Ttmt thi political platforms of the republi can and democratic parties place the league of nations covenant Bquarely before the voters in tbe presidential campaign was the assertion made here today by Senator McNary, who arrived here lute last night from Washington. "The republican party has declared against the treaty as submitted by President Wilson," said Mr. McKary, "and advocates an agreement among the nations to preserve the peace of the (world In the manner accomplish ed by the senate reservations,. The democratic party urges the treaty and the league substantially as con ceived by the president and adopted by the peace conference at Versailles. League Principle Upheld. "The republican party denounces the sovenunt In the form It was pre sented by the president to the senate, though that party acclaims the prin ciple of the league, or preferably some institution judicial in charac ter, calculated to assure the peace of the world. The declaration in the platform, covering the Important sub ject of our foreign relations, does not suggest that the covenant of the lea gue could not be altered by reserva tions so that'it would embrace the essential principles contained in the covenant without the compromise of nutional independence. "I cannot read Into the platform the thought tliat the treaty agreed upon at Versailles must be totally re jected and a new treaty negotiated. Such a construction, In my opinion, would b unfortunate and would be giving plain language a shameful misconstruction, The principles an nounced in the platform can find (welcome repose In the treaty as mod ified and clarified by the reservations engraved upon the treaty by a vote of a large majority of the members (lowers, Hev.

"In recent months there has been a noticeable reaction in the indus tries throughout the east." continued Senator McNurv, when asked for his opinion on the price-soaring ji na- tlon.

The present short age of carriers, as I see it, is due primarily to the recent switchmen's strike, lack of equipment and unfair distribution. Railroad heads have promised to remedy the situation at the earliest possible moment, how to membership on the shipping board. "To that end I gave my efforts be fore leaving Washington," said Sen ator McNary, "as did other members of the Oregon delegation. Two men iwell fitted for the position have been suggested and I hope that they ulti mately will be selected. It is my opinion tbat the merchant marine, if wisely handled, will do more than any other one agency to develop the Co lumbia river district." Senator McNary declared that be was personally acquainted with Sena tor Harding, the republican nominee for president, and considered him a man well qualified to assume the leadership of the party with (which he Is affiliated. "He is a conscien tious worker, a person of deliberate jurgment and his candidacy has met with popular response In all sections of the east." " 8Uite May Be Toured. "Governor Cox, the democratic nominee, also is well spoken of by those who know him best," continu ed Senator McNary, "but It is my be lief that he will have to come up squarely and Inform the voters Iwhere he stands on the liquor question and leugue of nations. These are two of the great Issues in the present cam paign." Although having made no definite plans regarding the part he will play in the presidential campaign, Sena tor McNary let It be known today that he had been approached by re publican leaders and that he would be found willing and ready to do everything possible In carrying Ore gon for Harding and Coolldge.

Shutt this week closed a deal in which a Mrs. Salisbury and her son, of the Palouse country, have purchased the Alfred Kcrber half section of land, North of Lexington, at a consideration of (22,400, or at the rate of $70 un acre, being the highest price paid for MorrcJw county soil up to this time. This includes suinmorfallowing of the entire place. In the same deal the Sallsburys pur chased the adjoining 240 acres of Ed Burchell at $50 per acre, Includ ing a portion of the present crop of whent. This makes 560 acres of as good land as there is In the county, and the Washington people, who come from high-priced land, are very proud of their new Investment.

THE FIRE COMPANY What can be done to put more life into the fire company? We have a few members who are twilling to'take some time to drill, but we need more. We need more of the young, athletic fellows. We may think that we can successfully fight fire without prac tice, but our experience in the nqt remote past does not support that view. We need practice ln order to be familiar with the apparatus, to keep the apparatus in working or der, to be acquainted with the' loca tion ofthe lire plugs, to be expert in laying a line of hose and getting the water on the right spot in the shortest possible time. One minute's time may decide whether we twin or lose a fire. Would It not be a good plan to have a meeting of the citi zens and firemen with a view of stir ring interest in the matter? The Mayor and Council are willing to do anything in their power to help this matter, but they do not have the power to draft firemen. And, besides this is a matter which concerns every body. Some evening In the near fu ture, a school will be held to in struct the ladies in the use of the small hand fire extinguishers which many have in their homes. Due an nouncement will be made, and It Is hoped that the ladies will be preseni in large numbers. If we do not suc ceed In enrolling a larger number of young men in the fire company, we may find It necessary to drill the la dies and the older men In handling the truck. Citizens, what shall iwe do about this? S, E. NOTSON, President, Hose Team No. 1, HORN' To Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Bookman ln this city on Wednesday, July 14, a nine pound daughter.

Thornton of the Heppner Garage Machine Shop, and putting that slogan into effect Mr. Thornton this week received a new Marvel cylinder boring machine. This machine hag a capacity of from three to eight Inches and will accomodate any make or design of motor. With this latest addition to his shop, Mr. Thornton increases greatly the effi ciency of his equipment and greatly enlarges the scope ef his business, as all re-boring work has heretofore gone out of town, mostly to Portland. While the netw machine has cost con siderable money, Mr. Thornton be lieves the public will appreciate his efforts to give quick and efficient ser vice and that the machine will prove a paying investment. Gravity Water By Middle of August or September 1st Heppner will be using water from the new $100,000 gravity water sys tem by the middle of August or the first of September, according to Con tractor Geist, who announces that the ditch work is practically complete. The date of opening the new line will depend upon the rapidity with which the concrete pipe is laid. Engineer Hickey is of the opinion that tie line. will be ready for testing by the 15th of August. Band Concerts Growing Popular With Public The Friday evening band concerts under the direction of Professor James Austin at the Fair grounds are proving popular with the Hepf ner public and each succeeding iweek finds more and more people attend ing them. While the band in the beginning was made up for the most part, of raw material, through continual prac tice and drilling, the boys are now playing acceptable music and much credit is due to Professor Austin. Lights were recently installed over the band stand and plans are under way for moving the stand out into the center ot the grounds and seats will be provided for the audience. Coming as a complete surprise to C. E. Woodson, prominent attorney of this city and member of the state legislature, was the announcement that Governor Olcott had appointed him a member of the board of re gents of the University of Oregon, succeeding Judge Robert Bean of Portland, resigned. Judge Bean had been a member of the board since 1882, and had witnessed the growth of the univer sity through, many trying periods. Mr. Woodson is a graduate of the University and has ever been one of its staunch backers. He is the sec ond member of the board from east ern Oregon.

Six hundred gallons of mash ready for the first run through one ot the most elaborate stills yet taken by lo cal authorities, was what Sheriff George iUDuflee and deputies Tom Chidsey and George Bleakman found in the extreme southwest corner ot Morrow county early on Wednesday morning ol this week. The still was situated close to the Wheeler county line. Tne officers had been on the trail ul this particular moonshine plant since February, but Us operators had moved turn lime to time. Having finally located the still. Sheriff Ale-' uuuee and his men bided their time and on Wednesday morning, shortly after day-break, walked up to the tent about three hundred yards from the scene ot operations and there tound Ben Moore, Chester Saling and Emmett Moore asleep. The men were awakened and Saling and Ben Moore were brought to town. The still was completely dismantled by the officers and the copper coils were brought to Heppner. The still was steam operated, the steam being generated from a large boiler weighing about 400 pounds. The time for hearing has not at this time been set, and in the mean time Saling is out under bonds while Moore is a guest ot the count in the stone bastile. Emmett Moore, while found in the company ot the alleged moonshiners, has not been arrested, as nothing has yet developed to in dicate that he had any connection with the lay-out'. Sheriff McDuffee !was within a few feet of the plant at one time and watched the men at their work. They offered no resis tance when taken by the officers. Mrs. Giesie and children left this morning for their home in Vancou ver after visiting with relatives at Hardman. They Mere accompanied home by Mrs. Mitt Leathers. .Miss Butler Entertained at Tea, Miss Eulalia Butler entertained at tea on Tuesday afternoon at the But ler home in honor of Miss Alta Ly don ot Tacoma, who is visiting here.
