Will receive another ton next Friday from Irrigon. R. V. WHITEIS IONE, - - OREGON Frank Bell, of Blackhorse, was in Heppner last Friday transacting business. other town on the O.-W. R. & N. rail road. The first man I met whenl ar rived in town was the city marshal, Walt Cason. Walt said that the Moral Squad had not improved condi tions so that he was not needed but they were assisting him in many ways. He said that he was inquiring into a crawfish feed that was held recently. Business was good with Walt Mason and he was loading up several wagons when I stopped long enough to say hello. Gaunt the tailor was busy measuring up a customer for one of those hand-made suits which so many of the well-dressed men around lone wear. He also sells some haberdash ery and is gradually branching out. Gaunt is a nifty man with the needle and I understand that he has all that he can do. I dropped in to see Roy Whiteis who, with Frank Hopkins, was busy wrapping up orders and marking watermelons which had been sold. Roy bought a ton of these the day be fore and has another ton coming next Friday. He showed me his new ice chest where he keeps his meats, cheese and watermelons, and other perishable things. This is surely a fine improvement. Business is good with Roy and I wouldn't be surprised to see an addition being built on that store at this time next year. It being about six o'clock, I step ped into the hotel with our friend Gaunt and we passed thirty minutes around the family table. We made the acquaintance of a man who had just come overland by easy stages, in other words, he walked from Port land. In going up the street I saw J. T. Knappenburg in his Coal Car. Joe has been busy harvesting and from what I can learn, he knows how to tickle the ground and make it laugh with a harvest. Dick Turpin had a room full and there was a heated dis cussion going on about something that the Squad did last week. At the depot I saw Mr. Pennington, who was burning the midnight oil writing freight receipts. He quit at eight thirty, however, to take in the 'movies." One does not have to dynamite favors from Mr. Pennington. I met Mr. J. E. Cronan, the banker. Mr. Cronan was born in Iowa and gravitated to Oregon. Mr. Cronan said that the crops were good around lone and business in general was in a healthy condition. W. H. Cronk, pro bably the busiest man in lone, was hustling about looking after lumber prospects. About eight-thirty I strolled down by the ball field and along with other prominent people attended the tent show.v There is a fascination about tent shows that is not associated with other like attractions. One feels a .lort of freedom that seems to be in the surroundings. While there I was presented with innumerable presents, such as peanuts and the carelessness with which these were distributed among the crowd was wonderful, when you consider that no one was injured. After the show we started the old iron horse, Mr. Sparks' Studebaker Four, and in a few minutes we were out on the open road with the lights of the city growing smaller and smal ler until they appeared lost in the starry canopy overhead. w M W M M M m m M m w m m M W M M M M W M M W N Minor & Co. i Good Goods Heppner m m m m m m to to m m to m m to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to Jim Sheridan, the Butter Creek sheep man, was in town on business Saturday.

The editor took a little journey to the Egg City lat Saturday, lone, Oregon, has bn termed the Egg City 1 because it ships more eggs than any in time to the hills. We didn't have any expensive furni ture in those days. Rough lumber was nailed together for bedsteads, Rawhide bottom chairs we thought were fine. Schools were expensive to operate as we had to pay the teacher and buy the wood. Pendleton was the .'ounty seat and I remember once of seeing the sheriff taking an Indian there for filling a woman's mouth with dust. We made preserves out of ground cherries and lived considerably on dried beef and dried apples. I made traps and caught prairie chickens. Coyotes were numerous and they would hang around the chicken yards waiting to catch one should it come within reach. Fences were made of poles tied together with cowhide." Mrs. Ayers told me that she was a Baptist and a member of the Eastern SUir lodge. In politics she votes for the man and not the party. Mrs. Ayers can well be called one of the Mothers of Oregon. The knowledge of what this woman has done would certainly silence the per siflage of some of our so-called stronger sex who prate about "wo man's work." She has reasons to be proud of what she has accomplinhed and all womankind should partake of the Joy of this woman's success. Mrs. Ayers has the virtues of the Teutonic tribes, the virtues of industry, economy, self-renpect, a love of home, a love of children: all coupled with the habits that make for health, use fu'neM, long life junt the simple, old fashioned virtues of truthfulness and mutual helpfulness that the world can never do without Announcement I wish to announce to my many friends, former patients and the public, the removal of my office from the Bank of Heppner building to the corner of Center and Gale streets, one half block west of old location. There ia an entrance from both Gale street and Center street to the office and waiting rooms.
