HEPPNEK, OREGON, FRIDAY, JUNE 8, 1917.
NUMBER 5
The big auditorium of the
Heppner High School was packed
to capaciiy last Friday evening
to enjoy the entertainmdnt given
by members of the High School
which marked the close of the
school year.
Because of war conditions
which to an extent depleted the
ranks of the graduating class,
regular graduating exercises
were dispensed with this year
the entertainment taking the
place of the usual more elaborate
exercises.
The program was excellent
and reflected much credit on
pupils who took part as well as
on their instructors who directed
its preparation.
Principal feature of the pro
gram, however, was the play,
"Betsy Baker," in which Miss
Ruth Van Vactor starred in the
title role being very ably sup
ported by Miss Loye DeVore and
Messrs Earl Gordon and Norton
Winnard. The play was splen
didly presented, each of the
players showing a marked de
gree of histrionic ability.
Following the play, Hon. W
B. Barrett, chairman of the
Board of Education presented
the diplomas to the graduating
class during which he delivered
a splendid address to the young
graduates. Mr. Barrett is not a
practised orator but many there
were present who pronounced
his address on this occasion as
one of the very best they had
ever listened to,
Two members of the graduat
ing class, Samuel D. Stephens
and Cecil Lieuallen. enlisted in
the U. S. Navy at the first call
to colors and are now at the
Presidio, San Francisco, in train
ing for. active service. Their
diplomas have been forwarded
to them at that address.
Miss Muriel McCarty was
awarded a scholarship in Wil
lamette University for excellence
in her standind during the High
School course.
Following is the program in

Despite the cold, miserable
weather of last Saturday, the
date nf the Morrow County
Farmer's Union picnic, a big
crowd spent the day in Heppner
and while the weather wasu't
pleasant the occasion was and
everybody seemed to enjoy them
selves. Many had dinner in the fail
pavilion, where, around the big
hot stoves, and with the rather
wintry wind shut out, an indoor
picuic dinner was enjoyed. Mauy
other visitors and not a few
townspeople took advantage of
the occasion to visit the newly
remodeled Palace hotel and to
enjoy the excelent cuisine provid
ed by Manager Wilkins for the
occasion of his formal opening.
At 2-30 p. m. the pavilion was
fairly well filled by an audience
which gathered to hear the
merits and demerits of the road
bond question discussed. Hon
W. L. Thompson, member of the
State Roads commission for
eastern Oregon, made a strong
address for the proposition and
Hon. C. D. Strain, tax expert
and assessor of Umatilla county
and Hon. A. II. Shumway, of
Milton, Oregon, member of the
legislative committee of the
Farmer's Union, spoke against
the measure. If nothing else
was accomplished by the able
addresses, it was proven by all
of them that the bonding issue
was a debatable questiou.
In the evening from 8:00
o'clock until midnight, a big
BUY A LIBERTY BOND

government in its hour of need.
F. A Freeman, vice-president
of the Lumbermans National
Bank, C. C. Chapman, editor of
the Oregon Voter and S. H.
Clautier, of the Multomah Hotel
Co., will be the principal speak
ers of the occasion and it is ex
pected a large crowd will be
present and that much good will
result from the meeting. Satur

But little interest was mani
fested in the election last Mon
day in this county, not more
than 40 per cent of the qualified
electors taking the trouble to go
to the polls.
What little interest was shown
seemed to center on the road
bond measure and the returns
showed a strong sentiment
against it.
In the four Heppner precincts
the bonding measure lost by 10
votes, the smallest majority cast
against any lost measure. The
only measure carried in Heppner
was that requiring the election
of city, town and state officials
to be held on same day, This
measure carried by 228 yes, 123
no.
The measure receiving the
hardest jolt here was that limit
ing the work and increasing the
pay of the members of the legis
lature, which lost 62 yes, 270 no.

Out of a population of approx
imately 5000 Morrow county on
Tuesday registered 625 men be
tween the ages of 21 and 30 for
military duty. The number reg
istered exceeded all expectations
and mauy of the preincts ran
short of cards and had to be fur
nished additional supplies late
in the evening. There was not,
the slightest hint of trouble or
resistance in auy part of tho
county and not the sign of a
"slacker."
It was nj gala day by any
means and the young men who
registered gave the impression
that they icalized just what they
were doing aud just what it
might mean. They were serious,
determined, and acted like a
bunch of buys were seeking
neither v.ar nor glory but who
were simply getting ready to do
their duly when ever the occa
sion aiisc-s and they are. called
upon.
