HEPPNER, OREGON', FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 23. 1917.
NUMBER 29
EPPNER
T
The banquet given at the Pal
ace hotel last Sunday evening by
Heppner Council, Ancient Order
of Hibernians, was perhaps the
most brilliant social event re
corded in Heppner during the
present year. Covers for 125
persons were laid in the big din
ing room and so great was the
throng of members and invited
guests that it was necessary for
the hotel management to increase
the number to 150 before the
banqueters were all seated. The
menu was all that could be de
sired and on this occasion the re
modeled Palace again proved it
self such an institution as the
town has long needed a hostelry
where the people of Heppner and
Morrow county can meet around
the festal board and entertain
visitors from other places amid
pleasant surrounding and in a
crediiab'e manner.
Francis A. McMenamiu acted
as toastmaster during the even
ing and right well did he perform
that office. His happy introduc
tions of speakers and humorous
local references kept the diners
in the best of humor throughout
the entire evening.
Mayor S. E. Notson delivered
the address of welcome, on be
half of the city, in his usual neat
way assuring the Hibernians
that the city and alUt contained
that they might desire on this
occasion was theirs.
Hon. John ' Murphy, of Port
land, followed Mayor Notson and
was the principal speaker of the
evening. Mr. Murphy is an ac
knowledged master of the ora
torical art but differs from many
polished speakers in that at the
close of each of his periods he
has expressed a thought that
stands out in bold relief in the
mental vision of his hearers. His
address teemed with encomiums
of the Irish race, of their loyalty
and devotiou to the Emerald Isle
and its traditions and institutions
and to the cause of liberty and
justice for all peoples. Each ref
erence to America and her insti
tutions. to the Slurs and St ripes,
emblem of that liberty and jus
tice which they hold sodear, was
received with such hearty ac
claiu as to prove that no Celt
ever leuves his love of freedom
behind when he crosses the sea.
but that wherever an Irish emi
grant has erected his roof-tree.
there will be found a shrine ded
icated to that loyalty and devo
tion to liberty and freedom which
is the heart's blood of every true
Irishman regardless of sect or
creed.
Rev. Father O'Rourke deliver,
od a splendid address urging
loyalty to our government in
these troublous times and ex
pressing the conviction that the
cause of world democracy will
come forth triumphant from the
crucible of war.

C. P. A. Lonergan, of Pendle
ton spoke on the war relief work
being done by the Knights of
Columbus, the great Catholic or
ganization which enjoys the same
government recognition and ap
preciation as does the Y. M. C. A.
in similar lines of endeavor.
John Kenny, well known Irish
American, and native of Morrow
county, but Irish to the core,
spoke briefly and wittily of his
early conception of Ireland and
the Irish, and confessed that
when a boy he was disposed to
look upon himself as about the
only American around his fath
er's house, but iu later years
and after visiting the "ould sod'"
and meeting the Irish people on
their native soil, he concluded
that they are pretty good folks-
and his pride in his Irish blood
and ancestry began to bloom and
blossom like a red, red rose.
John Kilkenny, one of the best
known Irishmen in the county.
as well as a leading sheepman.
was introduced by the toast mas
ter as "King of the Irish in Mor
row county," and his excellent
address proved that no real
Irishman needs- to qualify as
priest or preacher, lawyer or pol
itician, to be able to express his
thoughts orally in a manner at
once rorcerui ana pie as i n g.
Mr. Kilkenny's address was a
gem. his well rounded periods
brimming with patriotic utter-
ances and loyalty to his adopted
country.
Michael Kenny, one of Hcpp-
ner s most respected citizens,
was introduced as the man who
had done most for the Ancient
order of Hibernians in Morrow
county. Mr. Kenny spoke brief
ly, voicing his love for the coun
try of his birth and his undying
loyalty to the country of his
adoption a count ry w Inch offers
liberty to the oppressed and op
portunity to the industrious.
An excellent orchestra of pu re

Mr. W. L. Kadderly. assistant
county agent leader for Oregon,
was in Heppner lust Sunday and
Monday and presented the mat
ter of the employ ment of a coun
ty agent to the County Court... It

maintenance of a
Ford, steno -

STANF1ELD Will MAKE
RAGEFORU. S. SENATE
Hon. Robert N. Stanfield on
Wednesday made the definite an
nouncement that he has entered
the race for the Republican nom
nation for United States senator.
The step has been urged npon
Mr. Stanfield by his friends and
admirers for many months but it
was not until this week that he
decided to yield to their impor
tunities and become a candidate.
The announcement will be re
ceived with much satisfaction by
the candidate's many friend's in
Morrow county, where he enjoys
a wide acquaintance and is held
in high esteem. Mr Stanfield
has been a prominent fiigure in
the state for a number of years,
he has served the people of Mor
row and Umatilla counties as
representative in the state legis
lature, at the last session being
chosen speaker of the House, in
that position displaying marked
ability and high devotion to the
best interests of his constituents
and the state at large. He is a
self made man and by his native
ability, industry and integrity he
has become a commanding figure
in the business as well as the po
litical activities of the state.
A lifelong Republican in his
political affiliations, Bob Stan
field, as his friends familiary ad
dress him is in the broader sense
1 democratic to the core. His
friends include men of all
rank and station and hia activi-
.ties have included many lines of
endeavor from working with his
1 hands to directing big business
undertakings.
Mr. Stanfield will doubtless
render a good account of himself
in the coming campaign.

for all who know anything about

good time is the middle name of

prise of the evening was the at-
tendance which was fully 100 per

giiiuu member of the committee
on arrangements and entertain.!
ment, of which Harold Colin was
chairman, had dared to hope for.

form of entertainment during
the early part of the evening,

W. G. Scott, who handled the
drive at Lexington, reports that
an appeal to the school children
of that town resulted in every
pupil, from primary class to sen
iors, becoming a contributor to
the fund.
Lena and Fine City were han
dicapped in the drive by failure
of their supplies to arrive until
the last day of the drive only to
discover that during the delay
Umatilla county collectors had
invaded their territory ami col
lected a considerable amount be
longing to Morrow county collec
tors. Hoard man and Irrigon were
also delayed in receiving supplies
but in spile of that both places
did well, Irrigon exceeding her
quota in one day.
It is noteworthy that in the
three towns of lloppnor, Lexing
ton and lone, vvliercliidge Phelps
spoke for the cause an amount
almost equal to the entire quota
for the county was subscribed.
