6-Heppner Gazette Times, Heppner, Oregon,
Heppner Battles Pendleton
In Tapping Interior Trade
From the "Daily" Heppner Ga-J
tette of June 6, 1891, we learn
some of the road problems con-1
fronting Grant county, and the
part played by Heppner and(
Pendleton in providinp. tianspor-i
tatlon outlets for that "inland j
republic." An unsigned corres-
pondence to the Gazette, dated:
Long Creek, June 6, has the lot
lowing to say:
The Pendleton and Long Creek
completed. The force of work
wagon road is being rapidly
men has reached the summit of
the North Fork mountain and is
proceeding down on Camas
creek. The fund appropriated
lor this purpose by the Pendle
ton merchants will be sufficient
to complete the thoroughfare to
the Middle Fork of the John Day.
From that point, with the ex
ception of only a short distance,
is a good road to Long Creek.
This exception is confined whol
ly to Flower's gulch, leading
from the Middle Fork, which is
a rough and rocky trail, and will
require the expenditure of some
little money to make it passable
at all seasons of the year. Pen
dleton, however, expects Long
Creek to raise the necessary bo
nus to warrant its completion.
but the pressure of hard times
makes this enterprise an up-hill
business.
Heppner has appropriated
money and constructed thorough
fares through the heart of Grant
county, and if Pendelton expects
to attract a reasonable portion
of our trade she must do the
same. This is an enterprise of
purely business nature. Grant
county wants available roads ra
diating in every direction, but
under the present circumstances,
she expects the benefited points
to raise the necessary funds.
Thus, it Is plainly seen, that if
Pendleton expects a paying por
tion of the Grant county trade,
she must not stop her construc
tion work at the county line, but
when she has tapped the heart
of our country, she will then
stand on an equal footing with
Heppner.
The Sumpter Valley Railroad
company, who are at present
constructing a branch line from
Baker City, are talking strongly
of extending a telegraph line to
Prairie City, John Day and other
towns of the county in order to
give Grant county merchants
and stockmen direct communi
cation with the main line. This
will add another jewel to the
crown of Grant county. The per
fection of any enterprise that
will enhance the value of our in
land republic and assist in the
development of the stock and

News From
C. A. Office
Did you know that every day
100 farm fires take the lives of
10 farmers ... that one farm fire
in 10 results in death?
Did you know that the total
loss this year will be about equal
to the value of every productive
acre and every farm building in
the state of Washington?
Did you know the farm fire
loss this vear would build 50,
000 $2,000".00 barns?
Did you know that forest fires
this year will burn over an area
as large as the state of New
York, destroying enough timber
to build 200,000 five-room hous
es? Did you know that the total
estimated loss threatens to ex
ceed $700 million, enough to
give every man, worfian and
child In the U. S. $5.00?
Did you know you can prevent
90 per cent of all these fires by
living sensibly... and being for
ever on the alert?
These are facts reported by the
National Fire Prevention Asso
ciation as Fire Prevention week,
October 5-11, proclaimed by Pres
ident Truman, was observed.
Act today to stamp out the
causes of fire on your farm.
It's up to you to protect your
selfyour family and your farm.
Fall is the best time to make
a good start for next year's home
garden.
Sanitation and weed control in
fall is worth while in all gar
dens. Clear away and burn all
seed-bearing weeds. As soon as
the plants die, or when frost
cuts them down, burn all plants
that have been injured by dis
eases and insects. If there has
been trouble with nematodes or
with fungus disease that lives
in the soil, fall is a good time
for treatment with appropriate
chemicals.
Winter care for gardens de
pends on climate and on the
son. winter covercrops are a val-
uable method of preventing
washing or erosion in winter
rains and of saving any plant
rood applied this season and not
used by the crops. When the
covercrop is turned under in
spring this plant food in the
green plants is released for use
again, and humus is added to
the soil
For many gardens, fall is the
best time for adding manure or
compost to improve the fertility
and physical condition of the
soil. Many heavy soils are im
proved by spading or plowing
in the fall, leaving the garden
rough to be broken down in win
ter freezing and thawing. A gar
den in which manure or compost
is turned under at this time is
likely to be a heavy absorber of
winter rain, so that erosion is
reduced accordingly.
Wheat is Uncle Sam's biggest
export crop in these days of
world food shortage. The Aeri
cultural Situation and Outlook
circular recently issued by the
UiC extension service states that
over half of the total tonnage of
iooa exported from the United
States in 1946-47 was wheat. So
strong was the demand for the
bread grain that the U. S. carried
over only 83 million bushels of
last year's supply as contrasted
with an average carryover of 235
million bushels for the 10 years
berore the war.
I This year's record wheat crop
j has replenished depleted re
I serves. With something like 1 12
! billion bushels on hand, the U.
S. could increase its use of wheat
for feed, export about as much
as last year, and still have a

A series of meetings for Ore

Mrs. Winifred (Jillen. asistant

Mrs. Jane Gibbs from the Sim

the featured speaker. She is a
former 4-H member employed by
the pattern company to give lec

The meeting for Eastern Ore

Peterson reports good rains in
that section recently.
normal carryover on next June
30.
The high prices now being
paid . for wheat, the circular
states, reflects the abnormally
high foreign and domestic de
mand for the crop, government
buying for export, and high pri
ces for corn and other grains.
These prices are substantially
above the price support level at
90 per cent of parity.
The wheat acreage in the Pa
cific Northwest for the past year
was 17 per cent larger than the
1935-39 average and 36 per cent
larger than the 1940-44 average.
The government is asking that
farmers plant heavily to wheat
again. Price support at not less
than 90 per cent of parity is to
continue through 1948.
The vaccine which the USDA
developed as a preventive of bo
vine brucellosis, or Bang's dis
ease, is a preventive but not a
cure. Dr. C. K. Mingle, a veter
inarian and research scientist of
the department's bureau of ani
mal industry, emphasized this
point at a meeting of the U. S.
Livestock Sanitary association
in Chicago a while back.
Dr. Mingle said that the ef
fectiveness of the vaccine in
building up resistance to the
disease in healthy animals has
led some persons to try it as a
remedy for cattle already Infest
ed. Reports of these instances
caused Dr. Mingle and his as
sociates at Beltsville, Maryland,
to run tests with a group of hei
fers in a herd near the station.
They found that giving the vac
cine to an animal that already
is infected with Bang's disease
has no appreciable effect on the
normal course of the disease.
Vaccination is not a cure for an
animaNthat already has Brucellosis.

"Yes, I love Portland but I
still have a very warm spot in
my heart for dear old Heppner,
where my family located in 1871
before there was really a town
there," said Mrs. Ida May Dut
ton of Portland when I interview
ed her recently.
"Most of my early-day friends
sleep in the cemetery there," she
continued. "When I was 12 years
old my mother thought I should
go to Salem to school. I lived
with my mother's brother and his
wife, Judge and Mrs. Rufus Mai
lory. I started school at the Old
Central school. Miss Powell was
the teacher. She handed me the
third reader and said, 'Read that
chapter.' It happened to be a
chapter that I had studied so I
rattled it off. Miss Powell said:
'You are young, but if you can
read like that I am going to
have you transferred to the East

Tragedy dogged many of the old
residents of Heppner. Ellis Mi
nor's son, Oscar, who with his
brother, Art Minor, had a big
cattle ranch there, was killed by
the accidental discharge of his
rifle while out deer hunting. Art
died recently.
"Yes, we lived on our ranch
near Heppner when the cloud
burst of June 11, 1903, almost
wiped Heppner off the map. The
flood swept across our ranch and
washed the foundation from un
der our big barn. The building
dropped on our wool clip which
was stored in the barn, but it
didn't damage it. More than 200
people were drowned. I lost a
number of good friends and
neighbors in that flood. When
my husband left his home in the
East, his mother gave him a Bi
