Bumps Wagon Of Highway,
Auto Put Out Of Commission

]. c. Owen was the victim of an
unfortunate circumstance last Thurs
day morning when ne was making
the initial trip on his new auto stage
schedule between Heppner and Ar
lington. No less victim, also, was
Nanny Pettys, young farmer resid-
ing on the Pettys farm this side Of
lone. Mr.. Owen had just passed
the site of the rock crusher about a
mile and half this side of lone,
coming upon Mr.. Pettys who was
driving to town in his wagon. Owen
was driving a big Hudson car and
had aboard six passengers. He whis-
tied but Pettys evidently did not
hear and before he realized it Mr..
Owen was up beside the wagon and
would apparently strike the front
end. He threw his brakes on and
the heavy car skidded into the wag-
on, crowding it off the grade and
smashing the front wheels. Mr..
Pettys and a small boy riding with
him were thrown to the ground but
received slight bruises only. Radi-
ator and fender on the car were
smashed and the auto has been in
the garage for repairs since, layin
Mr.. Owen off the job for the week
and causing him monetary loss, and
Mr.. Petys will probably have to
have new wagon. Mr.. Owen re-
grets the accident very much.

FARMERS EXCUR-
SION JUNE 23-25

The Morrow county wheat farmers
will make an excursion to the Shef-
man county experiment station on
Friday, Saturday and Sunday, June
23-24-25. The plans are to go by
way of northern Gillian county
crossing the John Day at Mcdonald
Ferry and going into Wasco Friday
afternoon, spending two or three
hours with some of the successful
farmers in the Gordon Ridge section
and going into Moro Friday night.
Saturday will be spent upon the ex-
pertinent station grounds with Su-
perintendent D. E. Stephens with
whom most of our farmers are be-
coming fairly well acquainted. Pos
sibly little time Saturday evening
will be spent with farmers in the
Moro vicinity and those who desire
can return home Sunday morning.
This will be most profitable trip
and one which business men who
have the farmers interests at heart
could we'll afford to take in as well.
No wheat farmer who can arrange
his work so as to get away can af-
ford to miss it. Ask Dwight Misner,
E. M. Hulden, R. w. Turner, or any
Of the other men who have been
there whether it pays or not.
Every car should travel loaded.
The county agents Office is arrang-
ing for the details Of the trip. If
you think you may be able to go drop
us a line and we will keep you in
formed and help see that all cars
are filed.

the same wages, and in some in
stances very slight reduction.

drivers, straw and wheat haulers and
tending header, $500; sack sewers,
combine drivers, and header-punch-
ers, $4,00; leaders, $3.50; separator
tenders (minimum), $500; cooks,

the French Burroughs place on Rhea
creek last Sunday. In the car with
him were two ladies and another
man and they went down the bank
for a distance of some 40 feet or
more. The car was not running fast

to leave the road is a mystery. The

Texas Governor Points Out
Superiorities Of His State
Especial to The Oil Digest. }


WACO, Texas, May l3.-Texas
Shriners became excited because a
California brother was guilty of
questioning the claim that the Texas
climate equalled that of California.
The excitement subsided when Gov
ernor Pat M. Neff, who contemplates
making the Shrine trip to California
in June, burst forth with the fol-
lowing reply:
There are only two things worth
mentioning in the world that Texas
does not contain and those are the
North and South Poles.
Texas occupies all Of the contin-
ent Of North America except an orn-
amental ruffle Of so-called States -
including California to the north and
rosette called Mexico on the south.
1T is bounded on the east by all
the world except the Pacific; on the
west it is bounded by the Pacific and
most of the sideral universe.
Under Texas is a subterranean
sea of natural gas and pure petro-
leum. Above il is most Of the sky
and all of the major consultations.
Texas is so big that the sun in
five hundred million years has never
been able to travel over il in less
than a day, and when it has finished
its journey, it is always ready to set.
"State Senators and Representa-
tives elected from the border coun-
ties travel for months to reach the
State Capitol at Austin, and are paid
millions of dollars in mileage fees
alone.
THE United States with Texas
separated from it would look like the
tail Of dog, with the dog amputated.
"A map in order to convey any
idea of the magnitude Of Texas
would have to be tattooed on the hide
of the largest elephant, the tail and
trunk being sufficient for the rest Of
the States in the Union.
Texas grows enough cotton every
year to wrap California in winding
sheet three miles thick.
"She has enough timber and hors-
es to supply chariot and four for
all California's risen dead on Resur-
rection morning.
''lf all the hogs in Texas were one
big hog, he could root California into
the sea with three roots, and his
soueaI would make the thunders OF
Niagara sound like a chicken with
the pip.
"If all the steers in Texas were
one big steer, he could stand on his
front feet in the Gulf Of Mexico, his
hind feet in the bay Of San Francisco
and brush lulu birds off the Golden
Gate with his tail.
'If all the he-men in Texas were
one man, he could carry the soil ol
California around under his fingel
nails.
"The glory of Texas, following the
sun and keeping company with the
hours, encircles the earth daily witt
one continuous and unbroken aurors
borealis."
