COMMERCIAL CLUB VOTES 10 SUSTAIN THE
TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE
Will Stand Behind Application for Improvement
in Service on Heppner Branch Line.
The Heppner Commercial Club
met last Friday night at the
Oddfellows Hall and took up
several important matters. The
first business was introduced by
W. A. Richardson who moved
that the chair appoint a commit
tee of three to draft plans for
soliciting aid for the suffering
Belgians. This motion was car
ried and Hanson Hughes and J.
J. Nys were appointed with Mr.
Richardson to constitute this
committee.
The next business was the
choosing of a committee to rep.
write to the Railroad Commis
sion in regard to the Club's ac
tion. The next business was the
appointing of a committee to ar
range for a meeting to be ad
dressed by J. P. Smith, of Rose-
burg, on the reduction of taxes.
The Committee appointed tc

fering Belgians made a report

Why Not a Chrysanthemum City
The writer wishes to offer as
1 a suggestion that we name our
Hty of llcppn'or, .the Chry.ani
themum city. There is nowhere
that they can raise chrysanthe
mums with so little or less care
than we can in Heppner. I at
tended a chrysanthemum show
in Sanvah, Ga., Thanksgiving
Day in 1901, this chrysanthe
mum show was a big affair, peo
ple from all over the state and
outside of the state were there.
This leads the writer to suggest
that we can make our city the
chrysanthemum city and desif. !
rate Thanksgiving Day for the
chrysanthemum show. Let
Heppner be spoken of only as the
chrysanthemum city, let the

done.
The chrysanthemums are
blooming in the yards of Hepp

whatever. This is no exception,
for the last six Thanksgiving
services this has been true in

The funeral of Mrs. R. C. Mc

her home near Lexington la.st
Wednesday night, was held
from the M. E. Church South of
Lexington Sunday afternoon.
The church was crowded to over

tives of the deceased. The floral
offerings were beautiful. Be
sides the Lexington people who
attended the funeral in large
numbers, there were many pres
ent from Heppner, most of whom
were members of the Oddfellow
and Rebekah lodges, the deceas

Rev. J. D. Crooks had charge of
the services at the church and
