HIS- The best way to start this story Is to make the statement that Susan B. Anthony, the great reformer, died in1906. Getting back to more modern times, the Custom Cutter's Associa tion of America and Dr. Mary Wal ker had their headquarters at the New Willard Hotel in Washington during the first week of last Febru ary. On the evening set for the an nual banquet given by the associa tion to its members and their women relatives, somebody approached L. B. fiprengel, toaetm&ster of the oc casion, with tills proposition; i "We will have with us tonight tt)fc flower and cream of the custom cut ters of the world. It will be a great occasion. We can roftke it even greater than we had expected It to be. There is now in this hotel Dr. Mary " Walker, the only woman ever given permission by Congress to appear on ,the streets or in the house, at any time or any place, in the garb and habiliments of mere man. Why would it not be a great thing to have the custom cutters, the clothers of men, addressed by the only woman who has this remarkable privilege?" Mr. Sprengel said the idea was splendid. At the proper time, the introduc tions having been made, and the in vitation having been offered and ac cepted, the famous Dr. Walker ap peared in the lobby of the hotel, pre pared to attend the banquet and make the speech. She was in full evening dress, two tailed coat, two- legged trousers, pearl shirt studs white tie and other choice bits of decoration. The banquet began and proceeded. A commanding list of speakers, in eluding a couple of members of Con gress, said their little say, and sub sided. Arose Mr. Sprengel, prepared to spring the big event. "Ladies and gentlemen." he said. with that dignity which always en velops a man who is aDout to intro duce a famous character, male or female, "you will now have the treat of your lives. It comes in the nature of a surprise, but it will be none the less delightful and exciting. It comes in the nature of a novelty, but for that reason it will be all the more entertaining. I have the pleasure of introducing to you the only wo man who enjoys the Congressional permission to wear male attire. I present to you ladies and gentlemen, Miss Susan B. Anthony." The riot lasted 12 minutes and 33 seconds. Popular Magazine. MR. UNDERWOOD'S PROPHECIES E.G. HADDOCK AND WIFE ARE BANQUETED Former Hotel Man and Wife Given Warm Farewell by Host of Friends at Palace Hotel. THE LABORER IS INJURED. The enactment of freak laws in Oregon is not only working against the investment of capital in our state in the establishment of industries, by hitting the industries already es tablished is also working injury to the laboring class. In discussing this subject, C. G. LeMasters, of the Amity Standard in a recent editorial says: There was a time when it was nec essary for legislation in favor of the working class and against capital. That necessity was met and its re quirements accomplished, id doing this however the pendulum of legis lation activity swung back the oppo site way so far that such legislation is now a hindrance to the legitimate investment of capital in good enter prises. This action is just such as is always experienced. A wrong arises, the people are aroused and spurred on by their enthusiasm they go to exetremes, thus causing another wrong to be perpetrated instead of 'correcting the evil. A few years ago the hue and cry that the American workman was downtrodden and op pressed found a ready response in every heart because such was the case. But times and conditions have changed until now the workman in jjipst instances has the best of it. Many enterprise? are being forced out of exlstance simDlv DeL:use legisla tion, that might well be termed freak legislation has been enacted that has made it impossible for employers to meet the demands made upon them by the laws of the land. This con dition is now beginning to be felt in a determined way to the employed as well as the employer for the reason that whenever conditions are not such that business can be conducted at a reasonable profit it will stop, and without an employed there cannot be an employee. So it is like killing the goose that lays the golden egg to legislate in such a manner that cap ital will not invest in enterprises. President William Sproule, of the Southern Pacific Co., in an interview to the press the other day said on this subject "There are no hopes of a betterment of business condi tions unless public opinion complete ly changes. My hope and belief is that the growth of this country back ed by a sense of fair play, possessed by the American people whenever they are awake to the situation, will suffice to overcome the mistakes and interferences that hinder not only our business but nearly all kinds of business in this country. We need to open the factories and the mills and get the people back to work, We should stop the foolish theory that prosperous business is somehow pernicious to the state. It is a child ish fallacy that is dragging us into hard times." Upon the eve of their departure from Heppner, a dinner party was given at the Palace Hotel last eve nine in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Eli Maddock, who left this morning for Portland and to take up their resi dence after a few weeks spent in the metropolis, at Castle Rock, Wash. The decision of Mr. and Mrs. Mad dock to depart from our midst thus suddenly came as a surprise to their friends here, as it was not known that they contemplated leaving here at all. But this is only one more illustration of how uncertain things appear in this life. We have friend ships and pleasant associations to gether today with our friends and tomorrow they are severed by the decrees of fate and the circumstances of life. A change in the management of the hotel business Uiat is being worked out has made it necessary for Mr. Maddock to retire and he and his good wife are seeking other fields. Appreciating the fact that their friends would be glad of an oppor tunity to meet with Mr. and Mrs. Maddock in a social way before their departure, Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Wil- kins arranged an informal dinner party at the hotel and covers were spread for thirty. A five course din ner was served. Hon. T. J. Mahoney presided at the head of the table and good cheer prevailed. The occasion was livened up by music rendered by the Otto Orchestra and vocal solos by Miss Edith Thorley. The guests present showed their appreciation of this entertainment in bursts of hearty applause. At the close of the dinner Bring on your harvest hands. In his closing speech on the new anti-tariff bill, Mr. Underwood said: It was his belief that directly and indirectly the law will relieve the peopie of taxes for government anc" monopoly aggregating one billion a year. That it was his contention that with the exception of the Walker tar iff the new act would be less burden some than any other similar meas ure in force for seventy-five years. That commerce and industry have already adjusted themselves to the new conditions, and it was his con fident prediction that the. country was about to enter upon an era of unprecedented prosperity. That was six months and more ago. Have the exnenses of the gov ernment been reduced? We do not mean in the aggregate but in the items that the government has to purchase and which were on the tar iff schedule? Has the cost of living been re duced now that the billion of dollars in taxation which Mr. Underwood said the tariff laid upon the people is no more? Have any new manufacturing en terprises been inaugurated? Have the unemployed found new avenues in which to procure work? Are there any premonitions in the east of the coming of the dawn of that wondrous "era of prosperity" which Mr. Underwood's fevered im agination painted on his brain? We read tlie, other day that the first ship had passed through the Panama canal and had paid the tolls Further that the ship was loaded with sugar and was bound for. New York. Now when that ship's cargo shall We should worry about Mexico, we have troubles of our own. At the present time it looks like we won't have room enough to store the 1914 wheat crop. EIGHT MILE.

Oscar Keithley is figuring on pry ing up the earth and sticking a chunk under it If the present wheat crop doesn't meet with a hail storm or too much drought between now and time to bag it. Mr. Mahoney called for toasts to the departing friends. Responses were made by Frank Gilliam, the oldest inhabitant of Morrow county there present, Mrs. Emily Kelly, and C. E Woodson. Hearty expressions of friendship and pleasant business and social relations were made , by the speakers on their own behalf and in behalf of the people assembled, and these were feelingly responded to by Mr. Maddock. Going over the nearly eight years of his residence in Heppner, Mr. Maddock earnestly expressed his ap preciation of the friendships formed among the Heppner people; thanked them kindly for the splendid treat ment always received here. No big ger hearted, better spirited, generous and whole souled people inhabit the earth than the people of Heppner and Morrow county. Having been a resident of this state for the past forty-five years, the speaker felt that he had become thoroughly imbued with the Oregon spirit in fact was an Oregonian in every sense of the word and he complimented our peo ple and institutions highly. There is a great future for this town and this county. Our resources are only beginning to be developed and the next few years will bring about won derful things. Of this there is no doubt and Mr. Maddock congratulat ed the people on this bright prospect. While he is leaving Morrow county to take up life elsewhere, he is sure1 of one thing and that is that he will be a continuous and persistent boost er for Heppner. Mr. Maddock came to Heppner some eight years ago and has been engaged in the hotel business here ever since, being associated with his son-in-law, Mr. J. L. Wilkins. His former home was Oregon City where he engaged in business for many years. Being of genial, whole-souled nature, he made many friends here and assisted greatly in building up the hotel business to what it is at present. Upon leaving here the best wishes of this community go with him and his wife for their Suture. The guests present were: Mr. and Mrs. Frank Gilliam, Mr. and Mrs. S. W. Spencer, Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Irwin, Mr. and Mrs. M. D. Clark, Mr. and Mrs. Vawter Crawford, Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Mahoney, Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Wilkins, Mr. and Mrs. L. K. Harlan, Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Maddock, Mrs. Emily Kelly, Messrs. Thos. Brennan, H. II. Hoffman, E. G. Har lan, O. E. Farnsworth, W. E. Pruyn and W. F. Roberts. Mrs. Maddock was presented with a. beautiful cut glass dish and Mr. Maddock received an umbrella, gifts from the friends present by which they will long remember the high esteem In which they were held here. Rev. T. S. Handsaker, of Trent, Lane , county, has been engaged as pastor of the Christian church at Heppner and began his labors here on Sunday last. He expects to move his family here on Sept. 1st. The call to Mr. Handsaker is an indefinite one and it has been accepted by him upon that basis. A SUMMARY OF "SUMMERY" GOODS Warm weather necessitates a change to lighter and cooler clothing.
