Marion Oviatt drove Mark Merrill to Toppenish, Wn., Tuesday evening where Mr. Merrill went to see a sis ter who is quite ill.

Mrs. D. A. Wilson and mother, Mrs. Jennie Elder, departed the middle of last week for Bremerton, Wash., to visit relatives. 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 week which took them to Crater lake and northern California.

Frank Swagart, Lena. 21-22p 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 THE STAR Reporter FRIDAY- SATURDAY Gene Autry and Champion Smiley Burnette, Colorado Hillbillies in The Old Barn Dance A new high in merry-action-packed musical westerns plus LAUREL and HARDY in SWISS MISS with Delia Land, Walter Woolf King, Eric Blore Big game hunters, stalking the Alps with an armful of mousetraps; five smash tunes.

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.
