RESOLUTIONS OF CONDOLEXCE.
Whereas it has pleased God to
bring to a close the long and useful
life of brother Jasper V. Crawford,
and to call him to that rest which
only they can know who have labored
through many years for their fellow
men;
Be it therefore Resolved that while
Heppner Lodge No. 69, A. F. and A.
M. deplores the loss of a true and
venerable member, yet it rejoices in
the beautiful life now finished, and
holds in fond remembrance the rec
ord which he has left. Brother
Crawford was ever a true and
worthy Mason, daily exemplifying
in his own life the noble precepts
and admonitions of our craft. Our
hearts are saddened by his going
from us, but we would not detain
him from that fitting reward, which
only the hand of our Grand Master
can bestow.
Resolved that this Lodge extends
to the family of our departed brother
Us sincere sympathy in this hour of
sorrow.
Be it further Resolved, that a copy
of these resolutions be spread upon
the minutes of the lodge, that a copy
be transmitted to the family of the
deceased brother and that a copy be
furnished the local press for pub
lication. FRANK GILLIAM,

BDARDMAN ON THE
GEN
TEROF LARGEIRRIGATED
"2000 acres adjacent to the new
town of Boardman on the Columbia
river will be under irrigation by
Spring," said E. P. Dodd, of the
Dodd-Kennedy Company, Hermiston,
who was In Heppner Saturday filing a
plat of the new Morrow county
town with County Clerk Waters.
Boardman is situated 30 miles below
Hermiston on the Columbia river and
consists of 65 acres of the old Board
man homestead.
One of the features of the new
town is the naming of the streets.
The streets have been named after
other Morrow county towns, such as
Heppner street, Hardman street, Lex
ington, lone and Irrigon streets.
Streets Dodd and Kennedy as well as
Boardman street have been so dedi
cated in honor of the men who plat
ted out the new town. The plat filed
by Mr. Dodd was work done by E. I.
Davis, engineer on the West End Ex
tension and the man who built the
Cold Springs Reservoir.
Boardman will be the junction of
THE LATEST FORD STORY
The latest Ford story has come to
light, although unlike most stories
about this far-famed jitney, this one
clings strongly to the paths of truth
and reflects no discredit either upon
the car itself or its owner. The Ford
is i good car.
Last Monday, W. G. Scott came up
from Lexington and was up at the
court house on business. We rec
ognized his car standing In front of
that imposing structure, and as we
had a package to deliver to this gen
tleman, we placed it in the front seat
right under the steering wheel, where
he would be sure to see it and we
went on into the court house. Upon
entering the building we met the man
from Lexington and told him what
we had done, about delivering the
parcel to his car. He thanked us and
then added, "you didn't know there
was 300 in the back teat of that
car under an old newspaper, did
you? Of course we were startled.
The idea: that much money in a
Ford. Our only reply, of course, was
that we had never dreamed of such
a thing. But it only proves that the
great things are found where we
least expect and look for them. A
Ford car is a perfectly safe place to
carry money.
A Feeling Answer.
"What can be more sad than a
man without a country?" feelingly
asked the high school teacher of her
class.
"A country without a man," re
sponded a pretty girl just as feeling

GROWING STRONGER.
A few years ago the Heppner pub
lic school could only give you eleven
years training. There was but little
equipment and a poor building. Then
another grade was added, making a
four year course. From that time
the school has become better and big
ger each year.
The new school house was one of
the biggests boosts we have had. It
gives us the many advantages of the
modern school building.
Year by year the equipment has
been increased, more teachers have
been employed, until now we have a
standard high school.
The addition of the commercial
course gives those who wish it the
advantage of a two year preparatory
course for business life. Every year
the Influence of the school Is being
felt more and more throughout the
surrounding country.
A large number of students come
In from the country each year and
take the commercial and regular high
school courses. This eyar we have
the largest attendance In the history
of the school. The student body Is
made up of students from practically
every part of Morrow county. This
week we welcomed Into our midst
a student from Monument. This is
exactly what is wanted and we hope
that many others will come in from
the surrounding territory and get
their share of the benefits of our ex
cellent school.

(Kansas City Times.)
Although at first thought the state
ment seems incredible, it is perfectly
true that a lump of sugar may be
converted into diamonds.
Not all the substance of the sugar,
of course, will enter into the com
position of the diamond, but only the
carbon that it contains. Sugar con
sists of carbon united with oxygen
and hydrogen. It is an easy matter
to separate out the carbon, and in
certain experiments for the produc
tion of diamonds this sugar carbon
has been employed.
The diamonds so produced were,
of course, very small and destitute
of commercial value, but still they
were real diamonds, and the chem
ical result obtained would be no
greater intrinsically if they were as
big as the Cullinan.
Scientists have often expressed the
hope that an improvement In the
process of manufacturing diamonds
may be effected whereby the neces
sity of dissolving the carbon in mol
ten iron may be dispensed with and
the required combination of great
pressure with great heat may be
brought. about by some such opera
tion as squeezing the carbon between
red hot plates.

John Olden Loses His Rhea Creek
Dwelling With All Its
Contents.
John Olden lost his fine farm res
dence on Rhea creek by fire last
Tuesday evening about 7 o'clock. Ap
parently the fire started in a closet
off of one of the bed rooms, but Its
exact origin is unknown. Tbe blaze
spread so rapidly that it was Im
possible to remove anything from the
house.
On the ranch at the time were Mr.
Olden and his wife and Mrs. Olden's
mother and two hired men. They all
escaped from the burning building
without Injury.
The Olden house was built only a
few years ago, and only recently Mr.
Olden had made further extensive
improvements. It was considered one
of the finest farm dwellings in the
county. Insurance which amounts
to between $2400 and $2700 was
carried on the house, but Mr. Olden
is not sure of the exact amount, since
all of his policies and other papers
were destroyed by the flames. The
house was nicely furnished and was
lighted by a patent system which Mr.
Olden had installed on his farm. H
Olden had Installed on his farm. He
places his loss at about $12,000, af
ter taking into consideration the loss
of valuable papers which went up in
smoke.
The flames fortunately did not
snread to any considerable extent and
the fine big barn was saved. Mr. Ol
den carried no insurance on the barn
and it would have been a total loss
had the fire once reached it.
