Texas Editor Views Charms of
County.

o. G. Crawford, editor of the Jo-
seph Herald, is doing his best to make
his brothers like Wallowa county. Re-
Gently Vawter Crawford of the Hepp-
ner Gazette Times was here with
friends and departed regretfully.
Last Sunday another brother, Garfield
Crawford, publisher of the National
Oil Journal of Fort Worth, Texas, ar
rived at La Grande with his daughter,
Jane, on a trip to the county. They
were accompanied on the trip by Mrs.
]. V. Crawford mother of the bro
theirs, and a resident of Enterprise
years ago when her husband was pas
tor of the Christian church and built
the present house of worship.
The visitors were met at La Grande
by o. G. Crawford who brought them
home in his car. They enjoyed every
foot of the beautiful road and Gar
field Crawford expressed the hope
that he could return for more eX-
tended visit later. He is very sue
cessful publisher with business COW
ering several states. While he was
stopping at Enterprise Monday morn
ing he met Asa Harmon of Leap on
the street. The two were boys to-
gether at Waitsburg, WASH, but nei-
ther would have known the other if
0. G. had not introduced them over
again.-Enterprise Record Chieftain.

Forest Fires Raging
In South End County

Large crews are working day and
night combating forest fires, two of
which are raging in the south end of
the county. One, on Mallory creek
is about 1900 acres in extent and is
rapidly coming under control. The
other, at the head of Rhea creek a
few miles above the Hamilton ranch,
is larger and according to the last
word received here was still beyond
the conrtol of the fighters.
The timber is so dry now that it is
hard proposition to control fire
there, and much credit is due the for
est service for the manner in which
they have put men on the job against
these two fires. Several car loads of
men and supplies have gone out from
here,

Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Moore have

"BlOated" Oil Journalist
Visits Old Home Town

Anyway his old-time sidekieks say
he's bloated, for in by-gone days
when he rusticated in these parts,
Garfield Crawford is remembered by
them as being rather of the lean,
lanky type, and he was not at once
recognized by many because Of his
present portly lines, when he visited
his cold hometown" this week Gar
field has been enjoying a fine time
hunting "old nesters" out Of their
holes and spreading the gaff" over
days when Heppner was still in its
swaddling clothes, and when many of
the good ladies of the town shook
their heads just little at the men
tion of his name.
Fifteen years ago Garfield left
Heppner to try his fortune in other
parts. Landing at Fort Worth, Tex
as, where an old cronie of his, Hep"
Blackman, was cartoonist with the
tarTelegram, he took a job as re-
porter on the same staff and thus
broke into the journalism field in the
Lone Star state. Ambitious always,
he was not satisfied to stay long at
the menial position of reporter, and
it was not long till he jumped to the
position of editor-but, of another
paper, and on his own hook. The
Critic was the heading under which
his new venture was launched, and
under which it sailed fairly smooth
sea until 1t was re-christened the
Texas Oil Critic and became an indie
pendent promoter of the interests Of
the vast Texas oil industry.
The Critic was a publication given
over mainly to free lance reflections
of doings about Fort Worth, and of
fered an opportunity for Garfield to
elaborate on his humorous and sar-
castle style of writing. 1t made con-
siderable OF "hit" but was not ex-
tremely remunerative. The oil de-
velopment near Fort Worth at this
time opened up greater opportunity,
and thus 1t was that the paper was
re-christened and threw its efforts in
to another channel.
Since establishing the Texas Oil
Critic, Mr.. Crawford has been con-
stantly in the oil paper publishing
game" consolidating several oil
journals, and editing respectively the
Texas Oil Critic, Texas Oil Critic and
Digest and the National Oil Journal,
each paper being absorbed by its sue
eessor. His present pet" is the Ma
tional Oil Journal, weekly 16-page
newspaper devoted to the interests
of oil investors. From the job of
reporter which he filled on first going
to Texas, Garfield has climbed to the
position where he now has 33 regular
employees on his payroll who help
make one Of the biggest oil papers
in the country, in connection with
which they do a good-sized job print
ing business.
Garfield also numbers among his
assets a fine wife and daughter. His
wife, Kitty Barry, who is writer of
considerable note in Texas newspaper
circles, was unable to accompany him
on his northern trip, but little Jane,
s years old, is enjoying with him the
visit with relatives here.

HEPPNER RDDEO
NEXT BIG EVENT
All Arrangements Completed for
First Exhibition Of Heppner's New
Show.-Three Big Days of Superb
Entertainment, September 2S-2s-30.

Rodeo days are drawing near, only
seven more days left to dig out the
sombreros, boots and spurs, and climb
on the dapple-hued pony headed for
Heppner town. A big time awaits you,
asserts C. W. McNamer, in charge of
arrangements, and no means are be-
ing spared to make the "wild west"
contests the best ever.
Everything is ready to go. The big
arena and race track at Gentry field
have been put in AL shape, and
bleachers built on the side of the nat
ural amphitheater that all may have
an excellent view of the performance.
A fine assortment of wild broncos,
steers, mules and bulls has been OBJ
tanned and will be brought to town
this week. Cowboy and cowgirl tai
ent capable to cope with the vicious
animals has also been lined up, as
we'll as many with fast racing stock,
says the management, and they as
sure a treat is in store for the spec
tators.
Two dances will be in progress at
the fair pavilions each evening. One
for those tame individuals who do not
care for the boisterous amusement of
the 40 dance, which will be carried
on in the adjoining pavilion, while
the 40 dance will take care of the
wilder strain who would be carried
back to the days of the six-shooter
and whiskey flask when each cattle
owner made his own law. Plenty Of
the old-time gambling games will be
carried on in the '49 pavilion at which
all may try their skill against chance
in exchange for Rodeo money. AT the
pavilions Rodeo money will be the
sole medium Of exchange, and will be
accepted for dancing and at all con-
cessions.
Liberal prizes will be awarded for
all events at the Rodeo. Two judges,
Chance Wilson and Robert Carsner,
have been appointed, who in turn will
choose a third, and 1t Is the sentiment

MORROW EXHIBIT
LARGER THIS YEAR
Seed Treating Machine 10 Be Sent by
Heppner Firm.-List Of Ex-
hibitors Given.
EAST 0regonian.)

Morrow county's exhibit at the
coming Northwest Hay and Grain
show, to be held here during Round
Up week, will be twice as large as
that of last year.
1t is expected that Morrow county
growers will take a number of prizes
as Burton II. Peck, of Heppner, won
first prize for Turkey Red and c. E.
Carlson of lone won first for Forty
Fold at last years show, while other

of the prize money for baled alfalfa.
An interesting feature from Nor
row county will be a seed treating
machine which is being sent by the
Heppner firm which makes it and
which will demonstrate during the
show. 1t is attached to the seed clean
er and runs with the same power. 1t
treats with copper carbonate and ar
rangements have been made to have
Umatilla county farmers bring in sew
eral loads Of wheat for treatment.
Saving Shown.
Last years treatment demonstrated
that copper carbonate controlled
smut on an average as we'll as other
treatments, that the plants were more
vigorous, growth was prompter, and
saved at least 25 per cent. II the
method proves satisfactory, at least
$4,000 bushels can be saved annually

one of the largest items is charged to
injury in termination.
