Night Schedule Is Con
sidered by O-W. R. &.N.
For Heppner Branch.
J. P. O'BRIEN VISITS
General Manager Believea Change
Beneficial; la Pleased With Con
ditions I n This District.
Heppner may have night train ser
vice in the near future in place of
the present day service, if action now
being taken by the Oregon-Washington
Railroad and Navigation com
pany results favorably. The matter
was presented to the business men of
the city on Tuesday and the majority
of them sanctioned the change.
This step is being considered by the
company on the belief that the change
will give better mail and express ser
vice to its patrons on this branch,
said J. P. O'Brien, general manager
of he O.-W. R. & N. company, in an
interview this morning. Mr. O'Brien
and other officials of the company
were here over last night in behalf of
this and other company interests.
Condon business men have asked for
this change on their branch line and
practical assurance has been given
them that it will be made, Mr. O'Brien
stated.
The proposed schedule for this
branch under the new arrangement is
as follows: Leave Heppner 12:30 a.
m., arrive Heppner Junction 3:15 a.
m.; leave Heppner Junction on re
turn at 4 a. m., arrive Heppner 6:30
a. m. Connection on the main line
would be with trains 25 and 26. This
would give the Heppner branch towns
12 hours earlier service on parcel
post, mail and express, as well as
overnight passenger service into Port
land, which, in the opinion of the of
ficials should meet with favor.
, In regard to the freight handling,
Mr. O'Brien said in effect:
The only difference in the freight
handling will be that it will arrive in
the morning instead of in the eve
ning. Since the freight is not de
livered in Heppner until the follow
ing morning after it arrives, under
the present schedule, merchants would
get it at the same time under the new
schedule, as the train would arrive in
the morning earlier than the usual
time for delivery now. It would be
better not to have a change in the
freight schedule on the main line,
since starting trains out of Portland
earlier would necessitate setting ear
lier closing hours for receiving the
freight, and hence a shorter period of
the day in which orders could be filled
and put on the cars. With quicker
mail service into Portland, it would
be possible, however to receive freight
shipments here about a day sooner
than is possible under the present
schedule.
Mr. O'Brien said that no definite
action has as yet been taken by the
company for a change on this branch,
but that it is being seriously consid
ered and might be expected at any
time. Twenty-five Heppner business
men have sanctioned the change.
With regard to crop prospects over
the entire eastern Oregon and east
ern Washington country, Mr. O'Brien
said reports were very favorable. He
was glad to note the encouraging con
ditions surrounding our city and
county and felt encouraged to believe
that the advanced condition of crops
and abundance of moisture practic
ally assured a bumper harvest. The
fruit harvest in both Oregon and
Washington will be abundant, he says,
very little damage having resulted
from frosts, and none of the fruit
having been hurt with the possible
exception of some cherry, apricot,
and other soft fruit trees.
The officials left Heppner in their
private coach on this morning's train.
Steiwer Delegation
In Heppner Today
Frederick Steiwer, republican can
didate for United States senator from
Oregon, is In Heppner today accom
panied by a delegation of Pendleton
business men. At noon a luncheon was
held at the Elkhorn in the interests
of his candidacy, attended by a large
number of his supporters in this city.
Among those who accompanied Mr.
Steiwer are Mr. and Mrs. Pat Lon
ergan, Roy W. Ritner, Jack Mulligan
and Miss Frazier, who composed the
party in Mr. Ritner's car, Mr. Stei
wer was given a warm reception here,
and feels hopeful of carrying this
district by a considerable majority.
The delegation will go on to lone this
evening.
DEPOT BEING MOVED.
The O.-W. R. & N. depot In this
city is being moved some 280 feet
nearer the city. A work crew started
the work the first of the week, and
the building Is now being raised pre
paratory to putting it on the skids.
When it is relocated considerable ren
ovating will be done, to put it in
shape for handling freight. The
freight room and platform will be
raised to the height of the freight
car doors, facilitating unloading of
freight from the cars as well as re
loading on trucks. The moving makes
the depot accessible to vehicles from
the north platform, which has been
impossible in the paBt.

COUNTRY CLUB
WILL SPONSOR
GOLF COURSE
Charter Roll Includes 25 Names;
Site Chosen and Profes
sional Makes Plans.
With a charter membership of 25,
the Heppner Country club was organ
ized last Thursday evening at the
council chambers in Heppner. Earl
W. Gordon was elected president of
the organization, and E. H. Hallock,
secretary-treasurer. The purpose of
the club is the immediate establish
ment of a golf course.
The site for the course has been
selected on the hill just east of town,
and it was marked out the first of the
week by Jack Routledge, professional
in charge of the Hood River course.
Mr. Routledge laid out the course and
made plans for nine holes, and he de
clared that when put in shape it will
be one of the sportiest courses in the
country. The kick-oft tee will be
situated near the drinking fountain
on the Hinton creek road just around
the bend from the schoolhouse, and
the finish hole will be located but a
short distance from the start.
Committees have been appointed to
push the work of the club, and it is
hoped to have the greens laid and
fairways put in shape for playing in
side a few weeks. The committees
appointed by President Gordon are:
Constitution and by-laws, C. L.
Sweek and Roger Morse; head of
greens committee, L. Van Marter;
membership, Ed Bennett, J. Crawford,
Dr. Johnston and H. Hill.
An initial membership fee of $10
is being charged to raise money for
starting the work, and it is expected
a small amount for dues will be set
later. Membership has been thrown
open to everyone at this rate.
Town Tearn Victors
Over Masonic Nine
The onslaught of the town team
ball boys proved too much for the
Masonic nine, in the five inning clash
on Rodeo field Friday aftenoon, and
they suffered defeat by an 8-2 score.
Two of the regulars were missing
from the latter's lineup, to which
their defeat is accredited. These
were Doc Farrior, center fielder and
moundsman, and James Couston, out
fielder, both heavy stickers.
It is rumored that the Elks have
now organized a team, and that there
will shortly be things doing jn the
Twilight league. The Masons won
the opener from the K. of P.
New Ferguson Building
To Be Started at Once
Contract for the new Ferguson ga
rage building has been let to Harry
Johnson, Henry Crump and Ed Buck
num, local contractors, and work will
begin immediately. When completed
it will cover 66x90 feet, constructed
of reinforced concrete. Gene Fergu
son and his father O. T. Ferguson
are erecting the structure to house
the Ferguson Chevrolet company, now
located in the Garrigues building.
The site on which the building will
stand is on the corner of May and
Main streets, formerly owned by Den
nis McNamce. The building will be
constructed and equipped in a thor
oughly modern manner for the con
ducting of an up-to-date garage bus
iness. All local help will be em
ployed In its erection.
COYOTE ATTACKS CHILD.
Melvin. the three-year-old son of
Mrs. Brady of Jordan Siding, suf
fered severe lacerations and bruises
Sunday afternoon at the Gibson home
on Rhea creek. Several small chil-
cren were nlaying in the yard near a
oet coyote that was chained to a post,
when the animal broke loose and at
tacked Melvin. Before help could
reach him the animal, a two-year-old,
had knocked the child over and torn
his flesh severely. On being rushed
to the Morrow General hospital in
Heppner he was ffiven a eeneral an
esthetic, the wounds wore cauterized
and the necessary stitches taken. He
was able to return home Monday af
ternoon and is reported to be recov
ering nicely at this time.
SEVEN KINDS OF PEOPLE.
There may be seven different colors
or races but we do not have that in
mind. There may be seven different
types of mind (or seven hundred)
but we are not thinking of that either.
It is possible that there are seven (or
more) political viewpoints in our
country but we are not concerned with
that just now either. It is possible,
however, to divide people into seven
classes religiously speaking; this will
be done with the help of the black
board at the Church of Christ on
Sunday night.
The morning sermon will be enti
tled, "Two Crosses."
Bible school is on the upgrade, let
us keep it that way. And Christian
Endeavor will be right on the job at
seven o'clock.

ECHO DEFEATS IONE.
In the Tri-County league game at
lone Sunday, the Echo team defeated
the Egg City boys 6-0. The strong
hitting of the Umatilla team, com
bined with the loose support given
pitcher Roberts was responsible.
Echo's strong battery, Berry on the
mound and Charlie Hoskins receiv
ing, proved practically impregnable,
while their support in the field was
mighty good.

The oiling crew employed by the
engineer department of the state high
way commission has completed the
work between Heppner Junction and
Arlington and will soon finish the
work as far as Blalock. When this is
completed the crew will move to Biggs
and begin work on the Sherman high
way which will be oiled as far as
Wasco. The work this year has been
done by a different method than that
attempted previously. The entire
road surface Is scarified after having
been soaked with water. The oil is
then applied, and penetrates to a
depth of 'several inches. Although
the newly oiled portion is almost im
passable for 24 hours, within a day
it becomes as smooth and hard as a

PROTECTION WILL
BE GIVEN GRAVES
AT WELLS SPRINGS
Pioneer Pathfinders Buried In
North End of County to Have
Resting Places Marked.
Through the efforts of the Daugh
ters of the American Revolution, the
graves of tome twenty or more of the
early emigrants to the Pacific North
west, now in an unprotected state at
Wells Springs in the north end of
Morrow county, will be properly
marked and protected.
Last Thursday Frank Gilliam, W.
P. Mahoney, Walter Moore and Joe
Kirschner of this city went to Wells
Springs, and a piece of land, 90x200
feet was marked off. This tract will
contain within its boundaries all the
graves that anything is known about,
and arrangements will soon be com
pleted for placing around this a good
substantial fence. Iron posts will be
placed, set in concrete, and then a
strong wire fencing attached, mak-
ng construction of a permanent na
ture. These gentlemen also select
ed a very fine piece of granite which
was located near the James Carty
place, and this is to be brought to
Wells Springs and placed as a marker.
To this stone will be attached a
bronze plate containing as near as
possible the names of all the pioneeT
pathfinders buried there.
Some funds will be required to do
this work, and while the Heppner
community has been asked for a com
paratively small sum, Mrs. W. P. Ma
honey, who has charge of the matter
of getting funds here, expects there
wjll be no difficulty in securing much
more than the quota. Quite a num
ber have already signified their will
ingness to aid, and it is expected that
residents of Gilliam county will also
make donations and the necessary
amount for completing the fencing
and marking the graves will be forth
coming. Heppner Wins Second

club came back strong Sunday and
took their Wheat City opponents to
a 9-1 cleaning on the latter's diamond.'
Only one error was made behind pit
cher Turner for the locals, while they
knocked out 18 hits for the nine
scores.
Lowell Turner, high school lad,
pitched like a veteran for the locals,
allowing but six hits and four passed
batters. B. R. Finch held him up in
good shape. Russ Wright, Lexington
twirler, had an off day, having a hard
time finding the plate, and walked six
batters. He was supplanted by Shear
er in the seventh.

Heppner meets Helix next Sunday,
when with Fred Roberts in the box
they expect to put up a good game.
Fred Roberts Signs 0
With Heppner Club
Fred Roberts, youthful ball twirler,
who opened the season on the mound
for lone, has signed with the local
aggregation and will make his first
appearance under his new contract
Sunday when Heppner faces Helix on
the local grounds. Though young in
years, Fred is getting to be an old
head at the pitching game. He hails
from Portland, and was first intro
duced to these parts when he pitched
for the locals two years ago.
The addition of Roberts will ma
terially strengthen the Heppner club,
as it has been weak in the mound lo
cation, and the locals are now hopeful
of winning the majority of their
games. Helix has a strong team, and
other good nines are being placed on
the Heppner schedule. Heppner has
her pick at any loose teams tlrs year,
as she is playing independent ball.
GOOD SMOKER SCHEDULED.
Russell Wright, smoker promoter,
has announced another big smoker
to be staged at the Heppner basket
ball pavilion Friday evening, April
30. Harold Ahalt of lone and Pete
Knight of Irrigon will stage the main

for the semi-final bout. Austin
Smith and Judge Carmichael will mix
holds again in the wrestling event,
A long list of preliminaries and fea
tures are also scheduled.

Planes Versus Mosquitos.
Practical Japan.
Always 2,300,000 Sick.
Suzanne's Family.
The marines at Quantico, Va., will
fight mosquitoes this Summer with
flying machines.
Commander McLean will scatter
from planes sawdust soaked in water
containing a little arsenic. It isn't
strong enough to hurt humans, birds,
fishes in fact, it's good tonic for
them.
But it will destroy mosquitoes in
swamps, creeks or stagnant water in
stantly, just as a slap that doe? not
hurt your cheek kills the mosqn'to.
The Government ought to be doing
that work everywhere.
To rid the entire country of mos
quitoes would be worth fifty times
the national debt.
It is said that the Rockerfeller
Foundation, which seeks to PREVENT
DISEASE, rather than to sure indi
viduals, may try the flying machine
mosquito attack. If successful, it
would end yellow fever and malaria
FOREVER.
" While others talk the practical Jap
anese go straight ahead. Recently
they completed a gigantic long dis
tance bombing airplane, so big it
took seven railroad cars to carry it.
Yesterday Japan added to her pow
erful fleet a huge submarine of 2,000
tons, with all the latest devices, in
cluding heavy guns, a war submarine
able to cross any ocean, able to carry
and release flying machines.
While the United States solemnly
discusses beer and the right of citi
zens to select their own beverages,
Japan attends to things more import
ant. Chinese doctors are paid when their
patients are well. No pay when they
are sick. If Uncle Sam could arrange
that for his children he would save
money. Every day there are 2,300,000
sick people "in the United States.
Allow $5 for each lost working day
in these high wage times, and the to
tal would appreciably reduce the na
tional debt.
Worse than the loss of wages is
shortening of life. Colds, that people
neglect or despise, weaken the sys
tem permanently, and cut so many
months from your life at the far end.
Science proves that canned veget
ables retain their full quota of vita
mins. This has been known for a
long time to doctors that gave canned
tomatoes to infants in public insti
tutions, unable to afford fresh orange
juice. The juice of the tomato is
rich in vitamins, which makes it im
portant to include a well-made toma
to soup or canned tomatoes, stewed,
in the regular family diet.
Rev. C. E. Wagner of the Methodist
Episcopal church, says belief in im
mortality is growing feeble. He
knows, undoubtedly, but the state
ment is amazing.
What is worth while if hope of im
mortality be taken away. "The satis
faction of providing for your chil
dren, which is a kind of immortality,"
you may say. What satisfaction is
that, if children in their turn are born
only to die and forever remain dead?
But immortality IS real. Matter
and force are indestructible. Would
the wisdom that controls this uni
verse doom CONSCIOUSNESS, the
light of the soul, to eternal death,
while giving perpetual existence to
force and matter?
Suzanne Lenglen is to be married
and every stirpiculturist, convinced
that the race can be improved by
scientific selection of parents, will be
interested in the French champion's
children.
The happy husband-to-be is Jacques
Brindejones Offenbach, grandson of
Offenbach, who composed the music
for the "Tales of Hoffman," including
the "O Belle Nuit, O Nuit d'Amour"
song.
Madame Lenglen's young man, in
heriting his grandfather's talent, is
a poet of ability. Suzanne Lenglen,
with her marvelous coordination of
mind, nerves and muscles, and her ar
dent temperament should have won
derful children, with the right father.
On the other hand, the children
may not even be able to play tennis.
You can't breed humans by any known
rule.
CREAMERY IS EXPANDING.
The Morrow County Creamery Co.
finished the installation of its new
ice plant this week, and has been kept
busy since turning out the frozen
cubes. A new ice cream freezer has
