Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Haycox and
Mrs. E. 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.
Collier's magazine carries a new
serial story by Mr. Haycox as a lead

NEW FUNDS HERE
TO AID FARMERS
Rehabilitation Loans Again
Available for Purchase of
Needed Capital Goods
Funds are again available for new
rural rehabilitation loans to farm
families without sufficient commer
cial credit to purchase needed live
stock, farm equipment, feed, seed
and other capital goods necessary to
carry on their farming operations,
announces R. 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.

While 4-H club members of Mor
