Salem. Ore., July 13. 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. White officiating,
of the senate. j The lovely wedding gown of the

"The democratic piutform affirms 'Tlle bride's maid was attired in a

"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. "This reaction especially has
been noticeable In Industries eng..-

the people of the United States is
the car shortage. 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.

Just'about this time 0' the year and the bunch would call' for
you and you'd beg off weedln' the onions and promise ma that you'd
do them in the morning and finally she'd say, "Well, all right, young
man, you can go this time, but If dad iwants to know where you were:
this afternoon, and why the garden wasn't weeded, you can do the
explaining."
Oh boy .then down the road and through thepasture (and you'd
rip your shirt crawlin' unde the fence) and then the bunch would
stop and pull off some of Ad Mercer's corn-silk and you'd all light up
one o' the home-made cigs and Skinny Stearns or Fat Temple woulj
get a little dizzy and make all sorts of excuses about why they were
n't feeling good. Eh! member?
Then pretty soon the grand old creek would loom up in sight
like an oasis in a desert, and you'd all start peelin' off on the way
down till there wasn't an awful lot left on, and then mebbe Bob Reed
or I'oc janes would start out like a greyhound with a bundle 0'
clothes under bis twing, and talk about your cross-country races
noi.e of them had anything on that one, eh! And Fat would usually
trip on Komeihing or run a thistle in his toe. But he'd always come
up smiling. And then SPLASH! SPLASH! like so many frogs you'd
all tumble In and come up spittln' water all over like young whaes.
And Fat would always hold his bose and jump in 'cause he couldn't

Vakinia,
Reports from Yakima state that a
cloudburst hit in that section last
Monday about 6 o'clock, and that a
great amount of damage was done.
Northern Pacific tracks between
Nass Siding and Granger were wash
ed out by the overflow from the can
al, Iwhich is described by Henry Mo
reno, editor of the Zillah Mirror, as
being twenty feet wide and from five
to ten feet deep.
In the Palouse district, where the
cloudburst was accompanied by a
heavy wind, grain was damaged to
the extent of hundreds of thousands
of dollars. Pullman, Winona. Wa
waiwai, Union Flats and many other
town in Washington reported the loss
of farm houses and other buildings.
Damage at the Washington State Col
lege farm at Pullman is estimated at
$50,000.

again be established.
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?

"Keep Work at Home" Is
Slogan of Local Garage Man
"Keep the work at home" is the
slogan of Ira W. 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.

STILL If BIG CAPACITY
L(
Several Hundred Gallons of Booze
Xipped in the Making When Ben
Moore and Chester Baling Are Ap
prehended by Sheriff and Deputies.
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
