On to Rhea Creek
OREGONS highway commission
made no promises when in
Heppner Tuesday, but the county
court and citizens of Heppner who
were available made it plain to them
that this county feels it is entitled
to have oiled surfacing of the road
from Heppner to Rhea creek com
pleted next year.
The county court emphasized the
fact that grade work must be com
pleted this fall if the oiling is to be
accomplished next year. Whether
this can be done was not stated,
though Mr. Baldock, the state en
gineer, made notes on grade revision
and expected to have a check up
made on costs in the near future.
The visit itself of the commission,
and the admission by members of the
visiting party that this section of
road is the most heavily traveled
road in the county excepting only
the primary highway from Heppner
down Willow creek, makes prospects
of action heartening. A hitch, as
stated by the commission, lies in
the fact that, despite all publicity
given about large amounts of fed
eral aid road money coming into the
state, the total sum available next
year will be about 25 percent short
of last year.
Morrow county is depending upon
the fairness and broad vision of the
commission in bringing this project
to fruition. It is difficult to criticize
the men holding responsibility of
carrying on the state's largest busi
ness that of road building. They
are under demands from all sec
tions of the state and they must do
the best they can with funds avail
able. Certainly a close scrutiny will
reveal inequalities in' distribution
of funds and other seeming admin
istrative flaws. But those not on the
inside do not know the whole story.
Sometimes the commission finds
it advisable to place an extra large
amount of money in one place in or
der to bring a project to completion
and thus sooner realize on the in
vestment. Other times, worthy pro
jects are overlooked because-, the
people most interested do not bring
their story forcefully to the com
mission's attention. These and many
other considerations have a bearing
on the commission's action.
There are many undeniable factors
which must ultimately bring the
Heppner-Rhea creek road favorable
consideration, however. The fact of
its being a double secondary (being
a part of two state secondary high
ways), the fact of the potential tim
ber and wheat resources behind it,
the fact of the heavy traffic now ex
istent which is causing the road's
rapid deterioration and, one of the
largest facts to be considered the
fact that it is part of a cross state
route which inevitably will be heav
ily used by through traffic between
points in California and points to the
northeast of Heppner.
We join in thanking the commis
sion for the fair hearing they have
riven the project, and acknowledg
ing gratitude to the county court for
their action which led to trie com
mission's visit here.

New Barley Variety Looks Good
Albany A planting of Santiam
barley, a new variety released from
the Oregon experiment station last
fall for experimental trials under
farm conditions, was showing up
well on the Grimes farm near Har
risburg late in May, according to
County Agent F. C. "Mullen, and
gave promise of being a high-yield
ing variety. It showed tall, stiff straw
with three to five stalks to a plant
and was commencing to put out
large heads. Other Linn county far
mers who made trial plantings of the
new barley this year are Leslie Cade
and Mr. Blaine, of near Albany.
Local Man's Song
Pays Oregon Tribute
George M. Gibson's first views of
Oregon when he came through on
arrival from Tennessee inspired a
song which was accepted by Colum
bia Music Publishers, Ltd., of Tor
onto, Canada, and recently released.
Mr. Gibson has been employed at
Heppner hotel for the last year. He
came here about two years ago to
visit at the home of his sister, Mrs.
Lulu Herren Rumble and to recover
his health following a serious illness.
In the lines of the song Mr. Gibson
has perpetuated the feelings and
emotions obtained from many of
Oregon's grandeurs. It is entitled
"Nostalgia."
More County Timber
Goes to Kinxua
Transfer of 1000 acres of timber
land of the Hirschheimer estate in
Morrow county to Kinzua Pine Mills
was made this week through J.. H.
Dunlop, trustee, who was in the city
from Portland on Tuesday.
Mr. Dunlop reported that a block
of this timber is being turned to the
Kinzua Mills each year. It was his
understanding that Kinzua is setting
up a sustained yield operation and
will not start cutting on the timber
just acquired for several years.
