Frail Girl Decoys International Plotters "The Message of the Mouse," by Mr. and Mrs. George Randolph Chester, with Anita Stewart as the star, which will he shown at Ihe Slar theater on Wednesday ami Thursday, June II and . Is a startling revealment of the splen did work of the United States Secret Service is doing In running down those who would work against the country's welfare, Ilnlla,n Varrle. the master mind of a Bubtle plot that sought this country's undoing through tho merch ant marine, had established a spy sys tem whose tentacles reached Into the soul of our government. Hut between his love of a patriotic Amrlcan girl and tho watchfulness of the secret service, his plnnB went awry. The girl, on the olhor hand, not only fought against his unasked love, but put her frail form between him nnd tho wrong he would hnve done her country. "Tho Message of tho Mouse" Is a dram atic romnnce of International intrigue presenting Anita Stewart In tho lead ing role. la Former Years. We are perhaps going through times of stress in Morrow county at the pre sent, hut then there have been other times whon things wero not so rosy, For Instance, ninny may remember that back in the 'sd's there was a period of time when business, depression exist ed and prices were low and there was little sale for what the stockman and farmer produced at any price. We picked up an old Heppner Gnuette, or rather the copy was handed us by one of our friends who had picked It tip, tho Issue being of June 111, 1895, and hero are some of the things we noted: Tho schonl hoard met In special ses sion for the purpose of hiring a prin cipal of the school nnd his asatai ants. The principal was chosen and his salary fixed at 100 per month. He was given three assistants and these each received $50 per month. Among tho assistant teachers chosen at this time wero Addlo Jones and Addle Con lee. The Janitor of the school build ing had been receiving the magnificent salnry of $25 per month, and this was reduced to $20. The market quotations on wheat at Heppner at that time ranged from 8(1 to 40 cents', flour wns selling at $2.40 per barrel; mutton sheep going at $1.60 to $1.7li per head while stock Bheop were bringing only $1 to $1.50; wool was B to 8 cents and beeves were Bell ing from $2 25 to $2.50; butter, per roll, 25 and 40 cents and eggs 8 cents a doxen.

Mr. Henrlksen la one of the big stockmen of Morrow county, owning a large alfalfa farm at O'cil and vnlunble hay and range land in the mountains south of Heppner. This was his llrst visit to the Wallowa country nnd he was greatly surprised to find such a well developed section. From such advertising as he had seen of the county, Mr. Henrlksen said he had gained the Impression thnt Wal lowa was the town of the valley and Enterprise was a wide mark In the road, nnd he was pleasantly surprised to find here a progressive little city with handsome public buildings and paved streets. He praised the scenery and the nice farm homes, but was a lit tle disappointed In the alfnlfa fields. Around Cecil they speak of alfalfa In capital letters. While the alfalfa crop here Is Just getting nicely started, the mowing machines are busy cutting the first crop at Cecil nnd before snow files again probably three or four more cut- i tings will be made.

Hart retired from the management of Hotel Patrick, which position he has filled since the hotel opened for business the first of January. Roy F. Van Slyke, of Port land, a man who has had experience ln the hotel business, succeeds Mr. Hart, he having arrived here with his wife on Friday last. Owing to his wide ac quaintance with the people of Heppner and the travelling public, Mr. Hart has been a popular manager of the hotel and his large number of friends here will regret to learn that he has severed his connections with the hotel. He has not yet decided Just where he will lo cate but expects to remain at Heppner for a time and take a needed rest E. Benefiel of Irrlgon was a visitor n Heppner Wednesday, in the early history of Morrow county Mr. Benefiel was located on a farm out northeast of Lexington, his place being a portion of the W. F. Barnctt farm at the pre sent time. He retired from farming here a good many years ago. For the past few years he has been contracting on the state highways and was here yesterday to seo obout getting a sub contract from Messrs. Oxman and Har rington. E. J. Merrill, who runs one of the best farms In the vicinity of Hardman, was In Heppner for a couple of days this week on business. Ed says that there was some pretty nippy weather out his way a couple of nights last week ond some of the early vegetables were made to suffer. The frost also had turned some of the grain fields a little brown on the road In from Hard- man but Mr. Merrill thinks no very serious damage was done. UMATILLA FOREST NEWS Two camps of four to six men each have been established on the Five Mil fence construction project and the j work is being rigorously pushed. It i now appears that the whole fifteen miles will be completed In time to be , of service this season. ! Charles McDevltt and Charles Ely are preparing to build about three ' miles of fence alone; the forest boun jdary In the Hall canyon region. Yhls will serve as a connecting link be tween the Five Mile fence and other 'private fence and will almost complete ly enclose the Five Mile cattle range on ' the north. This fence, like the Five ' Mile, has been proposed for a couple of years but owing to scarcity of help and high costs actual construction has t' n delayed till no. Copious warm rains lasting nearly two weeks have covered the entire wes tern division of the forest The snow was reduced rapidly and others state ' that they never knew the roads and ' trails to be more boggy. At both con struction camps on the Five Mile fence complaint was made of the difficulty en ' countered In moving supplies and fence ' material. Wagons were displaced by pack animals but trouble was still ex perienced. All the creeks are carrying good sized streams of water but In this region, owing to the fact that all of the Gurdane district Is densely timbered, there are no floods, nor erosion. All of the streams are clear. Archie McCampbell, government hunt er, has established headquarters In 'he Gurdane district where he Is learnlnr the country, putting out traps and pre paring for an active season. Mr. Mc Campbell Is quite a successful hunter and trapper and we are glad to wel come him. For the month of April he ranked second highest In number of cats and coyotes taken In the biology survey district embracing Oregon and Washington. The range In the lower altitudes is reported to be the best In years. Re ports from the North Fork of the John Day are especially good. In the higher elevations the season is late but the prospects are excellent Bob Cullck. cattle man of Lena, brought a wagon load of salt to the Five Mile range To dodge the soft viiund he attempted to return home by way of Arbuckle but found the road to be blocked with snow. He returned home by way of Ellis ranger station and Matlock hill. A person visiting the construction camps on the Five Mile fence project would get the Impression that wlmpua, booglehugs and sidehill gougers were to be seen and heard In the pole Jun- ! gles and around the swampy meadows i In the vicinities of Matlock prairies and Squaw Flat They are reported to be come much more aggressive as evening approaches. During and Immediately after heavy rains while the ground Is soft and miry the boogle-hugs hunt with great persistency In hopes of And ing a victim mud-bound. The sidehill gougers are supplied with three short legs and three long legs which adopts them to sidehill locomotion. A man pursued by a sidehill gouger should make a dash for level ground. But In his haste he must remember to steer clear of mud holes where he might bog U7. n and fail a victim to the urusliln embrace of a boogle-hug. At all times he should keep a sharp "weather eye' lest he should be Impaled upon a long barbed, spear-like tail and be borne away by a swift-winged wtmpus of the air.

An opportunity to get farm help from the list of disabled ex-service men Is now open to the Oregon farmer. The men are being educated by the gov ernment and are required to take farm experience In practical farm work along the lines of their specialties horticulture, farm crops, dairy, animal and poultry husbandry, and general farming. Since wages are paid by the government the farmers getting the men have to provide only board and room, together with the opporunlty tb get real training in their specialties. Some farmers find it profitable to pay a bonus for high quality work. Far mers wanting this help may write o J. Ivan Stewart supervising officer of the federal board at Corvallls. C. Melville, farmer of the north Sand Hollow section, was doing business In Heppner today. He reports a fine out- lookf or the crops In his part of the country.

The largest gathering of citisens that ever came together ln the city for that purpose Joined with the Grand Army of the Re public and the Womens Relief Corps, and at 9:00 a. m. a parade was form ed at the fair grounds which reached past several blocks. This was headed by the few remaining Grand Army vet erans In autoa and escorted by sol diers and sailors of the world war, members of the American Legion, and followed by the members of the Relief Corps, also ln autoa Some 300 school children, each bearing a flag, was a striking feature In the parade, and then there was a fine showing by the frat ernal orders of the Knights of Pythias,' Pythian Sisters. Odd Fellows and Elks. The procession marched to the ceme tery, where the beautiful memorial ser vice of the Womens Relief Corps was held about the monument erected and dedicated by that order to the unknown dead of past wars. The Pythian Sisters also held an Im pressive decoration service about the grave of one of their departed, and the members of the Knights of Pythias also held their beautiful memorial service which was quite Impressively deliver ed. It Is worthy of note that there was an almost universal decoration of the graves at the cemetery, all grave of soldiers, and members of the orders of Elks, L O. O. F. and Knights of Pythias being specially marked and flowers laid thereon. Returning to the fair pavilion the further program of the day was car ried out The main feature of this was the address of Hon.J. D. Stevens of "Portland. The speaker, a Grand Army Veteran, held the audience ln close at tention for an hour and delivered an oration highly patriotic and Instruct ive. The strong plea was made for the proper observance of Memorial Day, the speaker urging that this be a day sacred and apart from Ine usual avoca tions and pleasures and one that is held sacred by all regardless of creed or pol itics, that the nation's dead may he properly honored. In fact, the speak er stated, a movement la now under way to have all sports on that day pro hibited by legislative enactment He was gratified to note the splendid In terest taken In the day by Heppner1 citisens and hoped to see this Interest grow. The Boy Scouts were presented with a beautiful flag, the gift to them by the ladles of the Womens Relief Corps, Mrs. D. E. Gilman making the presen tation address which was beautiful and impressive. This was responded to by W. O. Livingstone, scout master, and It la sure the gift is greatly appreciated by the Boy Scouts. The program was arranged and the day's exercises were under the super vision of the Womens Relief Corps, and their president expressed their sincere appreciation of the splendid manner in which all responded. All business houses of the city closed for the day, and there was a general and genuine spirit of honor to our departed dead prevailing. Many Things Happen in Movies Not in Script In the fight between Roy Stewart as Bob Burton and Harry Van Meter the villain, newest drama of Western life, "The Lone Hand" at the Star theater Monday and Tuesday, June and 7. "The Lone Hand" star unintentionally scored a real knock-out The two men had been fighting In a lonely desert cabin when the villain launched a final thrust Stewart wait ed and an uppercut, swung from the hip, caught the villain flush in the face. Down he went blood spurting from his nose, and although this was not in the script the director was thoroughly sat isfied. In fact all were contented, with the exception of Van Meter. Vaiatllla Cooaty Hanks Approve Oregaa Grata Growere Plan When the National Grain Growers committee was In the west U. U Bur dick, a member of the committee, visit ed Pendleton, talked the matter over with a number of banks and two of the banks issued letters stating that they could conceive In no way In which the Oregon Grain drawers contract could affect a farmers relation with the bankers. These letters have been re ported at various meetings. A careful canvass of the situation has failed to reveal that any Umatilla banker has ln any way opposed the Oregon Grain Grower. Many of them state that It Is a first class thing and will really im prove the farmer's credit with their Institution. Oregon Wool (iruwera Offer tu Advaaee Moaey A letter from the management of the Oregon Wool Growers state thnt they are prepared to advance to their mem bers as much as a dollar per fleece on an average quality of wool. The organ isation is practically on top and Is making satisfactory progress.
