A HAVE GREAT NIEEIG Public Meeting at Night Brillian Cli max to Red Letter Day. Supreme Oracle Profuse in Praise. Wednesday October 25th will al ' ways be a red letter day in the his tory of Royal Neighbor life in East ern Oregon. After a v day of closed sessions in which the iBoker degree team very beautifully exemplified in itiation of 20, the reception for Myra B. Enright, the supreme oracie oi wie order, turned itself into a public meet ing and about 300 people last evening witnessed a formal program in her honor. Rev. G. L. Clark of the Pres- ' byterlan church welcomed the dis tinguished lodgewoman. and the visit ors from Eastern Oregon. Gertrude Simmons, supervising deputy for Ore gon, of Portland, responded pleasantly. Mrs. George Huntington Currey was then called upon for "a vocal solo and responded to the delight of all. Mrs. Enright, the honor guest, then de livered a formal speech, Retting forth the growth, virtues and merits of the order, for, being the auxiliary of the biggest fraternal insurance order in the world, the Modern Woodman, tho institution naturally has widespread influence. 'After her speech the fes tivities witnessed presentation of sev eral beautiful bouquets to the three . prominent women present Mrs. En right, Mrs. Simmons and Mrs. Hamb lin, supervising deputy for Idaho and Montana. Each of these ladies re sponded graciously and declared the reception by the Eastern Oregon lodges to be exemplary in every way. Mrs. Bunting" presided. The Modern, Woodman quartet sang a new Royal Neighbor song with addenda written by W. F. Landrum. The Pendleton drill team presented the spectacular floor' work of the evening when it executed intricate drills for the entertainment of tho guests. The 10 members, all in white, did beautiful work, and added color by showering Mrs. Enright and Mrs. Simmons with roses as the climax of an original welcome song sung by the team. With more of their lodge songs and yells, tho Pendletonians boarded their homeward bound train. The Baker degree teiim was asked 'i 'i I f Aj For Sale by FOR SALE BY: Island City M. & M. Co., W. H.

Decoration, entertainment, banquet reception and other committees of tho La Grande camp are indeed worthy of the highest, praise for the way they handled every detail. BOOZE PUNCHES. Well Delivered Blows at the Brewer's Bill by Oswald West. La Grande, Oct. 26. Following are a few pungent sentences spoken by former Governor Oswald West in his talk Tuesday evening in the Metho dint church. Booze is one subject you can not lie about. Your wildest imagination has been enacted over and over again in real life. The war in Europe with all of its terrors is but a drop in the bucket compared with the misery al cohol is causing. ' There is no half way in this booze game. We must make the state so dry that the old soaks will have to primo their throats to spit. ' In regards to personal liberty any decent citizen ought to be sport enough to give up an injurious habit for the greater good of society. I- call the .Brewer's bill "Paul's Epistle to the Oregonians" for it was initiated by Paul Wessinger for the linni.fif. nf his own brewerv. This bill is for him alone for no other brewer in the state can compete with him. No man has a right to be in a busi ness that depends for its profits upon Winter is coming Cold,rainy days-then you'll appreciate the cosy, cheery warmth of a good oil heater. Can be carried easily and safely from room to room. One gallon of Pearl Oil gives nine hours of steady, odorless, clean heat. Prices: $3.75 to $7.75 Perfection Oil Heater L. J. the misery of innocent people. No man has a right for selfish and busi ness interests to lend his bum in en dorsement to a measure that is framed to deceive the people and re establish a system that people them selves have voted to abolish. It is your duty as men and women to snow under this measure with at least 75,000 majority, to carry the absolutely dry bill and get rid of this issue for once and for all. If the sale of booze is wrong there should be no state lines. While we shiuld not permit the importation of liquor neither is it fair to make beer in Oregon to curse tne people oi otner states. Brewer's Bill Summarized. A summary of Mr. West's explana tion of the Brewer's bill is that by ommission of a comma there are five exceptions to absolute prohibition in stead of four as now, and that any one alleging illness will be able to obtain beer without the prescription of a physician. The words "containing four per cent or less" do not prohibit the manufac ture of beer of higher than four per cent. The bill provides for the sale of such liquors to any individual, woman, child, drunkard or insane. The measure takes the constitu tional right of the initiative from the people and leaves the entire future booze question in the hands of the legislature. Filling stations similar now to be the Standard Oil gasoline stations would be established on country cross roads near colleges or churches and sold by agents of the Brewer's. Local option would be voted away'and towns and counties formerly dry before state prohibition would become and remain wet altho against the will of tho entire community. x GEORGE HUNTINGTON CURREY, Chairman Union County Temper ance Alliance.

Joseph Gill, one of the prosperous farmers in the Zumwalt neighbor hood, was in town the first of tho week, being among the many from the northern part of the county who found it to their advantage to make , Joseph their marketing station for their 1916 crop of grain. He sioted that about 25 of his neighbors came in to Joseph on a single day the last of the week with grain. The stream of grain pouring into our local ware houses from the various districts of the county is steady" and incessant, as attested by the mounting piles of rounded out sacks. These will short ly bo on their way to market. Mean while the threshers are still at work: with their tasks and still have in hand numerous jobs. Agent W. P. Trumbull and his helpers were made happy last week when the O.-W. R. & N. higherups in formed them that hereafter on Sun days they will be required to work on ly from 10:30 to 3:30, or five hours. They formerly put in ten hours on Sunday, just as on other days, work ing from 7 to 7. A Splendid Dairy Cow. It sometimes happens that an ani mal, lacking in what we are pleased to term "good breeding," establishes a freak record, and this exception seems to hold good in the case ,of Lily, an unregistered Holstein cow, belong ing to Walter E. Boner, of south of Joseph, who took the milker to the fair at Enterprise where she made all competition look very weak indeed. lt( Trails Mark. U. 8. Fit. Offloa.
