An Elk barbecue will ; be staged on Thursday, August 15th. i at Harrlman lodge, on the shores of ; White Pelican Bay, and following the j big feed, a vaudeville entertainment! will be staged in a natural ampithe-j atre discovered by the Klamath Falls , committee some months ago. The ; acts for this entertainment will be furnished by each lodge of the state in th form of surprise acts, which will be both novel and entertaining. Trips into the wonder spots of the Klamath country, street dances, and the old fashioned carnival will be Kta.ied in Klamath Falls and fvery moment of the three-day session promises to be filled with fun and frolic. A special deluxe train will be op erated from Portland to Klamath j Falls, leaving Portland at 11 a. m. j on August 13th. Many of the lodges j throughout the state will take ad vantage of this special rain, with its : reduced rates, while many others are planning on motoring to the conven tion. Reservations on the special I train can be made by communicating j with William J. McGinn, chairman of the transportation committee of I the state Association, Elks Club, j Portland, Oregon.

"Eternal Triangle" and Big Touring Car Figure In Arrest The "eternal triangle" was fea tured in an episode which had Its climax in Heppner last Thursday when two nieumers ot the triangle were arrested by IVputy Sheriff Me lht'Tee and City .Marshal Casou. One point of the triangle touched at Portland, one at Pendleton and the other at Heppner. 1 Mrs. McCreau was iu Portland. Her husband was in Pendleton. Re cently they returned from California. She says her husband was a part of a bootlegging ring, anyway that is what she told the otheers. Her husband had the big Haynes touring ear in Pendleton and as she says, "he ex pected to leave soon for Idaho on an important deal, in which he expected to clean up a few thousand dollars on an illicit booze proposition." So Mrs. McCrean hired a chauffuer from Portland by the name of Schwarz, and they went to Pendleton I and got away with the car. That is, j they were getting aw ay with it until J they met with motor trouble in Sand! in phone connection with her hus band mid he came over the next day and fixed things up. The MeCreaus went back to Pendleton and Schwarz. the hired chauffuer from Portland, returned to that city Saturday, tnlghty glad, as lie said, to be free from the mess which he unwittingly got into. Former lone Man Goes To Pendleton To Reside' City Of lone Will Put In New Water Pipes The City of lone is getting prices and estimates on the cost of putting in a new system of water maius. Sev eral years ago the city put in a sys tem of wood pipes and these have proved far from satisfactory. Leaks in many places have been general and the condition of the pipe, finally, would not stand the high pressure from the city's reservoir and as a re sult the city has had to resort to a very low pressure during the last sev eral months. 11. V. Gates, president of the Heppner Light & Water Co., is figuring with them and they may accept his services in putting in their new system. A. W. Luiulell, formerly of lone. ; who has been Ihing in Wetou for ,11)0 past few years, has moved with ; his family to Pendleton. Mr. Luu j dell has taken a position with the jJoe Kerley company, a Pendleton iu I surance firm. Since going to the ! Houud-Vp city.

Mr. Huston says lie and j his family just returned from an ex-j tensive auto trip through the John ' Day country and over in the interior i as far as Malhuer. They found a ! dryer country and rougher roads than j in Morrow county and return home 1 more pleased than ever with this par-! ticular section. The Hustons visited at Baker and made the return trip by ; the way of the Grande Ronde valley In speaking of crop conditions in the upper Eight Mile secti -n, Mr. Huston said: "It has been one ot the most remarkable seasons I have ever seen here. In fact I doubt if there has been a more remarkable one. When you consider that our spring grain matured without a drop of rain and that we will harvest a fair crop and : spi-e of that dry condition, you will realize what a wonderful country we have here." One piece of Mr. Hus-' ton's grain stands four feet high and ' Is thick on the ground, and although j the heads are not large, the quality j is excellent. He is using a one-man j combine in harvesting his crop. Rabbits are destroying the sheep range south of Echo to such an ex tent that he sheepmen are interested in the poisoning of the pests and have offered to co-operate with the farm ers, according to Fred Bennion. county agent, and D. L. Jamison of the V. S. Biological Survey, who re turned from a survey of the west end of the county. The survey, which was made for the purpose of investigating condi tions before the winter poisoning 1 campaign, revealed also that the rab bits are especially thick on the alfal fa farms on Butter creek. Another serious phase of the situa tion, says Mr. eBnnion, toward which the energies of the coming extermin ation campaign will be directed, is the great number of rabbits in the inside territory, which is covered with sage brush and which while not fami ng territory, forms ab reeding place for the rabbits. Such territory is lo cated on a strip of land between the Columbia and Hermiston project, with another strip between the Uma tilla an dthe Cold Springs reservori, and a third between Stanfield and Hermiston. Extermination of rabibts in this territory, in the opinion of Mr. Bnenion, is the most important work of all as it will stop the spread ing of animals to cultivated land. , Sentiment in the west end Is strong In favor of the poisoning, according to Mr. Bennion, and the farmers seem eager to cooperate. Estimates of the poison necesary for the work will be made and the campaign organized for the winter work. J. F. McXaught of Hermiston will be an assistant of Mr. Bennion's. Mr. Bennion and Mr. Jamison will visit Pilot Rock and Nolin to continue investigations. Pendleton E. 0. summoned to the scene and he towed 1 the car and its occupants into Hepp-j iter. Iu the meantime, a warrant for i the arrest of the couple had been sent out by Sheriff Taylor of Vmatilla county and the local officers were not long in taking them in charge. Mrs. McCrean was not held, al though her accomplice remained in jail over night. She immediately got Frank Gilliam Appointed Trustee. At a meeting of the creditors in this city last Saturday in the matter of Palace Hotel Company, bankrupt, Frank Gilliam, one of the chief cred itors, was appointed trustee. A. M. Cannon, referee in bankruptcy, pre sided at the meeting. The total in debtedness of the company is placed at $14,511.45, while assets are given as $9500. IMPORTANT TO AUTO OWNERS The W. B.

" Welch 8c Lininger Echo Man Attacked By Angry Laborer Over Wage Payment Because his employer did not have sufficient cash on hand to pay him and found it necessary to pay him by check, Ed Stanford, laborer on the ranch of Jess Correa, well known Echo man, attacked Correa with a knife. He was unable to inflict any damage, but was placed under arrest and held by Justice of Peace Crary to the grand jury, after a bearing. Stanford, who appears to be a man of considerable intelligence but rath er radical tendencies, ran amuck when Correa came into the bunk house to get his name for the pay check. He grabbed Correa and swung him around, attempting to get a chance to hit him. Correa, how ever, came back with a board and Stanford drew a knife. By that time Frank Correa was on the scene and the fight was stopped.
