'Colorless' Display
Explained by Court
Members of the Morrow county
court want it understood that they
are as patriotic as the rest of the
country and that when the United
States flag was not displayed on
Decoration day there was a good
reason. Criticism has been offered
by some observing persons and this
has been taken in good part by the
court. Since the matter has been
brought to public attention it is
felt that a word of explanation is
in order.
Some time ago the court placed
an order with a Portland firm for
a new flag for the courthouse. The
Portland firm could not fill the order
and had to send east for a flag. In
the meantime, the flag which had
been used for several vears was
considered in too poor condition to
raise for Decoration day and the
courthouse went flagless that day.
A few days later Judge Bert John
son received an undated, unsigned
postcard calling attention to the
oversight.
Judge Johnson was out of town
last week and before leaving gave
orders that the old flag should be
unfurled on National Flag day re
gardless of its condition. This was
done and on Monday of this week
a nice new 12 x 20 flag arrived. The
court promises that there will be
no recurrence of the Decoration day
episode.
Tom Beymer Injured
In Tilt With Horse
Tom Beymer, Hinton creek ranch
er, suffered a compound fracture of
the left leg Monday in an encounter
with a fractious horse. The accident
happened about 4 o'clock p. m. when
Beymer and a hired man attempted
to throw the animal for the pur
pose of trimming its mane and tail.
The horse is one that Beymer has
had for several years. Each season
he has had to re-break the animal
as it has been worked for a short
period and turned out to pasture.
It required an hour or so to get the
horse into the corral Monday and
having a short lariat Beymer refus
ed to allow the hired man to do the
roping, taking the responsibility
himself. He looped the rope over the
horse's neck and the rope was so
short that when the captive reared
up he pulled Beymer under him. The
man was kicked and trampled re
sulting in the compound fracture.
V. R. Runnion was passing the
ranch at the time and brought Bey
mer to a physician. An examination
revealed serious injury to the leg
and Beymer was taken to The Dalles
for hospital treatment.
BATTERY TERMINALS
All battery connections must be
kept clean and tight to prevent
starter failure, says the mechanical
department of the Oregon State Mo
tor association. Loose or corroded
terminals cause most starter trouble.

FLAGS CAN BE CLEANED
Friday, June 14 found Heppner
iirms observing National Flag day
in the usual manner by displaying
flags in front of business houses. At
tention to this matter so closely ad
hered to by our citizens is com
mendable and there is but one flaw
in the procedure calling for com
ment. Some of the flags were badly
soiled. No doubt this was an over
sight due to infrequent use of the
colors and from not having a place
for storing them properly. Regard
less of the cause, the fleas can be
cleaned. With the Fourth of July
close at hand, would it not be a good
idea to try a little cleaning solvent
on the flags so that they will more
clearly express our appreciation of
the things for which the national
emblem stands?
L. E. Bisbee and Chas. B. Cox
are expected home today from Dia
mond lake where they spent several
days trying to lure the speckled
beauties from their mountain retreat.
Game Commission
Opposed to Park
Opposition to the creation of the
proposed Cascade Ridge National
park, extending along the summit
of the Cascade range from the Can
adian to the Mexican borders, wa3
expressed by the Oregon State Game
commission at its last monthly meet
ing. The commission voted to concur
resolutions previously adopted by
the Washington State Sportsmen's
council.
Creation of the proposed park
would remove control of all wildlife
in this area from state control and
according to the resolution the pro
posed action is another step in gov
ernmental encroachment upon state
rights.
Copies of the resolution are being
forwarded to Pacific coast members
of congress with the request that the
plan be fought vigorously.
