1930 CHAUTAUQUA
ENTERTAINS Ml
Junior Event Conducted
Each Morning During
Program in City.
1931 EVENT SIGNED
Audiences During Four Days See
And Hear Flays, Music and
Lectures at Big Tent
Four days of instructive and am
using entertainment was brought to
a close Monday evening, when cur
tain dropped on the play, which saw
the tent packed. Each mornjng a
junior cnauiauqua was neia ior me
entertainment of the children. The
programs were so varied, including
plays, lectures and music, that en
tertainment was provided for every
type of audience. The directors of
the Morrow County Chautauqua as
sociation have signed a contract for
the apperaance of the Chautauqua
in 1931.
The program opened Friday eve
ning with the hilarious comedy,
"Other People's Business," which
kept the audience in an almost con
tinuous state of uproarious laugh
ter. The story was that of an ex
service man who makes his rise
from the shipping department of an
agricultural implement factory, to
own the controlling Interest and win
the hand of the general manager's
daughter.
Musicians Entertain.
On Saturday afternoon that ver
satile company of musical enter
tainers, the Chester Scott company,
pleased with its program of popu
lar instrumental music. The.audl
ence was delighted with eactt per
former, every one a Scott, who
played several instruments master
fully. Chester Scott has a wide
reputation as a great trumpeter.
The company was heard again in
the evening in an orchestral band
concert, In which they played se
lection from the famous composers.
Sunday morning the churches of
the city joined in a union service
at the big Chautauqua tent Rev.
Glen White, pastor of the Methodist
church, delivered the sermon, "One
Pearl." Special musical numbers
were sung by a union choir.
An unusual musical organization,
the Loveless quartet, the make-up
of its personnel being twin boys
and twin girls, entertained with vo
cal and instrumental selections Sun
day afternoon and evening. The
quartet has gained fame with its
radio broadcasts and phonograph
recordings. The best loved songs,
old-time tunes and popular music
had a part on the two programs.
On the evening program E. J. Pow
ell, former pastor of the First Bap
tist church of Kansas City, Mo., in
his talk, "Masters of the Morrow,"
a lecture on the active problems of
the present generation, kept his
auditors on the alert with his spark
ling wit and interesting manner of
speech.
Lethe Coleman Speaks.
One of the Associated players en
tertained in piano solo in the open
ing of the Monday afternoon pro
gram. Miss Lethe Coleman's trav-tlog-lecture
which followed was con
sidered by many one of the out
standing features of the 1930 Chau
tauqua. She took one to far away
places, telling of her thrilling ex
periences and impressions on her
trip around the world. The gerater
portion of her time was spent in
telling of Hawaii, Japan, Korea, the
Philippines, China, Siam, Burma,
India, Malay and Egypt, while she
told briefly of European countries.
The comedy-drama, "The Big
Pond," a recent Broadway stage
success, was presented before a
packed tent Monday evening. The
many laughable situations in the
thread of the story kept the aud
ience in a Jovial disposition from
start to finish. An American girl
on a tour to Italy falls in love with
a Frenchman, and In order to prove
that she will love him as much In
America, has her father put him to
work In his Ohio rubber factory,
He is about to lose her, but wins out
just before the story closes.

of yellow pine timber as may be
found anv place in tne umtea
States, and now ripe for cutting,
will be tapped on completion of the
Heppner-Spray road, he asserted,
He also called special attention to
the favorable conditions for grow
ing potatoes, and operating dairies
in south Morrow county in the re
gion of the new road.

In to the recent acquirement by out
side 'milling interests, reported as
well financed, of the old Slocum mill
site. Entirely new machinery is be
ing installed, and when the mill gets
under way It is expected from 2U to
30 men will be employed and an av
erage of a carload of lumber a day
wlil be shipped from Heppner. He
thought it might be well for the
Lions club to give whatever encour
agement It might to the enterprise,

HEPPNER TO SHIP
LUMBER EACH DAY
New Saw Mill to be Modern One
Employing 30 Men to Make
35,000 Feet a Day.
Heppner is soon to be the rail
shipping point of a carload or more
of pine lumber daily, for extensive
operations are now under way to
open a mill on the site of the old
Harrison Fisher mill. The proper
ty has been sold by Al Henriksen
to the Eagle Creek Lumber com
pany of Eagle Creek, Oregon.
The old buildings have been torn
down, and new ones are replacing
them. A new boiler and new ma
chinery is being installed, to pro
vide for an up-to-date plant. A 60
horsepower tractor is on the
grounds, and will be used In hauling
the logs to the mill.
The work is going ahead steadily
for the sawmill which will have a
daily output of approximately 35,000
feet Shipments from Heppner will
be in the form of green lumber. The
mill will employ a crew of between
20 and 30 men.
COOKING SCHOOL
ATTRACTS WOMEN
Home Service Workers Show Ways
To Obtain Best Results With
Electricity in Cooking.
That there is plenty of interest in
that old-fashioned art of cooking, in
this modern age, is shown by the
fact that 65 womer:iwere present
Thursday afternoon, and 70 Friday
afternoon, at the Hotpoint cooking
school conducted at the local office
of the Pacific Power and Light com
pany by Miss Elsie Goodell, home
service worker, assisted by Miss An
ita Ladd. Both of the young wo
men are in the employ of the com
pany, having their headquarters at
The Dalles, and when not devoting
their time to conducting cooking
schools, are available to housewives
in their homes, to aid with their
problems in electric cookery.
The best methods of using elec
tric ranges were shown. This in
cluded use of the oven, and auto
matic timing devices, in which, use
of the latter eliminates waste of
time incurred by the constant at
tention required by earlier methods
of cooking. Ways to economy in the
use of electricity were demonstra
ted. Refrigeration by electricity
was explained. The women were
told how to make tempting dishes
with an electric cooker pot, which
may be attached to any light cord.
Included in the demonstrations
were the making of cakes, pies,
rolls, cream puffs and salads. A
nunfiber of recipes were given to
those attending. As the old story
goes, "the proof of the pudding is
in the eating." Those having an
opportunity to sample the foods
cooked, declared them to taste every
bit as good as they looked, proving
Miss Goodell and Miss Ladd just as
efficient cooks as they are demon
strators. A drawing was held each after
noon with prizes being awarded for
lucky numbers. Miss Opal Staple
ton won an electric table stove and
Mrs. L. E. Bisbee, a tuna fish salad,
Thursday, while on Friday an elec
tric toaster was wop by Mrs. Noah
Clark of Eight Mile and a cake by
Alice Cason.
Program Marks Close
Vacation Bible School
A fine program, illustrative of the
work learned by them during the
dally vacation Bible school was
staged by the 50 children who com
pleted the 10-day course at the
Methodist church Thursday eve
ning.. Verses that had been learn
ed, recitations, religious songs and
stories, all had a part in the pro
gram.
An exhibit of the handiwork car
ried out by the boys and girls was
shown to the visitors. The boys
made wooden footstools, and the
girls raflla mats. An exhibit of art
work done by the pupils was also
shown.
The classes were in session each
morning during the 10-aay period.
Much of the success of the school
is credited to members of the
church who assisted In the instruc
tional work, and tho mothers, who
saw that their children were started
promptly each morning to join the
classes at 9 o clock. Certificates
were awarded those satisfactorily
completing the work.
Ellis Thomson, who has been at
tending the University of Oregon,
Eugene, arrived home In Heppner
Wednesday.
EWI
IE
WITH LOCALS, 14-9
Heavy Hitting by Both
Teams is Feature of
Fray Played Here.
FANS ENTERTAINED
Fine Brand of Baseball Displayed
By Members of Both Teams
On Various Occasions.
Heppner played lone at Rodeo
field Sunday. The score was 1-up
when the visitors came to bat in
the fourth, and so far had been a
ball game. In the fourth lone open
ed up with the heavy artillery, de
molishing everything Pitcher Aune
had to offer that came within range,
smasning out six hits, walking
twice, running in seven tallies, and
putting Mr. Aune on the bench af
ter he had settled down to fan the
twelfth opponent and stop the rally.
The local lads were not so badly
outdone at that. In the eighth they
confronted Pitcher Ritchie en toto
and jogged in five runs, which, in
cluding the one in the third and
two in the sixth gave them a count
of eight In the sixth lone had add
ed three more, and one more In the
eighth, so that at this juncture they
still had the edge of the 12-8 score,
lone came across with two more in
the ninth, while Heppner got but
one. Final score 14-9.
Game Proves Amusing.
After the fans got over'belng dis
appointed at the ball game ending
in the fourth, they gradually be
came amused at the new sport the
boys had introduced, and left the
game in the best of humor. Sports-
writers have called such pastimes
trackmeets, but this fails to accur
ately describe the way in which the
Heppner and lone boys besported
themselves. Theirs conveyed more
the sock-the-apple, throw-the-apple,
drop-the-apple idea, a burlesque
with just enough baseball thrown
in to justify their wearing uniforms
of ball players for the occasion
Rich" Lundell looked like a big
leaguer when he stepped out of the
short patch to nab a hot grounder
one-handed behind second base, In
his stride, and in the next stride
made a nice throw to first to catch
the runner by inches. N. Swanson,
another lone boy who protected the
left-field pasture, made just as pret
ty an exhibition when he raced up
the race-track mound and caught
a high fly against the fence, outside
the diamond by yards.
Many Flies Hit
Fly balls were much the order for
the sock-the-apple boys, and by and
large there were well received. But
in telling of shortstops, Heppner's
Bub Bleakman is not to be over
looked. After handling every chance
that came his way, and not all of
them easy, Bub made a fitting cli
max for his good work by taking
a drive and tossing the ball over
to second base in a snappy double
play that retired lone their last time
up.
Hank Robertson was relieved be
hind the bat by Clarence Moore in
the fifth, and going into the box
for Aune, Hank did his part to
make the fracas still resemble a
ball game. But the boys would
drop-the-apple.

ROOTS IN MAIN
CUT OFF WATER
Trouble Located and Repaired;
Patrons City Water System
May Resume Irrigation.
A few roots in the main of the
city's water system caused much in
convenience to residents of the com
munity for a number of days during
the past week. The first indication
of the trouble developed Friday
night when practically the entire
flow of water to the city was shut
off by some unknown force.
By boring holes in the pipeline at
intervals, the location of the stop
page was determined. When the
plugged section was found, it was
discovered that a mass of roots
about three feet long and about sev
en inches in diameter had become
detached from the pipe at the point
of entry and had been forced down
the main until, caught by a pro
truding mass of concrete that had
resulted at the time the pipe was
laid.
After the line became plugged a
back pressure resulted which caus
ed the four or five breaks, which at
first were believed to be the only
defect in the line.
To relieve the situation water was
provided the city by pumping from
a well previously used by the city.
Pumping from this well continued
from Sunday morning until Tues
day night. Nearly a day was lost
in making the repairs because of
the location of the trouble, for it
was such that it required digging
about 150 feet of ditch to drain the
area where the damage occurred.
Now that the obstruction has been
removed and the pipe line put into
repair, more water is flowing than
before the obstruction occurred, ac
cording, to W. E. Pruyn, water de
partment superintendent Users of
city water may resume irrigation
tonight
