HEPPNER GAZETTE - Chats With Your Home Agent By ESTHER KIRMIS There was a hanging rope, a swayed -backed white horse, and a circle of pioneer wagons. Those are the things that attracted my attention as I drove onto the Boardman school grounds on Tuesday, August 4, when the en tire county turned out to wel come the famous wagon train making its way from Indepen dence, Missouri to Independence, Ore. According to the sheriff's posse, who met the train early Tuesday morning as it crossed the Morrow county line the sway-backed white horse (be longing to an Irrigon farmer) was ound among the horses of the waf;on train. This evidence re sulted in a trial of Tex Serpa, wagon master, which put him on the other end of the hanging rope! All this "hanky-panky" set the jovial mood of the day which be gan when the wagon train pulled Into Boardman around 12:30 P M and made camp. The Morrow county fair and rodeo queen and her court had a busy day. They met the wagon train as it crossed the county border and accompanied It the 14 miles into Boardman, ate with them at noon when the Tillicum club of Boardman served them lunch, made appearances at the hanging, danced a can-can for the crowd, served the "twentieth century" pioneers their baked salmon in the evening; and dan ed at the square dance that followed. (Queen Elizabeth has i'hing on these girls.) Most of my activities were con fined to the "food-end" of this celebration as our extension units spearheaded the plan of soliciting food and help from all the women's organizations in the county. I picked up Joe Hay, our new extension agent, at the Hitchin' 4 Non-Surgical Method Cures Hemorrhoids Painlessly A relatively painless, non surgical method of treating hemorrhoids (piles) is work ing therapeutic miracles for thousands who suffer from rectal and colon disorders.

She told its how everyone In the community had pitched In. Gal lons of potato calad had been prepared and were in the cooler of the Boardman tavern. Bob Reed, chef of the Hitchin' Post, had some 200 pounds of steel- head in the locker which he would prepare. Mr Rands had a ton of watermelon cooling in Martin Skoubo's locker. We ran shuttle service between all these places and the school cafeteria in the afternoon and by 6:30 P M the salmon bake be gan. Mrs Nathan Thorpe, who had a guest book, informed me that over 600 people from all over the country had registered. (Even a girl from Holland.) It was close to 8:00 P M before the last person was served. But everyone had a serving of steel head which made the wait worth while. Someone made the obser vation that the Boardman school grounds will very likely be a watermelon patch by next year because of the number of seeds which must have dropped Tues day night. I toured the wagons In the afternoon and wondered how so much could be packed Into such a little space. (Our pioneer peo ple must have had to choose wisely as only Important Items could be taken.) The twentieth century could not help but make this crossing a little easier. They had a kitchen truck with a U- mu. ua.ic, an u . auu a large van to carry the hay for the horsese and mules.

(Just this contin ual celebration every night, must take plenty of stamina!) The only member of the wagon train that I really got to talk to was a Dave Gastman of Cot tage Grove, Oregon. He was deep ly tanned, wore a buckskin Ifringed jacket and had a charm- ization or confinement Pa tients show marked Im provement almost immedi ately, and uncomplicated cases can be frequently cor rected in as little as 10 days.

He really did a Job of fraternizing with the crowd. He was selling a picture of the wagon train coming across the desert in Wy oming. I'm sure he did a good business. He has a restaurant in Cottage Grove and felt that this wagon train publicity would surely improve his business. Going home that evening, I was following Velma Glass, county health nurse who decided to have a flat tire at the Roy Martin (Lexington) driveway. With the accompaniment of their barking dog we changed the tire. My day was complete!
