mild form.
Announcement was made last week
that the lid would be lifted in Hepp

right now when It will be lifted.

Johhnle Hlatt was down from his
ranch on Rhea creek Tuesday. He
has Just finished threshing of his
own grain, and seems to think it does
not speak very well when a farmer
has to take two years to thresh out
a thousand sacks of grain. However,
It was pretty close to 1919 when he
got home with the machine and went
to work on his own crop. Weather
is mild out that way, it being much
warmer toward the mountains than
it is down at Heppner.
Is Putting Vp Ice.
Joseph Snyder, the ice man, is
busy these days in storing away a
quantity of ice for the coming
season. He has been harvesting the

ion. Should the present favorable
weather continue for any length of
ima Mr. Snyder will gather m at
least 300 ton of fine, clear ice
Ui'h Is being frozen oafthe pond al

should be sufficient to run the season

miles of his destination orders were
given to return home. Young Potter
tried to get transferred Into .the
military service but could not, and
was honorably discharged from the
Navy, coming direct home. He was
not a little disappointed in the
failure of his boat to land at a port
In France, and further disappointed
that the war was brought to a close
before he had seeu active service.

Hardman this week, Guy L. Hadley,

Mr. Hadley passed away at his home

citizen of the Hardman section,
where he grew up, and was held In
high esteem by the people of that
community. To his family and aged
parents the sympathy of the entire
community is extended in this hour
of bereavement.
Price Fixing Days Draw to Close.
The ' Governmental restrictions
have already gone off mlllstuff and
flour and in all probability there will
be an easing off along the line very
early in the new year and it will be
every man for himself and the "divil
take the hindermost." There are few
people who would own up to being
pleased with governmental regula
tion f prices. The man who bought
the regulated stuff always figured
that the price was put too high to
the producer and the producer felt
.that If the Government hadn't butted
iftJhip would have been able to have
gbt -more than he did. '
i "ThArA wprn lnhnrinff men who for

khan their grocery bill and rent and
either living expenses come to and
t?hey wanted to buy all the sugar they
...lined for once in their life andthe
Government wouldn't let them, and
so on down the line. When we con
sider what threatened the world, and
ilio privations suffered by those with
in smell of the gun powder, the noise
that we heard around home here was
nothing more nor less than a whine.
Soldiers' News Letter.
Bon Spencer Gets Bedun Car.
Ben Spencer, son of John Spencer
of Butter Creety, was the fortunate
young man who secured the Sedan
car awarded by the Girls' Honor
Guard Wednesday. The winning
number was 153. R. B. Stanfield
held the second number drawn, but
as there was no prize attached to
oetoiid place, it was an empty honoj.

been made several weeks ago, but it
was-delayed because of the influenza
bap. On the first of the year the
young ladies of the Guard decided to
get rid of the car without waiting for

To make secure his summer range,

Mr. Kilkenny is one of the biggest
land and sheep owners of Morrow

Fields lauds on Hinton ' and Butter
creeks. He runs large bands of
sheep and has felt the need of
summer range very badly the past
season, when he "was "jitted", out of
a lot of range land in the. mountains
that he felt he was entitled to use.
In order to overcome this difficulty
in the future, Mr. Kilkenny has pur
chased the 13,000 acres in the high
mountains and this will aid hini
materially in carng for his summer
problems in the handling of some
20,000 head of sheep.
This deal was handled through
the agency of the Farmers Exchange
of the Inland Empire of Heppner,
Messers. F. A. McMenamin and F. R.
Brown, managers. The Exchange
has been doing business at Heppner
but a short time but they have
already put through a number of im
portant realty deals, and look for
ward to handling much business in
this line. The Kilkenny tract was
purchased from the Oregon Lumber
Co., of Baker at a consideration of
$5 per acre, and involves a total of
$65,000. It is understood that the
Exchange have some other largo
deals pending that will be put over
in the near future.

Students Will Ho Advanced.
There seems to be some appre
hension on the part of many pupils
and parents, that, owing to the In
fluenza having closed down the school
for so long, pupils will lose out In
their grades, and fail of proper
advancement. We have been given
to understand that this will not be
the case and that a proper plan of
grading tho pupils for tho advance
ment will be worked out and all
thosa entitled to go ahead will be
allowed to do so. Heppner is suffer
ing no worse from the influenza
situation than most other towns and
cities of the state, and the school
authorities will do all they can to
help the pupils along.
We had announced the raising of
the ban on the Heppner school for
lust Monday, but for good and
sufficient reasons the authorities
thought best to keep closed for a
time yet, arid wo cannot say just
when the school will open for work
again. In the meantime, much home
work has been done and the pupil?,
are handing In their papers for
proper marking by their teachers.
