A firat claaa nrapaner entered at the postnfflce at Heppner, Oretron as second-class matter VOLUME 4. HEPPNER, OREGON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 21. 1917. NUMBER 33 HEPPNER HERALD E. M. SHUTT TO MAKE IE E. M. Shutt will be a candi date for the Republican nomina 'tion for sheriff at the coming primaries, according to a state ment made by that gentleman to a representative of this paper last Wednesday. Persistent ru mors had coupled Mr. Shutt's name with the nomination and the Herald finally decid ed to go to Mr. Shutt himself for the facts about a matter which is of general public inter est. Mr. Shutt's statement fol lows: "Ever since I returned to Heppner to live leading citizens seem to have it settled among themselves that I must come out for sheriff at the coming prima ries. Up to this time I have withheld my decision in the mat ter but the demand has become so strong from all the political parties that I now believe it to be a case of the office seeking the man and I have therefore decid ed to consent to allow my name to be used in this capacity at the Republican primaries. "It is certainly gratifying to me to observe that all the prin ciples of local, county and state government and good citizenship which I have advocated and fought for during a 20 years' res idence in Morrow county have been approved and ratified by the people and that most of those who formerly opposed some of these principles are now my firm friends and supporters. I fully realize the great re sponsibility placed upon the shoul ders of a peace officer, but if the good people of Morrow county see fit to again nominate and e lect me to this position I will cer tainly endeavor to merit the trust and confidence thu3 imposed in me." ' Our Boys in Uniform Harold Cohn got turned down because of alleged color blindness but he fooled the M. D. by changing his glasses and trying it again when he went through fine. Harold swore that if he couldn't get into the army or navy, he would buy and equip an ambulance, ship it to BVance and go along and drive it rather than come back to Heppner. He is now at Goat Island with a number of other Heppner lads and they all expect to leave that island some day and make Billy kaiser the ' Goat." Guyle Shurte, who enlisted in the hospital corps, is stationed at Vancouver. He reports that his first day's work as a Sammy was at the small end of a shovel and he learned the rudiments ol pick and shoveling his way thro life. Guyle was game tho and claims to like that sort of exercise. Good, Old Santa Claus E "King Of The World" This popular Christmas Can tata, by Lizzie DeArmond and E. S Lorenz, will be given at the Opera House, Christmas eve, by the Sunday Schools of Heppner. Ooe hundred and fiftyseven actors and singers will take part in rendering this favorite musical and dramatic presenta tion of the story that never grows old, and we predict that it will be thoroly enjoyed by the people of Heppner. The entertainment will be free to all, but it is eminenty proper while enjoying our Christmas this year that we remember the distressed of lands where fam ine walks in the shadow of war. Members of fhe Sunday Schools are requested to bring a dime for the starving orphans of Armenia. By order of Committee. Uffir , , . . x II. V, Gates, president of the Heppner Light & Water Co., who has under taken the develetuent of the Heppner coal property on upper Willow creek, informed the Herald Tuesday that a force of men are now at work in the timber getting out timbers for use in the mine and that a force of miners will be kept steadily employed during the winter. A promising body uf coal has been found across the creek froai tne old workings and un incline will be put down on that lo dis cover its extent, it is luily expected that, if the deposit proves to be permanent and in p'aee that tho quality will im prove with depth and that an other season may rind Heppner and surrounding country suppli ed with fuel from our own mountains- Santa's Christmas Gift to the Red Cross will give the Sammies Joy; the Kaiser Gloom Heppner-Ione Game Standoff Heppner football eleven went down to lone Sunday to walk around over the lone eleven again for an hour or so but some how or other the walking around business was pretty well divided up. As a matter of fact the game was a double goose egg affair and all the "best of it" either team had to brag about might have been put iu a gnat's eye. The teams were so evenly matched that there was no room for much bollerin' on either side and about the quickest way out of the matter is to call it an all star game aud let it go at that. Heppner still has the recollection of the first game to roll around under her tongue and enjoy, and plenty of faith that if a third is played we will come out on top lone however, has demonstrated tnat she'knows the game and is not at all afaid of bumps and bruises when kbe goes out to pluy it. Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Kirk were business visitors in Heppner Monday. K. F. Hvnd came up from Portland Monday to look after business affairs in Heppner fur a few days. Heppner Man Owns Mt, Vernon Springs E. N. Noble, a former Heppner boy, and who was engaged in business here for a number of years, is now owner of the Mt. Vernon Hot Springs, having re cently purchased the property from C. r. Waters. Mauy peo ple attended the dance given at the Springs recently and Mr. No ble reports that he had yo lor midnight supper. Mr. Noble is contemplating some extensive improvements at the Springs and expects to have the resort in fine shape by the time the John Day Highway is open for traffic. His hot spring resort will be one of the chief points of attraction along this famous highway. An analysis of the water from these springs, made by Professor knisley. of the Oregon Agricul tural College, at Corvallis, shows the following minerals: Soluble Silicates, Iron Compound, Cal cium Sulphate and Sodium Chlo ride. The temperature of the water in the different springs ranges from 108 to 123 degrees fahrenheit. Dr. G. M. Roberts, one of the oldest established and leading physicians of the county, says of the Mt. Vernon Springs: "I find upon examination of the chemi cal report made, that the Mt. Vernon Warm Springs contain valuable medical properties and would espec tally recommend them for the treatment of rheu matism, skin diseases and all ca tarrhal conditions of the stom ach." DR. GUNSTER VETERINARIAN LICENSED GRADUATE Red Cross Notes Mrs. Binns, chairman of the Civillian Relief committe of Morrow County Chapter, Amer ican Red cross has been advised by F. P.

The work has been thoroughly systematized and everything is running like clock work. Mrs. Herren affirms that no similar organization in the county, nor for that matter, any where else, has anything on the Lexington auxiliary. A splendid luncheon was served at noon Saturday and the occasion was at once enjoyable as a social func lion and profitable to the great cuuse in which all Red Cross workers ar'1 engaged.
