Pioneers Expected Here
In Large Numbers
Tomorrow.
;
FIRST SHOW TONIGHT
Up to the time we go to press p
day, 167 pioneers of Morrow county
have placed their names on the reg
ister at Gordon's store. It is ex
pected that this number will be
largely increased at the reunion to
morrow when Heppner will enter
' tain a very large number of the
early settlers of this section. Of
the old pioneers, It will be noted
from the following list, there are
but few remaining, and of those who
have resided in what 1b now Mor
row county, the name of C. A. Rhea
stands out as the oldest Inhabitant,
and from the time of nis settlement
here in 1864, Mr. Rhea has made
this part of Oregon his some, with
the exception of a few years of resi
dence in Portland. Mr. Rhea came
to Oregon In 1852. The list would
also Indicate that many who were
born and raised In this section are
now classed as pioneers.
Friday the pioneers of Morrow
county are the special guests of the
city and the Chautauqua associa
tion. This paper anticipates that
there will be a very large gathering
here to take in the programs,and
they are promised a day of splen
did entertainment, with enough time
to have social gatherings and hours
of intercourse when the "good old
times" of the years gone by may be
talked over and reminiscences re
cited. ,
Saturday is to be Pomona Orange
Day, and for this occasion there will
be a program put on that will be of
Interest to the members of the va
rious granges of the county, and to
the public as well. The program
was not sufficiently completed to be
given In full In these columns, but
one feature is to be an address by
A. R. Shumway, 'master of Uma
tilla Pomona, and it Is expected that
Chas. Wlcklander of Boardman,
master of Morrow Pomona will also
be present and give an address. Ar
rangements were not fully com
pleted, but an attempt was being
made to have the club band from
Irrigon here, and it Is hoped that
this feature of the program will ap
pear. Rhea Creek Grange will have
part on the program, as will also
Dry Fork, so there Is going to be
plenty of good entertainment for
Saturday.
The Chautauqua programs begin
tonight at the big tent The fea
tures this season are very excellent
all down the line, but the initial
number, "Applesauce," the big suc
cess of last year's six-day circuit,
and one of the great comedies of re
cent years, will open the season. It
Is a hilarious comedy drama of the
American home, and will start off
the programs with plenty of mirth
and laughter. The entire program
is given herewith, and It is expect
ed that record crowds will be pres
ent at every performance.

Impressive Memorial
Services Held Here
Very beautiful and impressive
services were held at Star theater
on Wednesday at 11:00 o'clock, In
honor of Memorial Day, and the de
parted soldiers of our country. The
services were in charge of Heppner
Post No. 87, American Legion,
Commander Clarence Baurnan pre
siding. A large attendance of the
citizens of the community practic
ally filled the theater, and follow
ing the program there, the greater
portion of the crowd went to the
cemetery, where the Legion held
appropriate services over the graves
of the soldier dead.
The memorial address was deliv
ered by Earl W. Snell of Arlington,
Legionaire, In a manner that won
the hearts of his hearers. Mr. Snell
may make no pretensions to ora
tory, but his address on this occa
sion can be classed with those of
the seasoned public speaker, and
contained much that entitles him
to that distinction. The speaker
was full of his subject, and having
been through the thick of the con
flict in the World War, he could
talk from the standpoint of one
who was in deep sympathy with
the memorial occasion.
Commander Bauman made an ap
propriate introductory to the pro
gram, and presided In a manner be
fitting the occasion. Rev. F. R.
Spaulding offered prayer, Earl Gil
liam read General Logan's Memor
ial Day Orders, Harvey Miller sang
a beautiufl solo, and the Auxiliary
glee club sang, each number on the
glee club sang, and Mrs. P. M. Gem
mell gave "In Flanders' Fields."
Each number on the program was
in full harmony with the occasion.
Memorial Day at Heppner
passed off as it should, all business
houses closing and the people of
the community entering into the
spirit of the day, very large num
bers repairing to tie cemetery,
where graves of departed loved
ones were appropriately decorated
with spring flowers.
WILLIAM LAWSON DIES.
William Lawson Sasseen, aged 84
years, died at his home In this city
on Tuesday morning at 4:30. He
had been ill for some time, and
death was the result of the infirm
ities of old age, though an autopsy
held by Dr. A. D. McMurdo revealed
that Mr. Sasseen had been a suffer
er for some time with a chronic
ailment which was undoubtedly re
sponsible for his illness and death.
This autopsy was necessary because
of the fact that he had passed away
unattended by a physician. Fu
neral services were held at the
grave on Wednesday afternoon,
Rev. F. R. Spaulding officiating.
William Lawson, as he was known
here, came to this part of Oregon
many years ago and was a familiar
character about Heppner, where he
was well respected. He is survived
by his widow, who joined him at
Heppner during the early part of
last year, after a separation of
many years. He was a native of
Missouri.

Three Morrow Students
Oregon State Graduates
Nolan Page
Maxine
Oregon State Agricultural Col
lege, Corvallis, May 30. The Hepp
rne vicinity is represented by three
students in the graduating class of
1928 which totals more than 500.
Nolan Page of lone, and Maxine
Gentry and Walter C. Nolan, Lex
ington, are among those receiving
degrees at the annual commence
ment exercises June 4. The grad
uating class is composed of those
who have "survived" four years of
rigorous work during which their
scholarship had to be kept high to
meet the requirements here. The
college does not grant a degree to
one whose average is less than C
even though he may have accumu
lated sufficient credits.
Mr. Page has earned the degree
of bachelor of science in civil en
gineering. The school of engineer
ing is the second largest in the col
lege and its courses are considered
on the campus as among the "stiff
est" to be had. Before specializing
in civil engineering, Page, with the
other 93 graduates of this school,
spent a year of general foundation
work given to acquaint beginning
students with the fields of electrical,
mechanical and civil, and industrial
arts in which they may major in
this school. Graduates in engin
eering are in demand to take posi
tions for further training or imme
diate work in the big indsutrial cor
porations. Aside from completing his regular
work, Page has also taken an active
part In campus affairs. He is a
member of Tau Beta Pi, national
honorary engineering : fraternity;
Scabbard and Blade, military hon
orary; Homecoming committee, R.
O. T. C. captain; American Society
of Civil Engineers, vice-president,
American Society of Mechanical
Engineers; Associated Engineers,
secretary-treasurer.
Miss Gentry has completed her
J. W. Morrow Takes Air
For Trip to Heppner
J. W. Morrow who for many years
has not missed visiting the family
burial ground at. Heppner on Me
morial Day, this year took advan
tage of improved transportation fa
cilities and came in by airplane
from his Portland home on Tues
day. Landing on the hill above
town about 12:30, the trip was made
in an hour and fifty minutes.
The plane Mr. Morrow came in is
owned by a Portland company in
which his son, Jack, is interested.
At the controls was Pilot Davis, a
young fellow who last week end
took part in the air derby at Walla
Walla and won one of the races on
Sunday. Mr. Morrow was much
pleased with the trip, and expressed
his appreciation of the view of Ore
gon terrain as seen from the air.
TO SERVE CHICKEN DINNER.
The Christian Endeavor Society
of the Christian church will serve
chicken dinner, cafeteria style, at
the church on Friday evening from
6:30 until 7:00 o'clock. A cordial
Invitation is extended to the public.
Gentry
Walter C. Nolan
work for bachelor of science degree
in vocational education. This school
has made remarkable growth in
recent years to keep pace with the
demands for teachers of Industrial
subjects in high schools. It has
further advanced this year under
the new leadership of Dean James
R. Jewell. By taking the degree
course In this school, Miss Gentry
has prepared herself for more work
in teaching related vocational sub
jects or for supervisory or admin
istrative positions in vocational
work than is possible where a stu
dent majors in one of the technical
schools. The school includes. teach
er training in commerce, agricul
ture, home economics, and indus
trial education, and work in psy
chology and education.
Aside from completing her regu
lar work, Miss Gentry has taken an
active part in campus affairs. She
is a member of Kappa Delta Pi,
national honorary society in educa
tion; Temenids, Eastern Star organ
ization, vice-president stunt show;
Pliysica education club; Women's
Athletic association; Hockey man
ager; Waldo hall council; Wauna
club, president
Mr. Nolan earned his degree of
bachelor of science in pharmacy.
The closing feature of his work
here was a comprehensive three
day state examination given by the
Oregon board of pharmacy. Though
this is recognized as one of the most
difficult pharmacy examinations
given in any state, rarely has any
student trained here failed in it
The work in pharmacy may be tak
en either as a three or four year
course. Graduates are fitted to be
come pharmacists or continue pro
fessional training in medicine, den
tistry or related fields. Nolan is
one of the 46 graduates this year,
and a member of the Pharmaceut
ical association.
Union Services Feature
Memorial Sunday Here
Rev. F. R. Spaulding, pastor of
the Methodist church, delivered the
sermon on Memorial Sunday In un
ion services at the Christian church,
a large audience being present Out
of his ripe experience, Mr. Spauld
ing spoke along religious and pa
triotic lines, delivering a message
that was uplifting. A combined
choir lead In singing of patriotic
hymns, while Rev. Moore of the
Episcopal church and Milton W.
Bower of the Christian church as
sisted in the services.
Just one Civil War veteran was
present on this occasion, which re
minds us that the old veterans are
fast passing on. John C. Ball was
the sole representative of the G. A.
R. post of Heppner that for so many
years boasted a large membership,
but for a number of years past has
not been able to hold meetings be
cause of the depleted number re
maining on the roll. We doubt
however, if Mr. Ball has missed at
tendance on memorial services in
Heppner for many years. Members
of the Relief Corps, Spanish War
Veterans, American Legion and
American Legion Auxiliary were In
attendance, and these latter will
have to carry on in the future, for
all those who wore the blue will
soon have joined the comrades who
have passed to the beyond.
HALE-HI RL.
The marriage of Vier Hale of
Heppner and Miss Mary Hirl of
Lena was an event taking place in
this city early Monday morning.
The ceremony was performed at St.
Patrick's church by Rev. Father
Brady, in the presence of a number
of relatives and friends of the con
tracting parties, following which a
company of 24 guests enjoyed
sumptuous wedding breakfast at
the home of Mrs. Ollie Hale, mother
of the bridegroom. Later in the
day about 40 of the friends and rel
atives of the newly weds were made
welcome at the home of the bride's
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Phil Hlrl
where a wedding dinner was served
and a general jolly time had. The
young couple motored to Pendle
ton later In the day, where they
expect to live In the future.
REMEMBER THE BIBLE
SCHOOL.
At 9:45 as usual there will be Sun
day school. Everyone is urged to be
present There will be plenty of
time to go to the tent later. Let all
rally to the usual duties and pleas
ures In the Sunday school work. We
hope all will enjoy the unusual
things offered on Sunday but do
not neglect the house of God.

Wasco.
The Umatilla club has declared
they will not accept the action of
directors of the Wheatland league,
which overruled their protest on tha
recent Condon game giving the
game to Condon, and say they will
not participate in the remainder of
the schedule unless the league's de
ctown is reversed. A meeting was
called at Arlington Tuesday eve
ning for the purpose of taking the
matter up, but no definite action be
ing taken, it is presumed their for
mer action will stand and that Uma
tilla will drop out Just what ef
fect this will have on the games to
be played has not yet been demon
strated. Umatilla was scheduled to
play at lone next Sunday.
After its slump of the last two
weeks the Heppner club again got
into the winning column Sunday.
defeating Wasco 6-1 on the local
grounds. Heppner appears to be a
homing team this season, winning
every game played at home so far
and losing all played away. If this
holds true for the remainder of the
schedule, they have a good chance
at the pennant as all their remain
ing games will be played here.
Plenty of excitement is in store
for ball fans here this week, for
besides the league game with Ar
lington on Sunday the locals will
play the Umatilla Indians Friday
afternoon, and Arlington in a non
league game on Saturday. These
games will all start at 3:30, imme
diately following the Chautauqua
programs in the big tent
Heppner's pitching staff has been
augmented for the extra games, and
at least three good twirlers will be
on deck. It is likely Drake will be
saved for the Sunday game, though
he may go in if needed against the
Indians. Then Schroeder will be
ready to work at any time, besides
a big dark horse. There is one man
who has been playing with the team
all season who has developed into
a real delivery artist, whose talents
were unknown until last week. He
will show up on the mound during
the series and will give a good ac
counting of himself. His name is
not mentioned, it being the wish of
the management to spring his iden
tity as a surprise. f
Otherwise the local lineup will be
unchanged from the way it appear-.
ed against Wasco Sunday: LaMear,
catcher; Erwin on first Van Mar
ter at second, Cason at third, His
ler at short Hoskins, Anderson and
Thorn in the field. This crew looked
like a million dollars Sunday, and
though up against some real stiff
competition in the Indians, they will
make a good accounting. Bettles,
the clever little Indian southpaw
who pitched for Wasco part of the
game Sunday, will be in the box for
the reservation team. His perform
ance alone is worth the price of ad
mission. News From Heppner Hospital.
