Season With Close
Margin Over Moro
Single Touchdown
By Rippee .Marks
Hard Fought Game
Heppner High school's Mustang
football team closed the 1946 sea
son by scoring lone touchdown
victory over the strong Moro high
school team. Lowell Rippee, fleet
Mustang quarterback, made an off
tackle run in the third quarter
which put him across the goal line.
Try for conversion was blocked.
Moro outgained the Mustangs but
three bad passes put the Sherman
lads behind the S-ball.
It was a hard-fought game thru
out and while there were penalties,
no meanness was exhibited just
too much aggressiveness.

Assessor Clears
Some Points on
Land Valuations
Confusion exists in the minds of
land owners over classifications un
der which the assessor's office sets
up the tax rolls. To clear this the
office has prepared the following
article;
Upon the books of the Morrow
county assessor's office all of the
land outside of the city limits are
classed as acreage. This acreage is
divided Into five different classes
for assessment
The first group includes the tim
ber land and timber land that has
been logged off. Each is assessed
at so much an acre, so if you pos
sess timber land that has been log
ged off and you have not notified
the assessor, you are still paying
for timber land.
The second group consists of cul
tivated, crested wheat grass and
non-tillable land. Each of these
groups is assessed at a different
price per acre and according to lo
cation in the county.
The third group is the irrigated
land and is assessed at so much an
acre all over the county except on
the irrigation projects on the Col
umbia river.
A few years ago an aerial survey
was made of most of the farming
districts of the county. Aerial pho
tos of this survey are in the county
agent's office and the assessors of'
fice and all acreages of the county
are being checked against them.
The lists of acreage as turned in to
the county agent in AAA work are
also available to the assessor to
check against the aerial photos. In
this manner the assessor is trying
to get an accurate count of the
cultivated acres In Morrow county
In the past few months there
have been a good many acres of
new land plowed up in the county
and we are very anxious to get
Ih re on th? lecords in the propel
re 'i: ni. To do this requires the co
cpr.. ii n if all farmers In the
county who have plowed up new
land.
Manv farmers have torn down
old sheds and other improvement
on their places and they still stand
as assessed buildings on the tax
rolls if you have not notified the
assessor of their removal. Other
have put up new buildings on their
Dlnces and every effort is made ay
the assessor to catch these for the
tax roll but some mistakes occur so
it is .best that each person report
the changes In improvements on
his own land,
After reading the above explan
ation each land owner in Morrow
county should make a special point
of trip to the assessor's office In
the court house before January l
1047. By doing this he will know
that his land and Improvements ap
pear on the tax roll In proper form,
News From
C. A. Office
The AAA office reminds our far
mers that as long as the weather
permits there is still possibility of
getting additional cons e r v a t i o n
practices carried out. It now ap
pears that there will be funds to
pay 100 percent of all practices per
formed in 1946.
Among the conservation practices
that can still be carried out this
fall, there is the application of
sulphur on alkaline land, reorgan
ization of farm irrigation system,
seeding or reseeding to permanent
pastures and weed control by use
of chemicals.
A new supply of the Oregon farm
account book has been received at
the county agent's office, and are
ready for distribution now. The
record book was prepared by the
farm management department at
Oregon State college and is design
ed to simplify the job of keeping
an accurate account of all farm
business. It permits making out
income tax returns on the actual
basis and also supplies information
that makes it possible to study
strong and weak points of the farm
business.
Many Morrow county farmers us
ed the Oregon account book last
year, and report that this book is
very simple and easy to use.
The book includes inventory
forms, production records, farm re
ceipts, farm expenses, and space
for additional records if the opera
tor wishes to keep them.
Also available at the county ag
ent's office is the Oregon cash farm
record book. It contains only rec
ords required for computing income
tax returns on the cash basis and
does not provide complete inven
tory forms.
A small charge is made for the
books to cover the cost of printing.
Present income tax laws, both
state and federal, require most far
mers to file returns. An accurate
set of farm records is necessary as
the basis for an accurate tax re
turn, and now is the time to get
the right start on next year's rec
ords with a good account book.
Wheat nursery plots, for the pur
pose of comparing leading estab
lished varieties and promising new
varieties, have been seeded again
this fall. Morrow county nurseries
have been seeded at the Werner
Rietmann farm north of one, the
Frank Anderson farm near Eight
Mile, and on the Archie Munkers
farm on Heppner flat Varieties will
be compared and yields computed
under the three diflerent farming
and moisture conditions. Varieties
seeded were Rip, Rex, several cross
selections of these two, Rex Ml, Or-
fed, Kharkof, Federation, Elgin,
several Alicel crosses, Golden, Trip
let and Forty-fold.
We suggest that farmers interest
ed in the development of new wheat
varieties watch these nurseries and
make comparisons during the grow
ing season.
Former Gilliam
County Ranchers
Settle in Heppner
Mr. and Mrs. John J. Monahan f
among the newer residents of;"" -''"By
Heppner, having recently purchas
ed the residence property built by
Mr. and Mrs. Joe Snyder on north
Court street to which they moved
about two weeks ago. They sold
their ranch holdings near Mikkalo
in Gilliam county to Dick Reed of
that place.
The Monahans are old-time res
idents of Gilliam county. Mr. Mon
ahan came to Oregon in the early
part of the century, settling in Mor
row county where he remained tor
several years before moving to the
Condon vicinity where he rented a
farm from J. E. Downer. After a
short time he bought the Downer
property. That was in 1907. The
holdings were extended from time
to time and he engaged in both
livestock and grain raising. He was
actively engaged in the sheep bus
iness until 1941 when he sold all his
sheep and increased the number of
cattle on his range.
In leaving Gilliam county the
Monahans are not unmindful of the
many kind acta of their neighbors
and friends and the pleasant asso

past 40 years with the people of
Condon and vicinity,
Public Utilities Pay Almost

Citizens Complain
lo Governor About
Electric Service
Five prominent citizens of Hepp
ner forwarded a telegram to Gover
nor Earl Snell last Friday asking
for an investigation of the light and
power service ui Heppner and
neighboring territory. That tele
gram, signed by H. A. Cohn, P. W.
Mahoney, J. O. Turner, Conley Lan
ham and D. A. Wilson, reads as
follows:
"Hon. Earl Snell, Salem, Oregon:
"Service furnished by. Pacific
Power and ht company to Hepp-
j is at present inadequate for domes.
lie use as weu as cosuy to uiuusiriai
firms. This class of service pre
dates war time necessities. Com
munity would appreciate investiga
tion through proper state agency."
Don Fleck, local manager of the
power company, made a definite
explanation at the chamber og com
merce luncheon and a statement
from him will be found in another
column of this issue of the Gazette
Times.
Theresy E. Waid
Dies at Pendleton
Mrs. Theresy E. Waid, 86, of Stan
field, passed away Wednesday, Nov
20. in a Pendleton hospital after a
few days' illness with pneumonia.
Funeral services will be held at 2
o'clock p.m., Friday, Nov. 22, at
Stanfield.
Mrs. Waid is survived by four
children, Lenna Waid, Stanfield;
Mrs. Lulu White, Pilot Rock; Mrs.
Amanda Duvall, Heppner, and Ver
non Waid, Portland; and five
grandsons, one granddaughter and
three great grandchildren.
Added to the railroad's $104,466.87
are the Pacific Telephone & Tele
graph company's $8,435.71; the Pa
cific Power & Light company's $4,-
889.4!); the Western Union s $1,270.
02, and the Pacific Fruit Express
company s $1,045.60.
A summary of figures was not
obtained of corporations other than
public utilities operating within the
county, such as the lumber com
panies, oil plants and warehouse
concerns. These would add a com'
fortable sum to the total paid by
organized groups and substantially
reduce the burden of county gov

Power Company Spending
$130,000 on Sherman Power
Installation of a number of capa
citors here recently marked the
first step in a building program
which will see more than $130,000
spent by Pacific Power & light
company on its Sherman power
system, Don Fleck, local manager
for the company, announced today.
The Sherman system runs from
Heppner to Dufur, serving rich
wheat-growing areas in Morrow,
Gilliam, Sherman and Wasco coun
ties. Installation of the capacitors here
Exploding Stove
Starts Basement
Fire at Bakery
An exploding oil stove in the
basement of the Heppner Bakery
building caused a lot of smoke
damage and some scorching of ma
terials stored nearby early Wed
nesday morning. A congested flue
caused the trouble and the thick
smoke and soot made it difficult for
the fire department to subdue the
fire.
Actual fire damage was small but
the proprietors, Aalberg & Wiren,
found it necessary to remain closed
Wednesday while the bakery was
aired out and the smudge was
cleaned up. Considerable water
had to be used and this was the
principal damage cause.
The bakery opened for business
as usual this morning.
Quackenbush Buys
Van Horn Interest
InR&W Grocery
A deal was consummated Satur
day whereby Roy Quackenbush be
comes the sole owner of the Red
and White grocery store. Quacken
bush bought the one-half interest
of Harry Van Horn and will become
sole operator as of December 1. Van
Horn owns the building in which
the store is located and will retain
it with the objective of making it
a more profitable investment by
fitting up two apartments at the
rear and over the warehouse space
used by the store.
Quackenbush and Van Horn
formed a partnership in the fall of
1942 and took over the Red and
White grocery from M. D. Clark.
Some alterations were made to the
store plant to make it a mora of
a help-yourself market. They have
enjoyed a good business. Van Horn
was operating a bakery wagon out
of Arlington prior to coming here
and was well acquainted with local
conditions before making a business
venture. Quackenbush got his gro-
cery and market schooling in the
Safeway store during the years it
operated here.
Van Horn stated he made no im
mediate plans further than putting
in the apartments. He bought the
residence property of Mrs. Cyrene
Barratt on north Court street last
summer, which, with the business
building makes him an extensive
property holder here.
Roving Editor Pays
Visit to Heppner
A. W. Nelson, roving reporter for
the Walla Walla Union-Bulletin,
was a Heppner visitor the fore part
of the week. He spent tw days
here picking up imVmalio.i for fu
ture articles to appear in the Bul
letin, including snapshots of 'ocal
citizens. "Nellie," as he is famil
iarly known over a widj area, is
deeply interested in the geography
and history of this region and has
conducted a considerable research
along tluse lines.
Nelson and the G-T editor first
met in LaGrande in 1916. He was
city editor of the Evening Observer
and yours truly worked in the job
department
Accompanying Nelson to Hepp
ner was Nelson Bartholomew, for
mer resident here but now con
ducting an office supply business
of his own in Wulla Walla. Bart
worked in the circulation depart
ment of the Union-Bulletin for
some time prior to engaging in bus
iness for himself.
EXAMINER COMING
A drivers license examiner is
scheduled to be on duty between
the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.,
Tuesday, Nov. 26, at the courthouse
in Heppner. Persons wishing ll
censes or pemits to drive are asked
to get in touch with the examiner
well ahead of the scheduled closing
hour in order to assure completion
of their application with a mini
mum of delay.

System to Improve Service
was a temporary measure pending
construction of a new 22,000-volt
transmission line to lone, Fleck said.
Surveys for the 18 miles of heavier
line, which will replace the present
11,000-volt circuit, have been com
pleted but actual construction de
pends on availability of electrical
materials. An acute nation-wide
shortage still exists in these items.
The program also calls for exten
sive improvements and additions
at the Dufur substation, from
which the Sherman system is fed,
Onion Seed Planted
By Roy Neill Still
Producing Results
It's funny what a little profes
sional jealousy will produce for the
editor. Remember those onions of
Roy Neill's we wrote about along
in the early fall? Then the Frank
Rumble and Frank Parker pota
toes? Now comes a different veg
etable but of the same high order
as the foregoing. The subject this
time is carrots.
Not to be outdone by his neigh
bors along down Willow creek, Alex
Gieen brought in th-ce family fire
carrots the other day. They were
grown pretty close to Roy Neill's
onion patch and Frank Rumble's
spud patch. When Alex dug up
the carrot patch the other day he
says to hi.-nrelf, "These ale just as
f:ne specimens of carrots as those
onions and potatoes the editor
wrote about, so I think I'll just
show him what can be grown in the
Green garden." He picked out
three of the smoother ones (they
were all of extraoidinary size) and
brought uVm to the G-T office.
Out of curiosity we weighed ihem
and the three tipped the scabs at
5 pounds. That is not a world
record or anything of that sort, but
the carrots are of fine texture,
sweet and toothsome. One cf them
prepared like candied sweet potato
was just as tasty and made gen
erous servings for four people.
This is one more evidence of the
superior quality of Morrow county
vegetables.

School Athletics
Enliven Luncheon
Hour Discussion
Whether or not the chamber of
commerce should sponsor school
athletics either directly or by back
ing an organization specially set
up for that purpose elicited consid
erable comment at the regular lun
cheon meeting Monday noon at the
Lucas Place.
Discussion started when a report
was made on activity of the high
school football team in raising
funds by popular subscription to
send the entire squad to Corvallis
to witness the annual clash between
Oregon State college and the Uni
versity of Oregon the coming Sat
urday. After presenting viewpoints
pro and con, and not fully condon
ing the action of the students, the
group voted to subscribe $50 of
club funds to the cause, which
practically assured the trip.
It was recognized that an organ
ized adult group should take some
initiative in helping the young
folks with their problems, such as
closing for games and helping to
stimulate attendance. The question
leit unsolved was whether or not
the chamber of commerce should
take the lead and be such an organ
ization or should sponsor another
organization for that purpose.
It is understood the football boys
were successful in raising the nec
essary funds but being unable to
get tickets for the OSC-Oregon
game will try to make the OSC
Washington game at the Multno
mah stadium next week.

SAY IT WITH FLOWERS
By Mrs. Ralph Thompson
As this is the first Christmas for
Morrow county to sponsor in Ward
7, Veterans Hospital, let us make
it a beautiful one. Many of these
patients will not live to see another
Christmas.
We will need holly and cedar
wreaths, small Christmas trees for
the single bed wards and poinset-
tias lots of them as we have four
large wards and 14 small ones. If
you want to help us please leave
your donation with May Gilliam or
Fay Bucknum at the Flower Shop
or mail it to Mrs. Ralph Thompson.
Your name will be on each gift.
That pleases the patients as it
makes it more personal. Orders for
(lowers and wreaths must be plac
ed at once so please help promptly.
Our funds, we hope will carry us
through until June 1, 1947, but not
unless you help provide this Christ
mas cheer. The words "Morrow
County" bring big smiles and ap
preciative words of thanks from
these veterans. Let us keep on un
til some other means is provided
to carry on our program.
P. S. Remember the veterans in
Walla Walla hospital are T.B. cases
from Oregon, Washington, Idaho
and Montana.
New Mill Produces
Timbers for W. C.
Rosewall Building
Framework for the addition to
the Rosewall building is up and
workmen are preparing to enclose
the structure. There remains some
foundation work to be done on the
south side and this will be done in
a few days, according to Howard
Keithley, supervisor of the con
struction work.
Timbers for the framework were
sawed out by the Big Four Lumber
company, the mill recently installed
on the east fork of Willow creek
by the Broadfoot brothers. It was
a rush order, with little time to
search the woods for select trees.
but satisfactory results were ob
tained.
The Schwarz building at Court
and May is at a temporary stand'
still. The foundation work has been
completed.
The front of the Tum-A-Lura
building was plastered the past
week and the interior of the office
and display room is being rushed
to completion. The general effect of
the improvement is pleasing to the
eye and will greatly facilitate the
handling of lines the company will
ieature.
The Farra building also received
a coat of plaster this week.
Materials Arriving
For Construction
Of Rural Lines
Material for construction of the
Columbia Basin Electric Coopera
tive's farm service line in Morrow
and Gilliam counties is beginning
to arrive, it was announced this
week by A. A. Scouten, manager of
the headquarters office in Heppner.
Not all materials needed in con
struction of the lines are represent
ed in shipments received, but a
start has been made and it is ex
pected that everything will be on
hand so that work can begin by
June 1, 1947.
Included in lots received so far
are poles, cross arms and other pole
fixtures but no copper wire as yet.
The local Rural Electrification
Administration unit will draw its
juice" from Bonneville via the
Umatilla Electric Cooperative until
such time as Bonneville is granted
funds by congress to build a new
substation directly connecting the
Columbia Basin project with the
high line. Two sites are under con
templation for the substation. One
is southwest of lone, the other
northeast of Condon.
The Columbia Basin Electric Co
operative will have a total of 409
miles of lines in the two counties
when the new service is completely
installed and it is contemplated that
most of the farm districts of the
area will be able to enjoy electric
power.

Tentative Plans
For Hospital lo
Be Shown Soon
Portland Firm to
Submit Preliminary
Draft in December
A direct step leading to ultimate
construction of the Morrow county
general hospital was taken here
Friday when the county court en
gaged the services of a Portland
architectural firm to draw up ten
tative -plans to be submitted some
time in December. Here to consult
with the court and Ralph Thomp
son, representing the hospital com
mittee, was Elmer G. Harrington
of the firm of Roald, Schmee,- 6c
Harrington, Portland. All members
of the county court, Judge Bert
Johnson and Commissioners J. G.
Barratt and L. D. Neill, were pre
sent to confer with Harrington.
The group went over the hospital
site and Harrington was given a
contour plat to work with in his
firm's office in Portland.
A 25-bed hosital was tentatively
decided upon, the building to be so
constructed as to permit additional
wings should increased capacity be
come necessary. The site is suffi
ciently large to accommodate en
largement and the plans will em
brace future changes.
The architect was instructed to
draw the plans to conform to re
quisites of the Hill-Barton Bill re
cently passed by congress. This bill
provides for a grant by the federal
government up to 33 13 percent
of the cost of certain types of hos
pitals and Harrington expressed the
belief that the local hospital will
come under the provisions set out
If this is true it will be possible for
the county to obtain full value for
its $100,000 or so put into the build
ing, it being estimated that present
costs run approximately 33 13 per
cent above normal.
Some grades of lumber ire a lit
tle lower at present while other
grades are somewhat higher, it was
pointed out. At present rough lum
ber is down a little but finished
lumber is higher. Harrington stat
ed that builders look for an in
crease in lumber prices by the end
of 1947.
Roald, Schmeer & Harrington
have several other hospital con
tracts at the present time and the
hospital committee feels fortunate
in securing the services of a com
pany experienced in this particular
type of designing. The firm has
some hospital projects which have
come under the Hill-Burton act and
has a working knowledge of he
methods of obtaining this federal
assistance.
It is hoped to get preliminaries
out of the way during the winter
so that the way will be cleared for
starting construction when favor
able weather arrives.

For Drink Habit
Fifty days in jail and a fine of
$100 and costs was the sentence im
posed by Justice J. O. Haf,er cn
John Joseph ' Jackie" Dund.is when
the latter appeared before him Fri
day on a chai ge of bein intoxi
cated in a public place. Dundjs had
been "siwashed" but a pal s.iw to
it that he didn't have to ride the
water wagon unless he wanted to.
Dundas paid the fine and costs and
the justice suspended the jail sen
tence with the proviso that he leave
town and go to work.
Justice Hager stated that he be
lieves there is no point in letting
violations of this nature puss with
a light sentence. The maximum
sentence is 50 days and $100 and
costs and he believes a few duses
of this kind will have a growing
tendency to curb the drink habit.
