Odd Ends
Took a little jaunt up Willow creek the other
day and found to our pleasant surprise that the
road well into the mountains is in about the best
condition we've seen it for some time. It seems
to us though, that this road, which is one of the
most heavily traveled in the county outside of
state highways, should get on the list for oiling
in the near future.
Actually it is this entire area's gateway to the
mountains, especially since Cutsforth Park is be
ing developed, and should be deserving of a
better surface. Hope it can be arranged within
the next year or two.
A serious effort is being made to see if a golf
course can"be built somewhere around Heppner,
Lexington or lone. So far its only in the talking
stage, but attempts are being made to find a suit
able location that can be bought or leased at a
figure not too unreasonable. Any cow pasture
pool enthusiast who has any ideas should make
themselves known to the local committee. Your
help will be appreciated.
Speaking of golf, three local divot diggers de
cided one day last week to arise bright and early
and get in a round or two at the Pendleton course.
They got there ahead of the crowd all right, only
to find that it was ladies day and no males al
lowed. Having traveled that far, and having
made arrangements to get out of work for at
least part of a day, they went on to Walla 'Walla
in search of a course where they could bat the pill
around. They chose the new Memorial course
there which as yet doesn't have much in the line
of shade. Under normal circumstances that would
have been OK except that they picked the hottest
day of the year. After 17 holes of 103 degree sun
shine we understand they're going to take up
swimming. '
The first real use of the new lights at the
rodeo field was made last Saturday for the wrestl
ing matches and we don't think anyone could
complain for lack of light. Both the show and the
lighting were excellent. .
The lights are there for the use of the gene
ral public and we surely hope that if Lexington
and lone organizations have something they
would like to put on at night that they will feel
free to use the field. Rental on the field and the
lights is very reasonable and designed to cover
only the cost of operation and maintenance.
It is too bad that lo-al ranchers couldn't get
together to establish a definite district for the
control of grasshoppers but it seems our farmers
are no different from those elsewhere. At least
two Washington counties were denied Federal aid
funds because too much land was being held out
and no substiantially-sized block could be estab
lished. '
Reports this week tell of hopper counts as high
us 100 and more to the square yard in some of
the infested area and there is fear that with that
heavy an infestation the critters will run out of
food and begin to migrate. That could cause even
more serious trouble next year.
Understand many farmers are doing their own
spraying to save their crops and grass but it is
costing them about 90 cents an acre whereas the
bill would have been only about 50 cents if it
could have been done in a block. No state or
federal money is helping either, its all out of
their own pocket. Some ranchers seem to think
that though this year's fight for hopper aid money
is lost, the publicity etc., may have a good effect
for the future in pointing up the need for real co
operation in fighting a common menace.

Henry Cohn, Dave Wilson and
Earl Gordon are members of the
Heppner lodge of Elks in Port

north part of town just at the end
of the bridge south of the depot,
with all its contents, was de
stroyed by an early morning fire
Sunday.
The service station of Lewis
Fredrlckson at Lexington was en
tered by some unknown party
last Thursday night. It Is esti
mated that the register contained
$1.38 in silver and coppers, so
Mr. Burglar got little for his trouble.

for the week is to arouse interest
in participation in the farm ac
cident problem. The ultimate ob
jective is to make farm life safer,
happier, and a more prosperous
way of living. During the week
farm safety activity throughout
the nation will include emphasis
on keeping your farm home in
order, checking and repairing
livestock equipment, keeping
small children away from ani
mals, repair or discarding broken
unsafe ladders, placing guards at
hazardous places to prevent falls.
With harvest getting under way
throughout the county, emphasis
is placed on machinery safety..
Don't depend on luck! Make sure
your equipment is in safe operat
ing condition. Make sure all
guards and safety devices are in
place. Stop machines before un
cloging, oiling or adjusting them.
A safety program is a year
round program, however National
Farm Safety Week is a reminder
to be careful at all times.

of hav. a sample of barley and
wheat from your best fields, and
