BIG TET TO DRAW

Tickets Selling Fast for
5-Day Chautauqua
Program.
PLAYS ARE FEATURE
"The Family Upstairs" Comes First;
Every Number Comes Well
Recommended.
Heppner's 1927 Chautauqua opens
Tuesday evening under the big tent
to be erected just off Main on Center
street, on the lot known as the city
feed lot.
The demand for season tickets,
placed on sale this week, gives evi
dence of a large crowd, people expect
ing to be present from all parts of the
county. For greater convenience in
securing these tickets they have been
placed on sale at lone, Lexington,
Hardman and Irrigon besides the fol
lowing business houses in Heppner:
the postoftice, Phelps Grocery Co.,
Buhn's, Prophet's, Hiatt St Dix, and
M ra f?ilrrn'n
People living out of the city may
have tickets reserved for thm by
phoning any of these places. The
tickets are to be paid for June 7.
There need be no fear of fresh oil
on the highway or city streets as
word received by George Bleakman
from the state highway department
gives assurance that no further oil
is to be put on in this vicinity until
the 15th of the month. But, in case
it is decided to do oiling before then,
there need be no fear anyway, as the
next oiling will be covered immediate
ly with sand, protecting traffic effi
ciently. Miss Verona Hull, local Chautauqua
superintendent, is expected to arrive
in the city June 6, two days before
the opening, to complete all prepar
r.tions for a good start.
The program has been so arranged
that one of the very best numbers
comes first. "The Family Upstairs" is
a nation-wide play hit to be present
ed by one of the best professional
casts available, is the word received
from Chautauqua headquarters, and
everything should be done to impress
upon everyone the exceptional enter
tainment opportunity offered in this
number. The play is full of clean,
wholesome, real American comedy,
and takes a full two hours for its
presentation.
Wednesday afternoon and evening
Beek's Music Land Entertainers offer
two programs replete with a variety
of selections expected to appeal to
all tastes. The company consists of
two artists, Mr. and Mrs. William
Beek, both of whom are talented mu
sicians, vocal and instrumental, and
good readers as well. You'll like thiB
jolly couple, the Chautauqua people
say.
In the evening also comes Raymond
B. Tolbert with what is acknowledged
one of the leading lectures of the
day, "The Roots of the Republic."
Not a dry discourse on a hackneyed
topic. Mr. Tolbert is a real orator,
and gives much food for thought
about things that the average citizen
thinks little about.
Thursday afternoon comes a double
program and one certainly not to be
overlooked. Besides the "Maids '0
Dundee," five charming young ladies
with a fresh Scottish lineup, F. M.
Price will describe "America in 2927."
His address is not pure imagination,
it is taken from years of research in
economics, sociology and kindred sub
jects and is a near revelation. The
"Maids '0 Dundee" hold the stage
alone in the evening, and what more
need be said than five pretty lassies
in kilts, talented musicians everyone,
and loaded to the hilt with new and
clever Scottish songs, dunces and
skits. They are instrumentalists as
well as vocalists and the variety they
have to olTer should satiate the most
discriminating tastes.
The Pollard Players come with a
unique dramatic offering Friday af
ternoon. Their program is of a light
er order and pleasing to the extreme.
Then another big play hit in the eve
ning, "Believe Me Xantippe." A story
of adventure, the play, acted by top
notch professionals, is one which ap
peals to Americans of all ages and
tastes.
And to cup the climax, the Loveless
Twins Quartette have the last day
nil to themselves and when you hear
them you will be sorry there aren't
more days, according to word preced
ing them. Twin brothers married to
twin sisters compose the company.
They were chautuuqua headliners in
the east for four years and could still
be if they wanted to. With voices
well harmonized these charming
people give a varied entertainment,
spiced with clever comedy throughout.
They give classical and popular se
lections equally well, and give plenty
of each.
The local committee are completing
preparations for the thorough enter
tainment of visitors, and they extend
a warm invitation to everyone to take
advantage of the between-season lull
for a worthwhile and well reserved
vacation from June 7 to 11 in Hepp

LARGE CROWD H
MEMORIAL DAY
OBSERVED WITH
TWO PROGRAMS
Addresses by Rev. Moore and
Prof. Burgess Feature Services
on Sunday and Monday.
The union services in honor of Me
morial Sunday were well attended and
the seating capacity of the Methodist
church was taxed to the limit by the
people of the city who had gathered
to listen to the sermon delivered by
Rev. Stanley Moore of All Saints'
Episcopal church. A union choir fur
nished the music and several special
numbers were given. Members of
the G. A. R., Spanish War veterans,
W. R. C. and other organizations were
present and the minds of all were
directed to sacred memories. The
address of Mr. Moore was along lines
that stirred the spiritual and patriot
ic sentiments and he brought a splen
did message.
On Memorial Day the business
houses of Heppner closed, and at
10:30 the Star theater was filled by
an attentive audience that had gath
ered to hear the program of the day.
The stage was beautifully decorated
in the national colors and -Spencer
Crawford, commander of Heppner
Post No. 87, presided. Prayer was
offered by Milton W. Bower, the au
dienec sang Star Spangled Banner,
and P. M. Gemmell read General Lo
gan's Memorial Day orders. "This
Cay We Remember" was sung by a
ladies quartet composed of Grace
Buschke, Elsie Cowins, Helen Cohn
and Elizabeth Phelps.
The address of the day was deliv
ered by Supt. James M. Burgess, a
Legionaire, who greatly surprised a
large number in the audience by his
splendid ability as a public speaker;
a few had heard Mr. Burgess before
and were prepared to listen to what
they knew would be a worthwhile dis
course. Mr. Burgess dwelt to some
extent on the points of history per
taining to those organizations of the
soldiers following the Revolution, the
Civil War and other wars, showing
what an important part they had play
ed in the making of the country,
dwelling particularly on the Grand
Army of the Republic, whose fast
thinning ranks are making that or
ganization one of history, the speaker
took up the more recent organization
of the soldiers of the Great War, the
American Legion, giving a resume of
what has already been accomplished
in the few years of its existence and
cataloguing some of the cardinal prin
ciples of Americanism for which this
jounger army of veterans stands.
Ihe Legion is moving forward to the
tusk of eliminating illiteracy in this
ration, an evil in the body politic
that is a real menace to a republican
form of government; the Legion hopes
that ere another decade has passed
this Will be overcome. They are
standing firmly for the restriction of
immigration, and have been able to
do something toward curbing the
great influx of undesirable citizens to
the United States. Many other points
were made by the speaker along the
line of what can be expected of the
American Legion, and it is quite cer
tain that the people of this commun
ity have a better understanding of
the aims and objects of this great
body of young American manhood.
The Misses Mary and Patricia Mon
ahan sang beautifully the duet, "I
Am a Pilgrim," and Mr. Bower pro
nounced the benediction,.
The musical numbers on this pro
gram were accompanied at the piano
oy Mrs. waiter Moore.
Following the program at the thea
ter, a very large number proceeded
to the cemetery where the graves of
the departed soldiers were appro
priately decorated under the direction
of the W. R. C.
The American Legion Post, the Aux
iliary, W. R. C, and Girl Reserves
uttended the exercises in a body, but
only two of the G. A. R, veterans
were able to be present.

Heppner ball fans were treated to
good games the first of the week.
Sunday the locals took Condon into
camp 6-5, and Monday they lost to
lone 9-4. The lone game did not
count in the league standings. In its
league game Sunday, lone Won from
Arlington 9-1.
Heppner took the jump on Condon
Sunday and with a five-run lead in
the fifth, got a bit careless. Condon
took advantage of the situation and
evened the score with two in the sixth
r.nd three in the seventh. But the
locals were not to be denied. Hold
ing Condon scoreless in their trip at
bat in the ninth, Heppner's lads
stepped up and clouted four straight
hits for the winning run.
Both teams were clouting the ball
hard, Heppner taking 15 hits off
Clow, and the visitors 10 off Drake.
"Pern" Brown got some much-desired
revenge against Pitcher Drake when
he got a circuit drive in the sixth.
His only regret was that the bases
were empty at the time. Paul Aiken
came near duplicating Brown's act,
but was forced to stop at third. D.
Ashenfelter got the only other three-
base bingle.
In Monday's game, Heppner tasted
defeat for the second time this sea
son. The lone boys were still wrathy
over the two defeats handed them by
Heppner and had blood in their eyes.
They got off to a bad start, however,
when singles by Aiken and Clow fol
lowed by Drake's three-bagger net
ted Heppner two runs. In the third
trip up they succeeded in tying the
local lead, and in the fatal fourth
sewed up the game via Cochran's
home run with the bases loaded. One
more run in the sixth and two in the
seventh completed their scoring,
while Heppner succeeded in nabbing
a couple in the sixth.
Van Marter's stick wag missed from
both games, he being in Eugene at
tending the big trap shoot. Little
complaint was found, however, at the
way Harold Erwin covered the second
sack for him.
'Kewpie" Clow of Condon, who
substituted at third Monday for Gay
AnderBon who was out on account of
injuries, did his part in all depart
ments, hitting a double and a single
and fielding a 1000 per cent.
Heppner will play at Arlington next
Sunday and Condon will play at lone.

brands, as provided by one of the new
laws, and a brand directory, the own
ership of any lot of cattle may be
quickly determined. Those in charge
or the driving or moving of such ani
mals must hereafter be in possession
of an owners of shipper's brand
statement, giving the number and
kind, sex, brands and flesh marks on
each animal, the name and address
of the owner and the person trans
porting the stock and the consignee,
certifying that he is the owner.
The Oregon brand recording law
has been in existence for 12 years,
but dead brands have resulted be
cause there has never been a re-recording
law. Because of this situation
those engaged in organized thieving
were making good use of the old
brands, so the Oregon Cattle and
Horse Raisers association asked for
the brand re-recording law. A three
months period, dating from May 28
to September 1 of this year, will be
given in which to have all brands
re-recorded. All brands that are not
re-recorded before September 1 will
be declared abandoned and will be
subject to being re-recorded in an
other's name. The re-recording fee is
$1.00.
A dozen or more bills were intro
duced looking to the protection of
range livestock and six of them were
passed. Others not passed would, in
the opinion of the range men, have
been of greater benefit to the live
stock men of Eastern Oregon, but
they were opposed by the legislators
from the agricultural districts, par
ticularly of Western Oregon.
LITTLE DAUGHTER DIES.
The infant daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Kenneth Kisler was called by
death early Monday morning, follow
ing an illness which attacked the
child on Saturday. Mary Louise was
about two months of age and had
been a delicate child from birth. The
illness seemed to be caused from
derangement of the digestive organs.
She was the granddaughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Pete Prophet, and the young par
ents and grandparents are heartbro
ken over her death. Funeral services
were held at the cemetery on Mon
dny afternoon at 2:30, Milton W.
Bower, pastor of the Christian church,
officiating, and the little body com
mitted to the grave in a simple ser
vice. The sympathy of the commun
ity goes out to Mr. and Mrs. Kistler
in this bereavement
HEPPNER LOSES CUP.
The trap squad from Heppner Rod
and Gun club finished in sixth place
in the shoot-off match of the Ore
gonian state telegraphic trapshooting
tournament at Eugene Saturday. Co
quille took the shoot, thus entitling
them to the loving eup on display
here the past year. Those shooting
for Heppner were Chas. Latourell,
Chas. Vaughn, Albert Bowker, Dr.
A. D. McMurdo and L. Van Marter.
Latourell and McMurdo tied for high
on the local squad with 96 dead birds
out of 100 each. Vaughn broke 93,
Bowker 92, and Van Marter 88. Other
Heppner shooters present at the
shoot were L. Gilliam, F. Shively and
Earl Warner. All returned the first
of the week.
ELECTRIC COMPANY MOVES.
Sherman Electric company moved
to their new office and store rooms
on Main street the first of the week,
and are now established there for the
transaction of business. Mr. Pruyn,
local manager, states that all bills
can be paid at this office now, as the
office at the power plant has been
closed.

Before General Mitchell was put
out of Army flying, for telling un
pleasant truths, he had under way
plans for a giant flier, with wheels
twenty feet high, that could take a
running start over fences and tree
trunks.
And this week Professor Rumpler,
head of a German airplane company,
announced plans for a plane, many
times the size of any ever built, to
carry many engines, and cross the
Alantic in sixteen hours, carrying 170
passengers. .
Transatlantic flight will soon be
commonplace, but the little machine
must show the way, as did Columbus's
little boats.
Miss Spencer, seventy years old,
rode to work at the Treasury Depart
ment and back on a bicycle, saved and
made more than $100,000. She leaves
small sums to relatives and the bal
ance $100,000 for a tombstone. Rel
atives object, the court is asked to
decide.
The foolish waste should be forbdi-
den. But it is interesting to think of
that old Treasury clerk pushing her
bicycle back and forth, meditating
on the grand figure that she would
cut in death with her $100,000 tomb,
she, who in life had been only a $1,-
200 year spinster clerk. Happiness is
largely imagination.
It is suggested unofficially that Mr.
Hughes, formerly Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court, will be chosen by
Governor Fuller of Massachusetts as
head of a commission to investigate
the Sacco-Vanzetti case.
Such a choice would be satisfactory
to the country, and the decision con
clusive. It is more important by far
than executing any two men, to make
sure that there was no mistake or
prejudice in conviction.
The views of clergymen each Sun
day present interesting contrasts,
such as would have been unsafe for
the clergymen one hundred years ago.
The Rev. Dr. Walter Duncan Bu
chanan says we are ignorant about
heaven and out uncertainty is a
btessed thing. It gives us something
to hope and work for.
The Rev. Dr. Minot Simons, Uni
tarian, says we must look for our
"compensations" in this life. Old
ideas of heaven and hell "are now in
adequate and futile."
The Rev. Dr. Straton says Mrs. Sny
der, convicted of helping to murder
her husband, is an atheist. She could
n't have committed the crime had she
believed in God.
If that is so, there have been athe
ists in high places throughout his
tory. Republicans and Democrats are
planning a 1928 campaign in which
the wet and dry question will be
shelved, forgotten.
Some wets say, "If you do, we shall
start a third party, dripping wet."
That would not hurt the feelings of
Republicans, who have decided the
Democrats may have the wet issue.
If, as seems likely, a wet Democrat
is nominated, the wets will know his
wetness and vote for him. A separate
wet party would get as few votes now
as a separate prohibition party used
to get, in the old wet days.
Congressman William W. Cohen
says the Govrenment's treatment of
letter carriers and mail clerks is a
disgrace, which is accurate. Mail
workers are underpaid as regulars,
and shamefully treated as substitutes.
For the Government to compel men,
perhaps with children, to waste an
entire day waiting for one or two
hours' work, and for the richest coun
try in the world to pay its post office
force as miserably as ours are paid,
is unworthy.
