HEPPNER, OREGON, JULY 23, 1914
NUMBER 13
HEPPNER
iH GRADE ORE IS
REPORTED FOUND
AR HEPPNER
Strike Made By Mr, Sta'ter On
Heppner Mining Company's
Claim South Ot Town.
It was reported in Heppner last
Saturday afternoon that J. B. Stal
ter had found gold ore that will assay
from $50 to $350 a ton on the Hepp
ner Mining Company s property,
which is located at the head of Boul
der creek. The lead that tested $50
a ton was about fifty feet wide and
the lead that tested over $300 a ton
was about sixteen feet wide. The
fifty foot lead was on the surface of
the ground and can be mined at an
exceedingly small cost.
Mr. Stalter has spent considerable
of his time during the last twelve or
furteen years working on his prop
erty. Experts have said that the ore
was there but until the present time
it could not be found. There were
large number of claims at the head of
the creek but the Heppner concern
now owns thirteen of the best claims
in the district.
There is a $7,000, two-stamp mill on
on the property and the water rights
of three streams. If the ore proves
as valuable as it is thought it will, the
Company might put in additional ma
chinery or they can ship the ore to
Tacoma. The railroad is about twelve
miles distant but could be pushed to
a point four miles from the mine-
The stock is owned mostly by home
people. J. B. Stalter is the President,
J. O. Hager, Vice-President and Edgar
Ayers, Secretary. Mr. Hager has
gone to the mine and will be on the
ground to assist in the management.
We hope that the reports are correct
and that these men will get enough
of the yellow metal that will enable
them to keep the wolves in the moun
tains and to enjoy more of this world's
pleasures.

Manager Wilkins of The Palace
Hotel was greeted, by a large crowd
at his opening dinner Sunday, when
the change from the American plan
to the European plan for his dining
room was formally ushered in. Be
tween one hundred and twenty-five
and one hundred and fifty town and
country people were on hand and en
joyed the excellent meal that had been
prepared. Mr. Wilkins was at the
entrance to the dining room and per
sonally seated the guests. lie also
saw to it that everyone received
prompt service. The old saying that J
the way to reach a man s heart is
through his stomach" was amply
proven in this instance by The Palace
management. Everyone present
and all seats were filled several times
during the dinner hour seemed to
be enjoying the mea! immensely and
the drift of conversation was to the
effect that Mr. Wilkins and his as
sistants certainly knew how to ar
range and serve in first-class style.
In other columns of The Herald Mr.
Wilkins prints a copy of the special
dinner as served Sunday and also his
Grill Menu in full.
Yesterday night the Squad met at
their regular meeting place, the red
bench. The following officers were
chosen. Captain, Tom Moi-gan;
Lieutenant, Al. Slocum; Sergeants,
Hoffman and R. Yeager; Corporals,
Dr. Dye and Dr. Prentice. The pri
vates are Harry Johnson, Jim Hud
dleston, Justice Cornett, George Cur
rin, John Kilkenny, A. Farm Hand,
Ray Rogers and Will Ball.
After the officers were installed on
the "bench," the Squad listened to a
very earnest plea on the part of Cor
poral Prentice. He wants the Squad
to appear before the Council and re
quest them to have the boards on
the Main Street walks taken up and
turned, so that the smooth side vill
be up Lieut. Slocum approved of
the plan, as legal adviser, saying that
it was a very modest request.
The question of approving of an
Auxiliary Squad was taken from the
"bench" where it had been placed last
week and discussed. The officers
were in favor of the move but the
privates voted solidly against it and
it was "benched" again.
The monthly report of the lone
Chapter was read and the parent
Squad voted to write . to the baby
chapter "commending them on their
"Shut in from all the world about,
We sat the clean winged porch about;
Content to smoke, to talk and read,
While John and John cared for every
need."
Such was the little ditty that reach
ed my ears as I was standing on the
depot platform waiting for the train
to depart. This very appropriate
little song was sung by Elmer Bea
mer, and the Jims, Simons and
Stevens. These men are more fort
unate than many of us. They form
Heppner's Summer Colony which is
spending the hot season in the
palatial residence just north of town.

"Of course I attend all the meet

they should better things considerable
in this county," replied Marshall Mc

magazine.
"The Moral Squad is all right,"
said Elmer Beaman, but I wish the

dope seems to be working too fast

"Well, I hope you fellows stick
around until Fair time," drawled Johi.
Binns as he moved out of the sun
shine over to the west side of the
porch. "I hate to look for another
job just now."
"Say, John, I am getting dry, did
the ice man leave some ice for the
lemonade?" This caused a round ol
laughter because Jim Stevens was ac
customed to make that remark every
morning just as the court house clocl
struck elaven. John left the com
fortable spot on the west side and le
turned in ten minutes with a pitcher
of cold lemonade.
Well, I guess I had better be
going," said McCraw. The marshal
was careful to shut the gate as he
left and as he turned back t otake a
farewell look, John Binns was seen
carrying a couple of chickens around
the back way to get ready for the
noon meal.

The night was fino for duncing and

Mayor Smead was in the Herald
office yesterday and gave us a little
information about the Fair. Ho said
that all cattle must be tuberculin
tested before they can bo entered.
This is a wise precaution and is in
vogue everywhere. The best exhibits
at the fair will be sent to the State
Fair later on. This mould make the
competition keener in all departments.
Besides this, the County will have an
exhibit at the Portland Land Products
Show, which will be held in Portland
in October.
The definite arrangement of Fair
buildings has been decided. The main
pavilion will be built on the south lot
and will be 60x110 feet. On the east
end of this building and extending
north, will be the dance floor. The .
stock and poultry buildings will be
erected on the north lots. The move
able attractions such as a merry-go-round
will be placed between the north
and south buildings.
The lumber for the permanent
buildings is on the ground and these
will be started in a few days. Mayor
Smead has been in several parts of
the county looking after exhibits and
other Fair business and he says that
more interest in being shown this
yer than over before. Only a few
of the' regular attractions remain to
be provided. The popular Punch and
Judy man, he that entertains the chil
dren and those who have not lost all
of the boy and girl in them, will be
signed up this week. Mayor Smead
interviewed the Moral Squad of lone
and they will work for the fair.
