'; Fred Elder received the sad In dulgence last week of the death of ''is father, Chas. Elder, who passed way in a hospital at Baker after an illness of several weeks. Fred had nly recently returned from that city, vhere he was called shortly after his 'ather had been stricken. Chas. El 'er was the son of Mr. an dMrs. John -Ider, pioneer citizens of Morrow unty who have gone to their re gard. He is survived by a sister, '8. Belle Buck man of Baker and vo brothers, Frank and James El 'er of Grant County. Besides his 'on fn this city, he leaves a wife and wo children In Wyoming. Owing to the car shortage, many of the smaller towns in the Northwest are facing a coal famine which may assume serious proportions before the winter is over, unless something is done that will relieve the situation. Condon and lone are two towns near at hand that have already begun to feel a depressed effect from this source. Ed Buckman returned this week from Lexington where he recently completed the plaster work on the in terior of the new W. F. Barnett & Co. store building. He will go out this week to the A. W. Dykstra farm where he will put the finishing touches to the interior of Mr. Dyks tra's new house. Walter Becket was in the city from Eight Mile Tuesday. Like the ma jority of the farmers of that section he has been unable 10 sow any grain this fall, owing to the lateness of the season and unfavorable weather con ditions. Mr. Becket is of the opinion that we will have another good year for Spring grain. Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Tucker of Black Horse were Heppner visitors 'his week. Mr. Tucker raised a 'lumper crop this year, his wheat nakhig an average yield of thirty usheis. He predicts another big rop for 1917, as he says general cbn litions were never more favorable. I have a piano that actually cost about J400.00 at wholesale. It is in good condition, not marred and Inside O. K. It is four inches deeper than the regular size.jjiaking it hard to get through the average door Its a fine piano except its size. If your door is wide you can get a bargain as I will take $150.00 for it. C. GUY WAKFIELD Heppner, Ore. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Turner were Heppner visitors from Sand Hollow the last of the week.
