Vote Mionott Wing Eaiiy Victor'
Over Jones mid President Wilson
Repudiated in Vote Cunt (or Cham
berlain. Senator Hiram W. Johnson of Cal
ifornia was victor in the Oregon pre
ferenlial primary vote last Friday
ud when the votes Lave all been
counted, it ih not likely that the sen
ator will have a lead over Leonard
Wood, hiB nearest opponent, of more
than 2000 votes.
Johnson's lead over Wood In Mult
nomah county put him ull to the
good, so (ur as the final result is
concerned, although the Willamette
valley and several Eastern Oregon
counties gave General Wood the pre
ference by a wide margin. While
the result in Morrow county was ul
(ways uncertain, tbe final count de
veloped the fact that the "I am for
Hiram" sentiment was no little thing.
The vote stood 251 fur Johnson, 25 J
for Wood.
N. J. Slnnott won over the Rev.
Owen F. Jones for the republican
nomination for representative of the
Second District by about two to one.
Sinnott carried Wasco, hiB home
county, by a heavy majority. It had
been freely predicted that he would
lose out to Mr. Jones there, owing to
the stand he had taken on the Plumb
Plan and other railroad measures.
Apparently the railroad vote did not
cut much figure in this instance. In
Morralw county the vote stood Jones,
204, Slnnott, 406.
Senatcfr George E. Chamberlain
has been nominated over Harvey 0.
Starkweather by a two to one vote.
This was another instance where the
president had Instructed purty mem
bers how to vote, and as usual his
instructions helped to elect the other
candidate. Mr. Chamberlain has
proven that he is far stronger in his
state today than is the Wilsonlan
wing of the democratic party. In
Morrciw county the vote stood for
Chamberlain, 108, for Starkweather,
46.
K. N. Stan field had an easy victory
over Albert Abraham of Roseburg
for the republican nomination for
United States senator. Mr. Stanfield
polled the heaviest vote of any can
didate In the election. The Morrow
county vote was Abraham, 168.
Stanfield, 422.
While Rhea Luper is apparently
defeated for the nomination of pub
lic Bervlce commissioner, he undoubt
edly will feel much gratified over the
vote given him in his home county
of Morrow. He beat Mr. Corey here
nearly five to one. The result was
Corey 140, Luper 600.

Schedules Announced for
Grain Grading Meetings
Tuesday, June 8, is the date that
has been set by grain supervisor,
George K. Landers for the grain
grading demonstration in Heppner.
The demonstration will probably be
held in the local farmers' warehouse
In making the announcement, Mr.
Landers asks, "do you know how the
dockage In your wheat is assessed
and Hvhat it in? Do you know test
weight per bushel Is the most impor
tant factor affecting the grade of
your wheat crop? Do you make your
test Iweight per bushel determination
on dockage free wheat?" These are
some of the questions which will be
asked at the demonstration. Whether
or not there is a fixed price establish
ed for grain of the coming crop, the
federal grain grades will continue to
be in force. A demonstration will
be held at lone on Monday, June 21.
Big Memorial Day Parade
Speaking at Pavilion
The committee on arrangements
has found it advisable to announce a
change in the program for the Mem
orial exercises next Saturday. The
band boys, in view of the fact that
many of them are in business houses
and certainly (would be otherwise
greatly inconvenienced, some time
ago asked to be excused from Satur
day afternoon playing. This is cer
tainly reasonable. Heppner Ib proud
to have a band and most people feel
that if the servjces are all held in
the morning there will be less gen
eral inconvenience and will assure
greater opportunity for attendance".
ProKrum for the Day
9:00 Church bells will ring.
9:30 Bund concert at Court house.

tion Receives Recognition.
Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
vallis, May 26. To make the school
of agriculture even a greater feature
In the development of the agricul
tural resources of Oregon is the aim
which Dr. A. B. Cordley has set out
to accomplish. Even now the school
is rated as one of the very best In
the country, having been built up to
ils present standard by Dean Cordley
who twill devote his entire time to
the work of this division of the col
lege. Registration of 888 In the school
is equal to that of the entire student
body in 1906-7. D. J. Crosby, spe
cialist In agriculture said that the
ideal objectives sought by the Amer
ican Association of Agricultural Col
leges had already been attained in
Oregon. Ho made a tour last year
in which he visited the leading col
leges fo the country with a view to
bring about a unification of alma and
methods of instrue'lon for agricul
tural students on a basis that would
approximate the Ideal.
Credit for plans of organization
and selection of personnel that have
produced this excellent showing Is
given Dean Cordley. His liberality,
fairness, kindly sympathy, and en
couragement have done much to de
velop the capabilities of those whom
he has selected for his associates.
Dean Cordley has been relieved of
the experiment station duties so that
he may devote his entire attention to
the further development and exten
sion of the school of agriculture.
Few have aided as much In the de
velopment of ngrlculture on the Pad
flc const and no one has contributed
more to the establishment of horti
culture In Oregon than has Dr. Cord
ley, who has been on the staff of the
Oregon Agricultural Experiment Sta
tion for 25 years, sny his associates.
No small part of the success of Ore
gon's agricultural development has
been due to the inspiration, encour
agement, and Bound advice given by
this outstanding man of science to
his colleagues, his students, and to
his friends, the fnrmers and fruit
growers of the stnte.

"The Way lo he Heart
XTHOMA
THREE ROADS Will
Local autoists are reminded that
there are three roads to Boardman,
all of which are now open and in fair
condition. One is by the way of Lex
ington and Juniper Canyon, down
past past the James Carty ranch.
According to F. R. Brown, who was
over this road tbe first of the (week,
the lower end of the Juniper Canyon
road is quite sandy. Mr. Brown ad
vises autoists to take the Juniper
Cunyon-Wells Springs road by the
way of the Nell Doherty ranch. This
road leads into the old Castle Rock
road, which goes directly to Board
man and is like a boulevard at the
preserfl time. In taking this road,
you go through Lexington, north to
the Base Line road and Into Juniper,
the same as the first route, until you
come to the Ed McDald ranch in Jun
iper, then turn to the left, over the
hill to the Doherty ranch and down
by Wells Springs.
The third route, which is consid
erably longer than the other tJwo, Is
by way of Cecil, north over the hills
onto the Columbia River highway
above Heppner Junction. In any ev
ent, the roads are said to be clearly
defined and there is very little dan
ger of getting off the highway.
Pesent indications point to a large
Heppner representation at the barbe
cue and picnic, which will be held
at the Chas. Dlllabaugh farm, two
miles from Boardman on the project,
this coming Monday.
Truck Pneumatics Do Not Puncture.
One phase of the use of pneumatic
truck tires which has worried the
truck owner to no smr.ll degree Is the
possibility of punctures.
"Regarding punctures," says W. V.
Logan, manager of the pneumatic
truck tiro department of the United
States Tire Company, "our records
show that an owner need not have a
moment's worry about them. I have
records of trucks operated in prac
tically every class of business, show
ing that pneumatic truck tires have
been In service anywhere from one
year to two and one-half years, and
during the entire time have never
been off the rims.
"The rural free delivery division
of the United States Post Office De
partment operates a fleet of trucks
on pneumatics that is probably larger
than any other in the country. They
have had so felw punctures that they
no longer believe. It necessary to car
ry spares.
"As for mileage, I find In our rec
ords reports on set after set of tires
which have rendered better than 20,
000 miles. We have records through
the United States in practically every
class of service of from 10,000 to
50,000 miles, and those of 40,000 to
50,000 were In extremely hard ser
vice. The United States Nobby Cord
rnemnatlc Is especially adapted for
rough or muddy roads where good
traction is essential."

Fire Company Holds An
nual Election of Officers
The Heppner fire department held
annual election ot officers in the
council cbamberr on Tuesday even
ing. S. E. Notson was re-elected
president and voted the 100 per
cent increase in salary, which was the
main plank in his pre-election plat
form. To assist him in collecting
that salary, L. E. Bisbee was unani
mously elected vice president. C.
L. Sweek was chosen for treasurer,
and upon learning of the amount of
money now on hand, f 6.75, it was
moved by Mayor Vaughan that Mr.
Sweek double that amount out of his
own pocket, upon taking up the dut
ies of the office. The motion carried
but never came to a vote. Roy V.
Whiteis will continue to look after
the clerical duties of the office, as he
was retained as secretary of the de
partment. Mike Curran succeeds Ed Huston
as fire chief. Mr. Huston has given
highly satisfactory service as chief
and it Kvas only after his absolute re
fusal to serve for another year that
his successor was chosen. Mr. Cur
ran needs no introduction as fire
chief, as his past performances in
that capacity are too well known.
He will put new pep Into the depart
ment and hereafter will call the boys
out to drill twice each month on
Wednesdays. The boys will be per
mitted to test out the fire siren on
practice days, so hereafter the siren

Baccalaureate Sermon for
Seniors Sunday Evening
The Baccalaureate services for the
graduating class of 1920, Heppner
high school, were held at the First
Christian church last Sunday evening,
and were attended by a large number
of people. Flowers were used In pro
fusion in decorating the church. The
members of the class marched In and
took their seats up in front, with their
parents in the seats immediately back
of them. Special music was furnish
ed by a mixed chorus and Mrs. Ches
ter Darbee as soloist. The baccalaur
eate semon was delivered in a most
able and pleasing manner by Mrs.
Cassie D. Livingstone, outlined brief
ly as follows:
Text: I press toward the mark.
Phil. 3:14.
That which must envelope our
thr.ught and the matter of greatest
interest is the question of our mark.
Our lives do not remain stationary,
we are always pressing toward some
mark, the choice Is not ours, we are
children of tendency, the decision of
our goal is left to our own personal
being.
Efficiency is the call of the hour.
Today iwe bemoan the fact that our
institutions are so poorly equipped
with men and women.
In our factories, our electric
plants, our mills, If our machinery Is
not adequate we see the work to be
done shall have the best machinery
and the best equipment; and the Jobs
of our schools should not be handed
over to small and inadequate leaders.
If the call of the hour, then, is
efficiency, then that essential Is need
ed nowhere more than In our public
schools.
The children of today are the men
and women of tomorroiw, so our
plans and considerations must be for
the future so that our children shall
be prepared to meet the need of the
coming hour. The call of today Is
for leaders but the call of tomorrow
will be greater for leaders, and unless
we give more thought and more pre
paration to education and bring out
more clearly the principles of our
land, tbe future will hold, for us,
more restlessness, more dissatisfac
tion than Iwe, experience today.
Religion and education have al
ways been companions; the one has
always been the prop for the other.
Parents and children have realized
that attending school has meant a
position and a salary with a future,
and where communities have stressed
this they do not lack for capable
workers and their citizens stand firm
for our Democracy.
Business is getting ready for a neJw
day. Education is putting on a new
program, and the world is astonished
at the foundation that is being laid:
That the principles of Jesus Christ
must be placed in the lives of men
and women and as they go out they
must incorporate those teachings in
their dealings one with the other.
There was never such opportuni
ties for our youth as today gives
them as our statesmen, poets, art
ists, business, educational and relig
ious leaders step aside their places
must be filled Iwith men and women
better equipped and with a larger
vision.
The vision of America as it (was
born in .the heart of men was that
they should be free and the govern
merit should be the will of the major
ity. The church and the school have
always fostered these great ideals
and now the school calls for teachers
who believe In Almighty God and In
our Democracy.
My prayer for the class of 1920 is
that as they "press toward the
mark" they shall Iwear the badge of
service.
McCamant Announces He
Will Not Vote For Johnson
Judge Wallace McCamant of Port
land, elected as one of the delogutes
from the state at large to the Chicago
natiopal convention, will not cast his
vote at Chicago for Johnson, who
won the presidential endorsement at
the primaries last Friday. Mr. Mc
Camant says he will vote for Wood
and contends that because he filed as
candidate for delegate by the petition
route, he was required to take no
pledge to support the voters' choice,
therefore is a free agent.

ident, will speak In Happy Canyon,

Kansas Editor Sends Intro
duction to Heppner People
The following letter, Iwhicb Is self
explanatory, was received this week
by the Gazette-Times from Willis
Hoch, editor and. manager ot the
Marlon (Kan.) Record:
May 18, 1920.
Editor GazetteTimes,
Heppner, Oregon.
My Dear Sir:
Will you permit an old Kansas
editor to introduce to your local
readers some new acquisitions to
Heppner'g-cltzenshlp? I refer to Mr.
and Mrs. W. O. Livingstone. Mr.
Livingstone has been pastor of the
Christian church in Marion tor a
number of years, and having person
ally known aU ot Its pastors for forty
years, I can say the church has never
had a better one. He la an able
preacher, an enterprising, up-to-date
citizen, and a most delightful gentle
man. He has been a leader In ever
good work here. He Iwas an officer
in our local military company, and
his eloquent voice was often heard
in patriotic addresses. He was chair
man ot the Chautauqua Association,
president of our Religious Brother
hood, composed ot men from all the
churches and many of tbe non-church
members, and active in all other
town enterprises. A fifty thousand
dollar church, the largest in the
county, now nearing completion, la
a monument to his church building
ability. His wife is a real helper to
him, and hvhen necessity required it,
could and did, some people thought,
fill his pulpit as well if not better
than he did. They are wholesome
people, and Heppner folks can tie to
them.
Very cordially and fraternally,
E. W. HOCH.
Mr. Livingstone is expected to ar
rive in Heppner on Saturday, June
5, according to a telegram received
here by Mrs. Livingstone on Tuesday.
Daughters Visit Here.
The Misses Lola and Lois O'Neill,
twin daughters of Mr. Jack O'Neill,
head meat cutter at the Central Mar
ket, visited in Heppner during the
past week, and while here were
guests of Miss Evlyn Vennes at the
home of Rev. Father Cantwell. The
Misses O'Neill are nurses In St. Vin
cent's Hospital, and returned to their
Portland home on Monday morning.
RE-ACTION AND WASTE
CAUSEE ECONOMIC EVIL
Libety Bonds Were To Be Saved, Not
To Be Used as Spending Money,
Says Assistant Secretary of Treas
ury. NeJw York A terrific arraignment
of the reaction and waste which have
seized on the, American people as a
cause for the present economic evils
now threatening the nation was made
recently by R. C. Leffingwell, Assis
tant Secretary of the Treasury, In an
address before the Academy of Polit
ical Science at New York. Liberty
Bonds and Victory Notes, he saiu,
iwe re never meant to be used as
spending money and their misuse in
that way is the primary reason for
the fall in price of those securities.
"Since Armistice Day," he contin
ued, "the world has not only tailed
to make progress toward the restora
tion of healthy economic life but In
fact has receded further from a
sound position. We have failed to
restore peace and peace conditions
in Europe and in America, unsound
economic ideas have in many instan
ces prevailed, and the effort is being
made first here and then there to im
prove the condition of some of the
people at the expense of all the peo
ple. "At this most critical moment In
the history ot Europe, when our own
financial and economic stake In Eu
rope's affairs is so great that disaster
there could only mean disaster here,
many of our own people have turned
gamblers and twasters. For plain liv
ing and high thinking we have sub
stituted wasting and bickering. We
enjoy high living while we grumble
at the high cost of living of silk
stockings and shirts for the poor, of
automobiles for men of small means,
of palaces for the profiteer and the
plutocrat."
Regarding the depreciation in the
market price of Liberty Bonds and
Victory Bonds, Mr. Leffingwell said:
"In the history of finance, no device
was ever evolved so effective for pro
curing saving as the Liberty Loan
campaigns. A year ago, it Iwas freely
predicted by financial authorities that
Victory Notes would shortly go to a
premium and that Liberty Bonds
would be selling at or near par with
in a year or two.
"Every one knows why these san
guine expectations have not been re
alized. With the armistice, and still
more after the Victory Loan, our peo
ple underwent a great reaction.
Those who had obeyed the Injunction
to borrow and buy Liberty Bonds Ig
nored the complementary injunction
to save and pay for them. A $50
bond in the hands ot a patriot turned
spendthrift was to him a $50 bill to
be spent Saturday night o to her a
new hat, and If the $50 turned out

Votes Destroyed at An tone.
Fossil In Rock Creek precinct'
with about ten votes, the tally sheets
and books were burned, leaving no
record. The polling place iwas in a
grocery store at Antone, and after
the ballot was counted the judges
and clerks left the ballots, tally
sheets and poll book on the table
without posting an abstract ot the
vote on the outside ot the building,
as required. When the owner of the
store opened the building the next
morning, thinking that the paper on
the table were left-over matters, he
burned them up, leaving no record
of the precinct vote.
