Official Paper for Morrow County
An Important Road
COR many years Morrow county
has had a large body of merch
antable pine timber, millions of dol
lars in value of which has been lost
through natural causes-fire, bee
tles, the natural life cycle. Aside
from a few small operations, only
a small percentage of the timber
ready for harvest has been logged
and cut into lumber.
It is only in the last few years that
large mill operations have become
interested in cropping the timber,
as reflected in recent large pur
chases. Through some of these pur
chases millions of feet of fine saw
logs are destined to be cut outside
the confines of Morrow county.
Little knowledge of the sawmill
industry is required to know the
economic value to the community
and to the county of a tree, ready
for harvest, cut into lumber as
against its standing in the forests
as a prey to the elements. The am
ount of tax received on the standing
tree is a small fraction of sum real
ized from expenditure of payrolls
from woods and mill operations.
Heppner, and Morrow countv. has
been fortunate in the establishment
here of a reputable milling opera
tion, 80 percent of the payroll from
which, in both logging and mill
ends, is spent within the county.
Economists estimate that every dol
lar spent in a community turns over
McCurdy-Gilman
Vows Said at lone
The wedding of Miss Jean Maxine
McCurdy, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
H. D. McCurdy and 1941 queen of
the Pendleton Round-Up, and Leo
nard Walter Gilman, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Walter Gilman of Heppner, was
solemnized at a simple ceremony at
the home of the bride's grandmother,
Mrs. Ella Davidson, at lone at 10
o'clock Tuesday morning, Septem
ber 16.
The bride, given in marriage by
her father, was lovely in a moire
taffeta gown with fitted bodice and
boufant skirt with fingertip veil held
in place about her head by a halo
of orange blossoms. Her bouquet
was an old fashioned nosegay of
white carnations and pink rosebuds
with silver streamers.
The ceremony was performed on
ten times in the community before
finally leaving. Each time the dol
lar revolves it creates an additional
value in taxable wealth. This new
taxable wealth relieves existing
wealth all over the county in car
rying the burden of governmental
cost
How much then, is the county
justified in encouraging such n in
dustry?
The local mill recently purchased
a body of timber, which, in addition
to present holdings, will assure a
ten to fifteen year operation in
Heppner. This timber is adjacent
to the Willow creek road, but in
order to reach that road the opera
tors themselves must build fifteen
miles of road. The Willow creek
road itself is not in condition for the
economical hauling of logs, and the
mill operators have asked that as
much work as possible be done on
the road next year.
We have wheat harvests, lamb
sales and wool clips every year, and
these interests have been served
with good roads so far as possible.
The timber harvest, now starting,
has been long in coming. Added to
established industries, it will mean
more prosperity, more taxable
wealth; and added to other demands
for improvement of the Willow
creek road, it makes a convincing
case.

You're in for the surprise of your life when
you see and drive the John Deere Model "H"
the sensational new small tractor that handles
two-row equipment and completely replaces
animal power on small and large farms every
where, cutting costs 'way below their former
level, and making farming more profitable.
And when you learn the price, you'll wonder
how John Deere can give you so much in a tractor
that sells for so little.
In addition, the Model "II" not only burns low
cost fuel but it uses only 13 to 12 as much fuel
on the many jobs within its power range, as would
larger tractors handling the same load.
Come in, see it, and gel "the surprise of your
life."

the twenty-fourth wedding anniver
sary of Mr. and Mrs. McCurdy in

a costume of brown with beige ac- j
cessories.
ine marriage culminates a ro
mance which began while the young
people were still in high school, and
continued through their college
years at Pacific university, where
both were very prominent in cam
pus affairs. Mrs. Gilman gained
many honors while in school, and is
a member of Theta Nu Alpha.
Mr. Gilman, an Alpha Beta and
star left halfback on the college

Jefferson Evans, 83
Passes at Walla Walla
Jefferson Evans who at one time
homesteaded the south portion of
Freewater died at Walla Walla
Saturday evening after a lingering
illness. Funeral services were held
from the Cookerly & Groseclose

Milton in 1875 when 18 year of age,
and moved to Lexington in 1883
where he farmed until 1919. He
then moved to Walla Walla where
he had since lived. His late home
was with a sister on East Pleasant
street. Surviving besides the bro
ther, Marion, here are two sisters,
in-law, Mrs. Fred Evans of Free
water and Mrs. Frank Evans of
Walla Walla, also several nieces and
nephews.
Orville Cutsforth completed the
planting of a field of wheat two
weeks ago, and it is now through the
ground and growing rapidly.
Clifford Daugherty, in the city
Monday from his north Lexington
wheat farming operations, was well
pleased with the season's results.
Lester Taylor and Norval Osburn
have gone to Bremerton, Wash.,
where they have employment.
I Telephone System
Contributes to Defense
i A saving of more than five mil
lion pounds of metals vital to de-
fense needs, including enough alu
! minum to build more than 275 fight
er planes, is being effected by the
j Bell system this year through a ma
! terials substitution program, accord
j ing to word received by Miss Effie
I Andrews, telephone manager here.
Made possible through long range
planning, research, and readjust
ments in manufacturing, the substi
tuting of materials in 1941 will di
vert for use in defense work nearly
1,700,000 pounds of aluminum, al
most a third of a million pounds of
nickel, well over three million
pounds of zinc and 8,300 pounds of
magnesium. Additional reductions
are foreseen for 1942.
The Western Electric company,
manufacturing arm of the system,
now saves 65 tons of aluminum an
nually by replacing aluminum with
steel in the "finger wheel" on dial
telephones. This is only one of
many items of telephone equipment
in which aluminum is being re
placed by other materials. The to
tal saving of aluminum is enough to
build more than 275 military planes
other than bombers, or half as many
bombers, in accordance with the es
timate of the aeronautical Chamber
of Commerce of America that the
average non-bomber requires 3 tons
and the average bamber 6 tons.
