Mr. and Mrs. Frank Helms were
business callers in the city Monday
from the Butter creek farm. Just
for a little sightseeing, the Helms
family filled their lunch basket and
motored to Grand Coulee dam the
day before. The round trip of 566
miles from their place was made
easily in the one day with more
than an hour spent at the big dam.
That world's largest single piece of
masonry had the appearance of a
busmen's holiday, they said, it being
estimated that 20,000 cars visited the
dam that day and there was no
specially advertised attraction to
draw them. It will be some sijc
years yet before the dam will im
pound water, reported Mr. and Mrs.
Helms, but they said that anyone
who has not seen this project has
missed a sight of their lives.
F. F. Wehmeyer, ranger in charge
of the local forest district, gets to
see plenty of game in connection
with his work in the timbered area
but doesn't find much time to hunt.
He therefore satisfied himself with
a little two -point buck on a recent
hunt in company with his con Don.
The Wehmeyer family made another
special hunting jaunt to the timber
last Sunday and though Don did not
fill his tag all were rewarded by the
sight of one band of 60 elk and more
than a hundred doe and fawn.
Flustered by confusion that pre
vailed in the city water department
"when Mrs. Bert Kane, clerk, brought
in her big buck last week, the Ga
zette Times reporter failed to make
proper note of the kill made by J.
O. Rasmus, watermaster. Mr. and
Mrs. Rasmus returned last week from
a week's hunt in possession of a
"nice little fellow," as Orve put it.
Mrs. W. W. Sanderson of Beaver
ton visited in Heppner Saturday

F. H. Gray, Portland, manager of
a city lumber yard, arrived here

a nice buck which could not be lo
cated after many hours of trailing.
One list of recent fortunate buck
hunters picked up on the rounds
this week included "Pat" Cason,
Chas. Carty, W. S. Bennett, Henry
Peterson, C. A. Warren and Emery
Coxen. Lockers at local markets are
groaning with the heaviest fill of
venison in years.
Jim Bumside reported Monday
that he wears hip-high rubber boots
and carries a fishing pole every time
he goes after the cows at the Hard
man farm these days. Just Jim's way
of exaggerating the lack of rainfall
that has visited his farm in recent
weeks.
John W. Maidment and son, C. W.

Willows Grange
Building New Hall
Construction of a home for Wil
lows grange is under way in lone,
where a force of workmen are erect
ing the building on property recently
acquired for that purpose in the
north part of town. The new' hall
will supplant the present home of
the grange at Cecil.
When it was decided to build a
new hall the matter of a change of
location was also presented. While
Cecil is more nearly the geograph
ical center of the Willows jurisdic
tion, it is no longer the population
center. A site was sought farther up
the creek and after due considera
tion the building committee chose
a lot just at the town limits of lone.
The new building is designed to
meet not only present needs but fu
ture needs as well. It is 40 feet in
width and has a depth of 80 feet.
There will be a full basement pro
viding space for an ample kitchen,
rest rooms, furnace room, a juven
ile grange room and a 36 x 40 din
ing room. Generous allowance for
light and ventilation has been made
in the eight-foot concrete basement
walls.
On the main floor there will be a
large stage with the usual comple
ment of dressing rooms. It is the
plan of the builders to enhance in
every way possible the regular
grange work and special entertain
ments. Provision for motion pictures
is included and for this purpose a
projecting room will be built on a
third elevation with a stairway lead
ing from the main floor.
To relieve the plain exterior us
ually featuring such halls, the new
hall will have a decorative entrance,
or a "front porch." This will be con
structed to permit entrance on two
levels, the basement and the main
floor. Two concrete pillars to sup
port the floor of the main entrance
and the roof over the entrance will
likewise provide clearance for the
basement entrance. Stairs will be
built on either side of the porch.
The building committee has re
ceived donations of materials, money
and labor to cover a considerable
part of the cost of the building. The
balance will be financed through
bonds purchased by members.
In pouring the concrete for the
basement walls something of a rec
ord was established, according to
O. L. Lundell, who is taking a lead
ing part in the building enterprise.
A crew of 19 men completed the job
in six and three-quarters hours,
which is some mark to shoot at,
Lundell stated.
When completed, the new Willows
grange hall will be one of the best
in this area. It is the hope of the
builders that it may be ready for
use early in the forthcoming year.
