ful culmination. Mr. A. L. Sparling

E. J. Merrill, who was down to
Heppner on Monday from his farm
near Hardman, reports that he and
his neighbor, W. H. Miller, killed a
good sized black bear at the Otis
Shanor place on Friday evening last.
They were coming in from the re
serve where they had been with a
bunch of cattle, and as luck would
have it, neither one had a gun
They treed Mr. Bear, however, and
Merrill kept him up there until Mil
ler could go a distance of about 4
miles for his gun and return, when
the animal was soon dispatched.
They thought first of lassoing the
bear and bringing him in as a cap
tive but were prevented from doing
this by the brush. He was a fine
specimen, being about 18 months old

REPUBLICAN VOTERS
SHM BEWARE
Party Should Be Represented
en National Committee
By a Republican
The Republicans of Oregon are en
titled to have a Republican named as
the National Republican Committee
man from this State. C. W. Ackerson,
who claims to be a Republican, is a
candidate. He registered as a Progres
sive January S, 1914. Then signed peti
tion of H. W. Coe to be Progressive
National Committeeman. Then can
celled his registration as a Progres
sive and registered as a Republican
and immediately filed his candidacy
for membership on Republican Nation
al Committee. Has been an Intimate
and convenient understudy of the Pro
gressive National Committeeman and
seems now to be in combination with
him in an attempt to shanghai the
Republican organization. His candi
dacy is being actively backed by par
ties hostile to the Republican party
and having personal Interests and pri
vate personal grudges to serve. His
erratic and excitable temperament has
frequently led him to flood the col
umns of the press with violent attacks
upon the Republican party and vicious
personal abuse of prominent Republi
cans and life-long residents of the
State.
It i3 a grave abuse for parties who
are not Republican to register as such.
It is a graver abuse for outsiders to
attempt the capture of a political par
ty to gratify a personal grudge and
to promote party discord. It is an
abuse against which fair-minded men
of all parties will rise in protest. We
can never have a reunited party by
pushing to the front political hotheads
and men who are political reformers
simply for the sake of office. Having
been a Republican only twenty-four
hours when he announced his candi
dacy for the highest honorary position
in the gift of the party, is some indi
cation of what Mr. Ackerson'B "motive
was In registering as a Republican.
As Hon. Ralph E. Williams is the only
Republican who is a candidate (or
Republican National Committeeman,
we feel warranted in urging all loyal
Republicans in the state to give him
their earnest and enthusiastic support,

To The Members of The Library
Association.
On last Saturday afternoon
there was an attempt to have a
meeting of the members of the Hepp
ner Library Association for the pur
pose of electing officers for the en-
ulng year, and but five ladies were
In attendance. Due notice had been
;iven of time and place of meeting
but apparently no attenlon was paid
l.o it. It is important that this bus
iness he attended to, and another
meeting is called for 3 o'clock p m.,
Tuesday, May 12. Should -there
not be a sufficient number present
'o elect at this time, the present of
floors will hold over for the ensuinj
year, as this is all that can be ,donc
under such circumstances.

Rev. O. W. Elliott of Portland

Shovelful of Earth to Be
Thrown by Each Visitor
Toward New Build
ings. University of Oregon, Eugene, May
4 Hundreds of Oregon high school
students will come to Eugene this
week for junior week-ond, and each
of them is to throw one shovelful of
dirt In excavation for buildings that
are likely in a short time to be the
scene of his advanced studies. The
ground-breaking ceremony will be
tor the $30,000 wing that is to treble
the capacity of the library, and for
the addition to the building where
the new School of Commerce will be
housed.
A second ground-breaking cere
mony is also to take place this
spring: It will be for the main ad
ministration and classroom building,
in Juno, and is to be attended by
Governor West, the board of regents,
the full commencement crowd and
many alumni.
Of these two items of the building
program, the first is to be finished
by September; it consists of the li
brary wing, the dormitory wing, the
Commerce building wing, repairs to
Deady hall and extension of the cen
tral heating plant. The second is to
be finished by next February; it con
sists only of the administration
building.
About 400 high school boys and
girls are expected here this week.
Of these, 250 will be athletes who
will come to participate in the fourth
annual state interscholastic track
meet. This track meet is given un
der the auspices of the student body,
which guarantees the expenses of
four students from each Willamette
valley high school and also of first
place winners in the eastern Oregon
meet, which was held at Wallowa
Saturday. The winning relay team
at the eastern Oregon meet will also
be brought. Other athletes, many
of wh6m will come, will pay their
own transportation, but entertain
ment is provided by the student
houses in Eugene, several of which
will have between 20 and 30 guests
each.
Fifty high and preparatory schools
will be represented in the meet, it
is expected. Schools as far south as
Ashland and as far east as Ontario
are to have men here.
Admittance to the various student
activities, except the senior play,
will be free to the visitors, and the
3tudent body purposes extending
every' hospitality. No junior week
ond pledging to student societies or
groups of any kind is to be done.
3uch pledging has been a custom of
the past, but concerted agreement
among the members of the men's
new Pan-Hellenic forbids it this year.
the inland empire tea-
ch;;i.s' association.
The meeting of the Inland Empire
Teachers' Association, which was
held at Spokane, was one of the lar
gest and most successful meetings
over held west of the Rocky Moun
tains In point of attendance, the
lumber present rivaled the N. E. A.
it was estimated that 2000 teachers
ind school officers were present, and
;he enrollment parcentage Indicated
.hat the estimate was about right.
The program was fuli of Interest.
No lack of life was manifest. Supt.
I. H. Francis, of Los Angeles, and
LibrarianA. E. Bostwick, of St. Louis
were the leading outside speakers.
Tlie discussions in the section
meetings indicated that people are
awake to the fact that we are in the
midst of a revolution In the educa
tional world. In the school offirers'
section, O. M. Plummer, of Portland,
and Mrs. G. D. McQuesten, of the
Board of' Education of Tacoma,
aroused much interest In questions
as seen from the point of view of a
member of a school board. Every
one present knew that Portland and
Tacoma had made no mistake in the
election of these members of their
Boards. They both were listened
to with the delight by the parent
teacher section also. State Supt.
Churchill and Assistant State Supt.
Carleton delivered excellent ad
dresses before the school officers'
section. The experiment of having
a section where the superintendents
and members of school boards could
meet and discuss questions from
both points of view proved that such
meetings can be made very profit
able. It Is planned to have a great
er meeting of this kind at the N. E.
A. at St. Paul in July.
Oregon was well represented at
the meeting, but the county super
intendents and school board mem
bers from Oregon were not as much
In evidence as It had been hoped that
they would be. No doubt there will
be a larger attendance next year.

The work of the term is starting oft
very nicely. A new chart and a

cently added to the equipment. Ar .
rangements have been made cj pipe
the water from a spring to th sclu til
premises. When this is completed
chis school will have an excellent wa
ter supply.
The following day I visited the
school In District No 61. Mrs. Har
riot Stephens is the teacher. Sev
enteen pupils were prasent. All
appeared to be diligent in their
work, and a splendid interest was
manifest. The Interior of the build
ing appears quite cheery and com
fotable since the walls and ceiling
have been, painted a soft cream col
or. Lumber is on the ground for a
new fence around the grounds. A
new state map and a new chart have
been purchased recently.
In District No. 14 the boys' out
building needed some repairs and a
scrubbing. Frank McGrath, one of
the pupils took the matter In hand,
and the building Is now In good re
pair and excellent condition. A
little of the spirit shown by Frank
manifested in many districts would
result in some worthy improve
ments. THE FEDERATED CHURCH.
