Page 6 .Heppner Gazette TimesThursday, July 1, 1954 Local Cattle Prices Hold Up HERMISTON Sam Turner of Heppner topped the market at the ilermiston livestock auction Fri day with 9 heavy feeder steers welshing 7955 lbs., and selling for S19.C0 cwt., Delbert Anson, manager of the sale, reports.

Also consigned were 48 hogs compared with 105 and 38 sheep compared with 05, both insufi cient to establish market trend. Demand was broad and active (tn the part of. many buyers, both Oregon and Washington packers and feeders, and Twin Falls, Ida ho, feedlot buyer took two car loads of yearling steers.

June Rainfall Hits Total of 2.74 Inches The past month of June wound up weather-wise as one of the wettest Junes In recent years with Leonard Gilliam, Heppner wea ther observer recording 2.74 inches of rain during the month. It was nearly double the 1.61 inches that fell in June 1953. Heppner received more than most other sections of the county, though nearly every section got ample fall during the month. In the Gooseberry section, Leon ard Carlson reported 1.80 inches for the month and some of the northern sections of the county reported about the same amount or slightly more.
