Heppner, Oregon
March 21, 1917
Dear Friend:
Because of the National Educa
tional Association meeting In Port
land July 7 to 14, an excuse for this
letter is afforded.
I extend to you a cordial invita
tion to be present. When the con
vention is over we would like to have
yon spend the remainder of the Sum
mer in our big playground, the Paci
fic Northwest. The' climate is per
fect, our scenic attractions are not
only beautiful but unusual as com
pared with other sections of the
United States, and our historic places
will be found to have much' interest
for those visitors who want to know
how the civilization of the great West
is being constructed.
, Portland is making extensive pre
parations to entertain you. After
ward you can play on the seashore,
on the glaciers of our snow capped
mountains, or our inland lakes or
drive over the magnificent scenio
highways.
We want you ot come. Rooms
may be secured by dropping a letter
to the Secretary of the N. E. A.
Committee at Portland, Mr. Mark
Woodruff. You can do your normal
work at any one of 12 fine schools.
Sincerely yours.
Most of the teachers of the local
school are planning to attend the
Association and if all parts of the
state will do as much as Heppner,
the success of this meeting will bo
assured.

Gets Top Prices For Cattle.
C. A. Minor shipped a car of prime
beef cattle from Cecil the past week
to the Portland' market getting $9.70
straight for them. This was the top
price, the nearest to it being $9.60.
Mr. Minor has had a very successful
season in the Cecil section, his cat
tle and sheep coming through the
winter in fine shape. At the pre
sent time he is in the midst of lamb
ing and is getting a large per cen
tage. His neighbor, Jack Hynd, is
also meeting with great success and
reaping a large per centage of lambs.
The weather down Cecil way if warm
and pleasant and grass is coming fine
on the hills. Mr. Minor will begin
lambing this coming week on his up
per ranches and Is somewhat dubious
as to the results, owing to the pre
sent weather conditions. The foot
hills are still covered with snow and
the prospects for the flockmasters
up this way are not very flattering.

H. R. Smith and H. V. Sraouse
were over from the Jordan Butte
country Saturday. Mr. Smouse was
closing up a deal for the Milt Down
ing half section of land purchased re
cently, and he will now become more
extensively engaged, in wheat raising
than ever. Messrs. Smith and
Smouse are now operating their
Caterpillar engine, running the ma
chine just as long each day as the
weather will permit. It has been
freezing some during the night out
that way and turning too cold by 10
o'clock at night, compelling them to
stop operations at that time. The
machine Is doing fine work and two
shifts will be put on, working day
and night Just as soon as the freezing
stops.

A Demand For Hay.
There is a strong demand for hay
for many outside points, the pro
tracted winter having exhausted
the supply in many of the outside
counties. Hay raisers on lower Wil
low creek are being called upon and
some alfalfa has been shipped out of
Cecil and other points in that vicinity
so we are informed; the hay going to
the Portland market. The demand
has stimulated the price to an appre
ciable extent. Baker and Grant
county stockmen were reported in
our last issue to be suffering severe
losses on account of hay shortage,
and to date the situation has now
been relieved. Reports of severe
losses come from Klamath county,
also, and there seems to be no way
of relieve! ng the situation so long
as the present unfavorable weather
conditions prevail.
Ie Severely Cut.
Robert Worden, a young man in
the employ of N. F. Lawson, was
brought down to town by Mr. Law
son on Monday forenoon, suffering
severe injury to his left leg. Worden
was busy doing some slashing on the
Lawson (arm when his axe was de
flected by coming in contact with a
limb above his head, and the force
of the stroke was landed on his left
leg just above the ankle. The cut
was a bad one and required the at-
tenlon of a physician who took seve
ral stitches to bring the wound to
gether. Mr. Worden's home Is In
Bellingham, Wash., and he has been
at work for Mr. Lawson for some
time.
The Federated Church.
The topic for the morning sermon
will be, "The Second Command
ment." Evening: "God's Use of ;
the Commonplace." I
If you want churches in the com
munity do your part to make them
successful by making it a practice
to attend their services. You are
most cordially invited to attend.

An Unshackled Senate.
By adopting the cloture rule the
United States senate has at last freed
Itself from the shackles that bound
It hand and foot. It is now a repre
sentative body with power to act, and
vote as it may decide for itself,
no longer subject to the tyranny
which it permitted a handful of ob
structionists to exercise.
: Three senators voted against the
cloture rule-La Follette, Gronna and
Sherman all pro-Americans. On
the final issue they stood alone in the
entire senate. By their un-Ameri-canism,
by their disloyalty to the
government to which as citizens and
senators they owe allegiance, they
have won a secure place in the mem
ory of the American people. They
have proved untrustworthy in time
of national emergency and the brand
of disgrace is indelible. New York

Sixteen Million Movie Fans.
It is estimated that where two
years ago 10,000,000 persons viewed
the films each day now there are 16,
000,000, of whom one-fifth are child
ren under sixteen. This makes an
annual gross receipt by the exhibitors
throughout the United States of
about $584,000,000.-Woman's Home
Companion.
Owing to the worst car shortage
of the season the Heppner Wood Yard
has been unable to get lump coal.
There has not been a car west from
Rock Springs in two weeks and the
situation has become acute. We are
still making every effort to get lump
coal, although at the present time we
have on hand a good supply of nut
coal. ,
