Tuesday's Bond
Election
T TOTERS of Heppner will go to
V the polls next Tuesday to de
cide upon whether or not $16,500 in
new bonds shall be issued to obtain
PWA assistance in improving the
water system. The matter is one of
special interest to property hold
ers for if the bonds are voted all
property will have an additional lia
bility, while if the bonds are not vot
ed needed improvements in the wa
ter system may be unduly delayed.
The situation here is somewhat
different from that prevailing at
Lexington, where voters will also
decide upon a similar bond issue the
same day, and Lexington people,
while they should express them
selves, should not be influenced by
the situation here.
A point to be considerd by Hepp
ner voters is the existing bonded
obligation now totalling $64,000. Of
this amount $10,000 was scheduled
for redemption this year, but $5000
is being refunded, which will leave
after payment of $5000 on October
15, a total of $59,000 which, under
the present payment schedule will
fall due in coming years as follows:
1939, $10,000; 1940, $5,000; 1941, $5,
000; 1942, $17,000; 1943, $6,000; 1944,
$7,000; 1945, $3,000; 1946, $3,000; 1947,
$2,000; 1948, $1,000.
The outstanding bonds bear in
terest ranging from ZYz to 6 per
cent annually.
State law compels that retirement
of municipal bond issues must start
within five years of date of issu
ance, so that should the new $16,500
issue be made its retirement would
necessarily start in 1943. The sched
ule of redemption on the new issue,
if voted, has not been worked out,
but voters may figure how it would
link into the present schedule as
above noted whether it be on a five
or 10-year repayment basis.
It should be noted under the pres
ent schedule, however, that the ex
tra large sum of $17,000 falls due in
1942. It is highly probable that it
will be necessary to refund $10,000
of this amount, throwing an addi
tional burden upon later years be
ginning not later than 1947. The na
ture of this refunding will naturally
be affected by the action of voters
on the present issue. There is the
possibility, however, that favorable
refunding conditions such as have
existed for the last two years may
not prevail at that time, in which
case a special election may be nec
essary to enable raising the tax lev
ied in the one year enough to meet
the entire payment.
As against the bothersome bond
"schedule and fairly large bond bur
den already existing, there appears
the need for improvement of the
water system. The replacement of
mains included in the project is
badly needed. Many of the present
mains are almost gone. They will
have to be replaced soon in any
event Then there is need for aug
menting the water supply. The pres
ent pumping system at the wells was
installed temporarily and is about
worn out. Either provision must be
made for more permanent installa
tion for pumping purposes or addi
tional development of water must
soon be undertaken.
It has been pointed out by Mayor
Jones that these items can be taken
Heppner
care of a little each year on a "pay-as-you-go"
basis. With the street
situation now being such as to re
quire less expenditure for upkeep
in future years, more of the regular
tax levy can go for this purpose, he
points out, and a saving made of the
interest money required to carry the
bonds.
But in answer to Mayor Jones,
councilmen favoring the bond issue
say there is no way to assure the
carrying out of such a program.
The present council cannot hold fu
ture councils to its action. They be
lieve that the entire program can
be accomplished now, if approved
by PWA, at no greater ultimate cost,
and the city will be definitely as
sured of the improvement.
However, if the bonds are favor
ably acted upon it still remains for
PWA to make the final decision,
whether or not it will assist the city
to the extent of standing 45 per cent
of the $30,000 total estimated cost
of the project.
Whatever the decision of voters
may be, they should express them
selves at the election Tuesday. That
is the purpose of calling the elec
tion. Support the Team
TOMORROW afternoon Heppner
high school's football season of
ficially opens when the team plays
Fossil here.
Prospects are bright for one of
the strongest teams the school has
produced in years, according to all
reports. The boys are hard at work
under Coach Knox's tutelage and
they expect to give a good account
of themselves .
To equip the team properly this
year more than usual expense was
incurred, but the team will appear
in snappy outfits.. This will give
additional thrill to spectators while
making their patronage requisite to
a successful season financially.
There is guarantee, in all, that the
games will be well worth seeing
from the standpoint of good football,
as well as for adding to the relaxa
tion and pleasure of townsfolk. The
short time. taken off from business
or other duties will not be missed.
Let's give the boys a good send-
off when they play Fossil tomor
row, and stay with them through
out the season, win or lose.

Cherry-Lear Nuptials
Corvallis Event
(Corvallis Gazette Times)
A wedding of wide interest in Cor
vallis and one of outstanding lovely
bridal events of the late summer
was the marriage Sunday (Septem
ber 18) of Miss Ruth Cherry and
Gene Lear, the latter of Heppner.
The ceremony was performed
Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock in the
First Methodist Episcopal church,
with the Rev. O. W. Payne of Salem
officiating. Rev. Payne is an old
time friend of the Cherry family.
The bride, who was given in mar
riage by her father, made a charm
ing picture in a gown of white satin
styled in princess effect with shirred
sleeves and train. She wore a fin
gertip length veil of tulle and car
ried a bouquet of lillies of the val
ley and gardenias. The wedding mu
sic was played by Miss Helen Larsen
of Portland who rendered Lohen
grin's wedding march for the pro
cessional and later played Mendels
sohn's march for the recessional.
The same song which had been part
of the wedding ceremony of the
bride's parents, "Oh Promise Me,"
was sung by Mr. W. L. Nichols.
Misses Jean and Mildred Cherry,
sisters of the bride, attended as
bridesmaids, and were gowned in
marquisette in blue and peach' tones,
each carrying bouquets of pink lilies
and blue delphiniums. Mr. Jack
Harris of Condon attended Mr. Lear
as best man. The church was dec
orated with palms, tall bouquets of
gladiolas and lighted with tapers in
candelabra.
A reception was given at the home
of the bride's parents following the
ceremony with immediate friends
and relatives present.
Miss Dorothy Grutze of Portland
cut the wedding cake and Miss Helen
Harris, also of Portland, presided
over the punch bowl. Assisting with
serving were Mrs. Vardyn Buchan
an of Corvallis, Mrs. Robert Graham
of Canby and Misses Margaret Fro
man and Beatrice Price of Portland.
Gazette Times, Heppner,

Normal school at Monmouth and
has been teaching in the schools at

wedding trip featured visits to the
Oregon caves, Crater lake and other
points of interest in Oregon. As a
going away costume Mrs. Lear wore
a teal blue suit with brown access
ories. Mr. and Mrs. Lear arrived in
Heppner the first of the week and
have taken apartments in the apart
ment house of Mrs. Martha Wright

Use BASUL the Basic Copper Sulphate Approved by
Growers and Experiment Stations
Don't let Bunt or Smut infection rob your yield and profits.
Use the improved treatment Sherwin-Williams BASUL.
BASUL is a fine powder which adheres especially well to the
seed. It is a vast improvement over copper carbonate, because
costs less per pound, provides equal or better control, and is
easily applied with standard seed treating equipment. BASUL
contains 52 metallic copper the same as high grade copper
carbonates so use it at only 2 ounces per bushel of seed.
In actual tests by many experiment stations throughout the
country, BASUL has given equal or better results than copper
carbonate and other products designed for smut control!
Seed treated with BASUL can be stored for months without
Injury; will not "set" in the drill.
SO BASUL is proving good news for wheat growers
better smut control at lower cost with greater convenience!
