In planning the $87,000,000 good
roads system for Illinois Governor
Frank O. Lowden has insisted on
measures to make travel sufo. The
plans for 1,000 miles of hard roads
which are to bo constructed this year
provide for the elimination of more
than forty railroad grade crossings,
the chief element of danger. Via
ducts and subways will be built to ne
gotiate theBo crossings. Following
this program of "surety Ural" the Ill
inois highway authorities expect to
have the safest system ot roads of
any state In the union. The good
roads program was put through by
Governor Lowden. More than 200
miles were built last year, and when
the full sum available through auto
mobile taxes and federal aid 1ms been
expended, 4,800 miles of hard sur
faced highways will have been added
to the state's thoroughfares.

SCREEN VERSION OF CURWQQQ(S
GREAT NORTH STORY HERE SATURDAY
I'mler Title or "Buck to God's Coun
try" Fiunous Magazine Work Will
lie Hliown at the Star.
lierulded by exceptional tributes
from Eastern critics, who declare It
to be a most novel photoplay, "Back
to God's Country," adapted from
James Oliver Curwood's celebrated
magazine story, "Wapi, the Walrus,"
will play at the Star theater, Satur
day, Feb. 28.
probably no person alive has the
knack of writing on the psychology
ot the relationship between animal
and man that characterizes the lit
erary work ot Curwood. And in his
picture, which was supervised by
himself in the Arctic regions in a
temperature of 62 degrees below zero,
a faithful attention to detail has
made this photoplay far more vivid
than his story.
"Back to God's Country" Is based
essenllully upon the theme that kind
ness to animals results in reflecting
and generating that kindness to tbe
giver whereas, cruelty and torture
serve to Incite an animal to fiendish
savagery. Curwood writes his story
about Wapl, the killer, a great Dane
upon whom no man or beast baa ever
lavished a kind word or act. Another
thread of the story leads to Nell
Shlpumn as Delors LeBeau, a girl
living with her father in the wilds of
Canada and whom all the animals
near her home have learned to love.
When Fate takes Delores and a
helpless husband into the Arctic re
gions, she is brought Into touch with
Hie dog, who has received the name
ut "the killer" from the Eskimos
and traders whom he has frightened
through his flendiBhness. Dolores'
kindness wins his friendship.
How Wapi saves the lives of Dolo
res and her husband, who are fleeing
across the barren lands In a sleigh,
is one of the most unusual scenes
ever shown on the Star theater's
screen.
Miss Katie Minert, well Known lo
cal young woman, announces that she
will be a candidate before the Repub
lican primaries for the nomination to

only uftor the earnest solicitation of
her many friends, that Miss Minert
decided to enter the contest. She is
u highly elllciunt bookkeeper and well
qualified to perform the duties ot tbe
olllce. Miss Minert is stenographer
and bookkeeper in the Roy V. Whi
teis real estate olllce, has spent the
larger part of her life in this city and
her friends are a legion. She Is a
niece of Mr. and Mrs. John B. Natter,
pioneer residents of Heppner.
T. J. Humphreys, the present treas
urer, has Btated that he will not be
a candidate for re-election and It Is
understood that he is lending his sup
port to Miss Minert.

uiun prince, the average Belgian wo
man may be pardoned it she pro
tests. But when Celeste, countess of

NEW STORE HOI
OPENS
Til FLIDLIC
Pioneer Hardware Firm of Gilliam ft
ltisbee Now Settled In Their Fire
lroof Structure At Corner of Main
And May Streets.
- . After several day&-suvk.g, the
pioneer firm of Gilliam & Bisbee, lo
cal hardware and implement dealers,
opened their brand new doors to the
public this week and have extended
a cordial Invitation to everybody to
come in and "look over" their new
home. It is conceded by many to be
the finest hardware store building in
the state outside ot Portland and was
built by the firm at a cost of nearly
$50,000.
The outward appearance of the
structure, with Its red and white
pressed brick and the substantial con
crete pillars, is well sustained from
within by the neatly plastered walls
and excellent taste in the finishing of
all the wood work. All of the fix
tures, counters and show cases, to
gether with a large stock, are new.
The full basement virtually gives the
firm three full stories. The basement
will be used for storage purposes, the
ground floor for sales room and offi
ces while the top story will be given
over to the display of wagons and
farm machinery.
The entire building is arranged for
the greater convenience In the handl
ing of goods. A large doorway In the
rear permits a loaded truck to drive
right into the building, where the
load is transferred to the elevator and
then taken upstairs or down, as may
be chosen. Another feature is a large
concrete addition to the main build
ing which will be devoted exclusively
to the plumbing department.
There are few towns anywhere the
size of Heppner that can boast of a
finer store building. It stands as a
monument to the business integrity
of the firm which brought it to reali
zationand Is suggestive of their be
lief in the future of Heppner and the
large trading area round about.
