NORTH END SHEEPMEN
SUFFER HEAVY LOSSES
Recent Cold Weather Catches Newly
ShOrn Sheep Unawares and Many
ii Them Freeze to Death
as q Result.

Exagerating reports from the north
end of the county last Friday indicat-
ed that upwards of 10000 head Of
sheep had been killed by the extreme
cold weather of the day before. How
ever, it now developes that there were
not more than 1000 killed and this
number is being decreased as the re-
ports keep coming in. Stanfeld
brothers, who operate mostly in Una
tilla county, although they run con-
siderable sheep in Morrow county,
were the heaviest loosers. First re-
ports placed their loss at 1000, but
their actual shortage will probably be
around 1000 head.
Kelley & Ward, two young men
who had only branched out into the
sheep business this year, lost several
hundred head, the sheep having just
come from the shearing pens. That
they did not lose their entire band
their band with one belonging to
John Kilkenny. the latter being
heavy wooled, thereby greatly pro-
tecting those recently sheared M.
S, Corrigall was also small loser.
The greatest loss occurred in Una
tilla, in the Echo -Stanfeld neighbor-
hood. Frank Sloan lost $50, all old
ewes, James Hoskins 400, Jos. Cunha
about 1000 and Will Pedro not over
400. The majority of the sheepmen
the section over were fortunate in
that they experienced no loss.
Barney Doherty, who runs sheep
north of Lexington, said that out of
a band of 1000 sheep. he did not lose
one. However, Mr.. Doherty got up
before daylight Thursday morning
and put all of his sheep in the shed
when he saw a very severe change in
the weather coming.

Horse Would Walk Into POstoffice

Some excitement was created for a
few minutes on Main street Monday
morning when gray mare which Del
Ward was driving, suddenly took a
notion to shy up onto the side walk
in front of the postoffice, taking her
team mate with her as well as the
buggy, but not its occupants. The
driver and his companion, Jeff Neal,
were not slow in getting out of the
buggy when the equestrian perfor-
mare started. The mare had always
been considered perfectly gentle and
she never acted in that manner be-
fore. Beyond few injuries to the
buggy and few scratches on the
horse, no other damage was done.
The team belongs to. Frank Turner
and Mr.. Ward was just starting on a
trip into the interior, when the trou-
BILE occurred. He was detained until
the damaged buggy was repaired.

In mentioning the affair at Cecil
some three weeks ago In which there
was some trouble between Mr.. Ew-
ings' family and Mr.. Jack Hynd over
the use of irrigation water this paper
stated that complaint for assault had
been lodged by Mr.. Hynd against the
members of the Ewing family. Our
attention has been called to the fact
that the complaint was not for ''as-
sault" but was "for the malicious
destruction of an irrigation ditch
We desire to make this statement in
justice to the parties interested, and
to say further that we gave out the
information as it had been given to
us. Upon the case being investi-
gated, it was not pressed in the JUS
tice court as there seemed to be no
justification for further action in
this direction. There is TO be set
tlement of the rights of parties as to
the use of water in which they are in
terested before the circuit court and
it is to be hoped that future trouble
will be avoided by satisfactory ter
mination of the case.

CITY BEAUTIFUL IS
IDEA OF C0UNC|LMEN
Town Fathers Would Have Uniform
Parking on Streets-Minimum
Width for Sidewalks-Or-
dinance Passes.

The city council has taken another
step in the direction of the city beau
tiful plan, and committee consisting
of w. o. Minor and ]. o. Hager re-
ported at the Monday evening meet
ing on the matter pertaining to uni
form parking and width of sidewalks.
After no small amount of investiga
ton, the committee handed in a re-
port favoring 12-foot walks an Main
street, S-foot walks on the cross
streets of May, Willow, Center and
Baltimore, running one block back
each way from Main. All other
streets will have an uniform parking
which is not to extend farther from
the inside line than feet. 1t is the
idea of the committee that the walks
be not smaller than 12 feet wide but
not more than feet wide. The rec
concentrations of the committee are
to be incorporated into the ordinance
pertaining to sidewalks.
The city will set an excellent exam
pie for other property owners by con-
structing a new concrete sidewalk, s
ffeet wide in front of their property
on Willow street. The city jail will
also be put in more sanitary cOndi-
ton for the reception of guests.
Marshal McCraw says there has been
some kick on the part of his boarders,
and he has plans to make the bastile
more enjoyable place in which to
sober up.
City attorney Notson read lease
from the 0. w. R. & N. Co. to the
City of Heppner, which allows the
city, for the sum of one dollar, the
use of tool house on the railroad
property, for city hose house. The
lease is good until 1919.
