When the car begins to skid the only thing the operator can do is to turn the steering wheel the direc- ton of the skidding, with little or no pressure on the brake. This Will correct the skid before damage IS done, provided the speed Is not too great. Another way to prevent skid ding is to leave the clutch engaged and the engine pulling slightly when the brake is applied. The slight pull of the engine when the brake is ap- piled prevents the locking of the rear wheels and in that way pre- vents skidding in large measure.

So startling was the debut of the new special 6-54 roadster of the Buick line at the New York show that H. H. Bassett general manager of the Buick Motor company. will be forced to revamp the production schedule on the model. In telegram to c. B. Durham, assistant general manager, Mir. Bassett said that he be- lieved the company, largely because of the roadster model, was about to enter on period of immense Increase in sales and that every effort would have to be exerted to keep produc- tfon up to the demand.

Candidate For Joint
Senator Visits Here

Henry ]. Taylor, pioneer wheat
grower and farmer of Umatilla coun-
ty, whose home is at Pendleton, was
in Heppner over Tuesday night, and
remained here for short time on
Wednesday forenoon, meeting his old
acquaintances and friends and max
ing new ones. His visit to Morrow
county at this time was in behalf OF
his candidacy for joint senator OF
Morrow, Umatilla and Union counties
he being the nominee of the Demo
cratic party for that Office.
Mr.. Taylor was accompanied by W
j. Wattenburger of Echo, who while
being a Republican of long standing
says that he will support Mr.. Taylor
because of his firm stand on the tax
alton question Mr.. Taylor stands
high In business and fraternal circles
at Pendleton and is considered very
solid and substantial gentleman. He
has been on the retired list, largely
for a number of years past, so far as
running the farm is concerned, yet he
is active in business affairs in Pend
Teton and is a stockholder and direc'
tor in the Inland Empire bank Of that
city, besides having other business
interests. He informed this paper

MIR. Gilman Found
Abundant Fruit Crops

Recently D. E. Gilman, accompanied
by Dan Barlow, made trip over into
the Washington country, going almost
as far north as the boundary line.
Going from Heppner to Arlington,
where he was accompanied by Mrs.
Gilman who was on her way to attend
the national convention Of the W. R.
C. at Des Moines, Iowa, and took the
train for the east at that point, the
gentlemen proceeded down over the
Columbia Highway to Portland, cross
ed over at Vancouver and proceeded
up the north bank of the Columbia,
stopping the first night at Home Val
ley, near Carson. They crossed over
the mountains here to Goldendale,
where, by the way, Mr.. Gilman noted
that very short grain crops were the
portion of the farmers of the Kick
itat Valley fer this season; going on
through the Yakima Valley, the Sc
cond camp was at Blewett Pass, and
then the journey led on to Wenatchee,
Lake Chelan and 0kanogan City
where nice visit was had with Frank
Farnsworth and family, and this was
followed by a run through River
side and on to Tonasket and 0raville,
and back to 0kanogsn for the night,
leaving on the return journey at $500
O'Clock the next morning, Yakima was
reached that evening and the next day
back to Heppner. The distance on the
trip was 1850 miles, made in the Gil
man Overland, Gene says, on IS miles
to the gallon Of gasoline.
From Yakima to Wenatehee, the
route Travelled, 1t Is almost one con-
tinuous apple orchard, and the crops
this season are very abundant. Yaki-
ma will ship 10000 cars Of apples,
and yet Mr.. Gilman was informed that
the producers will make no profit this
year on their abundant crop, though
they do expect to break even. He
found money no easier there than
here, and there was just as much or
more complaint concerning hard
times.

j. Of O.-WHITMAN
GAME At PENDLETON
Two Northwest Conference Football
Teams To Play Friday, October 20.
Many Heppner Alumni and Fans
Will Attend.

Eastern Oregon football fans and
residents Of Heppner are much in
terested in the coming game between
the University of Oregon and Whit
man College which is to be played in
Pendleton on Friday, October goth.
Both teams have developed a sur
prisingly strong early season organi-
zation and the game promises to be a
real battle. Whitman, with q power
full line and veteran baekfeld, dis
played unexpected strength against
the University of Idaho in the recent
game at Walla Walla, when the Gem
Staters were able to defeat the Mis-
sionaries only by to 0 score which
resulted from drop kick by Fitzke.
On defensive the Whitman eleven was
a tower of strength and the Idaho
team was unable to pierce the Whit
man line at any period of the game to
any advantage. Coach Vincent Bor-
leskie, of Whitman, states that in his
belief by 0ctobre 10th he will have a
much stronger team than he had last
year when he won the Northwest Con-
ference championship.
The University of Oregon eleven
gives promise of being the strongest
team the Eugene institute has had
since the championship 1916 team,
when it was rated as one of the great
est teams in the United States. Al
ready it has powerful backfield with
two sets of baekfeld stars, either Of
which is almost equally dangerous.
In early season games Oregon has
shown that her team is to be serious
ly reekoned with in the Coast Foot
ball Conference this season.
Plans are being made for a gala
affair in Pendleton on the goth and
indications are that the largest crowd
that ever witnessed an athletic event
in this section of Eastern Oregon or
Washington will be in Pendleton on
that date. Reservations are pouring
in from every part of Eastern Oregon
and Washington. The game will be
held in the Roundup Park at 2:30
p. m. Railroad connections with the
various towns are so that it will be
possible at almost any point in East
ern Oregon to leave home and return
after the game the same day. The big
celebration will be closed with a
dance at the famous Happy Canyon
pavilion Although open to the gen.
eral public yet it will be grand re-
union of all former University of Or
egon and Whitman students.
Many former students Of the two
participating schools and football
fans of Heppner are making plans to
be present at the game, and several
car loads of them will go over to PEN
dleton a week from tomorrow.

OREGON DELEGATES
HOLD CONFERENCE
Recommendation Made That 1921 Pool
Be Declared Closed Now.
(The producer)

The district delegates of the Ore
gon Cooperative Grain Growers held
meeting in the Offices of the asso-
citation, in the Fitzpatrick building, at
Portland, Oregon, last week The del
egates present we're:
A R. Shumway, Milton; j. W. Dyer,
Mayvill, W. ]. Edwards, Condor; Joe
Devine, Lexington, Ralph Benge,
Heppner; Howard Anderson, Hepp-
ner; Fred Krusow, Grass Valley; V.
H. Smith, Wasco; Charles Harth, The
Dalles; A. V. Swift, Baker; W. N.
Downing, Shaw; J. E. Reynolds, pres
ident, La Grande.
The delegates considered the gen.
eral routine business of the associa-
tion and studied the reports of last
years operations as presented by
Whitfield Whitcomb & Co., certified
public accountants, who were appoint
ed by DR.. Kerr, president of the Ore
gon Agricultural college, regularly
to audit the books of the various assc-
Citations and found everything in or
der.
The board recommended to the
Northwest Wheat Growers Associat-
ed, which was afterward adopted by
them, that the 1921 pool be declared
closed, and that the auditing depart
ment of the associated Immediately
prepare to render to the various
states interested, the final accounting,
so that the states could render their
final accounting to the growers. They
thought that it would be possible to
close the business up now probably
by the first of December.
The Oregon board reported that
they had received up to October l,
1,750,000 bushels of wheat in the pool,
which, measured with the 2,500,OOO
bushels of last year, was a very fav-
cradle showing. The percentage of
the total wheat brought by the farm
ers this year was larger than last
year due to the fact that the crop was
SO short this year.
The Oregon board adjourned to
meet November a.
Mr.. Jewett, who just returned from
the east was present at the meeting
and gave to the directors a general
report of the conditions which en-
Unused them very much over the pros
pect of cooperative marketing.
The second boat which the associat-
ed states of the northwest are loading
is now in the river, and the second
export cargo from Portland will soon
be on its way to foreign markets.

Takes Life
With High Power Rife

Edward A. Clarke destroyed his life
with high power rife at the home
Of Dick Lahue, just south Of town on
last Thursday evening, while in q
mentally unbalanced condition. He
was alone in the house at the time,
and getting hold Of the gun, stepped
into the woodshed, placed the muzzle
OF the weapon in his mouth and
pulled the trigger. The impact near
ly blew his head off and left a hole
in the back Of the head sufficiently
large to receive a mans fist.
George E. Sperry and Glenn Hayes,
who were going by the place, were
asked by Lahue to look into the wood
shed and see what had happened, as
he was some distance from the house
and had left Clarke there alone. The
men found Clarke had taken his life
in the manner stated, and the author
tiles we're notified. Coroner Case held
an inquest on the body Friday and the
jury returned verdict that the man
had come to his death by a gunshot
wound, the shot being fired by his
own hand.
Clarke's act was evidently caused
by his respondent condition. He was
a one-armed man, and for many years
had suffered much from heart trouble.
He was ambitious to work, but his
physical condition would not permit
Of this, and he often became despond-
ent over his condition, and drank a
great deal, though a fine fellow and
well liked by all who knew him when
not in his cups. He came here from
Fossil year or two ago, and had fol-
lowed sheepherding great deal. So
far as is known here, he had no rela-
tives. His funeral was held from St
Patrick's church in this city Monday
morning.

Work Of Bonus Board
Is Now Cleaned Up

The Morrow county appraisers Of
the state bonus commission have
cleaned up all the business before
them, so we are informed by s. E.
Notson. The board of appraisers for
this county consisted of Mr.. Notson,
Frank Gillian and Judge W. T. Camp
bell, and with the few appraisals
made during the past week, all the
work before them in this county has
been completed,
Mr.. Notson further states that
practically every application acted
upon in the county has been allowed
by the commission, and the local
board has performed its work on a
basis of charging up to the applicants
their actual expense only, though the
last-ssevidcs they are to be paid GER
tain fees for their work.
We doubt very much if any county
in the state can boast more faithful
and conscientious board of appraisers
than the Morrow county board. They
have done faithful work, and there
certainly can be no cause whatever
for complaint.

MAKESSTATEMENT
Democratic Nominee Of Umatilla
County Is Consistent Advocate
of Tax Reduction.
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
Being a candidate for the Office Of
Joint Senator from Morrow, Umatilla
and Union Counties, and having re-
ceived the nomination at the hands
of the Democratic party in these
three counties. deem it only fair to
make myself clear as to where ]
stand.
In the frst place, am consistent
advocate Of tax reduction and favor
the strictest economy in the expendi-
ture of the peoples money and lib
eral support of public schools.
l am opposed to the School Mon
opoly Bill for the reason that its
adoption will mean the outlay and ex-
penditure of about s3,000,O00 for ad-
ditional school buildings and equip
ment. and an annual expense for in
terest and maintenance of about $2,-
100000 more in addition to the al
ready intolerable load of taxes now
upon US and for the reason that ii
would destroy parental authority and
deprive the citizens of the constitu-
tional guarantee of religious freedom
and of the right to give their children
religious education in addition to
the education afforded in the public
schools.
Respectfully,
HENRY ]. TAYLOR.

ALPINE FARM BUREAU
BEGINS FALL WORK
First Meeting Of Season Held Satur-
day Evening-There Is Lively Dis
cussion Of Pending Measures, Also
Market Road Completion.

The first meeting of the season Of
the Alpine Farm Bureau was held in
the schoolhouse on last Saturday
evening, and was quite we'll attended
by the people Of the community. both
men and women. County Agent CAL
kins was also present and took live
ly part in the proceedings. A mem
br of the CT. staff accompanied him
and was also pressed in for some Of
the talk.
The program was arranged mainly
by R. E. Cherick, teacher Of the Al
pine school, who, by the way, we men,
toned in last issue as being principal
Of the Pine City school, an error for
which we apologize. II being near to
election time, the measures that will
appear on the ballot seemed appro-
pirate for discussion, and each one of
these was handled in pretty thoro
manner; single tax, income tax,
school bill and all received their just
proportion Of attention and there was
some pretty lively talk before all had
their say, but the ladies present could
not be pressed in. They had come to
serve refreshments Of cake, sand
wiches and coffee, and this was done
at the close Of the meeting to the
complete satisfaction Of everyone.
After closing the discussion on the
measures, the question Of completion
of the Lexington-Jarmon market road
was taken up. The people out that
way are very anxious that this. be
done just as soon as possible, and In
order to get thorough understand
ing Of the present status of the pro-
gram as it pertains to this road, a
committee was appointed to come to
Heppner on Wednesday for the pur-
pose of going over the matter with
Judge Campbell. 1t Is realized that
there Is at present lack Of funds,
but there are some promises standing
out that the Alpine folks would like
TO see efforts made to fulfill.
c. d. Morey was the presiding Off
Ger at the meeting, and he also took
part in the discussion of the various
questions in an able manner. While
the great questions weA not fully
settled, there was disposition on the
part Of each to get at the real facts,
in order to vote the more intelligently
at the coming election. The Alpine
Farm Bureau is quite alive, and they
expect to hold a number Of similar
meetings during the fall and winter
months.
The paper man noted that there was
fine feeling existing in the COM
munity, backed by a spirit Of coop
Grafton. The farmers were also re-
joicing over the big rain and were all
busy with their seeding.
