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 over (hen1 and for the self-determination of small nations, ihat I; i: time for this gnat. !ib'-riy-lovin: nation to declare that a measure !

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. El DEFENDS fIJtIS I TELEPHONE RATES FAST!

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".
