Richardson and Howard Again
Head Hunters and Anglers
After Sunday Meeting
Hunters and anglers of Morrow
county to the number of some 170
assembled at the mess hall of Camp
Heppner, CCC, Sunday evening,
partook of a bountiful chicken din
ner, elected officers for the ensu
ing year, heard reports by the pres
ident and secretary and a talk by
Harold Sevey, supervisor of the
eastern Oregon game farms, who
came from Pendleton to attend the
meeting.
Reports submitted by J. Logie
Richardson, president, and George
A. Howard, secretary, indicated that
the Hunters and Anglers club has
made some progress in the last year.
On March 15 last year it was decid
ed the membership was too small.
A brief drive for members remed
ial this situation. Then Frank Wire
paid a visit to Heppner and the re
sult of that visit was more birds
a-nA fish. The club provided funds
for screening irrigation ditches and
the CCC boys put the screens in
nlaoe. Fish shipments included dUUU
trout running from nine to 16 in
ches in length and 25,000 tmger
lings. All fish planted in streams of
the county hereafter will be or leg
al size, according to Richardson,
who said that a shipment of 10,000
trout will arrive here in the next
few days.
Showing that the work ot tne
sportsmen's club is effective, it was
pointed out that Morrow county in
1938 received 800 birds while in
1939 the number was increased to
2200.

Richardson and Howard were tne
unanimous choice of the sportsmen

Perhaps the most widely traveled
musical organization of the Pacific
coast is the Oregon State College
Caet band which will play in Hepp
ner Monday evening. The band's
travels have extended from annual
state tours to visits to several
world fairs and on one occasion, in
1930, it accompanied the football
team to Chicago. This will be the
band's third concert appearance in
Heppner.
Guests of Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Bar-
ratt this week are Mrs. Ralph Bai
ley and son Stephen of Salem.
Oscar Peterson of lower Eight
Mile was. transacting business in
Heppner Tuesday.
Snappy Slugfesr
Billed by Firemen
Twentv-six fast and furious
rounds of boxing is the menu for
the Heppner Fire department's smo
ker to be staged at the county lair
pavilion Saturday evening. At least
that is what is scheduled but you
never can tell about a fight card.
Some of the boys may be on their
feet at the end of the scheduled
four, six or eight rounds, and there
is always the chance that some of
them won't last through the first
rnimii.
Stanley Partlow, 153, Boardman
and Louis Doney, 157, Heppner, give
promise of staging a real get-togeth
er. Partlow comes Iresh irom a
victory over Kid Thornley, Portland
leather pusher, at Boardman last
Thursday evening. It will take some
foxy glove work on Doney's part
to reduce Partlow's hatband and
Doney's backers say he is the guy
to deliver the goods.
The main eventers will have to
look to their knitting if the show
is not to be stolen from them when
Sammy McCracken,-146, and Mike
Moschella, same weight, come to
gether for the semi-final engage
ment of six rounds. These tough
babies live over the hill from each
other, McCracken at Hermiston and
Moschella at Stanfield. They are
Wfll acauainted and each has the
insatiable desire to administer a
sleeping potion in the form of a
havmaker.
Another battle giving promise or
fireworks is the special bout be
tween "Tornado" Partlow of Board-
man an "Battling" Corpe of Hermis
ton. These lads balance the scales
at 148 and have about as much love
for oach other as an English pit
bulldog and an Angora tomcat. The
Marquis of Queensbury would
Mush to see the manner in which
these boys bandy his rules about in
their eagerness to "exodust each
nthpr
Two snappy preliminaries have
been arranged, featuring Keith Mar
shall, Pendleton, vs. John Klocko,
Hillsboro and Melvin Gumm, Bea
veton vs. Rex Hensley, Portland.
The show starts promptly at 7:30
o'clock p. m.
MORE FEDORAS IN RING
Signs that the political campaign
is beginning to warm up a bit are
evident in the increasing length of
the announcement .column in the
Gazette Times. Three more figura
tive fpdoras were tossed into the
mythical arena this week with the
announcements of Frank U Allred,
district attornev: Mrs. Lucy E.
Rodgers, school superintendent, and
Marie Clary, who aspires to the
school iob. . This completes the list
of offices .to be filled and so far
rumors have been absent regarding
other filings.
