Just a week irom Monday ana
thccity election. At this time
some considerable interest is be
ing manifested and probable can
didates for Mayor and council
men have been mentioned. Many
friends of Supt. Notson have lm
portuned that gentleman to allow
his name to go on the ticket for
Mayor, but we understand he
has definitely decided not to do
so. w. W. fcimeaa is iavoraoiy
mentioned for the place and
receiving strong endorsement by
leading business men. Just what
he has decided to do with regard
to allowing his name to go on the
ticket, we are not at liberty to
say at present. If there be other
candidates for this place their
names have not been made known
to us. For councilmen, J. F.
Vaughn, Chas. Thomson and W
0. Minor will run, and others
may get into the field. J. P,
Williams, present incumbent, and
Councilman Cornett will contest
for the position of recorder, and
Mr. Bnggs will be a candidate
to succeed himself as treasurer,
There is nothing at this time
to indicate a very spirited con
test, yet a few days may bring
forth rival candidates and a lively
scrap be the result.
If there is any one question
coming up to be settled at this
election, it is certainly the ques
tion of proper police regulation in
this town. Our people have been
patient and long suffering but if
we mistake not the temper of a
very large maiority of our good
people, patience has about ceased
to be a virtue, and the demand is
going forth for a complete change
m this department.
It should also be understood
that better conditions can be
made to prevail in the matter of
enforcing the laws and regula
tions governing the liquor busi
ness here. According to indict
ments recently turned in by the
grand jury, we have a right to
believe that there is gambling
going on in different resorts in
Heppner. In fact there was good
reason to expect more indict
ments than the jury found, but a
combination of circumstances
seemed to prevent.
Better conditions can and should
be brought about, and the City
of Heppner should at least be in
a position to co-operate heartily
with the leading peace officer of
the county and assist in all proper
ways in enforcing what whole
some laws we have.
The time is ripe to make the
change.
Pendleton will make a present

House bride, in the shape of one
of their famous Indian robes. It

That slogan, "Do your Christ

does not apply to Heppner. If
we are going to have a holiday
season let us begin before Thanks
giving, ana not wait until tne zuin
of December or later to open up.
Many people wishing to make
gifts to send away patronize the
ever alert catalog house for the
very articles which later in the
season appear in the local dealer's
window. In this day of rush and

Why do teamsters persistently
block the crossings with their
wagons or teams in order that
they may carry on a lengthy con
versation with someone who has
stopped them in the middle of
the street? A particularly no
ticeable instance was that one on
Main street one day last week.
It was just after a heavy rain
and the streets were very muddy.
On the edge of this particular
blocked cross-walk the mud was

fee returned from Pendleton,
Monday, with Harry Snider, who
is wanted here for jumping his
board bill. Snider also , wrote
bad checks that would amount to
$125 should several business men
here and at lone care to prose
cute him.
Snider is an insurance agent
working for the Idaho State Life
Insurance Co. He wrote a goodly
amount of insurance around here
but his business did not bring in
sufficient funds and he resorted
to the above method. At pres
ent the only charge against him
is that of jumping his board bill.
He is awaiting trial in the county
jail.
Thanksgiving Service.
The annual Thanksgiving ser
vice for Heppner will be held at
the M.E. church South, on Thurs
day, November 27, at 10.30 a.m.
Complete arrangements have not
been made as to the speaker but
this will be announced from the
pulpits on Sunday. By request
of the pastor, Rev. Goulder, the
different choirs of the town are
invited to meet to arrange music
tor the occasion, at the M. E.
church, South, on next Tuesday
eyening. It is earnestly desired
that there be a goodly represen
tation of singers present that the
music may have the attention it
is entitled to receive.
Fine Irrigon Apples.
Harry Cummin gs has this week
been passing out among his
friends in town, samples of Ir
rigon. Winesaps. ihe truit is
very tancy. It is beautifully
colored, crisp and delicious of
flavor. Harry is handling these
apples which are not execelled
anywhere; in fact we have seen
nothing from the ffamous apple-
growing sections of the North
west compares with these in any
way. ,
