NUMBER 49 HERALD I Heppner, Ore.. April 1, 1918. To the Hon M. A. Miller. Collec tor of Internal Revenue, Portland, Ore. We, the undersigned, residents of Morrow County, Ore., do re spectfully show: That one J. E. Tuttle who was in Heppner as a special agent of the Treasury Department for the purpose of assisting taxpay ers in making out their income tax returns, has caused wide spread indignation among the people of our county by his man ner of indicating to them that they were seeking to evade the payment of their just proportion of their income taxes, and by his many other acts of discourtesy toward the taxpayers who called on him for assistance. That we feel this to be a most regrettable incident coming at this time on the eve of our cam paign for the third Liberty Loan issue, and that it may seriously effect the same. that we believe a communica tion from you addressed to Mr J A. Waters, chairman of the County Liberty Loan Committee, stating in effect that acts of dis courtesy on the part of any spec ial agent are not knowingly per mitted by the government, nor tolerated if known, would in measure counteract the damage done by Mr. Tuttle. If compatible with the rules of your office we would appreciate such action, so that same could be published in the local papers at an early date. J. A. Waters, county clerk.

Ayers, of this city. Charlie writes the letter on British Red Cross stationery, across the top of each page of which appears the line, ''For God, for King and for Country." but Charlie has carefully erased the words "for King" from each page. It's not easy to slip one over on young America under any circumstan ces, and they are not over there putting up a fight for any sort of of king, good, bad or indifferent. The letter follows: "I will write you a few lines to let you know that I am getting along fine and hope you are all well when you receivethis letter. We are having nice weather here, just like spring today and it sure makes a fellow feel good, although it makes me think of my wool-tying job and the money I could make if I was home this spring, but we have got this job to tiuish before we take on anoth er one. Well dad, this is a funny coun try. We are in one of the oldest towns in England and they never had a picture show here until after the war began, so you see how up to date they are. But it is sure a pretty country. I will take eastern, Oregon forjnine; and I have seen considerable country in the last year Walter Matteson writes the Herald from American Lake as follows: "Well, I landed here 0 K and wish you would send me the paper soon. I am feeling pretty bum now, having just been vaccinated and will have another one tomorrow and still another one later. It seems very co'd here mornings, but guess we will get used to the change in climate. We have to stay in quarantine for two weeks. There are 140 men in our company, and 1800 arrived the same day we did. We had a special car from The Dulles and a special train from Portland. I have been on K.

The Third Liberty Loan cam paign opened in Morrow county Saturday with a rousing meet ing ut. lone, which was addressed by Hamilton Johnstone, of Port land, and some local speakers. Mr Johnstone is spending the full week camrjaitrninir ;n Mor row county, lone has a live bunch of workers led by such men as Cummins, Mason, Cronk. Sperry and Akersaud they over look no chance for boosting Lib erty Bonds, Americanism and lone. Sunday meetings were held at Kighlmile center nud at Dry b'ork hall, which were both very successful. Mr. Johnstone ad dressed both of t hese meetings, as did also C. E. Woodson, of Ileppner, and Harry Cummins, of lone. E. M. Shutt, of Hepp ner, who is reputed to be one of the best story tellers in the coun ty, also addressed the Dry Fork meeting in Ins usual illimitable style. Bis address required some g courage to deliver but he got by with it iu fine style. Three cars loaded with about '20 workers went out from Hepp ner to the Kighlinilo meeting and an equal number came from lone, and in tho evening drove ou to Dry Fork, where a rousing meeting was held. Subscriptions to the amount of ITiOi) at Eight- mile and $3000 at Dry Fork were secured, and an additional result of the afternoon's work was a LTiOO subscription from William I lend ricks, one of the big farmer patriots of Ileppner Hat. Mr, Hendricks is a largo property owner of the county and the fealty of men of his class to tho government at this time of stress means iiiucii. Monday evening a party of workers drove to Cecil, where a splendid meeting was held with Mr Johnston as speaker, and at the close of the add ress $0500 w as quickly subscribed, Wednesday evening meetings were held at Lena and Rhea creek school houses, the rooms being filled to capacity at both nn i ' nigs.
