THE BOY SCOUT executive com
mittee submits this appeal for
financial aid. May it touch a re
responsive chord in Heppner hearts,
and a responsive jingle in club cof
fers: "Boy Scouts of America has been
one of the greatest factors in the
development of the youth of the
United States. Next to home, church
and school it has left its mark of
betterment in the lives of millions
of boys the last quarter of a century.
There is no case but where the boy
has received much mental, moral
and physical stimulus from his
membership. Where there is an ac
tive troop it has solved much of the
problem of what the boy is to do in
his spare time, especially through
the summer vacation period.
"Heppner has a local troop that is
badly in need of support and en
couragement. More boys are need
ed to join this fine organization and
they will be welcomed anytime by
Scoutmaster Tom Wells or Assist
ant Scoutmasters Rev. Martin Clark
and Howard Bryant. Parents are
requested to encourage their boys
to join and attend. Friends and
parents, financial support is also
needed. It is necessary to raise $100
this month to cover the year's obli
gations if the local troop is to con
tinue as an official organization."
1939 Wheat Loan
Rate Increased
On Oregon Farms
Oregon farmers cooperating with
the AAA farm program will be
able to get government loans on
this year's wheat crop at rates some
what higher than in 1938, according
to announcement by N. C. Donald
son of Corvallis, state executive
officer.
The loan value of wheat will be
increased seven cents in most
cases, and where there is a high
protein content it will be increased
even more, he stated. Although the
1939 loan program will be similar to
that of 1938, there will be these
three principal changes::
1. Rates to farmers are slightly
higher in the Great Plains and Pa
cific northwest areas. For Oregon
this means a basic terminal rate of
73 cents at Portland for No. 1 soft
white wheat as compared with 67
cents last year.
2. At county points where rates
are computed on the basis of term
inal rates, the rates are increased
by a cent. For example, last year
the rate at Pendleton was 15.4 cents
less than the rate at Portland. This
year the difference is 14.4 cents.
3. The loan rate on hard red
spring, hard red winter and hard
white wheat is increased to include
an allowance for a protein premium
where farmers can obtain protein
tests or certificates of protein con
tent. AAA county committees will cer
tify producers who are eligible for
these four per cent loans, and will
be responsible for grading and in
specting farm -stored wheat. Only
growers who have signed farm plan
estimate sheets, indicating partici
pation in the 1939 program, and who
have seeded their wheat within the
wheat allotment, will be eligible.
"The announcement of the pro
gram two months earlier than last
year will greatly aid farmers in
planning their operations," said
Donaldson.

"Whiskey Gulch Gang" Origin Told
As Canyon City Prepares Celebration
By E. P. TRUESDELL
Canyon City Many visitors to
the Canyon City annual "62" cele
bration, particularly easterners, ask,
"Where did you get that name, The
Whiskey Gulch Gang?'"
Names for the many celebrations
of the west, and sponsors therefor,
are many and varied, unique and
descriptive, but ,few if any equal
that of the sponsors of Canyon
City's annual show for distinctive
ness and originality, yet few know
the origin of the name.
Back in the prohibition days the
name was a bit unfortunate, for
many thought it meant what it said
and came to this interior section
expecting free and liberal indulg
ence in the flowing bowl.
But be that as it may, when Can
yon City was a wild and woolly
mining camp, back in 1878, word
came that an unusually large num
ber of Indians were headed this way.
In the past it had been found that
when the bucks came to town they
helped themselves to the "firewater"
and raised h . So when the report
came that this big band was coming,
all the liquor in town, public and
private stocks, was hastily gathered
and taken to a gulch on the south

edge of town that ran back into the
mountains, and buried, all of it, that
the Indians might find nothing to
arouse their latent viciousness. In
their haste to get the stuff buried,
many forgot just where they had
deposited it, hence whiskey was dug
up here and there, by accident or
persistent effort in that gulch, for
many years thereafter. Thus the
gulch got its name, "Whiskey
Gudch." Henry Kuhl, long a citi
zen of Canyon City, now of New
port, was the last one known to
have found any of the buried
liquor.. He dug up, accidentally, of
course, four big, full quart bottles,
some ten years ago. They had been
planted upright, and though the
corks had loosened and some evap
orated, yet each remained half full
of liquor that was liquor.
Hence, when the "62" celebration
was started, the boys who sponsored
it adopted the name of the Whiskey
Gulch Gang. Not to mislead any
visitors, but as a unique name to go

Making Maraschino
Cherries At Home
Cherry season always brings
many requests for information on
how to make maraschino cherries
in small quantities at home. The
food products department at Oregon
State college, which pioneered in
commercial methods of making
maraschino cherries, has recently
issued a circular of information
which tells how to modify the large
scale commercial methods and ap
ply them to gallon lots of pitted
cherries. i
Preparing maraschino cherries in
volves bleaching, stemming and pit
ting, leeching, dyeing, applying the
syrup and the desired flavor. Al
though dyed cherries are generally
flavored with imitation maraschino
flavor, other kinds may be used,
such as almond extract, rose, lemon,
or grenadine. The bleached cherries
are also sometimes dyed green and
then flavored with mint.
The mimeographed circular No.
198 also contains detailed instruc
tions, and addresses of places where
dyes and other materials may be
purchased.
