h. J. Simpson and E. J. Adams Ad
dress Fair Sized Audience.
. The citizenship of Heppner was ad
dressed at the Opera House on last
evening by Messrs. L..J. Simpson ot
North Bend and E. J. Adams of Eu
gene In a rousing patriotic meeting.
t A chorus of singers, led by Mrs.
Noyes; furnished several patriotic
songs and Mrs. R. J. Vaughan sang
"America Is Calling You" to the de
lichtotall.
Mr. Simpson delivered a very stir
ring oration, largely reviewing the
events leading up to a declaration of
war by this country against Germany,
and he was listened to with close at
tention. The climax ot his address
was the appeal to the patriotism of
the people at home who must stand
behind the boys that are goong to the
front to do the fighting in the trench
es, and we must see that they lack
nothing that will help them to be bet
ter soldiers. Food, clothing, the best
gunsand ammunition must be placed
In their hands,-nd all this requires
money, therefore it is up to us at
home to see that they have it, and
this is to be supplied to the govern
ment by the people loaning Uncle
Sam the necessary money.
Mr. Adams made a srong and di
rect appeal to the people, backing up
all that had been said by Mr. Simp
son and further impressing the great
duty and responsibility upon us ot
doing our bit in this great drive that
is on to float the second Liberty Loan.
Mr. Adams Is a very pleasing speaker
and his every word does not fall to
leave its impression.
C. E. Woodson presided in an effi
cient manner.
Mr. Simpson also addressed the
students ot the High School this fore
noon upon food "Conservation and the
Liberty Loan.
In this connection we give the fol
lowing list of patriotic citizens who
have so far subscribed to the new

ardson, W. E. Severance, Martina H.
Thlele and R. J. Vaughan, $100 each.
Visit Klickitat County
Oscar and Claude Kelthley of
Eight Mile made a visit to Kllckatat
county, Washington, last week, going
over and back in the Kelthley car.
Crop conditions- were fairly good
around Goldendale and Centerville
but the Kelthley boys are convinced
that lands over that way do not pay
any better returns than the average
farmer is getting In Morrow county
and they are being held much higher
In price. Oscar says he is well satis
fied to remain here and continue to
help In putting Morrow county on the
map. They had a pleasant visit with
Fred Esteb and his family who now
reside at Centerville.
Coining to Front as Shipping Point.
Hermlston is fast making a name
for herself along the line of exporting
commodities to various markets. It is
surprising what this valley produces
when it is taken Into consideration
that less than a third of the land
within Its confines Is In cultivation.
Nevertheless the soli is here, and
the climate and water also, and there
tore It is not to be wondred at that
tilnce the first ot last June 250 car
loads of hay, peaches, melons, sheep,
hogs, etc., were shipped out of this
city over the O-W. R. & N. Hermls
ton Herald.

Will Give Farewell Reception.
Arrangements have been completed
for the running of a special train
from Heppner to Cecil on tomorrow
evening. The occasion Is a farewell
reception to iur. T. H. Lowe of that
place. Mr. Lowe is a member ot the
English army reserves and has been
called to duty. He will have to leave
Immediately to "serve his country and

ed for him by his neighbors. Ther.
will be a dance with Parson's arches
tra in charge ot the music, and sev'

understand that the family of Mr,
Lowe will remain at Cecil.
The first number ot the Midland
Lyceum Course was delivered in
Heppner on Monday evening at the
High school auditorium, when the
Theresa Sheehan Concert Company
appeared before a good audience and
rendered one of the very best pro
grams ever given in the city. If each
number in the series Is to be any
where as good as this first one, fu
ture audiences should be double the
one Monday night. The next number
of the series will be on the evening
of December 28th.
Cute Arm on Wood Saw.
Tom Drlskell, who recently took
over the wood saw from Jake Wat
tenberger, met with a slight accident
on Friday evening that might have
cost him an arm. He was working
a little late and could not see very
well and in drawing a heavy piece of
wood back he shoved his arm into the
saw, receiving a flesh wound that
called for several stitches by the sur
geon to be closed up. Mr. Drlskell
thinks that had he been pushing the
stick toward the saw instead of draw
ing it back at the time, he would
have had his arm entirely severed
Just in front of the elbow. The saw
scraped the bone through the fleshy
part ot the arm and made a nasty
though not very Berlous wound.
i
TO
On Thursday evening, Oct. 25th at
7:30 the curtain rises at the school
auditorium In Lexington for a dram
atic recital, given by Rev. Frank Ma
ples ot The Dalles, under the aus
pices of the student body of the Lex
ington schools. Mr. Maples will be
remembered as speaker at the Lex
ington commencement exercises at
the close of last school year.
Probably few in the audience at
that time knew that Mr. Manles'
training and experience In appearing
before the public had been gained
very largely In ten years on the
stage. Such is a fact. Besides ap
pearing for two seasons at the fa
mous Drury Lane Theatre, Mr. Ma
ples also appeared at the Pavilion
and Garrick Theatres in London and
with Sir Herbert Fr.ee's Company.
During his last two years upon tie
stage he traveled this country with
the famous Richard Mansfield.
In his recital on Thursday, the
26th, at Lexington, Mr. Maples will
demonstrate what these years of
practical experience mean, in giving
ability to make the great master
pieces entertaining and enjoyable for
those who have not made a special
study ot them.
The story of "The Thirty Pieces of
Silver" will be a new revelation to
the Lexington audience.
In the recital from "Julius Caesar"
In addition to giving the complete
story of the play, Mr. Maples will re
cite the great scenes in which the
character of Mark Anthony appears.
In addition to the above, the stu
dent body and orchestra will render
musical numbers. , Tickets can be
secured from students of the schools,
under whose auspices the entertain
ment is being given.

Ships Goats to Kansas City.
J. O. Allstott shiDned two double
deck cars of goats to Kansas City
from the local stock yards Tuesday.
He has been running this bunch of
goats in Morrow county during the
past summer and got the stock In
good shape tor the market. This was
a new venture for Mr. Allstott and he
did not state to us Just what he
thought of the proposition. This may
come to his mind after he has dis
posed of the goats in the Kansas City
stock market.
ARE "BUN SPORTS"
Report comes to this paper that a
bunch of "near sports" stopped along
the road Just above the Neville place
and killed a bunch of Chinese pheas
ants. It would appear that the party
which numbered four or five persons,
were traveling toward the mountains
In a Ford, and they did the shooting
from the road. There is no open sea
ion on pheasants in this county and
these parties deliberately violated
the game laws in this act. Just how
many birds were killed has not been
learned by our Informant, but in
their hurry to get away from another
car that was coming from behind,
they failed to pick up one rooster
that was about shot to pieces, though
not yet dead when discovered a few
tninutes after the shooting occurred.
There is one man along up that way
Who has all kinds of warning sienn un
on his premises, that freely expresses
the opinion that if he catches any of
these "near sports" killing birds on
his domain there will be something
doing risht auick. as h will nnt watt
to call the law to his assistance.
There are but few of these birds and
$ is a pity that they cannot be left
alone so that they may oronaeate and
become plentiful.
t We were unable to sret a full r-
pprt of the teachers' institute for this
issue dui are promised one lor next
Week.': The institute was nronounced
a splendid success, and there was an
attendance of the teachers ot the
county to the number of 69.
CQUBLE RUNAWAY FRI-
1
i
'he tour horse team of Chas. B.
attached to a wheat wagon, be
etle frightened at the warehouse
nfcr the depot on Friday morning
aan made a llvelv runaway, heading
I "
uf the street toward town. Just af-
tat crossing the bridge over Hlntnn
crekjhe team, met up with Luther
Huston who was exercising his Per-
caeron stallion. This animal became
at once enthused with the excite
ment, whirled about and joined in
the race. Mr. Huston had the animai
hitched to a light sulky, and exercised
all the strength he could muster to
hold him in, but to no avail, and it
kept him mighty busy dodging the
other rig, telephone and electric light
poles and holding on the the seat. Mr.
Huston fared well until he had passed
the Willow creek bridge a short dis
tance, when he was unseated by
some obstruction In the road. He
landed on his head and received a
very painful, though not serious
bump. The horse proceeded on his
way and ran into the awning in front
of the postofnee, dislocating a post
or two, and finally piled up on the
walk in front of the Farmers &
Stockgrowers Bank. The animal
seemed to be determined to get back
to his quarters at the barn just a
to 'his quarters at the barn just as
rapidly as possible. The Cox team
piled up near the Fair Grounds and
came out of the fray none the worse
for wear. Mr. Huston's injuries were
really slight: pulling on the lines
blistered his hands some, and he got
various bruises, from all of which he
Is now well recovered. Mr. Cox es
caped uninjured, with the exception
of a pretty badly sprained back.

, Of Accident.
Richard Hogeland, of Parkers Mill,
died at the hospital in Heppner aB the
result of an accident which happened
to him at 9:30 Saturday morning. At
that time, with his son, R. C. Hoge
land, he was at work In the timber
on his place cutting down a large tree
to be worked up into cordwood. They
were using a saw, and when about
two-thirds of the way through the
tree it began to split and lean in the
opposite direction from which they
expected It to fall. The son gavo the
warning and rushed out of danger
down the hill while Mr. Hogeland
started to get out of the way by mov
ing up the hill. He was not soon
enough, however, and was caught as
the tree came down, being wedged
between the butt ot the falling tree
and another log where he was com
pelled to remain until assistance
could be summoned from a distance
of about three-quarters of a mile.
Parties at work with a jack rushed to
Mr. Hogeland's assistance and helped
to remove the tree, when It was found
that he had a badly crushed foot and
one arm broken In three different
places, besides internal injuries. He
was rushed to the hospital in Heppner
where he received surgical aid but
his injuries were of such a nature
that there was no possibility of sav
ing his life and he died about 6:30
Saturday evening.
Mrs. Hogeland, the son and his
wife were witnesses to the accident,
the women being near at hand when
the tree fell. Mr. Hogeland was en
tirely conscious during all the time
until taking the anesthetic at the hos
pital, and he directed the workers in
getting the log off his body.
