Oregon politics was somewhat
enlivened yesterday by the an
nouncement of L. 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.
Next to Heppner Condon is the
best town on earth and it is a
safe bet that the visitors will be
warmly welcomed and spleudid
ly entertained this evening.

while the receipts of the evening

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.

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

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

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.
