SHEEP SCABIES FOUND
IN JOHN DAY VALLEY

John Day, Ore, May 29.-Sheep
scabies has broken out on the ranges
in the lower John Day Valley, Wheel
er county, according to DR.. w. b.
Henneburger of the United States bu-
reau of animal industry, who recent
ly made an inspection Of the sheep in
that vicinity. So far as DR.. Henne-
burger could determine by prelimi-
nary inspection, the disease is con-
fined to one band, although several
other bands are under inspection.
The infected sheep belong to Mrs.
Donald Macdonald. They have been
grazing on the breaks of the lower
John Day river all spring. and it is
feared that they may have spread the
infection to several other bands graz
ing on the same range.
DR.. Henneburger has restricted the
area upon which the infected sheep
will be allowed to Craze and has ord
cred that the sheep be dipped twice
under the supervision of state or fed
eral inspectors before they be allowed
to leave the quarantined area. AS a
matter of precaution he has recon-
mended that several other bands of
sheep in the vicinity be dipped.

LOCAL MAN DISCOVERED
ASBESTOS YEARS AGO

The discovery recently of asbestos
beds near Canyon City calls to mind
the fact that county Judge c. C. Pat
terson in company with other parties
discovered large quantities of this
substance in the Greenhorn noun
tains. The Judge still has samples of
the asbestos and has displayed it On
various occasions at the county fairs.
Nothing was ever done with the beds
which they discovered, for the reason
that marketing facilities made too
costly and therefore impractical, the
transportation of the asbestos to
market. The beds near Canyon City
are now being developed. the asbestos
being shipped to Portland in its crude
state and there made into the manu-
factured article.

bRATE 4TH OF JULY

The Heppncr Commercial Club met
= gpecial session at the council
-.-~l.bc-r3 --ivnday evening to discuss
matters of Importance. Among the
most important were the Monument
mail route and the Ritter road. Tie
club has kept alive a continual agita-
ton on these two matters and as a re
suit something is finally about to be
accomplished. The postoffice depart
ment has about reached the point
where they are ready to receive new
bids for the mail route. 1t is under
stood that they will let contract
providing the bids are within reason.
Different parties are now arranging
their bids with view of sending
them to Washington soon.. The club
fels that this route is about to be re
established.
The subscription list for building
the Ritter road has long since been
completed but only few of the sub
scribers have paid in cash. The list
was again referred to the original
committee in charge of the Ritter
road fund.
1t has been announced that Irrigon
is making extensive preparations to
celebrate the 4th of July and they
have invited the people of Morrow
county to join thm in observing the
anniversary of the nations birth. The
club has taken the matter up and will
strive to work up some enthusiasm in
Heppner and in the event special
train is run from this city to the town
on the Columbia, many Of the local
people will no doubt avail themselves
of an opportunity to take an eXcur-
sion trip to the sister city on the
north.

N. R. Moore, regent of the Oregon
Agricultural College at Corvallis was
in Heppner Sunday, "just to see the
town." A newspaper man, he came
to see the editor in his sanctum, and
hoped to find o. Crawford, former, D.
A. G. student, tuba player and print
er who was about the Corvallis Offices
when Mr.. Moore first invaded the
Willamette Valley town seven or
eight years ago. However this
of other days is now in La Grande,
where the two will probably meet.
Mr.. Moore was surprised to find such
a healthy looking town stuck away
off up here in the mountains. While
Heppner is generally known as an
unusually good town, most visitors
are surprised to find such evidence Of
truly big country. After seeing
scores of Eastern Oregon towns, the
wonderful shadiness Of Heppner
struck him, and he was enthusiastic
over the court house and its trim,
well-kept appearance. Down in the
Valley where everything grows with
out effort, such an excellent lawn
about a public building can not be
found, was Mr.. Moore's assertion.
Touching upon Corvallis and O. A.
iC. Mr.. Moore said In part. "Cor-
Wallis has really had an excellent

dress of Judge s. A. Lowell.
David Wilson Received
Scholarship to Villa
mette U.

Nine seniors of the regular four
year high school course and seven
members of the seniors commercials,
! a two year course. were presented
with their diplomas at the conclusion
of the commencement program in the
high school auditorium last Friday
night.
The program on this commence
ment evening was opened by David
Wilson, salutatorian for the class,
who delivered an oration entitled
Patriotism" Mr.. Wilson had his
address well prepared and delivered
it in manner pleasing.
A solo, THE Keepers Song by
Clarence Scriyner, a member of the
class was so well sung that it called
forth an encore. Mr.. SCrivner has
deep bass voice and sings with an
ease and volume which is indeed
pleasant to the audience.
A timely subject was outlind in
clear manner by Loren Mikesell,
whose oration, "Shall we get our
share Of world trade" plainly shows
the great opportunity which this
country now has to build up a great
merchant marine. Mr.. Mikesell's
oration showed evidence of consider
able study and research work on his
part. 1t was we'll delivered.
Miss Cornelia Johnson, class vale
dictorian delivered an oration on "A
Man. She took for her subject
Henry Clay. Had Clay been reward
ed for his patriotic deeds by his
fellow men, the presidency of the
United States would have been the
least they. could have given him. but
according to Miss johnson, too often
it happens that the truly great and
/ deserving men of nation are passed
/ up for men of lesser worth. Her ad-
dress of farewell to the class, in
which she bid goodby to high school
and the high tribute she paid to the
factuly rang with a sincerity which
cannot be doubted.
The high school quartet, con-
sisting Of Clarence Scrivner, Lester
Ingram, Earl Gordon and Chas. Bar
low, sang the Rosary" in very
pleasing manner.
The address to the class was deliv-
cred by Judge Stephen A Lowell Of
Pendleton. Judge Lowell advised
the members of the class to work for
a definite ideal. His entire address
centered on this theme and he clearly
defined his subject in the course Of
! his remarks. The Judge is a bril-
liant orator and his command of the
English language is remarkable in
that he is never at loss for the
fright word at the proper time. The
school was very fortunate in securing
a man to deliver the commencement
address who has at heart the welfare
of the masses. His address on this
occasion came up to the usual stand
ard and we trust that the Heppner
public will have the opportunity of
hearing him on many more occasions
in the future.
The diplomas were presented to
the graduates by county superinten-
dent of schools, S. h. Notson, after
which the evening entertainment was
concluded by the high school chorus
singing "The Legends of the Bells
under the direction of Miss Marion
Long, Supervisor of music.
David Wilson was presented with
scholarship to Willamette University.
