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.

"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.

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

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."

no similar organization in the
county, nor for that matter, any
where else, has anything on the
