RECEPTION GIVEN
DEPARTING BOYS
Thirteen Young Men Go To Training
Caiup Tuesday An Entliu
shuttle Bunch,
It was an enthusiastic bunch of
young men who left Heppner Tues
day morning for the training camp
at American Lake, WaBh. and they
pulled out of the depot amid cheers,
tears and good wishes of a large com
pany of people.
At the Palace Hotel on Monday ev
ening a reception waB tendered these
young men. The program was of an
impromtu nature and the meeting
- was presided over by Mayor Smead,
who In his Introductory remarks paid
a fine tribute to this fine body of
young men who were going Into
training now and later, Into the
trenches at the front "over there" if
necessary, to fight in the great battle
for the rights of humanity. The
Mayor's only advice to the boys was
that they never consent to a peace
that was not signed on the ruins of
Berlin.
Other speakers were Editor Sam
Pattlson of the Heppner Herald and
Attorney F. A. McMenamin. Mr.
Pattlson, in his short address, set
forth some ef the causes leading to
the present war and dwelt largely up
on the thought that it was the out
growth of a wrong system of think
ing; setting forth the fact that for
many generations the German people
had been following a line of think
ing that led them into error; they
i thought of war and world domina
tion and this terrible crime is the re
sult. Mr. Pattlson paid a fine tribute
to the young men of the draft who are
gladly going forth in defense of the
principles of right and justice.
Mr. McMenamin made no attempt
at oratory but gave a short talk that
was much appreciated, showing that
while in the course ot human his
tory for several centuries past, there
had been great battles fought, great
victories won and mighty principles
maintained yet these boys were now
privlledged to take part in the most
stupendous Job ever undertaken in
the world. His address was full of
good cheer for the boys and contain
ed no little spice for those who re
main at home.
Music numbers interspersed the
program, and these were rendered by
the MIsseB Blanche Minor, Margaret
O'Rourke, and Edith Tfiorley, who
each rendered popular war songs in
a pleasing manner and received
hearty applause. The remainder of
the evening was spent In dancing and
a general good social time by the

MRS. A. L. CORNETT WAS
EARLY SETTLER HERE
A Pioneer Woman Beloved By A Very
Large Circle of Friends.
Mrs. Alex Cornett passed away at
her home In this city at about twen
ty minutes to eight on Tuesday ev
ening, June 20, having been quite ill
for a number of days and suffering
from a stroke of paralysis. In Octo
ber, 1913, Mrs. Cornett suffered her
first stroke of paralysis, and the last
was the fourth with which she had
been afflicted during the five years.
Her affliction had rendered her help
less much of the time and she was
the constant care of her devoted hus
band. Mrs. Cornett had been a resident ot
what is Morrow county since about
the year 1874, having settled with her
former husband, Felix Johnson,, on a
homestead on Little Butter creek in
Umallla county, and their eldest son,
James T. Johnson, was born there.
For the many years that Mrs. Cornett
resided on the Butter creek farm she
was known far and wide as a, kind,
hospitable and generous neighbor
who numbered among her friends the
residents from Heppner to Pendle
ton. Her home was always open to
her friends and many can recall the
pleasant hours and days spent around
her fireside. Auht Kate, as she was
familiarly known In the Butter creek
country, had no enemies so far as the
writer has ever known, and he knew
her quite well for the past thirty
years, and her kindly and cheerful
disposition made, of everyone coming
in contact with her, a friend. During
all of her long affliction she still re
tained her happy and cheerful dis
position. Always vigorous, a great
worker and good manager, she was
a splendid helpmate to her husband
and the building of a fine place tn
Butter creek was largely due to her
efforts.
Catherine Johnson Cornett waj
born In Carrigallln, County Leitrlm,
Ireland in the year 1856. When a
girl of seventeen she was married to
Felix Johnson, who had Journeyed all
the way to Ireland from the Pacific
coast to claim her for his bride. They
returned at once to Oregon and lived
for a time at the Currln home in
Clackamas county, Mr. Johnson being
employed there by the father of Geo,
J. Currln of this city. They then
moved to Umatilla county and lived
lor a time on Big Butter creek, and
moving later to Little Butter creek
settled on a homestead and made
clieir permanent home there. Their
youngest son, Felix A. Johnson was
born on this place. The two sons,
John T. and Felix A. were the only
children born to Mr. and Mrs. John
son and for a number of years past
these men have resided in the vicin
ity of Range, Grant county and en
gaged quite extensively In the stock
business. January 7, 1903, Mr. John
son passed away and on July 5, 1906
Mrs. Johnson was united In marriage
to Alex. L. Cornett. They continued
to live on Butter creek until 1908
when they bought the Alex. Thomp
son property In Heppner and moved '
here to reside. Mrs. Cornett's maid
en name was Katherlne Gaffney.
Funeral services were conducted
at the Catholic church at 10 a. m. to
day, Rev. P. J. O'Rourke, officiating
and burial was made in Masonic cem
etery, a very large concourse of
friends and neighbors following the
remains to their final resting place.
Thus it Is we must say farewell to
another ot our honored pioneers. A
good woman has gone to her reward.

CHAS. THOMSON AND FAMILY.
DRAFT CULLS ARE
Two Calls The Past Week Take Total
of 84 Men.
As evidence of the fact that the
War Department is moving up at a
rapid rate in the preparation ot its
army, two draft calls were issued to
the Local Board during this week
and Clerk Waters Is busy issuing the
notices. The first call was tor 12
men to go to Camp McDowell, Calif,
in five days beginning July 6th, 1918,
Clerk Waters has selected the fol
lowing list ot sixteen names out of
which the 12 men will be gathered.
An extra number is selected tor the
reason that quite a number may now
be engaged in work considered es
sential to the Government, such as
shipbuilding, and for this reason may

Lewis, July 22, 1918. After this
quota has been filled, Clerk Waters
states there will be but about twenty
men left in Class 1 of the registrants
of Morrow county. It is possible that
it may be entirely consumed unless
those in the Emergency Fleet work
are released. Clerk Waters has made

Shoulder Dislocated.
John Woodard, of Lena, was in
Heppner a few days the latter part of
the week, nursing a very sore shoul
der. The dislocation was caused by
being thrown from a hay rake while
Mr. Woodard was making hay on
Thursday last. He was driving a
gentle team at the time and every
thing was seemingly moving all right
when a sudden lurch of the machine
threw him to the ground with suffi
cient force to dislocate his arm at
the shoulder. Dr. McMurdo fixed
him up, and John declares he has had
nothing but water to drink for many
a long day and was not "seeing
things" when the accident happened.
His shoulder was very sore and pain
ful for several days.

A. Henriksen, chairman of the Ce
cil school board was In Heppner Tues
day on his way to the mountain
ranch, and while here turned ia bis
report for Cecil to Chairman Wood
son on the V. S. E. drive. The qsota

first day's work this was aboat do
bled. Chairman Henriksen did not
stop at this, bewever, and the work
was continued from the Zlst t the
23rd, with final results of $2298,
something over 60 per ecnt of this
being in cash. According to Mr.
Henriksen this sum is equal to f 13.
85( for every man, woman and child
in his district and is a record of which
the people of Cecil are justly proud.
It would surprise us very much If
this record is equalled by any other
district In the county. Of this, how
ever, we will know later, as reports
are coming in too late tor this issue
of the paper.
Cecil is right up and coming fas all
patriotic efforts. She led Morrow
county, Oregon and the U. S. A. In
per capita subscriptions to the Lib
erty Loan, has stood welt in the lead
in all the Red Cross work and does
not take second place in any war
work that comes along.
I1ES SALE OF MS
J. 8. Buseick Closes Out Ranch, Stack
and Implements at Good Fig
ureDeal Involve at
Least $150,000.
Ij ' '
J. 8. Buseick has disposed of hfc
Grant county sheep ranch, located
at Hamilton, to M. E. Weatherford.
of Arlington. The deal takes what
sheep Mr. Buseick had left and all
other stock and implements on the
place, leaving Mr. Buseick entirely
free. Mr. Buseick and Mr. Weath
erford have been in Heppner for s
couple of days making out the neces
sary papers and immediate posses
sion of the ranch goes to Mr. Weath
erford, who will have associated with
him his three sons in the running of
the place.
The consideration ' was $10 per
acre for the 6153 acres of land, 84,
0(10 for the livestock and farm imple
ments and $15 per head for 1900
head of yearling ewes.
Mr. Weatherford has been engaged
in the sheep business for a amber of
years in Gilliam county and desiring
to take his boys in he has branched
out and gathered in more land and
sheep. He has secured what is said
to be the best heep ranch iu North
ern Grant county and is thus placad
In position to make a lot of money
within the next few years.
Besides the sheep sold to Mr.
Weatherford, Mr. Buseick disposed
of a band of ewes and iambs to Joe
Jackson taking the sheep at the
shearing corral.
Mr. Buseick has not decided just
yet what he will do. The balance of
his sheep, consisting of a car of 2-year-old
wethers, will be shipped
from Heppner today to outside mar
kets, and then he will be entirely
freed from the business. Since go
ing to Grant county eleven years ago.
Mr. Buseick has prospered in the
sheep business, and having been en
gaged in this line for so many years,
he will be somewhat lost. For the
summer Mr. Buseik and family will
rustiate at Blue Mountain Springs.
He may decide to return then to Mor
row county and locate in Heppner,
where he and his wife formerly re
sided and where they have many
friends that will be glad to have
them take up their abode here again.
This entire transaction involves
something like $150,000.

MORROW COUNTY LOSES
ANOTHER GOOD CITIZEN
Charles B, roister of Lexington
Claimed By Death at Hepp
ner Sanatorium.
In the death of Charles R. Pointer
ot Lexington at Heppner Sanatorium
'at 6:00 o'clock on Frldav evenine
June 21. 1918. Morrow county has
lost another of Its foremost citizens
Mr. Pointer had undergone an op-
eraioa tor appendicitis at the hospit
al here on Sunday afternoon, June
16. The operation was a complete
success and Mr. Pointer appeared to
De rapidly recovering, making mark
ed Improvement until Friday after
noon, when he complained of a pain
in his lungs. This seemed to grow
more acute toward evening and he
was suddenly stricken before the
members of his immediate family
could be summoned from Lexington.
His death was caused, so an autopsy
showed, by a clot of blood forming
on the lung. ,
The death of Mr. Pointer came as
a severe shock, not alone to his fam
ily and relatives, but his many
friends as well, as none were prepar
ed to receive the sad news.
Mr. Pointer was one of the lead
ing citizens in his home community,
ever alert in all good works and en
ergetic in their promotion. He had
been farming successfully for the
past fourteen years and can be con
sidered as a moving factor In intro
ducing methods of farming in that
section that have proven eminently
proper in getting the best results, and
his system is now adopted by the
leading farmers of the Lexington
country. Mr. Pointer was enthusias
tic in his farming operations and al
ways rejoiced in the fact that his
part of the county was coming to the
front along this line. He also took
hold, a number of years ago, ot the
proposition of introducing good milk
stock In that section and spent a num
ber of seasons in the Importation of
fine herd of Jerseps and distributing
them among the farmers and ranch
ers. This industry has continued to
grow about Lexington, and has also
reached out to other parts of the
connty, largely through the efforts ot
Charles R. Pointer. Along these
lines he was successful and had ac
cumulated a comfortable fortune for
himself and family. . ,
The finer side of his nature, how
ever was presented in his daily life
among his fellows. He was a con
sistent Christian gentleman, ever
true to his convictions, reliable and
trustworthy. A neighbor In the tru
est sense, and no one knew him but
to like him. As a citizen of Lexing
ton, Mr. Pointer was universally re
spected, and his sterling worth made
him a substantial citizen of the coun
ty and state. The removal of such a
citizen and maa from our midst in
these times is to be regretted and he
will be missed.
Charles Robert Pointer was born
near Rosedale, Kansas, May 16, 1877,
and died in Heppner, Oregon, June
21, 1918, being of the age of 41
years, 1 month and 5 days.
He was married to Elza M. McMil
lan at Lexington, Oregon, Sept. IS,
1904, and she died July 27. 190S.
leaving no issue.
Mr. Pointer was married the sec
ond time to Maude Hazel Cutsforth,
June S, 1910, and to them four chil
dren were born: George Herbert,
Donald Robert, Charles Frederick,
and Jessie Harriett.
Besides the widow and children,
Mr. Pointer Is survived by his father,
Edward A. Folnter, and two broth
ers, E. A. and Jas. A. who reside at
Lexington.
Funeral services were held at the
Congregational church, of which the
deceased was a member, at 9:30 Sun
day morning, Rev. J. L. Jones offi
ciating.. A choir consisting of W. O.
Hilt, Karl U Beach, Mrs. W. L.
Holmes and MIbs Dona Barnett, ren

A GOODjjOLIR
Death of Private Arthur Chapel
Source of Genuine Borrow to
His Officers and Fellow
Soldiers.
We all feel a deep interest in the
boys that go from our home county
to take up their duties In the service
of the country. Mention was made a
couple of weeks ago ot the death, by
drowning at his camp in Texas, of
Private Arthur Chapel, a member of
Troop "K" 16th Cavalry. At that
time we could give no particulars
concerning his death. The following
letter, received by his half-brother,
Archie Z. Barnard, ot this city, gives
a full account, and also mentions
why it was impossible at the time to
prepare the body to be shipped to
Hardman tor interment.
Troop "K" 16th Cavalry,
Headgates, Texas, June 11, 1918.
Mr. Archie Z. Barnard,
Heppner, Oregon.
I would say that about 3:30 p. m.
June 9th, 1918, Pvt. Arthur Chapel
of this troop was accidentally drown
ed under the following circumstan
ces: He was swimming horses with oth
er members of an officer's patrol a
bout a half mile west of La Ferria
Pump, Texas, in the Rio Grande Riv
er, His horse became excited and
threw him off. Pvt. Chapel caught
the horse around the neck near the
head and both went down. Coming
up he tried to save himself but was
evidently knocked unconscious. Oth
er members 'of the patrol tried to
reach him at once but were unable to
do so before he disappeared for'
good.
Efforts were at once commenced to
recover the body and were unsuccess
ful until he came to the surface and
was picked up about 9:00 a. m., June
lOh, 1918. The body was in good
condition with the exception of an
abrasion over the right ear, evidently
caused by being struck by his horse.
The body was brought to San Benito
Pump and embalmed but owing to the
length of time the body" was in the
water it could not properly be pre
nared for shipment at this time. The
body will be burled with military
honors in Ebony Hill Cemetery at
Mercedes, Texas.
Private Chapel was an excellent
soldier who was universally liked by
his officers and his fellow soldiers and
his unfortunate death is a source of
genuine sorrow to all of us.

It was thought the change in location

sad hour goes out to the bereaved
young husband and the sorrowing
mother and brothers here. The fun
eral was largely attended by her for
