Maupin gained a total of 305 yards and 15 first downs. The Mustangs had a total of 225 yards and 4 first downs, but they had seven more points on the scoreboard. Heppner's defense is what saved the game for them. They held Maupin on the one yard line at the end of the first half and kept them from scoring. Dick Ruhl did a fine job of keeping the ball out of deep ter ritory by his quick kicks. Ruhl was Heppner's top gainer while Wendell McDaniel's was Maupin's. On defense, Dick Ruhl, Bob Ma honey, Larry Prock, and Steve Flug turned in fine defensive plays. The Maupin game was the last home game of the season for Heppner who this Friday night will meet Stanfield under the lights on the Stanfield turf.

To The Editor: O M Yeager", of Castle Rock, has sent to my sisters and to mo a copy of the Gazette-Times of August 7, containing an ar ticle which Incorporates a letter from Garfield Crawford, of Ar lington, Texas, to his sister, Mrs Frank Parker. This article Is of great interest to us, as we are the daughters of John "Watermelon" Reding ton, former owner and operator, or I should say, publisher, of the Heppner Gazette, of whom the letter speaks. Before I go on, please note that the name Redington is spelled with only one D, instead of the two, as in the story. We are four sisters, of whom I am the oldest. I will append Jbe names of the three othe" at the end of this letter, in case anyone Is interested, or remem bers the family. My father, as a young bachelor, owned the paper In the early 1880's, as I remember it. He kept bachelor quarters in a long, low house at the edge of the hills at the upper end of town, and had wonderful times with his men friends, hunting, setter dogs and so forth. He had a Chinese cook, and gave fine bachelor dinners, I have heard. He owned a cattle ranch out In the hills, too. He finally sold and went to Salem, where he was in the newspaper business, too. He also was a scout in the Indian cam paigns. In Salem he married my mother, who was the youngest daughter of A B Meacham, who was Indian Commissioner for the Washington-Oregon territory un der appointment by President U S Grant. Grandfather also, with his brother, Harvey, built and operated the toll road over the Blue Mountains to the mines at LaGiande, and the hotel where travelers stopped there at the summit. My father moved his family to Walla Walla, where he published the Statesman. Then he moved us to Puyallup, Washington, where a new fertile country was open ing up, and he published the LEXINGTON EXTENSION UNIT The Lexington Extension Unit will meet at the Lexington Christian church Wednesday, October 22 at 2:00 p m.

It was there he got his middle name of Watermelon, because he led a drive to save a burning build ing by throwing at the flames the melons from a carload of watermelons standing on a rail road siding. We left Puyallup in 1894 or 1895, when the "hop lice" destroyed v the profitable hop fields from which the town drew its prosperity. Before that, my father planted an acre of black- I berries, raspberries, and black ;caps on his home acre in town; I and sold them in Tacoma. I think jhe really started the berry in dustry in Puyallup. But we went back to Heppner in 1898, I think it was, and he again bought and published the Heppner Gazette. We left . the year before the flood, and we would all have been lost if we had stayed there, as our house was swept away. But my sisters ana i nave never iorgouen nepp ner. We were from age 11 down to eight years, and the pioneer town was very exciting. We went to school up on the hill, and loved it. Papa took us all hunt ing jackrabbits with him, out In the hills, which we loved. And took us in the summer to Disch Creek, in the Blue Mountains some of the happiest days of our lives. I have always wanted to see Heppner again but never have, since we moved from there about 1900, to Portland, where Papa was city editor on the Ore gonian. " I see by your paper that sub scribers and citizens are asked to suggest names for some streets. It occured to me that it i would be a thoughtful thing if one street could be named "Red ' ington" Street. This is only a ! personal suggestion please re gard it as such. Mr Yeager has recently told my sisters and me much of the later history of Hep pner, and of its growth. Wonder ful. But it was a mighty nice i small, wild, and wooley town when we were there, and a para- dise . for growing girls, with a father like ours. We helped him In the printing office, folded pa pers, set type (for our own pleas ure) and generally enjoyed our selves. I do not think Papa would have left there, except I believe . our very progressive mother I wanted us in city schools. ) Congratulations on the very in I teresting paper you put out. I wish you had more pictures of the present town. For many years I was a writer and associate edi tor of the Wasco News, here, and I naturally there is nothing more ' interesting to me than news papers. My sister Bernice Red-, ington was Prudence Penny on the Seattle Post-Intelligencer for many years, and is now a free-. lance magazine writer. Another! sister, EJizaoetn Keaington sxew-1 art, has written many feature , articles for publication, in Port land and Vancouver, Washing-1 ton. So we carry on the tradition for more than one generation, as our grandfather Meacham wrote "Wigwam and Warpath" in two volumes; a well-known account of the Modoc war, in which he, as one of the com missioners at the peace parley, was badly wounded. He also wrote the book "Winema".

WORLD'S LARGEST MANUFACTURER OF 4-WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLES i LONG LEGISLATIVE RECORD A man who contributed more time to his state in continuous legislative work than any other with one exception, died Thurs day in Klamath Falls. Henry Semon served in the Oregon House of Representatives for 22 years. First elected in 1933 he served his last term in 1955, which was his 11th regular ses sion. In his 22 years he also served in three special sessions. He was chairman of the power ful House Ways and Means Com mittee during nine of his 11 sessions. William H Strayer, Baker, serv ed in the Oregon Senate for 30 years during 16 regular and four special sessions. He was first elected in 1915 and was chair man of juliciary or other law committees almost continuously. During most of the tenure of these legislators the pay was $3 a dav. PINCH-HITTERS FOR GOVERNOR The president of the Senate is not entitled to receive a salary while acting as Governor during the absence from the state of the chief executive. He is en titled to expenses, however. The payment of salary was not sanc tioned by" the constitution for either the president of the Sen ate or the speaker of the House, Attorney General Robert Y Thornton ruled this week. Before legislators were put on an annual salary they received only the prevailing per diem wage for legislators whenever they served as acting governor during the governor's absence from the state or when he Is temporarily incapacitated. CLEAR WAY FOR STATE MALL Four Salem residences in the Capital Mall area were demol ished in the past few days to ready sites for state construction. Two of the structures on the south side of Center Street be tween Winter and West Summer streets are on the block where plans call for the new $3,600,000 Labor and Industries Building to rise next year. With this clearance made, only the First Presbyterian church, now being set up to move and a single residence remain stand ing on the block. WOULD FREE FIRE MARSHALL Secretary of State Mark Hat field issued a statement Friday proposing that the state fire mar shall should be independent of the insurance commissioner. The fire marshall now serves under the commissioner. Hatfield said he has heard that the state is buying, fire fighting equipment which is obsolete. ASK BUS FARE HIKE Public Utilities Commissioner Howard Morgan Wednesday or dered public hearings to be held TRADE IN TAKE OUT AS LOW AS PAY i3 NOV. - 13 DEC. - 13 f TEC SEUEEAL on the application by Western j Greyhound Lines to increase fares four cents a mile between 1 T i I t?I ' Lorvanis ana jxewpori, anu wm- ston and Coqullle. j The hearings will be held atl Myrtle Point Oct 23 and New port Oct 24. Morgan also granted a 4 per cent increase in cartage rates within Portland and its com mercial zone, effective Oct 20. Morgan said he had not re ceived a letter supporting the re quest by the Oregon Bus Assoc iation for smoking to be allowed in the three rear seats of busses although he has received a flood t of mail opposing the request. Smokers apparently don't care enough about smoking on busses to write a letter asking for the privilege. In another action Morgan this week gave Idaho Power Company permission to Issue 15 million dollars worth of first mortgage bonds. The money is to be used to help finance the company's Oxbow and Brownlee Dam con struction on the Snake River. A foe of both those dams, Mor gan explained that the law re quires him to approve the bond issue.
