invited guests, in-
clnding city and county
officials,
and private citi:;"ns.
The dinner was on" of the best ef
forts of Mine Kvt Hart's efficient,
corps of culinary artist;-, and the
close attention given the menu by
the diners was about adl'the approv
al necessary.
Following the dessert, F. A. Mc
Menamin, ac'ing as toastmaster, pro
ceeded with the program, the open
ing numbers being delightful solos
by Mrs. R. J. Vaugban. Mrs. Ches
ter Darbee and little Miss Patricia
Mahoney. All the singers had chos
en favorite Irish melodies and the
bursts- ol anolause showed that the
sweet old songs warmed the cockles
of many hearro wtih yearning mem
ories of the dear old home.
Mayor Noble, in a few words, wel
comed the visitors to Hepnner and
C. L. Sweek followed with a few
witty Irish stories with a decided
local application.
John Mollahan. president of the
local council of Hinernlans, spoke
briefly but straight from the shoul
der in an appeal for liberty, justice
and fair play for Ireland. Mr. Mol
lahan, who is engaged :n farming,
rnd as such was entitled to exemp
tion from military Fen ire when we
entered the war, waived all claims,
entered the American army and
went to France with the first r.e-
tachment of American troops. He;
servedto the rnd of the war and took i
part in five great battles, and he i
had no reerets tor his experiences
I He insisted however, that if we were
truly fighting for liner-, and iuslic

Judge P. H. O'At'cy, of Salem, was
the closing speaker. Judge B'Arcy
is the son of Irish parents hut was
himself born in Palem so many years
ago that he refused to tip off the
exast date, "with so many charmlne
and eligible young ladies present,"
but it may be safely guessed that he
is entitled to membership in the Or
egon Pioneer society.
The judge is a gifted speaker, his
remarks showing evidence of a wide
reading of the poets and savants of
ancient and modern times, pfe
showed the fallacy of th
prevaieni
Dene: tnat tne insn question is a
religious or sectarian question point
ing out that while a majority of the
Irish race are Catholic, a large num
ber of their most prominent leaders
for centuries have been protestanr,
and that in the past, when it came
to deaiing with Irish unrest and rev
olution, the. British
made no distinction in
objectors to British rule because of
their religious belief.
The meeting was a great success
and showed a strong trend of pub
lic opinion in Heppner as favor-
l&ble to Irish independence.

Our position during the
recon-
struction period following the war!
is not an enviable one. AVe, by our '
very relation to the public and to j
the utilities, must assume a posture!
most inviting to the "kicker". I
We must consider the natural an-1
tipathy of the public to increased '
rates and aj. the same time bear tiu
mind that a commissioner who cou;c :
be .turned from the straight and nar. i
row path of his riuiy aim n-s oatn or!
on ice oy popular clamor would not
only violate his , oath of office but
would be unworthy of the respect of
any honest man.
In explanation of the telephone
rate situation in Oregon, may we
state that during the time of federal
control of tl,,. telephone lines, Post
muster General Burleson attempted
to place increased telephone rates in
effect throughout the l'niicr) ttit,.s
This CoinmisTi
sion, as you may recall,
,uu" wn.li iiiin and refused no
permit tne increases to become ef
fective in. Oregon without a thor
ough investigation as to the reason
ableness of such rates, a.m so ar a
we are able to ascertait. ,c so-calieu
Burleson rates are in efreri inrougn
out the united States, aim er,-,-,
during the past (wo yea;, naa en
joyed lower phone rates than those
obtaining in other western, slates
Having completed our investiga
tion and experimented at the util
ity's expense with lower rates dur
ing the past two years, we rind that
the company has actually lost hun
dreds of thousands of dollars from
operation in Oregon. We have there
lore, gianted an increase, in rates

! appointment of a commit lee of five
ladies 10 meet with the school board
to discuss Ihe purchase of a motion
piclure machine, and a coniniilt.ee of

been the practice of the organiza

Th seeding of the terraces north
of the scliool house is in progress
and a hedge is being set out in front
of the building.

O. King, president; M,, K. Doble,
vice president, and H. II. Crawford,
secieiai-y-treasurer. Il is understood
that, new application forms are Io be
used, and it now seems that, the
