(iood Getaway
A bold robbery was perpetrated In
Heppner last Sunday evening wher.
the Portland restaurant was entered
and robbed ct $269. An automatic
revolver was also taken.
The money was taken from a bed
room at the rear of the building and
the bold thief made his getaway with
out leaving a trace as to his identity.
At closing time Charlie, the. Chin
'"t proprietor of the place, locked
' - 4 ., sJVront door and after eating hin
' per i nthfi kitchen went to hif
bedroom and rested for awhile on
his bed. Before laying down he
placed his money and gun under the
pillow or 'his bed. After resting
awhile he went back to the kitchen
to put things to rights for the night
and upon returning to the bed-room
found the window open and his mon
ey and gun missing. Charlie at once
gave the alarm in the pastime next
door and the officers were at once
notified. Sheriff McDuffee and
Chief of Police Cason were soon on
the ground but aside from finding
foot prints under the window and
leading back to Chase street and
around the corner to Main, they were
unable to uncover any tangable clue.
The robber seemed to have very
effectively disappeared.
That the burglar was some one ac
quainted with Charlie's habits is
rather evident and the officers are of
the opinion that when Charlie locked
the front door and went to his bed
room the thief watched him, saw him
place the money under the pillow,
and when he left Che room it wag but
the work of a rmntcnt to raise the
window, , secure the valuables and
make a quick Ri-t-away.
Charlie has, been encaged in the
rcsU'.uranf bushier!! in Heppner for P
'number of years. Prior to the first
big fire, in Juno, 1918, he operated
restaurant on Willow street , ad
joining the V.v.7. -Ite-Tlmes office. He
was burned out there and later
leased the Portland Which he has
since conducted. He Is a quiet, inof
fensive man and a good citizen, much
more of a credit to the town than

To the People of Morrow County
oFr the past several months I have
been planning, and have finally 'de
cided to join the great and growing
army of salaried meu and women
throughout the country who are
signing their official positions, chief
ly on account of the high cor.t
living. In my particular case second
ary causes have contributed toward
making this decision, but the chief
reason is that the enumeration re
ceived is- not commensurate with the
services '"tiderfd nor witV the res
ponsibility t:Fiiiiied.
I had ped like the rest, that the
end of. ti'S 'wa.' would- bviae a, reduc
tion in the prices of necessities, but

I made a financial sacrifice to ac

like the I. W. W.s, the pro-Germans

The armistice ended all that, and the
sheriff's office has reverted back to

Deeply grateful to the people ol

xonoiate me from blame in milking

A large delegation of local Irish
men will go to Portland the latter
part of the week to lie present at the ,

Michael Kenny, John Kilkenny, John

will go from Hoppnt r.
Eani(,nu Do Valuta, president of
the Irish Republic, is one, of the big
figures in the world at the present,
time. Few oilier men in these later
days have experienced the pains of
martyrdom and the thrills of prefer
ment more fully than has" this fight
ing American who bears an Italian
n,,nie and Irish heart. He was born
in New York City October 14, 1882,
and in his comparatively short career
has had more thrilling experiences
than has most national leaders of
more than twice his age.
During the Insurrection' of Easter
week, 1916, he was in command of
100 njen hi one district of Dublin
and with this insignificant force he
stood off two divisions of the Eng
lish army until he received orders
to be shot but later the sentence was
commuted to penal servitude for life.
He broke jnil, however, and escaped
to Ireland where he was later, by n
three to one vote of the adult male
voters of the island, made president
of the republic.
He is now in the United States
pleading the cause of Ireland before
the people of the greatest republic
on earth and his present tour Is said
to he the longest and most compre
hensive ever undertaken In this i-iibii-
