County Declamatory
Contest on April 13
The fourth annual Morrow coun
ty all-school declamatory contest
has been set for April 13, at Hepp
ner, following action of officers of
the county league on Saturday. The
week following the winners of the
Morrow county contest will vie at
Pendleton with winners of the Um
atilla county contest for inter
county honors.
The declamatory league is now
paBt the experimental stage, de
clares Jas. M. Burgess, local super
intendent of schools who has been
active in its progress. Last year the
contest grew to such proportions
that it was necessary to split the
divisions, holding the grade school
contest separate from the high
school.
To take care of the emergency
that year, the officers have sched
uled the grade division contest to
take place at 1:30 In the afternoon
and the high school contest at 7:30
in the evening, with entertainment
to be provided between the two pro
grams. Practically every school in
the county has signified intention
of placing entries in the contest
this year.
Competent judges from another
part of the state will be brought in
that absolute impartiality may be
shown all contestants, making cer
tain that all entries will have an
equal chance so far as the machin
ery of the contest is concerned.
Beautiful gold and silver medals
are to be awarded the winners
again this year.

UNIQUE PROGRAM
HERE DN THURSDAY
Great Literary Men Made
to Relive by Sidney
Landon.
An unusual treat is In store for
Morrow county folk who see and
hear Sidney Landon, with his pro
gram of character studies and
speaking likenesses of great literary
men, at the school auditorium next
Thursday evening at 7:30, the
fourth number of Heppner's com
munity course.
By reviewing the greatest literary
men of a century Sidney Landon
has contributed new dignity to the
art of impersonation. With wigs,
grease paints and a precisely vivid
imagination he gives faithful repro
ductions of Mark Twain, Josh Bill
ings, Victor Hugo, Bill Nye, Long
fellow, Thackeray, Tennyson, Kip
ling, Holmes and numerous others.
He completely loses his own identi
ty, assumes a new role and quotes
from the works of the genius im
personated. One of Mr. Landon's most popu
lar presentations is Mark Twain
making his historic birthday speech,
Edgar Allan Poe is pictured in his
story of "Annabel Lee." A humor
ous selection by F. Hopkinson
Smith, a Rudyard Kipling poem, a
humorous reading from James
Whitcomb Riley, Bill Nye's "Amer
ican Boy," and a group of Longfel
low poems are favorites in his rep
ertoire. At Elmira, N. Y., a man from the
audience, after seeing Mr. Landon's
portrayal of Mark Twain, said to
the impersonator: 'We here knew
him so well that it was hard to be
lieve Mark wasn't back. But we
knew it wasn't the original when
you failed to do the one last natural
thing. You failed to pass around
the cigars. That was one of Mark's
favorite customs."
Like compliments to Mr. Landon's
impersonations have been given
without number. He is a rare artist
who will enthrall you so that time
will pass unnoticed.
Many of the later writers, such
as F. Hopkinson Smith, Mark
Twain and James Whitcomb Riley,
Mr. Landon knew personally. Oth
ers, in both England and America,
he has learned to know through
visits to their former homes and
libraries. He has found that the
only way to really know these cel
ebrities and receive their inspira
tion is through personal contact or
by studying their lifetime sur
roundings. With this in mind he
has interviewed relatives and close
friends of Longfellow, Poe and oth
ers, securing intimate touches that
are given realistic interpretation in
the Landon entertainment.
Sedan Leaves Highway,
Turns Bottom Side Up
The Buick sedan of Mrs. Sarah
White of Lexington, driven by her,
parted company with the highway
about a quarter of a mile beyond
the Wightman Bros, barn Tuesday
evening when she was on her re
turn homo from Heppner. The car
went over a small bank and was
turned bottom side up.
Riding with Mrs. White was her
son, Claude, who, in breaking a
glass with his arm In order to crawl
out, received quite a severe sut,
while his mother was pretty well
jarrerd up. They were attended
by Dr. A. H. Johnston and after
medical treatment were able to re
turn home. The wrecking car from
Ferguson Chevrolet company pulled
the stranded sedan out of the ditch
and on to the highway again and it
was found that the machine had
not been seriously damaged.

DIES I SEA TRIP
Word Announces Heart
Failure Second Day Out
From New York.
Word reached Heppner on Sun
day by telephone from Portland
that Mrs. Fannie O. Rood, widow
of the late Edward Rood of Hepp
ner, had died at sea. The news had
been sent to shore by wireless, and
Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Humphreys of
this city were called from Portland
by Mr. F. H. Deshon, who informed
them of the death of Mrs. Rood.
From Wednesday's Oregonian we
have this account:
At the beginning of a long cher
ished and carefully planned trip to
the Mediterranean ports Mrs. Fan
nie O. Rood of Portland and Hepp
ner, Or., is dead. With her nieces,
Nellie and Mildred Catton of Yak
ima and Spokane, Wash., Mrs.
Rood departed February 16 on the
Mauretania from New York, and
on the second day out succumbed
to heart disease, from which she
had suffered for some time.
Arrangements have been made
through the American Express com
pany to have the body of Mrs. Rood
returned to Portland as soon as
possible, probably by a transfer at
sea to another vessel returning to
New York. Funeral arrangements
await advices from a large number
of distant relatives, there being no
direct descendants of either Mr. or
Mrs. Rood.
Mrs. Rood was a member and
consistent supporter of the Central
Presbyterian church of Portland,
and a friend of Albany college. She
was said to be the anonymous don
or of the new organ installed in the
Central Presbyterian church last
year.
Mrs. Rood, who was about 65, was
the widow of Edward E. Rood of
Heppner, Or.
F. H. Deshon of the Deshon Mort

NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING.
Notice is hereby given that the
annual meeting of the Heppner In
vestment Company will be held at
the law office of C. L. Sweek, In the
First National Bank building, Hepp
ner, Oregon, at 7:30 o'clock p. m
Monday, February 25, 1929. Said
meeting is for the purpose of elec
tion of offices and transaction of
such other business as may regular
ly come before it.
C. L. SWEEK, President.
E. D. HALLOCK, Secretary.
Miles Martin reports that the
heavy snow covering his part of
the county still remains, and the
effect of milder weather conditions
has melted it very slowly. It has
been a long continued spell of feed
ing at his place In fact one of the
longest he has experienced and his
life has been spent in this Eastern
Oregon country. The slow melt
ing process is a good thing, how
ever, as it allows the water to soak
into the ground where It Is needed.
Mr. Martin was in Heppner a short
time today looking after business
affairs.
Dogs Attack Sheep at
R. A. Thompson Ranch
Estimating his loss at near 100
head of fine ewes, R. A. Thompson
reported an attack on a flock of
sheep by dogs at his ranch Monday
night Identity of the dogs was not
ascertained, though Mr. Thompson
reported that dogs had been seen
chasing cattle on his place shortly
before and had contemplated put
ting on a night guard to protect
the sheep. However, as the dogs
had showed no signs of molesting
the sheep he neglected to do so. One
of the dogs was killed.
He reported the loss at the court
house Tuesday morning, and will
place a claim against the county
dog fund to cover his loss. This
fund, raised by a dog tax, is for the
purpose of paying for such losses.
The law permits the killing on sight
of sheep-killing dogs.
Legion Will Sponsor
Emergency Committee
In accordance with the program
of the Oregon Department Ameri
can Legion, Heppner Post will spon
sor an emergency committee for
the city. The move, started at the
Monday evening meeting of the
post, contemplates the organization
of a committee whose purpose will
be to take charge of relief work
in case of any disaster or catas
trophe which might occur in the
city or surrounding territory. It Is
expected the organization of a per
manent relief committee would, in
case of disaster, expedite the work
as it would do away to a great ex
tent with the preliminary organiza
tion work usually found necessary.
While the committees' organiza
tion is sponsored by the Legion, it
is expected that each civic, frater
nal and social organization of the
city will appoint a member to serve
on the body. Commander Earl Gil
liam was elected to act as the Le
gion's representative, and the ad
jutant was instructed to invite all
other organizations in town to ap
point representatives. It Is planned
to get the committee together as
soon as all members are appointed
to perfect a permanent organiza
tion. Heppner Post is making plans to
organize teams for membership in
the Junior Baseball League of
America. This league, one of the
major projects of the American Le
gion, is composed of baseball teams
from all over the country. The
teams participate in district games
in each state, the winners of the
district championships playing for
the state titles, and the state win
ners taking part in the intersection-
al tournaments. The national tour
nament is held to determine the best
team in the United States. It is
hoped to organize two teams In
Heppner.

To the Honorable Thirty-Fifth
Legislative Assembly of the State of
Oregon :
Whereas, there is a stretch of 24
miles of road between Service
creek on the John Day highway
and Mitchell on the Ochoco high

a direct connection between the
John Day highway and the Ochoco
highway; and
Whereas, a portion of this road
has been built by Wheeler county
as a market road; and
Whereas, there is under construc
tion by the Federal Bureau of Pub
lic Roads and Morrow county, a
highway between Heppner and
Spray, which, if completed, would
form a link in the highway between
Pendleton, via Heppner and Spray,
through Service creek and Mitchell,
to the Ochoco highway, thus form
ing a through highway from the
