On last Saturday night a number
of friends AID neighbors went to the
j. F. Barlow home on Rhea creek
and surprised Mr. Barlow and his
daughter, Flossy. To say that they
were surprised is putting it mildly.
The occasion for the affair was the
birthday of both Mr. Barlow and
Flossy. An enjoyable time was spent
in the playing of games and music,
and later a bOuntiful lunch, consist
ing OF sandwiches, cake and hot cof-
fee was served. Fifty-three people
were present to enjoy the evening.
Those present were R. E. Allstott and

An admission of 20 cents straight

schools have an athletic department.
and it takes money to conduct the
same. In neighboring town th-
other evening the merchants locked
their stores and went to the basket
ball game. After the game they op-
ened their stores again. We need
more of this spirit in Heppner. We
have never asked the public to di-
rectly assist us in carrying on our
athletic work. We never shall, but
we should like to have more en-
thusiastic support than we have had
in the past. Can't you find time to
attend the evenings entertainment
mentioned above?

Olaf Berggren Killed Near Cottage

About Two Years.
(From Cottage Grove sentineD

(From Cottage Grove SentineD
Olaf Berggren, a well-to-do resi-
dent of the London country and own
er Of the Stapleton mill at London,
was found dead in the road on the
w. w. Shortridge hill Tuesday morn
ing. His overturned wagon, to which
the horses were still attached, was
few feet further on. The lines had
become entangled in such a way as to
hold the horses. The wagon had
tipped over on the grade and it is
thought Mr.. Berggren was caught un-
derneath in such way as to break
his neck and cause instant death. His
face was badly bruised and bloody,
but none of the injuries were suf-
f1cient to cause death. The body was
found at o'clock Tuesday morning
by T. ]. Geer, A. L. Lent and Archie
Gilham. Death was so evidently
the result of accident that the coron-
er thought no inquest was necessary.
1t was evident from tracing the wag-
on tracks back along the road that
the horses had been guiding them
selves and at several places they had
narrowly missed upsetting or running
into some obstruction.
Mr.. Berggren had been in Cottage
Grove Monday afternoon and while
here secured shipment of liquor.
He passed the Wills place, about two
miles from where he was found, at
about o'clock that night and it is
thought that the accident occurred
probably an hour later.
Mr.. Berggren leaves a wife and
three sons, all residents of London
He came from Heppner, Oregon,
about year ago and was a highly
esteemed resident of the community.
He had heavy interests in Eastern
Oregon. He was 81 years of age.
Mr.. Berggren was well known at
Heppner, having resided west of town
for two seasons on the farm now
owned by Messrs. Brown, Cummings
and Stapleton. He was we'll respect
ed here as man of honesty and in
dustry, though given to excess in the
use of liquor and when in his cups he
was often reckless of his personal
safety and on different occasions mar
rowly escaped serious injury. 1t was
through Mr.. ]. c. Stapleton of this
place that he secured his property
at London, Oregon.

FIVE THOUSAND SPECIES
OF CACTUS ON DISPLAY
Department of Agriculture Ga
theirs Plants From All Cor
nerS of the Globe.

WASHINGTON. April 80. - More
than 5000 specimens OF the cactus
plant are OF exhibition 10 the grounds
of the department Of agriculture in
this city.
There is no patch Of American des-
ert which has failed TO send its rep
resentative TO this cactus congress.
1t is said by those who have author
ity 10 speak on the subject Of cacti
that nowhere else in the world is there
50 complete a collection of cactus
plants.
Many extremely rare specimens are
growing in glass house lane" be
tween Thirteenth and Fourteenth SITS,
along the north side of the grounds
OF the department Of agriculture.
The plants range in size from the
cacti called Lephophora. which fur
nish desert Indians with the little
mescal buttons used in religious rites,
10 plants as large as trees.
Hard as Stones.
There are small plants. popularity
known as living stones" These live
and grow, yet they are as hard as
stones. A boot heel pounded on one
OF these strange plants makes no i'm
preston.
There are immense cacti with
fleshy lobes as big Us a strong mans
arms and legs, and which are spine
less. II is said that the earliest speci-
mems were found in Algeria and that
out Of them came the spineless cactus
developed by Burbank. This latter
plant is a valuable forage for cattle.
There ase cacti with great long
arms that wind around stakes and
poles and climb trellises. looking for
all the world like thorny vines or some
uncanny serpent.
There are barrel cacti, plant that
grows i'm the form and OF the size of
a barrel. These are called according
to their forms, bishops niters'' and
Turks heads"
At times glass house lane" is gay

many of the blossoms are gorgeous in
cOlOrings and otherwise beautiful.
Beds OF Baby Cacti.
Close by cacti that are giants may
be seen beds of baby cacti. plants in
all stages of infancy and youth, be-
ing raised from seed.
A number Of years ago the Smith
sOnian institution, as one of its man
fold activities, took up the study Of
cactus and gathered specimens OF all
obtainable varieties.
The herbarium specimens were not
so satisfactory as the growing speci-
mems and a large number of these
were brought to Washington.
The difficulty of keeping these
growing plants under scientific Obser-
walton with the limited resources for
this kind of work at the disposal Of
the Smithsonian led the department
of agriculture to establish glass
house lane" and gather the Smithson-
ian collection therein Many addi-
tiOns have since been made to the
original collection.
