RHEA CREEK BOY
IS BURNED TO DEATH
Three Year Old Son of MIR. and Mrs.
T., G. Haverstick Consumed BY
Flames When Bunk House Is De-
strOyed by Fire.

Earl, the three year old son of Mr..
and Mrs. Il. G. Haverstick was burned
to death between 3 and 4 o'clock
on Wednesday afternoon at the Hav-
erstick home on Rhea creek, about
fifteen miles from Heppner.
Earl was the second of three chill
dren.
Mrs Haverstick was attracted to
the scene of the fire by the faint
- cries Of the boy. The bunk house,
which had tent covering was en-
quilted in flames. She made a frantic
effort to get the child and was badly
burned on the hands in her attempt.
Her screams brought the men hur-
rying from the fields and they arrived
in time to prevent the fire from
spreading to the house.
The floor of the bunk house had
been covered by wheat headings and
a mattress thrown over the top. Here
the harvest men had made their
beds. The night before the catas-
trophe, one Of the men had carried
some matches into the place and 1t
is presumed that the little boy got
possession of these and started fire
ir the bed clothing.
The funeral will be held from the
Christian church in this city Satur-
day morning at 10 o'clock. Relatives
will arrive from Bellingham, Wash,
to attend the services.

Heppner Men Capture Two
Jail Breakers Near Meacham

Two Of the six escapes from the
Umatilla county jail at Pendleton
were captured in the Meacham-Ka-
mela section last Saturday by two
Heppner men, Barney Develin and
John McCartan. The captured men
are Richard Patterson and Lewis
Anderson. According to reports, An
derson and Patterson we're worn and
haggard when they came up to the
McCartan and Develin sheep camp
and asked for food. They virtual
ly gave themselves up. The men had
lived for several days on nothing but
green oats, which they had picked
from the fields on the way from Pen
dleton to the mountains. McCartan
and Deyelin, who have charge OF
Frank Monahan's sheep in the noun
tains, were unarmed when the pair
walked in on them, but nevertheless
they took the guns from the escaped
prisoners while the latter offered no
resistance. McCartan and Develin
will receive $500 each as the reward
offered by Umatilla county for the
capture of Anderson and Patterson.
The men were first lodged in the city
Jail at Pendleton but later taken to
the county jail for safe keeping.

CONDON YOUNG MAN IS
VICTIM Of DROWNING
James Dinnen, Gillian County Sheep
man and Member of Heppner
Lodge of Elks Meets Death in
Tragic Manner.

James Dinnen, young sheepman of
Gillian county, met death in tragic
manner last Saturday night at the
James Murtha ranch on Rock creek,
by accidental drowning. This was the
verdict of the coroners jury.
Young Dinnen in company with
Matt Creegan and Chas. Dinnen had
gone for a plunge in Rock creek, the
swimming pool being one that had
been deepened and improved upon
by the boys. Creegan and Chas. Din
men left the hole first and upon look
ing back saw nothing of James.
Creegan Immediately made a dive,
locating the body of young Dinnen
but was unable to dislodge it to the
surface. Whether the body was held
to the bottom of the pool by suction
caused by seepage or whether it be-
came imbedded in the mud has not
been determined.
The funeral was held in Condor
on Tuesday morning at 1880 from
st. Catherin's church, service being
conducted by the Fathers Wand Of
Condor and Cantwell of Heppner.
Members of the Elk's lodge attended
in body, number of Elks from
Heppner being present.
Mr.. Dinnen was a very popular
young man. He was quite talented
and poet of ability. Many local
Elks will remember the recitation of
his poems at the time he was initia-
ted into the lodge here. He was a
member of the Knights of Columbus
and the Ancient Order Of Hibernians.
Mr., Dinnen is survived by two bro
theirs and two sisters, who live in
this country, residents of Gillian
county and relatives in Ireland.
Among Heppner people who at
tended the funeral were ]. G. Doher-
ty, NJ L. Curran, F. A. McMenamin,
Pat Connell, Pete Farley, James Far
ley, John Mcintyre, Frank Monahan,
Jas Sheridan, Mr.. and Mrs. Mike
Kenny and James and Joe Kenny.

FARM PRODUCTION COST
FOUND TO Be HEAVY
Farm Bureau Surveys Show Leading
Farmers Make only Modest Wage
Labor Incomes.

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
Wallis, Aug. 4.-The cost of produce
is being determined by the farm bu-
reaus of Malheur and Sherman coun-
ties.
In solving economic problems cost
OF production is fundamental item,
says the Oregon Farm Bureau New.
This has been too generally over
looked in farm economics" "
The cost of production survey OF
growing alfalfa in Malheur county
showed that most of the money made
by farmers there was on rising land
values. 1t was found that after al
lowance was made for interest and
normal depreciation of equipment and
other investments, the labor incomes
of more than so farmers were only
$1,000 a year.
Considering the size Of their in
vestments this labor should have
brought the farmers managers sal
aries rather than laborers' wages,
said the News.
The cost of producing wheat in
Sherman county was found to be
about S140 a bushel, ranging from
Sill to S1.94. This reduces the
labor income of the farmers far below
what it is generally thought to be
by the public.
The project of taking up cost pro-
duction work where feasible is re-
commended to the farm bureaus by
the News.

G. G. Patterson and Family
Will Move to Portland

After making Heppner their home
for twenty years, Judge C. C. Patter-
son and family are making prepara-
tions to move to Portland. They
expect to take up their residence in
the Rose City by the first of Septem-
Der, in order that Mary, young

may enter school on the opening date
Since retiring from the office of
county Judge, Mr.. Patterson has been
engaged in the insurance business,
which he built up to fairly large pro-
portions. He has sold his business
to J. A. Waters and Gay M. Ander-
son.
While the Pattersons expect to re-
main in Portland the coming winter,
they may decide to 60 east to Mr.

MANUFACTURERS AND
JOBBERS WOULD BOOST
PRICES ON CLOTHING
Special Assistant Attorney General
Tells of Propaganda That Is Being
Put Forth.

Washington--That manufacturers
and jobbers are putting forth propa-
ganda in an effort Ito stampede ie-
tailers and the public into renewed
fictitious demand" for clothing and
thereby force prices higher. is the
statement made by Howard e. Figg,
special assistant to the attorney gen.
eral in the enforcement of the Lever
law against proflteering.
"The department of Justice" said
Mr.. Figg, "is fully advised of the sew
eral phases of this carefully planned
campaign, and 1t only remains to
fix the personal responsibility before
applying the criminal provisions of
the Lever act"
Mr.. Figg said that the manufac-
turers and jobbers are even going te
the length Of guaranteeing the retail
trade against declining market"
He called attention to the instances
where mills have been closed for the
reason, he charged, of justifying mar
ket conditions on the plea Of under
production.
"The closing of mills is in turn
being used in the price propaganda, ;"
Mr.. Figg asserted. 1.-THE retailer in
turn, then, being threatened with fur
ther curtailment and higher prices II
he does not accept goods and order
on the present market"

COUNTY FAIR WILL NOT
Be HELD THIS YEAR

At the last regular meeting Of the
Morrow County Farm Bureau the
matter Of putting on some kind of an
agricultural fair was taken up. A
committee representing the Fair as
sociation met with the bureau and
after due consideration it was unan-
imously decided that, inasmuch as
the plans for an enlarged county fair
had failed to materialize for this
year at least, it would be mistake
at this late date to undertake to put
on a purely agricultural exhibit, such
as is so successfully carried on in var
ious states Of the Union. The men
present all felt that as the county had
planned for real fair there should
be real fair or no fair. It was there
fore decided to return the money re-
ceived for stock and give up the fair
for the present.
A committee was also appointed
to confer with the county court with
a view to providing for a fair next
year when the financial clouds have
somewhat disappeared. This commit
tee met with the court at their reg
ular monthly meeting on Wednesday
and report progress. They will meet
with the court at its next meeting to
work out final plans.

New Picture, Let's Elope"
Teaches Salutary Lessons

Salutary lessons to young brides
who think themselves neglected by
their hard working husbands and who
engage in more or less harmless fir
tations with other men, are embraced
in the development Of the story of
Lets Elope," the new Paramount
starring vehicle of Marguerite Clark,
which viii be presented at the Star
theater tonight. The theme is a fas-
cinating one and its treatment by
producer and star has been guided
by delioacy and taste with superb
effect.
The story is based upon Fred Jack
sons successful play, "The Naughty
Wife" which made big hit in New
York during the season OF 1918.
The adaptation was made by Rather
inc Reed and John s. Robertson di-
rected, The photography is the work
OF Hal Young, who is generally re-
cognized as a wizard with the lens.
The plot deals with young wife
of an author who believes herself ne
elected and plans to elope with shall
low-brained young man. How the hus-
band learns Of this and takes hand
in the subsequent proceedings COM
bines to make this one Of the greatest
comedies in which Miss Clark has
been seen in many day. Miss
Clark wears several stunning gowns
in this picture, all Of which will in
terest her women admirers.
One Of the strongest companies ey-
er assembled in support Of Miss Clark
appears in this picture. The cast is
headed by Frank Mills who plays op-
posite to Miss Clark. CASTOR Glass
has an excellent role and others in
the cast include Helen Green,
Blanche Standing, George Stevens
and Albert Busby.

PUBLIC IS JOLTED By
INCREASED RAIL RATES
Railroads Meet Wage Increase of Half
Billion Dollars BY Increasing Pas
senger and Freight Rates to a Bill
lion and a Half Dollars.

Old man public is again asked to
foot the bill. But he has been doing
it for so long that he is becoming
"stolid and stunned, a brother to
the OK as it were, and his added
burdens no longer affect his benumb-
ed soul.
The railroad companies, in order
to meet the recent wage increase of
$600,000,000 have been granted the
right to increase their freight and
passenger rates to the extent of ST.
500,000,000; passenger rates TAX
ing on an increase of 20 per cent
and freight rates on an average of
95 per cent.
These increases will become effect
i've within five days from filing of the
new tariffs and the railroads expect
to have all rates in force before the
first of September.

Filler Locklear and Aide Crash in Per.
forming for Movies.

Los Angeles, Aug. Lieutenant
Omar Locklear, noted stunt avia-
tor, and Lieutenant Milton Elliott,
his aide, were killed tonight when
their plane crashed from distance
of 1000 feet.
Locklear, who had gained the So

rector and started into nose dive.
A battery of searchlights was playing
on the machine and fireworks were
being set off from the plane by Lieu
tenant Elliott. When he had dropped
to within 200 feet of the earth Lock
lear was seen to attempt to straighten
his plane out. He was too low, how
ever, and crashed to the earth.

SHUTLER FLAT MAY Be
INCLUDED N PROJECT
Engineer Lewis Reports That New
Survey Is Obtained at 1850 Feet
ElevatiOn-Diyersion Damsite Sc
lected at Clano.

Shutter Flat, that level stretch of
country just south of Arlington, may
be included in the John Day Irriga-
tion Project, as Engineer Lewis re-
ports that it would be entirely FEAST
BILE to include that body of land under
the new high line survey which has
been obtained at an elevation OF
1850 feet.
However, before any action is TAX
en- in this regard, land owners resid-
ing on the east side of Willow creek
under the 1850 foot level, will be in
terviewed as to their desire of coming
into the project. The new line sur
vey will add strip of land from
three to five miles in width, or ap-
proximately 10000 acres to the pro-
ject. Engineer Lewis reports that
there is sufficient water obtainable
for 100000 acres, which just about
covers the project.
At meeting of the board of di-
rectors at the Office of Secretary F.
R. Brown in this city on Tuesday eve
ming, which was attended by directors
NJ. D. Clark, Ed Reitmann, and Mr..
Brown and Mr.. Lewis, the contract
ing engineer reported that Clarno had
been selected as the sight for the di-
version dam. He estimates that 1t
will require dam ESQ feet in height
to turn the water at the elevation
now deemed feasible.
In speaking Of the Shutter Flat
proposition, Secretary Brown pointed
out that this additional land is of
the best, being of heavy soil and cas-
lily developed.
The engineers have been running
levels on Rock creek during the last
week.
Petitions are now being prepared
for circulation among land owners
who may desire to bring their land
within the district.
F. C. billiard, assistant to Mr.. Lew
is in the field survey work was pre-
sent at the meeting. He is spending
a few days on lower Willow creek
looking over feasible sites for sup
Elementary storage reservoirs.

Explosion Arouses Owner in
Time to Save Car from Flames

A lieavy explosion at the John Pi-
per ranch recently was probably all
that saved Arnod Piper's Dodge car
as we'll as the garage and other ranch
buildings from being consumed by
flames. The explosion was heard by
Mrs. Piper about six o'clock in the
morning and other members of the
family were aroused. Arnold rushed
to the garage in time to find his car
In flames. The fire had started from
a shorted electric wire, had burn
ed the insulation off the wires, burn
ed up foot board and had spread
to the floor Of the garage. The ex-
plosion was caused when the vacuum
tank blew up. The fire spread from
the tank to the floor. Mr. Piper sue
ceeded in putting out the fire before
1t did serious damage.
