HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, Jan. 20, 1927 Subscription $2.00 a Year SPACE LACKING Increase Second Semester Makes Need for Addi tional Class Rooms. PUPILS MOVED OUT First Graders Must be Cared for in Temporary Quarters; Relief Prom ised in New Gym-Auditorium. With the second school semester beginning January 17, and with an in creased enrollment in both high and grade schools, school district No. 1 of Heppncr is facing a hard situation, md the school authorities have been puzzling their heads as to just what to do with the new students. "The crowded building situation has been pressing for sometime, for every available room is" in use, and parts of the hallways are being util ized as storage room for the janitor'i equipment," declares Superintendent liurgess, who makes the following re port: "The 10 or 12 new students can be nbsorbed into hte high school without causing much disturbance, but the mid-year beginners in the primary grades constitute an entirely differ ent class and require a room by them selves, "For some time the board of direc tors and myself have considered rent ing some outside building, but due to ihe fact that such buildings as were vacant wore totally unsuited to school purposes, this plan had to be aban doned. "In order to provide some where to placo the youngsters, a portion of the girl's basement is being parti tioned off and will be U3ed as a class room. "If the normal growth of the Bchool to be cared for, two, and possibly three classrooms must be provided in the near future. The proposed auditorium-gymnasium will take care ol this condition, for two classrooms as well as housing room for the li brary are planned for this building. "In spite of the crowded condition "f the building, I urge all parents to send their children to school, provid ed they are of acceptable age. With holding them until September results in such large classes at that time, that the personal instruction so nec essary in the primary grades is often missed. Even though the building is crowded, provision will be made for incoming pupils." Superintendent Burgess has gjven here an idea of what the district is facing. There is no doubt whatever but that another school year will nee an increase in attendance consid erably above that of this year and there should be some way of meet ing the situation. The need for the auditorium-gymnasium is growing 'Jaily, and as this buildihg will pro vide for additional classrooms, as well as caring for the library and thus releasing another room in the school building proper, it would ap pear to be the remedy in sight. PETE NELSON BURIED HERE. The body of 'Pete Nelson, a resi dent for many years of the lone sec tion,, was laid to rest in Masonic cem etery at Hcppner on Sunday after noon, the funeral being in charge of Willow Lodge No. 66, I. O. 0. F. of this city. Mr. Nelson was about 68 )ears of age, and was a member of 'he Odd Follows at Boulder Creek, Calif., from wjience he came to this county a great many years ago. He has followed fanning in the lone country, owning a piece of land out north of lone. For the past year or so he had been living alone on one cf the farms of Dr. C C. Chick not far from his own land. It is supposed that he had gone out to look after some stock some distance from the house, but had not been missed by his neighbors, by whom he had been seen last on Sunday, Jan. 9. His body was found about noon Thurs day not far from where he had tied his horse to the fence after getting off, and had crawled thruogh the fence when taken by a sudden heart attack and expired. Suspicion of l.eighbors was aroused when his horse came in riderless, and a search was made. Mr. Nelson had died be fore the snow storm of last week as his body, was covered with snow when discovered. Coroner Case was called and took charge of the remains, de ciding that an Inquest was not nec essary. Mr. Nelson had no near rel atives here, except a nephew, Jas. Nelson and his fnmily of Pilot Rock, who came to Hcppner to attend the funeral on Sunday. -He has a brother residing in California. GRAZING HEAVY ON FOREST.

So far as this paper is concerned, the little tempest in a teapot, or theological contest, started by Mr. Phelps in his lectures in this city on the doctrines and practices of the Catholic church, replied to in last issue by Mr. Cantwell, which reply is answered in this issue by Mr. Phelps, is closed. These gen tlemen have now had their say through our columns and our read ers likewise have had their fill. As we are not running a paper for the purpose of trying to settle these controversies, but rather to furnish the local news and to have our part in those matters that pertain to the welfare of the community, we. think we have fulfilled our obligation in this special instance, having treat ed both sides fairly; so the matter may rest so far as we are concerned. P. T. A. Present Zellner on Wednesday Evening Zellner, the Protean Characterise appears in Heppner on next Wednse day vening, in his "Flashes from Life, Literature and History," and his fa mous impersonations fo General Rob ert E. Lee, Abraham Lincoln, King Lear, Judas lscarirt, Theodore Kouse- velt and many characters from life. He is appearing in this program un der the auspices of the Patron-Teach er association, and we are urged to state that this program is for all, and child' en from six years and tip will bo interested and royallv entertain td. Mr. Sigsbee will have reserved scats on sale after Saturday, at 7&c genfrnl admission will be ouc fr.r adults and 80c for -hildrn. Some details of Zellner's program follow: The outstanding feature of Zjl ner's program is that it is a distinct departure from all other forms of dramatic entertainment. He has de veloped and introduced to the plat form a type of entertainment that no other dramajc artist has ever attempted a comp ete theatrical pro d'jilirn in tabloid form. His pro gram is a comedy and dramatic re view, completely costumed, elaborate ly lighted and staged and moving in swift succession through rollicking comedy to as one press comment t uts it, "the loftiest heights of dra ma." , His program is different in tvne fom all forms of character work and should not be classed as such. In a strictly technical sense, his work is not impersonation" but acting. 'Impersonation" bears the same tech nical relationship to acting that pencil-sketching does to portrait paint ing. The one suggests the character by a few touches more or less im pressionistic; the other re-creates t'ne character in all possible realistic detail of action, costume, make-up, ngnting, setting and properties. Zellner's characters are all full length portraits in a wealth of color and realistic detail. His stage setting is a royal disDlav of bule-and-gold silk damask hung witn lopos of gold cord and frineedi vith bullion. An octagonal canopy, suggesting a throne, richly draped ind fringed with gold, and colorfully ngnted rrom within, extends over a low "diaz" upon which the immortal inaracters from history and the scriptures appear. The setting is in keeping with the splendor of the program. The chorus of gasps and bursts of applause from the audience at the first rise of the curtain give evidence of its effectiveness. Snow Storm Arrives Ground Covered 8 Inches The snow storm struck Heppner 'uesday night and continued all day Wednesday, lasting approximately 24 hours. It was not in the form of a hiizzard, but just kept coming stead ily until there was piled up about S inches on the level at this point. We understand that this was about the average for the entire county, and the wheat fields have been sufficiently covered to protect them from any severe freezing weather that may follow. This does not seem to be indicated however, as it has been warm enough today to cause the snow to melt on the house tops. ho far this season, evsry snow that Has come has gradually melted into Ihe ground. The ground was slightly frozen before this last snow, but it should be free from frost after a short time and the ground will be treated to another good soaking. LEGION AUXILIARY MEETS.

POLYGAMY IS TOPIC Guy Fitch Phelps, fundamentalist lecturer, whose meteoric appearance has stirred Heppner for two weeks, has gone. His adieu was made in the form of a debate la3t Tuesday eve ning, when the Methodist church was tilled to capacity. Though many people have taken ex ception to Mr. Phelps' utterances at different times ths debate Tuesday was the only instance of such excep tion taking the form of public oppo sition on the platform. The debate resulted from local people disagree ing with reference made by Mr. I helps to Joseph Smith and his re lation to certain practices in the Mor mon church. Elder A. C. Martin of the reorgan ized church of Latter Day Saints, was called from Canada to defend the stand taken by those disagreeing with Mr. Phelps, and to oppose the ques tion resolved from the discussion. The question arg'ued was "Resolved, that Joseph Smith was the author of polygamy; that he practiced it." Parliamentary rules of argumenta tion were adopted without a judge, one hour being allowed each speaker for presentation of his argument and 20 minutes each for rebuttal. Mr. Phelps, taking the affirmative side cf the question, was the first speak er. Rev. I. V. Parker, Methodist min ister, was timekeeper. Such a preponderance of authority was quoted on both sidse, that it was a task for the audience to weigh it properly. Both speakers attempted to discredit the evidence offered by his opponent. Encyclopedias, bistor ts, court records, Fannie Stenhnpe's "Tell It All," even the congressional record, were produced as evidence. Eat, as there were no judges to do cide the winner on points of argu mentation , it was left to each indiv idual to satisfy himself as to who made the better plea. GIVE DANCING PARTY. James and Louise Thomson, son and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Thomson, were hosts to a number of Ileppne r's younger set on Saturday evening, the time being spent in dancing.

G. Avery Union county with headquarters at La Grande; D, E. Richards, Canyon City, Grant county agent. Last Ore. gonian, ' By A. B. CHAPIN fMPrrV A Judge James A. Fee Victim of Accident Judge James A. Fee of Pendleton was in Heppner on Thursday last to attend' to some legal matters, and on finishing his work late in the after noon began his journey home by way of Heppner Junction. His car left the slippery highway at a point near the Wm. Pedro place below Cecil, taking up over a pile of crushed rock and landing some twenty feet or more beyond, being quite badly damaged by the impact. A traveling man who happened air n assisted Judge Fee to the Pe dro home and Dr. McMurdo was call ed from Heppner to attend him. His njujries consisted of cuts about the head and face and a couple of broken ibs, but he was able to go on to Pendleton later, Mr. Pedro taking him home. Reports received from Pendleton are to the effect that Judge Fee is recovering well from tha in juries and apparently had not been hurt internally. Mr. Nordyke, Seriously Burned, Is Recovering E. Nordyke of Lexington, who was s,o seriously burned ten days ago, while recovering slowly, is progress ing satisfactorily toward that goal at the Heppner Surgical hospital, where he is under the careful attention of Dr. McMurdo and the nurses. Mr. Nordyke, who is 77 years of age,' is bearing up well under the extreme pain and suffering he is called to bear and is offering no complaint. He hopes that in due course of time he will be able to be out of the hospital and return home, but owing to his age and the large area covered by the burns it will be some time yet before it is possible for him to be released. Speaking to the editor of this paper, who called on him Monday afternoon, Mr. Nordyke stated: I have no complaint to make be cause of the accident I suffered, and feel that no one was to blame for my injuries. I am sure that there was no intent on the part of Ernest Smith, whose car I was filtnig at the- time, to not come to my assistance. The fire originated in his oil tank under the front seat, and as his family of wife and three children were in the car his first thought was of them; in fact it developed that he did not know I was on fire from the burning gasoline which I received when the hose was thrown around until his wife called attention to it, and then he rushed to my assistance with a quilt and extinguished the flames. I had, in the meantime, gone into the garage for a fire extinguisher, had secured the first one I came to and dropped it. The fire was coming up in my face, so I reached for another extinguisher near by, and was re turning with this when met by Mr, Smith.- After putting out the fire in .ny clothing, Ernest then took the extinguisher and put out the fire in his car, a Ford. His family had got ten out safely. I don t want anyone to think that I blame Mr. Smith in he least." We wish to state further that it was not the intention of this paper to cast a reflection on Mr. Smith; we did not know whose car Mr. Nordyke was filling at the time of the accident, but what we said in last issue would lead to the impression that the cus tomer paid no attention to the In jured man. Mr. Nordyke stated to us that he was sure from where he stood Mr. Smith did not see him as he was on the opposite side of the gas stand, and it was perfectly natural that he should look to the release of his wifa and children from the burning car. Lou Madden of tha Irrigon project was a visitor here the first of the week. LOCAL NEWS ITEMS J. G. Thomson is recovering from his accident of a few weeks ago when a faulty ladder broke with him, caus ing him to fall some eight feet. He was back in the store Tuesday for the first time since the accident. One leg is still quite stiff, necessitating the use of a cane and crutch but he is in hopes of throwing these into the discard soon. Mr. Thomson said he knew the ladder to be in need of re pairs, having remarked the last time he had used it that it would kill somebody. He asserts that the next time he has cause to mount a ladder he will make sure of its stability. Owing to indisposition on the part of members of the G. T. force this week, t'ne paper was delayed in get ting out. First the "Old Man" had to take a day off with grip, and then, just when needed the worst, Spence took on the flu and had to go to bed, and this left the force short. Newspaper men and printers never plan on being sick, but it happens sometimes that they will fall victims to the afflictions common to man kind. E. C. Stonemna, formerly of this section, was reported to have narrow ly escaped death in an automobile ac cident on the highway between Prai rie City and John Day on Tuesday, when the car he was driving skidded and plunged down a bank, - turning over as it struck a woven wire fence. The car was badly damaged, but Mr. Stoneman, aside from being shaken up considerably, escaped serious in jury, so the report states. Elder A. C. Martin of Seattle, Wash., who met Guy Fitch Phelps in debate at the Methodist church on Tuesday night, was a guest at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. A.' Minor while in the city. Mr. Martin is from that part of the state of Iowa where i'. E. Notson lived as a boy and get ting together they found that they were well tcquainted with many of the same people, though the gentle men had never met before. We failed to mention in last issue the visit to Heppner of Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Wilkins of Somoa, Calif., and Creston Maddock of Los Angeles, who came to the city on Saturday evening following the funeral of the late Eli Maddock, father of Mrs. Wilkins and Creston, at Arlington. They came op ith some of the friends who attend ed the burial from here, and in the evening took the train out, returning to their homes, Guy Nordyke arrived from Seattle the first of the week to be at the bed side of his father, Emanuel Nordyke of Lexington, who is a patient at Heppner Surgical hospital, recover ing from serjous injuries as a re sult of being burned. Latest reports are to the effect that the elder Mr. Nordyke is slowly recovering and his burns are healing well. Dr. McMurdo reports the birth of a nine pound girl to,Mr. and Mrs. Troy Bogard of Eight Mile, born at the maternity home of Mrs. M. Jor dan in- lone on Sunday, January 1G. In this city on Wednesday, January 1!-, at the maternity home of Mrs. G. C. Aiken, to Mr. and Mrs. Everett Vanderhoof of Heppner, an eight pound daughter. Jos. W. Kirschner, erstwhile sur veyor for Morrow county, departed on Thursday night last for his old home town of Monroe, Mich. Joe has been a fixture at the court house for several years and during his sojourn made many friends whom he bade a personal farewell. This paper joins in wishing him success m his new and old home. Born Friday, January 14 to Mr. and Mrs. Walter Rood of this city, twin boys, weighing 6 and 3 pounds. The latter infant was called by death early Sunday morning and laid to rest in the cemetery on the hill. The other child and its mother are re ported to be doing well. Miss Mary Clark of this city, stu dent at the Universitw of Oregon, has been pledged to Mu Phi Epsilon, wo men's national honorary musical fra ternity, according to word received from Eugene this week. Miss Clark is majoring in music at the univer sity. Wm. Bergstrom of Eight Mile came near severing the thumb of his left hand while splitting wood Saturday. The muscles and tendons werj cut and required several stitches to re pair, so reports Dr. Johnston who attended him. The following births are reported by Dr. Johnston: To Mr. and Mrs. Chuck Bottmiller of Rock Creek, Sun day, Jan. 16, a nine pound boy; to Mr. and Mrs. A. Taylor, near Olex on Friday, January 14, a 10 pound daughter. County Judge Patterson has been in Baker this week. His brother Otis Patterson has been in the hospital at Baker for the past three months and is still quite seriously ill. Can yon City Eagle. Charles Ayers, who has been confin ed at the Morrow General hospital, suffering an attack of influenza, was able to return home the first of the week. Mr. and Mrs. Mike Rowell of Rhea creek visited the city on Monday. They report weather conditions good in their section, with plenty of moi sture. County Clerk Anderson is absent in Salem this week, where the interests of the clerks of the state are being promoted by proposed legislation. Milt Maxwell, postmaster of Eight Mile was brought to Morrow General hospital yesterday, suffering serious ly from high, blood pressure. Jerry Kilcup is reported to be quite Hi at his home near Lena, suffering an attack of influenza. Mrs. Frank Engclman of lone was a visitor in this city for a short time on Monday. IHsWeelt By Arthur Brubane Soldiers Follow Loans? Laugh Month. Just Spoiled. She Flattened Him. Senator Shipstead, of Minnesota, hasn't been in Washington long enough to know what respectable leg islators owe to high finance, and will investigate American bankers' loans to South American countries, includ ing Nicaragua. Investigating such loans might explain landing of Uni ted States troops here and there. Troops sometimes go where loans go. Senator Shipstead says Americans made a seven million dollar loan to Nicaragua in 1912, during a conserva tive regime. That would be seven million good reasons for American in tervention to keep Nicaragua Liberals from kicking out a Government that they don't want, as this country did in 1776. All of those private loans to South American republics, like loans that some of our bankers are making in Europe, are dangerous, especially when, as is usual, they are thoroughly USURIOUS loans. Dr. Charlotte Le Galiere Davenport, charming lady who lectures on health, looks about forty, and is actually 102 years old. The lady has Russian and French blood, both good for long life. And, moat important, she weighs 120 pounds. Your body is an irrigation farm. Your heart the pump. Your blood the water. A light body calls for light pumping, making the heart's work easier. Cut down your weight, wisely, and add. to your life. Every added pound means more work for the heart. The month of January, 1927, in which good resolutions are now ooz ing away, is to be "national laugh month." Moving picture potentates and others have decided and arranged it. Americans are to laugh, and thus keep up their "morale." It would be better to locate laugh month in December. For looking back over eleven months of much promise, much resolving and little perform ance, laughing would be easy. There is such a thing as overdo ing laughing, for laughing is like smoking. When you do either, you don't think. And what the American people need is more THINKING. J. N. Moore, University of Illinois sophomore, wrote, before killing him self, "it raises the devH with me to think of having to slave around and work like the devil and just grow old. I can't see the idea of wading through school, then dash bravely ont and get a big old job at a hundred a month." In six words of his letter the young man explains what is really the mat ter with him, "I am just spoiled, I suppose." If all the spoiled children in this foolish country committed suicide, there would not be enough graveyards. Mrs. Katherine Trilling, on trial for murden in Denver, married Herman Trilling, in New York, when tubercu losis had reduced him to 90 pounds weight. She worked in tailor shops to pay his expenses at a sanitarium for consumptives, then sold her fur niture and everything she had, raised a thousand dollars and took him to Colorado to save his life. She says she shot him by accident. The prosecuting attorney says she shot' him purposely in the back be cause she was jealous. What do you suppose the jury will say? Mr. Bruce, Australian Premier, says we are too modest in this coun try that's quite a surprise and we ought to tell the world what wonder ful things we have done and are do ing. "1 do not suppose there is a country on the civilized globe more misunderstood and unjustly villified than the United States." says he. The Australian Premier knows that men do not like their creditors, es pecially when they don't intend to pay. And the United States does not need god will propaganda among other nations as much as it needs the right kind of fighting air fleet and other equipment for defense, and ret ribution. "IF WEATHER PERMITS" Will Pedro who is here from his ranch at Cecil on Willow creek says lambing will commence on his sheep ranch on February 1 "if weather per mits." Just what he will do about the matter if the weather is unfav ciable Mr. Pedro does not say but he is open to suggestions. Meanwhile he is making preparations for the new arrivals. East Oregonian.
