A Prize \(/innins Dry Kiln'Float
The Heppner Lumber Co. is justly proud of the output of their four Moore Cross-Circulation Kilns r,vhich were put in operation in September 1945. The lumber is stacked in unit packages, and loaded on kiln trucks with a Hyster lift truck. The daily kiln drying capacity is sixty thousand board feet of properly seasoned lumber, part of which is custom kiln dried.
This progressive, fast expanding lumber concern has a considerable stand of timber tributarv to the Heppner operation. The present sarv mill, with a capacity of 50,000 board feet daily, was built in July 1940, and is located on Willow Creek, three miles below the city of Heppner.
Back in 1909 when real hardened buckaroos were plentiful, the town of Heppner, Ore., staged its first Cow,boy Show. This impressed very much some visitors from Pendleton, Ore., and they caught the spirit of rodeo so that the first Pendleton Round-Up was presented that fall.
In 1922 the Heppner Rodeo Association rvas formed and since that time eastern Oregon has enjoyed "An Epic Drama of the Old West," an annual event in Heppner.
On the second day of the rodeo, a parade is usually staged, with business houses, clubs, logging and saw mill concerns entering a float. For the 1947 parade, the Heppner Lumber Co. decided to have something different to depi,ct their product. In previous parades, the company had featured a load of logs, a load of lumber, or a lift truck; but realized all of these were becoming old ideas rvhich were no longer interesting.
Norman Anderson, r.vho is kiln foreman for the company, was called upon for recommendations for a float for the 1947 parade which would be a little different. He brought forth the idea of a miniature dry kiln closely resembling the Moo:e Cross-Circulation l(ilns being used by the company.
Norman also wanted to stress the fact that'since properly kiln dried lumber is in so great demand, this float would be of interest to all.
This prize rvinning float was built by Mr. Buck Hansen, the company's construction superintendent, rvho is at present in charge of the construction of additional Moore Cross-Ci:culation Kilns for the Pendleton Lumber Co., Pendleton, Ore., which is a subsidiary of the Heppner I-umber Co.
The average production of the planing mill is approximately 2,000,000 board feet per month. Under the supervision of Buck Hansen, a new addition was added to the planing mill during the past year, for housing a door frame factory and cut-up plant, rvith room left over for storage.
All logging for the company is carried on with trucks with a 4O mile haul, and the daily logging capacity is 75,000 feet.
Orville Smith, manager and vice president of this operation, advises the Pendleton Lumber Co., an affiliate. norv has under construction four of the latest type Moore Cross-Circulation Kilns which are expected to be in operation in the early spring. These kilns are similar to those at Heppner, and will also have a daily drying capacitv of 60,000 board feet of lumber.
Jack Helseth is plant superintendent at Heppner. Other key men are Bill Barkla, chief engineer; Charles Stout, sarv mill superintendent; Bilt Davis, head filer; Lawrence Miles, sawyer; Olaf Robertson, planer foreman ; Tom Wells, factory foreman; Norman Anderson, kiln foreman; Bert Kane, shop foreman: A. M. Krog, Carl Johnson, Al Massey, graders; and Vivian Kane, of6ce manager.

What Is This GolI?
Golf is a form of work made expensive enough for a rich man to enjoy it. It is physical and mental exertion made attractive by the fact that you have to dress for it in a $200,000 club house.
Golf is what letter-carrying, ditch-digging, a16 carpetbeating would be if these three tasks had to be performed on the same hot afternoon in short pants and colored socks by gouty-looking gentlemen who required a different implement for every mood.
Golf is the simplest looking game in the world when you take it up, and the toughest-looking after you've been at it for ten or twelve years.
It is probably the only.game a man can play as long as a quarter of a century and then discover that it was too deep for him in the first place.
The game is played on carefully selected grass with little white balls and as many clubs as the player can afford. These balls cost from 75 cents to 25 dollars and it is possible to support a family of ten people for five months on the money represented by the balls lost by some golfers in a single afternoon.
A golf course has 18 holes, 17 of which are unnecessary and put there to make the game harder. A ,'gole" is a tin cup in the center of a "green." A "green" is a small passe.l of grass costing about 91.99 a blade and usually located between a brook and a couple of trees or a lot of unfinished excavations.
The idea is to get the golf ball from a given point into each of the 18 cups in the fewest number of strokes and the largest number of words.
The ball must not be thrown, pushed, or carried. It must be propelled by about $200 worth of curious looking implements, especially designed to provoke the owner.
Each implement has a specific purpose and ultimately some golfers get to know what that purpose is. They are the exceptions. After each hole has been completed, the golfer couirts his strokes. Then he subtracts 6 and says "Made that in 5. That's one above par. Shall we play or 50 cents on the next hole, Ed?"
After the fi:ral or lSth hole the golfer adds up his score and stcps when he has reached 87. He then has a swim, a pint of gin, sings "Sweet Adeline" with 6 or g other liars, and calls it the end of a perfect day.
To The Returned Soldier
To you who bared your bosoms to the storms of war; to you who left your loved ones, to die if need be for the sacred cause; may you live long in the land you helped to save; may the winter of your age be as green as spring; as full of blossoms as summer; as generous as autumn; and may you, surrounded by plenty, with your wives at ycur sides and your grandchildren on your knee, love long, and when at last the fires of life burn low: when you enter the deepening dusk of many, many happy days; may the memory of your splendid deeds-deeds that freed your fellow-men-deeds that kept your country on the map of the world-deeds that kept the flag of the Republic in the air-may the memory of these deeds fill your souls with peace and perfect joy.
-Robert fngersoll.
The Trcinmqn Led in Prcyer
An old railroad man was converted at a revival meeting, as the story goes, and was asked to lead in prayer. Here is what he said:
"Oh, Lord, now that I have flagged Thee, lift my feet off the rough deck of life and plant them safely on the deck of the train of salvation. Let me use the safety lamps known as prudence, make all couplings on the train with the strong link of Thy love, and, Heavenly Father, keep all the switches closed that lead off the sidings, especially those with a blind end. Oh, Lord, if it be Thy pleasure, have every semaphore blocked along the line. Show the white light of hope, that I may make the run of Life without stopping; and, Lord, give us the Ten Commandments as a schedule, and when my train shall have pulled into the great dark station of Death, may Thou say with a smile: 'Well done, thou good and faithful servant. Come up and sign the pay roll and receive your check for eternal happiness."'
