Page Two Open Season on Elk In Morrow County Asked by French Increased Numbers of Animals Jeop ardizing Property It's time to open the season on elk in Morrow county. That is the as sertion of W. H. French, pioneer rancher of the south Hardman sec tion, who asserted when in town yesterday that the elk are getting so numerous in his section that it is impossible to keep the fences re paired which they tear down. Mr. French said the elk have been on the increase for several years, and two years ago he counted eight feeding in his stock corral. Grass has been plentiful this winter and until recently there was no snow to prevent their feeding on it, so he has not been bothered so much this win ter, though he has seen numerous elk through the season. A light snow this week covered the mountain section and since the snow he has found many elk tracks among the cattle tracks in the feed yard. Apparently hunting in the areas that have been opened on elk has resulted in driving the animals into the closed areas, said Mr. French, as there has been a noticeable in crease in numbers of elk in the last few years. "I've seen1 one big seven-point bull a number of times the last two years which I would like to get," he said, "and unless the season is open ed in the next year or so, I feel my hunting days will be over." This he said by way of showing a selfish interest in having the sea son opened, but emphasized the need for thinning out the animals because of their damage to property. F. F. Wehmeyer, local forest rang er, hearing Mr. French's report, be lieved that necessity for opening the season might well be. Though he and Mr. French could not decide up on any way of getting a check as to the exact number of the animals, it was agreed that indications of the animals' increase pointed to the need of thinning them out in this district. Commenting again upon the mild winter season in the mountains and abundant growth of grass, Mr. French sad he killed a steer the other day that was the fattest animal he ever saw in spite of the fact that he had not fed it a hundred pounds of hay all winter. As evidence of the steer's obesity he said that he ren dered a gallon of tallow from fat taken from around the animal's kid ney. The moss from many fallen trees resulting from the wet condition of the soil was cited as having aug mented the feed supply. All stock seems to relish this moss and to do well on it, Mr. French said.

Peck, county commissioner, after inter viewing Henry F. Cabell, chairman of the commission, in Portland last week. Cabell, who himself left shortly after the interview for Washington to lobby in behalf of the national road program, made no announce ment as to what the commission might be able to do. The state's po sition will be affected largely by federal appropriations still in the maining, was his stant. Conferences are yet to be held with representatives of many other counties also, before the year's pro gram can be definitely outlined. Explaining this county's position, Mr. Peck said that the court wired the commission early in the month asking cooperation, both in work and money, in carrying out the local program, outlined as follows: (1) The Heppner-Rhea creek road as far as Rugg's: An oil macadam commensurate with the travel upon that road. (2) Elimination of the sharp and dangerous curves on the Hardman hill road as the initial step in the construction of a modernized Hepp-ner-Spray, Heppner-Wasco road. (3) In the matter of dirt roads that are not now on the state sys tem, if there are any monies for con struction from federal funds (Hay-den-Courtwright act), these are to be expended on the road from Jar mon's to Pine City. "Morrow county's position is this," said Mr. Peck, "that the highway commission has been fully advised as to the particular roads that should be improved in 1938. A plan has been submitted to the highway commis- 2 WAY RELIEF FOR THE MISERY OF Talc 2 BAYER ASPIRIN tablatf and drink a full glass of water. Repeat traatmant In 2 hours.

All it usually costs to relieve the misery of a cold today is 3 to 5 relief for the period of your cold 15 to 25. Hence no family need neglect even minor head colds. Here is what to do: Take two BAYER tablets when you feel a cold coming on with a full glass of water. Then repeat, if necessary, according to directions in each package. Relief comes rapidly. The Bayer method of relieving colds is the way many doctors approve. You take Bayer Aspirin for relief then if you are not improved promptly, you call the family doctor.

Morrow Students Organize at O.S.C. Oregon State College, Corvallis, Jan. 15 Students from Morrow county, at a recent meeting, organ ized a Morrow county OSC club. Don Drake of Heppner and Ed Bur chell of Lexington tied for the honor of president and the group voted that they serve as co -presidents, al ternating in presiding at meetings. Other officers elected were vice president, Howard Cleveland of Heppner, and secretary-treasurer, Kenneth Peck of Lexington. Jimmie Edwards, presiding during election of officers, outlined some of the purposes of the OSC clubs. Burchell, presiding following elec tion, discussed tentative plans for future activities with the group.

Turner Speaks to CCC's on Citizenship Dinner guests of Co. 297 on last Thursdav were J. O. Turner, attor ney, Bert Johnson, county judge, and Chas. Barlow, county clerk. Attorney Turner spoke to the men of the com pany about the rights and duties of citizenship. He also commented on the variety of opportunity camp life offers enrollees to prepare for later life outside the camp. Mr. Jolley of the U. S. forest ser vice showed a 3-reel picture which gave enrollees of Co. 297 an oppor tunity to see what the year 1903 meant to Heppner, for that was the year 223 persons lost their lives in the Heppner flood. Though the pic ture was not of the 1903 flood in Heppner, it linked the flood menace possibility here with the reality of the disasters shown in the pictures of the east and midwest during the last few years, and gave a clear idea of what the flood control work in Heppner means, as well as the great necessity for flood control work in the east and midwest, the scenes of the pictures shown. Mr. Jolley also talked about forest fires, uses of the forest and true wild life conditions. Importance of the soil conservation work was pictured in slides shown by Mr. Victors, assistant CCC ad ministrator. Mr. Victors explained the slides which showed different arosion prevention found in the va ersoion prevention found in the va rious sections of the Pacific northwest. Read G. T. Want Ads.
