Interesting Innovation in Naturaliza
tion Com When Seven People
Are Made Citizens
A most interesting innovation was
introduced into the naturalization
proceedings in Judge Phelps' court
last Tuesday when a delegation of
ladies from the Women's Relief Corps
and high school pupils attended court
the students merely as spectators but
, e W. R. C. ladies as participants in
jLr ceremonies-
A class of 15 presented themselves
for final citizenship Tuesday after
noon but for various technical rea
sons eight of these were denied final
action until a later date.
The seven who were granted full
citizenship were: Catherine Doherty,
a native of Ireland; Alfred H. Nel
son, a native of Sweden; Julian
Rauch, a native of Russia; Alexander
Brander, a native of Scotland; John
Hartin, a native of Ireland; James
Molla'aan, a native of Ireland, and
Adolf Majecke, a native of Russia.
The four last named are ex-service
men who were granted their citizen
ship on their war record.
Court convened at 1:00 P. M. with
Judge Phelps on the bench and B. W.
Tomlinson, special agent of the de
partment of justice present as an ex
aminer. After a thorough examina
tion of each applicant the seven who
passed the test were addressed brief
ly by Judge Phelps who afterward
administered the oath to the class.
Judge Phelps then referred briefly
to the Women's Relief Corps, auxil
iary to the Grand Army of the Repub
lic, stating that a delegation from
the local chapter was present and
would take charge of the remainder
of the exercises.
Mrs. Bertha Drew Gilman, presi
dent of the local chapter of the W. R.
R., and a member of the National
Naturalization committee of the W.
R. C. then arose and Bpoke as fol
lows: It has been said there are but three
really Important dnys In the life of
a man; the day of his birth, the day
of his marriage and the day of his
death. To those who had not the
good fortune to be born under the
protecting folds of our flag there may
come another day, which, I am sure,
innkH equally in Importance with the
other three. The day when ho receives

BOARD MAX SUFFERS
FIRE LOSS
Fire destroyed the Ballinger lum
ber yard and the Haskin grocery
at Boardman last Tuesday morning
entailing a loss of $20,000 on the
lumber yard and $8,000 on the Has
kins store. Ballinger, it is under
stood carried $14,000 insurance.
The fire was discovered by passing
trainmen at 4:00 A. M. and an alarm
Si1 en. A high wind prevailed all
forenoon but by hard work most of
the town was saved. The Haskins
store was two blocks from the lumber
yard and it is believed sparks car
vied by the high wind ignited that
building while attention was centered
on the lumber yard.
'Ha. npner did not learn of the fire
until 6:00 P. M. when a telegram was
received by the Heppner Herald from
the Oregonian asking for news, the
first impression being that the new
north end town had been complete
ly destroyed.
The Herald at once notified Mayor
Vauglion and cr his behalf tendorad
resistance only m learn that the fiie
v.-as under control and only two
business blocks damaged.
It is believed the fire started from
sparks from a passing train.
The Ballinger interests are at pres
ent erecting a new concrete building
in which will be housed a new bank
au j the Ballinger hardware store.
JUDGE COMPETES WITH PREACH
ERS
That is. Judge Cornet would com
pete with the preachers If there were
any preachers in Heppner for him to
compete with and it is now being
charged that Judge Cornett is the
reason why all Protestant churches
in Heppner are just now without pas
tors. It is charged that the judge has
contrived a corner on the marriage
market and until this condition is
lemedied ,lt Is believed the churches
will have difficulty In getting a regu
lar minister to locate here.
WhMe nobody pretends that the
jud-r- cannot tie jU3t as hard and fast
a km t as an ymlnister of the gospel,
rnd it is admitted that If the first
knot slips, he Is perfectly willing to
tie it over ngaln, at the regular rate,
It Is said that a movement is apt to
talte form most any old time for In
stituting a recall against the Judge
on the ground that he has effected an
unlawful combination in restraint or
regular church services In Heppner
and if he don't get the habit of re
porting his marriages to this office
moie promptly the Herald Is apt to
line up with the recallers.
