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

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

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.

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-

has iiined a clarion call to th coun
try to rally to the support of the
Third Party Socialist congressional
candidates. 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.

Getting Started
Many people have plenty of good
intentions but fail because of lack of
action.
Probably your fortune and suc

habit of banking a little surplus every

will count more than the amount.
