HEPPNER, OREGON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2G. 1917.
NUMBER 25
SUCCESSFUL AFFAIR
STATE HEALTH OFFICER
SAYS HEPP. WATER O.K.
The annual Morrow County Teach
ers' Institute was held at Heppner,
October 15, 16, 17. The Institute,
under the leadership ot the County
Superintendent, Mrs. Sliurte, was a
most interesting one. It was well at
tended by teachers throughout the
county. A line of able instructors
was secured, and as some found it
impossible to be present, their places
were filled by local talent, so that a
complete and instructive program
was enjoyed during the three days of
the institute.
State Superintendent J. A. Chur
chill was present Tuesday and Wed
nesday and his words of advice and
encouragement to the teachers were
much appreciated.
A pleasant half hour was spent in
listening to the opening address,
"Welcome," delivered by Rev. H. A.
Noyes.
An Instructor whose lectures were
much appreciated was Alfred Powers,
of Eugene. The subject, "Squeezing
Life Out of or Into Literature" was
of special interest to Oregon teachers.
We were fortunate enough to se
cure Mrs: Ruby Shearer Brennan,
former Primary Supervisor of Port
land schools, as an instructor. Her
reading plans and suggestions were
very helpful to the teachers.
Mayor S. E. Notson delivered a
stirring address on"Food Administra
tion," urging the teachers to do their
part toward encouraging the conser
vation of food. His talk could not
fall to inspire us with a desire to do
everything within our power to aid
our country during the present strug
gle.
The lectures of H. C. Seymour, of
the Agricultural College at Corvallis
were excedeingly well received. Tues
day evening Mr. Seymour gav a pic
ture lcture which was largely attend
ed, at the Star theatre.
The singing was carried on under
the capable and inspiring leadership
of Mrs. H. A. Noyes.
Wednesday morning Dr. N. E. Win
nard gave a lecture on the care of the
kealth, with a special reference to
tuberculosis. Dr. Winnard had just
returned from a meeting of the So
ciety for the Prevention of Tubercu
losis, held in Portland and his talk
was very Interesting.
Rev. Geo. B. Van Waters delivered
two scholarly addresses which could
not fail to interest and please. The
subject of his first address was "Evo
lution" and of the second, "Patriot
Ism." During the institute two delegates
were elected to attend the Oregon
State TeacherH Association which
meets In Portland. Mrs. W. L. Sttd
darth was chosen to represent the
Morrow county teachers, and the
Northern Morrow County Teachers'
Association elo-ted Miss Clara Voyen
as their representative.
Mr. Jones, founder of the Oregon
Teachers' Monthly, and P well known
and welcomed figure at the Institutes
and educational gatherings through
out Oregon, was seriously III and
could not be present this year. As
an evidence of their sympathy and
admiration for Mr. Jones, the Mor
row county teachers sent own a tele
gram with a message of good cheer,
and hope for his speedy recovery.
Tuesday evening those who had at
tended the Oregon State Normal at
Monmouth gave a banquet at the Pal
ace hotel with the institute Instruct
ors as gnents. On Wednesday the
former O. A. C. and V. of O. students
who are :iov Morrow county tearh
erg gave a very delightful luncheon
at the hotel.
The Institute was closed Wednes
day evening with a few suggestions
and hints to the tea hers by Mrs.
Shurte.
M. OKTEN CASON.
TOM LOWE GIVEN A
Whatever doubt may have ex
isted in the minds of Heppner
citizens regarding their supply
of water for domestic use, the
purity of which had been seri
ously questioned at council meet
ing last week, was set at rest
Monday when the report ef State
Health Officer Robert E. L. Holt,
who analyzed samples of the wa
ter, was made public. The re
port showed the presence of bac
teria in the water as being neg
ligible and that neither gas nor
colonjbacilli were recovered after
2 hours incubation.
The report was submitted to
Drs. Downs and Winnard by the
Health and Police committee of
the city council both of whom
declared it to show Heppner's
water supply to be all right.
The report was highly gratify
ing to every resident of Heppner
as well as to the officials of the
Light & Water Co., who have al
ways taken every precaution to
guard their wells and distribut
ing system from the least con-
lamination.
Everyone will gladly tumble
off the boiled water wagon and
go to drinking the real thing
once more.
American Red Cross Shop
A "Superfluity Shop" has
been opened at 106 Fifth street,
Portland by Portland Chapter,
American Red Cross. The shop
is similar to shops which have
met with tremendous success in
England. Canada, Australia and
New Zealand, the object being to
provide comforts and luxuries
for American soldiers on the
fighting lines on both land and
Last Friday evening was the
time and the little village of Ce
cil was the place of the biggest
social event of the season in
Morrow county. In fact it is
doubtful if ever before in the
history of eastern Oregon has
there been such an affair plan
ned and successfully carried out
in honor of a single individual
and he neither a "pioneer," a
"native sou," an "old timer,"
nor, in the general acceptance of
that term, a"prominent citizen."
The affair was a reception and
farewell party given in honor of
Thomas H. Lowe, postmaster
and merchant of Cecil, on the eve
of his departure for Portland
where he enlisted Monday in the
Canadian army.
Cecil is a small community,
being hardly big enough in point
of population and buildings to
qualify as a village, but it is the
center of a rich and progressive
stock and farming community
and since Friday evening it is u
nique in being the only station
along the lines of the 0. W. R. &
N". Co. capable of giving a pure
ly private party of such magni
tude as to require the running
of a fully equipped special train
to accommodate the guests.
Scores of Mr. Lowe's friends
from Heppner, Lexington lone
and Morgan went down on the
special while still more scores
drove in from the surrounding
country until about 250 guests
were present to enjoy their true
English hospitality and to
pass the evening in social enjoy
ment. Parson's orchestra, of
Portland, was present and the
big ball room over the Lowe store
was crowded from dewey eve 'till
early morn with many happy,
