Mulloy of Beaverton, the Morrow County Museum now has an authentic- "Relief Edit ion" of the Heppner Times, dat ed June 17, 1903. Copies of the Heppner Gazette have been reprinted here for many years, as a special zinc engraving of the original copy was made by Bob Penland.for the Wagon Wheel. It Is inter esting to note that the Heppner Times and the Heppner Gazette were both published on Thurs days. It is also interesting to note that the Heppner Times states "Thursday, June 17, 1903" and the Heppner Gazette states "Thursday, June 18, 1903." This merely underlines the terrible strain of that period. Front page of the Heppner Times lists many of the dead, missing and injured from the early day flood. Mr. Mulloy lived in Lexington until 1920 when he moved away. This was his first visit back to Morrow County since that time. Mr. and Mrs. Mulloy recently found the copy of the Heppner Times in the family Bible. They decided this copy should return back to Morrow County and do nated the issue to the Museum here.

He was listed In poor condition Monday following an accident Saturday at Kinzua Corp's Hepp ner plant Mr. McConnell, an electrician, was working from a piece of equipment on lines in front of the planer shed. He receivea an electric shock and jumped back to release himself from it, fall ing 10 feet to the ground. He landed on his head and shoul der and suffered a concussion, a broken nose and broken ribs.

Cogburn, fire control of ficer of the Umatilla 13110081 Forest, reports that Heppner District had its first man-caused fire Sept. 25. In the Red Hill area, the fire burned three ac res before it was controlled. There has been a total of 59 fires to date. ' , Glen Ward of the State Game Commission presented the pro gram at Monday's luncheon at the Wagon Wheel of the Hepp ner-Morrow County Chamber of Commerce. He said the 1970 buck deer season looks very good. He showed color slides and narrat ed an interesting factual story. Mr. Ward said a carryover of big bucks was needed for breeding and they were some what protected by a little shorter season. Winter losses were quite mild last year. The elk populaton is up. He said they anticipate quite a few spikes to be harvested this sea son. Accessibility has killed off the bigger bulls. Cutting down the end of the season is aimed at protecting the big bulls, There are something like 46 calves per 100 cows and a good calf crop was reported this year. He said the little antelope band at Ordnance had 8 young ones and they expect just small herd there. Bear season is now in effect, There is no Oregon open sea son on cougar. Pheasant crop Is pretty good this year, according to Mr. Ward, and the native popula tion is down some. 300 were brought in earlier and this is being increased to a plant of -700.- --- - - ' - - Quail have made a good come back, chukars made big gains. The Hungarian partridge is just holding his own . First season for turkeys will be in November from 21 to 25. It is a small population of tur keys and they are crossing with farm flocks. This results in bands of less hardy birds that may not carry over in the win ter. For this reason a good kill is necessary during the open season. Waterfowl appear "favorable, he added. . He showed slides of vandals destroying nesting boxes. Pol luted streams in Oregon were shown and also result of over grazed lands. He pictured the terrible forest and range fires. Perhaps stiffer fines would help eliminate the illegal hunt ing. He said a buffer zone of standing timber is needed along roads for cover for game , ani mals and birds. ... Less harassment is needed to save the elk herds. Nitrogen effects on salmon are detrimental and caused by dams. The elk herd in the Heppner unit is from 600 to 800 head and brings in annually some $420,000 into the state's econ omy. Over 50 years, value of the herd is some $20 million. He says multiple use factors must be studied and consider able education is needed to per petuate the population of game, birds and fish. Kinzua Gets a Large Check fi X "A. N if '' '', ' LEE ROBERTSON, for the State Accident Insurance Fund (SAIP) recently presented Allen Nistad, General Manager of the Kin zua Corporation with a dividend check in excess of $32,000 which represents dividends earned by the corporation during the 1968-69 policy year. Charles B. Gill. Jr., general manager of SAIF, said this check is one of 22,000 totaling $10,617,396 now going to Oregon em ployers and Is the largest dividend ever paid by the state. Gill pointed out that the record $10,000,000 dividend can be directly attributed to an aggressive safety program resulting In favorable Iocs ratios for Individual employers. Low administrat ive costs and high investment yields also contributed to the high dividend. This Is the largest check presented to a Morrow County employer. County's; Grain Income, Expense Up Heppner Mustangs To Meet Sherman Huskies The football fans of Heppner may well remember last year when the Sherman Huskies bumped off the Heppner Mus tangs and clinched the 7 A-2 sub-district title. Again this year both teams are in contention for the district title. Friday night the Mustangs will host the Sherman Huskies at 8:00 p.m. Assistant Mustang Coach Dean Naffziger said, "They (Sherman Huskies) can be real tough and probably one of the roughest teams the Mus tangs will play this season." He said, "The Huskies are not a real fast team but do move the ball well both in the air and on the ground." Tony Jones is the main ground gainer for Sherman. ' - "If the Mustangs don't play up to their capability, their 3-0 record will be in jeopardy," Coach Naffziger said. Hopefully, the Mustangs will be able to keep Sherman from scoring and maintain their rec ord of shutouts. (. - By HAROLD KERR County Extension' Agent Farm income was up this year in Morrow County, notes Harold Kerr, - County Extension Agent. But this increase was largely offset by increased costs. Both yields and price account for the increase of nearly 25 in wheat and barley income ov er the previous year. The wheat yield for Morrow County was estimated to be 31 bushels as compared to 25.9 bushels in 1969. Later figures and reports may revise this figure slightly. Barley yields, were estimated at slightly over of a ton up slightly from the previous year, The big question mark for this year is the farm program, At this writing very little infor mation is available which will help growers determine what to plant and how much. Most growers will probably over seed their acreage and when the ex act farm program is known, cut back to fit their allotment. JP Attends Conference Dee Gribble, acting Justice of Peace, Heppner, went to Justice of Peace Conference at Hood River earlier this monthi Ses sions had to do with legislative Issue, weighmaster problems, procedures for relnstallment of driver licenses. There were 7 women Justice of Peace officers In attendance. Generally over the county there Is a good reservoir of moisture available in the soil profile. A good rain is needed to wet the surface prior to plant ing. If we get that needed rain this fall, crop prospects are good for next year's crop.

(Additional pictures and story, page 4) The Oregon State Elks Asso ciation Is again collecting hides for two very worthwhile causes. The main supply of these hides after tanning are donated to our veterans who are still in Vets Hospitals in Oregon. Last year the dollar value of these hides turned into the veterans was $5,305.37. In addition to this, $196.19 worth of hides was al so donated to the Milton-Free water Girl Scouts. In 1968 and 1969 the Oregon State Elks Association donated $15,000.00 each year to the Meadowood Speech Camp. The came from the sale of surplus main source of this money hides and the amount of mon ey donated in the future will largely depend on the number of hides collected each year. Glen Ward, hide chairman, Heppner Elks Lodge No. 358 strongly urges that all hunters donate their game hides and de posit them in barrels located at key locations throughout the county. Remember Let's save our hides for these veterans who have given so much for our country and to our needy child ren who require specialized training for their speech defects.
