MYSTERY SHROUDS
JUNIOR CLASS PLAY
Presentation Tomorrow Evening to
Reveal Hidden Secrets of
"The Yellow Shadow."
At 8 o'clock tomorrow evening
the curtains will open on the first
act of "The Yellow Shadow," the
junior class play, at the auditorium-gymnasium.
Shots are heard in the dark. A
man is murdered and people appear,
then disappear without explanation.
Who are they and what do they
want? Who is the dead man? These
questions will be answered Friday
night by the following characters
and their parts in the mystery
drama: Mildred Marvin (Ilene Kilkenny)
plays as an attractive young lady
from New York. She has Inherited
the estate from her uncle and has
decided to live there and get close
to nature in the woods of the north
west. Miss Marvin is very brave and
not afraid of criminals and boot
leggers but is most certainly not
used to this mysterious "wild" west.
Mr. Gilbert Wright (Edwin Dick),
a middle-aged attorney, and guar
dian of Miss Marvin, is determined
throughout the play to help solve
the mysteries of Viewcrest Jed
Travis (Howard Furlong) is a very
mysterious character. He places
himself in a suspicious position by
his wild and wierd talk about the
gillyoo birds. He seems to know
more than he admits. Nell Travis
(Lorena Wilson) Jed's wife and the
housekeeper at Viewcrest, is an
other of the suspicious characters.
She adds to the suspicions against
herself by her strange answers and
speeches.
Sheriff Macklin (Ervin Perlberg)
claims to be the only one In the
whole county who has taken a "de
teckative course." He knows all
about criminals and their crimes
according to his own opinion. Her
bert Marvin (Joe Green) is the
brother of Mildred Marvin. He ap
pears on the scene shortly after the
murder and gives very suspicious
accounts of his adventures. The
sheriff is sure that Herbert has
something to do with the mystery.
Hazel Wayne (Jennie Swendig), the
cousin of Mildred Marvin, is a very
attractive spinstress, age "about"
40 years. She does not like the
"wild and wooly" west and does not
mind telling you so.
Jennie Steel (Frances Rugg) the
county coroner, is a very modest
young lady. She knows little about
crime and murder and is frank in
admitting so. Jennie, however, de
termines to help the sheriff as much
as she can and wherever the sheriff
goes, Jennie is not far bhind.
Alice Perkins (Jessie French) is
the life-long chum of Mildred Mar
vin. She is a veiy modern young
girl and is very brave. Wong Song
(William Schwarz), a mystery him
self, adds much more to the queer
happenings by his appearances and
disappearances.
There will be a matinee at two
o'clock Friday afternoon largely for
children. The prices are: grade
school, 5c; high school 10c, and
adults 25c. The evening prices are
grade and high school, 15c; adults
25c.
Morrow County Products
On Display in Portland
An array of Morrow county prod
ucts was taken to Portland this
week by C. W. Smith, county agent,
to be displayed In the Sixth Ave.
windows of the Public Service
building. The display sponsored by
the Heppner Commercial club and
the Pacific Power & Light Co., is
one of several from various com
munities in Oregon and Washing
ton which have been shown at two
week intervals during the past few
months. The displays have received
favorable mention by the Portland
press, as well as individuals who
had no conception of the resources
and productivity of eastern Oregon
and Washington. All Morrow coun
ty people who expect to be in Port
land between January 15th and 28th
should take time to inspect the ex
hibit or our products.
Ralph Scott was in town Wed
nesday from his place near Lexing
ton. He was exhibiting a front
foot of a hog the outside toe of
which was split about its full length
underneath. Mr. Scott killed four
porkers the first of the week, and
each of them presented the same
phenomena in both front feet, and
he was quite puzzled to know the
cause. Upon first thought he was
Impressed that the hogs were af'
dieted with some sort of hoof dis
ease; however, it is more likely
that the injury was caused in some
manner while the animals were
feeding. This is the opinion of
those to whom he presented the
case, including one of our physl
clans who is satisfied the pigs were
not afflicted with any disease. Mr.
Scott reports the hogs were in fine
condition aside from the split toes,
and this affliction went no farther
than the foot.
Workmen are busy at the Chris
tlan church this week making long
needed repairs outside and inside,
FOR PUBLIC FETE
Bank Officials, Local
Committee to be Ban
quet Honor Guests.
URGE ROAD'S FINISH
To Ask Completion of Final 2.5
Mile Gap; Alpine Junket, Red
Cross Drive Discussed.
News received Monday of the def
inite opening date of the local
branch of the First National Bank
of Portland set the Lions club to
work on its part of the opening day
celebration, the arrangement of a
big public banquet to fete visiting
officials and members of the local
contact committee. Plans for this
event were discussed at the club
meeting Monday, with definite ar
rangements left in the hands of a
committee composed of Gay M. An
derson, J. O. Turner, F. W. Turner,
Earl Eskelson, J. H. Gault and L.
E. Dick. Special musical numbers
were left in the hands of the club's
regular program committee.
S. E. Notson, president of the
commercial club, announced com
mittees that will handle the com
mercial body's good will junket to
Alpine on Saturday, Feb. 3, when
local people will present a program
before the meeting of the Alpine
Farm Burean. Mr. Notson extend
ed an invitation to all Heppner peo
ple to join in this occasion, and es
pecially asked the cooperation of
those who may be called upon to
assist with the program. The com
mittee named to prepare the pro
gram is Jasper Crawford, Earl W.
Gordon and Ray P. Kinne. Frank
Turner, Earl Eskelson and C. J. D.
Bauman were put in charge of
transportation. A similar program
was presented at Alpine last year,
the pleasantness of which was re
called by Mr. Notson, who com
mended the warm hospitality ex
tended on the former occasion and
expressed appreciation of the re
turn invitation.
Bleakman Cites Road Work.
Completion of the Heppner-Spray
road, a major project of the club
since its organization, was brought
up for discussion by G. A. Bleak
man who called attention to the fact
that the present link of 3.2 miles
would be finished within the next 60
to 70 days with weather conditions
remaining favorable, and that the
final gap of 2.5 miles, all easy con
struction, should be given imme
diate attention. Mr. Bleakman, a
pioneer advocate of the Heppner
Spray road, believed the additional
link should be advertised for bids
at once as the contractor now on
the ground is in position to save the
state money on the work.
Acting on Mr. Bleakman's sug
gestion, W. W. Smead, chairman of
the club's road committee, said he
would have his committee get busy
immediately to ascertain the pos
sibilities of getting the job put up
for bids. Timber interests in the
vicinity are especially anxious to
see the road completed, Mr. Notson
said.
Some new Information was given
by Mayor Gay M. Anderson on the
matter of Heppner obtaining an
airport from CWA dlvisipn of aero
nautics money. Since receiving
word that Heppner was definitely
out of the picture for this work,
Mr. Anderson had received a more
recent letter from the Portland of
fice saying that there were pros
pects of an enlarged appropriation
to carry on this work. Blanks were
enclosed for making application,
which will be considered if more
money is provided by congress. The
blanks were turned over to the
club's airport committee.
Bigger Locks Wanted.
Again bringing up the subject of
the Columbia river development,
Mr. Notson said that Hood River
and The Dalles people are not sat
lsflcd with the larger locks author
Ized by the army engineers in con
nectlon with the Bonneville dam,
as the locks are not yet large
enough to permit ships of any size
to pass through, and they are con
tinuing their fight. He also had
word from E. P. Dodd, executive
secretary of the Trl-State Develop
ment league, that there Is a good
chance of another large appropria
tion for public works being passed
by the present session of congress,
in which event the brief of the Uma
tilla Rapids development, now In the
hands of Secretary Ickes, will un
doubtedly be in line for consider
tion. Mr. Dodd also gave the In
formation that eastern Washington
people are preparing to carry on
the fight for upper river develop
ment.
Mr. Notson, Mr. Smead and Earl
Eskelson, the club a Red Cross SO'

response from the Heppner bus!

(Continued on Put Four)
The Future Brightens
Morrow COUNTY rejoices in announcement
of the opening of the Heppner branch of the First
National Bank of Portland next Monday. Having
been without a bank since the local banks closed
under moratorium October, '32 starting liquida
tion last January the people have sorely felt the
inconvenience of doing business without a bank.
The past is history. And a renewed faith and
confidence brightens the prospect of the future.
Not only is Morrow county to be served by a
strong, substantial banking institution which in
itself reflects security for the funds entrusted to
it, but with the government standing solidly be
hind the depositors' money accounts being in
sured up to $2500 in amount no safer place for
anyone's money may be found. No longer is it
necessary to stick one's funds away in postal sav-'
ings, sending them clear out of the county, in or
der that they may be secure. The government
now offers the same security to funds in the local
bank, where its freer circulation through checks
and loans helps to stimulate local business.
The lack of free circulation of money such as
can be had only through local banking facilities
has caused much hardship here the last year.
When the stringency became so acute at one jtime
that it was necessary to issue local scrip Sheep
skin Scrip, the fame of which spread over the en
tire country this comparatively slight addition
to the local currency was found to bring allevia
tion, and many credit it with being responsible
for holding up the business structure of the city.
Now the scrip is hardly noticeable. More than
half the issue has been redeemed with Uncle
Sam's iriony, and what is left of it, soiled as it is
from heavy usage, now changes hands more sel
dom. It will certainly all be redeemed by the due
date at the end of this year, a good servant whose
memory will be dear.
Already through the government measures that
have been taken to give the people use of Uncle
Sam's money once more, impetus has been given
to local business. It is hoped the wheat allotment
checks will reach the county shortly, and with the
CWA funds being released weekly, and the im
provement in business conditions generally, Mor
row county's new bank should find a fertile field
for progress. And in giving the service that is its
wont, the bank will assist in upbuilding the econ
omic future of the county.
Therein is real cause for rejoicing.

HAS NEW YEAR'S LAMBS.
Early lambing has become popu
lar in Morrow county in latter
years, but seldom does New Year's
day let the light of the world into
the eyes of newly born lambs as
far south as Heppner. The unusual
happened last New Year's day how
ever, at the farm of J. G. Barratt,

MORTON IS MANAGER
Recent Liquidator at Wasco Will
Have Charge Here; Merle Becket,
Reita Neel on Staff.
Plans of The First National Bank
of Portland to establish a branch
office at Heppner took definite form
yesterday when a permit for estab
lishment of the branch was received
from the comptroller of currency's
office in Washington, D. C.
"The First National bank applied
for a permit after we had been peti
tioned by Heppner residents to es
tablish an office there," stated E. B.
MacNaughton, president of the
First National bank. "The Hepp
ner district has been without bank
ing facilities for more than a year.
Since the community is the natural
trading center for the wheat, cattle
and sheep industries of that dis
trict, the lack of convenient bank
ing facilities was keenly felt. We
are glad that, in keeping with our
policy of providing adequate state
wide banking service, it is possible
for us to open an office where it Is
so obviously needed."
The Heppner branch will open
January 15 in the former quarters
of the First National bank of Hepp
ner, which has been closed since
October, 1932.
Bank Manager Named.
E. L. Morton, deputy superinten
dent of banks in charge of liquid
ating the Bank of Commerce at
Wasco, Oregon, will be manager of
the new branch. Morton was born
in Ontario, Oregon, and has been
for many years In the banking bus
iness in livestock and agricultural
districts of the state. He has serv
ed as director of the Vale Irrigation
project and for the past six years
has been a member of the Vale
Owyhee Land Settlement board
formed in connection with govern
ment projects in Malheur county.
Morton served with the 91st (Wild
West) division in France and Bel
gium during the World War, and
was with banks at Harper and On
tario from that time until 1931.
when he entered the employ of the
state banking department He is
married and has two children, Jack,
10, and Arlene, 13.
"Morton's experience in Malheur
county projects has made him ac
quainted with the problems of both
the irrigated and the s e m l-a r 1 d
farm," said Mr. MacNaughton.
"Branch managers must be ac
quainted with and experienced In
tne proDiems or the districts they
serve, and we believe Morton's past
experiences especially qualify him
for managing this new Heppner
branch."
Merle Becket has been named as
sistant manager. Becket is a Hepp
ner resident and was born at West
on. He has spent most of his life
in this district, graduating from
Heppner high school. He was an
employe of the First National bank
of Heppner until 1927, when he left
to attend Oregon State college and
the University of Oregon.
Miss Reita Neel, also of Heppner,
will be the third member of the
bank's staff.
Is Sixteenth Branch.
Opening of the branch here will
bring to 16 the number of branch
offices established by the First Na
tional bank since passage of the
branch banking legislation last
spring. Total resources of the First
National Bank of Portland, as of
December 30, 1933, were $54,449,
667.42. "With the improvement of the
highway south of Heppner, this dis
trict will undoubtedly assume its
importance as a trading center for
the wealthy wheat section south of
Heppner," said Mr. MacNaughton.
"The establishment of a branch of
fice in this district demonstrates
our confidence in the future of
Heppner and our belief In returning
prosperity for the ranchers and
farmers of eastern Oregon."
Mr. MacNaughton and J. H. Mac
kie, vice president of the First Na
tional bank, were In Heppner re
cently. Both are well acquainted
with this district and are widely
known in eastern Oregon.
M ILL MOVE OFFICE.
P. W. Mahoney, attorney, Is ar
ranging to move his office into the
Heppner Hotel building. He will
occupy the rooms recently vacated
by J. P. Conder. Mr. Mahoney,
since locating at Heppner, has had
his office in the rear rooms of the
First National bank building. These
rooms will be occupied by J. L.
Gault, receiver of the Heppner
banks, and his office force. This
will leave the banking rooms ready
for the occupancy of Hcppner's new.
bank.
