Frank Hall wer is itora her during th moil of tht past week, guests at the horn of Mrs. Hall's mother, Mrs. Melissa Marlatt. They returned to their homo at Nut chei, Wash, the end of the week. Mr. and Mrs. Hall report everything coming along fine in the Yakima val ley and prospects for a tremendous crop of fruit and other products this aeaosn. Quit considerable traffic is now being routed through Heppner to avoid as much as possible that sec tion of the Columbia highway that is receiving its coat of oil. Some cars come over Franklin hill, but more seem to be coming up Butter creek from Kche, It makes quite a differ ence, at any rate, in the automobile traffic through Heppner. Mr. and Mrs. M. R. Morgan of lone were Saturday visitors in Heppner for a few hours. M. R. had a little business with the tax collector at the court house and was pleased to be able to get that gentleman off his hands. Good spring weather was on in the lone country and vegetation rapidly putting forth. J. S. Johnson, wheatraiser of the lone country, was in Heppner on Sat urday to interview the tax collector and look after some other business matters. Wr. Johnson was hoping for some warmer weather, stating that it would be quite beneficial to the coming crops. The old hills around Heppner are getting well coated with green and there is a remarkable change in the appearance of the landscape. We heard someone say that they thought the hills were always brown here, but this is not a fact; they are green a ' part of the time. . J. B. Huddleston, well known Mor row county stockman with headquar ters at Heppner, was a Pendleton vis itor yesterday. Mr. Hudleston is very entnusiasuc regaruing tno r.nisiung of the 16 miles of highway between Vinson nad Lena. East Oregonian. Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Carlson were visitors in the city yesterday. The crops "ere coming good on the Carl son farm and his hard federation wheat is making a record growth. He believes this is a coming wheat for Morrow county. Mrs. Eugene Penland and daughter, Mrs. Dorothy Patterson, departed on Monday for Portland, expecting to make their home in the city for the spring and summer months. Mr. Pen- land has been located In Portland for some time. Joe Hayes, big sheepman of Butter creek, was doing business here the first of the weke. He is in the midst of lambing now, has lots f good grass on the range, and is feeling pretty good over the prospects. Matt Hughes was down from his foot hill ranch on Tuesday. Fine spring weather prevails at present out his way, there is abundant grass and the stock Is looking well. Anion Wright was in from his Hardman ranch on Tuesday and re ports that spring seems to have fully arrived out that way and vegetation is growing fine. ing bee returned in Great Falls, Montana, last year. It is understood that it was the desire to obtain an acreaf of 20,000, which was D.OOU acres more than could have been con trolled legally by any or all of the alleged conspirators. The securing of permits for vast acreage means that prospectors without large means would have greatly lessened opportu nities to prospect for themselves. In the document are recited specifically 24 "overt acta." Numerous letters and telegrams alleged to have passed between Wheeler and Campbell were presented to the grand Jury. The indictment beara the signa tures of Peyton Gordon, United States Attorney, William J. Donovan, Assistant Attorney General, and John 3. Pratt, R. P. Stewart and Oliver E. Pagan, Special Assistants to the At torney General. ( It is understood in Washington that the trial of Senator Wheeler on the first indictment brought against him will be held April 16 in Montana. RADIO fans in the United States are far better off than Ihey are in Germany, for about 13,000,00 gold marks, which equals approximately 13,000,000 in our money, is paid the German postotfice department each year for radio licenses. There are now nearly 600,000 radio subscribers in Germany, and each one is taxed about M)c a month. To install a ra dio without first securing license from the German government is pu inhabl by a substantial fin. OWING to the fact that numerous foreign countries wer sending vast quantities of butter and other dairy products to this country and selling them at a price tended to se verely injure, if not ruin, th dairy interests ef th country. President Coolidg recently directed that th United States Tariff Commission make an inquiry into th matter, so that, if it were found necessary, he could, under th flexible rat of the tariff, adjust the duty on foreign dairy prdoucts. According to stat utes an open meeting must b held by th Tariff Commission before the case is finally submitted to th Pres ident with th recommendation of the Commission. This open hearing will be held at the office of th Tariff Commission in Washington at 10 A. M., April 21st. PRESIDENT COOL1DGE is unalter ably opposed to private American loans being made to European coun tries if the money is to be used for military armament or for expendi tures of like character by the gov ernments of foreign lands. The president's position will meet with the approval of the great body of the citisene of this country who are in favor of peace among the na- tioni of th world. ! The chief executiv of th nation has mad publie his attitude in our duty to the rest of th world in the matter of aiding to our fullest extent in helping ret to re normal economic eonditiona, through the stabilisation of currency, rehabilitation of com mercial enterprises and any other such forms that are in th class of what may be termed legitimate peace tim measures. While th government of the Uni ted States has no authority to stop the floating of foreign loans in this country the majority of American in vestors usually seek to learn if such and auch a loan meets with the ap proval of those who guide the affairs of the country. That is good business sense. If Europe will realise that there is no more money for war it will mean a big step forward in the cause of peace; it will have a salutary effect. President Cooldige is determined to bring to the attention of th world that this country is willing to help the rest of the world if the rest of th world will help herself by adopt ing a plan that will mean the cessa tion of war and the resumption of honorable peace time pursuits. CONGRESSMAN JOHN M. NELSON of Wisconsin, presidential cam paign manager for Senator LaFollette, Our Washington Letter N. p. s. WASHINGTON, D. C, April 7. United States Senator Burton K. Wheeler, recent candidate for Vice President on the Third Party Social istic ticket, has been indicted in Washington by a special grand jury on charge of " conspiracy. The charges are that Wheeler conspired to obtain illegal use and possession of public domain of the United States In Montana, for the purpose of pros pecting for oil and gas. Th indictment, which consisted of 29 typewritten pages, charged that from April 1, 1920, to January, 1924, th accused entered into conspiracy to defraud the Unite'd States out of th use and possession of 10,000 acres in Tool County, Morttfana, which lands wer subject to permit for prospecting for oil and gas. Indicted with Wheeler were Edward S. Booth, former Solicitor of the In terior Department, and Gordon Camp bell of Montana. This is the second Indictment of Wheeler, the first hav- Gilliam & Bisbee s j& Column j& SOMETHING NEW I Win chester Garden Tools for spring work. They are the best. Try them.

In certain democratic quarters the matter is once more be ing diecusfed as to how far they can or should sustain him with the idea of creating more confusion for the republicans. Neither the call of Mr. Nelson or the possible adhesion of certain of the democrats need worry the republicans, for the reason that the people as a whole, as shown by the last election, already hare a strong prejudice against these un holy alliances created particularly with destructive ideas in mind. If the reports coming out of Wisconsin are to be believed, there is also quite a possibility that Mr. Nelson, as field marshal! for LaFollette Third Party Socialist combination will be obliged to devote all his energy to watching the congressional seats in the Bad ger state. WHETHER it likes it or not, Con tress will be obliged to pass judf; mnt on the Mucle Shoals propram at tbe next session. Furthermore, the desire to dodge this issue, which is admittedly prevalent in certain quarters, will be made harder hy rea son of the fact that to the new Con gress the President will transmit report of the special commission which is already appointed to inves tigate this subject in alt its phases. To that commission he has named former Representative John C, Me Kenzie of Illinois, former Senator Nathaniel B. Dial of South Carolina, Professor Harry A. Curtis, of Yle University, William MeClellan, New York City, and Eussell F. Bower of the Farm Burau Federation. Muscle Shoals, to the farmers of the nation, means an opportunity for agricultural development. The Pres ident's attitude is that this is a par ticular side of the subject which de serves careful study, and support in the event of the farmers' conjectures proving to be justified. For that reason he will accompany the report of the MuBcle Shoals Commission with a strong sustaining message calling for action and decision. and it is !
