When Prof; Burlingame chaper
oned his husy quintet of basketball1
bloods over to Condon and Fossil last
week 'he may have thought he was
not putting a sort of finishing touch
to their education but he was. The
boys all agree that they learned a
number of things on the trip, one
being that this life is just one darned
thing offer another anyway. They
party also learned before getting half
way to Condon that it sometimes bliz
zards around a bit in eastern Oregon
and &lso that an automobile will not
tip.vel as well after an irreparable
breakdown an it did prior to the ac
cident. The young gentlemen also
made the more or less startling dis
covery that the girls of Condon and
Fossil are much more bewitching in
their general appearance than the
boys ar-e and also that the Fossil boys
can play a mighty fast game.
The party set forth Friday morning
by auto and soon met the blizzard
which raged on that day and soon
after passing Hardman their car
broke down. Mr. Ackley, who was
taking the car to Condon, gathered
the boys in and finally succeeded in
landing his load of ten in the Wheat
City very much frozen and starved.
That evening the lads covered
themselves with glory and bruises
in a swift game St. which they won
by a score of 17 to 22.
lNexr. uay me pany uiuve iu ruarui
where they engaged the live wire
Fossils in a hot tamale game in which
in a w'hilrwind of bruises, abrasions
and black eyes the Heppner crowd
managed to lose a closely fought
game to the tune of .23 to 32..; The
boys all swear . by the great horn
spoon that they never had so much
fun before in all their long and event
ful lives and they also aver with
muc'ii vehemence that Burllngame
managed two bully games for them.

to Ever Loyal Heppnerite
Gilliam & Bisbee, Heppner's pio
neer hardware and implement mer
chants, are getting settled in their
lino new building this week which
traveling men and others who should '
know, declare to be the finest build
ing in Oroj,'on, outside of Portland,
that ia '"xclusively devoted to hard
ware anl implement business.
The new building, which is a hand
some sirui'ture of concrete with white
'.ml re 1 pressed brick trimmings', is a
source of pride not only to the own
ers, but to every loyal citizen ot
Heppner as well, being not only "a
thing of beauty", but also a substan
tial monument to the importance of
Heppner as the commercial center of
this section of Eastern Oregon.
The building is 50x142 feet, two
stories high and with a full basement
with 11 one-story wing 27x60 making
a total floor space of almost 23,000
square feet.
The building was erected by the
firm with T. G. Denisee, well known
Heppner builder In charge of con
struction. The cost of the building
complete came somewhat under the
$50,000 mark but Mr. Gilliam, says
that had Jhey let a contract In the
regular way the cost would have run
considerably over that amount.
The sales room Is 50x90 feet well
lighted with a handsome full plate
glass front and fitted with the most
modern shelving, counters and fixt
ures. A roomy ana wen tignieu 01-
fice opens off this room at the rear.
Behind the sales room Is a big ware
house receiving room Into which the
largest size truck can drive with Its
load of merchandise. This-room, is
about 50x50. A big freight elevator
has been Installed In this room on
which all kinds of machinery and
other merchandise can be transfei red
to the second floor or basement as
desired.
The top floor, which Is not divided.
will be used as: a show room where
ii sample of every Implement, wagon
. ..K . 1 . . . t. 1 ... 1 1 1
or machine nanuicn ny me win
be on exhibit Ion. The basement whl
be used for storage.
i'lie 2 7x0 wing Is used exclusively
as a plumbing and tficct metal work
ing shop and Is conceded to be the
larcest and best eiiulpped shop of its
kind In Eastern Oitgon, If not In the
slate outside of Portland.
The firm Is the oldest buslneKH in
stitution In Heppner. The at ore whs
Marled by Frank Gilliam In July.
