Council Meeting.
The regular monthly meeting
of the city council was held Mon
day evening with a full attend
ance present. Outside of the reg
ular business there was the grant
ing of three liquor licenses for
the unexpired quarter. These
were given to Doherty & Cun
ningham, who have bought out
the Dennis McNamee place, Mc
Nally & Keegan, who succeed
Riley & O'Donnell at the stone
saloon, and Herb Fant, who is oc
cupying the Borchers building as
a new man in the business. This
makes the number of saloons now
paying licenses into the city treas
ury as six, and whether there
shall be more remains to be seen,
as the new city council will have
this problem to wrestle with.
The election returns were can
vassed by the council and the
newly elected mayor, councilmen,
recorder and treasurer given their
certificates of election.
In the matter of miscellaneous
claims against the city, the fol
lowing bills were audited and al
lowed:

We wish the lone lads better luck
next time, and are willing to bet
our, last year's hat that they can
"do" Condon on their home field,

another bout before the season is
over. It will do both teams good.
City Election.
At Heppner's city election on
Monday there was apparently
but little interest manifested at
least it passed off very quietly
and no excitement prevailed.
There was a good vote cast, how
ever, for two hundred citizens
turned out to have their wishes
recorded. Two contests, only,
on the ticket, added any zest to
the election. This was for mayor
and recorder. Sam E. Van Vac
tor won out over O. E. Farns
worth for mayor; and J. P. Will
iams defeated W. A. Richardson
for recorder, although it looked
for some time while the votes
were being counted thatWalthad
the best of the fight. The result
of the election was as follows:
For mayor, O. E. Farnsworth,
71; Sam E. Van Vactor, 125;
councilmen, W. B. Barratt, 165,
Alexander Cornett, 172, Geo. J.
Currin, 163; recorder, W. A. Rich
ardson, 96, J. P. Williams, 10$;
treasurer, L. W. Briggs, 161.

We, your committee on condo
lences, duly appointed at a regu
lar meeting of the Chapter held
on Friday, the 24th day of No
vember, 1911, report as follows:
Henry Jones
Death has again invaded our
ranks and taken therefrom an
honored and highly esteemed
Not Hog Cholera.
During the last few months
heavy losses have been sustained
among Morrow county hog rais
ers, on account of a contagious
disease, which sometimes des
troys an entire herd. The dis
ease was thought by some to be
Hog Cholera, but a careful inves
lltion proves it to be the so
called "Walking Disease," which
has killed so many fine horses in
this county the past few months
Basket Social.
Lecture on Passion Play.
A lecture on the ' 'Passion Play"
will be given in the Baptist church
of Heppner, Tuesday night, Dec.
12 at 7:30, and also in the Baptist
church at lone, Wednesday, Dee
13, at 8 p. m. by Rev. A. N,
Jacquemin. This lecture by Mr,
Jacquemin is highly recommended
by the clergy and the press; of
exceptional literary value, and
informing to a degree that brings
one closely in touch with the his
tory and execution of this remark
able play. Original photographs
of the actors, their village and
their church will be shown. No
moving pictures are connected
with this entertainment and the
character of the lecture is such
that Christian audiences through
out Eastern Washington and Nor
thern Idaho have requested to
hear it again. Unsolicited recom
mendations have been sent from
Portland regarding Rev. Jacque
min's lecture and it is hoped that
a large audience will trreet him.
Being imbued with the idea
that her school stood in need of
a number of things which they
did not have the funds to pur
chase, Miss Clara Reid, teacher
of District No. 39, hit on the plan
of giving a basket social, and this
was carried out at the schoolhouse
last Friday evening. Besides a
very considerable number of the
patrons of the school, there was
a large crowd present from Hepp
ner and the school room was filled
to overflowing. A general good
time was had, and the saleof bas
kets was interesting as well as
highly profitable, the sum of
$76.50 being netted. One party
paid the" sum of $7.00 for his bas
ket, and there were several others
that brought almost as much.
The district now has sufficient
funds to buy the equipment they
want, and a good time was had
while getting the money.
Specimens from these hogs were
sent to Prof. Pernot, state bac
teriologist, and a recognized au
thority. He has Dositive nmnf
- x T
that it is the same disease
lias killed the horses.
Ben Buschke has lost all of his
hogs, sixty-one in number, from
4-1. , mi .
uiy same cause, this too was
proven by post mortem findings
member. A long and useful life's Emmerson Keithley of Eight Mile
history is closed, another familiar has lost nearly all of his hogs,
face has gone from our gaze, the some eighty or ninetv head'
hearty greeting and the cordial
handshake, the pleasant conver
sation and happy, cheerful coun
tenance have gone out of our
lives save as a cherished memory.
We cannot but feel sad, although
our brother had passed the allot
ted stage of three score years and
ten. Long years of acquaintance
ship had . endeared Bro. Henry
Jones to many of us, and we feel
a personal loss in his departure
and sincerely mourn his death.
TIT I . 1 1 .
we iurtner desire to express
to Sister Jones and her family in
this their hour of supreme afflic
tion, our sympathy and condolence
and reverently commend them to
the tender love and Fatherly
watchcare of Him who doeth all
things well.
That this expression be made a
matter of record by this Chapter,
and that a copy thereof be for
warded to the family of our de
ceased brother and also given to
the press for publication.

lone Defeated 12 To 8.
Thanksgiving was an unlucky
day for Morrow county football
players, and lone High school
eleven came home from Condon
with defeat No. 2 to her credit.
The lone team put up a good
game in the first half, so the re
port goes, and was really entitled
to win the game, as they out
played their opponents, but could
not stand off both players and
referee. So their scalps now

game was played, and that is
Annual Memorial Service.
The annual Lodge of Sorrow of
Heppner Lodge No. 358, B. P. O.
E., was held in I. O. O. F. hall
on Sunday afternoon, a very large
gathering of citizens of the town
being present to witness the im
pressive ceremonies and hear the
program. The service was short,
not consuming more than 30 min
utes, but withal it was not lacking
in interest and impressiveness.
Mr. A. E. Sanderson, an attorney
of Portland and a member of the
order, was the orator and his
words were listened to with much
interest. Other numbers on the
program were by local talent and
were all well received.
Heppner High and lone High
will contend for football honors
again Saturday afternoon at the
lone grounds. Both teams are in
much better trim than when they
met a month ago and this prom

in it as the championship of Mor

should be a good attendance from
Heppner. The game will be
called at 1:30, and will be over in
plenty of time to take the train
for home in the evening. A
chance for a good holiday.

yet and will not be till the own
ers of stock become convinced
that it is a contagious disease,
and act accordingly.
This disease is much more seri
ous than people generally realize
and may become worse.
It will never become eradicated
as long as the farmers and stock
men insist on blaming it to worms,
dry feed, tar weed, stopping ud.
soil poisons, etc. The State
Board of Health is making every
effort to clear up this matter, and
will soon be able to make a full
report on it. The work of rid
ding the county of this disease is
being hindered by those who in
sist on telling what they do not
know about it. What is to be
done Simply treat the disease
as you would smallpox or anv
other contagious disease. Sepa
rate the sick ones from the well
ones. Disinfect the feed mang
ers, troughs, and anything else
about the premises that might
come in contact with the secre
tions from the eyes, nose or mouth
of the affected animal.
Whitewash made from freshlv
water slacked lime is a good dis
infectant. Dead animals must
be buried. It is the state law and
will be enforced. We most earn
estly ask for the assistance of the
citizens of Morrow county in our
efforts to rid the county of this
disease.
