County Agent Calkins was the pro
moter of this hunt, and he is great
ly pleased over the fine results ob
tained. There were some very ex
cellent scores made, and no doubt
many a rabbit was shot down and
his ears overlooked in the excitement
of the hunt; while on the other hand,
some of the bunnies were evidently j
turned loose to be shot again after
their ears had been shorn, according,
to statements made by several shoot'
ers who picked up specimens of this
character and of course had nothing
to show for the work they had done.

M. E. Doble of Irrigon, was here
on Saturday to take the examination
for postal clerks, held at the court
house by Miss Virginia Barlow, local
secretary for the civil service. Mr.
Doble has been engaged in farming
for a number of years on the Irrigon
project. He sold his holdings there
a short time ago to Oscar Otto and
he contemplates coming to Heppner
to locate.
C. J. Johns and wife of Portland
were registered at Hotel Patrick for
a couple of days this week. Mr.
Johns is representing the Albers
Milling Co., of Portland, and was
here disposing of corn for feeding
purposes to a number of sheepmen.
Formerly Mr. Johns engaged in the
mercantile business at Baker and he
is quite well acquainted with most
of our sheep and stock producers,
tainment consisting of vocal and
piano numbers in addition to the bell
ringing, and an interpretation of a
scene from Shakespeare's Merchant
of Venice. The bells used were the
regulation Swiss hand bells, and the
melodies and tones produced in
number of selections were beautiful,
and undoubtedly a great treat to the
local audience. The unanimous ver
dict seemed to be that the program
was "too short," which fact in itstelf
speaks for the quality of the enter
tainment.

Good Rabbit Drive Is Held In
North Sand Hollow Tuesday
Some sixty residents of the north
Sand Hollow section came together
on Tuesday at the John Kilkenny
home and after being organized by
County Agent Calkins and his as
sistant, R. J. Jackson, proceeded to
make a raid on the hosts of black tail
rabbits that infest that section of the
county.
Mr. Calkins reports to this paper
that over 2000 of the pests were slain
that they were able to account for,
and perhaps several hundred more
that did not get into the count.
Another drive for the same section
will be on for Saturday, and Mr. Cal
kins is urging all that can take part
from Heppner will join in with the
people out that way and help to rid
the section of the rabbits. The meet
ing will be at the Kilkenny house,
just north of the Alpine schoolhouse,
and a fine day's sport is promised.
There is about four inches of snow
ail ovtr the ground down there and
the conditions for slaying the pests
are ideal.

Willow Creek Still." All this was
the handiwork of Mr. Thompson, and
every detail of decoration and enter

Moral standards, educational stan

sense of obligation to God and men,
of necessity, need to be frequently
revived. A revival of religion is a
wonderful help to all these. We have

national evangelists, who will begin
revival services here Sunday next.
Air. Harman will do the preaching,
beginning with the morning service,
and Prof. Gates will lead the singing.
Both of these men are experts in
