Over the Top in One Week
As Chairman of the Third Lib
erty Loan Committee of Morrow
county and on behalf of the ex
ecutive committee, we wish to
express our thanks to the speak
ers, soliciting committees and
patriotic citizens who gave their
services and the use of their au
tomobiles so freely, and were
the means of Morrow county go
ing over the top so easily- and
readily. It was due to the un
tiring efforts of the patriotic cit
izens that this feat was so easily
accomplished.
We wish also to express our
thanks to all who took part in the
various programs and by so do
ing made the same a success.
Morrow county's quota was
1140,000 and we have already
subscribed about $170,000, which
goes to show that Morrow is al
ways on the job and ready to do
her part.
This represents another hard
blow at the Kaiser. May he nev
er recover,
J. A. Waters, Cbm.

MILLER REPLIES TO .
TUITLE AFFAIR LETTER
Referring to the letter ad
dressed to Milton A. Miller, Col
lector of Internal Revenue at
Portland, and signed by a num
ber of business men and officials
of Heppner, which was published
in the Herald last week, it may
be said that a reply was duly re
ceived in which Mr- Miller says:
"My motto has been 'Kind
and Courteous Treatment to All '
In fact, we have gone the limit
to explain the law and assist the
public generally in making out
their income and corporation tax
returns. Everyone in this de
partment has had specific in
structions to be most considerate
with the public, for we certainly
realize that the law is not easy to
understand and has raised many
intricate problems If Mr. Tut
tle was discourteous to the people
of Heppner and Morrow county,
he was not carrying out the in
structions of this office.
"I can only assure you and the
other good people of your county
that this matter will have due
and proper consideration."

to capacity Saturday evening
when W. F. Mahoney, cashier of
the First National Lianlt and one

livered a splendid speech. He
was tollowed by Private McLaren
of the Canadiau army, who had
beon invalided home on account
of wounds and who spent the
week iu Morrow county helping
put the drive across. Private
McLaren held his audience spell
bound for about an hour while
ho related some of his thrilling
experiences on the battle fronts
of France and Belgium. His ad
dress elicited hearty applause.
Sam 13. Van V actor, who is one
ot eastern Oregon's most gifted
orators, followed Private Mc
Laren and iu well chosen words
he thrilled the hearts of his hear
ers regaiding their duty in stall
