ME 10 LIFE
New Organization Begun
At Elkhorn Restaurant
Friday Evening.
SPRAY ROAD IS TOPIC
Van Marter Elected President and
Goodman Secretary; 54 Sign
Roll of New Body.
The Heppner Commercial club has
come to life. At the banquet at the
Elkhorn restaurant Friday evening 58
business men of the city path e red
around the festive board, and with a
responsive attitude to the matter in
hand unanimously voted to resurrect
the commercial body, which has been
dormant for two years.
La Verne Van Marter. due mostly to
whose efforts the meeting was called,
was elected president of the new or
ganization, with Dean Goodman secretary-treasurer.
Mr. Van Marter has
been making a clone study of the
Heppner-Spray road situation, having
been over the ground several times
recently, and recognizing the great
benefit Heppner would derive from
the completion of the road, he started
the ball rolling among business men
to got an organization to again take
up the matter, which was under con
sideration here two years ago but
had to be given up then because other
road programs were more important.
The meeting Friday was to' get an or
ganization started and to discuss this
road matter.
Mr. Van Marter had sketched a map
of the state of Oregon showing the
proposed road in connections with
the main highways of the state, and
in an introductory talk explained
what he thought the road would do
for Heppner. He pointed out that Its
completion would make a big short
cut between the Columbia Highway
to the east and the Central Oregon
highway to California, thus making
a great saving in distance to eastern
Oregon and eastern Washington peo
ple going to California. It will not
be very long, he said, before a good
macadam road will be had between
here and Pendleton, connecting us up
with the Columbia highway at that
point, and with the completion of the
work now under way on the lower
end of the Willow creek highway, a
good macadam road will likewise join
us wfth the Columbia highway at Ar
lington. Only forty miles remain to
be finished between here and Spray,
connecting us up with the John Day
highway, and gnod roads o the Cen
tral Oregon highway to California.
"If this is done we can expect at least
half of the truffle from the east en
route for California," is Mr. Van
Matter's opinion. He based his be
lief on the heavy traffic on the Colum
bia river highway, the shortening of
the distance, the good road provided,
and the scenery of the route.
George Bleakman of Hardman, who
has been as closely connected with
this road in the past as any other
man in the county, having been coun
ty commissioner at the time the mat
ter was under consideration by the
county court two years ago, and hav
ing driven stage over this route for
several years, was the first speaker
called upon by Chairman Van Marter.
Mr. Bleakman explained the connec
tion he bad had with the matter, and
threw considerable light on what it
might be possible for the Heppner
men to do in the matter as well as
how they should proceed.
"This road will cost the people of
Morrow county $350,1)00, that is with
out federal help," declared Mr, Bleak
man. "However, as Id miles lies
within the Umatilla National forest,
this much is immediately open for
government support, and the remain
der, 14 miles between Hardman and
Spray and 12 miles yet to be hard
surfaced between Heppner and Hard
man, will likewies be subject to fed
eral aid if the road can be placed on
the state map as a post road, which
it really Is."
Mr. Bleakman said It was found a
year ago, when he went over the
ground in company with state high
way engineers, that the entire road
from Hardman to Spray could be made
on a two per cunt grade with the ex
ception of a short distance which
would have to be about five per cent.
He said the state commission was
favorably impressed with the road at
that time, but were unable to do any
thing with it because of a shortage
of tunds, and pressure of more im
portant roads.
Other speakers who gave the mat
ter their support and added to the
fund of knowledge on the road, past
and present, were C. E. Woodson,
Judge W. T. Campbell, S. E. Notaon
and It. L. Benge. Every man present
pledged his support to any program
undertaken to put the road over, and
64 signed the roll of the new commer
cial ciub. Mr. Van Marter plans to
appoint an executive committee of
some four or (ive men in the near
future, to take complete charge of
the work.
The new organization also voted to
entertain the formers who will visit
Heppner the 30th of this month on a
tour of Inspection of the farms of
the county. R, L. Morse, county ag
ent, explanied the purpose and scope
of the tour.
TEACHERS AT SUMMER SCHOOL.
Teachers from practically every
county of Oregon are planning to at
tend the summer sessions at O. A.
C. beginning June IK. A good many
college and high school students are
ending in credentials to enter for
special credits. A brilliant array of
lecturers as well as teaching talent
has been signed up for evening and
day sessions. Charles Upton Clark,
formnrly director of the Amorlcan
school for classical studies in Home,
will (linruss tlio near east and Balk
ans, Italy of today, and Homo of the
Caesars, Courses in diet in dihtentte,
and principles of nutrition will be
given by Mrs, Jessamine C. Williams,
head of household science at the
University of Arizona. Some 300 boys
and girls club members are now at
the college for special short courses.
IONE IS SHUT OUT
IN SUNDAY'S GAME
A complete shut-out was Ione'a por
tion in the ball game on their grounds
hut Sunday with Heppner. They had
a new pitcher in the box but he was
not able to keep the visitor! from
swatting the ball, and In the course
of the Game Heppner marked up four
tallies, while lone was not able to
get a man across the home plate for
a count.
The lone boys have been working
at a disadvantage recently, as Roche,
their star pitcher for the past several
seasons has developed a bad arm
and has had to lay off, and a man
his equal has not been found yet.
In a game with Condon the previous
Sunday, he was put In the box, and
Condon walked all over him; in fact
that game, according to the lone
Independent, was a farce, the score
standing 24 to 12 in favor of Condon,
which would indicate that there was
not much real ball playing on the
part of either team. A much better
game was played at lone last Sun
day. Heppner and lone will play again
at lone on the 4th, as one of the
features of the celebration, at which
time Manager Mason expects to have
his team up in winning shape. Hepp
ner plays at Condon next Sunday.

The Jubilee Singers Coming to Chautauqua
An Organization of Seven Colored Artists to Croon the Lullabies and Sing
the Songs of the Southland the Closing Day of Chautauqua.
s'X- ' m'4jr ?v v 4sjl Jh'-ii-M
Jubilee companies as a rule are limited in musical scope to a lively rendition of the old-fashioned melodies
and Bongs of the Southland. The Garner Jubilee Company and male quartet, however, is a very decided excep
tion to this general rule. Here is a splendid organization which renders the old plantation favorites, the spirit
uals and the old folk songs of the South with all the exquisite beauty and expression so characteristic of the
singing of their people. Then, they surprise their audiences with the- most difficult of operatic selections and
arias, with the finest numbers from the oratorio libraries and in fact with the best in classical compositions.
One does not have to seek far for a reason for this very exceptional artistry. George R. Garner was organist
and tenor soloist in the Chicago Olivet Baptist Church for the past five years and having access to the finest col
ored artists in America, he has had the opportunity of choosing a group of distinguished vocalists. The Gamers
will be heard at Chautauqua on the closing day and you will get a real musical surprise when you hear them.

Oregon State Bankers
Propose Cooperation
Group Recommends Appointment of
Agricultural Committee to Con
fer With State College
Recommendation that the Oregon
State Bankers' association appoint
a committee of specialists to confer
with specialists of the state college
on a program of economic production
and profitable marketing was made
by the group of bankers that met at
the college Thursday, June 7, to in
vestigate the subject.
The conference was called by C.
D. Rorer of the United States Bank
at Eugene, who is chairman of the
agricultural commission of the Am
erican Bankers' association for the
northwest states in the twelfth feder
al reserve district. The purpose as
stated. by Mr. Rorer was to stimulate
the interest of the individual banker
in more profitable agriculture.
"It is not our intention to attempt
to teach farming and we hope you
will not go home and try to inflict
such things on the already over-burdened
farmer," Mr. Rorer asserted.
"We do hope from demonstrations we
see here today to point the way to
a solution of some of the problems of
agriculture and help solve its econ
omic problems."
How Burton N. Smith, chariman of
the national commission, studied the
farmers' problems first hand and then
went to work on their solution, was
explained.
"We hope by these demonstrations
today to sell you bankers? the idea
so you can go into your respective
communities and put into actual prac
tice some of the things Mr. Smith
has done. I do not want you to over
look the importance of one thing I
have tried to bring out Mr. Smith
went to the agricultural college of
his state. Call on the college offi
cials often is my recommendation."
Safety Deposit Box Is
Recovered ; Bonds Gone
Something more than a year ago
the safety deposit box of R. W. Tur
ner, containing unregistered govern
ment bonds to the amount of $1300,
besides many other valuable papers,
came up missing at the First Nation
al bank and since that time it has
been a profound mystery as to where
the box might be and how It came
to get away from the bank. The first
part of the mystery has been solved,
but the latter point still remains a
mystery that may remain unsolved to
the end of time.
While trailing sheep along the
road on Heppner Flat Sunday in the
vicinitv of the Ben Buschke place.
Wm. Spurlock picked up the box
found lying just over the fence and
near to a rock crip. He spied the box
as his horse was reaching over the
fence and brousing on the grass in
side. He at once notified Sheriff
McDuffee, and that officer, accompan
ied by District Attorney Notson, went
out to see if they could discover some
clue as to how the box got there. It
would appear that the box might have
been hidden under the rock crib and
later rooted out by hogs running in
the field. Mr. Turner and his son J.
O. Turner also went out to get the
box, and on examination it was found
to contain all the papers except the
bonds, though they were in somewhat
damaged condition from exposure.
We have been informed that at
least one of the missing bonds has
been located in an eastern bank, and
it may be possible to trace the others.
but who got the box out of the bank
is the question that the officers and
Mr. Turner, as well, would like to
be able to answer.

Sheep Company Asks
For Return of Band
That a flock of sheep comprising
1.225 ewes and 1,175 lambtbelonging
to the Sloan Sheep company were un
lawfully seized June 7 while on the
range near Meacham by Charles
Weeks is the contention made by the
plaintiff company in a suit for dam
ages in circuit court filed by Fee and
Fee.
The value of the band is given at
$12,000 in the complaint. The plain
tiff asks for the return of the sheep
and for a judgment for damages of
slightly more than $1,200, which is
claimed to have been caused due to
the fact that the sheep were taken
off of good range and put on poor
range. East Oregonian.
