Robert C. Owens
Dies In Seattle
Monday Morning
Funeral Services
Held Wednesday
For Business Man
Death came at 7 o'clock Mon
day morning to Robert C. Owens,
young Heppner busness man, fol
lowing a lingering Illness. The
end came at a Seattle hospital to
which he was taken a week ago
in the hope that some improve
ment in his condition might be
realized.
Funeral services were held at 3
p.m. Wednesday at the Home Un
dertaking parlor in Seattle, with
interment in Lake View cemetery
there.
Mr. Owens was born at Pesh
astin, Wash., and was a graduate
of Wenatchee high school and of
Wenatchee Business college. Be
fore coming to Heppner he work
ed as an accountant in Water
vllle and Olympia. After coming
here he worked as bookkeeper
for the Morrow County Grain
Growers, Inc., at the head office
In Lexington, and late In 1947
bought the Marshall-Wells hard
ware store In Heppner.
As a resident of the town he
was active in church and civic
work, being a lifelong member
of the Methodist church, and
holding memberships in both the
Junior and Senior chambers of
commerce. Always eager to do his
part, Mr. Owens seldom permit
ted his physical condition to In
terfere with a committee assign
ment or other activity, and his
service to the organizations and
to the community will be sorely
missed.
In memory of his service as
superintendent of the Sunday
school and church, a special
memorial service is being plan
ned for the church school hour
Snuday morning at the Method
ist church.
Mr. Owens was married In 1910
to Lucille Moyer of Heppner, who,
with his mother, Mrs. A. W. Dye
of Seattle; one brother, Russell,
of Bremerton, and one sister, El
eanor of Seattle, survive.
Community Urged
To Attend Braden
Festivities on 15th
People of the community and
county have been extended a cor
dial Invitation to be the guests
of the Braden Tractor & Equip
ment company in Heppner for a
full day of entertainment on Tu
esday, February 15. And the best
part of it is that everything will
be free free shows, free eats
free advice, etc.
Robert Grabill, local manager,
has arranged the following pro
gram for "John Deere Day":
Open house registration 10 a.
m'. till noon.
Free lunch in Braden Tractor
store, 12 noon.
Show starts at Star theater at
1:30.
In connection with the short
subject - pictures, Grabill says
Many of them were taken of local
operations In the Pendleton-Walla
Walla districts. ,
Grabill reports that some of the
John Deere day events scheduled
in northern Washignton centers
have been cancelled by the wea
ther and he is hoping that such
will not be the case here. He has
thought of cancelling unless snow
or mud conditions make it Im
possible for people In outlying
districts to get to town, and since
this hardly seems likely he says
the show will go on as schedul
ed. "What we want Is a good at
tendance," Grabill stated. "Town
and country people alike are In
vited and the more the better,"
he continued. "Since much of the
John Deere equipment is design
ed for use In rehabilitating graz
ing lands, we are anxious that
stoekmen and their families be
guests as well as those repre
senting the grain raising branch
of agriculture In the county," he
concluded.

Random Thoughts...
Few of us, perhaps, fully ap
preciate how well off we have
been throughout the long winter
which at this writing appears to
be subsiding. This particular sec
tion has experienced some incon
veniences, some scheduled events
have been canceled, and fuel bills
have been upped beyond normal
expectancy, but compared with
some other sections of the coun
try, and even here In Oregon, we
have not fared badly. We must
not be unmindful of the fact that
it is still winter time and that
anything can happen between
now and Decoration day, but we
are mighty thankful to see the
snow disappearing and a little
rain falling. It makes us think
that things haven't gone to pot
and that there may be, after all,
a little silver lining to the clouds
that moved in on a gale Sunday
morning and deposited a blan
ket of some two and one-half in
ches of the beautiful In less than
an hour's time.
It is with pleasure that the
Gazette Times welcomes Mrs.
Millie Wilson to the corps of cor
respondents. Her first Monument
items will be found elsewhere in
this issue. It will be just as well
to keep an eye on Monument the
next few years and we are hnrmv
to establish this contact with that
district. There was a time when
Heppner was the distributing
more closely connected. That was
In the days when the stage line
ran from here to Canyon City.
Reppner was the distributing
point for quite a large territory
to the south and mail contracts
prevailed between here and Can
yon. This contact can be re-established,
and will be when a more
direct road is built from the
mouth of Chapln creek to Monu
ment. In the meantime, much of
the lumber produced in the mills
centering about Monument will
be brought here for drying In the
kiln of the Heppner Lumber com
pany and in due time stronger
ties between the two communi
ties will be welded.
Mrs. Wilson's column will be
watched with interest as she lolls
of the progress of her commun
ity.
Occasionally the writer thinks
comment has been made on some
particular happening or subject,
when a perusal of the previous
Issue of the paper discloses that
he was laboring under a false
Impression. That, In a measure,
a counts for missing items from
time to time. Such a case In
mind at this time was the failure
to say anything about Harold Er
win's talk to the chamber of com
merce on January 31. Erwin has
been one of the prime movers In
the effort to get a more effective
and comprehensive state brand
law . He and Eb Hughes and
some of the other stockmen here
abouts came up with some good
points on the existing law at the
planning conference a year ago
and since that time have visited
other important stock centers to
get the viewpoints of stockmen
and found most of them in ac
cord with their ideas. Some oppo
sition developed earlier In the
year from quarters not interested
In stockralsing In the same man
ner or on the same scale as the
typical eastern Oregon cattleman,
but since the new bill has been
tossed into the hopper at Salem
it appears that most of this on
position has turned to support of
the measure, all except the pack
ers who seem to have a private
dislike for it and are ottering
some resistance. Erwin explain
ed the proposed law to the satis
faction of his hearers, who felt
that he knew what he was talk

Shamrocks 60 On
Spree and Win 2
Games Past Week
Edge Out Indian
Boys 53-52; Smite
Connell 56 to 44
Heppner's surprising Shamrock
hoopsters scored a stunning 53
to 52 victory Saturday night over
Pendleton's league-leading Motor
In Theater All Indian team in as
wild and exciting basketball
game as has been seen on the
local court foi several years.
In a see-saw fourth quarter in
which the lead changed hands
almost as fast as the scorekeeper
could mark the score, the local
fans went wild as the Shamrocks
jumped to a 5 point lead with
two minutes to play on successive
baskets by Padbcrg and Scrivner.
A desperate last minute rally by
the Indians almost snatched vic
tory from the hands of the Sham
rocks as Van Pelt, Indian guard,
fired in two howitzers from mid
floor to cut the margin to one
point.
The Shamrocks' tight defense
and superb backboard work by
the Kemp brothers forced the In
dians to fire at long range most
of the contest. Scrivner, Heppner
guard, and Enbysk, Motor In for
ward tied for high point honors
with 14 counters.
In the preliminary the Heppner
grade school team overwhelmed
the visiting Umatilla grade school
team.
Following Saturday night's vic
tory the Shamrocks journeyed to
Connell, Wash., Monday night to
dump the highly touted Connell
team, league champions in South
eastern Washington by a score of
56-44.

Soil Conservation
At Oil Cooperative
Attended by approximately 80
farmers, the annual meetings of
Heppner Soil Conservation dis
trict, Lexington Blow Control dis
trict, and Lexington OH Cooper
ative were held Tuesday at the
Lexington grange hall. Main at
traction of the day appeared to
be the bountiful dinner served
by the Lexington H. E. club with
Lexington X)il Cooperative as
host.
Opening the program for the
day was the showing of two films,
"The Wilsons Go to Town" and
"Under Western Skies." These
were entertaining and education
al, enjoyed by all. The Lexington
Blow Control district held its an
nual meeting during the morn
ing, reelecting Fred Nelson, Lex
ington, and Kenneth Smouse,
lone, as members of the district
board. Kenneth Smouse is chair
man of this organization.
Following an educational film,
"Permanent Agriculture," shown
after the dinner had been served,
the Heppner Soil Conservation
district annual meeting was call
ed to order by Orville Cutsforth,
chairman. Speaking on this pro
gram was Howard Cushman, sec
retary, state soil conservation
committee. Mr. Cushman replac
ed Wm. L. Teutsch, assistant di
rector, extension service, Oregon
State college, who was unable to
attend because of illness. '

Donkey Basketball
Gives Promise of
Action, Hilarity
Something new has been add
ed to the sports world and it is
to be suspected that it might be
more bruising than amusing
donkey basketball. But whatever
it is, the Lexington high school
has billed a game of donkey bas
ketball for the evening of Febru
ary 14.
Those who have seen this type
of basketball consider it great
sport. It is inconceivable that a
donkey would get much excited,
and it is conceivable that the
game would be considerably
slowed. Whatever it is, the fans
will not want to miss this exhi
bition at the Lexington gymna
sium Monday evening.
RETURNS FROM EAST
John Runyan, pastor of the

in the middle west and east
where he was on a fund raising
campaign for the McKinley In

ley. He experienced plenty of
winter weather on his entire trip
but ran into no great difficulties
getting from one point to an
other. Returning west, the train
on which he was traveling was
delayed about two hours due to
drifts in western Wyoming. Three
passenger trains were combined
in one and two huge locomotives
were hooked on and the train
rolted along at a fair rate of
speed despite the snow.

es in the state laws affecting the
district organization.
Presenting the annual report
of the Heppner Soil Conservation
district was N. C. Anderson, coun
ty agent and secretary of the dis
trict. The report pointed oufthat
the district, organized in October
1941, with a new addition made
this past spring, comprises 725,
093 acres. Of this 183,903 acres
are cultivated, 441,848 range land,
10,125 creek bottom land and 89,
217 forest land.
It was brought to the attention
of those in attendance that, in
general, the principal practices
established the past year through
the Heppner Soil Conservation
district, were crop residue utili
zation, range improvement, cross
slope planting, seeding of mass
es and legumes, diversion ditches
and irrigation land preparation.
Reelected as supervisor for a
period of three years was W. E.
Hughes, Heppner.
Annual auoit of the Lexington
Oil Cooperative, presented by
Auditor Jentsch brought forth
much discussion from lh uor
when it was revealed that the
cooperative is doing a good job
of supplying farm members with
their needs, at the same time
saving them much money In their,
purchases.
H. P. Williams and Walter Lo

BOY SCOUTS SOROPTIMIST
MEETING THEME TODAY
This being Boy Scout week, the

And Takes Torrid
Game From Condon
Waters Sets New
Individual Score,
Tossing 27 Points
In one of the hottest fought
contests seen on the local floor
in many seasons, Heppner wrest
ed an overtime basketball game
from Condon Wednesday evening
by a score of 58 to 52.
A nip and tuck battle all the
way through, the score was tied
up at 45-all as the final whistle
blew and another five minutes
was added for the play-off. Hepp
ner really went to town and laid
in 13 counters while Condon was
garnering 7 points.
Outstanding feature of the
game was the sharpshoo'ing
done by Jerry Waters. Only a fair
shot throughout the season. Wa
"rs suddenly blossomed into a
Dick Deadeye with a can't-miss
phobia and when his scoring was
tallied up it was found that he
had accounted for almost one
half of the score with 27 points.
This sets a record for individual
scoring on a Heppner team and
it goes without saying that Mr.
Waters is the man of the hour.
The Heppner B team also had
it in for Condon last night and
won rather handily by a score of
41-29.
Last scheduled game for the
Mustang squad will be at Fossil
Friday evening and Coach Bohles
hopes the boys will continue gen
erating heat on the scale that
prevailed last night. If they take
Fossil they will enter the sub
district tournament at Condon
with two strikes in their favor
and a strong possibility of en
tering the district tourney at Ar
lington. Hermiston To Be

MORROW COUNTY
AMBULANCE FUND
The committee wishes to thank
the people of Morrow county for
the grand and enthusiastic re
sponse in giving their contribu
tions to the ambulance fund, es
pecially when we are being ask
ed to contribute to so many things
and do not forget the committee
is ever mindful of that situation,
and for that reason we feel doub
ly grateful. The VFW committee
spent nearly a whole day going
into every detail from every angle
we could and we have tried to
do our best but we, too, are only
human. We realize there will be
"why's" and wherever there is a
why there will be a wherefore.
It seems that some people think
the ambulance is too large. Well,
it would appear that way as it
is capable of carrying four per
sons in an emergency. There are
two folding stretchers packed
away in a compartment out of
sight all the time and will only
be used in an emergency. This
might serve as an example: Sup
pose there is a bad accident, say
on the highway, and three or four
persons are badly injured. It is
happening every day somewhere.
If the ambulance were capable
of taking only one or two who
would decide which would be the
ones to go first while the others
were left suffering with exposure
till the ambulance could return?

All Tax Acquired
Property For Sale
Holding the view that the
county is not engaged in the real
estate business and that all pro
perties not actually in use by the
county should be gotten back
on to the tax roll, the county court
has decided to offer all such pro
perties for sale through the usual
channels prescribed by law.
The court, of which two mem
bers are new, was somewhat sur
pised to learn that a large num
ber of parcels remain under coun-
.y ownership, particularly in the
grazing district and in the towns
rhese parcels are being listed
and as fast as possible will be
advertised and sold under open
bid.

news is good news. Mrs. Cochell
conveyed the news about her
husband in telephone conversa-

Final Drawings Of
Hospital On Way
To Federal Agency
Call for Bids In
Near Future Seen
As Possibility
Final drawings of the plans
for the projected Morrow county
hospital are, or should be, In the
hands of the federal agency In
San Francisco, Judge J- G. Bar
ratt told the luncheon group of
the chamber of commerce Mon
day noon. The judge said he had
been nformed by the architect
that the final draft was ready for
submission to the federal agen
cy, which is the final authority
so far as projects of this kind in
the Pacific coast area are con
cerned.
Barratt went into considerable
detail to lay the hospital project
from the beginning up to the pre
sent before the club. He recited
the actions 'of the court and hos
pital committee in selecting the
site for the building, told of the
many obstructions that had been
removed in getting the project
cleared for federal aid and stated
that if bids to be asked for in the
near future are too high he could
be persuaded to forego the fed
eral aid and try to put uo the
building by force account, If nec
essary. He met the statement tnat
the City of Heppner could not af
ford to make water and sewer
connections with the hospital
on the engineer's estimate of
something in the neighborhood of
$100,000 by stating that the
county's water system is ade
quate for all hospital needs and
that a septic tank and drainage
system for the plant would cost
$7800, an amount included in the
over-all plans. This amount, he
said, in the event the people of
Heppner sanction the proposed
sewer system and the system is
in operation by the time the hos.
pital is ready to be connected,
can be applied in running a line
from the hospital to the nearest
sewer line, which would make
very little the city would have to
stand in providing the service for
the county-owned property.
In closing. Judge Ban-att urged
all present as well as all citizens
to visit the court and find out -how
things are going with the
hospital and all other county af
fairs. Jack O'Connor said that Inas
much as the chamber of com
merce had been one of the prime
movers in getting the hospital
project under way it was up to
the organization to get behind ft
now and see that building opera
tions are started.
Judge Barratt made a report on
the dinner meeting at Pendleton
last Thursday evening honoring
the U. S. Army engineers and
their party.
