By HARDMAN HIGH SCHOOL
The voters of school district No.
40 met at . the school on Monday,
with 25 in attendance. Mrs. Stanley
Robinson was elected as .chairman
of the meeting and Mrs. Marvin
Brannon, secretary. The budget was
accepted unanimously. Mrs. Neal
Knighten, the present clerk, was re
elected unanimously. Walter Wright

regular three-year term.
Mrs. Raymond McDonald, who had
. been ill for several days, was taken
to Heppner on Monday to consult
a doctor.
Our sick and injured citizens are
all getting better. Mrs. Sam Mc
Daniel, who has had a long illness,
is enjoying the . warm weather. Mrs.
Max Buschke, who lost part of a
finger and injured another in a
wood-cutting accident at their Long
prairie camp, was in Hardman over
the week end and reports that both
fingers are healing nicely. Lee Me
Roberts, who suffered a leg injury,
had the stitches removed. Miss Al
ene Inskeep is gaining back those
pounds she lost during a recent
sickness. But Jim Stevens injured
one of his eyes and is under a doc
tor's care.
Miss Ho Merrill left on Sunday
for Eugene where she is attending
summer school. Miss Merrill, who
teaches English in the high school at
Molalla, had spent two weeks at the
home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs.
E. J. Merrill, before leaving for the
valley.
Ivan Leathers of Monument visited
at the Owen Leathers home on Tu
esday of last week. He was on his
way from Heppner where he had
gone with a load of hogs, raised on
his ranch near Monument.
Mr. and Mrs. Carl Leathers and
daughter Jean who are located for
the summer in a place near Pilot
Rock were' in town on Sunday.
Mr. and Mrs. Herman Clemmer
and daughter Sylvia of The Dalles
visited here on Sunday at the home
of Mrs. Clemmer's parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Sabin Hastings.
John McDonald, Jim Stevens,
Charlie McDaniel and Everett Had
ley were called out to fight fire
which was burning near Grouse
springs. After it had been put out,
Mr. McDonald was left there to see
that there was no further trouble.
- One day last week S. T. Robison
moved his cattle from their winter
range to his place in the mountains.
The latter part of last week Wil
liam Greener went to Pendelton to
attend the Elks convention.
Mr. and Mrs. Ted Bumside and
children of Rood canyon are moving
into the Leon Chapin house here in
town.
On Sunday Mr. and Mrs. Clarence
Camichael of Lexington and Miss
Donna Leathers of Vancouver visit
ed at the home of Mr and Mrs. O.
H. Leathers. Miss Leathers is the
daughter of Otto Leathers, a brother
of Owen's, and she is spending two
weeks with her aunt, Mrs. Car
michael in Lexington.
Jim Brannon came over from
Prineville on Saturday, visited here,
and went on to Heppner to get Mrs.
Brannon and the children who have
been visiting at the William Cun

Most of the sheep and cattle which
pass through Hardman in the early
summer have reached their moun
tain range. On Thursday the Cason
sheep were taken from the lower
ranch to the mountain place.
The voters of Union Hight district
No. 1 will meet on Monday June 24,
for the purpose of electing one di
rector for a period of five years.
He will be from the Rood canyon
district.
Work on the road still continues,
causing a very dusty condition west
of town. It seems to be no tempor
ary affair, and will be better ap
preciated when the wet weather
season arrives.
Slight, and at times violent, breezes
tempered what might have been
uncomfortably hot weather during
the week. Wednesday of last week
was the worst, some thermometers
registering 96 on that day. Except
on that one morning fires were wel
comed for comfort during the first
hours after sunrise. There is need
of a good rain.
Town Originally
Standsbury Flat
To some of the older citizens of
Heppner it will not be news that the
town has not always been known
by that name, but it may be news
to many later comers that the orig
inal name was Standsbury Flat. That
was the name given the spot where
Heppner now stands when the set
tlement consisted of a log cabin and
a store, according to the state's first
complete guide book, "Oregon: End
of the Trail," written by the WPA
Oregon Writers' Project under the
sponsorship of the Oregon State
Board of Control.
Rye grass grew in abundance in
the Heppner section in 1858 when
the cattlemen drove their herds into
the region to graze. George W.
Standsbury's log cabin was the first
around which settlements grew from
the. cattle camps. Henry Heppner
and Jack Morrow established the
store in 1872. Later, at Standsbury's
suggestion, the name of the settle
ment was changed. Thus, in select
ing names for the town and the
county, these two pioneer merchants
were honored.
Car Registrations
Increase Over 1939
There were enough motor vehicles
registered in Oregon as of May 31,
to supply one to every man, woman
and child residing in Portland, Sa
lem and Eugene, figures compiled
at' the secretary of state's office
disclosed today.
Registrations totaled 332,160 vehi
cles, an increase of 5.91 percent
over the registration for the same
period last year. Registration fees
amounted to $2,453,495.93.
Private cars numbered 298,139, an
increase of 5.39 percent over the
same period last year, the figures
showed,
