Live in Heppner.

Wyatt, age "a years, and Theodore,
II years, sons of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Putnam of Fossil, were drowned in
the John Day river, % miles from
Fossil last Sunday afternoon.
The older boy was teaching the
younger brother how to swim, and in
his fright, the younger boy clung to
Wyatt in such a manner that both
boys went down. The older boy
finally became so weak in his efforts
to save Theodore from the swift cur
rent that both went down before fei-
low bathers could save them. A
third boy, Harold Owens got hold of
them once, but was taken to the bot
tom before he could free himself.
He barely saved his own life.
The young men went to Fossil Sum
day morning with party of about 80
young men and women in autos, The
bodies were recovered by the use of
hay rake, which combed the bottom
of the river.
The funeral was held in Fossil,
Tuesday morning at ten o'clock. The
boys were nephews of Mrs. w. p.
S,rivner of this city.
Their cousin Clarence Scrivner and
wife accompanied by Mrs Emma Cur
ran, an aunt who has been visiting
at the Scrivner home in this city,
attended the funeral.

Forest Notes.

The first act of Congress relating
to forestry was an appropriation of
100000, passed in1799, for the pur-
pose of acquiring timber for naval
construction. Under this opproprla-
tion the Government established re-
serves containing live oak as the best
timber for shipbuilding.
Tn turpine industry of southern
France is man-made industry. OF
shifting, barren sand dunes and a
malaria, poverty-stricken region, the
French Government through reclama-
tion and planting of maritime pine,
has made one of the most prospe-
rous and salubruous sections of
France. A century ago the barren
sand dunes of southern France could
be bought at any price. Today this
barren land within the reclaimed area
is worth at the lowest 81. 50 per acre
while the best as high as S24.00 per
acre.
The amount of standing hardw ood
timber in this country has been vari-
ously estimated at from 400 to 500
billion feet. About $40 billion of
this is in the southern states.
President j. D. Farrell of the Ore

O. P. Hulse, Portland realty man,
was in lone Monday looking up some
property transactions in this city. 1t
strikes us that Morrow County dirt
is going to be in strong demand from
now on, the big harvest giving us a
substantial boost.
R. A. Farrens was down from the
Gooseberry country on Monday. He
expects his 900 acres of wheat will
make 20 bushels, some of his neigh
bors are putting higher estimate
upon his yield than this. He will
soon be in the midst of his harvesting.
O.. A. Brians was in from his Goose
berry farm Tuesday and took out a
new water tank from Balsiger's fact
ory. Oran has been faithful on the
water wagon these many years but
has hopes now that he may undertake

enormous chore.
Another change was consumated
in the lone butcher shop this week.
J. Frank Hall of Heppner taking over

an lone visitor the first of the week,
coming up to look after his interests
here. He is the owner of a large
tract of land in the vicinity of Nor
gan which is being farmed this season
by e. G. Morgan. He found a splen-
did crop growing on his place and is
glad to invest more money in wheat
lands in.that vicinity.
Chas. Read and son, Gus will begin
their harvest at once. They are "a
mong the big producers on the north
side this season and while some of
their grain is pretty weedy because
t the foul ground they had to handle,
the greater portion is very clean and
will produce we'll. They may decide
to use the combine although they are
contemplating heading and threshing.
Mr.. R. e. HARRISON of Hillsoboro,
Oregon, was in lone Monday looking
over some real estate in this vicinity.
He has in mind coming here with his

TWO HEPPuER BOYS ENLIST FOR BORDER DuTY|

Recruiting officer, Major H. u.
Welch met with some success on his
trip to Heppner this week seeking to
enlist men in the Oregon National
Guard duty on the Mexican border.
Chas. Ayers, son of VIM. Ayers and
Linus Judd, young man who has
been living in Heppner the past year
answered the Majors call.
The young men went to Clackamas
this morning. After spending a week
there, they will become members of a
company which leaves for the south.
Portland and the Willamette Val
ley have done more than their share,
according to Major Welch, and it
was because of this that he is visit
the towns of Eastern Oregon seek
ing recruits. He attributes the ready
enlisting Of the valley town men to
the fact that good live companies
have been thriving there for years
and great interest has always been
taken by these companies in military
drill. One company at Salem came
up to the full quota of men without
recruiting.
Of all the soldiers now enlisted
Portland has furnished about two
thirds. Portland firms are allowing
employees who have enlisted, all the
way from full pay to half pay while
they are in the army.
The National Guard men will not
be retained to active duty any longer
than absolutely necessary, is the OPT
MON of Major Welch. However, he
believes the assembling of the Guard
troops at this time is a very good
thing, since it will give the country
chance to see what the Guard is
and what its rea, effectiveness is.

MAN MEETS TRAGIC
DEATH IN PORTLAND
Il. Otto, Brother of Oscar Otto of
This City is Scalded to Death
in Vat of Water At Union
Ieat Company Plant.

Oscar R. Otto, dealer in pianos and
other musical instruments in this city
was called to Portland Tuesday upon
learning of the tragic death of his
brother, e. Otto at the Union Meat
CompaN's plant.
The unfortunate man was day fore
man at the plant and had returned
there Monday night to check up on
some work, according to the report in
the Portland papers. While there
he entered into a controversy with
Dan O'Connell, night foreman of the
glue factory. On the strength of an
alleged admission Of O'Connell to a.
mother employe O'Connell has been
arrested From the admission it
appears that in the controversy be-
tween the two men blows were struck,
OConnell has admitted that he
knocked Otto into the vat, but that
the blow was not struck with that in
tenion, he declared that the dead man
slipped.
Otto was a married man and was
about 81 years old. Oscar Otto is
the only surviving brother in this

About half a dozen rattlesnakes
have been killed here this summer.
And by here" we mean right in
tewn and three of them were assassi-
mated on the main street. They are
getting to be real menace. Sever
al theories are advanced for the rapid
increase. Some say that since the
forest service has eliminated the for
est fires it has given the reptile
good chance to increase Others say
that it is because there is no water
in the Humboldt ditch this year and
they are coming to the creek for a
drink while others say it is a dead
sure sign of a hard summer. We
think that it is because there are
no bootlegging goods here and the
rattlers are smart enough to know
that there is not anitidote enough in
town for one bite and they can trans
act their business without driving
men to drink,-Canyon City Eagle.

SUPERVISOR MAKES
TOUR OF RESERVE
Cryder Found Frost Every Night
During Three Weeks.

Range conditions are excellent on
the west division of the Umatilla for
est, according to w. w. Cryder head
of the Umatilla forestry office, who
returned last night from an extensive
tour of inspection of the territory.
Cryder says there is an abundance
of grass and lots of water this year
and the great number of sheep and
cattle which have been turned into
the forest for the summer should
have a great year.
The rabies evidently has done a
good work for there are few coyotes
left after the ravages of the disease
this year. Forest rangers are find
ing the forests covered with dead
coyote bodies.
During Mr.. Cryder's three weeks
visit in the forests there was frost al
most every night and the days were
cool. The down timber is wet due
to the late season and there will be
little danger from forest fires for
some time.
Mr.. Cryder has 100000 acres of
forest under his supervision and IA
rangers. He made most of the jour
ney on foot.
The trip was made by way of
Heppner, Fossil, John Day and Spray.
"Everywhere in that section, said
Mr., Cryder, we heard much talk of
the Roundup and the people are all
planning to come this year. The
residents too seem to think very fay-
orable of the Pendleton normal
school and will support it."
The hay crop around Heppner is
bountiful and residents of Morrow
county say that the crops in general
are the best in the last ten years.
Cryder will leave Pendleton next
week to visit the eastern slope of the
forests.-Pendleton East Oregonian.

HARVEST IS ON IN FULL SWING IN
The lone COUNTRY. MAKING BIG YIELD

This end of the county has little
to offer in the line of news at present
Nothing doing in that line as every
fellow is busy, at least every fellow
that can be induced to get busy--in
the fields, taking care of the big har-
vest. Cutting is now quite general
and another week will see all the
headers in the fields. Some few are
threshing, and one or two combines
have begun on the fall brain A.
mong these we mention Chas. Devin
who has been combining for several
days past, and is getting around
twenty bushels to the acre, and his
grain gets better as he works into
the field. Heading and threshing
is going on at rapid rate in the big
barley fields on the Baker place. Mat
Halvorsen is doing the work and this
grain is turning out 80 bushels.
There is seven hundred acres and We
understand the crop has already been
sold at a good figure and will be put
through the warehouse at lone just
as fast as is can be brought in. Paul
Reitmann has also been threshing
barley and is getting around thirty
bushels. He will also have an eX-
cellent crop of wheat and oats. L..
]. Padberg is doing some threshing of
barley, also and is getting twenty five
bushels at present and this will i'm
prove as he gets into the fields lit
tie farther. His brother, w. H. is do
ing the work with his gasoline outfit.
Mr.. Padberg states that so far pro-
gress has been rather slow owing to
the grain hardly ripe enough. The
straw is tough and this makes it hard
to thresh. However, these days of
warmer weather are maturing all
grain better and by the time he gets
to his wheat he anticipates no trou-
BILE. Mr.. Padberg has eleven hun
dred acres Of grain to put in the sack.
Messrs. Kindt and Jacquat who are
the owners of the Bowerman ranch
just over the line in Gillian County,
are getting lined out to begin COM
bining on 900 acres of grain by the
first of the week. They will propel
their machine with a 60-horse cater
pillar engine and are expecting a 20
bushel crop. John Williams and F.
H. Wilson will each begin the coming
week, and as stated above harvesting
will be general throughout the lone
section by the middle of the coming
week.
Luther Huston, Eight Mile farmer
was trading with the lone merchants
on Tuesday. He is happy over his
fine crop prospects.
Henry Holgate, who has been en-
gagged in the butcher business in lone
for the past two years., having dis
posed of his interests here, has ac-
cepted a position at Pendleton.
Bert Bowker, automobile dealer of
Heppner, was transacting business in
this burg the first of the week, dispos-
ing of car to Geo. N. Ely, ware
houseman of Morgan.
Maurice and Alvin Balsiger, sons Of
Fred Balsiger, Of White Salmon,
Wash, arrived in lone last week and
each of them has secured place to
