PROSPECTS FOR RABBIT
CAMPAIGN ARE BRIGHT

County agent, L. A. Hunt, in COM
pany with D. L. Jamison of theUnit-
ed States Biological Survey, return
ed late Saturday night from trip
through the north end of the coun-
ty, where they visited with a num-
Der of districts where the rabbit
campaign will be put on in the next
few weeks. Mr.. Hunt reports that
excellent progress is being made.
All the different communities are
completing their quota in splendid
fashion and the most commendable
spirit is being shown.
Messrs. Hunt and Jamison made
a trip into Gillian county and held
a meeting at the lower Eight-mile
school house, where it developed
that a large number of rabbits north
of the Rock Greek station and around
Blalock on the Columbia river and
arrangements were made for call
ing meeting at Lone Rock. The
Gillian county men have taken the
stand that the rabbits on the John
Day river are a serious menace to
alfalfa fields so long as they are
within marching distance, and an
extensive campaign will be put on
to rid that section of these pests by
spring. The county agent will fur
nish poison and instruction for the
use of the same if people in the low
er Willow creek district who are in
terested, will put it out, A few re-
naming black tailed pests on the
breaks of the grain fields will fur
nish seed for future generations
and make additional expense to the
farmers and tax payers. Mr.. Hunt
hopes that everybody will give their
full cooperation towards furthering
the rabbit campaign, for the present
winter seems to be offering splen-
did opportunity for definite results,

WINTER OF 's9 WAS COLD

When the thermometer registers
zero, Heppner people SILVER a little
"s "sjmrIy.. I'D psild Up The fire. for
zero weather here is regarded as the
extreme in severe winters. However,
there have been winters in by-gone
years that have fingered as unpleas-
ant memories to many of our older
residents. Bruce Kelley says the
winter of 1889 was one of the cold
est on record. The thermometer fell
to 80 degrees below zero and stock
died in great numbers. Mr.. Kelly
says he recalls when the snap had
reached its highest point, A. D..
French drove a four horse team from
Rock Greek to Heppner and on up
Willow creek to the Kelley ranch
There were few harder men than Mr..
French and it is related that he made
the trip with apparently no discom-
futures.

CUTS TRAIN SERVICE
Sweeping Order Effects All Lines
Where Coal Is Burned-Sunday
Service on Heppner Branch
Discontinued

AS result of the Nations efforts
to combat with the present coal
shortage, passenger trains over the
country are being out off and in all,
about 1900 trains will be affected.
A number of coal burning trains on
the o. w. R. G. N. Co. come under

no Sunday train on the Heppner

GRANT COUNTY ROAD
.SURVEY IS STARTED
State Highway Engineers Now Busy
Picking Best Route For Per
manent Highway to In
terror.

The State Highway Commission
producing Holstein purebred from
Heppner-Grant County road which
was authorized by the Morrow Coun-
ty taxpayers of special election last
summer.
Surveyor H. B. Glaisyer of the
state highway engineering depart
ment, and a crew of men started
work the past week making the pre-
liminary survey. 1t is estimated
that it will taks several weeks to
comylete the work and that the sur
vey will cost Morrow County $4,000.
However this amount will be credited
by the highway commission to Nor
row county and will later be deduct
foed from the cost of actual road
construction.
Three feasible grades out Of Hepp-
ner to the top Of Heppner Hill are
being considered, and it is possible
that a five per cent grade may yet
be obtained. 1t is also planned to
eliminate several bad stretches a
cross Heppner Flat. The road will
follow up Rock creek from Hard
man along the most feasible route,
to Parker-Mill and thence across
Sun Flower Flat to a point on the
boundary line between Morrow and
Grant counties.
This highway, it is estimated will
cost in the neighborhood Of $4,000.
This is the amount voted apportion-
ed by the taxpayers for this road.
1t is one of the most important trade
arteries leading into Heppner and
will have a mutual benefit for both
territorities which 1t affects.

Heavy Mantle of Snow

Morrow county farmers, and espec-
tally those who were fortunate in
having their seeding this fall, are
expressing JOY over the big fall of
snow. A heavy snowfall in this
county, is as a rule, followed the next
year by big crops, and that history
will repeat itself again, is quite reas-
enable to believe.
The snow came at the moderation
of an extreme cold snap the first of
the week with four to six inches
covering the ground. Since then the
PRECIPITATION has been steady until
now about IS inches is piled up over
field and highway.
Stockmen generally are well pre-
pared for the winter, provided the
snow does not enforce too long a
