20 TEARS AGO
(Aug. 28, 1941)
Housing Problem
The influx of people to town
for the school year, starting next
Tuesday has brought the most
serious housing problem Hepp
ner has experienced in many
years. Real estate offices are
facing a constant demand for
living quarters, while numerous
transactions have been reported,
Daily people are asking "Where
can I got a house."
Wettest August of Record, 2.07
.85 inch fell Tuesday to give
Harvesters trouble. Heppner's
curbs ran full of water within
a short time Tuesday afternoon
when Jupiter Pluvious spilled
.85 inch of moisture to give the
city one of its wettest days in
history and bring the record for
August well above that for any
August shown on the charts.
Heppner was not alone in re
ceiving the drenching which
proved less welcome to those
wheat farms having the remain
ing fourth of the county's bump
er wheat crop still standing.
The downpour reached cloud
burst proportions in spots, with
damage to summer fallow, fenc
, es and roads. No material loss
of grain has been reported.
Antelope Tags
Tags are still available to
hunters, the bag limit Is one
antelope of either sex, and tags
cost $1 each for resident or non
resident hunters. This fee is in
addition to the regular hunting
license fee.
Lively Good Prices, Ram Sale
Strong condition of the sheep
and wool market was reflected
in the Oregon Woolgrowers as
sociation ram sale at Pendle
ton last Friday. More than 700
head of animals were sold at
' prices almost double a year ago,
a strong demand being shown
for all types. One pen of Hamp
shires brought the top market
at $65 per head, while a Suf
folk stud brought a high lndi
vidual price, $250.
Prices and Costs Up
As Big Crops Stored
Material increases in both
farm prices and farm cost and
further indications of a total
U. S. output of farm products
approaching record proportions
are outstanding among the
facts included in a review of
the agricultural situation and
outlook just issued by the Ore
gon State college extension ser
vice. The report gives particu
lar attention to the market out
look for wheat from the crop
to the planted this fall and
next spring. The sharp uptrend
in prices for farm products is
attributed to strong consumer
purcnasing power ana otner
factors associated with the war
