GRANGERS GATHER
IN DISTRICT MEET
Stan field is Host; Large
Class Initiated; Busy
Time Had.
MRS. ALGOTT LUNDELL
Morrow and Umatilla county Po
monas met In joint session at Stan
field on Thursday, October 17. This
meeting proved one of the most in
teresting and instructive Pomona
meetings that the writer has attend
ed. A large crowd assembled for the
business session in the morning, at
which time the reports of the sub
ordinate granges of both counties
were read, nearly all showing
growth. Two subordinates report
building new grange homes to start
in the early winter months. Many
helpful suggestions were offered by
Geo. A. Palmiter, worthy state mas
ter. By vote of the order, Morrow
County District Pomona name was
changed to Morrow County Po
mona. About three hundred guests were
served during the noon hour at a
sumptuous cafeteria dinner, besides
the down-town lunch rooms being
filled.
In the afternoon a splendid pro
gram under the supervision of Mor
row County Pomona lecturer was
enjoyed. The Irrigon Club band
added materially to the program
with its "peppy" music. Vocal solos
and quartet numbers completed the
musical features while several hu
morous readings added zest
In his address Brother Palmiter
mentioned some of the achieve
ments in which the grange has had
a vital part law making, postal
service, etc. He also spoke of the
future projects In which the grange
is interested, Including lieutenant
governor for Oregon, development
of natural resources, income tax,
farm relief bill, and the effect of the
proposed Hawley-Smoot bill.
The business of the evening ses
sion Included the adoption of sever
al resolutions: First, favoring a
committee on public domain for Or
egon the names endorsed by Baker
County Pomona, Messrs. Phillips of
Baker, Warner of Pendleton and
Jameson of Prlnevllle; second, Uma
tilla County Pomona favoring the
proposed provision of funds for a
much needed court house at Pen
dleton; third, thanking Stanfield
grange for their royal hospitality.
A band concert opened the eve
ning program. The beautiful grange
memorial ceremony was read in
memory of Warren Cool of Willows
grange, who passed away on Octo
ber 11. A drill by the Willows drill
team, composed of the young folks
of the grange, was much enjoyed.
Greenfield grange exemplified the
degree of Pomona in an Impressive
manner to a class of 32, sixteen be
coming members of Umatilla Pomo
na and sixteen joining Morrow Po
mona. Tableaux of "Hope" and "P.
of H." added beauty and dignity to
the degree work.
As Greenfield grange had the lar
gest delegation when the count was
made at 2 o'clock, the Morrow Coun
ty Pomona banner became its
charge for the next three months.
Everyone in both counties greatly
enjoyed the joint session and hope
to meet together on a future date.

Chinese pheasant hunting, accord
ing to reports of the State Game
commission has not been as good
in Oregon this season as It has
been in the past. This is said to be
due, in no small measure, to the
fact that the late, cold and rainy
spring cut down the first hatch of
young pheasants. The second and
third hatches, which came In dry
warm weather proved up to normal.
On the other hand quail hunting in
those counties that have an open
season, has been extremely good.
Strange as It may seem, in open
counties there appear .to bo more
birds than there are In those dis
tricts that are closed. This Is due,
It is contended, to the breaking up
of flocks and the consequent cutting
down of Inbreeding, which results
in more non-fertile eggs.
Lions Gain Headway;
Committees are Named
Fixing of dues and discussion of
committee appointments was the
main business before an executive
committee meeting of the Lions
club In Legion hall Tuesday eve
ning. Careful consideration of com
mittee appointments is necessary to
get the right men, and the right
men in the right place is essential
to a successful organization, Is the
belief of Jas. M. Burgess, president
Directors also wanted it to be
known that the Lions club is not
an exclusive organization, and ex
tends the invitation to any desir
ing to become members to make
application.
A lively meeting Monday noon
developed a still more lively inter
est among members, who look for
ward to a great season of activity.
President Burgess Is arranging a
special program of entertainment
for luncheon next Monday, and ex
pressly urges all members to make
it a point to attend.

Opens New Funeral
Home at Heppner
R. C. Phelps, who recently came
to Heppner from Wapato, Wash.,
to make this city his permanent
home, announces the opening of
the Phelps Funeral Home on Mon
day, October 28th, In the Mahoney
residence in southeast Heppner. Mr.
Phelps, who is a licensed embalmer
in both Oregon and Washington,
has had much experience in this
work, and he will have as his as
sistant, Mrs. Phelps. The large
dwelling has been remodeled for the
convenience of their work, a repos
ing room, casket display room, and
preparation room being installed.
Room has also been provided for
holding small funeral services when
desired, and Mr. and Mrs. Phelps
also have their living quarters in
the residence. .A nice little gray
motor hearse, and also a sedan am
bulance will be a part of the equip
ment, Mr. Phelps states, and the
ambulance service will be available
day or night '
Mr. and Mrs. Phelps arrived at
Heppner some four weeks ago, and
they have been quite busy since in
getting the funeral home in readi
ness and properly equipped.
As yet the all-important question
of who is the champion croquet
player of the city has not been set
tled. A battle royal was on the first
of the week at the Phelps court
Messrs. Phelps and Dix contending
with Huston and Humphreys, the
latter being victorious by a scratch,
so the report has it Dix has been
high man during the season and
this has caused Humphreys a lot of
worry, to say nothing of sleepless
nights, lying awake planning how
he was to get the lead, Dix being
the only player that caused him this
unsettled state of mind. The con
test is still on, however, and the
only way to prove the championship
is for Humphreys to take Dix on
single handed, and if he wallops
him, then he may be privileged to
lay claim to champion for the sea
son. We understand the challenge
is out and that this will be the next
battle to occur on the Huston court
After that some of the other play
ers may step in and lick the winner,
no telling.
Mrs Henry Cohn was quite ser
iously burned on the arm and body

LEXINGTON STORE
ENTERED TUESDAY
Some Cash, Goods Taken;
Evidence Leads to Local
Talent, Belief.
After making off with the cash In
the till, helping themselves to sev
eral cartons of tobacco, a side of
bacon and a portable typewriter,
one of the supposed three men who
broke into the Howard Lane mar
ket and pastime at Lexington Tues
day night may have left his card.
A receipt from a Lexington store
issued for the purchase of some
silk stockings to a man known by
Mr. Lane, and found on the floor
near the cash register, is the card
which may serve as a clew to the
Identity of at least one of the men,
is Mr. Lane's belief. That there
were three men involved In the
break is conjectured from three
helpings of ice cream, the remains
of which were found in the pas
time. Apparently entering through the
pastime, which is partitioned off
from the market the men bored a
hole through the door between the
two store rooms and slid the bolt to
gain entrance to the market They
attempted to open the safe but were
unsuccessful. The first covering of
iron was laid back in top of the
safe, as one would open a can with
a jacknife, two slits crossing and
the intervening sections bent up
ward. After digging into the filler
beneath for several inches, this pro
cedure was evidently given up as
hopeless. The combination knob and
bolt handle were broken off the safe
door, also.
One of the men likes cheese, It Is
thought as a brick of cheese waa
found with a corner bitten out leav
ing very distinct teeth marks.
Among missing articles, Mr. Lane
reports. Is an "N. S. F." check which
was among others In the till. This
check, drawn by a man whom Mr.
Lane says is a good friend of the
man to whom the receipt was is
sued, was apparently sorted out
from the rest as no other checks
were taken that the owner could
ascertain.
The sheriff's office at Heppner waa
notified immediately the break was
discovered Wednesday morning, and
officers who arrived on the scene
shortly were successful in picking;
up finger prints. The receipt was
picked up later as the boys In the -
store started to put things in order.
That the men were In the store tin
cloBe to opening time is Indicated
by the state of the ice cream left
in the cartons from which they had
been eating. This had not entirely
melted. Car tracks were found In
the brush behind the store where
it is thought the men had the auto
mobile parked in which they made
their escape.
