BISHOP BARTON COMING
Members of the congregation
have been advised by Bishop
Lane W. Barton that he will visit
Heppner Saturday and Sunday,
September 11 and 12, to meet
with the bishop's committee of
All Saints church and to hold
services on Sunday, Rev. Eric O,
Rohathan of Pendleton was
sched
uled to hold the services at
that time and will probably fill
In at another date before the new
vicar, Rev. Elvon Tull, arrives,
October 15. Bishop Barton has
been In London since the latter
part of June attending the Lam
beth conference and is en route
home. He also attended the first
World Council of Churches in ses
sion at Amsterdam, Holland.
START HOUSE ON HILL
Work on a new residence for
Mr. and Mrs. L. E. Dick was
starled the first of the week. The
site Is within the Barratt tract
on the hillside east of the Van
Horn residence. The foundation
will be laid at this time and
construction of the house proper
may be delayed a few months,
Some of the best hands in the
rodeo business are on hand and
signed up to participate in the
1948 Rodeo and with the Tucker
stock to provide the motivating
force, everything looks bright for
a highly successful and competi
tive exhibition.
Registered and rarin' for the
show to open are such well
known riders and all round cow
hands as Frank Mendes, Joe Ma
rion, J. B. McMeans, Gene Ram
bo, Jack Sherman, Jim Baine,
Chuck Sheppard, Dan Poore,
Barney Wilis and Cotton Rosser.
Sonny Tureman is expected' to
be on hand by show time, while
numerous local and neighboring
county iads have indicated a de
sire to participate.
From all accounts the Tucker
horses and cattle are meaner
than ever and it Is likely that
reports to this effect have reach
ed the boys who are working
their way up td the big competi
tion. Conquering these animals
is a bid to the championship
shows and a little practice here
this week won't hurt their chan
ces in their climb to the top of
Rodeo showdom.
The Rodeo arena is in excel
lent condition. A sprinkling sys
tem was installed about two
weeks ago and since that time
water has been played over the
field until it is well soaked, but
not muddy. Performers were
busy Wednesday trying out the
track and arena.
At 1:30 p. m. today the an
nouncer will call the first event
the big wild west pageant will
be off on its three-day run. Vis
itors to the fair and rodeo win
find their time well taken up
from the hour of 8 a. m. until 5
p. m. or later. In the evening the
Rodeo dances will provide en
tertainment for those who enjoy
that form of entertainment. Un
fortunately, the carnival sched
uled to appear here was unable
to make it and the youngsters
in particular will have to pro
vide their own amusement.
Random Thoughts..
ON BEING BURIED ALIVE
That is not a pleasant pros
pect or something calculated to
lull one into peaceful sleep, but
it all but happened at the Gaz
ette Times office the past week
or so. It was due to a series of
circumstances over which there
seemed to be no control. But we
are all alive and hope to be much
happier In the future.
To begin with, things were
dragging along In preparation for
the fair and rodeo. Printing or
ders were delayed because.thers
had a multiplicity of duties and ' know what their work the fol
could not prepare conv at an ' lowintr season wnulH he rf
car,ipr da,e- There were premium ;
books and different sets of blanks
ior the talr and then it was dis- idoned but no man living can put
covered that the souvenir pro-on the whole show himself and
grams had to be gotten up and I those expected to assist should
printed. All of this with about ! be assigned their tasks far en
three weeks left until show time, ough ahead to have time not
aooui tne time all of this broke i
the printshop casting box wenl
out of commission. A new ma
chine was odered. It cam elast
week and had to be installed.
Then word came that an auto
matic Job press ordered last No
vember was enroute to Heppner.
Preparations had to be made for
receiving this Important piece of
machinery. A concrete base was
poured, new wiring installed and
everything made ready for the
erecter to put the various and
sundry parts together. Howard
Keithley and his crew of work
men moved in on us last Thurs
day night when we were strug
gling to get the weekly edition
off the press. The crew was here
only a few hours but It made a
lot of activity in one small office.
In the meantime the printshop
force went ahead'with the sou
venir program and by Monday of
this week the presswork was
completed and the folding and
other finishing work got under
way. And then Monday evening
the new press arrived at the
front door aboard thp Braden
truck. A window had been re
moved by N. D. Bailev but that
was only the beginning. After
two or three hours of twisting,
Proving and grunting the small
but weighty machine rested up-
on me concrete base. By Tuesday
noon the window had . been re
placed and it is expected that
within the next two weeks the
)ld shop will settle down to nor
mal once more.
One blessing In disguise was
the arrival two weeks ago of Tom
Allen, old time as well as mod
ern printer and pressman, who
has operated about every type
of press used In the average pnn
lery. His knowledge of handling
machinery, even to unloading it
from a truck proved of great ben
efit in the ordeaf Monday eve
ning. Following somewhat in the
trail of the preceding paragraphs,

to Nelson Anderson, fair board

been reserved and Anderson said
there will be a fine showing of
4-H club and adult exhibitors'

corations in place and preparing

scheduled to be all set by 9 a. m.

4-H ACTIVITIES STRESSED
Since the 4-H club activities
play an important part in the
lair, special stress is being plac
ed upon this division by the fair
management. Each 4-H exhibit
or has been briefed on entries
and preparation of exhibits.
The program on opening day

Highlight of Fair
Prospective buyers are remind
ed that the 4-H fat auction sale
will be held at 7 p. m. Friday.
September 3 at the stock pavil
ion on tne iair grounds. While
.some local
they are interested, it is hoped
that there will be a good turnout
and some lively bidding for the
onenngs of the 4-H Beef club.
Several out-of-county buyers will
be on hand and both the beef
club members and their advisers
feel that the local buyers should
make it a point to keep this ex
cellent stuff at home, as far as
possible.
It is suggested that if individ
uals feel they can not pay the
prices it may be possible for
several to go together and make
the bids. The youngsters would
rather sell their animals here,
particularly those not exDeetinsr
to show their stock at other fairs.

Mayor Says Return
Made for Benefit
Of School People
Daylight saving time will go

sued by Mayor Conley Lanham
Tuesday morning following a

cil Monday evening. The change

would be called upon to give, for
school folk.
The matter of switching back
to standard time was not the
reason for calling the council to
gether Monday evening. Matters
pertaining to extension of the
water system to supply the hill
section on the east side of town
brought Ed Stockman, consult
ing engineer here to discuss the
situation with the city authori
ties. Stockman told the council that
to lay a 12-inch pipe line from
the new reservoir to an operating
level on the Barratt hill would
cost approximately $30,000. He
deemed this too expensive for
the probable service the line
would be caled upon to give, for
a good many yeas at least, and
offered the suggestion that the
present eight-inch line serving
the North Court district' could
be made to answer the purpose
by employing a booster pump.
The council concurred in this
opinion and any early develop
ment of the hillside addition will
be served in this manner.
Man Suffers Hip
Injury in Fracas
Jack H. Malloy, painter of La
Grande, suffered a fractured hip
Tuesday night as the result of
being hit and knocked to the
floor in O'Donnell's cafe. Malloy
was not engrossed in the melee
but merely attempting to stop
a bout between Russell O'Don
nell and William Baumgardner.
He was sitting on a stool at the
lunch counter when he was
struck a blow that unseated him
and knocked him to the floor.
He was examined by a local phy
sician and an x-ray revealed he
had suffered a fracture of the
hip bone. An ambulance was
called and he was taken to the
hospital at Pendleton.
Baumgardner and O'Donnell
became embroiled when the for
mer said something to Mrs. O'
Donnell which her son resented.
Maloy had previously tried to get
Baumgardner to leave the cafe.
Baumgardner and Malloy are
members of a paint crew, Malloy
being foreman of the outfit.
Officer Gordon O'Grady lodged
Baumgardner in jail on a charge
of disorderly conduct.
