COMMITTEE PUSHING PLANS
FOR RECREATION BUILDING
Another step towards realiza
tion of a civic building for Hepp
ner was taken early this week
when the committee in charge
of the project engaged an archi
tect to draw up plans for re
modeling the city-owned build
ing at the swimming pool site.
Expansion of the building is
desired by the committee in the
hope the architect will be able
tn meet this objective without
too great a cash outlay. Locker
rooms, a club room, and a dance
floor 30x60 feet is envisioned by
tie- committee, with the plans
not interfering with the use of
the building duripg the swim
ming season and at the same
time providing a year-round civ
ic center that can be made to
pay its way.
o
Riding Club Here
Object of Meeting
Set for Monday
Formation of a local riding
club is the objective of a meet
Ing to be held at the council
room in the city building at 8
o'clock p.m. Monday, March 31
C. C. Proebstel, president of the
Mustangers club at Pendleton,
will be here to discuss the mat
ter of organization with local
enthusiasts.
Heppner is about the only sad
die horse town In this part of
the globe without a trail riders'
organization and some of the en
thusiasts feel It is time "to get
on the boat."
An invitation has been extend
ed to all saddle horse owners
and others interested In getting
horses to attend this meeting
and learn what is required to
organize and carry on a trail
riders club.
Too Many Orvilles '
Getting New Planes;
Reporter Fouled Up
If the parties concerned had
not known which plane belong-i
ed to who, an account of the
new plane all ready here and
the one that was to come later
in the week as it appeaerd in
these columns last week might
have caused some misunder
standing.
Cause of all the misunder
standing on the part of the re
porter was too many Orvilles.
Orville Smith had just received
a new plane for the Heppner
Lumber company and Orville
Cutsforth was flying east with
Jack Forsythe and Ted Smith in
his Stinson to pick up another
Stinson and fly it back. The
Smith plane remained here un
til Saturday morning when Mr.
Smith took his family on a trip
to Portland, Seattle and other
Washington points over the
week end.
Cutsforth returned ahead of
Forsythe and Smith soloing all
the way. Forsythe, a licensed
pilot, was grounded east of the
Rockies dut to bad weather, but
Cutsforth flew blithely on and
arrived home without mishap.
o
Livestock Brings
Good Prices Here
Popularity of the Heppner
Sales yard is increasing, with
buyers coming from long dis
tances to bid on the livestock
offered here twice each month.
Prices are satisfactory to the
sellers, too, according to Harold
Erwin, yard manager, who cited
some figures to prove his con
tention.
At the March 6 sale, Ben An
derson, Eightmile farmer, sold
one Hereford cow at 20 cents a
pound. She weighed 1200 pounds
result, $240. Another cow sell
ing at 20 cents a pound brought
!iim $211; a third one weighing
1280 pounds sold at 15 34 cents,
totaling $201.60, and the fourth,
1450 pounds at 16.10 cents net
ted $233.45.
On March 20, Gordon McGough
sold a 1245 pound steer at 22
cents a pound, bringing $273.90.
At this sale the yard donated
a $20 pig which was auctioned
eight times bringing in $120 for
the Red Cross. The pig was all
dolled up in a blanket bearing
the Red Cross symbol on each
side and had a red bow of rib
bon around his neck and on his
tall.
Next sale at the yard will be
April 3.
Mrs. Emma Evans left Mon
day for 'Newport to spend sever

Snow Readings in
Blues Show Light
Fall During Winter
Snowfall in the Blue moun
tains south of Heppner has not
been heavy this season, as read
ings taken by the forest service
go to show. The snow course
on Jones prairie has been read
several times and the average
depth has been 9.12 Inches, with
a moisture content of 3.66 in-
i ches.
Kenneth Kleling and Louis
Gilliam made the 12th reading
on March 35 which produced the
average quoted above. The for
esters report the snow melting
rapidly with not much in evi
dence except in the higher rea
ches.
A change in the weather the
first of the week brought fresh
snow in the mountains, the
storm even extending well out
Ion the foothill slopes. Sunshine
and a general midday warm-up
soon dissipated the white man
tle but traces of the new blan
ket remain on the high ridges
and peaks.
