WAS A
SUCCESS
People Well Satisfied With
Heppner's Celebration.
iUaiterly Oration Amusements and
Sporta.-Pleaslng- Exercise
Both Days,
Heppner's Fourth of July cele
bration for two dave, July 4-5 was
a pronounced success.
rr a s s i
lne z,ouu people present were
pleased with the exercises and the
hospitality shown by the citizens
of Heppner.
The weather clerk was obliging
in the extreme. On the afternoon
1 i 1 , , a
preceding tne iourtn.tnere was a
good shower which laid the dust
and cooled the atmospere. The
morning of the Fourth dawned
clear and cool in marked contrast
with the broiler of a year ago. In
fact it was 60 cool that consterna
tion almost appeared in the
breasts of the dealers who had
loaded up with big supplies of ice
cream.
Tbe city was dressed in its Sun
day clothes with plenty of patri
otic trimming. The national col
ors blazed in the sunlight while
old glory fluttered in welcoming
everyone in the commemoration of
the birthday of the nation.
The streets were crowded at an
early hour, and the appearance'of
the parade headed by the Echo
band assisted by local musicians,
marked tliB opening of the exef
cises.
A platform was erected under
the shade of the big trees on
Chase street for the speaking and
musical program of the forenoon.
Before the arrival of the par
ade a large number of people had
cengregated and soon every avail
able seat was occupied.
There was a short embarrassing
delay at the platform owing to a
lack of attending to detail work
in arrangement, however, every
thing was soon adjusted and tbe
program was announced bv Mas
ter of Ceremonies E. C. Maddock.
The first number consisted of
Band music followed a chorus of
10 yoicea Rev. EdwardJWright
offered prayer. Miss Crane read
the Declaration of Independence,
followed by band music and cho
rus.
Easterly Orattsm.
The main feature of the exer
cises was the masterly oration by
Walter A. Dimick of Oregon City.
In manner of delivery and origin
ality Mr. Dimick's address showed
not only careful preparation but
undoubted ability.
The entire speech from the start
to the end was full of interest and
the large audience was held in
close attention with numerous out
bursts of appreciative applause.
While Mr. Dimict's effort was
lull of patriotic thought, still there
was a marked difference from the
usual Fourth of July oratory.
A noticeable feature was the im-
pressive originality in tne cover
ing of the different questions of
national importance.
Mr. Dimick's address concluded
the platform and forenoon exer
cises. Halleon, Ball t.aine, Sports.
The afternoon was warm and
it took a'l of the time to carry out
the interesting program.
rrof. iVardell's balloon ascen
sion was announced as tne hrst
order but owing to a light breeze
which interfered with the inflat
ing of th balloon, this feature was
put off uitil after the ball game.

MINER IS
ENGAGED
Will Investigate Mining of
Willow Creek Coal.
If f ound Practicable tlseCoal Will
be Hauled to Heppner by
Freight Teams.
Heppner and Morrow county
people have good foundation for
the hope that we will have plenty
of coal for this winter's fuel.
The movement started last week
to investigate the proposition of
minirig the Heppner coal fields
and freighting the product to this
city has culminated in the em
ployment of Mr. Jones a practical
and experienced coal miner from
Seattle.
Mr.'jones will be here in a few
days and will go out to the Wil
low creek field where he will in
vestigate the conditions and if
deemed practicable, the work of
mining will be commenced imme
diately and the cot.1 willjbe hauled
to Heppner.
From practical testa of the Wil
low creek coal for steam and do
mestic use it has been found to be
the equal if not superior to any
western coal.
In a test on the 2T. R. & N. with
a heavy freight train, the coal was
proven to be a great steam pro
ducer. For domestic use this coal has
been highly satisfactory, being
cleatrtrd, high- in "carbon -and
burns well in the ordinary coal
stove leaving but little ash.
It is believed that tbe coal can
be delivered in Heppner at 88.00
per ton which is cheaper than
other coals can be handled here
even if it could be obtained.
The distance from Heppner to
he mines is only 20 miles with an
easy water grade, but it is a moun
tain road and needs considerable
work.
Mr. and Mtb. F. B. Stevens went
to Heppner on Monday, where
hey are expecting to spend the
week visiting and celebrating and
expect their nioce, Miss Lillian
Johnson, to return with them for a
ew weeks' visit. Condon Times.
