HEPPNER A rousing mass meeting of Morrow county patriots was held in the Fair pavilion last Saturday afternoon, with an attendance of several hundred people. The demonstration was proposed by the resident veterans of the Civ il and Spanish-American wars, receiving the hearty co-operation of the city government, Com mercial club, churches and citi zens. An appropriate program was given in the pavilion and the oc casion was marked by a strong feeling of patriotic fervor. Mayor Notson presided at the meeting and in his opening re marks paid high and appropriate tribute to the (lag and what it stands for. Senator Stciwer, of Pendleton, was the first speaker introduced by Chairman Notson. . Mr. Stei wer gave an eloquent talk on the international situation as it appears today and made an ear nest plea for national prepared ness. His speech was filled with patriotic utterances, but was calm and deliberate, the speaker apparently guarding against say ing anything which might be calculated to arouse undue ex citement or hysteria. Senator Steiwer va3 followed by Rev. II. A. Noyes, of this city. Mr. Noyes' speech was brimful of patriotic enthusiasm and "pep." "Uncle Sam," he said, "has been smitten on one cheek, has turned the other cheek and received a blow there, IS BIG SUCCESS The pupils tho Heppner High School added another star to their crown of glory last Fri day evening by brilliant success I- E At the Farmer's Uuion meet ing lust Tuesday it was delinite ly decided to build a gram ele vator in Heppner with a capacity of 100.000 bushels. The cost is achieved iu the presentation of : estimated at from 18.W0 t the drama. "Home Ties." Ow- j20,0Uti. The construction will - . u ,.r i r I.iivi. ing to the stage of the school i uu ,J1 " ,JUU ulluso ' ,Mt "'i auditorium being too small, the play was given iu the opera house, and it was better so, as the scenery played no small part in giving the actresses and their foils confidence. A good audience was present and the actors did their best to please them, and pleased they were, as was evidenced by the hearty applause and aside of commendation one could hear frequently. The plot was woven around a motherless country girl who had been sent to boarding school in the city and there had made friends among the elite of so ciety, falling in love with a hand some young roue, and forgetting the clean, wholesome couutry boy who had been her lover from childhood. Hut of course the country boy won her iu the last uct, so there is no use telling you that. What we arc most concerned in is the excellent work of several of the cast, not ably that of Miss Neva Hayes, wlio portrayed the Widow I'op lan, a victim of imaginary ills too numerous to recite as well as tho village gossip. Miss Hayes was easily the star of the evening in point of perfect act ing, and the bouse was with her cost of concrete construction ut litis time. The machinery, etc.. however, will be lirst-class in every respect. A committee of farmers com posed of Dan Rice, C. E. Jones, Fred Tash and W- G. McCarty went to Condon yesterday to in. spect the elevator at that place and are expected to return to day. . The Condon Union built a 100, 000 bushel plant last year and so well satisfied are they with the results that it is understand they aro arrauging to triple its capacity in lime for handling this season's crop.
