J. Simpson, of North Bend, who declared him self a candidate for the nomina ' )n for governor on the Repub iican ticket; In his platform Mr. Simpson declares that he is a Republican, but not one of the factional va riety, unpledged to any clique or faction, and that if nominated and elected he will conduct the office with unprejudiced inde pendence for the best interests of the people of the state. He asserts his strong Americanism and believes every energy of the gevernment, state and national, should be concentrated on the work of winning the war. He pledges himself for strict law en forcement, for a national eight hour day, for national prohibi tion and for equal suffrage; for rigid economy in state and na tion during the war in the way of unnecessary public and private improvements; favors national military highways as military necessities during the war and as a means of employment for sol diers during the period of read justment after the war, and closes with a pledge of his best endeavor for the moral, social and economic prosperity of Ore gon. Mr, Simpson i3 a native of Cal ifornia but has resided on Coos Bay since 1896. He is th" father - of the town of North . Band' and ia one of the most prominent cit izens of southwestern Oregon.

Run Special to Condon Today Heppner Elks are just like bers of that order everv- bere and when they take a no tion to do something, which is frequent, they do it right. So vheo an invitation was received from Condon to attend a R. C benefit ball given under the aus pices of the resident Elks of that city, they just chartered a spe cial train, loaded it to the e-uards ith Elks and their ladies and friends, pulled the throttle out and threw it awav and "hit th rail" A near riot occurred this morning when it was discovered that Claude Andrews, the most notorious railroad conductor in the northwest, had succeded in evading the armed guards at the city limits, slipped into town at .00 o'clock this morning and an nounced his intention of taking charge of the special. He got by ith it by convincing the boys that he is the personal represent ative of one W. Q. McAdoo with the full force of the U. S. armv and navy behind him. The train left at 1:30 today and returning will reach Heppner a- bout 8:UU tomorrow morning.

UsraUl Offict for Job Printing Father and Son Rally Many Heppner boys took their dtddies by the hand last Sunday evenmg and led them down to tne federated church to take part in tbe special service which had been arranged in honor ol -Father and Son Week." Altho a number of ladies were present it was perhaps tbe first religious service ever held in Honnnor rt which was open to both sexes at which the masculine portion of the community was in the ma- jority. While the ladies present were permitted to join in the singing, that was about the only look in they had and for once the men and boys had the floor trom start to finish. Vawter Crawford, jr.. Norton Wipnard and Garnet Barratt, ihree of Heppnea's most poDiila high school boys, occupied the platform and back of them the choir alcove was crowded with a full male chorus, literally speak. ing; the alcove was full of males and tbe chorus was full of melo dy., Vawter Crawford presided during the service, Norton Win- nard read the 97th Psalm as the scripture lesson and the chorus opened the exercises by singing the "Battle Hymn of the Repub. lie? Rev. Andrews, new pastor of the Christian church, led the congregation in prayer, which was followed by the hymn "Tin Son of God Goes Forth to War." Short talks were then made as follows: "The Y. M. C. A. Tri. angle and r Citizenship." by Leo Nicholsony'The Ideal Father," by Garnet Barratt; "The Ideal Son.'' by Thomas Chtdsey. Tbe talks were all highly interesting and to the point. Leo Nicholson, class of '19, Heppner high school. sot forth the principles and work of tbe Y. M. C. A. in a splendid manner .and the other two speak era showed that they bad given careful thought to their subjects. Rather strangely, it may be sta ted, these two speakers agreed quite well in their ideas and ideils, better, perhaps, than if Mr. Cbidsey's place had been taken by Mr. Barratt, sr.. or Garnet's place had been filled by Mr. Chidsey s son, but of course this is only a surmise. Rev Andrews made a' few ap- propiiate remarks and Rev. Noyes gave a short lecture on Washington, which was illustra ted by stereopticon slides. The occasion was at once an enjoyable and profitable one, and brought out tbe fact that the Father and Son movement can only result in benefit to both of ttiHse rather Important classes of our citizenry.

Ciceronian Patriotic Program ine entertainment civen hv Ciceronian Literary Society of the Hennner nnhiin riday evening was a well atten id and most enjoyable affair. The k fwuu last program opened with the song My Native Land," by the full ichool chorus, and the execution )f this selection as well as the ither song numbers which helped nake up the evening's entertain nent reflected much credit not nly on the boys and girls but jpon Miss Baker, their instruct r in music, as well. Selections oy the Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs were especially fine. Lois Hall read a number of in eresting letters from Heppner High boys who are now in the service of their country, some u France and some in the tiain ng camps. Neva Chhlney read a compo sition on Lincoln containini? n uumber of auaiot and Ueasinir mecdotes of tha beloved citi zen, and Ruth Van Vactor trave the reading, "A Perfect Tribute," oeing the GetUsbura address ot the Great Emancipator and the beautiful story which has been so cleverly woven around that olassio by the pen of Mary An drews. The playlet, Washington's First Defeat," iu which Garnet Bar ratt took the part of G. W. in his callow days, was clever and if a true portrayal of young Wash logtoo's character he was arath. er inconstant lad in his relations with the fair sex but, it must be Admitted that when he "mixed il" With Miss Lufiv.' whinh rmr! was taken by Miss Brownie De Vore, he got rather tbe worst ol the deal. A patriotic sketch put on by a number of High School boys, showed the temptations to which a statesman mav ha pxnnKrd when big business and profes sional grafters undertake to use him in putting over their schemes The sketch was adapted and ar ranged especially for the oc casion by Norton Winnard, class of '18, and was cleverly arranged and well put on. Presentation of the school's service flag by Leo Nicholson was an interesting number. The (lug was made by the girls' sew ing class and contains 32 stars.

Oppoit Palace lintel, HEPPNER, - - OREGON NUMBER 42 WAGE FOR MORROW CO The crop and labor survey that was taken throughout Oregon 1 ist ween is still in progress in this county and from all indica tions laree Dercen'ftP'es nt tha o farmers have filled in and re. turned their questional es. The larger share of the work was in the hands of school teachers and children who in many cases went out of their way to see that every family received a blank. Through some error no blanks were re ceived for Heppner or Lexington, so returns from those places will be late. While the county agent was as sisting in the survey be took time to discuss with some of the leading farmers the question of 'abor for the coming year. Since our office is to be used as a free employment bureau during the year we hoped that some action :ould be taken to adopt a uniform :ale of wages. Many of tbe farmers were in favor of such ac 'ion and urged a meetiug of rep resentative farmers from every listrict to settle the question. It is thought possible to hold that meeting at the time the Morrow County Agricultural Council is formed, and in this way make plans for meeting the other prob !ems as they may develop. One car of Enrly Baart wheat har4ieen ordered for Heppner, nd a part of a car listed for Lex ington, which will be ordered lust as soon as enough is listed to warrant the purchase of a full car. Since the work of the county igent requires him to be out most of the time, arrangements have been made to stay in tbe office all day each Wednesday. This will enable those wishing to see the agort personally to know when to find him at home. Sat. urday will also be kept as office day whenever possible. F. R. Buown. County Agt.
