Sheriff E. M. Sliutt announces that
it will be the policy of liis office to
atri' i !j enforce the law against all
those who are making it a habit to
get drunk and disturb the dignity
of the State of Oregon. During the
week he has "run In" seven offenders
of this sort, and three of these had
the pleasure of taking a rest ovet
night in the county jail. These
fellows have been getting drunk on
Anything they, might get hold of that
contained sufficient alcohol to make
them boozy, and not a few of them
became quite boistrous. The sheriff
.has instructed his deputies all over
the county that the law against
drunkenness must be strictly en
forced and it will be their duty to
arrest all violators and take them
before the nearest Justice of the
Peace and have them, fined, and
there will be no exceptions made.
The net cash results in fines to the
county the past week Is the sum of
' $190. The law under which the
sheriff Is operating Is as follows:
Chapter 40, 1917 laws of Oregon.
Section 1. It shall be unlawful for
any person to enter or be found In a
state of Intoxication or to drink In

the State of Oregon; and it shall be
unlawful for any person to be drunk
in any highway, street, or in any
public place or building, or for any
.person to be drunk in any private
building or place and disturbing
others. Any person violating this
section shall upon conviction thereof
be fined in any sum not less than
Ten Dollars, and not more than One
Hundred Dollars, or be imprisoned
in the county jail for a period not ex

Will Build Hying Machine Here.
Heppner will likely have some
flying exhibits all her own, if the
plans of C. B. Vickers, head ma
chinist at the Universal Garage come
to a head. Mr. Vickers left for
Portland Sunday, and after a day or
two in that city he will go to Seattle,
where he will get together the nec
essary machinery and other material
out of which to construct an air
plane. Those will be shipped to
Unppner and Mr. Vickers will as
semble the machine here, and prom
ises to give our citizens some real
stunts and thrills In the air. Having
spent months in the air service of
Uncle Sam at the bis training camps
in Texas, Lieut. Vickers, for such was
his official position while in the
service, understands the game
thoroughly and will lie able to put
Heppner on the map in this par
ticular, at least.
Books Being Kxpcrtcd.

of the firm of C'randall & Roberts,
expert accountants, are busy at the

experts have been delayed in getting

FOR SUFFERERS
IN NEAR EAST
So far Morrow county has failed to
rnlse her quota In the drive for relief
funds for the suffers In the Near
East, and Chairman Notson informs
this paper that about one-third, only,
of the amount asked of this county
has been raised. It is the intention
to continue the drive, and May 16tli
has been set as the date to put this
county over.
- Writing to Mr. Notson, under date
of April 19th, Treasurer Ben Selling
says:
"I have just listened, with much
interest, to Mr. Thompson's account
of his visit to Heppner, and of your
determination to see that the county
raises its quota in full in the next
thirty days. You may be sure this
office will give you every co-operation
possible. County after county has
sont In its quota in full or more,
until I hope within the next few days
to send to New York a check for
$50,000. I wish that I might have
a nice subscription from Morrow
county for that chock, but I know
these matters take time.
"Just as soon as we hear that
Morrow has completed Its Victory
Loan quota, we are ready to write,
telegraph, or help in any way we can
to help make your campaign of May
16th a success."

EXHIBITS FINE
WOOL FLEECES
Jack Hynd, of Cecil, has on ex
hibition at the First National bank
In this city, three clps of wool that
have been of much interest during
the week. These clips are the result
of some experimenting on tho part of
Mr. Hynd, and he feels well satisfied
over the results obtained. While none
of the wool Is classed as fine wool,
being of the coarser grades, yet it
cannot be considered altogether in
the coarse wool class. It Is of very
long staple, very clean and of ex
cellent fiber, showing that the sheep
from which the clips were taken, had
wintered well, and Mr. Hynd says
that his entire clip of wool shows up
after this fashion this year.
The finest fleece Is from a half
blood Lincoln ewe, the result of a
cross with a full blood Ramboulette.
She Is six years old, and the fleece
weighs 11 pounds. A fleece from
this same ewe brought $8.50 at
Portland last year.
Another is from a lamb of this ewe,
bred back to a Lincoln buck. The
fleece Is from a yearling and weighs
19 pounds.
The third fleece is from a, half
blood Lincoln yearling and weighs
16 pounds.
Mr. Hynd has just finished shear
ing 2300 head of half blood Llncolns,
getting an average of 11 to 12
pounds to the fleece. He has finished
with all his shearing at the Cecil
ranch, and states that his clip Is
exceptionally fine In quality and
cleanness this year.
R. E. Chadwick of Portland, rep
resenting the Pacific Building & Loan
Association of Tacoma, was In Hepp
ner the first of the week looking
after business for his company. This
Association has quite a number of
stockholders In Heppner, and while

ments for placing a number of loans

the city.
SENIOR CLASS
ENJOYS PARTY
There's an April Topsy-Turvy Party,
the following plan and date,
No matter what's the weather
be sure that you're not late.
'Twill all be most unusual
a merry mix-up quite,
And this Is what you all must do
to join the fun that night:
To make things topsy-turvy,
will mix our clothes up, too.
Well put on something upside down,
or wear it wrong side to.
Or on our feet, will wear some shoes
that do not match each other
And really 'twill be bard to tell
one person from another.
At 7:45 the entire Senior class,
accompanied by their adviser, Miss
Thlele, carefully walked backwards
up the steps and were admitted to
the back door of the Akers', home.
Quite an interesting scene ensued.
Shirts, coats, dresses, were worn
in every style but the style that was
meant for them to be worn, hair was
dressed in the most alarming fashion,
from the demurrest pig-tail to the
elaborate coilTure that might have
been the envy of a queen of the
Cannibal Islands; and tatooing ap
peared in fantastic designs on the
faces of the different guests. The
display of colored hoisery was equally
surprizing.
The evening passed quickly. The
games were unique and interesting,
many of them being familiar games
played backward; there were also
some new and amusing games.
Nothing reed be said of the success
of the party; the evident enjoyment
of the guests spoke more plainly than
words.
Refreshments were served, a few
more games were played and the
guests bade good-night to their host
and hostess, expressing rather in
elegantly, yet truthfully thaU "We
certainly have had the time of our
lives."

and Miss Radabaugh.

Dr. Harold Bean was in Heppner a

Son of Mr. and Mrs. Roy E. Tyler
Receives Fractured Skull.
Edward Stokes Tyler, aged ten
years, son of Mr. and Mrs. Royal E.
Tyler, residing south of Lexington,
was almost instantly killed at 4:30
o'clock Tuesday afternoon, by being
thrown from his saddle and dragged
for a distance of a quarter of a mile.
The little boy had just returned
home from school,, when he was sent
on his pony to take tho stock to the
pasture. He had to ride out along
the road, and in making a run to head
off some of the cattle it Is supposed
ihe pony made a sudden turn and
the boy was thrown from the saddle.
His foot held in the stirrup and be
was dragged for a distance of at least
a quarter of a mile before the strap
broke and released him. The acci
dent was witnessed from a distance,
and Mr. Tyler saw the boy running
after the stock from the field where
he was working, but did not see him
fall from the saddle.
The pony was a new one on the
place, having been brought there a
few days before, and while the animal
seemed perfectly well broken, it evi
dently became badly frightened when
the boy fell. Mr. Tyler rushed out
and picked the boy up and carried
him to the house. It was found that
his skull was fractured over the right
eye, and the body was covered with
bruises from head to foot, indicating
that he must have been struck fre
quently by the hoof3 of the horse.
Whether the fracture was caused by
a kick from the horse or by impact
when the boy struck the ground,
could not be ascertained. A call was
at once put in for a doctor, but the
lad lived but about a half hour after
being carried to the house.
Edward was the oldest child of the
family and his sudden taking away
conies as a very severe shock to the
parents. Funeral arrangements had
not all been completed last evening,
and the burial will likely take place
at Lexington on Friday, awaiting the
arrival of some of the relatives of the
family from a distance.
Mr. and Mrs. Tyler are very grate
ful to their friends and neighbors
for the great assistance they have
been to them in this hour of grief.
T'ney have proven themselves friends,
indeed, and words cannot express the
heartfelt tliaukfulliiess of Mr. and
Mrs. Tyler.

OLD ENEMIES TO
MIX SATURDAY
Heppner and lone will cross bats
on tho Heppner diamond next Satur
day afternoon. This will be another
anie in the series of the high school
league, and so far Heppner has a
perfect score of no games lost. This
of course applies to the games
played between Lexington, lone and
Heppner, and does not take into ac
count that trip to Moro last Saturday
and the game played with the Moro
boys, who walked off with every
thing. Our lads seemed to have been
sadly handicapped in this engage
ment, as well as the one played with
the Wasco boys on Sunday. The
score in the Moro game has not been
made known to this paper but we
understand that the Heppner lads
had a perfect score of goose eggs to
the end of the game. A return game
with these two teams is scheduled
for Heppner on May 2nd, when our
hope to be able to reciprocate In a
small degree, the splendid hospitality
extended them on their visit to the
Sherman county capitol.
