Site Money Returned
BUSINESS houses who, in Feb
ruary, contributed toward the
purchase of a site to locate a box
factory here, received their money
back this week. Disappointment has
been evidenced for some time that
plans of the company failed to ma
terialize, and the company deemed
it proper in fairness to contributors
to authorize return of the money
though their plans still favor Hepp
ner for an extension of their oper
ations. No definite promises have eman
ated from head officials of the com
pany at any time. At one time, it
seemed that all plans were in order
and a start would be made. But, us
Mr. Leash warned at the meeting
when solicitation of site funds was
authorized, unforseen problems came
up that had to clear through the
head office in Chicago, all of whicn
have delayed the expected start.
While disappointment prevails lo
cally that the company's plans have
so far failed to materialize, it is
heartening, as told in the company's
letter, that Heppner is still being
strongly considered. There should be
no loss of good will toward the
company on the part of our people,
and when their operation starts,
which still appears quite probable,
they should be received as warmly
as ever.
Timber purchases of the company
so far have resulted in one payroll
industry for the town, as they have
been keeping the Heppner Lumber
mill busy cutting logs. Addition of
a box factory, surely, would be most
welcome and that, according to Mr.
Kraft's letter, is not yet out of the
picture.
Again, we can not help but say
thank you, Mr. Leash and Mr. Kraft,
for your fairness, and may you
come again to stay.
preme court this week. Only two
of the 61 were women. The per
centage of successful applicants was
much higher this year than last
when much criticism was leveled at
the board of bar examiners for the
heavy casualties inflicted in grading
the examination papers.

61 Pass Bar Exam
By A. L. LINDBECK
Salem Former Governor Charles
H. Martin has come out flat-footedly
for John Nance Garner as his choice
for the Democratic candidate for
president. In a letter addressed to
several hundred "real Democrats"
throughout Oregon he urges their
support in electing a uarner-in-structed
delegation to the Demo
cratic national convention.
"I am convinced that the real
democrats of Oregon are tired of
the damn fool idiocyncracies of the
new deal and will welcome the
chance to vote for a sound conser
vative statesman as their party's
nominee next year," Martin's letter
reads in part.
While in Salem this week attend
ing the annual convention of the
American Legion the former govern
or and retired major general spiked
rumors that he would seek election
to Congress as has been rumored.
Instead, he said, he would devote his
entire efforts during the next few
months to advancing the cause of
Garner with whom he served dur
Ing his two terms in Congress and
for whose ability he has a great deal
of respect
Sixty-one of the 95 applicants for

is remaining there for a several

CAR HITS POWER POLE
When her dog momentarily inter
fered with her driving, Mrs. Boet-
tiger from the Fred Mankin farm in
the lone district, swerved her car
into a power pole beside the highway
near the Robison service station at
lone. The accident happened short
ly after noon, Saturday. Mrs. Boet
tiger escaped with scratches, the
car was considerably damaged, and
the pole was tilted at a 45 degree
angle. Serious calamity was nar
rowly avoided, reports Ray P. Kinne,
local manager of P. P. & L. company,
who said insulators on the pole were
loosened so that little held the high
tension wire from falling on the
car. Repairs to the line were made
without cutting out service, the work
requiring about five hours. Kinne
said this is the second such acci
dent on the local branch this year,
from which, fortunately, the driv
ers escaped serious injury.

HEREFORD CATTLE
Our cattle are the large type of
Herefords. They have heavy bone,
straight legs, good heads and a coat
of dark red curly hair. I believe we
have the largest type of Hereford
cattle in the state. They are smooth,
very easy keepers and will get fat
at any age on any good range.
Some of our cows will weigh 1600
lbs. and many of them 1400 and 1500
1V. Our herd bulls weigh over a
ton at four years old.
We have both the Polled and horned types. Both kinds are
RICHLY BRED DOMINO CATTLE.
WE NOW HAVE FOR SALE A FEW YEARLING BULLS AND
A FEW JANUARY BULL CALVES; ABOUT 15 BRED TWO-YEAR-OLD
HEIFERS, AND 15 YEARLING HEIFERS.
When in need of good heavy range bulls or foundation female stock,
look us up.
