Volume 64, Number 17
Approach of Rodeo
Season Heralded
By Opening Dance
Jaycees Sponsor
First of Series at
Pavilion July 19
Schedule of dances for the
1917 Rodeo season:
July 19 "Frontier Frolics" at
Heppner.
Aug. 2 Lena Grange (at
Heppner).
Aug. 9 Lexington Grange.
Aug. 16 lihea Creek Grange.
Aug. 23 Willows Grange.
Aug. 30 Queen's Dance (at
(Heppner).
Sept. 4-5 6 Rodeo dances.
Queen Merlyn and attendants,
Rodeo officers and directors will
be introduced at the dance.
Fourth of July is out of the
way, we have had all the hail
storms we cure to think about,
and now comes the highlight of
the year the Heppner Rodeo
season.
Announcement of the event
which always heralds the Rodeo
season is made this week by the
Junior chamber of commerce
which has arranged a big open
ing dance under the pertinent
title of "Frontier Frolics." The
dance will be held Saturday eve
ning at the Fair pavilion under
Jaycoe sponsorship, with the
"Melodians" of John Day all
signed up to provide old-time
and modern music.
As the title suggests, this will
be a dress-up affair. Stephen
Thompson is in charge of this
feature and he urges all who
have cowboy or cowgirl regalia
to "doll up" and make this one
of the most colorful openings to
a Rodeo season. Failure to do
so may bring some surprises
along with the valuable door
prizes and prizes for best dressed
cowboy and cowgirl. Details of
what will happen are not forth
coming at this time but what
ever "Steve" and his committee
have in mind is not designed to
scare away any "dudes" who
would help usher in the 1917
Rodeo.
For the old-timers and those
willing to learn there will be a
sprinkling of old-time dances,
with some of the outstanding
"callers" of the country on hand.
Claude Buschke is again dance
director for the Rodeo and by
special arrangement all Hepp
ner dances will be sponsored by
the Junior chamber of com
merce, with any above average
proceeds going into the memor
ial recreation ctiler fund.
Particulars about the dance
will be found in the advertise
ment on another page of this
issue.
Curb Filling Job
To Start on Main
Work started Tuesday morn
ing at the Tum-A-Lum Lumber
company retail store preparing
the unfinished curb strip for
paving. The lone tree standing
in front of the office was re
moved and the dirt removed in
readiness for pouring concrete to
continue the sidewalk to the
curb. This job will complete
more than one-half of the block,
Inasmuch as the Richfield ser
vice station corner will require
but a few feet of the surfacing
and the balance is Included in
the Heppner Steam Laundry
frontage.
This will be only a start of the
program outlined a year or so
ago by the city council and
while there will be no move
made to force the other property
owners whose walks remain un
finished to go ahead with the
work, it is hoped they W'ill follow
suit.
O. M. Yeager has charge of
the Tum-A-Lum job atid he also
expects to bring the walk up to
level in front of his building
across the street from the lum
ber plant.

WHO HAS A RUG
TO CIVE AWAY?
The swimming tank is in need
of a piece of furnishing in the
way of a rug or piece of carpet
It doesn't need to be new, but it
should be good enough to stand
quite a bit of wear and tear.
If you have an old rug or car
pet that will serve this need you
will be adding greatly to the
comfort of swimming pool pa
trons and officials by donating
it for use In connection with the
pool. Notify Stanley Minor and
he will see that your gift is
properly received.

Storms such as have not been
seen in this area in years visited
the county the past week, leav
ing extensive crop damage in
their wake. Wind and hail, fol
lowed by heavy showers of rain
shattered wheat over an area
reaching from Rock creek to the
Columbia river.
The first storm hit this sec
tion mid-afternoon July 10. A
heavy cloud of dust passed over
Heppner, followed shortly by a
downpour of rain. In the higher
hills toward the southwest sec
tion of the county hail struck
with some violence, practically
wiping out the Lee Scrivner crop
and heavily damaging several
other fields in that vicinity. Al
most before the damage of the
first storm could be estimated, a
second and more ferocious storm
hit the west end, this time car
rying its destructive force across
the wheat belt of Dry Fork,
Gooseberry and lone areas, over
the sand belt to Boardman
where many of the fruit and
vegetable crops suffered heavy
damage. This was the Monday
storm which struck hard at Was
co, Sherman and Gilliam coun
ties on its way to Morrow county-
A corps of insurance adjusters
were out in the grain belt Wed
nesday and were continuing
their work today so that any
thing like accurate figures on
the losses sustained have not
been made available. First re
ports on Monday's storm made
the picture rather black, and
many fields were severely dam
aged, but more conservative es
timates have developed as time
for studying the conditious has'
been lengthened.
Gerald Peterson
Severely Burned
By Exploding Gas
Gerald Peterson, 15, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Oscar E. Peterson, was
severely burned about 7 o'clock
Saturday evening when a gaso
line drum exploded at the ranch
home south of lone.
The boy was attempting to re
move the top of the drum which
he planned to convert into a
shower tank, using an acetylene
torch. When the flame cut thru
the metal, gas fumes were igni
ted. The force of the explosion
blew both ends of the drum out,
the upper portion, where the
torch was being applied, striking
him in the face and knocking
him to the ground. His clothing
was on fire when his brother
Donald reached him. and the
flame from the explosion had
burned him about the neck and
face.
When a physician arrived it
was decided to place the boy in
a hospital. The ambulance was
called from Heppner and he was
rushed to Pendleton. Latest re
port from the hospital was that
Gerald was improving.
Commenting on the accident,
Dr. A. D. McMurdo said that one
should always remember to fill
an empty oil drum with water
before applying heat.
Mr. and Mrs. John Pfeiffer and
children, Julie Ann and John, of
Seattle will return to their home
in Seattle Friday after visiting
several days at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Orville Smith. Mr.
Pfeiffor is Mrs. Smith's brother.
Damage
Farms of
Many of the crops affected
were covered with hail or other
crop insurance and this will
minimize the financial loss to
some extent. It is reported that
tome of the larger grainraisers
were without hail insurance anJ
their losses will be heavy. Some
c.f the farmers coming to town
to interview their insurance ag
ents Tuesday morning stated
they had nothing left to cut.
Others had gotten a good stait
cn their cutting and the Monday
storm ended their harvest activ
iiies. A list of farmers turning in
c laims to local insurance agen
cies included John Bergstrom,
Floyd Worden, Clarence Warren,
Carl F. Bergstrom, Vic Lovgren,
A. A. McCabe. McCahp Hms
Holmes Gabbert, Al Bergstrom,

Brace, Clive Huston, Harley An
derson, Lee Scrivner, Ben Ander
son, Burl Akers, Henry Baker,
Claud Huston, R. D. Allstott.
Louis Bergevin, one of the
hardest hit, is reported to have
been without insurance. Art
Stefani's fields both south and
north of lone suffered heavy
damage. Clarence Warren re
ported heavy damage to 1200 ac
res and Charles McElligott's 1700
acres were listed as practically
a total loss. Clyde Davis lost
two fields and had between 25
and 50 acres of a third field un
touched. (Some of these reports
may be changed one way or the
other when the adjusters turn in
their estimates.)
Golf Enthusiasts
Planning Course
A few golf enthusiasts, yearn
ing for a good old round of "Pas
ture pool," have been investigat
ing the possibility of building a
course in the mountains about
20 miles from Heppner. The spot
unde. consideration is the Mc
Caleb meadow in holdings of the
Heppner Lumber company.
The course, if built, will pos
sibly not contain more than sev

v -Y
M . - f
In lieu of an eyewitness account of the accident which cost
the life of Gladwin Hudson last Thursday, members of the forest
service reconstructed the story and took pictures to show how it
happened. It is believed that the motor stalled as the car was
rounding a steep grade near the summit of Ant Hill and that
Gladwin wan hackinq the car. Intent upon what he was doing he
was unaware of the danger of a falling tree. The tree, a Douglas
fir, was 84 feet In length, 18 inches In diameter at the butt and
tapered down to about three Inches at the point which struck the
youth. The fact that the car door was open and no serious dam
age was done to the car indicates that the youth was leaning out
to see the road as he backed the car down the grade. The blow
from the limb struck the back of his head on the left side.

Heppner took a high scoring
contest from Hermiston there
last Sunday, winning 15-7. Mc
Curdy pitched seven innings of
good ball, allowing four hits and
striking out 11 batters. Broad
foot finished the game, allow
ing three hits and striking out
two men.
With a record of 18 hits, the
Heppner lads were really "on
the ball" Sunday. Hoyt made it
four out of six; Boland three out
of four, one his second home
run of the season; Singer got
three out of five, Broadfoot two
out of four. The other hits were
scattered among the rest of the
players.
Hermiston's hitters for the day
were Cellers, who clouted a
home run; Schoonover, two out
of four, and Michidis two out of
four.
Heppner batters took a heavy
tell of hits on Cellers, garnering
14 in eight innings. The Her
miston moundsman struck out
none.
This was Heppner's sixth vic
tory in a row. The boys are
hoping to keep up the winning
streak Sunday.
