OREGON AND MORROW
COUNTY IN FIRST PLACE
Henry Blackman Sees Great Future
For This Section-Says Heppner
Is Bound to Be Bigger
And Better.

Oregon is the greatest state in the
Union and Morrow county is the
greatest county in the state," said
Henry Blackman in brief interview
with Gazette-Times representative
while in Heppner on a short business
visit this week Mr.. Blackman ex-
poets to return to Scn Francisco Sat-
urday, but has been spending a great
deal of his time meeting friends and
acquaintances. Mrs. Blackman was
unable to make the trip to Heppner
with Mr.. Blackman at this time.
Speaking of conditions in Heppner,
Mr.. Blackman said: 'The Gilman
building and the new garage on Will
low street more than recompense for
the entire loss by fire in that sction
of town last May, to say nothing Of
the new residences that have been
built
"The town has steadily improved
since the big fire on the 4th of last
July and | note wonderful improve
ment here since my last visit s
months ago. In due time all marks
of the disaster will have been re-
moved and Heppner will be bigger
and better city in every respect.
Everything looks prosperous and
Morrow county is destined to become
one of the most prolific producers Of
wealth in the state" That Mr.. Black
man believes what he says about
TIeppner and Morrow county is shown
by the fact that he is backing his
Judgment to the extent of investing
everything he has, in property here.
Mr.. Blaokman says that all three
of their boys are now out of the SER

HEPPNER ALL-STARS
DEFEATED UMATILLA

The Heppner All-Stars continued
their winning streak by winning IL
to 9 from the heretofore unbeaten
nine from Umatilla, on the local dia-
mond last Sunday. The game was
closely contested throughout and
some good playing was put up by
both sides.
Lapham and Wilson, however.
proved invincible for the locals, the
former having excellent support at
all times. Blakeley, who has played
with Heppner in former years, was
on the mound for Umatilla.
The local team will meet the Pen
dleton Buckaroos on the home dia-
mond next Sunday and a great game
is the forecast.

1919 WHEAT CROP
IS BETTER THAN 1918
Farm Expert Estimates Yield at 300
Over Last Season. lone
Grain Coming Out.

After making pretty thorough
tour over the wheat fields of Morrow
county feel pretty safe in saying
that the yield will be at least thirty
per cent better this year than last. y
said F. R. Brown of the Farmers
Exchange in an interview with a Ga.
zette-Times reporter this week.
While the spring wheat will not
make as heavy a yield this year as
last, the fall grain will be much hea.
vier. Last year fields making 9
yield of 6 bushels and less per acre
were numerous but this year the
lighter fields will be making ten and
better"
Mr. Brown says he has viewed
some wonderful grain the last few
days. Some of this grain was just
in the boot about two weeks ago but
with such favorable weather condi
tions 1t is now filling nice,E. A
field Of bluestem wheat on the j. r
Jackson ranch will make between 2t
and 80 bushels. Mr.. Jackson also
has an excellent field of barley
| Turkey red In the north end of thu
county is looking mighty good ant
there will be lots of grain out tina
way.
Reports coming in from the Iont
country would contradict any re
ports heretofore given out that crops
were going to fail down that way
H. A. Cummins of the Bank of Ion,
says that wheat has made a wonder
full development during the last TIVE
weeks and the cool weather with ia
vorable growing conditions has mean
thousands of dollars to the farmer
there.
The light showers which VISITED
some sections over, the county las
week have gone a long ways towart
insuring the crop.

In Upper Gooseberry

Although grain will not make the
