HONEY PHILOSOPHY FOR 1922.

The best way to entertain man is
not to entertain him at all. Don't make
yourself a four-fusher by giving him a
better dinner than you always have. But
give him what you have cheerfully. Then,
too, your guest knows you've got to work
for living and have lots of things to
do, SO go an do them, telling your friend
to do exactly what most pleases him till
you get finished.
Dor. be afraid to say what you think
and don't agree If you don't agree, but
don't expect your guest to agree with
you because you're entertainin' him. Just
widen out. Let love an tolerance be
King and Queen of the home while the
guest is with you, and then maybe you
won't be able to throw them out after he
is gone.

Charms Of Northwest
Attract Many Tourists

Over the highways leading into Ore
gon, Washington and British Columbia
there has been pouring for the last two
months a veritable stream of motorists,
lured hither by the pictured charms Of
the Pacific Northwest and by the stories
they have seen and heard of the beauties
and pleasures of Americas Summer
Playground" Cars bearing the PEN
nants and license plates of almost every
state can be seen by watching any Of the
principle highways for few hours-big
cars and little cars, some dust-covered
and loaded with camp equipment, others
shining and unburdened except for light
luggage.
Every west-bound transcontinental
train and the steamer lines running to
the coast ports likewise have been bear
ing their crowds of tourist visitors,
many of whom have come to the Pacific
Northwest to secape the intolerable heat
Of the inland and southern districts, or
who have been eager to spend their va
cations among the mountains or along
the many water-courses of this wonder
land.
Reports from various sections Of the
Pacific Northwest indicate that this
tourist travel both by auto and by rail
is much heavier than in any previous
year and inquiry among the travellers as
to why they chose this for their vacation
trip shows that large numbers of them
we're attracted by the advertising and
publicity campaign of the Pacific North
west Tourist association.
"a noticeable feature of this years
auto travel" states Frank W. Guilbert,
of Spokane, one of the most active good
roads enthusiasts of this district and a
recognized authority on auto travel, ''is
the high class of the people who are mo-
toring to the Pacific Northwest this sea-
son. They seem to have more money
and a larger percentage Of them are
stopping at hotels"
Inquiries about touring conditions
continue to pour into the Office of the
Pacific Northwest Tourist association
from all sections of the country, and
even from foreign lands. One cores
pondent from Forfar, Scotland, has just
written al have just read in the New
York Tribune, copies of which relatives
in the United States are kind enough tc
send me regularly, your splendid adver-
tisements of the Pacific Northwest" and
asks particularly for literature-partic'
ularly the booklet on "golfing."

Western Larch Source
Of Fuel For Flivvers

Western larch has been found by gov
ernment forest experts to be one of
the most valuable sources for motor
fuel. This announcement has just been
received at the Portland Office of the
Forest Service from the Forest Products
laboratory of the U. S. Forest Service
at Madison, Wis, where experiments
have been carried on for some time. This
should be of particular interest to lum-
bermen of the Northwest, for according
to Forest Service estimates, the National
Forests alone in Oregon contain 1885,
100000 #. B. M. of western larch while
the National Forests of the state of
Washington contain 1,550,000,000 #. of
this species, or total Of over billion
feet for National Forest areas alone
in these two states.
Forest experts say that experimental
lamentations of sugars obtained from
western larch indicate that this wood
is one of the most valuable sources of
ethyl alcohol. By careful regulation
of temperature and acidity and by find
ing the proper yeast, the Forest Pro-
uuCbs lduoldtOiy Hds suSSetuSu III Soh-
verting into alcohol not only the sugars
obtained from a hydolysis of the cellu-
lose but also large proportion of the
galactose sugar obtained from the ga
lactan in the wood.
The above, to the every day American,
means that some day he may get ethyl
alcohol from western larch to run his
flivver with, for the total alcohol yield
obtainable from western larch has been
found to be at least 3S gallons per ton
of dry wood, or almost 10 gallons per
ton more than that of any other wood
studied.
The production of ethyl alcohol from
any source is of particular Importance
in view of the impending shortage of
motor fuel; and the fact that western
larch is so productive a source of this
material is of especial interest to the
Pacific coast lumber industry since 1t
affords a means of utilizing not only the
waste but also the large quantities OF
butt logs of high galactan content now
left in the wood, Forest officers believe
that the paper industry should also be
interested in the fact that galactose
from larch can be fermented, for by ex-
tracing galactan from larch chips be-
fore pulping, quantity of sugar easily
converted into ethyl alcohol can be OBJ
tanned.

Bishop R. L. Paddock
Says He VIII Quit
Head of Eastern Oregon Diocese Of
Episeopalian Church Says
Heart Is Broken.
(Morning oregonian, Aug. g.

HOOD RIVER, Or, Aug. Tin pri-
vate letters to friends here Right Rev.
R. L. Paddock, bishop of the eastern
Oregon diocese of the Episeopalian
church, who is facing charges of dis
loyalty because Of alleged failure TO
wear church robes at services, has an
nounced that he will tender his resigna-
tion at the convention Of the church In
Portland in September. He has declar-
ed his health is broken by a nervous
breakdown. In letter to an old friend
and neighbor, Captain C. A. Schetky,
Bishop Paddock said: II have always
looked upon eastern Oregon as beloved
child. These charges have broken my
heart"
Bishop Paddock, who made Hood Riv-
er his home, stands in the highest es-
TEEN among Episcopalians and the gen.
eral public here. News of the charges
against him created general discussion
today, and numerous expressions Of re-
gret were heard.
Bishop Paddock" said R. B. Bennett,
member of the bishops committee of st.
Marks church here, "has been the life
of the church in our district. He has
been performing a great work in east
ern Oregon, and we resent these
charges, so obviously trivial, which, new
ertheless, have demanded so much Of his
time and attention the last year, that
they have broken his health"

Incendiary Fire Destroys
973 Sacks Threshed Grain

Fire of an incendiary origin destroyed
threshed wheat at seven settings on the
W. B. Finley place, north of Lexington
Sunday night, the property of Messrs.
Duvall & Norton, lessees of the place.
1t is estimated that 973 sacks of
threshed grain are totally destroyed.
The grain had just been threshed at the
seven settings and the machine had
moved to the eighth setting in another
part of the field. The method of cutting
and threshing was followed and there
was no grain in the stack to be burned,
but the sack piles being close to the
straw II was not difficult to produce fire
enough to destroy the grain.
There is no doubt in the minds of the
officers that the fire was the work Of an
incendiary, as the footprints leading
from one setting to the other were very
visible Monday morning when Sheriff
McDuffee visited the Finley place, but
just who the party or parties could be
the renters of the farm have no idea,
not being aware that they had enemies
in the country who would be so mean as
to do them injury in this manner.
The loss is partially covered by in
surance, but there will be no salvage Of
the seven settings of grain.

VIC. T. u. Farm Home
To Have Two Cottages

The plan of the Oregon W. C. 7. U.
for the establishment Of a Protestant
home for Oregon's dependent children,
which should be all that the words
christian Home" suggest, has seemed
to many of its watchers to move slowly.
Launched at a time Of unsettled indus
trial and commercial conditions and
when the unemployment situation SEEM
ed to call for an unusual amount of
charitable aid in all directions, it has
yet succeeded beyond the hopes of its
proponents. 1t has always been the pol
icy of the W. C. T. U. to look well to
foundation work. Because Of this it has
succeeded in all its great undertakings,
and its Farm Home, located near the o.
A. c. and with the pledged help of all
its faculty, will be no exception to the
rule
At recent meeting of the board in
Portland, the architects plans for the
first two cottages were accepted and the
building committee instructed to pro-
ceed at once to the erection of both cot
tages II possible. Funds are in bank
for more than the first one and it is hop
ed that enough more will be paid in to
warrant the eeonmoy Of constructing
both at once. Besides this both boys
and girls are on the waiting list" and
must be separately housed, so says the
Child Welfare commission.
In conenction with the board meeting,
luncheon was given in honor of A. C.
Schmitt, president of the board who has
just returned from the East where he
went in the interests of the home. He
reports that "Mooseheart," near Chica-
go, housing 100 children of all ages and
operated on identical lines with the one
proposed for Oregon, is an unqualified
success. Among the distinguished guests
who honored the W. C. T. U. at the lun-
cheon we're Mayor Baker of Portland,
President Landers Of the State Normal
school, Mr.. Geo. Ehinger, secretary of
the Child Welfare commission, Will
Hale, former head of the State Indus
trial school, II. Hirschberg, treasurer Of
the board and Mrs. Stephen A. Lowell
of Pendleton. Mrs. Ada Wallace Unruh,
financial director, presided. Prominent
fraternal organizations and the churches
are solidly behind the home.

COAL SHORTAGE IS
CERTAIN THIS WINTER.
Railway Age Points Out Facts Regard
ing Coal Situation and Shows Rail-
roads VIII Not Be Responsible.

CHICAGO, Aug. 9.-Certain spokes-
men for coal operators are already at
tempting to place the blame for the coal
shortage that is sure to come upon the
country's railroads, the Railway Age
poinst out in leading article.
There is going to be coal shortage"
says the Railway Age, "there can be no
possible question about that now. 1t
will come no matter how soon the coal
strike is ended; in fact it is already
here in some parts of the country. The
only question is how serious it will be-
come.
at has been the custom of certain
spokesmen of the coal operators when a
coal shortage existed or was threatened,
to try to put all the responsibility for
it upon failure of the railways to move
all the coal offered them. They even
did this after the great coal strike in
November and December, 1919. They are
starting to do it again.
"The strike on the coal mines began
on April l. Up to that date there had
been produced by the mines and moved
by the railroads this year 129 1900 ,OOO
tons of bituminous coal. This was 2S,-
100000 tons more than in the same per
iod in 1921. In the four weeks before
the coal strike the average tonnage Of
bituminous coal moved by the railway
was 10,T14,000 tons. If the railways had
been given opportunity to move coal al
that rate until their own strike began
on July /, there would not now be any
danger of coal shortage.
"lf the coal strike should end today
the railways could Immediately increase
by 100 to $50 per cent the amount Of
coal they are transporting regardless:
of the shop employees strike. That would
not be sufficient to Offset the effects al
ready produced by the coal strike, but
it would be sufficient to meet all the
country's really pressing needs for fue'
except possibly in the Northwest.
"lf there is any industry in this coun
try which would be justified in denounc.
ing the coal strike and its results anC
everybody responsible for it it is the
railroad industry, The railroads viii
have their traffic demoralized by it anC
| because they are the largest consumer:
of coal will have their operating expen
ses increased more by it than any othel
industry.
so far as we know, no criticism o,
the coal operators because the Goa
strike prevented the production an,
transportation of 81 100000 tons of Goa
in the first thirteen weeks it was in ef
feet has yet come from any railroad
source, although it would have been eas!
to have found grounds for such criti
cism. The coal industry will be wei
advised If it influences those who speal
for it to be as reserved in what they sa.
about transportation conditions in fu
ture as persons connected with the rail
ways have been in what they have sal,
recently about conditions in the Goa
mining industry.

Newsy Forest Notes
Of Gmdane District

The Gurdane Base Line trail has been
completed to Brown prairie making a
completed trail for nearly nine miles.
The brush is being piled and will be
burnt as soon as the weather conditions
make it safe. The entire trail has been
constructed on a grade that may be
followed should the trail later be widen
ed into a road and graded for cars and
at the same time has closely followed
section lines.
A new lookout station has been erect
ed upon the top of Arbuckle mountain.
The station consists of platform seven
and half feet square enclosed by
railing placed in the top Of large FIR
tree. The platform is ninety feet from
the ground and is supported in the tree
by a steel crows nest frame. A new fire
finder has been placed. Homer Landers
| is the lookout man at Arbuckle and Is
much pleased with his new quarters
except when a strong wind sweeps across
the top Of the mountain.
band of sheep belonging to Guy
Boyer of Heppner recently piled in the
Rush creek region and sixty-three were
killed.
Several fire alarms had the forest Of
icers of the district on horse back sew
eral times last week. Two of the alarms
proved genuine. A small fire was discov-
cred and suppressed about two miles
southwest of the Gurdane sawmill, the
other was on the west side Of the Pot
anus below Brush creek. Both fires
i, were caused by lightning.
1t is planned to begin work on a new
telephone line to extend from Ellis
Ranger station into the southern part Of
the district. A new administrative site
| will be laid out, probably on lower Mat
lock creek, and horse pasture fenced.
This improvement will greatly facilitate
the administrative work of the district
and will be a valuable link In the fire
control system.

OUTLOOK FAVORABLE
0RLOCAL ROUNDUP
Enthusiasm Runs High at Meeting Last
Evening.-Committee on Arrangements
Reports $3.50 Available to Start Ball
Rolling, and Given Full Charge to
"Put 1t Over"

"If they tell US to go ahead, we'll put
it over" said C. W. McNamer, chairman
OF committee on arrangements.
"You bet!" asserted L. v. Gentry, fel-
low committeeman.
This is the spirit Shown by the men
given full charge to carry out the detail
work of the local roundup to be held
the last three days in September, or near
that date. Funds to the amount of SOTO
have already been subscribed and Mr..
McNamer said without hesitancy that
$1250 would be available as working
fund to start on.
c. W. McNamer, L. V. Gentry and C.
H. Latourell, the committee on arrange
ments, was retained as a committee to
manage the detail work of putting on
the show, at the meeting last evening.
1t was the opinion of Frank Gillian,
who made the motion for their reten-
tion, that these men were doing mighty
good work and ought to be allowed to go
through with it, and not be handicapped
by any more committees. This spirit
was unanimously sustained and all pre-
sent promised their loyal support.
"We intend for this to be a Morrow
county get-to-gether and not just a
Heppner bucking show" said Mr.. Cen
try. Although the men in charge had
not yet thought of name for it they
promised they would have an appropri-
ate one in a few days. As soon as a
name is given it and date set all Nor
row county and neighboring counties
will be told about the show good and
strong and a great incentive given them
to attend.
Heppner is blessed with natural am
pitheater in which the roundup will be
staged. A quarter-mile race track in
closing a good tough turf for the buck
ing contests and stunts will be put in
first class shape Immediately, and
bleachers and grandstand erected where
everyone will have an excellent view of
the performance. 1t is the plan of those
in charge to have a system whereby
there will be something doing every min
ute, and no lapse between numbers.
The pavilions at the fair grounds will
be obtained for dancing in the evening
and other things which the committee
have in mind, which will be made known
later. Concessions will be made at the
grounds, and here visitors will be royal
| ly entertained during the evening hours
people attending the show will have
plenty of entertainment all the time, say
the men in charge, and they don't intend
for things to slack up minute. A good
band will be on hand to furnish music
and it is planned to have outside amuse.
ments sufficient to satisfy all wants.
Close management is the aim of the
committee. J. j. Nys, local attorney, has
donated his services as secretary-treas.
urer, and Chairman McNamer said that
whether the show paid out or went be-
hind there would be set of books tt
show for it, They have no intention Of
going behind, however, and If they re
ceive the support of the community
of which indications are favorable, the,
believe they can put it over big.
Chairman McNamer has given Mr.
Latourell charge of concessions and Mr.
Gentry charge of field operations.

John B. Natter passed away at his
home in Heppner at 10 o'clock p. m, Fri
day, August 4. Mr.. Natter had only
been bed fast for about ten days, and
many Of his friends in this city, though
knowing that he was failing fast the
past few months, were not fully appris-
ed of his serious condition and the an
nouncement Of his death came as a sur
prise to them. Just two weeks before
he had been able to be on the streets,
and walked down to the barber shop for
shave. Death came peacefully and
without a struggle after a long deep
sleep into which he fell Friday morning.
The excessive heat Of the last few weeks
had apparently had a very depressing
effect on him and he was weakened much
by it.
John Baptist Natter was born in Mel
lau, Tyrol, Austria, June 27, 1895, and
died in Heppner, Oregon, August 4,
1922, aged 81 years, one month and 8
days. He came to the United States at
the age of 10 years, making his first
settlement at Galena, Illinois, where he
remained for five years. In 1859 he pro-
ceeded by the way of the Isthmus of
Panama to California, coming to Ore
gon in 1868 and residing in different
portions of the state since, living for
time at Portland, Albany and Pendle-
ton before coming to Heppner, where
he has made his home for the past forty
years, arriving here in the spring of
1882.
Mr.. Natter engaged in business in this
city continuously for great many years
and accumulated a comfortable compe-
tence. For long years he was promi-
nent in the affairs of the First National
bank as director and vice-president, on
ly resigning the latter position a short
time ago on account of falling health.
He retired from other active business
pursuits about twenty years ago but was
always looked upon as one Of the most
substantial business men of the county
and had formed strong friendships
among the people with whom he associa-
ted for the greater portion Of his active
business life. He was q member of Hepp-
ner Lodge No. 1858, B. P. 0. E. with which
order he ras affiliated a good many
years ago.
On February S, 1876 Mr.. Natter was
united in marriage to Anna Mathilds
Meinert. To this union twin sons were
born, both of whom are deceased, Joseph
passing away in infancy and Fra-.k at
the age of % years. He is survived by
his widow, Anna NJ. Natter and niece,
Katie Meinert.
Funeral services were held on the
lawn at the residence on Sunday after
noon at 300, Rev. Gallagher, pastor Of
the Congregational church at Lexington,
delivering the address, and burial was
in the family plot at Masonic cemetery
under the auspices of the Benevolent
and Protective Order of Elks.
