HEPPNER WATER
AND|CE ARE PURE
Report Received by City Health OF.
ficer to Effect That Both Water
and ice Used Here Are Free
From Typhoid Germs.

City health officer, DR.. A. D. Nc
Murdo, is in receipt of report from
the state health officer on an analysis
of water and ice used by the citizens
OF this community. Samples were
sent in a short time ago and the re-
port received is to the effect that both
water and ice are pure ana free from
typhoid germs.
The melted ice shows 100 organ
isms to the cubic centimeter, which
is about IA teaspoon, making about
400 organisms to the teaspoonful.
These organisms, after being incu-
bated for 70 hours produced no gas,
indicating that there were no typhoid
germs present. The sample Of city
water was drawn from the pipes, and
was a fair specimen Of that which
is habitually used here. The analy-
sis shows but 80 organisms to the
teaspoonful, and after ~ hours in
cubation no gas was recovered.
According to this report, our citi-
zens need have no fears of being in
fected by the dreaded typhoid germ
from the use of either the ice or
water furnished our city. In fact 1t
has long been understood that we had
a pure water supply and for many
years past cases of typhoid at Hepp.
ner have been vesy rare, indeed.

Be Tender With Skunks.

"The skunks," says western
Pennsylvania weekly newspaper twill
have to be protected or the farmer
may as we'll throw up his hapds. The
ground mice girdled thousands of
dollars worth of trees under the
snow while it was on the ground last
winter. We saw many locust trees
large enough for posts, with the bark
eaten off clean for foot up from the
ground When skunks were plenti-
full, mice were scarce; but now there
is not an acre of ground in Hanover
township without two bushels of
mice. Leave pile of corn out over
night and it is buried by morning
leave a stack of hay out over winter
and it is cut too fine for hens nest
The ladies will have to get something
else to put around their necks, and
let the skunks alone-the farmer
needs them in his business"
This condition exists in many 9th.

tricts, and proves that the farmer

Some Fine Films At
The Home Theater

Edgar Ayers has been putting on
some fine films at The Home Theater
during the past week. The theater
has also been patronized by large
audiences who have gone away we'll
satisfied with each performance OF
the movie actors. Starting on Fri
day evening last, the new serial 1.-The
Black Box" was begun, and the init
ial performance proves this to be one
of the best feature plays ever put on
the canvas here. The "Trey o
Hearts" still draws on Mondays and
Tuesdays, but it is coming to close
with two more episodes. 1t has been
very popular with the Heppner pub
lie and has made numerous friends
for the Home. The very near future
holds in store some of the highest
class productions at this theater,
seasonable announcement of which
will appear in these columns.

Spraying to Get H0ppers.

County Fruit Inspector Walbridge
has been putting to the test the rec
ommendation of the Agricultural De-
partment that to spray certain veget-
ables with Paris green will get the
grasshoppers. The past week ne
sprayed field of seven acres OF po-
tatoes for G. A. Minor, and from the
reports so far received a good work
is being accomplished and the pest Is
being destroyed by the poison. 1t
takes about two days to kill them
but on the second day the poison gets
in its work in good shape and the
hoppers are laid out by the thou
sands. Mr.. Walbridge believes that
the use of Paris green in this way on
the potato vines will save the crop
from destruction and kill off the
grasshoppers that attack the gardens
