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. Minor of Heppner;
L. W. Charles, lone and W. F. Bar
nett, Lexington.
The Speakers' Committee Is S. E.
Notson, chairman, W. O. Hill, Lex

since last Sunday, according to Arch

Speuks on Internationalism.
At the Christian church on last
Sunday evening E. J. 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. Waters also
announces that he will seek re-election
to the office of county clerk.
Both men are well known In this
county and need no Introduction to
the people. MT. Shutt served the
county as sheriff for four consecu
tive terms and during that time es
tablished a state-wide reputation
an efficient law enforcer. Mr. Waters
seeks the endorsement of his party
on the record he has made in the
past.
N. M. Johnson of Gooseberry was

BOOTLEGGING GASES ATTRACT ATTENTION OF

During the past ten days there has of his. arrest. It was Laine's word

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

A letter received Tuesday ty Mrs.

they sailed. This is the first news
received from him for a month. Thf

After being out all night
the Jury was discharged.
. 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.

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.

TRAP SHOOTERS IN
Wind, intermittent snow fall and
cold weather all combined to make
a severe handicap for members of
the Heppner Gun Club in their shoot
against Kellogg, Washington last
Sunday. The score stood Kellogg
116, Heppner 110.
Another perfect score was regis
tered, when B. R. Patterson broke 25
of the blue rocks Just as fast as his
turn came to shoot. This makes two
perfect scores since the tournament
opened, Ernest Clark getting one a
week ago last Sunday.
. By virtue of last Sunday's results,
Kellogg now stands at the head of
