I m ii JLgg Thursday, May 20, 1915. From this time on let everyone boost the Morrow County Chautau qua which comes to Heppner the week of June 26 to July 1. Really now, don't you think Hepp ner has just a little the nicest post office equipment of any little city in the country; and what if some of our people do have to travel some dis tance for the mail; they need the ex ercise, and beside it is better than having to go to Lexington, or pei- haps, Pendleton. Rains came rather late to Morrow rountv, and altogether we have had a backward season, but encouraging reports are coming in from all sides and we confidently look for a good yield when the harvesters get busy a few months later. Grain develops wonderfully fast.in this part of Ore gon and many is the time that our folks thought it was all off with the crops and yet there was a lot of grain at harvest time. Let us keep up our courage for conditions are Improving fast and there is much that is en couraging in the present prospects. The Oregon Voter is a mighty bright and spicy publication that reaches our desk each week, and how could it be otherwise with C. C. Chapman as it's chief pencil pusher. So far, the paper contains no adver tisements and it is receiving its sup port entirely from the subscription end. The ads. will come later, we presume, when Mr. Chapman shall have reached something of the ex tended circulation that his publica tion is entitled to. The paper is just full of good things valuable infor mation from front to back, and the voters of Oregon should not be slow in giving this paper their support. HEPPXER AMI 1 THE BU8INKSS DEPRESSION.

These goods were detained on occount of trouble getting thro the Panama Canal, and should have arrived in February. Owing to the delay, I MUST SELL NOW, and will close out this entire stock at COST. Paper hanging 30c per roll. 4 FIRST CLASS PAPER HANGERS 4 VICKERS the PAINTER Wall Paper : Paints : Varnish to be on the up-grade and there Is activity along all lines generally. This Is true. This town has not been hit by the so-called business de pression of the past eight or ten months. On the CQUtrary, building operations have increased as well as commercial industries, and at the present time there are scarcely en ough business buildings to supply the demand. As one man remarked the other day, "Maybe you haven't notic ed it, but Heppner is having a quiet boom right now." Today there are no less than four families who are searching the town over for houses to rent. The few houses that are for rent are all filled up. This is quite a contrast to other towns the country over, that have an abundance of va cant houses and idle men. It speaks well for Heppner, for she has neither. j THE RIGHT MOVE. The decision of the directors of School District No. 1, to Install man ual training in the Heppner High School the coming year is one to be highly commended. The good to be obtained from sucn work has not been questioned try our school board and this has been the subject of much discussion on their part in times past; the only reason It has not been soner adopted has been the lack of sufficient funds to hire an instructor and install the equipment. It has been ascertained, however, that nec essary equipment for starting the work is not expensive, and there is no need or eiaooraie preparation along this line at the present time. Tools and work benches for doing wood work will be the first to be put in and as interest grows in the work and there is need of it, additional ap paratus can be supplied. Further more it was found necessary to add to the teaching force as the school has been running liort one teacher for the past two years and the work is reaching such a point that it can not be successfully handled with the short force. This year the manual training is to be handled by an in structor who will also teach other branches in the High School and have charge of the training of the young fellows in their athletics. This lat ter is not an unimportant factor in school work these days and we are glad to know that it will be in com petent hands. Heppner High is mov- ng right to the front and is becom ing more of a drawing force to this town every year. We are proud of this school and are willing to back every move that is made to increase its efficiency. NEW EXPLOSIVE KILLS BY ASPHYXIATION. The rumor in circulation since the beginning of the war to the effect that the French were in possession of a secret explosive capable of des troying life on a scale not heretofore dreamed of, by the production of deadly asphyxiating gases, has been confirmed by the French military authorities. This explosive is called turpinite, and is the disoovery of M. Eugene Turpin, the Inventor of meli nite. It has already been used in a limited way and the statement is now made that preparations have been completed for using It on a" large scale in the coming operations against the Germans. At the opening of the war the ef fects of exploding turpinite were familiar to the experimenters work ing with it in the laboratory. It could only be exploded by vibration and at that time there seemed no safe way of firing it from a gun, for the reason that the vibration caused by the discharge of the projectile was likely to explode it before it had got clear of the gun. With a new field piece invented in December it is possible to fire shells charged with turpinite without dang er to the firing party, and it is report ed that the French and British arse nals have been busy day and night since then making the shells and the guns for firing them. When the shell explodes the gases caused by the explosion spread over the ground in a circle having a diam eter of about 100 yd. The gases pro duce paralysis of some of the vital organs of the body, with the result that every living thing within this circle is killed instantly and pain lessly, and so far as is now known there is no defense against nor anti dote for the action of these gases. "If the turpinite does all that is claimed for it, trenches will furnish practic ally no defense against it. The gases from a shell exploding within 50 yd. of the trench will simply settle into the trench and kill the men shelter ed in it. Shrapnel-proof and bomb proof covers will be of little use, for the gases in their deadly work will find their way through the smallest opening.

The lone girls won both the singles and doubles trom their Hepp ner opponents and likewise the Hepp ner boys took the singles and doubles from the lone boys. In the singles, Sybil Cason was entered for lone and Edith Thorley for Heppner. Miss Cason is an exceptional player. She was assisted in the doubles by Ruby Tomlln. Helen Aiken and Edith Thorley represented the locals in the doubles. Oraln Wright, for Heppner, defeated Howell of lone in the singles by a very close margin. In the doubles the locals, "Ole" Peterson and "Bill" Crawford defeated "Fat" Blake and Howell of the Egg City. A silver cup will be awarded to the two winning teams. Returns From California.
