years or so ago there was a big road
meeting in Heppnc a .d a move was

is still a question to be settled. The

I? ne thing left to do: complete
the road. Talk is good in its place
but here is a case where less talk
ahU mure action is required. We can
well remember how this same thing
v; s talked about some twenty-five
years ago, and while the Heppner
people were talking, Pendleton put a

pered the trade. Can't we just DO
s( "'filing once, and then talk about
what we have done, rather than just
what we want to do?

That is some joke friend Pattison
of the Herald has suggested to the
citizens of Morrow county. Heppner,
no doubt, would appreciate a monu
ment erected to the soldiers of the
county in the shape of a "community
house" at this place, with all those
fanciful appurtenances of "comfort
station," "ladies toilet rooms and
bath rooms," etc., combined with a
nice room for "the ladies' mayor and
councilmen" to meet in. but we
hardly expect the taxpayers of the
county to consent to it. Besides, Pat,
have you forgotten that we already
have a couple of "comfort stations"
and why not add the baths to these?
The ten million dollar road bond

Parish Buys Automobile.
The generosity of the members of
St. Patrick's parish of Heppner
prompted them this week to .buy an
automobile for the use of Father
O'Rourke. They chose an Essex
roadster and purchased one of these
excellent cars from the local agents,
Messrs. Vaughn & Sons. Father
O'Rourke will be able by the use ot
the car to get about the members of
his parish, which are pretty well
scattered over the county and he will
accept this gift at the hands of his
parishoners as one who is well
situated to thoroughly appreciate It.
Has Completed Xew Well,
Wm. Copenhaver reports the com
pletion of a new well on his place
north of Swaggart Buttes the past
week. At a depth of 177 feet an
abundant supply of water has been
secured. The well was put down by
Taylor Bros, of Lexington, and Mr.
Copenhaver now rejoices that he has
all kinds of good water and the days
of transporting that commodity from
a distance is over with him.

Come Ride in the Essex
Its First Showing A Light Weight Quality Car
We Want Your Opinion of It
, AU motordora has waited a year for the Essex.
Dealers have ventured all sorts of descriptions for it.
But today it is having its premier showing in hundreds of
cities and towns throughout America.
For months the trade papers have given first prominence
to whatever news they could get of its details.
Their interest was awakened because it combines the
advantages of the light low priced car, and its economy,
with the performance, sturdiness and beauty of the large
and costly car. One leading writer proclaimed the Essex
a new development in motor car transportation.
Don't you want to be among the first in this locality
to see the car that has awakened this interest? We wish
you would come and ride in it for
You Are To Do
Its Advertising
We have long wanted to reveal the details of the Essex.
But the manufacturers said they wanted the car to speak
for itself. They said no description that could be applied
to it would create as favorable an impression as would
result from a ride in the car.
Even now we hesitate to praise the Essex. since we can
say nothing that has not already been claimed in praise for
some other car.
So the endorsement it is to receive is such as you and
other thousands of motorists volunteer to give. All we ask
is that you come see and ride in it.
We Were Surprised
Let Us Surprise You
When we went to the factory to see the
Essex we wanted to know in advance some
thing of its detail. But we were told that
was for us to discover as we inspected and
rode in the car.
Perhaps we would have be;n skeptical
and have concluded there was nothing un
usual about the Essex if we had uot known
the men who are building it. But knowing them as we do
and knowing the quality of cars they build, our faith and
curiosity were aroused.
What a Ride
Proved to Us
Our first experience was a ride over a road so rough that
you would willingly go miles out of the way to avoid if
you were in the average light car.
We took it at high speed, but the effect in both the front
and rear seats was more in keeping with what you might
expect in riding over a smooth pavement.
Then we drove into soft sand where the wheels sunk in
below the felloes, going through as though it were thin mud:
Every test that reveah performance was shown us.
There were no squeaks. The motor did not labor. The car
had been in similar service for months and still retained
its appearance of newness. These are things we want to
show you. A demonstration like that which surprised us
is ready for you if you will come to our store.
The Essex is Built
To Endure
Every part that wears is adjustable. . Hard service can
not loosen the body nor twist the radiator. It is so sturdily
built that the frame remains solid and rigid over the roughest
roads and through the hardest service. The motor
is practically free from vibration. If you were
blindfolded and placed in the Essex without
having seen it and then were given such a
ride as we want you to take with us, you would
likely say you were in a large and costly car.
After you have ridden in the Essex we
will tell you all about it.
Then, we think you will be so enthusiastic
you will tell everyone you know that you
have ridden in the most surprising car you
have ever Ken.
