P. Hoyt were guests at th J. G. Barratt home Friday night on the way to their homes at Portland from attending the Pendleton Round-Up. Mr. Haycox is a noted author of western stories, and Mrs. Hoyt, formerly miss Cecile DeVore of this city, is the wife of the man aging editor of the Portland Ore- gonian. The visiting party drove through by automobile. Mr. Hoyt, former Pendletonian and ardent Round-Up booster, was prevented from accom panying them because of work on the Portland end in bringing Oregonian readers last-minute pictures of the Pendleton show via the Oregonian's lately improved wirephoto system. By this system, the Oregonian had pictures of the afternoon show on the streets of Portland before the show was over.

S. Thompson, county supervisor, Farm Security adminis tration, USDA, Federal building, Pendleton. Each applicant must be a bona fide farm family, and must be lo cated on a productive farm capable of supporting the family and repay jng the loan on the basis of an ap proved farm plan. Applicants who are not owners of their farms, must have a satisfactory rent, lease or other tenure agree ment. Farm plans based on estimated livestock production and crop yields are worked out for each loan in co operation with the county supervis or, to protect both the borrower and the loan. Farm and home plans also provide for producing a maximum of home food needs such as fruit, vegetables, meat, dairy products and eggs on the farm. No Open Season on Elk in Morrow County There will be no open season on elk in Morrow county this year, This information is conveyed in a letter to the Gazette Times from F. B. Wire, state game supervisor. Wire writes: "This office has been informed that there has been some misunder standing by Morrow county resi dents as to whether or not the elk season will be open in Morrow coun ty this year. "Although the legislature provid ed that the elk season could be de clared open in Morrow county if found advisable, the commission de cided not to do so. Therefore, there will, be no open season on elk in Morrow county in 1937. The regu lations as described in the 1937 hunt ing synopsis, copy enclosed, super cede those in the 1937-38 Oregon game code." JOHNSON-GRIFFITH The marriage of Mrs. Mary S Johnson of Heppner to Phillip S. Griffin, young farmer of the lone sec tion, was an event of last Thursday in Heppner. The ceremony was per formed at the home of Alvin Klein feldt, Christian minister, with Mr. Kleinfeldt officiating. M. J. Wise man and Mrs. Kleinfeldt were witnesses. in the current issue, and a unique experience was reported in that con nection with his visit here. A friend of the Barretts' was sitting at home reading the story when the telephone rang. Imagine his surprise when he answered to receive an invitation to meet the author. The noted author was pleased wtih this year's presentation of the west ern classic from which he has found much material for stories in the past. Barring the Turtles did not hurt the show in any department except the roping and dogging, he believed. He asserted the bucking was the best he ever saw. Mr. Haycox evidenced an interest in the Heppner section as a source of material for future stories. Re siding at Portland where he does much of his writing, he is an ardent student of Oregon history and takes pride in a collection of Oregon maps showing the development of the state from its earliest beginnings. C. A. MINOR MAKES SOLO MOTOR TRIP INTO SHEPHERD OF HILLS COUNTRY "Well, here am I in the Shepherd of the Hills country," writes C. A. Minor, Morrow county pioneer, from Holister, Mo., where he is visiting at the home of his son Ellis and family. He continues: When I left Heppner the last day of Rodeo, I went to Mitchell, turned the little boy Minor over to school, back to Mt. Vernon. But Mt Vernon was lonesome now to me, the home is in name only; so I drove on to Pendleton, then to Baker, expected to leave car at Baker, but kept go ing on to Boise then to Salt Lake. The artery that bothers me was hurting so I laid over that day. I drove Salt Lake over, but all was changed. Mae (Mrs. Minor) and I wintered there (for her health) now 40 years ago. I looked for the lit tle cottage, but there are banks, stores and great buildings there now. About the only thing that looked normal was Brigham Young's statue, the temple and the auditorium. The great rows of poplar trees that lined the streets on each side are gone, and Amelia's mansion, Brigham's fa vorite wife's home, is gone, and the row of adobe where about twenty of his wives lived is all gone. Their homes were in one building (dobie), just one room each, one window and one door for each room, about 14x16. Salt Lake is a great town. What im pressed me most was the trip from Salt Lake to Denver over route 40. Where you cross the divide it's about 11,370 feet elevation, trout streams on each side, clear and cold, good grass, lots of alfalfa. But on passing Denver and cross ing the desert plains, I thought of those years (back on the road of life) when we used to spur for Old Chuck Gleason's camp down in the lower Juniper country, Juniper springs, and stay all night with Chuck and listen to his tales; if you have forgotten which, just ask Dave, Mike or Les. Stopped and watched them make molasess syrup yesterday. A slow process. I am going down amongst the real Hillbillies tomorrow. Several of these boys used to herd for me. Am going down to see them if possible. I drove from Mitchell, Ore-, to here, 2300 miles, all alone in just seven days. Had I known that I was going to drive would have taken my sister, Delia Hallock, along, but did not expect to at the start- Leaving your car to take the train, while enroute, is like taking off your saddle late at night, leaving your horse and starting on alone; your car is your companion. Could Mae have lived to make this trip, as we had planned, how . she would have enjoyed it. I thank the people of Heppner for the good time they gave me.
