CIVIL CASES SETTLED
Kelly and Adklns Found Not Guilty ;
Bauer Jury Disagrees ; J one Case
Referred Back to Grand Jury.
The adjourned term of circuit court J
came to rather an abrupt ending late
Tuesday evening, following an order
dismissing the jurors immediately af
ter the close of the case of State vs.
Cleve Adkins. The jury in the case
of State vs. Henry Bauer, which went
to the jury room late Monday eve
ning, deliberated all day Tuesday, and
after being out some twenty-four
hours and failing to agree, they so re
ported to the court and were dis
charged. It is understood that this
jury stood Ave for conviction and sev
en for acquital. A few civil cases,
wherein motions were filed and de
crees taken, constituted all the other
business that came up for considera
tion, and the time was consumed dur
ing last week and until the middle of
Tuesday afternoon in fighting out the
four criminal cases brought to issue.
The case of the State vs. John Kel
ly was given to the jury early Thurs
day evening last, and by 10 o'clock
they had arrived at their verdict. The
prosecutrix in this case was Evangel
ine Dexter, and Kelley was charged
vith a statutory offense. The jury
deliberated about two hours and re
turned their verdict of not guilty,
following which the defendant was
discharged and his bondsmen exoner
ated. The jury in this case was com
posed of Sam J. Turner, Mrs. Nina
Biddle, -T. E. Broyles, Roy Stender,
Mrs. Ruth MaBon, Louis Balsiger, Mrs.
Eppa Ward, Frank S. Parker, J. 0.
Archer, Andrew Olson, T. E. McDan
del and A. W. Gemmell.
The jury chosen in the case of State
vs. Henry Bauer was W. H. Cleveland,
T. E. McDandel, Robert Allstott, J. E.
Crabtree, E. E. Rugg, Olaf Bergstrom,
Win. Swanson, J. C. Owen, Mrs. G. II.
Hayden, B. B Kelley, J. O. Archer,
and Roy Stender Bauer was defend
ed by Messrs. Collier, Van Vactor and
Sweek, and the prosecution was In
charge of District Attorney Notson,
assisted by G. L. Hedges.
A directed verdict in the case of
State vs. Adkins was ordered upon
motion of attorney for defense, jas.
A. Fee, after the state had presented
its evidence, and this was returned,
finding the defendant not guilty.
Grounds for tho motion were: That
the evidence submitted by the State
showed that all witnesses testifying
were accomplices in the commission
of the crime charged and their testi
mony had not been corroborated by
other evidence tending to connect the
defendant with the crime.
The jury drawn in this case was
Mrs. Nora Hogue, Mrs. Sadie Sigsbee,
Guy Huston, Mrs. Rota M. Oviatt,
Sam J. Turner, James Hardosty, Mrs.
Ruth Mason, Ernest Cannon, Chris
Brown, Walter Rood, T. E. Broyles

Near East Relief Work
Receives Good Support
Miss Marie Nadelhoffer who spent
a week in Morrow county in behalf
of the Near East Relief, reported gen
erous contributions from our citizens
and institutions. Three Heppner
school teachers pledged $100 for the
support of one orphan for a year, and
the Episcopal and Methodist churches
each raised amounts sufficient to do
likewise. The benefit show at the
Star theater Saturday morning net
ed 118 cans of milk.
Miss Nadelhoffer spoke at the Lex
ington Congregational church Sunday
night and at Hardman Monday night,
receiving generous contributions at
each place. The Lexington church
took an orphan to care for one year.
Wm. Meidinger, school principal, con
ducted the Hardman meeting and Rev.
I. V. Parker, Methodist minister of
this city, delivered a sermon. Miss
Nadelhoffer departed for Portland
Tuesday morning, feeling well pleas
ed with the kind treatment and gen
erous contributions accorded her here.
LENA-VINSON ROAD
TO BE SURFACED AT
EARLY DATE, PLAN
State Highway Commission Will Let
Contract for Work at Their
October 25 Meeting.
East Oregonian.
Contract for surfacing the last re
maining uncompleted stretch of high
way between Pendleton and Heppner
will be let at the October 25 meeting
of the state highway commission at
Portland, it was learned here today.
Vhe road to be surfaced is knowr as
the Lena-Vinson stretch of 15 and a
half miles and with its completion
this winter the road from Pendleton
to Heppner, a distance of 60 miles,
will be in excellent traveling condi
tion. Work it is believed will start on
the fifteen mile stretch within 30 days
after the contract has been let by the
state highway commission. Plans for
oiling the highway between Pendle
ton and Vinson are also under way,
according to County Judge Schnnnep.
This work wlil be done by the state
and will not be actually undertaken
until spring. However, the state is
ow preparing to let the contract for
providing the fine gravel needed dur
ing the oiling process.
Presumably the entire Oregon-
Washingotn highway will be oiled af
ter the Lena-Vinson gap has been sur
faced.
Representative Explains
Ford 5-Day Work Plan
Calling the editor's attention to an
editorial printed in the columns of
the Heppner Gazette Times last week,
which he declared was a gross mis
statement of fact, J. S. Cooper, dis
trict represenative of the Ford Motor
company from Portland, explained
this morning what he said was the
real reason for the new Ford plan of
a five-day work week. The editorial
referred to is "Another Ford Fallacy,"
and was received by this newspaper in
a news service put out by the Publish
ers' Autocaster Service.
The five-day week is a fundamental
policy of Mr. Ford's, Mr. Cooper said.
It is effective not only in the construc
tion end of his business but in the
distribution end as well. The Port
land division is now operating on the
fame basis as the big Ford factories.
Mr. Ford adopted the plan because he
believed it economically sound, and
not because of any slump in business.
That there has been no slump is in
dicated by the fact that Ford sales
already in 1926 have, surpassed the
total sales of 1925, and that Mr. Ford's
belief is borne out is substantiated
by production figures that show as
many cars being turned out under the
new system as under the old six-day
week plan.
under the old system, Mr. Cooper
explained, the time of the man em
ployed in the cities was practically
11 taken up by his work. Leaving
his job at 6 o'clock in the evening, by
the time he could get home and
change clothes it was near 7 o'clock,
permitting him to Bpend little time
with his family or for amusements.
Only one day was" left for the home
owner to do necessary work at home,
work similar to that required of him
the other six days. Therefore, little
or no time could actually be counted
for rest or recreation. The new plan
is designed to give employees one day
for work at home and one day for
recreation. The added efficiency made
possible in employees by this day of
lecreation, plus the speeding up of
machinery is responsible for keeping
production on the same level it was
previously.
If the five-day week were to be
adopted universally, It would be a big
boost to business generally, believes
Mr. Cooper. The extra economic
goods used by the workingmen in the
extra day off work would create larger
demands, forcing the factories to
greater output This in turn would
provide more jobs and better wages,
besides bringing about better manu
facturing methods.
LEGION ENTERTAINS AUXILIARY.
Heppner Post No. 87, Amerigan Le
gion, entertained for the Auxiliary at
Legion headquarters Tuesday evening.
The early part of the session was
taken up with a joint business meet

which several novel features of en
tertainment were put through under
the guidance of P. M. Gemmell, head
of the Legion committee. Prizes
were given the winners in the differ
ent events and bountiful refresh
ments were served.

Radio Address of Last Wednesday
Makea Position Clear; Feels E.
O. Report Misstates Position.
(Pendleton East Oregonian, Oct. 18)
Portland, Ore., Oct. 17, 1926.
Editor East Oregonian:
My attention has been called to a
news story appearing in your issue
of October 16th, under a headline
"Steiwer classed as against McNary
bill." In this news story it is stated
that I am unfavorable to "the Mc
Nary ideas of arm relief" and- that
this information is in accordance with
a news story in the Portland Oregon
ian. It is also stated that the news
story is a Portland dispatch to the
New York Sun. Your article then sets
forth the dispatch referred t.o
The whole story is misleading. The
dispatch quoted in the Oregonian did
not go forward to the New York Sun
as stated in the East Oregonian, but
was a dispatch sent to the New York
Times by a special correspondent of
that paper who was in Oregon last
week. The New York Times is the
leading democratic newspaper in
America. The correspondent who
sent the dispatch had no interview
with me.
There is no reason for misunder
standing as to my attitude upon the
subject of farm relief and there is no
misunderstanding among those who
desire to know the truth. Among the
active workers for farm relief lgisla
lation in Oregon are Senator Mc
Nary, Congressman Sinnott and our
former representative, A. R. Shum
vay, all of whom are supporting me
in this election.
Upon last Wednesday evening in a
radio address I reiterated my position
upon this subject and restated my
views as I had stated them before the
primary election. I am taking the
liberty to enclose to you herewith,
the radio address referred to and will
be indebted if you will have it pub
lished in the East Oregonian and give
it as favorable a position in your pa
per as you have given to the erron
eous story of yesterday.

KGW Address, Oct. 13, 1926.
To the Voters of Oregon:
I am addressing you tonight as the
republican candidate for United
States senator and in order that my
hearers may not grow impatient for
something more entertaining, I will
undertake to conclude in ten minutes.
One of the great subjects confront
ing Oregon and the West is that of
relief for agriculture. In order that
you may know that it is not presump
tuous for me to discuss this subject, I
will begin by saying that it is one in
which I have long been interested. I
was born, raised and partially educat
ed upon a farm in Oregon. Since I
have lived in Pendleton I have en
gaged in a substantial way in raising
wheat. I have had some experience in
the livestock industry. As an attor

are numbered among my clients. I

Beloved Airedale Faithful
To Last Order of His Master
Of all kind words of tongue or pen,
no kinder words can be said, indeed,
than these: He died in the service of
his master,
King was sent over the creek bank
to retrieve a bird. Unhesitatingly,
he went, without ever a semblence of
weariness displayed by s muscle of
his shaggy airedale body. He carried
it out of the water, and then, as if
the load were too much for him to
carry, dropped his bnrden and laid
at length on his belly before it, rest
ing his head on his outstretched fore
legs, i
His master called, "O King! come
n with that bird."
The faithful dumb brute rolled his
eyes under lifted eyebrows, then
slowly raised the hulk of his chubby
body, as if trying his legs to maks
sure they would stand his weight.
He again picked up ehe bird and
with lowered head drug it a few feet.
But, involuntarily, his legs collapsed
beneath him, and he was unable to
move.
The master, impatient at King's
seeming misbehavior, went to the
creek bank to reprimand him, a fel
low hunter by his Bide.
"He's all in, Bert," said Bub, the
fellow hunter, when the sight below
the bank met their gaze.. Bub de
scended and took the bird from the
dog's mouth. Whereupon King again
i rose, and, being relieved of his bur
den, found himself able to carry his
own weight to the top of the bank
where he was once more forced to
lay down.
Recognizing that Bob was right,
Bert took off his coat and covered hie
shaggy old friend, proceeding to mas
sage him to stimulate heart action.
King, with tight set jaws, lifted gaze,
and drooping ears, depicted all the
pain, appreciation, guilt and plea for
mercy possible for one brute coun
tenance to express. Then, without
warning, he lifted his head, opened
his mouth, emitted a sorrowful,
"O-o-o-w-o-w-o-o-o," and laid still
dead.
King was the faithful and beloved
pet of Mr. and Mrs. B. P. Stone. Hav
ing been reared Bince a pup in Hepp
ner, he was widely and favorably
known by many people in these
parts. His demise occurred Sunday,
the opening day of the Chinese phea
sant season, at the age of seven
years, in the course of a hunt with
Mr. Stone, E. E. "Bub" Clark, and a
party of sportsmen, Heart failure
was the cause of death..
The fine Airedale was popular be
cause of his mild disposition and his
WANTS HOSPITAL.
W. H. French of Hardman believes
he has an ideal locaion for the East
ern Oregon Tuberculosis hospital
should it be authorized by the voters
of the state on November 2, as he
thinks it should be. Mr. French de
clares a tubercular patient was once
taken care of for the winter at his
place, who did remarkably well there.
He attributed the gain in health to
the high altitude, right at 4000 feet,
end beneficial water, said to be high
in sulphur and magnesium content.
When the Heppner-Spray highway is
completed through, joining the cen
tral Oregon and Oregon-Washington
highways, the location will be highly
accessible. Mr. French said he would
gladly donate an acre of land for the
site, and would sell additional need
ed ground at a reasonable figure.

many accomplishments, largely the
result of Mr. Stone's training He is
believed to have been one of the best
all-round dogs ever owned la Hepp
ner, showing at times almost human
characteristics.
Citing King's ability as a bird dog,
it is said that Sunday morning he
flushed seven pheasants from a field
that immediately previous had been
hunted by five other dogs. It is also
said to his credit that he never failed
to retrieve a bird for which he was
sent.
One can readily appreciate tne nat
ural sorrow of the Stones over the
loss of King when such facts concern
ing the dog's worth are learned.
Besides being a good hunter for
cither birds, deer or other large game,
king was an ideal watchdog. Though
on the best of terms with everyone
who treated him right in the daytime,
he would let no one enter the Stone
premises in an irregular manner at
night. This was shown on several
occasions, of which the following is
an instance:
Marshall Devin was one of King's
best friends. Looking to the dog's
welfare, he had on several occasions
taken meat from the dog which he be
lieved to have been poisoned. Still,
one night when Mr. Devin attempted
tc enter the back yard of the Stone
property to get' a bottle of booze that
had been thrown there, King would
not let nim in though the marshall
used every means coming to mind to
make the Airdale understand. He
had no trouble getting the bottle the
following morning, however.
King seemed to understand many
hings his master and mistress said
to him. When Mrs. Stone told him
to get some wood, he would do so,
though he would quit with the third
or fourth stick and Mrs. Stone would
not urge him further. The pet was let
into the house in winter time, and
when bedtime came at the mention
of "Bedtime, King," he would scurry
on to the clcthes closet and return
with the Stones' bed slippers. Be
fore letting go of the last slipper,
however, he would shake it and play
with it for several minutes, showing
iiis reluctance to part company with
his friends.
King was a fighter when necessity
demanded, making his superiority in
Heppner dogdom felt on many occa
sions when his good nature was im
posed upon too far. It is said of him,
however, that he never picked a fight.
Though King may soon be forgotten
by the Heppner public, his memory
will long be reveTed by the many
sportsmen whose lot it has been to
hunt over him.
A PROCLAMATION.
In years past it has been the cus
tom of Hallowe'en celebrators to move
pnd otherwise destroy property, both
public and private; also the habit of
placing obstructions in the streets
and highways which endanger life in
this day of automobiles. Believing
such customs should not be tolerated,
I, E. G. Noble, Mayor of the City of
Heppner, do hereby proclaim every
property owner and householder
clothed with police authority to make
arrest of anyone committing such vio
lations in their presence, and surren
der such party or parties so arrested
to the police authority of the city.
This is not a privilege but a duty you
should perform.

Driving Out Labor.
Russia's Friendship.
Hunting the Flea.
Pout, Sniff, Look Alive.
Mr. Green, able, conservative and
respected head of the American Fed
eration of Labor, was invited to speak
before the Young Men's Christian As
sociations in Detroit, then told that
liis speech could not be delivered in
that institution. Labor leaders were
asked to speak from various Detro.t
pulpits, then told the churches did not
want them.
There may be good reasons for
these sudden changes. But Christ,
who drove the money changers from
the. Temple, might be surprised to
see his modern representatives driv
ing laboring men from the pulpits.
It looks, accroding to the union
men, as though money changers were
on top once more.
In a little while Queen Marie of
Rumania, with her pretty daughter,
will be dining at the White House.
The Queen will be able to tell her
husband that she met one American
that did not insist on talking about
himself. H. G. Wells says that is
our trouble, you know.
If the Queen will take a sheet of
paper as big as a playing card she
will be able to write on it all that
the President will have to say, be-
J ond politely answering direct ques
tions. But when the interview is over the
President will know a good deal about
Rumania. He believes in listening,
: nd that's one reason why he is Pres
ident. Professor Jerome Davis, of Yale,
reports an interesting talk with Sta
lin, he real ruler in Russia. Stalin
says Russia is willing to pay the
money that foolish American bankers
Unt to Kerensky. Stalin really should
do nothing of the kind. Those child-
u-h bankers grabbing at usurious in
terest rates and discounts, ought to
digest that lesson.
They are now lending billions of
the American people's money to var
ious concerns in Europe. Many of
fhose billions will never come back.
However, that's another atorv. The
important point made by Stalin is
that it might pay the United States
to be friendly with Russia. Stalin
said, "Russia now needs the United
States. Possibly the day might come
when the United States might need
Kussias friendship."
The Pan-American health confer
ence declares war on the bubonie
plague flea, from the Arctic to the
Antarctic.
This means killing rats, ground
squirrels, flea bearing creatures of
all sorts. Samples of fleas captured
will be sent in for identification.
Nothing permanent, however, will
be done until man completes his con
quest of the globe by removing from
't, mercifully, all animal life other
than his own.
The gaping crocodile from whose
gums and tongue the tsetse fly ex
tracts the germs of sleeping sickness,
must go, also dear little pussy, that
carries diphtheria germs in its fur to
the little girl's face.
The latest beauty cult, must come
here. It says: "Work all the mus
cles of your face, keep young, retain
your alert appearance. Pout your
lips to make them handsome and full.
Roll your eyes frequently and SNIFF.
Sniff violently, forming wrinkled
ridges on the bridge of the nose. Move
your eyebrows up and down. Only a
dead face, with no muscular action in
it becomes an old face.
That advice is taken literally by in
habitants of the monkey cage. They
do all that the beauty cult suggests.
Our ancestors, apelike, did the same
until language was invented. As men
became civilized they used words in
stead of gestures and twitching faces.
A man sneering still uncovers hi j
canine tooth, getting it ready to bite
without cutting his lip, as do the ba
boon and wolf. But the calm face is
the higher type. Compare the Venus
