MADE IN YEAR 191?
In spite of war conditions
which have enchanced the cost
of building materials, labor, etc
to an almost prohibitive price.
Heppner has made many valuable
improvements during the year
just passed, all of which have
been of the most substantial and
permanent character. Not in
many years, so old residents tell
us, has there been so many sub
stantial improvements in t h e
town- The Herald has complied
the following list of improve
ments for the year which shows
Heppner to be not only a sub
stantial business town but a live
and growing one as well.

Christmas Cantata Great Success
The popular Christmas Canta
ta, King ot tne world, given
in the opera house Chrismas eve,
was a pronounced success. The
play house was packed to capac
ity by an appreciative audience.
The production was of a religious
nature following the earthly ca
reer of Christ from the time His
coming was foretold by the pro
phets until the end of his minis
try.
The production included al
most 150 voices, all local people,
and was rehearsed and managed
by Mrs. II. A. Noyes, who is a
director of high ability.
The entertainment was free,
but a collection taken during the
evening for the relief of starving
Armenians netted almost $00.00.
Mr. and Mrs. Joe Wilkin
spent Christmas with bcr father
at Arlington.
