Dress-Up Parade
Cancelled by Rain
The Dress-Up parade scheduled
for last Friday evening was can
called because of rain, according
-to Phil Blaknoy, president of the
JayCees.
The rain, pouring steadily at
0:00 p. m.,' and the waterspout
earlier would possibly have kept
many of the participants from
reaching Heppner on time so can
cellation was a necessity.
The crowning of Queen Elise
was held at her dance after 10:00
p. m. Phil Blakney performed 1he
coronation. The queen and her
royal court were presented cor
sages from the Morrow county
Fair and Rodeo committee by
their chaperone, Mrs. Martin
Bauernfoind.
There will be no make-up for
the Press-Up parade or the
.square dance entertainment
planned to follow it.

FLOOD DAMAGE

'clianfiel and spread out over the
! lawns and filled basements in
the lower part of town. No road
bridges were lost, though several
were damaged considerably.
j After the water from Black
horse and Clark canvon combined
in Willow creek the pressure took
out two piers of a railroad bridge
on the McMillan place between
Lexington and lone. Above Lex
ington, near Sourdough canyon
! another railroad bridge was
pushed out of line. The train was
at Heppner at the time of the
, storm and was forced to lay over
'here until Monday when railroad
crews had repaired the damage.
! Several farms along the edge
of the storm also suffered some
damage, among them the Wight
I man ranch about three miles be
low Heppner where the torrent
caused considerable loss to small
buildings and grounds. A small
I rock slide just below Heppner
I partially blocked the main high-
way for a short time. At Sour
dough canyon traffic was stop
ped for nearly an hour before
water receeded enough around
the highway bridge to allow state
highway crews to break a trail
through the heavy layer of mud
lo allow cars to get through.
Many fields between Lexington
and Jordan suffered considerable
washing when debris piled up !
behind railroad bridges andj
forced the heavy flow of water
nut tlirmmh n,H;ir'ent fiirm lnnrlu I
Eye witnesses in various sec
tions said that both Clark canyon
and Eightmile canyon carried the
heaviest flow of water that has
boon seen in recent years.
Tom Wilson, after a survey of
the fields hardest hit by the
spout, said that while no known
type of erosion prevention farm
ing could completely prevent
heav y soil loss (luring such heavy
rainfall, checks of several strip
farmed lands showed much less
damage than did open fields.
Heppner itself, which 50 years
ago suffered great loss in a flood,
was missed by the heavy down
pour. The rain here was heavy,
tint was not concentrated in any
of the canyons above town.
Mrs. Carl Vincent, Alice and
Tommy will leave today for On
tario, Oregon, for a visit of one
week.
Barbara Buchanan of Seattle is
visiting at the home of her
grandmother' Mrs. Lucy Rodgers.

CLOWN'S MULE TO PARACHUTE IN
FOR SATURDAY AFTERNOON SHOW
A mighty important per
sonage is going to appear
in Heppner for the Rodeo
this weekend, but it took
some pretty tight schedul
ing for him to make it, ac
cording to Gene Morris, well
known clown who will per
form at the show.
Gene, it turns out is al
ready here and ready to put
on his popular bull fighting and
other acts for the entertainment
of the crowds, but 'Blue Jeans"
his mule partner in the act seems
to be a pretty busy animal and
is playing a few shows on his
own hook.
To be able to get the mule here
in time for the afternoon show,
Kit Carson, Heppner flier is going
to pick "Blue Jeans" up, where
ever he happens to be working
earlier that day, and fly him to
Heppner in time to perform here.
So tight is his schedule that there
won't even be time to land him
at the Lexington airport and haul
