HEPPNER, OREGON, FRIDAY, JUNE 15, 1917.
NUMBER 6
Morrow County, Oregon, has
just reason for self congratula
tion on the fact that she has no
"slackers" within her borders.
This was not only proven by the
unanimous registration on June
5, but the fact was further
brought out last Saturday on
the occasion of the big Red
Cross drive. People generally
are disposed to give credit for
the wonderful success of the day
and evening to the officials oi
the Morrow County Red Cross
chapter, and others who were in
direct charge of the rally, while
the officers and those in direct
charge are just as anxious to
place the credit where they say
it rightly belongs on the pa
triotic, warm hearted, open hand
ed people of Morrow county
whose hands and hearts and
purses are always "open as day
for melting charity."
The crowd which gathered
from all sections of the county,
and which was estimated in the
afternoon to reach 2500 or 3000
persons, was in a happy mood
and everything that was calcu
lated to uphold the hands of Red
Cross work received its liberal
patronage and hearty Godspeed.
A patriotic meeting was held
in the forenoon at which Mayor
Notson made a timely and well
received address, and a program
of patriotic numbers was enjoy
ed.
In the afternoon a big automo
bile parade was staged with
some 75 cars in line many of
which were beautifully decorat
ed with the national colors and
floral designs. Eight members
of the G. A. R.. all but one of
the surviving members of Raw
lins Post, led the parade, the
bronzed and grizzled "boys of
'63" receiving a good hand and
hearty cheers all along the line.
Following came the Goddess of
Liberty, the Hoy Scouts, school
children and many automobiles.
One truck bore a sombre looking
coffin, in which in a half reclin-
OF EASTERN HIP
Heppner High school will add
to its already excellent equip
ment at the beginning of the
next school year by adding
domestic science and art depart
ments to the present curriculum.
Miss Martha Struck, of Hood
River, who has been engaged to
take charge of these departments
next Fall, was in Heppner dur
ing the week looking over the
rooms which will be occupied
and preparing an order for need
ed eouinment. Miss Struck is a
graduate of the .Oregon Agricul
tural college and comes to Hepp
ner with the very highest recom
mendations from that institu
tion. The rooms to be used for the
new departments were designed
for this use when the new school
building was erected and up
until this time they have been
occupied by the janitor and his
family. The present need for
the rooms for school purposes,
however, made necessary certain
changes in the janitor arrange
ments.
Heppner's schools are as good
as the best in the state and the
addition of these new depart
ments under such capable man
agement will add to their
efficiency to a marked degree.
AIL SLACKERS TO
Bitter Road Needs Fixing
E. L. Marlatt, a well known
stockman of the Hitter country
was in town yesterday having
made the trip to inspect the
road before undertaking to haul
a lot of fat hogs to the Heppner
market. He found the road up
Willow creek utterly impassable
for teams aud says his only
chance for marketing his hogs
is to haul them to I'eudletou, a
'distance of K miles as against a
i-in.niilo haul to Henimer if the
roads were in condition to haul
lover. Thus does the question
of had roads bear down on the
! business prosperity of Heppner
in a way that hurts.

Under date of June 7, Dr. N.
E. Winnard, of this city, writes
the Herald from New York City
as follows:
(To the Editor) I am now in
the metropolis of the world a
city of more than 7,000,000 peo
plea city of high buildings, one
being over 50 stone's and more
than 800 feet high. Today as 1
gazed at those towering struct
ures I saw some birdmen cir
cling above with all the ease and
grace of eagles. They were drop
ping bombs on the city not ex
plosive bombs, however, but pa
per ones urging the people to
buy Liberty Bonds.
. Before telling about New York
I should speak of sights and hap
penings along the way. After
leaving the Mayo clinic I spent
one day in Wisconsiu at the home
of Father Goodman. It was not
much time to spend in a great
State like Wisconsin, but it was
long enough to learn that the
crops are very backward out
that the crop prospect is better
than LaFollette's.
Five hours in the "Windy City
were a plenty. The cold wina
blew a perfect gale aud my win
ter overcoat was not sufficient to
keep me comfortable. Last year
w hen 1 was here one person died
of heat every 30 minutes. Chi
cago has no rivals in her claim to
having the worst climate in the
world but it continues to grow-
in spite of the weather. We left
Chicago on the Medical special-
it 6eemed odd to hear so many
people talking in medical terms
and early Sunday morning we
were side tracked beside roaring
Niagara Falls, where we spent
the day enjoying this great uat
ural wonder. We took the belt
line sight-seeing tour around
Goat island, thou across the riv
er to the Canadian side, around
the Wh'ulpool aud the Rapids.
It was a grand trip. We aUo
visited the Canadian National
park. Its principal attraction is
an imposing monument erccieu
iu memory of one of Britain's
generals who fell near that tpot

We reached Albany at 4.o" a.

Portland, Or., June 14, 1917.
The period of grace for men of
military age who failed for any
reason to register on War Cen
sus Day, is ended.
From now on, every slacker is
to be hunted down without
mercy. There will be no more
leniency.
Governor Withycombe has
received official instructions
from the Provost Marshal Gen
eral, at Washington, D. C, that
the most vigorous enforcement
of the penal clause of the law
will be required against all who
have not registered.
It is announced that the quota
of men to be drafted into the
military service from each state
wiil be based on previous census
estimates, cot on the actual reg
istratioii figures, which in Oro
gou were slightly lower then the
estimate. Inasmuch us the men
to be called are chosen by lot,
the failure to register by any
man who should have done so in
creases the chances against ev
ery other man who did his duty
and registered.
For this reason, particularly,
and also as a patriotic duty, ev
ery one of the 62,840 uieu who
registered in Oregon is asked to
help in the drive to round up the
shirkcrs-
Of course, there may bo a few
who cau preseut legitimate ex
cuses fur not having registered
but they will have to present
them iu court. The time for leu
iotry is passed and imprison
ment faces those who tried to
evade their duty to their couu
try.
G. Aschembrenner, who was
sent to the penitentiary from
this county some five years ago
to serve a sentence of from 3 to
20 years for a statutory offense
committed Egainst his six-year
old step-daughter, has subscrib
ed for $100 in Liberty Bonds,
the money having been earned
and saved during his incarcera
tion. He is the only prisoner
reported as having bought any
war bonds.
Aschembrenner's case attract
ed wide attention in the county
at the time. He made his es
cape and was finally located and
captured at San Francisco and
after his conviction he almost
made a getaway from the county
jail. He had cut through the
ceiling and was about to escape
through the roof when caught.

Word reached Heppner Tues
day morning that Harper Stew
art, well known Heppner boy,
and who was among the first to
respond to his country's call to
arms a few weeks ago, died at
the naval training station at San
Francisco Monday. His illness
is said have to dated from his ar
rival at the training station and
it i i i i
was pranamy cute to amnion
change of climate.- His brother,
Mckinley btewart, enlisted in
the navy with him and is now at
the Presidio.
His parents, Mr. aud Mrs. J.
VV. Stewart, were pioneer resi
dents of Morrow county, but for
several years have been living at
Wolf Creek, Josephine county.
A sister, Miss Mary Stewart, re
siding here, left for Wolf Creek
where the funeral will be held.
OF LIBERTY BONDS
Heppner is not the biggest
town in Oregon but it is no "pi
ker" when it comes right down
to business. There was not
much fuss made over the Liberty
Bond drive but when it was over
and the dust settled it was found
that Heppuer had done her bit
at helping furnish the "sinews
of war for Uncle Sam in a man
ner of which she need not be
ashamed.
According to figures compiled
by llugn E. Bran, assistant cash
ier of the First National Bank,
who has been looking after the
Liberty Loan subscriptions in
this section, the total amount
subscribed here to date is fc'6-00.
00. Counting a population of
1500 for Heppuer. ihis makes an
average of $17. It) for every man,
woman and child in the town -and,
it seemed that no individual
wanted his name published in
connection with the amount of
his subscription: "Just let it go
to the credit, of Heppner." seem
ed to be the spirit of the purchasers.
