SUBSCRIPTION', 1.50 PER YEAR Gazette II H Ik I I READY FOR LOAN Thorough Committee Organization VU1 Help ThiH County Raise - Its Quota In Drive Which Starts Next Mouth. . Business men from lone, Lexington :and Heppner gathered in this city Sunday afternoon and discussed ways and means for proceeding with' the (big-Liberty Loan ' Drive which'wlll start on April 6. Although it has not been definitely renounced by the treasury depart' ; ment what the exact amount of tke loan will be, It has been variously ' estimated from four to eight billion dollars. Putting the amount at six billions means that work of a. col lossal nature is about to be under' taken and that the bonds must be ttold to a greater number of people ' than before and the average amount ' of bonds to each sale must be consid erably higher than in either of the , two previous drives. The meeting on Sunday was pre sided over by county chairman B. M. Shutt. Owing to press of other mat ters and to the further fact that Mr. Shutt may be called out of the coun ty from time to time on account of illness in his family, he recommen ded that someone else take over the chairmanship and he suggested J. A. Waters. Mr. Waters was appointed and has now taken charge of the work. Several committees have been na med. On the publicity committee are Vawter Crawford, chairman, S. A. Pattlson and C. A.

Gilstrap, secre tary of International Christian Mis sionary Association of Minneapolis, gave an interesting and entertaining discourse on "Internationalism" and also spoke briefly in behalf of the work being .done by the . Christian church in the educational line. The association which he represents Is now carrying on the wdrk of a large school having as its purpose the pro per religious and secular education of the foreigners coming to our shor es. Mr. Gilstrap's address Vas very largely of a patriotic nature but be did not fail to Impress the lesson . of properly fducatlng the peoples of the various nationalities that have come to America's shores. The work he represents was originally begun in Minneapolis In the Interests of the Scandinavian population but is now broadened out to' take in all nation alitles of people coming to America, and while looking after their relig lous needs, the association also looks after their proper education along other lines and sees to it that these people are made to absorb the great American idea of democracy which gets them away from the narrowness of the surroundings that racial clan nish ness has encompassed them. Mr. Gilstrap has been spending the week in and about Heppner in the Interest of his work and he will speak at Lexington on Saturday and at lone on Sunday, occupying the pulpit of the Christian church . Mr. Gilstrap is a former. Morrow county boy, having lived In the Eight Mile section when he was a smalljad. A number of prominent lone men were in the city Tuesday. Among them were C. R. Johnson, H. G. Shu man, Peter Linn, Mr. O'Connell, Emit Lundell, C. W. McNamer and E. J. Bristow. MORE MEN ARE OUT FOR OFFICE The political situation in Morrow county takes on new form this week with the definite announcement of E. M. Shutt that he will be a candi date for sheriff. J. A.

FEPElAflElD) BOOTLEGGING GASES ATTRACT ATTENTION OF THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY - FINES ARE IMPOSED During the past ten days there has of his. arrest. It was Laine's word been some excitement in Heppner and'agalnst Hamilton's and the Jury was Justice of the Peace Cornett has been' , JlliMJ , ti. holdine almost a continuous Hntwlnn at the court house, where several bootlegging cases have been disposed of. The first case engaging the atten tion of District Attorney S. E. Notson was that of Frank Laine, who was apprehended by W. F. Rogers, spe cial agent acting for the state. Laine was arrested on two charges, one of having liquor in his possession amf the other of giving liquor to min ors. ' '. From the testimony in the case, it appears ' that Laine had obtained three quarts of "liquor" tor which he paid the price of $15 per quart. He evidently had more than he could consume, so he invited gome young boys to help him drink it. When ta ken in custody by the sheriff he still had a quart bottle which was nearly full. This was used by the state in a later case. Laine was fined a total sum of $250 and when asked where he got the booze, he accused George Ham ilton. Hamilton was arrested, fur nished bond and his trial was held on Monday. Sam E. Van Vactor appear ed for bis defense and a jury of six men was chosen. There was very little evidence in the case, about two drinks having been taken from the quart which the state offered as the bottle taken from Laine at the time ELWYN SHIPLEY WRITES FROM "OYER THERE" (Parma Review.) A letter received Tuesday ty Mrs. 0. G. Boyd from her son, KIwyn Shipley, tells of his safe arrival' In France. He was unable to go with the other former members of the 2nd Idaho, as he was sick at the time they sailed. This is the first news received from him for a month. Thf letter is written on British Y.

The English soldiers that I have been talking to are all of the opinion that the war will be over this year. Most of them seem to think that it will be over early this summer but some of them, a very few, see no end to the struggle yet. But from what I have seen the Germans must be nearly starved out and I believe the war will soon be over. I haven't gotten to my company yet. I don't know when I will, but I hope it will be soon because I am getting tired of knocking around ev ery place and seeming to get nowhere- I would like to tell you more about the trip across but I can't tell much, only that it is one of the largest ships afloat and carried about troops and made (large portion of letter cut I out).

The next case occupying the atten tion for the state was that of George Swaggart, who was brought into the court on the charge of having intox icating liquor in his possession last September. The arrest was the out growth of charges made by Mr. and Mrs. John Vink, who lived for a time In the Swaggart residence on Court street. The Vinks swore on the witness stand that they were given whiskey to drink, about a teaspoonful, by Mr. Swaggart. The state set forth the assertion that it was booze which eame into Mr. Swaggart's possession after the saloons had gone out of bus iness and S. E. Van Vactor for the defendant attempted to prove that the booze was taken from stock ob tained from the saloon of McAtee & Aiken just before the state went dry. On top of this, for a year, Mr. Swag gart said he had got his shipment regular to protect his old stock.- He acknowledged giving the whiskey to the Vinks but stoutly denied having come into possession of the liquor af ter the state went dry. The Jury was out but a short time and returned with a verdict of guilty. Mr. Swag gart has filed motion for appeal. The fine Imposed was for $250. IONE ELKS WILL HOLD BENEFIT FOR RED CROSS !

Mr. Minor Is grad ually closing out his fine herd. He is the pioneer shorthorn breeder of this section and is accredited with having done more to foster and build up the Industry than any other man.

MAN IS HELD AS SLACKER George Carter, who was registered for the selective service at The Dalles, has been taken in charge by Sheriff McDuffee and is now held in the county Jail for having failed to re turn his questionnaire. Carter will be taken in charge by federal officials. . The man gives as his excuse for falling to return his questionnaire that he lost his draft registration card and that his friends advised him not to mention it. - j When being questioned by Sheriff McDuffee and asked If he was ready to go to France, the young man re plied that he didn't know whether he was or not. About that time W. Rogers stepped Into the Jail and asked Carter if he knew the manual of arms. Carter scratched his head aad replied, "I don't know, where does he live?" From all appearances Carter ap pears to be a' man with but little ed ucation and his actions in connection with the draft bears this out. C. A. Johnson, Lexington ware- houseman, Bpent Wednesday in Hepp- ner on business.
