Star Rout for Handling Firat Claaa
Mall and Newspapers From Arling
ton to Heppner, Meets With Favor
Here Outlook Favorable.
Through th effort! of County Ag
ent C. C. Calkins, who, on tht firat
of October, took up with Representa
tive Sinnott the proposition to ea
tabliih a new atar route between Ar
lington and Heppner and over the
Willow creek highway, haa been tue
eeaeful, in a measure, in getting the
attention of the poatofflce depart
ment, and the natter haa been favor
ably received at Washington.
Mr. Sinnott did not fail to act
promptly in getting th matter be
fore the department, and he haa fur
nished Mr. Calkina with the reply of
the fourth assistant postmaster gen
eral, Mr. H. H. Billany, in which that
official atates:
"Reference la mad to your letter
of th 10th Inst., transmitting ft com
munication from Mr. C. C. Calkina,
County Agent, of Heppner, Oregon,
wherein he urge th establishment
of a atar route between Arlington and
Heppner, Oregon.
"In reply, I beg to inform you that
after a very careful consideration of
all the facta in th cast then aeema
to be some merit in the auggeatlon
of Mr. Calkina, provided, of course,
the cost of maintaining service on
the proposed rout would be com
mensurate with the benefits to be
derived.
"It would appear, however, road
conditions being equal, that the
rout should start from Willows in
stead of Arlington aa all trains ex
change mail at the first-named point.
"The several postmasters have been
called upon to furnish essential In
formation, and in th meantime I
would be pleased to have those In
terested give some assurance aa to
the approximate cost of transporta
tion of first class and newspaper mail
only between Willows and Heppner,
or from Arlington to Heppner, aa the
case may be, It being intended that
all other mall reach Heppner and in
tervening points aa at present."
As stated above, the postmasters at
Arlington and Heppner, as well aa at
intervening points, hava received a
questionnaire from th fourth as
sistant postmaster general, asking
for some specific information that
will help in arriving at the solution
of the matter when the time comes.
Business men and others of Hepp
ner have had thia star route question
up, and it is strongly endorsed her.
Proper petitions in blank form hare
been prepared and ar now being cir
culated, and so far aa we ar abl to
learn it would pleas th people of
th branch along th proposed new
star route to have this change made.
There is now a -ell established
passenger stage line between Arling
ton and Heppner, and the manage
ment of this route have th matter
before them of what they will carry
this mail for, and they should be in
a position to present bids shortly.
Others, also, may become interested
in bidding, and it is figured that a
very reasonable price for thia ser
vice can be procured.
As ahown here, th department Is
calling only for the transportation
of first class mail and newspapers on
the proposd route, and this is a ser
vice that would be much appreciated
by the people here. It will shorten
the time practically twenty-four
houra in getting mail of this class in
and out of Portland, would give us
our mail at a far better time of day,
and there Is everything In its favor,
as viewed by those at this and of the
line.
At any rate, th proposition will
go up to the department at Washing
ton in proper shape, and there is lit
tle doubt but if a reasonable bid for
carrying the mail can be aecured,
Ilippnor and intervening points on
the branch between here and Arling
ton will be getting far better mail
service than we enjoy at the present
time.
Irrigon Community Will
Have Visit From Alpine
In order that there may be fostered
a more friendly and neighborly spirit
between the two sections of the coun
ty, the people of Alpine have arrang
ed to go in a body to Irrigon on Sun
day, November 12th, taking with
them well filled baskets of good eats,
to which the Irrigon people will add
their quota. Shoulld the weather
permit, the feed will be spread out
doors, but if not, then some suitable
building will be used and the day
spent in a good social time on a get
acquainted basis, and the discussion
of mutual community Interests
This is a fine idea and one that
should be taken up by different com
munities of the county, in order that
we come to know each other better.

Portland Lawyer Speaks
For Republican Ticket
Charlea H. Gloss, an attorney of
Portland, addressed ft large audience
of Heppner eitisen on Tuesday eve
ning at th Star theater on th issues
of th campaign and in support of
th republican nomineea.
While, a speaker of ability, Mr
Gloaa did not enthuse his audience
very greatly, taking time to delv a
littles too much into ancient history.
He showed up some of Mr. Pierce's
inconsistencies and mad an appeal
for th united support of th repub
lican voter in behalf of th nom
inees of th party, and steered clear
of th school bill, further than to
show up th stand of th democratic
nomine for governor on that issue.
W ar pretty well convinced that
Mr. Gloaa did not change th mind of
any voter, and bis address waa aome
what of a "frost."

were present from Heppner.

Commission Reduces
Telephone Charges
PORTLAND, Oct. 30. The Oregon
public service commission today or
dered a considerable reduction in the
rates charged for service throughout
Oregon by the Pacific Telephone and
Telegraph company. The effect of the
decision is for six months pending a
fuller hearing of the question. The
commission designated its order as
an emergency measure.
Under the order the rates for resi
dence and a few other classes of serv
ice are reduced to the approximate
level in effect before the increase or
dered by the previous public service
commission two years ago. No reduc
tion is made for business telephones
except party lines and the cheaper
classea of service.
H. W. Grim, B. P. Rand, B. B. Lane,
W. L. Suddarth and Charley Powell
constituted the Irrigon delegation in
Heppner over last night to attend the
road meeting at the court house.
These gentlemen are all consistent
boosters for a road leading to the
county seat from their project, and
they are putting up an earnest fight
hoping that before long the north
end and the south end of the county
will be brought together by the com
pletion of roads now under way.
Evan Stoneman of Hardman exhi
bited the pelt of a fine bob cat at
the office of Clerk Waters yesterday
and claimed his bounty therefor. Mr.
Stoneman reports that wintry condi

and there is considerable snow on the
foothills.
GET THIS PICTURE,
THEN ACT!
Can you get a mental picture of
80,000 dead jack rabbits, the squir
rels killed from three tons of pois
oned grain, these to be topped off
with over 100 coyotes, stacked In one
pile? If so you can see what it
meant to have a rodent fund in this
county last year with which to work.
The toll of rabbits was taken from
th northern part, the squirrels from
the central and southern part and the
coyotes from all parts of borrow
county, which tells us that every one,
farmers and stock growers from all
parts have benefitted. That isn't all.
Thia will be duplicated next season.
The fund we are now voting will
take care of this for the next two
years.
It is administered by the County
Court
It has been the means of making It
possible for our County Agent to or
ganize and put across one of the
most effective rodent campaigns In
the state of Oregon, saving thous
ands of dollars worth of crops last
year
It directly benefits all the farmers
and therofore all the county, and
merits our united support

Suddenly Wednesday
Mrs. A. M. Zink, who resided on
their farm near lone, was taken sud
denly quite ill on the first of the
wwek and was brought to Heppner
by her physician, Dr. Walker, on
Tuesday. Not getting better, it was
decided that an operation was neces
sary, and while being prepared to go
on the table, Mrs. Zink suddenly ex
pired, passing away yesterday after
noon at the Moore hospital.
Her physicians, Drs. Walker and
Chick, while realizing the serious
illness of Mrs. Zink, were not pre
pared for the fatal turn of her ail
ment and think it must have been
due to heart weakness, as she suf
fered from too much fat about that
organ.

Road Meeting Held at
Court House Last Night
Pursuant to call issued by J. Perry
Conder, chairman of committee, a
road meeting was held at the court
house on last evening, which was
well attended by delegations from
different parts of the north end of
th county.
For the purpose of presenting
plans, backed upby facts and statis
tics for the closing of the gap in the
connection between the hard sur
faced roads of Morrow and Umatilla
counties, the call read, and it was
somewhat along these lines that the
meeting was carried on, though we
were informed by aome of those at
tending, that no real definite plans
were presented and acted upon.
Th trend of the discussion was the
tieing up of th different commun
kies.'jooth north and south, by bet
ter roads, and the bringing into con
tact thereby of the people over the
county. Their interests are some
what diversified, but roads that will
make these various sections more
easily reached will have the effect
of solidifying our resources, and
there was some good talk along this
line.
As to the completion of the Lex-ington-Jarmon
market road this sea
son, or soon, there seems little pros
pect The court has done all that it
promised in that direction, and now
work must be undertaken on other
roads, where the intersts seem to be
just as great. So it will not be pos
sible to get further help from the
county court much as they might de
sire the completion of this very im
portant connection between Willow
creek highway and Columbia River
highway.
However, the people of Irrigon, Al
pine, Boardman and other sections
out north are determined to get con
nected up with the county seat, and
they will continue to keep the matter
before the rest of our people that
some plans may be matured for the
consummation of their desires. We
of the south end want the produce of
the irrigated sections, and they in
turn want our grain and need it in
their business. Good road connec
tions is the only bar to this inter
change of commodities at the present
time, and it is to be hoped that this
handicap will be overcome in the
near future. In the meantime we
are reminded that it takes money to
build good roads.

Visiting Football Team
Praised by Fossil Paper
While Heppner high school foot
ball team failed to score against
Fossil in the game played in the
Wheeler county capitol recently, and
at no time came anywhere near going
over the goal line for a count against
their husky opponents, they were al
ways in the game just the same, and
fought for all there waa in them,
and the Fossil Journal speaks of our
team in the following manner:
"In regard to the visiting team,
too much cannot be said about the
spirit which the Heppner team show
ed. Although they knew that they
were beaten, they played the game
and played it hard, until the whistle
blew. Any coach or any high school
should be proud of a team that dis
plays the gameness and sportsman
ship that the Heppner team Bhowed
in the game here Saturday."

don and Locals Here

Heppner high schools will meet in

good match for the Gilliam county
lads. They will play for all there is
in them, at any rate, and the home
team should receive the encourage
ment of a good audience. The game
will be called promptly at 2:00 p. m
and the admission will be 25 and 60
cants.

and instantly killed Harry E. Rose,
proprietor of a soft drink parlor and

cation which took place en Saturday
evening when th marshal went to

ally discharged in the scuffle which
occurred at that time.
L. D. Clark I s brother of Hiram
and Sam Clark of this city and he
has been marshal and deputy sheriff
at Helix for a good many years. Dif
ferent versions of th affair ar giv
en, but upon testimony offered st the
coroner's inqueat on Monday, held at

tifiable in th killing, and he waa
taken to Pendleton to be held in jail
awaiting hia preliminary hearing to

A Pendleton paper states that
Clark steadfastly refused to msk
any statement regarding th affair,

fense will be along the lines of per
formance of duty and aelf defense,

"If you don't understand it, why
don't you look it up in the dictionary?
That's what it was made for."
"Take your seats, everybody."
"Fours right, march."
"No speaking without permission."
I "Freshmen, did you all get that?"
j "Ho hum," said the dock, stretch
ing out its hands and yawning. "I'm
tired of keeping watch over this old
assembly hall."
"Never mind. We get to see a lot
and I like it even if people do nearly
break me by sitting down so hard,"
said Guys desk.
"Do you know about that pennant
fight?" asked the eraser. "Somebody
threw me out in the hall last week
and I've been there until today when
a kind hearted teacher picked me up
and brought me in here."
"Oh yes," said the clock. "It was
thia way. "The Sophomores got their
pennant, and put it up last Thurs
day, not thinking about it being
taken down, because it wasnt a
Freshman pennant However, the next
morning it wasn't there. The Sophs
were lamenting its disappearance
when the Seniors came last Friday.
You know how Seniors are, and they
immediately gave the Sophs the
laugh, but the game little Sophs
pointed to the place where the Sen
ior pennant had hung. Alas, it was
bare and empty. After a few days the
Seniors began to want their precious
piece of felt back and gave final
notice that it must he returned, in
a bloody manner. Then on Oct 27
the Juniors pennant was gone. The
Juniors had felt themselves above
the other classes who fought over
paltry pennants, but now there was
great consternation in the ranks
Things got hot; we heard plots of
violence. The classes all were ready
for action. The day was saved by Mr.
Hedrick, who made satisfactory ar
rangements with all the classes. The
pennants were returned in a quite
and mysterious manner and they
will soon be back in their places
here. Perhaps they can tell wondrous
tales', then. "Shh! Here comes the
prof."
