PEACE ANNIVERSARY
Rev. Oscar Paine Delivers
Adress; Fitting Service
Held in Morning.
LOCALS WIN ON GRID
High, Grade School Teams Clash;
Buffet Dinner and Ball Feature
Evening Activities.
Armistice day in Heppner was ob
served as a holiday by schools and
business houses, with local post and
unit American Legion and Auxiliary
taking the lead in a fitting program.
The day's activities included a pa
triotic program at the Star theater
beginning at 10:30 o'clock in the
morning, a double-header football
game between Heppner and Hermis
ton high and grade school teams In
the afternoon, a banquet for Legion
and Auxiliary members, ladies and
escorts in the evening, followed by
the annual ball at the Elks temple.
The morning memorial program
drew a fair attendance. Rev. Oscar
Paine of Hermiston delivered an in
spirational address as the main fea
ture. Rev. B. Stanley Moore deliv
ered invocation and benediction,
with musical numbers by the Aux
iliary trio, Mrs. Coramae Ferguson,
Mrs. Ethel Smith and Mrs. Georgia
Moore, accompanied by Mrs. Lenore
Poulson, and solo by Harvey Miller.
85 Attend Dinner.
Eighty-flve people were served at
the buffet dinner at Legion hall in
the evening. A iarge attendance
was also had at the ball following,
with music furnished by Fletcher's
orchestra of Pendleton.
A number of Hermiston people
were in the city for the football
games, and several remained over
for the evening activities.
Heppner emerged victorious from
the two football games. Results
were, grade school 27-0, high school
39-0. The largest crowd to attend
a football game here this season
was in attendance.
Both Heppner teams showed bet
ter organization than their oppon
ents, and soon after the starting
whistles it was a matter of conjec
ture only as to what the margin
would be. Heppner graders opened
up a power and deception attack
(hat completely swept their smeller
opponents before them, and while
the Hermiston boys fought gamely
throughout, they were unable to
make headway or stem the tide. A
neat double lateral pass gave Hepp
ner its first score early in the game,
while long runs by Jones and Gil
liam were responsible for the three
other touchdowns. Conversions on
two occasions were made by buck
ing the ball across, once on a pass
Gilliam to Schwarz, while . the
fourth attempt via a place kick
failed. W. R. Poulson refereed.
Power Shown by Locals.
Power plays were resorted to al
most entirely by Heppner in the
high school game, with delayed
bucks and reverses netting large
gains. Earl Thomson, full, and Roy
Gentry, quarter, took the brunt of
the offense In carrying the ball,
while Curtis Thomson and Orrin
Furlong at halfback positions, were
the remainder of the "four horse
men." Four of Heppner's six touch
downs were made on straight foot
ball, while two resulted from block
ed Hermiston kicks. One of these
came In the last minute and a half
of play In the first half, when Hepp
ner, klcking-off after touchdown,
blocked a Hermiston punt deep in
Hermiston territory, then bucked
the ball across. Three conversions
after touchdown were made, each
on straight line plunges.
Hermiston was unable to make
first down any time through the
Heppner line, but on resorting to
an aerial attack in the final period,
they made large gains, and twice
the receiver was kept from a touch
down by a lone Heppner tackier.
Ingles of Lexington refereed, and
Tamblyn, Heppner, umpired.

State Commissioner Here,
Says Regulation Wanted
As Business Adjunct.
RAT CONTROL CITED
Biological Survey Man Aids City in
Campaign; Mrs. Mahoney Asks
Help for Red Cross.
J. D. Mickle, Oregon dairy and
food commissioner, made a twenty
minute address at Lions club meet
ing Monday, wasting few words in
a graphic description of the work
of his department of state govern
ment, and conveying to his audience
an intense personal interest in the
position he has filled for seventeen
years. To correct an existing im
pression that the department con
fines itself almost solely to the reg
ulation of dairies, Mr. Mickle quoted
a long list of duties it is called upon
to perform in connection with the
distribution and sale of food pro
ducts, not only for human consump
tion but for animal use as well.
He pointed out that the Oregon
law follows closely the national
pure food law, especially in regard
to adulteration. Adulteration, mis
representation, and sanitation of
food environment are the three ad
ministrative divisions of the depart
ment's work, he said. Citing many
instances of the seizure of unsalable
foods, closing of unlawfully conduct
ed markets and restaurants, and
conducting of better establishments
as the result of the department's
work, Mr. Mickle said experience
had shown that those who wish to
comply with the law welcome in
spection and that in many instances
where suits were necessitated to
bring about better conditions, de
fendants later thanked the depart
ment for the better business enjoy
ed as a result of the action.
Inspection Welcomed.
'The public generally appreciates
foods purchased being as represent
ed," he said, "and confidence en
gendered by concerns handling such
products, naturally results in more
patronage. This applies to the
producer as well as to the retailer,
and the department has drawn no
lines as to where the food is found
in prosecuting its work, feeling that
the farmer is as much obligated to
protect the public food supply as is
the commission man or the retail
merchant. That a new and better
order in the handling of the nation's
food supply is at hand, is evidenced,
Mr. Mickle said, by the United
States Canners association asking
the national government for regu
lation, so that when a purchaser
buys goods bearing its label, they
may know the goods is exactly as
represented. Instead of resenting
regulation as formerly, progressive
concerns are now welcoming it as
an adjunct to business.
Roy Fugate, with the United
States Biological survey in preda
tory animal control work, also
spoke briefly to the Lions, giving an
outline of methods which may be
followed in rat extermination work
within the city. Declaring garbage
disposal sites to be one of the main
breeding places for rats, Mr. Fu
gate said that extermination could
not be hoped for without doing
away with, their habitations. A sys
tematic poisoning campaign along
lines indicated followed by rat
proofing of property should do
away with the pest, he said. He
recommended "K. R. O." (kills rats
only) as being the safest, if not the
deadliest, rat poison, as it effectu
ally kills rats while being thrown
off by other animals. Mr. Fugate
was in the city from Monday till
today, giving demonstrations and
otherwise assisting in a campaign
ofrat extermination.
Secretary Leaves.
Mrs. W. P. Mahoney, chairman
of the Morrow county chapter, Am
erican Red Cross, appeared before
the club to ask cooperation looking
to the success of the annual roll call
which started Tuesday. She ex
pressed the hope that everyone
would contribute, stating that fifty
cents of each dollar membership
subscribed locally stays in the coun
ty for local use. Group memberships
especially were urged, as from these
five dollar amounts, $4.50 remains
with the local chapter.
Lions gave a rousing farewell
vote of thanks to Earl D, Hallock,
who resigned as secretary on leav
ing for The Dalles where he will
be located. Mr. Hallock had served
faithfully in the capacity since the
club's Inception. The directors ap
pointed Jasper Crawford to fill the
unexpired term.
THANKS EXPRESSED.
To the Editor:
I wish to express through the me
dium of your paper, my sincere
thanks to the voters of Morrow
county for the hearty support given

John II. Lewis, Engineer,
Advises Payment Now
To Save Money.
Morrow county people who owe
taxes levied by the John Day Irri
gation district have an opportunity
to save themselves money by pay
ing those taxes before the first of
the year, declared John H. Lewi3,
Portland engineer to whom the dis
trict is heavily obligated, while In
Heppner Friday in connection with
the matter. Mr. Lewis pointed out
that the time limit on outstanding
warrants expires next year, and
that mandamus proceedings to
force collection of the tax for their
payment may be instituted if the
tax is not voluntarily paid.
Outstanding indebtedness of the
district now amounts to $11,000,
about half the amount of uncollect
ed taxes, he said. In the event
mandamus proceedings were insti
tuted, it is highly probable a new
survey of the district would be nec
essary, involving a reassessment,
which at a low estimate, would
more than double the district in
debtedness. Mr. Lewis said he had
no intention of forfeiting the am
ount due him, and would take nec
essary steps for collection.
He holds that payment now of
due taxes is the cheapest way out
for those affected, and for this rea
son urges district members, of
which he is one, to follow the cheap
er course. Mr. Lewis said he him
self is a landowner within the dis
trict, and for this reason does not
relish the idea of facing a heavier
tax burden.

HISTORIC LONDON SEEN;
LOCAL GIRL TELLS TRIP
By LILLIE A. ALLINGER.
I was very happy to be one of the
Christian Endeavor party of 450
who boarded the Cameronia bound
for Glasgow. The Cameronia is a
Scotch boat of the Anchor branch
of the Cunard Steamship line and
all of the ship's officers and stew
ards and stewardesses had a de
lightful Scotch brogue. The cour
tesy and kindness that we received
from them is incomparable and will
always be a pleasant memory to me.
The passage was n-ugh and many
were very ill. Fortunately I did
not get seasick either going or re
turning. We were all happy, how
ever, when at 5 o'clock one morning
we were roused to see Ireland. The
Cameronia slowed down off the
coast of Ireland and discharged pas
sengers for Londonderry. And Ire
land is as green as they say! A
beautiful, seemingly luxuriant
green. I looked out of my porthole
and at last realized why they call
Ireland the "Emerald Isle."
Then along the Scotch coast and
finally into the beautiful river
Clyde, skirting the land of Bobby
Burns and passing many palatial
residences along the river's edge,
among them that of Harry Lauder,
We docked at Glasgow, the
world's largest shipbuilding center
and stayed on board the boat that
night for Glasgow did not have ho
tels enough to accommodate us.
Then through the famous Tros
sacks for the rest of the party and
GRAIN FREIGHT CUT
SET FOR JANUARY!
Interstate Commerce Commission
Upholds Order In Rejecting all
Requests for Rehearing.
That Morrow county farmers will
yet benefit by the Interstate Com
merce commission order which was
to have reduced grain freight rates
by five cents a hundred pounds to
Portland from here effective No
vember 1, but which order was post
poned to take effect January 1, 1931,
seems now assured with announce
ment of the commission that no
further delay will be allowed and
that the reductions will go into ef
fect the first of the year as ordered.
The commission's original order
which affected the revision here
was made effective November 1, but
was postponed until January 1 be
cause of objections, and It has since
been the target of protests by wes
tern, eastern and southern carrier
interests.
In addition the rearrangement of
grain charges was questioned by
representatives of grain producers
and grain handling interests at var
ipus western points.
"The interstate commerce com
mission has voted to deny the var
ious petitions submitted to it for
modification or rehearing in the
grain case," an announcement said.
"This notice is given in this manner
for the informal and early informa
tion of all concerned. Formal orders
will be entered."
In revising the grain rates the
commission necessarily was requir
ed to rearrange eastern and south
ern schedules affecting western
grain and to make a large number
of reductions and increases in the
existing grain schedules.

served in the meeting of the Hepp

to Edinburgh for me, where I had
a nice bout with the flu. Scotland
and all of Its beauties are still clos
ed to me, but I was ready to travel
again when the party moved toward
London.
London will always stand out In
my mind as the city of marvelous
traffic control. And such traffic! So
thick that when one of the double
deck busses came traveling toward
me I shut my eyes and hoped for
the best. Marvelously, almost, It
seemed, the traffic would part and
there I was still whole. They have
no mechanical traffic signals; Just
officers who direct at the intersec
tions with their arms. And quiet.
You will not believe me when I tell
you that I heard only three or four
automobile horns blown while I was
In London. Considerably different
from New York city.
London Is also a city of chimney
pots. Almost every room in a Lon
don home has a coal fireplace and
all of these small chimneys emerge
together surrounded by a larger
brick chimney. There are some
times as many as ten small chim

The lone hotel was completely de
stroyed by fire between 7 and 8 o'
clock Sunday morning. It is be
lieved the fire started from an over
heated stove. The hotel had been
closed while some repair work was
bing done, and E. H. Stiles, the man
who was doing the work, was sleep
ing and preparing his own meals in
the building. The fire was well
under way when discovered by him.
The adjoining building occupied by
Frank Engelman s pastime was
damaged by fire and water. There
was no wind that morning which
made it possible to keep the fire
from spreading. The loss, both to
Mr. Engelman and to Jack Camp
bell, owner of the hotel building, Is
partly covered by Insurance.
A part of the lone hotel was built
many years ago, before the railroad
was built into Morrow county. It
was used as a store and hotel and
later housed the postofflce when it
was moved from Petteysville into
lone. From time to time additions
were built onto the original build
ing until it was quite a comfortable
and commodious hostelry for a
small town.
Mr. Stiles lost most of his cloth
ing, a wrist watch and a sum of
money in the fire and several men
who had rooms at the hotel lost
clothing.
The volunteer fire fighters in lone
deserve much credit for the effi
cient way in which they controlled
the fire.
