Heppner lodge is growing and since the completion of the fine new home, is growing in popularity throughout this section. While Heppner Is the only lodge of Elks in a town of less than 5000 population, it is by no means the smallest or least important lodge. Chas. B. Cox, the retiring exalted ruler, has served the lodge most faithfully and efficiently for two terms of office and he will leave the chair with the highest regard of the membership. Mr. Goodman, the newly elected ruler, is one of Heppner's most active citizens and business men. He is a native Oregonian, having been born in Independence, grew up and went through high school at Pendleton, graduated from the University of Oregon at Eugene in 1910, lived in Portland and The Dalles while travel ing on the road for several years and finally located in Heppner three years ago because he decided It is, perhaps, the best little town in the world.

Kelly at a sheep camp near Cecil: Dr. Chick and District Attorney Notscn gave Stone a pretty grilling examination and de cided that he is not insane but more or less mentally deficient. He ad mitted having drank a quantity of moonshine Sunday night which may have helped induce him to attempt the collection. Asked how much he drank Stone replied, "I don't know, eounldn't keep trac'k of him." "How did you know when you had enough?" ask ed Mr. Chick. "Veil, ven I valk on hands and feet yust like a bear, den I know I had 'nuff." replied Stone. Mr. Kelly stated that Farley had not been near the camp for several days prior to the time Stone claims the blankets were taken. TWELVE CARS TWO-YEAR-OLD WETHERS GO EAST W. W. Stabler, of Portland, sent out twelve cars of two-year-old wethers Monday morning destined for the Chicago market. The sheep were bought from Pat Connell and Frank Wilkinson, the price being $6.50 and $6.75 a head. Ed Chidsey acompanied the ship ment east. WEATHER FORECASTER The Herald man was getting pretty much discouraged about this weather business when he started to work Monday morning because of the num erous complaints made by mail, tele phone and personal calls during the past reek but he is feeling better at this writing after having made a new appointment to (ill the position of "Official Weather Prognosticate!'. " The now appointee is none other than Mr. Samuel E. Notson, and this is how it happened: At exactly five minutes before nine o'clock Monday morning, Mr. Notson stepped into the Herald of fice and announced that he wished to make a forecast of the weather. "It is going to snow," he announced. How come?" inquired the h. m. "Because I say it is going to snow," was the emphatic reply. While ' the discussion continued and at ex actly nine o'clock by the court house ! chronometer, the h. m. glanced out of the window and, sure enough, it I was -mowing vigorously. ' Mr. Notson further explained that lie came into Oregon at 8:55 a. m. j March 13, 1886, just 36 years ago, ; and that there was so mudi weather on tap that day that he becameln- terested and has watched the weather j like a hawk will a young chicken ever since. "Don't lot them tell you that this season is unusual," said Mr. Not son, "for it isn't. When I crossed the Snake river at Huntington 36 years ago today, It was warm and bright and beatfteous. Little birds singing and big birds were bathing In the brook. Flowers were bloom ing and Oregon looked good to me. But when we got to LaGrande It was Bnowing like mad and the wind was howling. At Kamela It was worse. Four feet of snow and our train stalled. At Pendleton it was winter time wjth four Inches of snow. "No," he concluded, in a burst of poetic fer vor , "March is March wherever found, in Iowa or on Oregon ground " Mr. Notson did not exactly ask for the appointment of weather forecas ter for the Herald, he is quite too modest for that, but after witnessing his demonstration and hearing his story the h. m. decided that he Is the man for the place. ,. man that can nrM'i-t a enow snni and hive it rc :'.li;"'! in five n-irtut)- Is r.o plotjrh. nf-.r-L' of that yiVr I r.-ri:.. to Or- ton," confirm. 1 Mr. No'.mn. rl,,. in!

Launtz, who directs the des tiny of locomotive No. 1715 as it snorts along the Heppner right-of way, drawing it's priceless load of human freight and milk cans, was up town the other night navigating Main Street in waders while hunting for the Elk's Lodge. He found the lodge room all right and also an interested auditor to the latest news about the now famous turtle dove that had it's habitat at the depot most of the pre sent winter but which was reported in this newspaper a couple of weeks i'go as having gone north in quest of a cooler climate. Mr. Lruntz related ; that not only had the dove returned but that it had been, caught and j closely examinedby the depot office force and that said force, after a full free and very frank discussion, de cided that the turtle dove is not a i turtle dove at all but a woodpecker. When this astounding information reached the Herald, this newspaper ot once got in touch with Dennis Splaine and asked him about it. "Well," said Mr. Splaine, "I dunno. It may be a woodpecker and thin agin it may be a turtle dove, but this is the way av It. Wan evenln' Tol leson saw the bir-rd hopping around on the platform and bein' agraid It might lave agin,, he caught it and put it in the woodshed. Next mornin', Darbee was grouchy and said he had not slept well. Said somethin', that sounded loike It was in the wood shed, kept hammerln' all night so he couldn't slape. The byes thin wlnt to the wood shed to investigate and found the bir-rd and they also found about 40 holes pecked in the wood shed door that looked loi'ke a wood pecker moight have been worTdn' there. They took the little thing In to the office and were afther examin in' him pretty close and while they concluded that she looked loike a turtle dove and cooed lcike wan and i had a sad expression around her eyes loike wan, that he used his head a poundln' on that woodshed door just loike a woodpecker and so that must be what he Is. And," contlu ed Mr. Splaine, and here his eye twinkled a bit, "if that's might, I think they ought to get a cage for him and kape him In the office and give him a tie end to use his head on, for I do think they ought to have somethin' around that depot that would use his head wanst in awhile to wor-rk with.

CHARLES TH Baseball Fans ATTENTION Help the team by buy ing a ticket to the Benefit Dance Pavilion Sa'urday, Mar. 8 PRIEST TELLS STORY OF GREAT WAR REV. MALLOY, XEW ZEALAND, INTERESTS STAR A I' III EX CE Chaplain to Irish Regiment Served; Through War on Many Battle Fronts By far the most vivid and realistic story of the World War ever heard by a Heppner audience, was the lec ture given by Rev. Malloy, of New Zealand, at the Star theatre last Sat urday evening following the regular) picture show. Rev. Malloy, who is a. priest of the Roman Catholic church, was a schoolmate of Rev. Father Cantwell, of this city, in Ireland, and it was to' visit him that the reverend gentleman stopped off at Heppner while on tour of the United States. Rev. Malloy was traveling in Europe in 1914, and was at Munich, Bavaria, when war was declared. With other tourists he finally made) his way to Paris and thfn across to England where he offered his services as an army chaplain, and was assign ed to a regiment of the Irish Guards. His regiment soon went to the front and Rev. Malloy experienced all ot the thrills and horrors of war at Mons, Yypres, the Maine, nnd many; other famous battles. Later his regiment was sent to the, Dardenelles, and served for months in that campaign ngainst the "Ter riblo Turk," which he described us the most horrible experience of thu entire war. His descriptions of var ious '.cenes at the different battle, fronts in which he had personal ex perience, were sufficient to make) every hearer an earnest advocate of some International policy that will forever end all war on this planet. From the Dardenelles, the Irish regiment was sent to Egypt and ser ved through the Mesopotamia, cam paign, sailed up tho Sliat el A rah river to the junction of the Tigrf:: and Euphrates, where the Garden of. Eden is supposed to have been loca ted, camped nt the foot of Mm pyra mids and Sphinx, and on the ruins of ancient Ilabylon. During his tour of this country Rev. Malloy Is speaking wherever opportunity offers, not, as he 8ays, lit order to tell of his personal experi ences except with the object in view of bringing homo to tho American people some of the hardships and horrors the American soldiers un- derwent In their service across seaa and to urgo that this government and Its people redeem tho pledges made to the boys when they were sent over, of liberal treatment to thos who were fortunate enough to return. In traveling over thin country, Rev. Malloy said, he has encountered many ex-service men who uro out of work and in want and It is for these that he is giving or his time In depleting the horrors or war nnd urging a liberal bonus to the surviving veter ans. Klmer Williams, who has charge of the predatory animal hunters and trappers In Oregon, came in Friday evening to H"e what his "boys" havn been doing In Morrow county, and found that they have, an usual, been making line records. Another trap per will be placed in Morrow county soon, Mr. WillluniH Informed thu Herald .
