Full of that determination that goes a long way towards winning the good things of this old world the Heppner High School football team, in charge of Coach Smead, left on yesterday's train to meet the so far undisputed champions of Eastern Oregon, the Pendleton High School football team. Ever since the game with lone the Hi squad has been practicing faithfully, regardless of the fact that they had no immediate game in sight, and they goto Pendleton with a good knowledge of the game. The lineup of the team has been changed some, affecting the team weight a little, but it is very likely that the decrease in weight will be overcome by the increased speed of the whole team Sidney Hallock will replace Gar ence Scrivner at center. This one change will affect the weight proposition considerably, but they do say that Sidney passes thebal admirably and that as a tackier he is a terror. This being the case the center position will be properly taken care of. Hiatt and Thornton are both working at fullback, with the odds in favor of the former. Outside of a lack of genuine headwork on his part, Hiatt is a very strong player and if the Heppner team scores today or should they win the game, it is a safe bet that some of the scoring will be done by this young Hercules. The backfield as whole is showing up well and has both speed and weight to hurl against the Round-up squad. The lineup as doped out by the coach before leaving isas follows: Turner, tackle and end; Jones, tackle; Maddock, guard; Hallock, center; Hiatt, fullback ; Crawford, quarter; Cohn, guard; Potter, end; R. Young, r. h. ; H. Young, end; Yeager, 1. h. ; Peck, guard; Thornton, tackle and fullback; Wright, guard. Pendleton was somewhat reluc tant to play Heppner this year and did put off a game with our pigskin artists just as long as pos sible, but if the Heppner lads put up half the fight there is in them this afternoon, there will be no reason for Pendleton feeling ashamed of meeting them, unless they feel ashamed of themselves for their own poor showing. The Heppner lads recognize that they have everything to make and nothing to lose, while Pendleton will fight desperately to maintain her claim to the pennant. Hepp ner has a good show to win and it will not be surprising if our war riors return tomorrow evening with the scalps of eleven Uma tilla braves dangling from their belts. Verily It Sleepeth. There was a meeting of the Boost Club Friday evening at the council chambers, but no business of importance was accomplished. There was some discussion of the creamery proposition, as well as other matters, and the drift of the creamery talk would indicate that so far as Heppner is con cerned at the present, that bub ble has "busted" and we shall be contented in the future to boost for the Mountain Valley creamery at Lexington. It may be that this is just as well, for it will be a rather slow process to get our farmers and ranchers up this way to engage in dairying to the ex tent of supplying an independent plant at this point, and the Lex ington creamery can take care of a lot more cows than it has at this time. This does not change the face of the proposition, however and Heppner will surely have i creamery in the course of time because we have a dairy country up this way and the people will eventually, take hold of the busi ness. We must get these large tracts cut up and have more set tlers and families working the different places up and down these creeks, and should the people now tributary to Heppner stock up with what Jersey cattle they can handle without extra expense the results would be astonishing from a monetary standpoint, and the need of additional creamery facil ities would be at once realized. By all means let our ranchers get busy and add to their present equipment a number of good Jer sey cows, or some other breed of equal worth, and begin to draw down the monthly cream check It .will be a neat addition to the bank account, as quite a number of our people can already testify All the way from $50 to $100 per month can be realized, and it will all be clear profit.

From the Evening Bulletin, of Walla Walla, of the 22nd inst, we get the following item: "The six-months-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Wade. 1150 West Cherry street, was found dead in bed this morning by her father, about one hour after the parents had arisen. The cause of death was gastritis. "According to Mr. Wade, the child was apparently in good health yesterday evening. It did not awaken in the night. After the parents had arisen the child was left in bed until after the fam ily breakfast. Mr. Wade went to look at the child and found it dead. "The funeral will be at ten o'clock tomorrow morning at Mac Martin's undertaking, rooms, N. C. Wilson of the Christian Science church officiating. Burial will be in the Mountain View cemetery. ' Mr. and Mrs. Wade were form erly residents of Heppner, and their friends here will deeply sympathize with them in this sad bereavement. Card Of Thanks. Until such time as I can have an opportunity to personally thank the many friends who so kindly gave to me their help and sympa thy, permit me through the press to say, that in this my hour of sorrow I am deeply grateful to all. The generosity of thought and action extended to me by the good people of Heppner will be a consolation and a sustaining in- fluen ce throughout my life. Mrs. M. B. Metzler. Levi Hiatt and Ralph Cecil were taken in charge by the sheriff on Tuesday for the larceny of a heifer from Sherman Wakefield. They went out to Hiatt's place late Mon day evening and butchered the heifer, bringing the carcass town and selling it out the same night. They also brought along the hide, entrails, hoofs and head and dumped the same over the creek bank near the depot where they were discovered early Tues day morning by J. B. Huddleston whose suspicions were at once aroused. He called the attention of Deputy Rasmus to the matter, and that official at once got busy and by ten o'clock had located the owner of the animal and the parties who had killed it. Hiatt and Cecil were rounded up and taken into custody. An examina tion was had before Dist. Attor neyVan Vactor Tuesday after noon. Hiatt armitted his guilt of the crime and was released from custody on putting up a bond in the sum of $750. Cecil pleads his innocence of wrong doing as he thought the animal belonged to Hiatt. His bail was fixed at $250 but he has so far been un able to get bondsmen, so is wait ing in jail. Hiatt claims that he was so intoxicated at the time of killing the heifer that he did not realize he was getting the prop erty of a neighbor. In conse quence of this little piece of work, Mr. Wakefield has suffered the loss of a fine animal that he was raising for a dairy cow.

The Strollers Quartette, which will appear in Heppner, Dec. 22, as the second number of the Ly ceum Course, were at Pasco, Wash., on the 1st of November. Earle Munger, the manager of the committee of that place writes: "Our course opened last night with the largest house in town packed to the limit of the standing room. We could hardly have selected a better opening number than the Strollers." Supt. J. M. Erickson, of Jen- Wash., writes: "The Strollers Quartette entertained a crowded house here last night. Every number was just fine, and the entire audience was very much pleased. It is certainly hard to tell which of the singers made the biggest hit. We trust that we may have the pleasure of hearing them again." Lovers of music will certainly enjoy the Strollers. Every re port received by the Bureau in dicates that the public is more At a regular meeting of Doric odge No. 20, K. of P., the fol- owing resolutions of condolence were adopted: Whereas, it has pleased the Supreme Chancellor of the Uni verse to call from their earthly abors Bros.

He goes loaded with Mor row county literature and expects to do some missionary work along the line of inducing settlers to come to this section of the state. He already has some people on the string and would like to locate a colony or two in this county. Hope he may be suscessful, and should any number of people ar rive here a little later on with a view to settling, we further hope that what few knockers there are yet remaining will either have gotten away from that idea or been called to their long rest. Let us boost the county and put the very best side to the front. kins High School, Chewelah, than pleased with this quartette. County Union Meets. On Tuesday afternoon the Far mers i,ducational and rroteetive Association met at the court house in Heppner for the transac tion of business. There were about 30 of the members present, and the matter of electing a dele gate to represent the union at the state meeting at Pendleton was the principal business to be attended to. President C. E. Jones was chosen, and it was recommended that each local come together and elect a dele gate. The meeting at Pendleton next week promises to be one of great interest and a goodly atten dance of delegates from Morrow county should be present. Tin: i.i rn.i: i:i:i hem. Frank Graham in Weston Leader. We have read of Maud on a summer day. AVho raked barefoot the newmown hay; We have read of the maid in the eariy morn, Who milked the cow with the crum pled horn: And we've read the lay the poets sing Of rustling corn and flowers of spring: But of all the lays of tongue or pen, there's naught like the lay of the Little lied Hen. Long. Long before Maud rakes her hay The Little Hod Hen has begun to lay: And ere the milkmaid stirs a jK'g, The lien is up and has dropped an The corn must rustle and the flowers inusn't dream, If they hold theirown with the barn yard queen. If Maud is needing a hat or gown She doesn't hustle her hay to town: She goes to the store and buys the suit With a basket-ful of fresh hen fruit; If the milkmaid's beau makes a Sun day eall. She doesn't feed him on milk at all, P.ut works up eggs in a custard pie, And stuffs him full of chicken fry; And if the old man wants a "horn" Does he take the druggist a load oi corn? Xot much he simply robs the nest And hies him townward 3-011 know the rest. His poor wife stays at home and scowls But pays the grocer with her fowls; For while her husband lingers there, She eyes the cackling hen with care, And gathers the eggs and eggs she'll keep For t he store's sales-day, -when things are cheap. Then hail, all hail, to the Little Red lien, That lays and cackles and laysagain! Wheat may be king, but it's plainly seen That the Rhode Island Red Hen in surely queen. O, yes, no doubt all folks are sinners: some old and tough, some just beginners. We all need sav ing, more or less re-saving every day, I guess. A few seem just about all right; their souls with righteousness alight; while others mired and steeped in sin. seem bent the devil's praise to win. Between extremes, ten million grades appear: a hundred million shades of goodness, badness, wrongness, rightness, cleanness, vileness, darkness, lightness; and who shall draw a certain line, like fence dividing mine and thine, 'twixt good and bad, the "saved" and ' 'lost, ' ' pick sheep from goats, in such a host? No mortal can; He only, knows, who made the pigweed and the rose. JournaL Nothing is so enjoyable as a good dinner. All that goes to make up a good dinner, the best in the market, the best of service, at the Palace Hotel, Sunday, Monday, and every day.
