White Buffaloes
Due Here Friday
By MARK POINTER
Madras' White Buffaloes will
invade the domain of the HHS
Mustangs Friday night in the
Mustangs' third league basket
ball game of the season.
As the postponed Heppner-
Wahtonka game had not been
played at this writing (resched
uled for Tuesday, Feb. 4), the
league standings above will be
changed, and Heppner will eith
er lead the league or have drop
ped below Madras into third
place.
Willie Fortsen and OUie San
derville should prove to be
tough with plenty of varsity ex
perience behind them. Jeff Van
dervelden should also provide
some excitement for the visiting
Buffaloes.
Heppner's balanced scoring
attack will be ready for the
Madras boys.
The following week-end the
Mustangs travel to Moro Friday
night, February 14, to play
Sherman County. They will host
the Wahtonka Eagles Saturday
night, February 15.

In a non-league contest here
Saturday night the DeSales High
Irish downed the Heppner Mus
tanks 56-54. The contest was
close with Heppner leading at
all stops. The Mustangs' half
time margin was 31-25 which
had melted to three at the third
stop, 44-41. In the last frame
the Irish, led by Jim Volz, out
scored the hapless Mustangs 15
10. In a bad shooting game, the
Irish came out on top percentage-wise
with a .307 mark while
the Horsemen, who were con
centrating on defense, shot a
miserable .254 from the field. In
their losing effort the Mustangs
out rebounded the DeSales High
quintet, 38-34.
Jim Volz tied the game with
55 seconds left on the clock with
two gift shots. Fouled as he
went in for a lav-uo three sec
onds before the buzzer, Volz
dropped in two more free throws
to win the game, until mis
point. Heppner's defense had
held Volz. the last year's Wash
ington all-state selection to 11
points.
In their second victory over
the Mustangs the Irish were
paced bv Chris Waggoner's 20
points. He was backed by Volz
and Dan Batfany, with 15 and
10 tallies respectively.
The Mustangs were led by
Jon O'Donnell with 13 counters.
John McCabe and Cal Ashbeck
scored 12 each.
In the preliminary, the local
Jayvees dropped DeSales, 50
40, to extend their winning
streak to four.
The Baby Mustangs trailed
the Irish 9-5 at the end of the
first quarter. Lee Huson, high
scorer for the game, then went
to work and racked up 12 points
during the second quarter to
put Heppner into a 25-18 half
time lead.
Huson's total for the night
was 25 points. Second leading
scorer for the Baby Mustangs
was Matt Murray with 15.

Letter Seeks History
Of Early Drug Store
Search for information of an
early-day business in Heppner,
the ' Slocum's Drug Store, has
been received in a letter to Miss
Opal Briggs. The writer, Mrs.
Phyllis Shimko, is compiling
historical facts for a book which
she is writing, and is anxious
to have information on this ear
ly business. Parts of her letter
follow:
"Dear Miss Briggs: A school
teacher, Keith Jensen of Molal
la, who is a friend of Jake
Haynes who has a relative who
owns a drug store in Heppner,
suggested I write to you. Haynes
gave me a box marked Slocum's
Sarsaparilla in the old Slocum's
Drug Store in Heppner. They
thought you might be able to
tell me a little history of that
drug store when it went in
business and how long they
were in business under that
name. And perhaps you might
even remember the Sarsaparilla
and when they sold it.
"I am writing you because I
am writing a book on the his
tory of all the different con
cerns who made Sarsaparilla in
the olden days. So anything you
could tell me would be appre
ciated for the book, which I will
have printed soon. Many thanks
for your help."

March Deadline
Set for Personal
Property Filings
Slecial Assessor Joyce Ritch
warns that under new state
law. effective January 1 this
year, the penalty for late filing
of personal proerty returns has
been substantially Increased.
March 2 Is the deadline for
filing such returns. Under the
new law, the penalty for filing
after this date Is $5 for each
$1,000 (or fraction) of the true
cash value of the property, but
not less than $15.
The assessor points out that
the old law Imposed a penalty
of only 5 of the tax due, with
a $1 minimum.
Also, under the old law. a
notice of failure to file a return
from the assessor to the tax
payer was required, with an ad
ditional 15 days permitted for
compliance without penalty.
Such a notice is no longer re
quired, according to the asses
sor. However, upon written re
quest filed with him on or be
fore March 2, and for good
cause, he is authorized to al
low a reasonable extension of
time.
If a taxpayer Is penalized for
late filing, he may appeal to the
County Board of Equalization
during Its regular sessions and
the board may revoke the pen
alty on a proper showing that
by reason of death or serious
illness in the Immediate fam
ily, or by unavoidable absence
from the state, the return could
not be filed bv the due date.
There Is no appeal from the
board in such a case.
Questions concerning the new
penalty and procedures may be
answered at the assessor's of
fice.
