A. W. Lundell of Willows grange
discussed the possibilities for irri
gation projects along Willow creek
and Rhea creek, stating that there
seem to be several feasible sites
for dams along these creeks. Hor
ace Addis of Pendleton gave an in
teresting talk on grange work and
stressed the point that the grange
is a social, educational and cooper
ative organization. The grange fa.
vors constructive legislation, but is
non-partisan. It seeks the welfare
of not only the farmer but of all
mankind.

Jess Adrian of Ontario was the
only Malheur county woolgrower to
attend the convention here the first
of the week, and he apologized for
the rest of the boys, who he Bald
were busy preparing for the Feb
ruary lambing season. Malheur
leads the state in wool production,
with Lake and Morrow close in sec
ond and third places.
It may have been the custom in
medieval times, when a visiting
gladiation came to engage your
team in some kind of athletic skill.
for your rooting section to go out
and boo and hiss at the other team.
The rooting section that did the
most hissing and booing was judged
to have the best rooters. But in
these days of humanism and hospi
tality it has been our belief that
these kinds of rooting sections hal
changed for the better, and substi
tuted organized yells instead of
boos and hisses. But we see that
the old custom is being revived
over the country. It is coming
closer to the athletic fields and
floors of Heppner High.
Now you people who have gone
with your team to other towns to
play some kind of game, I want to
ask you a question. Would you
rather be met with hisses and boos
or an organized yell of welcome?
You needn't answer it; we know
what you will say.

Fighting Irish Victors
The Fighting Irish again surged
to victory when they beat the Ar
lington Workers with a score of
21-19. The game was played on the
Arlington floor last Friday evening.
It was without a doubt the fastest
and most exciting game played dur
ing the season. Both teams were
determined to win and up until the
last minute the victory still hung in
the balance. At the half the score
was 9-7 in favor of Heppner. Thru
out the last half the score jig-sawed
up and down, sometimes Arlington
being in the lead and sometimes
Heppner.
With only two minutes to play
the score was 21-19 in favor of
Heppner. Whether they would keep
this lead or not was the thought up
permost in the crowd's mind. The
Fighting Irish passed the 'ball be
tween them trying to keep it from
getting in Arlington's clutches un
til the last whistle would blow. The
two minutes finally passed with
Heppner still retaining their small
lead, which meant victory for them.
The starting line-up for Heppner
was H. Furlong, J. Green, L. Van
Marter, L. Gilman and J. Drlscoll,
F. Jones, substituted.
Basketball Game to be Held
Big home town game. January
18. Echo and Heppner will play
Echo's return game at the gym on
Friday night. This promises to be
an excellent game as Heppner beat
Echo before with a small score. The
Heppner High pep band will appear
at this game for the first time this
year.

Assembly Held Monday
The boys' quartet sang two songs
for the opening number of the as
sembly held Monday afternoon.

In the middle of January the first
semester closes: At this time ev
ery student in the school gives a
sigh of relief because all the work
of the first semester is finished and
those dreadful semester exams are
over. The hope or every stuueni is
that he might be exempted from the
exams but always some student has
his grades too low or too many de
merits against his name. Nearly
every student has at some time or
other become a victim of demerits.
Heard About School:
Paul Phelan saying, "I'm going
to haunt you!"
Mr. Bloom saying, "People. I
must use drastic measures!"
Ilene Kilkenny laugh.

In 1865, when The First
National Bank opened in
Portland, there was no
Morrow County. Heppner
townsite and the sur
rounding territory was
then a part of the little
known Umatilla Country.
Years of Progress
v '
and Growth With Oregon
BeFORE there was a railroad into Oregon . . .
Before more than a handful of settlers had spread
through what is now Morrow County . . . The First
National Bank of Portland was arranging pay
ments for Oregon products shipped to China or
around South America to New York. During this
69 years of growth and change The First National
Bank has continued its early interest in developing
Oregon trade and industry.
In 1865 Portland was a community meeting place
for trappers, sheepmen, miners, and settlers from
all narts of tliA statp. Thpv called at The First
National Bank to exchange their wool, or beaver
hides, or pokes of gold for money with which they
could buy supplies-Today the children and grand
children of these early pioneers bank with The
First National Bank of Portland.
The dependable
banking service
that this institu
tion has rendered
Oregonians since
pioneer days is
now extended to
you in your own
c o m m u nity, at
our Heppner'
Branch. We in
vite you to open
your checking
and saving ac
counts here.
Aiding these generations of Oregonians with their
business and financial problems has given us an
understanding and appreciation of Oregon condi
tions that makes it possible for The First National
Bank of Portland to render you an experienced,
helpful service.
