COMMUNICATION
Mr. Editor:
Will you kindly publish the follow
ing communication.
Believing that the Home Guard of
Morrow county is an organization in
which every loyal citizen of Morrow
county, has an interest, I take this
opportunity of conveying to the peo
ple of the county information con
cerning this organization.
The Home Guard is organized un
der the Sheriff and Is subject to his
command. The Guard has no author
ity to act, unless ordered to act by
the Sheriff, who is Commander-in-Chief
of the Guard. When a man
joins the Home Guard he takes an
oath similar to that taken by a deputy
sheriff. Each member is supposed to
attend drill twice each week, unless
excused, and any reasonable excuse
will be accepted, as the Guard is made
up of busy men, and their business
sometimes necessitates their absence
from drill.
The object of the Home Guard is
to protect life and property within the
bounds of Morrow county, and to
carry out this object, the members of
the Guard are giving two nights each
week of their time, and in case they
should be called upon for active duty
In guarding warehouses or wheat
fields, their services will be absolute
ly without charge.
The Home Guards of the State of
Oregon have recently been organi
zed and John H. Hibbard of Portland
has been elected Brigadier General,
with headquarters at Portland, Ore
gon. The Home Guard organization
has received the aproval of the Gov
ernor of the State, and Us hoped that
the Home Guard will receive active
support from the state.
In order to become a unit of the
Home Guard under the present or
ganization, it is necessary to have
a company of 65 men who are regular
attendants at drill. We have In the
Home Guard at Heppner, over 70
members, but not more than 50 are
regular attendants at drill. We are
in need of more men in order to be
come a unit of the State organization
and receive support from the state.
There are a great many men in
Heppner who are not members of the
Guard and who ought to be members,
and how to get them to come into the
Guard is the problem which we are
trying to solve. No business man
rim make the excuse that he hasn't
the time, for we are all busy, but we
take time. We make a sacrifice be
cause we believe that the Home
Guard is a good thing for the county
and we are willing to make a sacri
fice to help a good cause. Almost
every other county in the state lias
successful Home Guard organizations,
why not Morrow county, where there
is so much property to protect and
so little protection provided. Let us
all Join the Home Guard and make it
a success.

Adjutant, Morrow County Home
Guard.

he raised to three cents a mile on

is announced today by the United
States railroad administration. It
quickly follows the announcement
boosting railroaders pay, mainly in
accordance with the railroad wage

essary because they must meet high

from $830,000,000 to $860,000,000

The traffic in heavy commodities
which forms a large portion of the

ruling.
