although there is much yet to
come. At the Heppner house the
boys are beginning to "hist'' a lot
OF the wool to the secoOd story, 80
as to have plenty of room below
for the final rush. The Morrow
Warehouse Milling Co. haye not
found it necessary to do this yet,
as they put off that job just as long
as possible. BESIDES they have
quite consignment already sold
that is to be shipped out in the
sacks within a few days, and this
will make more room on the lower
floor. Saturday was quiet day
at both houses, the recent rains
holding up shearing and no wool
coming in as a consequence.
Memorial services were largely
attended on Sunday morning at the
Christian church where splendid
address was delivered by Pastor
Thompson. 1t was a union service,
the other churches of the town
all joining in. There are not
many of the old veterans left in
this county any more, but of those
remaining there was a goodly at
tendance. The W.R.C. of Heppner
also attended in body, and the
members of Willow Lodge No. &c,
LO.O.F. were largely in evidence.
The service was simple and In
structive and the sermon full of
good thought.
L. ". Briggs is home from
visit to points in Grant county,
where he was looking up life insur-
ance business. He found times
dull over that way, and is convinced
that after all Heppner and Nor
row county are quite in the lead
of most other sections that he has
visited recently along the line of
material prosperity, yet we can't
boast any too loud. Crop pros
poets are poor in much of Grant
county, according TO Mr.. Briggs
The low price of sheep and wool
is making it hand for the people
over there to get along and money
is very tight.
The Jake Wattenburger crew
finished up their work in Morrow
county at the Minor shearing plant
on Saturday. This crew has shear
ed 10000 head ofsheep at the Echo
and Minor plants for the seasons
run and feel pretty we'll satisfied.
About half of this crew left on
Monday morning for Montana, and
Jake, with the other half departed
on Tuesday morning for Enterprise
where they will have work for a
month with the shearing plant
there.
Our apologies are due to Supt.
Notson for not publishing his ar
ticle last week on the eighth grade
examinations. 1t was handed in
at late hour when our space was
filled to a point where it was utter
ly impossible to work anything
more in that issue and we regret
that we could not give it room.
Bro. Notson is good natured, how
ever, and we hope that he will not |
stop his paper because he was left |
out this once.
