and Marshall S. P. Devln returned
on Sunday from Boise, where the
past week they attended the three
day convention of the Northwest
Association of Sheriffs and Police,
Mr. Notson has been in attendance
at most of the annual gatherings
of this association since Its organ!'
zation, and he thinks this last meet
ing was perhaps the best of them
all. It was Mr. Devln s first attend'
ance, and he was highly pleased
with what he was privileged to hear,
Both men enjoyed the hospitality
of the Boise people and also the trip
to the big Arrowroot dam, 'some
thirty miles out of town .
Mr. and Mrs. John Gate of Spray,
accompanied by Mrs. George Ro
land and daughter Mildred, were
visitors here on Wednesday. Mr,
and Mrs. Gates had not been in the
city for nearly three years, but will
doubtless come oftener now, as the
Heppner-Spray highway nears com
pletion. The drive over takes about
three hours now and this time will
be shortened, when the last link In
the highway is completed, and these
good people hope that this will not
be delayed any longer than is ab
solutely necessary. Mrs. Roland
and daughter will be in the city for
a week.
George Sperry of thfs city was
quite interested .in the picturelof

the inlay mill, which appeared in

river about half way between
Brownsville and Crawfordsville, and

has been little change in the mill
since it was first built and it is one
of the historic land marks of the

THE INDEPENDENT THINKER.
(Being a brief summary of the
sermon preached by the pastor of
the Church of Christ Sunday eve
ning, August 19.)
There was a time when anyone
called a heretic was apt to be burn
ed at the stake or have his eyes put
out with red hot iron or have his
tongue pulled out by the roots or
suffer any similar punishment ac
cordlng to the whim of the perse
cutor. Now a heretic is simply one
who thinks differently. He is one
whp does not hold the common or
orthodox opinion. The fact that he
is different does not prove him to be
either right or wrong. The old
method was to assume him wrong
and punish him severely. The more
modern method seems to be to as
sume that the one who is different
is right ana to heap honors upon
him. The old system may have had
advantacea but nnuld not hA rni
ated in the same world with free
dom of conscience. However, the
opposite extreme of today leaves
mucn uj oe aesirea ior tne reason
one is not necessarily either right
or independent simply because he
disagrees with orthodox opinions.

You go away to play not to worry. A neat wallet of
American Express Travelers Checques is as much a part
of a well ordered vacatio nas a traveling bag. These
Cheques represent peace of mind over the funds upon
which your good time depends.
American Express Travelers Cheques are a form of "per
sonal money" spendable as cash, but only by the proper
owner. They enable anyone to carry any amount of funds
at all times without fear of loss. They also entitle their
holders when traveling to very opportune and helpful assist
ance from American Express offices in this country and
around the world.
The method of using Travelers Cheques Is simplicity it
self.. When you buy them you write your name on each
Cheque, thus making it your own. When you wish to spend
one you write your name a second time on the Cheque In
the presence of the person accepting it
No identification other than your second signature is
necessary. (
If your American Express Travelers Cheques are lost or
stolen (uncountersigned or not exchanged for value) your
money is refunded.

FIRE! The Unsparing Thief
Human thieves, fortunately, specialize. They stick to
their respective "lines."
Fire spares nothing. It often leaves a house gutted and
ruined from cellar to- attic.
This means that Are insurance should fully cover all that
fire can destroy or damage.
A few thousand dollars added to your inventory will in
crease your annual premium but little.
Yet, after a fire, "fully covered" is far better than "par
tially covered."
Let us help you.
