NUMBER 48."
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

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

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

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.
