fcette Volum e44, Number 44. HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, JAN. 19, 1928 Subscription $2.00 a Year BY HELEN SIMPSON Third Lyceum Number Is Held at New School Auditorium. Helen Simpson but recently ar rived in the west from Boston, her home town, where she has a won derful reputation as an actress Im personator. Being delayed on the bus she was late In arriving Mon day evening and was greeted by half a house at the high school auditorium for her lyceum perform ance, other attractions in town that evening detracting from the at tendance. Nevertheless, she lived up to her reputation, and her lively, hour-and-a-half entertainment com pletely won her audience. Two vocal selections of a popular nature Introduced her, after which she made a short get-acquainted talk in which she showed herself to be most charming. As Lorette Taylor in "Happiness," she depicted the philosophy of a poor working girl who, in spite of her lowly position, looked upon life bravely and found it worth while. A heavy drama skit, In which she took two roles, that of an American navy captain's wife and a French modiste, was her most difficult of fering. The way a typical modern American mother looks upon the school career of her son furnished her audience plenyt of fun, at the same time giving much; food for thought. Her last portrayal was that of a maiden spinstress, in which nothing characteristic of the type was overlooked. Miss Simp son made many friends during her short sojourn here, who will wel come her warmly should Bhe re turn, i The next number bids fair to be one of the most Interesting, unique and entertaining numbers of the entire course. Dr. G. Whitfield Ray, the famous South American explorer and auth or, will discuss his adventures among the strange peoples of those far away lands. He will speak here on the evening of January 31, at 8 o'clock. Dr. Ray is doubtless the most widely known of all the Ly ceum people to appear here, for he has gained world-wide recognition as a traveler, adventurer and ex plorer. MISS WOODSON GRADUATED.

A summary report of Clerk An derson of game licenses handled by him during 1927 shows: 255 hunt ers at $3, $765; 12 county hunters at $1.50, $18; two non-resident hun ters, $20; 79 anglers at $3, $237; 19 county anglers at $1.50, $28.50; 10 lost certificates, $2.50; 88 combina tion hunters and anglers at $5, $440; making a total of $1511. The total for 1926 was $1510. Clerk An derson reports also a considerable shrinkage in the receipts of his of fice for 1927 over 1926. A total of $2762.85 shows up for the past year, while the yoar before figures were $4371.90. Mr. Anderson thinks that much of this difference comes from the cleaning up of mortgages. There were far less mortgage re newals to be recorded the past year than in 1926, and this would be a large Item of Income. HOLD BIBLE CHAUTAUQUA.

Bob Carsner Forsees Coal Development Like some others, Bob Carsner, of Spray, who was in Portland this week, was quoted by the Oregonian news gatherer, but his "long suit1 was not the recent gold discovery in Morrow county, but rather that of coal a substance, by the way, that Mr. Carsner .knows can be produced In this part of Eastern Oregon. Here's what he was quoted as having said, In Wednesday's Ore gonian: "Believe me," says R. J. Carsner of Spray, "some day there will be a coal development In our part of tne state. Just now there is talk of gold at 'Squeely' Johnson's home stead. I remember Pat Shea, who was supposed to have found gold on the Johnson place, but I don't know anything about the present reported 'find,' although I'm told some fine assays have been had. Years ago there was a rush to get fire opals In that same region at the base of Peter's butte, not far from Squeely's. A lot of opals were found and you can still see today cabins which the men used and the gopher holes In the hillside where they dug for the opals. I guess the opals weren't as good or as valuable as was supposed, for the mining for them ceased, but some of the opals were very nice. You can still find them if you want to take the trou ble. But, getting back to something substantial, there Is really coal available. Coal has been found on Willow creek, 14 miles from Hepp ner, and on Rowe creek in Wheeler county, and in Grant county, near Dayville. Blacksmiths, 40 years and more ago, used native coal for their forges. They used to mine it themselves. On the Willow creek proposition the men who started It got Into difficulties after a large sum had been spent and they re fused, as I recall, about $400,000. They all died firmly convinced that they had good coal. We never heard much about minerals in our part but the mountains farther on are full of minerals, or much gold was taken out at Canyon creek, and in the John Day river. The coal de posits, however, are something that, I feel convinced, will be developed into something sometime." H. A. Duncan Acquitted on Manslaughter Charge Heppner friends of Harry Dun can are glad to receive the news early today of his acquittal at The Dalles last night of the charge of involuntary manslaughter. The charge grew out of the fatal injury of Frank Black, Idaho mine work er, on May 30 last. Mr. Duncan went to trial Tues day, and the case was concluded late Wednesday evening, the jury taking the case about ten o'clock. After deliberating for a short time, they returned their verdict of ac quittal. Heppner Elks Lodge Will Be Entertained An entertainment for the Hepp ner lodge of Elks and their families is In prospect for the evening of February 4th, which will be in the form of a genuine old-time dance. Following the custom of the lodge for some time past, members have furnished an evening of entertain ment for the brothers, to which the families are invited, and this par ticular event is to be the offering of Jack, Wm. and David Hynd, who are furnishing the music for the oc casion. An evening of real enjoy ment Is thus in prospect for mem bers of Heppner Lodge No. 358, and their families on the evening of February 4. Mr. Hynd stated to us that this entertainment is in line with those heretofore put on by the different groups of members for the good of the order" and is not one of the public affairs as outlined in the program of the lodge.

During the past week the sheriff's office was busy In serving com plaints on dog owners of the county who had failed to look after the business of getting licenses in prop er time. This action was taken in compliance with the law, and the delinquents were brought In to the court of Justice Huston and that official assessed the penalty of $10 per dog where the lciense fee had not been paid. I SPECIAL BIB EDUI The work of compiling our mammoth booster edition is well under way and it is now necessary that we have all copy in our hands at a very early date. Some articles pertaining to church, club and frater nal organization work which was to be prepared by others are still out and we urge that these be furnished us as soon as possible. All photos and articles which in your estimation would be good material for this issue should reach our office at once. We are very anxious to make it a real and worth while portrayal of facts regarding Morrow County. Any suggestions on your part will be appreciated. It is your edition. The support being extended by the business firms and individuals of the county is making and the interest shown assures us of a widespread outside distribu tion. It will serve its intended purpose well. Well directed newspaper publicity can and will accomplish won ders for our section and this edition will tell the story of Morrow County in a way that it has never And here we want tc again extend our thanks to the progressive spirited business public of Heppner and other parts of the county who, through their patronage of advertising space, are making it possible. Almost with one accord they have responded to this call, not with a consideration of personal gain, although the issue will be a good advertising medium, but rather the motive that prompted this support was unselfish. These people realize that we all have a common interest in the further development of this section and are therefore putting their shoulders to the wheel and are pushing for all they are worth. With such a spirit ever manifested, Heppner and Morrow County will ever forge ahead. Some have not been called on, but we are pleased to report that to date not a single establishment has refused support. Boost for the coming Booster Edition. It is trying CO-OPERATION MEANS SUCCESS.

GET IN YOUR Hermiston Men File On Gold Claims at Heppner A number of Hermiston men made a trip to the mountains about 40 miles south of Heppner last Sun day in order to Investigate reports of a gold strike discovered there recently, states the Hermiston Her ald. The men making the trip in cluded Bill Shear, J. B. Moll, H. A. Pankow, George Shelton, Ursel Hi att and Gwyn Hughes. The find was an old hole that Is thought to have been opened by a prospector some 40 years ago, the site of which was lost shortly after his first pay ore was taken out when he became ill at The Dalles and died without being able to dis close to those at his bedside the lo cation of the claim. He had covered the shaft over to protect his inter ests while he was gone. The location remained hidden un til recently when a horse broke through the temporary covering the old prospector had made. Ex-. ploratlon disclosed some gold bear ing ore, and considerable interest has been displayed by Heppner peo ple. The trip of the local men was taken as a result of information that was received by Ursel Hiatt from his father. The Hermiston men made some filings that were located by H. Pankow, after he had examined the terrain. LEGION INSTALLS OFFICERS. Officers of Heppner Post No. 87, American Legion, for 1928, were In stalled at the regular meeting of the post Monday evening.

WOULD NAME NEW BUILDING WOODSON HALL Luncheon Club Suggests Name for Auditorium-Gymnasium to Honor Late Resident. Members of the business men's luncheon club at their weekly meet ing last Monday, discussed at some length a suggestion made by Dr. A D. McMurdo that an appropriate name should be given to the new auditorium - gymnasium. Several names were suggested by different members, and it was finally decid ed that the new building should be named after some resident of Mor row county who has taken an active part in educational affairs. The name of C. E. Woodson was placed before the club, and seeming to meet with general approval, the chairman, Dean Goodman, appoint ed a committee to draft resolutions and present them to the board of directors requesting them to offi cially designate the building as "Woodson Hall." A copy of the resolutions follows: To the Honorable Board of Directors and the Superintendent of Schools, District No. One, Morrow County: Whereas, School District No. One has recently completed the erection of an Auditorium-Gymnasium, and Whereas, this said Auditorium-Gymnasium is a credit to the Bchool district and to the town and community of Heppner, and bids fair to become widely used in its proper capacities, and Whereas, the words "Auditorium-Gymnasium" which have heretofore been used to designate the building are both lenethy and awkward. Therefore, be it resolved, that we, the un dersigned committee of business men and residents of School District No. One of Heppner, Oregon, do hereby respectfully request that the Board of Directors official ly designate and name this building "Wood son Hall m honor of the life and splen did achievements of the late C.

GOD'S TLAN UP-TO-DATE. God has a definite plan for this day and age. He had a definite plan for the salvation of man at the time of the fall but it took four thousand years of preparation be fore it could be put in to effect due to the sinfulness and waywardness of man. Then "In the fullness of time" Christ died for the ungodly and salvation is offered through His name.

'well-known car.' 'They tell me,' said Mr.- Lat ourell, who was born near the Lat ourell falls, and who owns part of the 'figure eight' property which the county is now trying to acquire. that a number of people in Port land, who ordered cars early, are planning to sell at an advance of trom $50 to $75, to people who do not want to wait their turn.' Mr. Latourell says that the good crop year has made the automobile bus iness In Morrow county very active. Being an ardent fisherman, Mr. lat ourell says that there is good fish ing in only a few streams in his section, because many streams have a habit of drying up and where Csh are planted in more permanent streams they do not last long be cause the anglers oaten them." Harold Van Horn, who some eleven weeks ago suffered such ser ious and painful injuries at the Oral Scott farm In Blackhorse, when he was run over by a heavy disc, was able to be out for the first time on Tuesday, coming to the office of Dr. McMurdo to receive treatment.

Stockmen seem to be of one mind regarding the outlook for the stock industry for 1928. Last summer or rather fall, both sheep and cattle came into the pastures fat and in the best of condition. The winter has been ail that could be desire for feeding and sheepmen say that they don't recall the time when the wool crop was as clean as the present one. It will be one of the best wool clips sheared here in years. And the price for wool looks like it would creep up to war time figures. Cattle are hitting new price records. Range conditions are first class. A light snow has cov ered the ground all winter and the grass has been growing under the snow. If conditions stay normal there will be an early range. Eagle, canyon city. NEW WIRE BEING STRUNG. The crew of the Sherman Elec tric company, which arrived here the past week have been busy stringing new wire between lone and Heppner, and are quite well on the way to this city. The old iron wire is being replaced by new cop per wire, which the company found was necessary to carry the voltage rrom the DeMoss Springs plant. A fair trial of the old wire, that serv ed Heppner Light & Water com pany for many years as a conducter of juice from Heppner to lone, proved it unfit for the new connec tions. During the time this work is progressing, the city has been receiving its electricity from the lo cal power house. INSTALLATION AND SUITER.
