We sit beneath their orchard trees, We hear, like them, t'e h-,m of bees And rustle of the bladed corn; We turn the pages that they read, . Their written words we linger o'er, But in the sun they casfcno shade, No voice is heard, no sign is made, No step is on the conscious floor! Yet Love will dream, and Faitn will trust, That somehow, somewhere, meet we must."

The nenole who endured the hard ships of the early days, the real pioneers, the people who made the beginnings of the county and laid the foundations for the advantages which we enjoy, will not be with us long. Only a remnant of that advance guard of civilization survives. It is only a question of a few years when the last roll call will be made. It is fitting that we should honor these pioneers who are watching their sun go slowly down toward the western horizon. 1 ' The little gathering t Lexington a short time ago, in honof of the "old timers" was a worth vhile occasion It was not only a day of pleasure to the nioneers. but it was a day full of instruction and inspiration to the vouno. After our last Chautauqua it was suggested that we have a pioneer re union at Heppner next summer and invite in the pioneers of this and ad joining counties, and that, as a part of the entertainment, a tree cnau. tauqua be held. This seemed to meet with much favor, and almost money enough has been subscribed to meet the expense. A large numDer oi uo .crintions. ranging from $20.00 down to $5.00, have been made. It will not require many more subscriptions to assure the reunion and the free Chau tauqua. Let's put it over and have a great event next summer. If you have not subscribed toward this en terprise, rtep into Shively's shop, J J. Nvs' office, or Frank Turner's of fice, and sign up one or tne lists, k it not too early to begin planning for this occasion. Committee.' ALL SAINTS' EPISCOPAL CHURCH. Sunday school at 9:46 o'clock.

Heppner's New Gym-Auditorium Ready; Is Attractive, Serviceable rr "n'lr .. H I ll c A complete plant for physical, for ensic and dramatic training of pupils of the Heppner public schools is now nearly an accomplished achievement with the completion and acceptance of the new auditorium-gymnasium Some wasted articles of equipment are all that is needed to fulfill the achievement. . The building of reinforced concrete construction, is beautiful in its sim plicity inside and outside, though its exterior will afford a more pleasing perspective when the grounds adjoin ing have been cleaned up and beauti fied. No attempt was made to make it artistic, it being the idea of the school board to provide a practical building for the purposes intended without any unnecessary expenditure of money. Though this intention was carried out faithfully by the architect and contractors, still nothing was left un done so far as the actual construction of the building and finishing are con cerned. Partitions and ceilings on the inside are of wood and plaster coated with kalsomine, the main walls being unfinished but kalsomined the same as the plaster. In being neatly and plainly finished the auditorium is cheery and pleasing in appearance. I lie Heavily uubbcu gymnasium ceil ing is unfinished. The building is distinctly divided, the wide portion seen in the picture housing the gymnasium and the nar row part the auditorium. The gym nasium floor is raised above the slop ing auditorium floor, and part or all of it may be used as a stage. The auditorium with 600 stationary seats of dark walnut and iron includes a main floor and balcony of about equal size. The auditorium was made in this way so that a library room and rest rooms might be included on the main floor. These are in the end of the building opposite the gymnasium with a hallway the full width of the Building placed between them and the auditorium. The hallway, en tered by a main entrance on either end, has three doorways to the lower floor and two to the balcony. French swinging doors on either side of the lddle entrance to the main floor partition the hallway and Berve to eliminate drafts caused by opening the outside doors as people enter, be sides giving the hallway the appear Lucas Child Stricken With Infantile Paralysis The young son of Mr. and Mrs.i Fred Lucas of Lexington was taken ill with infantile paralysis Sunday at Wasco shortly after arriving there. At the same time a child of Mr. and Mrs. Fortner, grandchild of Mr. and Mra. Lucas, was-stricken. This re port reached Dr. Johnston's office the first of the week, but it was not leraned how severe the cases are. The cases have been isolated at Wasco, and the Lucas child will not be brought buck to Morrow county, Dr. Johnston says. In a telephone conversation with Dr. Adams of Was co this morning the county health officer informed him that so far no case of the disease had developed, in this county and that the child would not be permitted to come home until the disease had been cured. Dr. Adnms, in charge of the two cases, was prone to blame local health au thorities for the breaking out of flio Hinonaa in Wnin itpnlnrina1 nn j evidence of it had before existed there. Friends of the families here were shocked to learn of the affliction and hope for an early recovery. FORD RECEPTION TOMORROW. Chas. H.

Moore, furniture dealer of lone, spent several hours in the city yesterday, looking after Mutters of business. . ................. ance of a charming alcove. The interior throughout is cream trimmed in French gray, a pleasing color combination, let off by the door and electrical fittings of brass and white lamps. The front of the gym nasium floor is finished to resemble a stage front, rounded and equipped with foot- and top-lights. Just in front of the stage is an orchestra pit, the full width of the auditorium. This is set beneath the floor level and is cut off from the main floor by a wooden railing painted gray. Entrances at the ell of the building on either side open into a small ante room in which is a door opening into the front of the auditorium on one side and a short stairway leading to the aide stage entrance on the oppo site side. The ceilings of these an terooms are lowered, with dressing rooms built above, these being reach ed by means of a substantial wooden ladder and trap door. Two dressing rooms are thus provided for men and women. To cut off the back of the stage a draw curtain is being installed. This is of heavy brown cloth and when pulled back rolls into compartments provided for the purpose at the sides. When drawn clear back a full view of the basketball playing court is had from any seat in the auditorium, mak ing the auditoruim practical for seat ing crowds at athletic contests as well as stage performances . Shower rooms are built in the base ment and are reached by means of stairs and hallway leading from the northwest side entrance. Similar rooms for boyB and girlsare provid ed, these taking up the only com pleted portion of the basement. If necessary in time to come more exca vating can be done and additional rooms made beneath the main floor. Completing the room equipment of the structure, is a picture projecting room placed in the back center of the balcony. This is of the very latest fire-proo construction, being lined throughout in sheet-iron, with the window shutters of the same ma terial being held with combustible cord so that in case a fire breaks out inside at any time they close auto matically, encasing the fire complete ly. Lights for the entire building can be turned on and off from the stage wings or projecting room, while ad ditional dimmer switches for the IT'S WET IN GRANT COUNTY. Dillard French was in the city on Saturday, being on his return home from Long Creek to Gurdane. Ordin arily, Mr. French can make it through the mountains directly south from Gurdane and have no difficulty in reaching his destination in the Long Creek country, but not this fall. It was necessary for him to return via Monument, John Day highway to Ar lington -and thence to Heppner on to Gurdane some considerable dis tance when it is figured out. In the process of road building now going on in Oregon, there will be a road directly south from Pendleton to Canyon City and Burns. This will no doubt come some time in the not distant future, as will the other road direct from Heppner to Spray, and then closer connection can be had with the interior of Grant, Wheeler and Harney counties. Mr. French states that much nun has fallen through the mountain section and that it is very wet around Hamilton and Long Creek, and it is not easy getting to Monument that way at present. Dillard is also pepped up quite a bit over the cattle business these days, but has no complaint to make as to conditions for some time past; it has been a pretty good game for a number of years when rightly handled. JONES-CASE. A very quiet homo wedding was solemnized at 5 o'clock Thanksgiving eve nt the home of Mr. and Mrs. M. L. Case when their daughter, Mary Frances, was united in marriage to Mr. G. E. Jones of Astoria. Kev. r. R. Spaulding performed the cere mony in the presence of members of the family only. The Case home was attractively decorated with chrysanthemums in autumn tones.

The en tire building is well lighted and ade quate connections for most any con tingency have been taken care of. In connection with operation of the lights a system of electric bell sig nals has been installed. By this means signals may be sent from the wings, stage or projecting room to any of the named places desired. Separate switches for lights in aux iliary parts of the building have also been installed. Two large electric fan circulating heat radiators, one in the gymnasium and the other at the front of the audi torium furnish the heat for the audi torium and gymnasium while two steam radiators heat the library. Steam is furnished from the boiler in the adjacent school building, being forced across by means of electrically controlled pumps. Hot water for the wash basins in the rest rooms and showers in the basement is also piped from the other building. Ventilation is obtained by roof ven tilators and windows. The windows sufficient to light the buiding well in the day time are set in iron frames of double construction, each half be ing pivoted at the center for opening or closing. An attractive part of the building throughout is the clear fir flooring. Sandpapering and waxing of all the floors is now under way, and when this is completed the floors will not only be attractive but very service able as well. For shower room equipment a large quantity of ventilated iron locker boxes have been purchased and will be installed in the near future. Bas ketball and other athletic equipment is being arranged for, and baskets and backboards will probably be in place this week. It is thought a large net across the Bide of the gymnasium facing the auditorium will be em ployed to keep basketballs from going into the audience. Completion of this new plant has evinced many signs of pleasure from brought forth many signs of pleasure from the faculty and children as well as the townspeople in general. Its use, starting immediately, will be great, judging from the long program of activity already announced for it, besides many other uses being planned. Local People Urged to Buy Christmas Seals With the Thanksgiving turkey safe ly tucked away for another year, and with the spirit of Christmas growing every day, the time has come to call the attention of the community to the annual sale of Christmas seals by the Oregon Tuberculosis associa tion. So widespread and common has this custom become, that "Christmas wouldn't be Christmas" without these little good health wishes to put on the packages that go to out friends and loved ones. This year the seal sale stamp is unusual in its unique idea of wishing a healthy and happy Christmas to the world. One of the large adver tising boards in town shows a replica of the emblem: four galloping rein deer, a sleigh full of gifts, snowy Christmas landscape, together with the double armed cross of the tuber culosis association all combine to convey the yearly message of hope and good cheer. ' ' Superintendent James Burgess, who is chairman of the seal sale in Heppner, hopes to put over the big gest sale in the history of the year ly seal sales. Last year Heppner fell slightly below its usual average pur chase of seals, while the reports from Morrow county generally show that but an average of two stamps apiece was purchased by the citi zens of the county. This places Mor row county among the five lowest counties in the state in the number of seals purchased. The sale of Christmas seals is uni versally endorsed by leading people all over the country, for it is Tecog nized as being one of the most sig nificant movements of modern times toward the eradication of disease.

After three years of effort on the part of interested dairymen, assisted by county agents of the two coun ties and specialists of the Oregon Agricultural college, a Dairy Herd Improvement association for Monro w and Umatilla counties was formed at Pendleton on Tuesday. The official tester for the association started work today. Hig work will be to test the enrolled cows once a month, weigh the milk, determine the per centage of butterfat, figure feed cot and ultimately determine the net profit on each cow. In addition to this service, he will test separators for efficiency and give expert advice as to economical and efficient rations as well as any other information that may tend to increase herd profits. Some 700 cows have already been signed, guaranteeing the tester 22 days work a month. In Morrow coun ty four herds will be tested, those of C, C. Cool, lone; Ellis Minor, lone; Paul Smit'i, Boardman, and I. Skoubo, Boardman. The cost for testing is $60 per herd per year where only one herd can be tested in a day, and $33 per herd per year where two herds can be tested in a day, pro vided in the latter case that the two herds do not exceed 35 cows Directors of the association elect- ed at Pendleton are L. B. Hughes, Pilot Rock; A. T. Hawn, Freewater; Eldon King, Weston; Curtis Dier, Hermiston, and Paul Smith, Board man. These were elected from the various districts represented. N. C. Jamison, extension specialist in dai rying, was in charge of the meeting. As soon as a directors' meeting can be called the officers of the associa tion will be elected by them. In commenting on the new associa tion, Chas. W. Smith, county agent, who attended the organization meet ing, aaid: "It is'a notable fact that wherever an association of this kind has been formed it has never been abandoned. In localities where the move was pioneered, associations have multiplied in number until all the herds of the section receive the service. This is especially true in Tillamook county and in other lead ing dairying sections of the state. "As an instance of the worth of the association work, a tester in Clackamas county found one cream separator being operated that threw enough cream over into the skim milk that had it continued to be op erated in this condition for a year a time the cream thus wasted would have amounted to $252, a dead loss to the dairyman had not the waste been discovered by the tester." This is the fifth association of its kind started in Oregon since the first of the year. The others being started in Marion, Crook and Deschutes, Un ion and Wallowa, and Baker counties. Other dairymen in Morrow and Uma tilla counties are contemplating join ing the association and it should not be long before the tester will be working full time.
