Maurice E. Smead left Portland

Oregon's representative has sec
ured the privelidge of using the
lecture hall twice a day during
the show.
Morrow county will make a
good showing along with the
other Oregon counties. The best

play at the recent county fair in
Heppner have been sent east.
This county will have a compre
hensive display of grasses, grains,
fruits and vegetables at the east
ern show and the officers in
charge say it is the best ever.
LOCAL FOOT BALLISTS
DEFEAT LEXINGTON
Using rough tactics in the open
ing of the first quarter, but later
playing clean football, the much
flaunted champions from Lexing
ton went down to a 6 to 0 defeat
before the fierce onslaughts of
the dashing Heppner backfield on
the depot grounds, last Sunday.
The game was played in the old
style, mass plays and straight
line bucks, with no successful
forward passing with its open
playing.
The game was Heppner s from
the first kick-off, for at no time
during the game was the local's
goal in any serious danger of
being crossed by their opponents.
The home team consisted of an
all-star line-up. but the mdivid
ual shinning lights were Walter
Yeager, Hiatt, Maddock, Swag-
gart and Ayers. Hiatt's plung
ing was the feature of the game.
Lexington cannot boast of any
individual stars, but Dinges Rudd
and Pointer stood out head and
shoulders above their team mates.
Since Lexington defeated lone,
Heppner is now entitled to the
football championship of Morrow
county.
O.A.G. GADET BAND
WILL VISIT HEPPNER
Mr. Harry S. Walters, Drum
Major and manager of the Ore
gon Agricultural Colletre Cadet
Band, visited Heppner Monday
evening and made arrangements
for the appearance of his band
here on the evening of December
30.
It is with much pleasure that
we announce the appearance of
this band in Heppner, for when
it is understood by our people
that this is one of the finest ama
teur organizations in the West,
carrying a complement of thirty
five pieces, the fact that they are
willing to cover additional mile
age to make Heppner a visit will
be readily appreciated.
There is another side to the
story, however, and it is only fair
to the people of Heppner to com
pliment them at this time. In
making their first annual tour in
1912, the 0. A. C. Glee club vis
ited Heppner. This was their
last engagement on the road.
Here they were accorded the
heartiest welcome and the great
est success financially on the en
tire trip. The same may be said
of the University club on some
of its visits.
This fact has taken a firm hold
on the college people and they
never plan an Eastern Oregon
tour without giving Heppner due
consideration. And they can
well afford to for this is the big
gest show going town in Oregon
for its size.
In the case of the band, sever
al of Captain Beard's former
"stars" were Heppner boys, and
to that extent he feels a personal
interest in paying the town a
visit, but the stronger and really
potent factor is the appreciative
attitude of the people.

The first goose killed this sea

DEFEAT SOPHS-FRESIES
Displaying a great lack of team
work, but otherwise holding their
opponents down to a close score,
the sophomore-freshmen girls
went down to defeat before the
larger and more experienced junior-senior
girls of the Heppner
high school, in basket ball at the
rink last Saturday night. The
score was 9 to 6 for the upper
class girls.
Each girl starred individually
for her team, but Hazel Rankin
was the accurate -basket tosser
for the winners, while Margaret
Crawford made most of the points
for the losers. The centers, Van
Vactor and Bergstrom were there
on the jump.
George Case umpired; Helen
Ames, refereed; Lucile Culbert
son, official timekeeper, and Li
lah Clark, official scorekeeper.
The game was played strictly
under girls' rules and the two
teams lined up as follows:
SENIORS-JUNIORS
Huerhes and Rankin, forwards;
E. Aiken and H. Aiken, guards;
Allison, side center; Van Vactor,
center. .
SOPHOMORE-FRESHMEN
Thorley and Crawford, for
wards; Perry and Groshens,
guards; Goulder, side center;
Bergstrom center.
lone Vs. Cardinals.
The basketball season will open
in Heppner tomorrow night at the
Rink wheii lone and the Cardinal
Club of this city will meet in
their first struggle. The game
will be preceded with a curtain
raiser by the girls' teams of the
High school. The girls played a
good game last Saturday and this
next one should be even better.
The boys from below have
played several games already this
season and thereby have a de
cided advantage over the local
five, since the Cardinals have not
really had a good practice game
yet, and have not been able to
perfect their team work. How
ever, they should be able to hold
down the Ioneites to a fairly close
score, lne uarcnnais win De
represented by Hale and Craw
ford, forwards; Elder, Hallock,
Mahoney and Young, guards;
Rogers center.
The management expects a
arge crowd, for many tickets
have already been sold.
Mrs. Jack Devore is seriously
ill at her home in Heppner.
The first Sunday in December
is the time of the Elks' Memor
ial service. Hon. John B. Coffey
of Portland will deliver the ad
dress.
Mrs. Lillian Conser, formerly
of Heppner, but now of Port-
and, is chairman of the commit
tee on arrangements at the an
nual banouet of the Monday Mu
sical Club of that city. Her pic
ture appeared in the music sec
tion of last Sunday's Oregonian.
A party consisting of Chas.
Vaughn, Gene Noble. Lou ziegler,
Will Hughes and Chas. Cox, made
an auto trip down to the Jim
Carty ranch in the Sand Hollow
country last Sunday. They spent
the day hunting rabbits. Accord
ing to reports they brought back
with them, there was not much
hunting to it. The rabbits were
so plentiful that the boys did'nt
have to get out of the machine to
shoot them.

fiKE ROUND, TRIP
Ladies Aid of the Federa
ted Church Conduct the
Tour.
Heppner was crowded with
tourists last Friday evening.
Many globe trotters were making
a trip around the world by auto
mobile. The special points of in
terest visited were Georgia, Bos
ton, Alaska, Germany, New York
City and Heppner.
Cars began leaving the Hepp
ner station, which was the Case
furniture store, at 5:30 in the
evening. They left at regular
intervals from that time on until
8 o'clock. It took onlv three
minutes for the trip from Hepp
ner to Georgia. At this particu
lar station things greatly resem
bled the sunny South. With the
exception of the American trav
elers, no white people were in
sight. Many negro servants
were in evidence and they served
watermelon to the visitors. The
trip to Georgia was featured by
the songs of the picaninnies.
The journey from theF. N. Chris-
tensen residence to Boston was
uneventful. After a fifteen min
ute bean eat at Boston, we left
the LImer Slocum residence for
far-away Alaska. Upon our ar
rival in Alaska we were very
hungry and the natives gave us
some kind of a salad to eat which
was made of the native Alaska
salmon. It was good and we ate
heartily of it We spent some
time here admiring the beautiful
country with George Case as a
guide. We found much of inter
est in the trinkets which the na
tives made. Basket weaving,
little wooden canoes, blankets
and furs. Our happy visit in this
country was broken into by "the
arrival of the boat which was to
carry us to Germany. As we
left the Case residence, we en
tered an automobile which was
to make the first trip of its kind
across the water to Germany.
The water was fine. Arriving in
the "fatherland" we were met
by enthusiastic "deutchers" and
treated to a lunch of cider, "hot
dog," and sauerkraut. We re
mained in the old country longer

than we had first intended, and
when we did get ready to leave
the Patterson residence the boat
was late and consequently our
arrival in good old New York
was delayed to a great extent.
We had much trouble in satis
fying the customs officials and
health officers at Ellis Island, but
we were finally allowed to land.
After three Quarters of an hour-
spent here, we left the Phelps
home for Heppner, fully satisfied
that the fifty cents we had in

been well spent. Thanks to the
