Flemingsburg with the nearly. wreck

The Flag for the weary,
The Flag for the CHEEKY,
Is the red, white and blue.
Fling 1t to the breezes,
Let Old Glory lead US,
To liberty, that's pure and true.
The Flag on the steeple,
The Flag of the people,
The Flag that waves on high.
The Flag on the mast,
The Flag first and last,
The Flag for you and l.
The blue field Of glory,
Like the old time story.
Is source of pure delight,
With the Stars and Bars,
Can take the jolt and pars,
Yet win for us all right.
In front of our army,
And above our own navy,
Or in hands Of citizens brave;
Let 1t be the emblem,
And the watchword of freedom,
That our country, we may save.

The shipment contained 207 Olds-
mobiles of different models valued at
$283,761.00. Transportation charges
alone were over $4,000. The train
was over half mile long-in fact it
was not possible to photograph all of
1t as there was not stretch of track
with unobstructed view around Lam
sing that was long enough to show
the train.
General Manager VerLinden, takes
pardonable pride in so practical a
demonstration of Oldsmobile pro-
gress and accomplishments, as it tells
in positive terms of the wonderful
strides accomplished by the Olds Mo-
tor Works during the year just
closed. Moreover, it serves equally
we'll as a standard by which to reckon
on Oldsmobiles for the future since
they are now building enough cars to
load such a train from much less than
two days output.
Mr.. Cohn, local dealer, says this
shipment Is but further evidence of
the popularity of the Oldsmobile, for
while production has forged rapidly,
he is still obliged to place his orders
much in advance to insure prompt
delivery.

HEAVIEST TRAIN OF
LAMBS SHIPPED OUT
FROM GIBBON RANGE

Mutton Is Sent to Chicago BY Smythe
Brothers; Price Received
| Is Is Cents.
What proved to be the heaviest
train OF lambs ever placed on the Chi
cago market, was shipped from Glib
bon the first of the month by Smythe
Bros. according to a letter received
here by Dan P. Smythe, one of the
members of the firm from the agent
In Chicago. Despite adverse condi-
tions, the animals weighed Sc pounds
and brought Is cents.
They were lambed at Arlington and
summered on the Wenaha national
forest at Gibbon. There were about
1900 in the lot, the offspring of
Hampshire rams and half blood Lin
coin Merino ewes, and were undoubt-
edly the best lambs ever coming out
of the northwest. !,
Mr.. Smythe believes that the ami
mails would have weighed around 90
pounds had 1t not been for the fact
that the railroad required 1914 hours
to move them from Gibbon to Wallu-
la. distance of Is miles and that
they were off feed for about three
days at one time. At that, they made
remarkable showing, he considers,
for the reason that the late spring
probably stunted their growth to
some extent.
The train was in charge of Marion
Van Schoaick, Smythe Bros. foreman.

RUNAWAY TEAM TAKES
PART IN IMPROVEMENT

The equine element of our popula-
tion are getting the spirit and have
entered into the crusade to clean up
Heppner proper in regard to the old
wooden awnings that have been dis
grace to the town these many years.
Saturday afternoon team, which
we understand belongs to Bob Thom-
son, took fright at something back of
the Palace hotel and made a bee line
across the street to the Herald Of
fee. Whether they were seeking ref
uge in the Herald Office or not, we
have not learned, but we do know
that they tore down all the wooden
awnings that formerly adorned the
front of that place and they did job
of it as good as any carpenter.
1t was lucky thing that none of
our citizens were passing by there at
the time or someone might have bene
hurt by the falling posts and boards.
Current events were taking place in
close vicinity of the press for few
minutes and brother Pattison didn't
even have to get up out of his office
chair to chronicle events.
Mr.. Thompson may be induced to
loan his horses to several other prop-
erty owners of the city in cleaning up
their premises. Their first job will
surely recommend them for future
orders.
