During the early part of the sum mer a business men's conference was held in Heppner, at which time the benefits of a local credit asso ciation among the business men was thoroughly discussed, the result being that a large number of busi ness and professional men of the city were "sold" on the proposition. At this meeting O. F. Tate of Port land, secretary of the Oregon Retail . Merchants association, was one of the principal speakers, and when the conference was over, he agreed to return to Heppner at any time the business interests here wished him to, and take up with them the matter of organizing a bureau for this city. It had been the intention to have Mr. Tate return here during the month of August, and some thought he would do so, but he did not come as he had not received a request. However, upon being asked by representative business men of the city to come here during this month, Mr. Tate arrived from Pendleton on Monday forenoon, and arrangements were at once made to get the business interests together to discuss the organization. The meeting was held at Legion hall at 2 p. m. Monday, with Mr. Tate acting as temporary chairman and taking sufficient time to go all over the proposition again and to answer any and all questions that might arise concerning the charac ter and workings of a credit asso ciation. Vawter Crawford was ask ed to act as temporary secretary, and some 17 businesses and profes sions were found present and ex pressed their desire to go ahead with the formation of the bureau. It being the desire to take in just as far as possible all of the merch ants and professional men of the county, a motion was made and car ried that the bureau be incorpora ted under the name of the Morrow County Credit association. The el ection of olflcers was then taken up, the following being chosen by bal lot: D. T. Goodman, president; D. A. Wilson, vice president; E. O. Fer guson, M. L. Case, P. M. Gemmell, Dr. A. D. McMurdo and Walter Moore, directors. Mr. Goodman then took charge of the meeting and upon motion duly carried, appoint ed the following committees: dues and assessments, F. R. Brown, E. O. Ferguson and Dr. A. D. McMurdo; membership, P. M. Gemmell, John Hiatt and R. E. Pratt; constitution and by-laws, D. A. Wilson, J. D. Cash and C. L. Sweek. As it was found necessary to at tend to some preliminary work be fore the organization could be com pleted, an adjournment was then taken until 8 o'clock, this, Thursday evening, when some committee re ports will be heard and the further business of completing the organi zation will be taken up. It is hoped that a secretary can be arranged for, an office establish ed and the bureau be In full work ing order by the first of the year, but there will be no unnecessary hurry along this line, the desire be ing to get the organization on a thorough working basis before starting operations. From his long experience In this work, Mr. Tate could assure the business men of Heppner, and those of the entire county as well, that they will have no regrets to offer when the bureau Is once function ing, and he hoped that there would be just as near 100 per cent of the business and professional men of the community on the membership list as it was possible to secure.

Condon Taken 8-0 In Hard Fought Game Heppner high school won their second game of the Upper Colum bia Athletic league season from Condon at Rodeo field Friday af ternoon, 8-0. The locals took the lead in the second quarter when a blocked kick was recovered behind the goal line for a safety, netting two points. A touchdown by Hake in the third quarter, on a play In which he took the ball around end for 20 yards after It had been car ried down the field in a succession of line plunges and end runs, net ted the other six points. Try for extra point was made on a line play, but was not allowed because Heppner was off-side. Heppner came into her own after stemming a Condon march from kick-off that seemed sure of scor ing. Condon took the ball in a suc cession of first downs to within a few yards of the goal. But here the Heppner line stiffened to recov er the ball on downs and Gentry made a beautiful kick out of dan ger. Offensive power was shown by both teams, and large gains were made by each. A number of pen alties for holding early In the game were responsible for keeping down the scoring, Heppner and Condon both being set back at crucial times.

Butler, representative in Congress, is in Heppner today greet ing his constituency and feeling the pulse of this part of his district. Mr. Butler who was elected last November to fill the unexpired term of the late Nihcolas J. Sinnott finds it real work to cover his district, comprising 60,000 square miles, the largest congressional Mstriot In the United States. His home is In The Dalles. Eastern Oregon's representative finds that his district aside from be ing the largest in the nation has as many, if not more, problems than any other. Outstanding are prob ably the reclamation problems, the proper solution of which means much to the growth of the section. In making the rounds, Mr. Butler was especially impressed with the Burns development. He believes this development to be sound, as the lumber interests responsible rank among the largest in the country and cutting is assured for many years. Burns is putting on real airs, he says, having paved their streets, and acquired modern buildings, among the latter being one of the most pretentious hotels to be found in any small city. ATTENTION OF PARENTS OF DEGREE JUVENILES. The Degree of Honor Juveniles will meet at 4 o'clock sharp Tues day, Oct 22nd, In Odd Fellows hall. Both classes will meet together this time. Please note change in place and be on time. Clara Beamer, Clara Beamer, Secty. last week in Hermiston where her daughter Hazel is attending school. Mrs. Harry Yarnell and children have moved into the W. S. Smith home on Second street. Mrs. Kittle G. Turner who has spent the past two months at the home of her sister, Mrs. Elmer Grif fith departed the first of last week for Tacoma where she was called by the serious illness of her brother- in-law, Mr. Cunningham. Mr. Cun ningham died soon after Mrs. Tur ner reached his home. R. E. Harbison complains bitterly because he is compelled to shoot, on an average, a cat a day for every day in the year. This is on account of people permitting themselves to become overstocked with kittens and cats and then dumping them at the warehouse on the supposition that they will go inside, catch mice and live happily ever after, but the truth is a cat that has once lived on hi-yu-muck-a-muck from the kitch en seldom learns new tricks. For this reason these cats end up at Mr. Harbison's kitchen door and hence, of a necessity, the crack of his .22 spells the crack of doom for the cats. Dr. T. O. Anders and Ivan Rem linger of Seattle were visitors in lone over the week end. Wayland Ritchie returned home Saturday after an absence of sev eral weeks. W. H. A. Smith left Saturday for Walla Walla where he goes to visit a cousin, Mrs. Mary Appling. Miss Florence Sliippey of Port land is here to visit her mother, Mrs. Etta Shlppey.

Louy's house on lower Main street IH W PRICES More Cattle to Markets Early Depressive; Egg Shipments Drop. A rather quiet livestock and wool market generally, with hay prices high, is reported in the weekly mar ket review just released by the agri cultural economics department of the Oregon State college extension service. Egg prices have increased to the point where supplies are moving from storage. Poor pastures and Increased feed prices in many sections of the coun try have caused many stockmen to hurry cattle to market earlier than normally which has depressed pri ces for lower grades. No serious rush is expected, however. Hog producers also started heavy mar keting in late summer, though the general market outlook remains favorable after some forced ship ments of light hogs are over. The United States wool clip is now 1 per cent greater than in 1928 although 4 per cent more sheep were shorn. Market is unsteady be cause of foreign conditions. Average farm price for alfalfa hay in Oregon is $2.60 a ton higher than a year ago as compared with a general level throughout the coun try of 50c higher than last year, Poor fall pasture has stimulated the demand for hay at the same time total supplies for the country are some seven million tons lower than a year ago. Case eggs In storage are consider ably below the figure of a year ago and total carlot shipments from west to east are reduced. PIANO RECITAL GIVEN.. The piano pupils of Mrs. M. W.

Lexington and Arlington town football teams met on the Lexing ton gridiron Sunday afternoon In a fast exhibition of the pigskin game. Both teams showed power on of fense, but only once was the ball taken over the goal line for a score. This was by Lexington in the third quarter when Buster Neel, Heppner youth, nabbed an opponents pass and carried it some 30 yards to within a few feet of the goal line from where it was bucked across. The extra point was made by a nicely placed place-kick and the game ended with the score 7-0. Zeller for the Columbia river boys was their outstanding yardage gain er, making many large gains but on every occasion when the ball was taken Into dangerous Lexington ter ritory the Lex line proved impreg nable and the ball was lost either on downs or fumble. Vester Lane, Lex end, was a power on defense as well as being on the receiving end of a number of passes which netted good yardage. CITY WATER SAID PURE, Many samples of Heppner's water supply have been sent to the state board of health by Superintendent Pruyn since August, and the reports received by him have been to the effect that the water tests A-l, Indi cating that it is pure and contains no bacteria of a nature injurious to health.

In line with his policy of keeping his theater up to date in every re spect, B G. Sigsbee, manager of the Star theater, is this week having In stalled the Resco Reproducing sys tem, one of the popular devices for producing talking motion pictures. Announcement has not been made as to when the first talkie will be exhibited with the new equipment, though Mr. Sigsbee promises that it may be looked for In the near future. The new equipment of the Star theater, used in connection with its two late model Powers projecting machines, places Heppner's movie house among the leading small theaters of the country. Talking pictures are still quite in their In fancy, the general acceptance of them, even in the large cities being hardly more than a year old. With. a preponderance of devices for their production flooding the market, all of more or less merit and all quite expensive, it has been a problem for the smaller theater manager to know just what to do. Mr. Sigsbee, while recognizing the merit of talk ies, decided to wait until the trend became more stabilized and to pick a machine which he could be cer tain would meet the needs of his theater. He believes he has now obtained it and that the Heppner public may enjoy as good talkies at home as anywhere. The Resco system, using records for sound effects, is so constructed as to provide complete synchroniza tion between sound and picture. Exceptional tone effects are made possible by the use of dynamic speakers which will carry all sounds evenly and true throughout the theater. Mr. Sigsbee recently had the the ater redecorated in the latest type of interior decoration. Ceiling and walls were done In tan with mot tled gold and silver effects, flower designs being used for trimming. Indirect lighting, when pictures are being shown, makes the theater lighter and airier, giving it a more inviting appearance. Mr. Sigsbee has given careful thought to the elimination of eye strain and every convenience of patrons, and through the improvements has provided Heppner with an up-to-date movie house In every respect Ruth Chapter, 0. E. S., Receives Official Visit Ruth Chapter No. 32, Ooder of Eastern Star, was honored by an official visit on Wednesday evening by Mrs. Carrie Jackson of Baker, associate grand matron of Oregon and district deputy grand matron, who is visiting the chapters of East ern Oregon in her district at this time. In the afternoon there was a school of instruction, and in the evening the ritualistic work was put on, six candidates receiving the degrees. This work was carried out in accordance with the new ritual and the officers were complimented highly by the visiting grand officer for the manner in which they pre sented their parts. Following the initiation, Mrs. Jackson made a very pleasing ad dress in which she demonstrated her ability for the position she oc cupies in the grand chapter. Mrs. Chas. Pratt, who is associate ma tron of a Salem chapter, and Mr. Pratt were present as visitors, and Mrs. Pratt made a floral offering to her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Russell Pratt who with her husband were candidates receiving the degrees, the flowers being emblematic of the degrees of the order and presented with appropriate verse; Mr. Pratt also made a short presentation speech and presented Mrs. Pratt Jr., with a remembrance. Mrs. Caro lyn Johnston of Ruth chapter, at present grand sentinel of Oregon, responded to the invitation of Wor thy Matron Charlotte Gordon for a few remarks, and each of the class of Initiates also had something to offer for the good of the order. Be sides Mr. and Mrs. Russell Pratt, these were Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Poulson, Mrs. Dean T. Goodman and Miss Mary Slocum. The wor thy patron, Frank S. Parker, In a well chosen presentation speech handed Mrs. Jackson a gift from Ruth chapter, which she accepted In a very gracious manner. Light refreshments were served In the dining room following the close of chapter. Mrs. Jackson went on to lone today, and will meet with Lo cust chapter there this afternon and evening.
