Local Garden Club
Given Send-Off
Final organization of the Heppner
Garden club was effected Monday
afternoon by Mrs. H. O. Mansfield
of Freewater, district vice president
of the state organization, at a meet
ing at the Episcopal Parish house.
Mrs. D. M. Ward was named pres
ident; Mrs. C. W. McNamer, vice
president; Miss Rose Leibbrand, sec
retary, and Mrs. J. O. Hager, treas
urer. These with Mrs. Charles B.
Cox, Mrs. A. D. McMurdo, Mrs.
Fred Lucas, Mrs. L. E. Bisbee, Mrs.
E. E. Gilliam and Miss Leta Hum
phreys, compose the charter mem
bership. Mrs. Mansfield, with Mr. Mans
field, attended the Monday Lions
luncheon with several members of
the local club and explained the
garden club work. She is president
of the Freewater club which won
the Kellogg prize nationally for the
best piece of community improve
ment in 1937. The garden club work
is concerned with beautification, as
the name implies, but also allies it
self with general betterment to en
hance the surroundings and oppor
tunities of underprivileged youth.
In Oregon the garden clubs are
especially active in promoting road
side beautification through elimina
tion of signboards and other man
made mars to the natural landscape.
Mrs. Mansfield said that Morrow
county should tell the world of its
Lexington-Jarmon highway, for it
is the only road she has encounter
ed anywhere in the state that is
entirely unaffected by signboards
and thus the best preserved in its
beautiful natural scenery of any
road in the state.
Attending the luncheon with Mrs.
Mansfield were Mrs. Ward and Miss
Leibbrand, local club officers. Miss
Leta, Peterson and Miss Rachel For
sythe obliged with violin duet num
bers accompanied by Virginia Dix.
John A. Harbke, 68,
Was Long Resident
John A. Harbke, 68, who as a
long-time resident of the lone sec
tion gave his name to common dust
storms of the area as "Harbke rains,"
died at his home in Portland, 4806
Northeast Twentieth avenue, Sat
urday, after a month's illness. For
many years he owned the famous
Wells springs ranch east of lone and
was instrumental in forming the
Wells Springs Gas & Oil company
which a few years ago attempted to
develop the well at Wells springs
from which natural gas has escaped
for years.
Mr. Harbke's oft-repeated asser
tion when a hard wind was blowing
the sand in the lone section that the
moisture thus brought was doing
the country much good caused peo
ple of lone to term the sand storms,
"Harbke rains," a term that has for
years been synonymous here with
such storms.
Native of Illinois, Mr. Harbke first
came to Oregon in 1882, settling on
a farm near lone. After the Hepp
ner disaster, he went to Portland in
1905. He managed property of Sam
uel Hill at Maryhill, Wash., from
1917 to 1922. He returned to Port
land, to the real estate business, and
directed development of the Vernon
tract. He retired five years ago.
He leaves the widow, Ine E., at the
home, and a daughter, Mrs. Helen
Johnson, Sappoose.
He had been a member of the Ma
sonic lodge at Goldendale, Wash., for
many years.
Funeral services were held Tues
day in Portland in charge of Hol
man & Lutz.

Pet Poison Victim;
Doctored Meat Found
Ginger, Irish setter of Mr. and Mrs.
P. W. Mahoney, fell victim to poison
this week, and another attempted
attack in what appears to be an out
break of periodic dog poisoning was
averted when Mrs. Will Morgan
picked up a small patty of hambur
ger in the upstairs hall of the First
National bank building which Dr.
L. D. Tibbies analyzed as definitely
containing strychnine.
The pet of Mr. and Mrs. Mahoney
to which they were fondly attached
and a fine hunting dog, was found
near the Joe Hughes place on the
Heppner hill road a short way from
the edge of town. Mrs. Hughes re
ported finding the dog which had
died in convulsions, Tuesday.
The patty of hamburger was
found Tuesday evening by Mrs. Mor-

gan at the bank building. The Mor
gan dog had come home but a short
while before and had been tied up
when the poisoned meat was found.
Mr. and Mrs. . Morgan believe the
meat was put there to kill their dog.
The meat was turned over to Dr.
Tibbies who made the analysis yes
terday morning and reported that
beyond doubt strychnine was present.
INVITE BOX FACTORY
Continued from First Page
employ remaining help locally. Be
cause of lack of local housing fa
cilities, they expect to contsruct
houses themselves for the families
brought in.
The plant will be electrically op
erated, and to show that at least a
ten-year operation is expected, the
company has offered to sign a ten
year contract with Pacific Power
& Light company. Ray Kinne, local
P. P. & L. manager, was in Port
land at the time of the meeting to
discuss with his company possibil
ities of increasing the load into
Heppner to take care of the de
mand. An additional load of 300
horsepower was said to be required.
If P. P. & L. cannot provide the load,
the box company officials were quot
ed as saying they will install a die
sel plant.
Further indication of the perma
nent type of set-up expected was
given in the report that the com
pany would cut timber in accord
ance with U. S. Forest service reg
ulations which encourage sustained
yield.
It was pointed out by several
speakers that it is customary for
tbwns where factories are established
to provide sites as an expression of
good will and cooperation. The ad
ditional business which a substantal
payroll brings to any cummunity
was cited as justification for such
procedure. The probable amount ex
pected to be raised for the site was
placed at $2500.
Schoolboy patrols in Tillamook
county are cooperating with the po
lice in discouraging motorists from
driving through occupied pedestrian
lanes without stopping. The patrols
note the license numbers of offend
ing drivers and report these num
bers to the police who then com
municate with the drivers and warn
against a repetition of their act This
plan was introduced at Tillamook
by the newly organized community
safety council, one of 22 which have
been. formed under the direction of
Secretary of State Earl Snell in this
state.
