D. H. McCarty Succumbs
from Injuries at The Dalles

David H. McCarty, who sustained a
fractured skull July 26 when his auto
went over a grade near The Dalles, died
at the hospital in that city Sunday
morning, August 13, at 8 o'clock. The
body was brought to Echo Monday after
noon by his brother, John McCarty, and
the funeral was held here Tuesday after
noon.
Mr.. McCarty had been in the hospital
at The Dalles since his accident and did
not recover consciousness sufficient to
relate how the accident occurred. His
skull was fractured and two of the bones
in his neck were injured, but at first the
doctors expressed confidence that he
would recover. Later it was found that
his left eye was injured and an opera
tion was necessary to remove it. This
operation seemed to cause a temporary
improvement, but Saturday he began to
fail and death occurred the following
morning.
David McCarty was born at Zena, in
Polk county, Oregon, April II, 1866. In
the fall of 1877 he came to eastern Ore
eon with his parents, and since that time
has been living at Butter creek. He was
member of Umatila Lodge No. 40, A.
F. & A. NJ, at Echo, having Joined that
order when the meetings were held at
Umatilla, and being charter member
Of the lodge formed here after the Una
tilla location was abandoned He also
held membership in the Heppner chap
ter Of Royal Arch Masons and belonged
to the Elks lodge at Walla Walla.
His family was one of Oregon pio-
neers, his grandfather having crossed
the plains to Oregon in 1S43 and his
mother having been born in Oregon in
iS43. The mother, Elizabeth Jane Nc
Carty, is still living at the family home
on Butter creek. A sister Mrs. Jas. Nc
Cumber, lives at Glenwood, Wash, and
there are four brothers, John, who re-
sides at Touchet, Wash, and James, Will
liam and Otis, who live on Butter creek.
The funeral was held Tuesday at 2
o'clock from the Methodist church of
Echo, Rev. Faucet, of Stanfeld, preach
ing the funeral sermon. Services at the
cemetery were conducted by the Masonic
fraternity, there being large number
Of Masons present from Heppner, Stan
field and other adjoining towns in addi-
tiOn to the members of his home lodge.

Aaron Peterson Passes
AT His Eight Mile Home

Aaron Peterson, a leading farmer Of
the Eight Mile section, whose place is
situated near where the Swedish church
is located, passed away at an early hour
on Wednesday morning, after sickness
from which he has suffered for the past
two years He had been confined to his
bed for some time, and the past few
weeks it was thought that his death
would occur at any time.
Mr.. Peterson came to this county in
1891 and located in the Eight Mile sec
tion where he followed farming very
successfully and succeeded in accumu-
ating a large body of good farm land.
Some two years ago he met with some
financial reverses and this brought about
failing health from which he did not re-
cover He was splendid citizen and
highly respected by his neighbors and
numbered among his friends the entire
population of the south and west end of
the county. He is survived by his widow,
five sons and one daughter. Interment
will take place tomorrow, at 800 p. M,
at the cemetery adjoining the church
and near the Peterson home. Rev, B. s.

era services

Contract for New Church
Goes to Heppner Builder

The contract for the erection of the
new Christian church in this city was
this week awarded to T. G. Dennisee,
local contractor and builder, and the
work of building of foundation and SUI
perstructure will begin just as soon as
the materials can be placed on the
ground.
1t has taken the building committee
some time to work out the details and
q large number of bids had to be gone
over, but Mr., Dennisee presented the
only bid covering the entire construc-
tion, but not including plumbing, wiring
and heating plant. These latter are
separate contracts and will go to local
people.
The excavation has been completed
some time and it is now hoped by the
building committee that the structure
will be pushed to completion without
further delay and enclosed before the
bad weather sets in. When completed
the church will cost in the neighborhood
of 100000, so we are informed by mem
bers of the building committee.

RESULTS Of SMUT
TREATMENT LISTED
Copper-Carbonate Treatment for Smut
ted Wheat May Replace Bluestone and
Formaldehyde in Many Sections.
(By C. C. calkins, County Agent.)

Thousands Of wheat growers in Ore
gon, Washington and California have
been watching with keen interest the
tests Of copper carbonate for smut con-
troll. Our own farmers have been inter-
ested in a dozen careful tests made To-
eally the results of which have been
made known.
There was an average Of Is per cent
smut where formalin and bluestone were
used as against 90 per cent where cop
per carbonate was used. The larger am
cunt Of smut where the wheat was treat
ed dry can be readily accounted for by
the method of treatment. One man who
had high smut percentage treated his
grain in the drill, pouring the powder on
and stirring. This was not sufficient.
Had the grain been properly treated nc
doubt better results would have been OBJ
tanned. Note the results from other
counties noted below.
Note, however, that we secured an av-
erage of one-third better stand where
the dry treatment was used and in some
of the tests there was two and three
times the wheat in spite of the fact that
the drill was usually shut down for the
dry treated grain.
Will copper carbonate really control
smut? How effective is it? To get fur
ther information along this line we
heavily smutted some Bluestem seed this
spring rubbing it in until it was nearly
black. This was divided and given the
following treatments with the results
noted:
No reatment...-..-25 pct. smut
Copper Carbonate y pct. smut
Formaldehyde...-.-...--.-Trace smut
blueStone---.-.-- race smut
Such smutty seed would never be used
get the powder was fairly effective with
hand mixing.
Note the reports from other sections:
Umatilla County.
Fred Bennion reports to this Office the
following:
Bluestone and Formalin 4.6 pct. smut,
Copper Carbonate Sc pet. smut; but the
stand from dry treatment was from 20
to 1872 pct. better. All tests but one on
Hybrid wheat which smuts badly.
Sherman County.
In Sherman county only two tests
were made with the results that 9 of q
per cent of smut was found in the wheat
treated with Copper Carbonate as

Big Barn On Cleveland
Farm Destroyed BY Fire

Fire destroyed the big barn on the
Cleveland place, four miles east of Hepp-
ner yesterday morning, The origin of
the fire is not known exactly but 1t is
thought to have been caused by defective
WIRING from the electric light plant on
the place.
About o'clock Heppner was tele"
phoned by Mr.. Cleveland, stating there
was a fire at his place, and calling for
assistance, but there was no definite in
formation to be had, and before help
could reach the scene of the fire the
barn was in ruins. The loss to Mr.. Cleve-
land is quite heavy.
