Lewis Allyn, 58, watermaster
for the City of Lexington, was
killed almost instantly Friday
morning shortly after 9 a.
when the pickup he was driving
went out of control on highway
74 about two miles north of Lex
ington.
The vehicle crashed through
a guard rail on a curve and
dropped some 30 feet on to the
railroad tracks. The victim
mained inside the cab as th
pickup came to rest on its left
side.
State Policeman Jim Gordon
who investigated, said that Mrs
Alvin Wagenblast witnessed the
accident from her farm home
nearby.
Lengthy skid marks indicate'
that the vehicle had veered into
the left hand lane as it went
into the corner headed towards
lone. As it went out of control
it hit the guard rail apparently
nearly broadside, knocked out
two deeply embedded posts and
broke through the double lam
inated wooden railing.
Funeral services were Monday
at 2:30 in the Lexington Christ
an church with the Rev. Walter
Smith officiating.
Allyn was born in Lexington
and attended grade and high
schools there. He was an out
standing football player for Lex
ington High school. He worked
in the shipyards during the war
and remained in Portland until
about seven years ago.
He had been living with his
mother, Mrs. George Allyn, who
only recently was released from
Pioneer Memorial hospital after
undergoing medical treatment
there.
Besides the mother, he Is sur
vived by a son, Darrell and two
grandchildren, all of Corvallis
a brother, Melvin L. Allen, who
recently returned to Morrow
'ounty from California; a second
brother, Carl, ot Portland; ana
a sister, Mrs. Elsie Fox of Wen
atchee, Wn.
Shades of Old West!
Chamber to Ride
Again on August 26
With the precision of a
crack cavalry company of the
late 1800's and in the tradition
of the Old West, members of
the Heppner-Morrow Chamber
of Commerce will take to the
saddle to ride to their regular
meeting Monday noon on Aug
ust 2G, Co-chairman Frank
Turner and Jim Farley an
nounce. Full cowboy attire will be
the order of the day, and
hitching posts or rails will be
provided in front of the reg
ular meeting place, the Wagon
Whrol Cafe.
Procession will be led by
President C. M. Wagner with
the American flag. At Ids side
(it says here, but don't believe
all you read in the news
paper!) will be Secretary Wes
Sherman, followed in pairs (or
pain) by the members. At the
roar will be committee mem
bers, Jim Farley, champion
calf roper, and Frank Turner,
venerable cowboy whose ex
perience on the range dates
back to the turn of the century.
Horses and riders will as
semble at Tum-A-Lum Lumber
Company at 11:45 and will
proceed up Main to the First
National Bank where the
horses and some of the riders
will make a U-turn and go
back to the Wagon Wheel.
There, wranglers will take care
of the horses.
This special event Is the in
spiration of President Wagner
and is done in the spirit of the
Fair and Rodeo season. All
members are especially re
quested to attend.
"Why not bring a guest?"
Turner asks. "This really is
the special meeting of the
year. Be there."
Anyone who has been in
clined to think that the Cham
ber is a one-horse outfit might
see differently at the forth
coming event, the committee
says. No admission will be
charged spectators who wit
ness this proud company pass
ing by. Arrangements may be
made to have the Heppner am
bulance standing by for those
brave members who ride
horses friskier than they are.

Muggy Weather
Cools; Storm
Misses Heppner
Hot, muggy weather that
brought maximum temrjerAtnres
oi au or a Dove tor 10 consecutive
ciays nere appeared to be cool
ing on as of mid-week.
A threatening storm In the
Heppner area Monday fizzled.
Dark clouds failed to bring the
portended lightning. Only a few
drops of rain fell here, but other
sections felt the brunt of the
storm. ,
Boardman was hit with winds
of near-cyclone force, reported
elsewhere in this paper, and
lightning strikes set range fires.
A waterspout hit the Burl
Wattenberger place on Butter
Creek just below Pine City. A
bridge was washed out and a
large quantity of hay was lost.
Considerable fence damage
was done. The family had been
planning to take a vacation but
may nave to alter its plans be
cause of the spout.
In some parts of the Umatilla
National Forest lightning kept
crews on the go, but on the
Heppner district, only two small
fires were reported through the
storm period. Neither proved to
be of any great consequence and
both were quickly extinguished
by crews of the Forest Service.
The run of 90-degree weather
started on Saturday, August 3,
and continued through Monday
of this week. During that time
tour days had maximum temper
atures of 91, two of 90, two of
9d, one of 92, and the hottest
on the final day Monday
when the storm came to the
north and east and cooled things
off.
Nights remained warm during
the period with two davs this
week showing minimum temper
atures of t4 and one of 63. How
ever, in the earlv morning hours
