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. '

HEPPXER EXPERIENCES DAY
LIGHT HOLDVP
Jack Stone was taken before
Judge Campbell yesterday afternoon
and examined as to his sr.nity after
holding up Fete Farley on the street
with a brick and requiring him to
write a check for $10 which he claim
ed Mr. Farley owed him for some
blankets he claimed were stolen from
him last spring while working for
John J. 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

HEPPXER HI SCHOOL LOSES
ATHENA 42 TO 18
TO
The Heppner high school basket
ball team lost their chances to repre
sent this part of eastern Oregon at the
j state tournament at Salem, Friday
night when Athena took the game by
the score of 42 to 18.
The Pendleton papers state that
it was not until the second half that
Heppner 's chances began t o
go glimmering. Athena's endurance
in the second half made it compara
tively easy for her.
Witcraft's stellar playing brought
him much praise from the sport
writers in the Round Up city.

IDENTITY OF TURTLE DOVE
QUESTIONED
H. F. 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.

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
