Marshall Phelps Now Flying 99 9 9 9 9 II II IIIIM MMH
in France. Y
Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Phelps have
received notice from military sources
that their son, Lieutenant Marshall
Phelps, has landed safely "some
where in France," and he is now
probably going after the kaiser's
scalp in an airplane somewhere be
yond the German lines on the west
fro.it.
The rise of Lieutenant Phelps has
been rapid. Enlisting less than a
year ago in the Marine corps, the
young man at once took to machine
gunnery like a duck to water. He
soon qualified as an expert in ttiat
line and was transferred to the air
plane service and sent to Florida for
training in the air. Again he made
good and soon made such a reputa
tion for himself as an air gunman
that he won a commission and was
chosen machine gun operator by a
pilot who is said to be the biggest
dare-devil aviator In the Florida
training camp.
Lieutenant Phelps is the second
Morrow county boy to win a com
mission in the army and his work
"over there" will be watched with
keen interest by his many friends
at homo.
8 Sixth Annual
Th
Hurry Duncan Returns From Fast,
Harry Duncan, who went East
several weeks ago as a delegate
from Heppner Lodge No. 358, II. P.
0. E to the big Elks' convention at
Atlantic City, New Jersey, returned
Sunday evening and judging by the
big, broad smile he wore when he
stepped from the train ho was mighty
glad to get back to Heppner's de
lightfully cool and bracing uummer
climate.
While in the East Mr. Duncan
visited his old home at Trenton, N.
J., rpent some time in little old !
New York and in company with a
party of friends enjoyed a 1300-mile
trip through New York state, visit
ing Albany, the state capital, the
C'Btskills and many points of Interest.
Harry says he didn't get sub
marined while on the East coast but
he did have to charter an uiiplan.j
every time he tried to get within
reach of prices of ordinary things.
Even a glass of mineral er with
a filler makes a long three-bit piece
look sick and other things are
splendidly In proportion. Fine
country to spend money In, quoth
Harry, "but too darned hot to even
enjoy that pastime."

HcopneriU's Visit (ireoiihorn Mines.
Jack McCollough and Mr. and
Mrs. Silas Wright and their son
Aaron, returned Tuesday evening
from a pleasant auto trip through
Grant county, their objective point
being the Dan Stalter mine in the
Greenhorn range in which they are
interested.
The mine is making a splendid
showing this summer and samples
of the ore brought back by Mr.
McCollough, show high values in
gold, silver and copper.
A number of lleppner people are
interested in the property which has
already been developed to a produc
ing basis and it U expected several
cars of ore will be shipped this fall.
Mr.. Stalloj', who is the president
and general manager of the company,
has had a force of men at work
most of tile hummer but at present,
because of the great scarcity of help
in the hay lields of that section, his
crew was given a layoff at the mine.
and are busy helping tli.: tanners
uul stockmen -if ihnt section put up
their hay crop.
The altitude at the mine is sou:,'
6600 feet and the snow falls ton or
twelve feet deep every winter but
Mr. Stalter Is trying to arrange for
substantial buildings before winter
sots in in order to be able to con
tinue work all winter.
Ciltli'iiii'ii IU'Iiii ii From Oimitin.
Hob t'arsner, Matt Hughes and
other cattlemen who recently shipped
a train load of beef cattle to Omaha
have returned and report a good
trip. Hanson Hughes, of this city,
who accompanied the party says the
weather back there Is iierce the
mercury registering around 110 for
several days while they were in
Oninha, the hottest known in thai
section since records have been
kept Homo 411 years. Crops urn
good and tho country back there is
prosperous but for all that Morrow
cour.ty looks mighty good after the
trip.
