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.

Federal Action
Morrow county's desires in regard
to its secondary state highway pro
gram have been placed in the hands
of the state highway commission
who have the brunt of action at this
time, announces George N. 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-

All it usually costs to relieve the

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.

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.
