Falling Tree Just
Misses Gonty Auto
A large ash tree fell In the
lot back of the First National
bank about 1:30 p. m. Sunday.
The 35 foot section of the tree
had apparently been split from
the main trunk some time ago.
Dr. A. D. McMurdo, owner of
the property, said that he could
not see what had been holding
it up, yet heavy leaves were
growing on the branches. Fungus,
with worm-like appearance, ta
ken from the inside of the main
trunk showed that It has been
split off a long time ago and
the wood was rotten inside, the
doctor said.
Avery Taylor, who lives close
by, and Dr. McMurdo sawed the
tree trunk Monday evening.
Taylor will use It for firewood.
Kd Gonty, who lives directly
across the street, said he had

Freight Rate Charges
Cause Investigation
Freight rates to the Heppner
area, wrucn some Businessmen
state are higher than those being
charged other communities, were
discussed at the Heppner-Mor-row
County Chamber of Com
merce Monday at its regular
meeting.
Chamber President Mike
Whitesmith said that Represen
tative Frank Weatherford had
reported receiving communica
tions from local businessmen In
regard to freight rates. Weather
ford had suggested that a com
mittee from the chamber be ap
pointed to study the matter.
In an ensuing discussion some
members said that they had to
pay charges on merchandise to
Hermiston, then pay an addit
ional charge from there to Hepp
ner.
Whitesmith appointed Roice
Fulleton, Ed Gonty and Robert
abrams to a committee to study
the rates and to report back at
a later meeting.
