JOHN L. HUGHES.
Administrator.
Announcement of the death of
Harry T. Bagley, prominent citizen
and attorney of Hillsboro, is made in
the Portland Telegram of Tuesdav.
Mr. Bagley died at his home in
Hillsboro on Monday evening, a
victim of Spanish influenza. Mr.
Bagley will be remembered by many
Heppner people as he lived here
when he was a young man and read
law In the office of J. N. Brown of
this city. At the time of his death
he was 44 years of age. Mr. Bagley
was married to Miss Cora Rhea of
this city, who survives him. They
have no children.
I. N. Gabrielson, of the Biological
Survey Bureau oi the Department of
Agriculture, arrived at Heppner
last week and has been engaged in
giving demonstrations as to the
proper procedure in the poisoning of
rabbits. His methods will be curried
out by County Agent Brown when
the big rabbit kill conies of in the
north end of the coun;y. Mr. Brown
states that everything is in readiness
for this poisoning stunt just as soon
as there comes a sufficient covering
of snow to drive the rabbits to the
feeding pens.
Waldo Vincent of Lena, who is in
the Portland Medical Hospital at
Portland and undergoing treatment,
is reported to be getting along well.
Mrs. Vincent returned from Portland
the past week and at the present
time Is visiting with her mother,
Mrs. Mattie Adkins in Heppner. She
states that Mr. Vincent seemed to be
suffering with a complication of ail
ments since his hard spell of flu,
some of the trouble dating even back
of his attack of the epidemic, and he
will remain' at the hospital until he
is fully recovered.
Spring-like weather has prevailed
in the Heppner country for the past
week. The big chinook wind re
moved every bit of snow and frost
from the ground and all signs of win
ter have apparently disappeared.
Rains have been frequent and the
ground is very wet at present. It
would seem that it is rather early yet
for such fine weather and we may
well look for something of a far dif
ferent and more unpleasant sort be
fore the ides of March.
Mrs. Lena Snell Shurte went over
to Boardman today, where she will
attend to some matters in connection
with her duties as school superinten
dent. She was accompanied by Mr.
Shurte.
-Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Ayers departed
for Portland this morning and will
visit in the city for a short time.
New Telephone Toll Rates in Effect.
A new method of computing tel
ephone toll calls to points outside of
the local service area, became effec
tive throughout the United States as
authorized by the postmaster gen
eral, at 12:01 a. m., January 21st,
The increase in the Drioe nf "nor.
son to person" calls is occasioned be
cause this class of call takes over
twice as much time and effort on tin
part of the operator as the "station
to jta'.jorf '. i-alls. In the latter call?,
the ivi Aii ) ori-'inalss the f all dd'
not specify 'the particular person to
be readied at the station, and simply
gives the telephone number or nam
and address of the subscriber at tel
ephone called. But in a "person tr
person" call, the one who places the
! call spaclfes a particular person at
a certain place. No '"person to per
son calls be accepted for less
than -0 cents.
Anotner source of increase in ex
pense for telephone users come
from the new ruling that In the cas
of a "person to person" call if the
person desired is not In or will not
talk, the report of this by the opera
tor will cost 25 per cent of the
"station to station" rate.
The following reduced rates for
night service on a "station to sta
jtion" basis will also go into effect:
8:30 p. m. to 12 midnight, about
I half the "station to station" day rate;
j 12 midnight to 4:30 a. m., about one
fourth of t lie "station to station"
I day rate. No night calls are accepted
i for less ttian 2o cents.
A pamphlet explaining the new
rates has been mailed to telephone
r.atrciR at Heppner from thi Port
land office of the Parfffic Teh phons
and Telegraph Company.
