BUICK DESIGN
BUICK VALVE-IN-HEAD POWER '
The Tightness of the Buick Valve-in-Head motor and
not the enthusiasm of its salesmen has made the Buick
conspicuous for leadership.
This new four has a Buick Valve-in Head motor (with
electric starter) which develops thirty-five horse power
on brake test and is so reliable for rugged service that no
eulogy is necessary among "men who know Buick."
Its lines are beautiful. Finish and color are exception
al. Deep, tufted black genuine laather upholstery. Cov
ered floor and running board, with aluminum bindings,
give a trimness of appearance that is peculiarly Buick.
Body, bood, fenders and running gear are painted a
glossy, long-wearing black; wheels are black with white
stripes. Times 31x4 inches.

Safety Firrt For Investor.
A conservative policy would prompt
all buyers of securities to Invest at
least a partion of tbelr capital in sound
bomls. Many Investors bave a prefer
ence exclusively for Stocks bevuuse tbe
latter niay render a higher yield or
may fluctuate more widely, thus offer
ing larger chances for speculative
protlt. Diviilend paying sluuva if tbe
seasoned soyt are not to be belittled,
and th y will tcrhs always form tbe
major portion of tbe average inves
tor's pim-hases. There is reasonable
safety hi them. Hut tinner 'Vorner
stones of fortune" are found in the
better class bonds. These are not neces
sarily gilt edseil. but they are well se
cured. In times of prosperity tbe issu
ing corporations have no difficulty iu
meeting Interest charges. Iu times of
depression dividends on stocks may be
suspended, but the enterprise must
pay interest on its bonds or submit to
fowli'sure. And In such event the
bondholder rarely suffers loss. Their
high degree of stability and ' safety
commends good bonds as an indispen
sable part of any well established es

Save Your Eyesight.
"A great many men who are well
enough informed ou other topics do
uot kuow the first principles of how to
conserve their eyesight," Dr. Eugene
L. Fisk is quoted iu World's Work.
"They may be conscious of eye strain
and yet unconsciously go right on do
In; many things to increase thut strain,
things such as these reading a news
paper on a Jiggly street car, working
with a light directly behind them or
directly in their faces, reading or work
ing In too bright u glare or in a dim or
flickering illumination. They do not
realiza that they might well limit their
allowauce of moving pictures. They
dj not know the harm In too brilliant
a desk light. They buy worthless put
cut uostrums for the eye and have a
positive Ureal .about udopting glasses.
The price they pay for nil this is often
extremely dear. It ranges from con
stant physical discomfort to loss of

Lungs of the Whale.
Concerning the breathing apparatus
of tbo whale an eminent naturalist
says: "Tha windpipe does not com
mtuikate with tbe mouth. A hole is.
as it were, bored right through the
bark of the head. Engines s would
do well to copy the action of the valve
of (In whale's blow hole. A mure per
feit piece of strut lure it is Impossible
to imagine. Day and night, asleep or
iuval:i the whale works his breathing
apl.arutus in such a manner that nol
a d:np o'.' water ever gets down into
the lungs. Again, the whale must of
necessity stay u much longer period
under vviit.r than seals. This alow
;ir!;;hi possibly drown him, inasmuch
as tlie luin;s cannot have access to
fresh air. Wu find that this difficulty
has bcjen anticipated and obviated by
a peculiar reservoir In the venous sys
tem, which nscrvoir is situated at the
back of the lungs."
Marked the Snakes.
A member of the house of represent
atives last season had a habit of
marking certain bills on his bill file
with a blue pencil, making curious
spiral, wriggly lines all over the face
of each bill be marked.
"Why do you mark your bill tile In
that manner?" one day usked the legls
Inter who sat next to him.
"I do that," be answered, "because
them bills has a snake iu them, and
they ain't goin' to wriggle through
without my votin' agin them. 1 know
them when 1 get them by the blue
snake marks." Ilarrisburg Star-lndo

Get Water From Ditch Creek.
Oscar Minor was up to the head
waters of Ditch creek the first of the
week to look up the proposition of
turnjng a part of the water of that
creek into Willow creek. For this
purpose a ditch had been construct
ed across Ditch creek prairie last sea
son and a dam put in to divert the
water. Mr. Minor found the ditch in
excellent condition aud it required
but fifteen minutes work to mend
the dam and now the water is com
ing down Willow creek. While it is
not a very large stream, it helps in
keeping up the supply of water in
Willow creek. Willow creek has been
running pretty low at Heppner the
past week, owing to the fact that the
people above town bave been using
the waters at a lively rate. As a cou
sequence there has not been sufficient
water to supply the street sorlnkler
and the people of Heppner have been
eating dirt at a good rate, and it has
gone down well with the excessive
heat.
Fire Started By Hot Sun.
Alex Green reports that a first
class fire was started at his home on
the north side of Alkali street last
Saturday afternoon, by the concen
tration of the rays of the hot sun
through a front window. The cur
tains were entirely burned and the
room under fair way to be badly
scorched .when the fire was dfscovr
ered. Mr. Green can acount for the
fire in no other way than that the
sun's rays were so reflected and con
centrated on the curtains sufficient to
fire them.
Off For Extensive Eastern Trip.
Mr. and Mrs. Sam Hughes depart
ed Saturday for an extended trip
throughout the South and East. They

to Temple, Texas, where Mr. Hughes
has a brother living and they expect
to visit other points in that state also.
Before returning home they will visit
relatives in Missouri, Kansas and Ne
braska. Mr. and Mrs. Hughes expect
to be gone for at least two months.
If.
Mill Company Has New Manager.
At the meeting of the stockholders
of the Heppner Milling Company held

self were yesterday.
Cattle Shipped From Heppner.
Eight cars of prime beef cattle
were shipped from the yards on Sun
day, destined for Portland markets.
Of these, W. B. Ewing had four cars,
Thompson and Gentry, one, Bob Car
sner one and Damms Bros., of John
Day, two. The Ewing cattle had been
fattened at the mountain ranch on
Caplinger, and this cleans up what
stock he had left in Morrow county.
Off For Lehman Springs.
Peter Linn, of lone, passed through
Heppner on Monday on his way to
Lehman Springs to remain for a short
time. He has been suffering quite
a lot of late with what seems to be
rheumatism and hopes to be relieved
by bathing in the healing waters at
Lehman for a few weeks. He was
traveling with Wayne Sperry and
George Cochran who will see that
Mr. Linn is properly looked after.

of lone, was doing business in Hepp
ner on Saturday. Mr. and Mrs.
