Eldest Daughter of
Editor Pattison Dies

Kathryn Pattison, aged II years, 6
months and days, eldest daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs S. A. Pattison of this city,
died on Tuesday, Julyl21921. at the
home of her parents. Funeral services
were held under the auspices Of the
Christian Science church of this city at
the Federated church at 200 o'clock
this afternoon, Mr.. C. L. Freeman off,
ciating. The remains will be shipped
to Portland tomorrow for incineration
at the Portland Crematorium.
Miss Pattison had been sick and con-
fined to her home for the past four
months, being compelled on account of
her illness, to miss the last three
months of school and to forego her
duties as editor of the High school pa
per. She was senior in Heppner Hign
school, secretary OF her class and
general favorite among the pupils.
Having stood we'll in her classes and
received the required number Of credits
she was granted her certificate of
graduation from the school, her class
mates all hoping for her early recovery
and full restoration TO health, that she
might be able 10 I.-.l7 .IasAsr studies and
realize her aspirations from an educa-
tional standpoint.
The immediate cause for death Is re-
ported as meningitis though she was
a sufferer in the beginning from neu-
ritis and undoubtedly passed through
a period of very severe pain before
death finally came to claim her as a
victim,
Kathryn was a lovely girl just
Nhlooming into womanhood. She was
dearly loved by a host of friends in
this community. all of whom are great
ly saddened by her untimely demise.

Morrow County Will Have Its
Biggest Average Yield Of Grain

From the early reports coming IN, it
is now evident that Morrow county Will
this season harvest its biggest aver
age yield of grain. Heretofore the av-
erage has never been far above 10
bushels per acre. but should the present
yield hold good we confidently expect
that ii will exceed ~ bushels for the
entire county. Thirty to thirty-hve
bushels are reported from different Sec
lions now and the threshing is Just get
ting well under way. Threshing is
now speeding up in the north end OF the
county. and there is every indication
that the lone. Lexington and Morgan
sections will have the largest yields in
their history, the lighter lands in many
instances bringing the average far
above former years. Some slight dam
age has occurred to spring sown grain
IN different parts OF the county, owing
to the recent hot spell. yet this will not
be in proportion to what it has been
other seasons.

MUCH Of DRY GRASS
ABOUT CITY BURNED
MayOr.-Under Direction of Fire
Chief Curraa Fire Risk Has Been
Greatly Reduced.

All business houses In Heppner glad
ly responded to the call Issued by May
or Noble for half holiday on Tuesday,
and there was a unanimous compliance
with the order to come out and help
clean up the catches Of dry grass all
over town. 1t was thought at first that
the half day would be sufficient to get
over all the city. but when the work
was started It soon developed that the
task was a bigger one than anticipated.
so it will be necessary to get out the
fire truck and tackle other portions
that could not be reached On Tuesday
AS it was, the most hazardous Sec
tions were burned over and the fire risk
on account Of the dry grass on vacant
lots and around residences and busi-
ness houses was reduced to the extent
Of about 30 per cent.
Under direction Of Fire Chief Mike
Curran, the fire truck with all available
hose and some Of the smaller hose
trucks were brought into use, and while
part Of the time there was a good
breeze blowing. the water was always
at hand and there was no chance for
the fire to get out Of control
There remains yet a large amount Of
dry grass on the side Of the hill Just
west Of the city and this was not tackl-
ed on Tuesday for fear that 1t might
get away from the fire fighters and get
into the grain on the hill. However
Chief Curran believes that he can ham
die this situation and will take hold Of
1t some quiet evening soon, when he
can put a Gordon of men along the cat
tie trail to keep the fire from getting
beyond and into the grain field. The
north end Of the city will also have to
be worked out.
There was revealed in the progress Of
the work Tuesday. the fact that there
Is a great deal of rubbish of one kind
and another piled up on various back
lots and thrown into back alleys, that
is a real fire menace. This should all
be gotten together somewhere and in
cinderated and this additional risk done
away with. We hope some steps will
be taken by the authorities to see that
this Is done right soon. Much of the
old lumber is useless and fit only for
kindling wood and the owners of this
should help to clean up by preparing
the stun for their kindling piles and
storing 1t away in the woodshed for
use during the coming winter. II they
are not disposed to do this let them
give it TO someone who will.
The mayor and Chief Curran are very
grateful to the citizens of the city for
their unanimous response on Tuesday.

GROW GOOD BEES AND
PRODUCE MORE HONEY

Professor II. A. Scullen, Of Corvallis
days during the last week is authority
for the statement that the state of Ore
gon at the present time produces about
sixty carloads Of honey each year
This is quite a surprise to many of our
local producers who are little in
clined to imagine that honey is sold by
the pound instead of the car load
When we figure what pound of honey
ordinarily costs when We buy it for
The table wee an easily conceive what
the immense returns are from this
quantity of honey.
There are many things which the am
atuer bee-keeper does not take into
consideration in the handling of his
colonies A good coat of white paint
is worth while to the hive; in the first
place 1t saves the hive from the wea-
ther; in the second place white as a
color throws off more heat than any
other color and the bees keep cooler
therein. In addition to this there should
be a shade board of some kind on TOP
Of the hive so that the bees in their
work house will be as cool in the hot
weather as possible. Another point
that should not be overlooked Is that
there should be ventilation between
the top of the honey frame and the top
Of the hive of at least half or three
quarters Of an inch. the cap, however,
should fit comparatively tight.
1t is not generally realized that the
tendency of Italian bees is to drift back
TO the small black bee that Is usually
called the German bee and as every
body knows a German bee is no good
A continued restocking of the hive Is
necessary to maintain the Italian
strain. The Italian bee is a better
worker than the Black bee and is not
so vicious and is more prolific.
The worker bee will, in the winter
months when there is no real work be-
Ing done live all winter but in the sum-
mer and during the busy season the
worker bee lives from six to seven
weeks only, while it is true the queen
does live all the way from four to sew
en- years yet an old queen is a very poor
asset to a hive.
Professor Scullen gives four funda-
mentals for profitable bee keeping:
lst.-Good working conditions.
2nd.-Good weather conditions.
Srd,-A flower crop for honey within
reach of the hive.
4th.-Storing instinct must be DOM
inent In the bee.
The second condition depends upon
location but anywhere in Morrow coun-
ty fills the bill Under the third, to
have flowers handy any of the creek
ranches or irrigation district ranches
can qualify. The first condition, a good
working force of bees requires real
care OF the hives and the securing Of
a good queen. Fourth, this is pretty
largely result Of good care and queen
as we'll There is no question but most
of the queens in Morrow county should
be killed off this fall and new queen
substituted. They will cost s1O0 or
$3.50 apiece but will undoubtedly be a
good investment as most of our bees
are wild bees only few imported bee
queens being in the county at the pre-
sent time
