Ada Reach and Company.
"The Heart of the Immigrant," Will
be the Title of Musical Program
at Rex Thursday Night.
Ada Roach and company, in "The
Heart of the Immigrant" is a musi
cal program with a powerful theme.
Miss Ada Roach has been selected as
the most capable person in the Lyce
um for heading the company. She
is a woman of deep sentiment, broad
sympathy, unusual natural humor,
wonderful powers of impersonation,
herself of good Immigrant blood, and
just the right rollicking spirit to head
such a company as is needed to give
"The Heart of the Immigarnt."
The full company of mixed quartet,
the accompanist, who sings, and Miss
Roach, who has a full rich contralto
voice, join in singing nearly every
number. Each song is especially pre
sented, the effective grouping of the
singers adding a great part to the
pleasure of the audience. In the hu
morous stories and recitals, and in
the individual work of the members of
the company, nearly always every oth
er member is contributing as chorus,
as accompanist on violin, piano or
other instrument, and in action and
position.
The heart and home songs of the
countries whence come our Immigrant
will be the leading part of the pro
gram. Such songs as the Irish "Where
the River Shannon Flows" and "Rory
O'More";, the German "The Loreleo"
and "Silent Night, Hallowed Night";
and the Italian "Ciribiribin," and the
choicest songs from the other nation
alties. These will bw of wide variety,
carefully selected for their beauty and
appropriatness, and especially for
their part in building an artistic, en
tertaining and effective program, "The
Heart of the Immigrant."
This company is scheduled to appear
at the Rex Theatre on November 1st.
It is a show well worth atteding.
COUNTY'S 1917 TAX ROLL
OF 11,000,000. COMPLETE
Assessed Valuation of County $11,
000,000.00 Assessor Carlyle
Completes Summary.
County Assessor R. M. Carlyle and
Deputies Harry Sackett and Murray
Morton, have completed the summary
of the tax roll. The totals, exclusive
of the Public Service Corporation val
uations which aro assessed by the
State Tax Commission, are for this
year $8,812,500 which is an increase
over last year of nearly 50 per cent,
the 191C figures amounting to $5,
938,920. It is estimated that the pub
lic service assessment in Malheur
county will be about two million and
a quarter thus making the total as
sessed valuation about 511,000,000.
This large increase is due to the
fact that the basis of assessment has
been placed at about sixty per cent
of the fair valuation instead of forty
per cent -the basis for last year. The
new roll will lower the tax rates in
the county and makes the figures of
more valuo in comparison with the
other counties in the state.

Local Red Cross Will Supply Their
Apportionment of National Or
der for Christmas Parcels.
Fifty Christmas parcels containing
goodies and practical comforts for
the soldier "laddies" in the trenches
of France will bo shipped from the
Vale' Red Cross rooms by November
first and another hundred to be dis
tributed in the training camps of
America, will be shipped later. Thou
sands of parcels will be wrapped and
sent from Red Cross chapters all ov
er the United States, many of which
will go across the seas and many to
the home camps. In sending the 160
parcels, the Vale Chapter is filling
the number alloted to tTiem in the na
tional apportionments. These parcels
do not include those which will be
sent by the Honor Guard girls nor
personal gift parcels of family or
friends. Directions ror filling and
wrapping of Red Cross Christmas
packages are to be found in the No
vember Red Cross magazine.
The first shipment of knitted gar
ments from the Vale Chapter Ameri
can Red Cross will be made November
first. Chairman of the knitting com
mittee, Mrs. B. F. Farmer, urges that
all workers in Vale and surrounding
territory who havo work out will
speed up a little and hand in all fin
ished garments possible, by the first.
If the knitted articles are not finished
and shipped soon it will be too" late
for them to reach the camps across
the water in time to do much good
during coldest weather. Remember
"knitters" take a few extra stitches
and get your articles in by the first
so they can be included in the ship
ment. Let's make it as large as pos
sible. Old Resident Dies.
Jack Napton, an old resident of
Malheur county, died at his home in
Westfall late last week, after a short

BOY STARTS FIRE
Grievance Against Father Prompts
Boy to Start Fire Which Does
$5000 to Farm.
Noble Pullen, 16 year old son of Doc
Pullen of tho Owyhee section, set fire
to his father's sheep sheds and hay
stacks Thursday, starting a fire which
damaged the sheds and crops to the
extent of about $5000.
Some time ago, it is stated, the boy
quarreled with his father and left
home. Thursday he returned to get a
cow and calf and a steer which he
claimed were his property. He and
his father had some words upon his
return home and it is claimed the boy
when departing, set fire to the sheds
and hay stacks which were burned.
Sheriff Brown was called and brought
the boy to Vale where he is in jail
awaiting a preliminary hearing of the
case. It is probable that on account
of his age the boy's case will come be
fore the juvenile court for trial.

ed himself Belmont's master in every
round and the Winnemucca papers
proclaim Gruwell a great little fighter.
McDermitt was practically deserted
on the 13th most of the Quinn river
valley people going to Winnemucca
to take in the big fight, and tho betting
was heavy, Joe being a McDermitt
boy.
There were two preliminaries, the
first by two colored gentlemen. The
second was fast and exciting from the
tap of the gong, between the Salt
Lake kid and Roxie Evans. The kid
was groggy in the 2nd and 3rd rounds
but came back in the 4th, fighting a
game fight and receiving a draw.

Hanna, Thursday afternoon while
playing, fell on a knife and inflicted
a deep gash in the abdomen. Dr.

to the Ontario hospital immediately.

it is thought at this time no serious
complications will result. The child
was resting easy at last reports Fri
day. Scouts Take Tests.
Saturday morning at seven sharp
twelve Boy Scouts of the local troop
assembled at the home of Scout Mas
ter Luscombe and hiked to the hills

Vnle Will Over Reach Quota Is Now
Ahead of State Average Com
iinittcc Make Record.
Thursday night Vale was ahead of
the state average in raising tho re
spective quotas of the second Liber
ty Loan, having fiold approximately
$80,000 or about 92 per cent of tho
quota of $87,500. Just what has been
accomplished in tho other sections of

but it is understood that Westfall,
Juntura, Jordan Valley, Nyssa and
Ontario banking houses have sold
their proportion or very near.
Wednesday of this week the stato

amount of the bonds. Nearly every
farmer in the Malheur and Willow val

more.

: U. S. FOOD CONSERVATION
What We Are Expected To Do
For Our Country.
Every home that signs the
Pledge Card for food conser-
vation, puts the uniform of the
country upon its inmates, ana
fills tho ranks of freedom's
army.
The food shortage is an in-
ternational problem, and upon
America's ability to "solve it,
hangs the fate of the war.
With this fact admitted by
all nations, the President of
the United States wisely
sought the services of Herbert
Hoover, who had proved his
ability to feed starving Bel-
glum, to mobilize the food
saving forces of the Nation.
This ho consented to attempt
providing he could serve with-
out pay, and the force under
him, exclusive of clerical assis
I tants, could be employed on a
volunteer basis. Today tho
busiest people of the nation
are laying aside their person-
al affairs and devoting their
entire time whole-hearted and
free in this service.
This season, the world failed
to produce tho annual food
supply, equal to the world's
! consumption, and upon this
! shortage, war's wanton de-
structiveness is taking its dai-
ly toll. When we win, there
will fall upon us millions of
starving dependents, who are
now fighting with sub-marine
destruction. ' WJtli our wealth
in foods, and facing this crisis,
we are asked to conserve the
wheat, meats, fats and sugar
for humanity.
5 Pledge card week is from
October 28th to November 4th.
The school houses in Malheur
county will be the radiating
centers from which the pledge
cards will be distributed. If
no one calls at your home, go
to the school house in your dis
trict where you will be given
the window card, the kitchen
guide and the pledge card. If
this is inconvenient write the
: county chairman. It is all vol-
unteer, and no greater service
can be given the world, or more
patriotic duty to your country;
' nnd it is to be hoped, tho les-
son of economy and wrongful
5 ness of waste, will endure long
after the war is ended.
