however, and the religious scruples
of Rose will not permit her marry
ing one that has been divorced and
they must separate. Bill Briggs
comes into the plot here. The awk
ward but faithful cowboy and
ranchman has known Rope from
infancy; he also becomes her devot
ed admirer and expresses his wish
to make her his wife; he also shows
his hatred for Raymond and becom
ing obsessed by the idea that the
doctor has thrown Rose overboard
because of his "city raisin' " Bill
swears vengeance, and when the
two meet later in the city Bill at
tempts to shoot Raymond to death
and matters are complioated. Pat
Mollahan made the perfect fron
tiersman in this part Rose finally
comes to Dr. Raymond as she prom
ised she would if anything happen
ed, and nurses him well on the road
to recovery. While here she receives
a visit from her Unole Silas, who
brings with him Ralph Wilder, the
father of Rose, w nom she had never
known because of his leaving her
when she was a baby. Having spent
many years in separation from his
people, Ralph has returned very
wealthy, and while Rose hesitates
to leave the only father she has ever
known. Uncle Silas, she finally con
sents to go to the city home of her
real fattier, becomes educated and
four years later appears a mar
velously changed personage. Philip
von Lubken sustained the part of
Ralph Wilder. Miss Martha Wil
son, who appeared as the divorced
wife of Dr. Raymond, while having
a minor part to play, did it well.
Being at the hospital the same time
her divorced husband was, Rose be
came acquainted with her and
brought about a reconciliation be
tween husband and wife; she later
passes off the scene, having been
called by death and in the course
of events Rose and the doctor meet
again, the old flame is renewed, and
all ends as it should.
Mose, the darky, made no small
amount of amusement during the
entire course of the play, and this
important character was well taken
by Frank Nickerson.
As stated above, each part was
done well, and the large audience
was expressive of appreciation in
hearty applause that greeted the
performers in the comedy parts,
and with attentive and sympathetic
accord as the sober and pathetic
scenes were presented.
Between acts the Missildine trio
played sweet music, with Mrs. Mis
sildine a the piano, Ruth the 'celo
and Margaret the violin.
G. A. BLEAKMAN IS
SCION OF PIONEERS
Among those families who have
figured to a marked degree in the
development of the Morrow county
country stands the name of Bleak
man. George Bleakman, father of
G. A. Bleakman, settled in the
Hardman section as early as 1882
coming to this country to engage
in the livestock industry from Ida
ho. The son, G. A. Bleakman, fol
lowing his father's footsteps, was
for many years identified with the
Hardman section. Here he has, un
til recently, been engaged in mer
cantile lines and farming. Mr.
Bleakman has ever shown himself
a public spirited citizen and an un
selfish worker for progress in this
county. He has held various public
offices with credit to himself and
the county. He is now serving his
seventh year as county commission
er, in which office he has been in
strumental in bringing about many
needed improvements to all par,ts
of the county. In school work and
county educational matters he has
always been an active worker. His
service as a member of trade and
high school boards includes twenty-
one years of service.
Mr. Bleakman is destined to big
ger things in the political life of
this county. We take sincere plea
sure in according him mention as
one who has done much for the
county, an able and trustworthy
public official and an excellent citizen.
FRANK SHIVELY HAS
HARVESTER AGENCY
The Advance-Rumely lines of
combined harvesters and other
farm machinery are much in de
mand in Morrow county as condi
tions and soil are such as to make
them very practical here. These
are handled through the Morrow
county agent, Frank Shively, who
conducts the machine, blacksmith
ing and woodworking establish
ment under his name at Heppner.
Frank has the trade and confidence
of the people of all Morrow county.
His shop at Heppner is' one un
usually well equipped for handling
all manner of work in his lines.
In fact it is one of the best in the
west Frank Shively started here
on a smaller scale eight years ago
and through these years he has
prospered and built up. Another
good example to quote here and
another Morrow county booster
whom we are pleased to accord
mention in this edition.
