HIBERNIANS HELD IN STALLATION JAN. 7TH The installation of the officers for 1917 of the Heppner Division A. O. H. was carried out in a very impres sive manner on Sunday, January 7. The officers installed were: John F. Kenny, Pres; Patrick Connell, Vice-Pres.; Rev. P. J. O'Rourke, Rec. and Fin. Sec; Frank Monahan, Treas.; John McDevttt, Serg-at-arms; E. L. Berry. Bro. F. A. McMena min of Portland read the charge to the officers. Immediately after the ceremony, the installation of the officers of the Ladies Auxiliary took place, Rev. P. J. O'Rourke reading the charge. The officers are: Mrs. B. Kenny, Pres.; Miss Sarah Doherty, Vice- Pres.; Miss Peggy O'Rourke, Rec. and Fin. Sec; Mrs. A. McNamee, Treas.; Mrs. K. Buckman, Sentinel, andMlss M Lennon, Mistress-at-arms. When the ceremonies were finish' ed, an announcement was made that refreshments wtuld soon be served. The newly-Installed Vice-Pres. and Serg-at-arms, Messrs. Connell andMc- Devitt, were detailed to do duty in the culinary department. Soon after their leaving the hall, cries for help were heard from the kitchen' and ah investigation being made, it was found that the deputized cooks were afraid of tackling the proposl tion alone, and thus sought aid by means of subterfuge. However, in all justice to the cooks it must be said they proved a great success, and provided an abundant and appetiz ing lunch. After lunch, with the pungent odor of the fragrant weed being ip evidence, all settled down to listen to the speeches usually ex pected from the newly-installed offi cers. All of these gentleman showed great dexterity in making brief talks believing no doubt, that "Brevity is the soul of wit." F. A. McMena min, of Portland being called upon told of how Heppner looked to him, and said that if Heppner continued to wear that roseate hue, he would soon locate in its home-like atmos- phere. Jas. Mollahan gave a fervid talk on Ireland, and was given hear ty applause when he declared that the Tricolor of the Irish Republic would, he hoped, soon float over a cleansed and fumigated Dublin Cas tle. John Kilkenny told some of his early experiences in the days when Irishmen were as scarce in Morrow County as the grace of God in an Orange Lodge. Michael Kenny spoke of still earlier days, and de clared it made his heart full of joy to see the great progress of his fel low-countrymen in Eastern Oregon. E. L. Berry depicted an entertain ment in a country school-house in Indiana. A ripple of laughter went over the hall, when E. L. commenced to sing. Little Patsy Keegan, a tot of one and one-half years, commenced to pound the piano. Recitations were also given by John T. Doherty, Phil Higglns, John Kilkenny, John C. McEntlre, and an orglnal composi tion on the Bazaar of 1916 by the author, Phil MeCabe. Music was next indulged in, and little Molly Sheridan and Molly Kilkenny delight ed all by their efforts to sing Irish songs. Sarah Kilkenny, Cecilia Kenny and Tina Doherty also sang. Miss Peggy O'Rourke drew forth great applause by her rendition of "Almost Home" and "Ireland must be Heaven." Exchange of wit and re partee now held the floor, and many venerable jokes were resuscitated and trotted forth in new guise for the delectation of the audience. After four hours of a most en joyable time, all went their various ways, declaring that the afternoon was the shortest and most entertain ing that they had had in many a day. FARMERS WILL GET Heppner Farmers' Union will give i banquet at the I. O. O. F. Hall laturday night, February 3, the ob ;ct of the meeting beiug to get to--ether all those farmers who are in erested in building an elevator at Ieppner. In fact, anyone In the junty who is interested in the pro osltion of changing the method of handling grain from the expensive ack to that of bulking it in an ele ator, is Invited to come and will be riven a chance to express his views i a manner that will count for some thing. Prof. F. Hyslop and G. Lansing Iurd of the Oregon Agricultural Col .ege will be present and perhaps ther distinguished and able speak ers, who will come prepared to en ighten the farmers along the line of ip-to-date bulking of grain; also on ther matters of interest to the far mer.

Lytle of Salem was called to Cecil the u.-st of the week to inspect a band of 6500 head of sheep on lower Willow creek. These sheep are said to have the scab; and it is the owner's intention to: make immedate preparations for dip- ping them. j Morrow county sheep have been free from scab for the past several years, but it is believed that this hand became infected through being shipped in a car that carried the germs. A short time ago a band of bucks was brought to Heppner from the Willamette Valley, according to J. O. Hager, secretary of the Oregon Woolgrowers' Association, and they were affected with the scab. Later these sheep were shipped from Hepp ner to Cecil in the same car that the bucks were brought in and in this manner became infected. Every pre caution is being taken to prevent the spreading ot the disease. High School Literary Program For Friday Afternoon.

TONJP EVEN - The basket ball teams of the Lex ington and Heppner high schools broke even in the two games in this city last Friday evening, the Lex ington girls winning by a score of 8 to 2 and the Heppner boys trampl ing over their opponents 47 to 16. As usual,' the girls failed to put up anything like a thrilling exhibi tion, but when the boys came onto the floor, the contest was fast and twrious. Nickelson, . Crawford - and Hughes for the locals did the best work, while Johnson and Campbell of Lexington stood out pre-eminently for their team. Johnson is a fast man and his goal throwing was a fea ture of the game. Karl Beach and "Red" O'Rourke were the officials. At the conclusion of the basket ball games, the players from both teams were banqueted by W. O. Scott of Lexington. This last game was to have been played in Lexing ton, but tor the reason that that town has no basket ball hall, it was necessary to play the game in Hepp ner. So Lexington just brought up their hospitality with them and treated Hepriner as though our own folks were in Lexington. The ban quet was greatly enjoyed by all those who were fortunate enough to be present, and Mr. Scott received the thanks of the local high school stu dents. Miss Amelia Steeves was in the city last week organizing classes In dancing. She was accompanied by her mother, Mrs. Victor Marden. They returned to their home in The Dalles Saturday, but Miss Steves will return to this city at a later date. A large number have signed up for the dancing course. The Federated Church.

Boardman, it being her birth day. Everyone carried their lunch and a very pleasant evening was spent. Alton Klitz, Bon of F. F. litz, is confined to his bed with symptoms of measles. Dave and John Beavert ot Stan field were looking over the project Tuesday. L A The Smokeless Smoker given by the members of the Heppner High School at the Fair pavilion Tuesday night was a huge success, both from the standpoint of interest shoUvn and from the financial side as well. The smoker was worked up through the efforts of Prof. Atkinson and tor the purpose of defraying expenses incur red In the various lines of athletic activity. The boys realized over forty dollars by their efforts. An admission charge of twenty and fifty cents was made and a fairly large crowd attended. The feature of the evening's enter tainment was the handicap wrestling match between Bauman of Lexington and Harry GroBhen, a local high school student. Bauman, who is a. wrestler of considerable exeprlence, having done fast work for the Spo kane Athletic Club, agreed to throw Groshen three times in an hour. Two falls were the best he could get and it took hard work to get them. Groshen showed by his work-out with B&utnan that he hap improved fully 75 per cent over what he was when he wrestled Hadley of Hardman dur ing the county fair in this city last fall. It is the opinion of many of the fans that Groshen would give Hadley the match of his life at this time. Jim Cossman of lone officiated as referee in the wrestling matches. In the burlesque line of high div ing and fancy boxing "Bingo" Binns and "Llghning Spec" Aiken appeared as the headliners. Each of them us ed a system entirely unique as well as original and by their methods, managed to find each other for a healthy swat once in a while. They boxed three fast rounds and the con test was just reaching the exciting stage for the sepctators when the fin al gong rang. No decision was given. Copenhaven and Brown got a fall apiece in thirty minutes of wrestling. Copenhaver is 15 pounds heavier than Brown. They were followed by "Black Diamond" Wlnnard and "Snowball" Hynd in a boxing stunt. The gloves were covered with shoe blacking and the decision was given to the one putting the most blacking on his opponents face. Hynd was given the decision. The most evenly contested match of the evening was that between Nor ton Wlnnard and Cecil Lieuallen. both husky lads, the former weighing 159 pounds and the latter being a trifle heavier, weighing in at 164. Lieuallen was given two falls in 30 minutes of wrestling, but he was forced the limit to get them. His few pounds of additional weight had their advantage over his opponent, otherwise they are very evenly match ed. The sparring match between Mick ey Hughes and "Dutch" Hayes was filled with Interest and both showed themselves to be clever with the gloves. By the way of diversion the club swinging exhibition by Jasper Craw ford was pleasing, the lights being turned out and torches lighted on the end of the clubs. Music by the quartett, Chas. Bar low, Prof. Atkinson, Euimett Hughes, and Clarence Scrivner, followed by the barrel boxing stunt conculed the program. In the last event, Troy Me Craw proved himself victor over his two opponents, Garnet Barratt and Herb Hynd.
