We're not figuring on making a celebration
out of the event, but with this Issue the Gazette
Times starts Us 74th year of publication. We may
bo open to argument, but we are pretty certain
the birthday assures us of being the oldest con
tinually operated business In Heppner.
Our predecessors In this enterprise started out
as the Heppner Gazette and the first issue came
out on March 30 1883. A newspaper carrying that
name, or a combination with it, has come out
every week since. The discrepancy in dates comes
from ths fact that a newspaper numbers Its ad
ditions from one to 52 each year, then starts over.
The extra leap-year days over that period have
gotten us to a point where we celebrate our birth
day two wepks early.
Just out of curiosity we dug out our Oregon
Blue Book and discovered that the Heppner Ga
zette Times is the 17th oldest newspaper in Ore
gon (both daily and weekly) and is the 9th old
est weekly in continuous publication. The oldest
paper In the state is The Oregonian which started
in 1850. followed closely by the Salem Statesman
the following year, the oldest weekly is our
next-door neighbor-almost, the Blue Mountain
Eagle at John Day which came into being in 1868.
We've been around quite a while (the paper
we mean), anyway, and we try not to let our age
show but if on occasion we let a story with
whiskers slip in now you'll know why.
Leave il to Oregon. Now we even have a pis
tol-packing Congressman in Washington.
Noticed where a Portland raido station ran a
poll on whether their listeners thought their city's
mayor was guilty or not guilty of taking a bribe
of which he has been accused by testimony in
the Washington hearings. Looks to us as though
that's a matter for a court to decide not radio
listeners, or newspaper readers, either, for that
matter, even if the gentleman is somewhat al
lergic to lie detectors.
Celilo Falls on the Columbia are no more. Fu
ture generations will never know the difference,
but that beauty spot on the great river won't
quite be the same to a lot of us around today.

Dr. A. G. Beagle, veterinarian 7,199 cows
in charge, of the U. S. bureau of
animal industry called at the of
fice on Tuesday of this week. An
interesting discussion was held
with Dr. Beagle concerning pro
gress of testing for Brucellosis In
Eastern Oregon counties. Dr.
Beagle pointed out that Morrow
county has, even though they
have been declared certified
modified Brucellosis free area
tested 7,246 cattle for Brucellosis
in the calendar year 1956. These
were tested in 133 herds. This
is one of the largest number
of cattle tested in one year since
the Brocellosis testing program
got under way. Of the 133 herds
tested, 18 herds contained reactor
cows with 127 reactors there be
ing 1.3 per cent reactors in all
cattle tested.
Dr. Beagle pointed out that one
way to cut down on the percent
age of reactors in a herd would
be through an accelerated calf
vaccination program here. He
pointed out that only 40 herds
containing 665 heifers were vac
cinated. To illustrate his point
he sighted an example of a herd
In Lake county recently tested.
The herd contained cattle with
al replacements having been
calfhood vaccinated in the past
12 years. The herd contained
and none -had been
tested before this winter. When
tested recently the herd was
found to contain no reactors, In
Baker county it is estimated that
95 of the heifer calf replace
ments are vaccinated. In the
testing program being carried
out there it was found that only
..8 of 1 of the cattle tested were
reactors. Also Dr. Beagle pointed
out that buyers are demanding
vaccinated heifers and with the
new federal shipment regula
tions on heifer calves can move
out and across state lines unless
they are vaccinated or tested.
It would appear that with this
new regulation that went into af
feet January 1 that most of our
livestock men will want to vac
cinate heifer calves at weaning
time. He also pointed out that
the bureau of animal industry
has facts and figures that indi
cate that a better price has been
received for vaccinated heifers
over those unvaccinated.
Dr. Beagle called our attention
the need for more livestock men
testing for tuberculosis between
now and April 1. We need a
test on approximately 700 head
by April 1 in order to continue
to hold our tuberculosis free sta
tus. The practice of testing a
percentage of the herd for TB at
the time of Bangs testing has
been carried out In the past
years. Recertification is neces
sary evey three years.
During our visit Dr Beagle also
pointed out that since thousands
of dollars had been spent in test
ing cattle in Morrow county to
obtain the Brucellosis free sta
tus that it was very important
that livestock men understand
that cattle being moved into the
county unless originating from
a certified herd must be tested
first. Even though this test is
