I LAND AND CITY
PROPERTY SALES
E
Glenn and Alva Jones, the progres
sive sons of Mr. Jeff Jones, the well
known Rhea Creek rancher, have con
cluded the deal with Mr. Crockett
Kirk of this city, whereby they become
the owners of 455 acres of grain land
and 1000 acres of range land about
six miles south of Heppner. The
land has been and is at the present
time being farmed by Claud Coats
The price paid was approximately
$30 per acre for the farm land and
per acre for the range. The new
ners will take possession as soon
as arrangements can be made with
the tenant. These young men are
numbered among our best citizens and
are possessed of keen business intelli
gence something it takes to make
any business venture a success and
that they will soon be numbered
among our most prominent ranchers
is a foregone conclusion.
A transfer in city property took
place the latter part of last week when
Glenn Y. Wells purchased the house
and three lots, known as the Shutt
place, from S. W. Wattenberger of
Pendleton. The consideration was
$2500. Mr. Wells expects to move
into the place immediately.
Rev. Ferris of the Federated Church
preached to a large audience in the
church at Hardman Sunday afternoon
last. Mr. Ferris was accompanied by
a quartet of singers, Miss Long, Har
ley Adkins and Mr. and Mrs. Harlan.
Miss Long and Mr. Adkins sang a
duet, likewise Miss Long and Mrs.
Harlan, and the quartet sang one
special song. One feature of the meet
ing that was somewhat of a surprise
to the visitors was the large number
of young people present and Rev.
Ferris spoke on a topic that was of
especial interest to the younger folks.
The visitors felt well repaid for their
trip by the close attention the aud
ience gave the speaker and their ap
preciation of the special music.
The lone football team met the
Lexington warriors of the gridiron
on the Egg City grounds Saturday
afternoon and came out the winners
by a score of 32 to 0. The game
was not exciting as lone showed to
advantage over Lexington in every de
partment of the game and the score
shows the relative strength of the
two teams as near as it could pos
sibly be estimated. The Lexing
ton boys had plenty of grit and
staying qualities but seemed to be
green hands at the game and therefore
lacking in team work an important
essential in any game of atheletics.
LEII MATTESON DEAD FROM ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING
The funeral of Len A. Matteson,
who died from an accidental shot from
a gun at Shoshoni, Wyo., was held
Sunday morning last. Services were
held in the morning at the Christian
Church, Rev. Handsaker delivered the
sermon. The body was taken to the
Rhea Creek cemetery where burial
was made. M. L. Case had charge of
the services at the grave. A large
crowd of friends were present and the
Rhea Creek Sunday School attended
in a body and sang several selections.
Deceased died from the effects of
the accidental shot on the night of
November 9. It is not quite clear to his
local relatives whether he cacme to his
death on the range about 60 miles
from Shoshoni, where he had his
sheep, or in the town of Shoshoni.
The body was looked after by a physi
cian at that place and arived here for
burial Saturday night.
Len. A. Matteson was born in Jackson O'Rourke, who presided
County, Oregon, nearly thirty-nine
yeus ago. His parents were Mr. and
Mrs. Ben Matteson. They came to
this county many years ago and the j Coonie, Miss Russell, Miss O'Rourke.

The Annual State Convention of the
Ancient Order of Hibernians for the
State of Oregon was held at Hepp
ner the last week-end and was a very
successful meeting. Quite a number
of delegates were present from other
cities and these, with the local mem
bers who attended the meetings, made
a large crowd. Among the delegates
here from other places were: from
Portland E. II. Deery, P. E. Sullivan,
Patrick Powers, E. J. Murnane, John
Keating, John Kenny, Dan Curran and
Father Gallagher, who is Vice-President
of the Columbia University; from
Lakeview Daniel Brennan,
at which the Rt. Rev. C. J. O'Reilly
of Baker City preached on the gospel
of the day. Over a hundred men
formed in line at the Oddfellow Hall
and proceeded to the Church in a body.
Besides these were the ladies of the
congregation and the visitors. The I
building was tilled to its capacity and !
there was not even standing room, ',
many listeners being compelled to !
stand on the walk outside. i
On Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock j
the regular meeting of the Heppner
Division of the A. O. H. w.is held i'i
'he Oddiellov Hah anu stiie thirty
n- v member Te initiate The
Doherty, John Bryne, Patrick Tohr
who sang a poem composed by him
self, Dan Curran, and Jerry Brosnan
whose keen wit kept the audience in
a continual uproar. Father O'Rourke
says there were also several others
who responded but whose names he
could not recall. The committee who
had this banquet in charge are de
serving of words of praise for the ex
cellent entertainment they offered
their guests.
Another feature of the entertain
ment accorded the visitors was the
Convention Ball, given at the Fair
Pavilion on Friday night. This ball
was attended by nearly two hundred
invited couples. Axiong those pies
ent were all of the state officers who
were here to attend the convention, a
number of people from Condon, Pend
leton, Butter Creek and various points
of Morrow County, besides a large
number of townspeople. Music was
furnished by Parsow' Orchestra. The
