WELL KXOWX MERCHANT CHOS
EN AT THURSDAY'S MEETING
Fred Tash is Vice-President Secre
'aryship Unchanged Road and
School Measures Endorsed
At a meeting of the Commercial
club last Thursday evening in Odd
Fellows hall, Charles, Thomson was
unanimously chosen as president of
the organization for the coming year,
W. P. Mahoney, who has served the
club as president during the past year
declined to allow his name to be pre
sented for re-election stating that he
"elieved the honor and duties, of the
ijosition should be passed around. P.
A. Anderson, vice president, for the
past year also declined further emolu
ments along this line and Fred Tash
was unanimously chosen to that po
sition. S. A. Pattison was continued
in the secretary's office.
The meeting Thursday evening was
one of the best held by the club since
more than a year ago. The club now
has a membership of more than 80
active business men who are contrib
uting members and the outlook for
an active year's work is bright.
The old Commercial club, which
had suspended operations during the
war, was reorganized a little more
than a year ago and several months
were required to work out a satisfact
ory plan for financing the organiza
tion. In fact it was not until the first
of the present year that the member
Ehip card system under which the
monthly contributions of each mem
ber are collected through the banks,
was perfected and put into operation.
The plan has proven a success and
after le&3 than four months an in
debtedness of several hundred dollars
iio hrpn cleaned uo and the
c'.v.b has a comfartable balance
, ia the treasury.
At the meeting Thursday evening
a request from the Oregon State
Chamber for an expression from the
membership on the seven measures
to be voted on at the May election
was given attention and after con
siderable discussion of the different
measures regarding roads and edu
cational matters, all were unanimous
ly endorsed by the members with the
exception of the measure relating to
the bonded indebtedness of Crook
and Curry counties. This measure
was laid on the table without action.
A communication from the State
Chamber regarding labor conditions
In the county was discussed and re
ferred to the Farm Bureau for con
sideration at its next meeting.
The mntter of continuing the ap
propriation of $100 a month to the
Heppner band for payment of salary
to Trot. Austin, the band Instructor,
was discussed and favorably acted
upon. Reports from the band indi
cated that tha organization Is making
splendid progress and that after a
lew months further practice the boy
will be In a position to be elf-up-porting.
It was therefore decided to
FuntimiP the appropriation for the
present.
The matter of ptovidlng an alrplnne
landing field was discussed and laid
on the table until further Information
can be secured.
A committee was appointed to eo
omrate with 8 similar committee
from the Civic club In regard to

A COMPLETE COLOR SCHEME
Don't make a monkey out of your
self by referiug to that new paint on
the front of the old Ashbaugh build
ing, now occupied by Fritsch, the
"Battery Man," as red, like a cub re
porter for the Herald did the other
morning, or you will get called down
proper. That color is ORANGE and
we have, as witnesses for the defense
not only Fritsch himself, but also the
artist who put the paint on.
The orange color is a part of a gen
eral scheme adopted by the big bat
tery company he represents which is
carried on most everything the com
pany sells from Philadelphia east and
west.
Fritsch, who is a pretty good sport
himself, has been struggling along
for months in a back room behind
the Heppner Garage and thought that
when the time come that he could go'
a location of his own "right on Main
street" his troubles would be over.
He now finds, however, that this life
is. just one d thing aiter another
and. now that he has a location on
Main street, he has no authority over
the railroad strike east and west
which is delaying his battery ship
ments as well as his advertising mat
ter. Fritsch is a pretty good adver
tiser, but he consoles himself just
now with the thought that if he can't
get the stuff to sell he don't need the
advertising matter. "I should worry,"
says Fritsch.
WILL MOVE STORE BUILDING AT
MORGAN
The Oregon-Washington highway
has been located to run right through
Fred Ely's store building at Morgan

building back some fifty feet and off
the desired right of way, Mr. Ely
agreeing to donate the ground needed

good roads and the arranagement war

paitlca conocern'd.

CHURCH QUOTA II
MORROW IS $3709
OREGON'S QUOTA FIXED
$230,000
AT
Movement Stands For Christianity
In Its Broadest
Sense
The "citizens' division" quota for
Morrow county in the united simul
taneous campaign of the churches co
operating in the Interchurch World
Movement has been set at $3700. The
citizens' division state quota is $230,
000. This sum is the total for the
general campaign, and is in addition
to the denominational quotas, several
of which already have been announc
ed. The campaign will be directly in
the hands of the Interchurch County
Director for this county.
This does not comprise a budget
for the Interchurch Movement as an
organization. The subscriptions to
tnls fund are to be dlvided amonog
th mnnomtino- nha, t
coming united simultaneous campaign
memberships of the various cooper
ating churches will be asked for mil
lions of dollars to carry on wor'k
which is not of a denominational
character, bu tis for the good of so
ciety in its broadest sense.
"The citizens of the county who
have the good of the social order at
heart will be asked to contribute also
through this citizens' division," said
the county campaign director, "not
fo rthe benefit of any one denomina-
tion, not even for the advancement of
the established churches from the
narrow point of view, but to the end
of bringing better, more wholesome
conditions throughout the world. For
hospitals, schools, missionary centers,
welfare work backward in' dustrial
fieldds. The program of the churches
cooperating In the Interchurch World
Movement Is more than a 'Christian
program in its ordinarily accepted
sense as applying to particular rellg
ious denominations. It is a human!
tarlan movement Christianity in its
broadest sen;;e."

shal Coming
Fire, supposed to be of incendiary
origin, damaged the interior of Dr.
Hayden's. drug store at Hardman at
an early hour last Sunday morning.
Mrs. Ayers .first noticed the flames
and gaev the alarm and neighbors
rallied, formed a bucket brigade and
extinguished the flames before seri
ous damage was done.
Sheriff McDuffee and District At
torney Notson went to Hardman Sun
day to make an investigation of the
fire and they found unmistakable
signs of incendiarism. Indications
were hat coal oil had been thrown
again: . - id under both the front and
back o -,e of the building and match
es applied. The glass ia the rear
door fad been broken out and it is
possiblethat oil had also been thrown
inside.
The interior of the building and
the goods were damaged to a consid
erable extent and, it Is understood,
the loss is covered by insurance.
Dr. Hayden himself was in Hepp-
nor when the file occurred, having
come in Saturday afternoon to look
after some legal matters in connec
tion with his stock of goods at Hard
man. It is understood that Deputy Fire
Marhsal Pomeroy will be here this
evening to make a close investigation
of the matter.

DIVIDED AS TO HIGHWAY
MKWTION
Citizens of lone are said to be
somewhat worked up over the loca
tion of the Oregon-Washington high
way through their city, one faction
being strong for the highway to fol
low Main street through the town
while other residents are in .favor of
allowing the engineers to locate the
highway along the base of the hill
east of the depot.
A mass meeting of all interested
was held there Thursday to discuss
the matter when county and highway
officials were present.
The highway was originally located
on Main street but later because oi
the trouble often experienced by
flood water from the canyon at this
enu oi tne town, me engineers nave
considered changing the location.
Judge Campbell, Commissioners
Bleakman and Padberg, Roadmaster I
1
McCaleb and Road Viewer W. O
Minor attended the meeting and M
O. Bennett, engineer for the highway
commission, was also present.
It seems that if the Main street
oute is followed it will be necessary
to divert the flood water to the creek
at this end of town by constructing
an open ditch which, because of the
character of the soil would have to
be concreted its entire length, involv
ing a very heavy expense. It is alsc

an opportunity go by.
I have been wondering if the peo
ple of Morrow county realize what
the passage of this bill means to the
college, uninversity and the normal
Lchool. SpeakinK for a A c many
people have said, "Why does O. A. C.
need money? Haven't they enough
buildings and grounds to keep them
going?" Yes, O. A. C. has lor about
2 500 students, but this last term our
total enrollment has been over 3400.
