Richardson is in receipt of a letter this week from Mrs. Ray Hyland, Eugene, announcing the death from influenza on the 3rd of December of her husband. Mr. and Mrs. Hyland will be remembered by many Heppner people, as they made their home in this city for a number of years. Geo. D. Anderson, who has charge of the Jack Hynd sheep and spent the summer months with the bands in the Granite section, was up from Cecil on Saturday, his first trip to Heppner since the big fire. After . spending a day or two here, he went on out to Ukiah to visit a few days with a brother living there. T. B. Bufflngton, of lone, was a pleasant caller at this office while in town on Tuesday. He stated that his little city was now getting its full share of the flu and there Is qultfc a number of very serious cases there. His family were among those who had the disease when it first struck the town and they are now fully re , covered. Eph Eskelson of Meadow Brook Farm, was up to Heppner on Friday last. His family have been victims of the flu and Mrs. Eskelson was not able to be out for about four weeks. During this time Eph has been chief cook and housekeeper at his home, and. he is rather Inclined to think that on account of his great skill as a cook, his wife was not in much of a hurry to get back on the Job again. In remitting for the Gazette-Times, which will go to his address for another year, W. F. Rhea wishes us a Happy New Year. We note that Mr. Rhea is one of the Morrow county boys that has made good. He has lived in the Montana country for a great many years and has succeed ed well as a stockman of his section. He is now president of the First Na tional Bank of Bainville, Montana. Mr. and Mrs. W.

He is now reported as im proved and on the road to recovery. Mr. and Mrs. Smead are quarantined at the White residence in Pendleton. Walter, the infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Lynn Purdin, died suddenly on Sunday evening from an tatack of influenza. The baby was two years of age and had boon sick but a very short time when death came.

The family of Mr. Purdin, who is the foreman In the Herald offlco, arrived at Heppner just a short time ago and some of the older children were sick with influenza when thoy got here. These have fully recovered. ESTRAYK1) A ,5-year-old Lincoln buck, from my place on- Eight Mile. No visible brands or marks. Horns curl close to face and are sawed off about opposite eyes. Animal left my place about, a month ago. Notify R. E. ALLSTOTT, Eight Mile, Oregon dl9-tf STIRRED BY GREAT PARADE M.my Will Think That the Little Mar Wa a Trifle Unjust to Hit Own Importance. The swelling roar of cheers outside mnde the Little Mon drop a papc weight on his ledger leaves and bolt to the Dearest window, says Collier's Weekly. Down the street came the gvurd of honor, mounted police pre- cellng some sunburnt regulars from oor Mexican border, and behind them swung half a company of rail French jHilhiK. the sort that turned back the Boche from Verdun and the Chemln des Dames. Short, quick stepping, steel built men of France they werje. with keen, dark faces under the lop plr? tnm o' shnnter headgear of the Corps Alpln, rolling along with their Noah's ark pucks and bayonets set for action. The cheering actually seemed to shove the buildings back fr.m the street. Long ago the Forum must have welcomed thus the legion aries who had saved Roman civiliza tion from the barbarian in those bit-te- struggles through'Gaul and Daein. Everyman's sleeves showed the stripes thnt meant wounds, and his breast the dc.'orations that meant valor. "They did make one feel so old and us-loss and out of It," as the Little Man told his wife next morning. So he ground out the day's work with his tenh set hard, bought some more thrift stamps, took the first car for heme, spent the rest of th daylight hours in caring for his beans, pota toes and cabbage, got through a war fare dinner and put in the evenlug seUIng Mr. MeAdoo's pet bonds to some boss metal workers whom he lnd met in the lodge hist winter. Get ting home at 10:00 p. m., he routed nut that 1917 model straw hat, cleaned It up for another campaign, and some time later fell Into bed as if it had !ieen a dugout "If this gets much worse I'll learn to knit," was his lust waking thought, "and If they want to keep me out of this war they'll have to put bolts on It." After all, things seen ore mightier thnn things heard, and the Little Man and Tennyson are both right. NEW YORK'S MANY MINERALS Astonishing Variety la Known to Exirt Beneath the Streets o'f American Metropolis. Everyone knows that Boston Is a great center of copper mining, and that New York is the center of all other mining Industries of the coun try, but few realize that either of these cities have opportunities to mine for anything except subways at home. It seems, however, that New York's ex traordinary activities In the mining business must have received their first Impetus not from Wall street, but from a varied experience gained In deuliug with the rock of Manhattan. More than 118 varieties of minerals and several kinds of gems have been found on the Island, according to Electrical Experimenter. Aquama rines weighing 14 karats have been found at Broadway and One Hundred and Fifty-seventh street. The min ing possibilities at Broadway and One Hundred und Seventy-sixth street are almost unlimited. Green tounnnllne gems, magnetite and Iron ore, dial copyrlte, malachite, pyrrhotite and n crystal form of nickel have been found there. Other minerals to be had on the island ore zlnclte, used In the manu facture of perlkon detector, roebllnglte, agate, nmazon-stone, amber, amethyst, chrysoherji, fire opal, garnet, perister lte, prehnlte, rock crystal, rose quartz, smoky quartz, precious serpentine, tourinullne and wlllcmite, silver, leud, line, copper, Iron, ieidspar, molybde nitewhich is used In the molybdenite detector graflte, asbestos, mica, beryl, torbenlte and urantnlte. They Don't Have to See the Flag. When one Is as putrlotlc and re spectful to the flag as a Great Lakes bluejacket Is the colors can be heard even when not seen. Facing the station on the sidewalk in front of her home In North Chicago a woman noticed several jackles ab ruptly stop in their walk, come to at tention and salute, standing thus for a couple of minutes. On several occa sions she noticed this and finally her curiosity made her ask the reason thereof. "Colors," replied a sailor. "But where do you see the flag?" nsked the lndy. "I can't see It," was the reply, "but I hoar the sound of bugle and drums In 'To the Colors,' and I know this is the time of day." Chicago News. Good General Rule. A New York magistrate, warning chauffeurs to avoid accident, told them not to confuse a small child in the roadway by loud blasts of the horn, but to slow down and give the child a chance to get out of the way. Fewer accidents would happen to pe destrians of any ago were other meth ods of prevention used by motorists, save the single one of blowing n horn nnd leaving the rest to chance or prov idence. Baltimore American. Clemencrau's Compromise. Here Is a bon-mot of Clemenccau which is making the rounds of Pails: The usual number of rifles used In a French firing party at the death of a traitor Is twelve. Many persons went to Clomeneean trying to Influence him riot to Impose the death penalty on Bnlo. "Anyway, he was only half a traitor," said one Influential man to the Tiger. "Tint being so, It Is easily arranged," snld Clemcnceau. "We will ?lve him onlv ix rifles." GOES FAR BACK IN HISTORY French City of Montdidier Wat cf Im- portance In First Millennium of i the Christian Era. , The National Geographic society Is-! sues the following war geography bul letin on MontdWler, a few miles east of Amiens: "This little town, whose history dates back to the first millennium of , the Christian era, had a population ; of less than 5,000 at the beginning of i the war, but It was rich in historic i associations. It is said to have de- i rived Its name from the fact that Dldier or Desiderlus, the last of the! Lombard kings, was Imprisoned here ! In 774 by Charlemagne. It will be re- j membered that Charlemagne, having j put nside his first wife, Desiderlus' daughter, took up the quarrel of Pope , Adrian I with the Lombard monarch, and after marching an army across ' the Alps, captured the erstwhile fa-, ther-In-law's capital city, Tlclnura, 1 and took the vanquished ruler back to France, where he died In captivity. "Montdidier is attractively situated on an eminence on the hanks of the river Don. It is the capital of an nr rondissement In the department of the Somme, and Is 62 miles north of Paris by rail, and miles southeast of Amiens. Its chief Industries be fore the war were tanneries and the manufacture of zinc-white. ! "When the tides of war finally re cede it is probable that the three build ings in which the citizens of Mont didier took the greatest pride will be crumbling ruins. These are the church of St. Pierre, which was built before fViiumbus set sail on his voyage of discovery, and which contulns a tomb and font of the eleventh century; the church of St. Sepulchre, a fifteenth century edifice, and the Palais de Jus tice, formerly the city castle. In the last named building visitors before the war were shown six unusually hand some Brussels tapestries of the sev enteenth century. These were un doubtedly removed before the Ger mans entered the city. "Montdidler's most famous son was Parmentier, the scientist, who gave Impetus to the culture of the potato In France. A statue erected here com memorates his gift to the nation. "For a number of years this little city was governed by Its own lords, then passed under the dominion of the counts of Crepy and Valois. In the twelfth century it became a posses sion of the French crown and received a charter of liberties. In 1636 It of fered a gallant and successful resist ance to the Spanish Invaders." Avoid Grouch and Live Long. '" Writing for the Minneapolis Jour nal, A. J. R. notes the demise of a Se attle citizen one hundred and three years old, and suggests that one of the reasons why he lived so long was that he never grouched at the break fast table or elsewhere. Discussing this, A. J. R. writes "The enjoyment of breakfast and of the sunrise always comes so eas ily to me that I sometimes wail In charity for persons who, I have been led to believe, start the generous day wrong by raising hades at the break fast table. I will freely wager 75 cents that the Seattle centena rian who lived to be one hun dred and three never Insurged at breakfast, never complained of the food, nor sneerpd at his wife's cook ing." The aged Seattler ascribed his lon gevity to his own temper; he had not been angry since he was twenty, and had driven a yoke of oxen most of his life. Also, loved everybody, and every body loved him. He Hadn't Realized. The custodian of an Indianapolis building recently hired a colored man, George, to work about the building. George had always worked as a "house man" and came well recommended. The first day of his employment, how ever, George was out for lunch the greater part of three hours. The custodian was naturally an noyed. "Where In thunder huve you been?" he inquired the minute he set eyes on the erring George. "Me? Why, I'se been home tukln' a nap," George answered, lu a surprised tone. "I always takes a nap in the middle of the day." "Well, believe me," the custodian de clared, "you don't do that any more. You're needed around here." Was George aggrieved? Not a bit of it. A most appreciative grin spread over his face. "Well, now," he said slowly, "you'll have to excuse me this time, boss. It's Just that I didn't realize before how important I is around here." Labor-Saving Harvester. One thousand improved wheat-harvesting machines, known as combines will be used in Washington state ami other states of the Northwest thi year, according to farm-help special ists of the United States department of agriculture, and will effect a great sav ing in labor, These machines, which cut the heads from wheat nnd thrash the grain as they travel across the field, con be operated by two persons, and each machine will harvest from 350 to 400 acres of wheat during a season. They are marked labor savers over the old type combine, which re quired nbout 20 men. No Chance for the Old Man. Tt was the first time that Richard's father had seen "her" and they were talking things over. "So my son has proposed to you," ho ald, "and you've accepted him? I think you might have seen me first." She blushed sweetly as she replied : "I did, but 1 think T prefer Richard." ;m.
