VISITING CANADIAN PUBLISHER GOES
THROUGH PRESS FREEDOM BATTLE
Having one's newspaper brought
under the iron heel of a popular dic
tator is no fun. So says Charles
Clark, publisher of the High River
(Alta., Canada) Times, who is visit
ing in Heppner with his brother,
Malcolm D. Clark, long-time mer
chant Mr. Clark's newspaper, unfortun
ately, was one of those who opposed
some of the Utopian schemes of Al
berta's Premier Aberhard, including
the fantastic $25 per person per
month social security plan. Though
this plan and three other Aberhard
ideas for making everyone prosper
ous have since been turned thumbs
down upon by the national domin
ion supreme court and the privy
council at London, newspapers which
opposed them were treated badly,
said Mr. Clark.
Aberhard was elected by a large
majority and his schemes found pop
ular approval, fantastic as they were.
Therefore, Aberhard was able to pass
extra-legal acts. One of these in
cluded establishment of a news cen
soring board. This board called un
friendly publishers on the carpet,
and Mr. Clark was made to appear
at Edmonton four times. In the heat
of the battle Aberhard partisans
started a boycott on the blacklisted
papers, making the going rather
more rough.
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Becket who
were in the city from the Eight Mile
farm Friday morning reported a
very heavy rain at their place in
the storm of the evening before, but
little damage to grain was expected.
Harvesting operations had been dis
rupted momentarily, however.
Carl F. Bergstrom was in town
Friday from the Gooseberry farm.
The rain storm of the evening be
fore was reported to have hit heav
ily at his place, but the only damage
expected was that to summerfallow.
Soil in the wheat field had been wet
to a depth of seven inches.
R. C. Thompson, pharmacist from
Portland, is assisting at the Patter
son & Son store during the illness
of B. R. Patterson. Mr. Patterson is
confined for the second week at the
apartment in Heppner hotel and
Muriel Van Marter has been assist
ing with his care.
Frank Swaggart is over from the
John Day river ranch assisting with
harvest at the Lena place. He was
in town yesterday looking after bus
iness in connection with making
final proof on his homestead, Aug. 9.
Miss Phyllis Pollock, daughter of
Mrs. Glen Jones, has accepted a po
sition to teach the coming school
year at Everett, Wash. She has been
attending summer school at Belling
ham normal.
Logie Richardson left Friday eve
ning for Portland where he was
joined by other members of the fam
ily for a week's motor trip to points
on the coast, Oregon caves and Cra
ter lake.
Mr. and Mrs. W. O. Bayless and
niece, Miss Vivian Hobbs of Rose
Hill, Va., enjoyed a motor trip last

T,es Rmindv. local caroenter. made
a business trip to Hermiston yes
terday. The newspapers finally gained the
upper hand, through strong united
effort and when Mr. Clark left home
things appeared again to be resum
ing their course in favor of freedom
of the press. Most al Isubscribers
who quit the Times under heat of
battle had again subscribed, but Mr.
Clark opined that Mr. Aberhard was
still bringing forth tricks of leger
dermain that boded ill for the prov
ince. One of the principal effects of the
dictator's efforts to date has been the
discrediting of Alberta bonds from
a pre-Aberhard position of above
par to slightly more than 50 cents.
This unfavorable government finan
cial position is a black mark upon
the provincial credit entirely unde
served, for Alberta is the richest
province in the dominion, said Mr.
Clark.
The publisher visitor reported crop
conditions in his section excellent
this season, with wheat yielding an
average of 35 bushels. Additional ec
onomic stability to the immediate
region is given by a large oil field
some fifty miles distant that pro
duces 7000 barrels a day and that on
a quota basis.
Mr. Clark had made a tr'p out to
Vancouver, B. C, on business, and
being "so near" Heppner he decided
to jaunt down for a week's call on
his brother.
BOYS ENJOY TRIP
Max Schulz, Lawrence Wehmeyer,
Jimmy Johnston and Freddie North
rup had an interesting motor trip to
Portland this week. Northrup, for
mer CCC enrollee and helper at lo
cal restaurants, went on to San Frart
cisco. On the road the boys noted
that more than half the cars seen
were from Washington and Califor
nia, with a liberal proportion of oth
er foreign licenses. They expected
to see a wreck once when a four
wheel trailer swung into a bank.
Though it caused the car to swerve
considerably, the driver got things
straightened out without mishap.
Jantzen Beach, Columbia park and
the navy ships were given thorough
inspection, and the fire department
answering a false alarm added to the
thrilling sights. The climax of thrills
came, however, when Max rescued
his car a few minutes after it was
stolen. He had left the car parked

with two of the boys in it. The boys
left the car a few minutes and in
the interim another fellow drove off
with it. Max saw the car going up
the street and jumped on the run
ning board. Finding a strange driver
at the wheel, he asked how come.
The fellow said he had a like car
parked about the same place and
had just made a mistake. The boys
detained the alleged thief about an
hour, but as no cop showed up they
let him go after taking his home ad
dress. Encountering a state police
man a while later, they gave the ad
dress to him and it was learned that
no such man lived at the address.
Max said he saw another car stolen
about 4th and Madison. The car was
leaving the curb when the owner
saw it going from a short distance
and rushed after it. Traffic lights
changed just after the car ffot oast
the intersection, and it disappeared
before the owner could catch up.
