The facts are that . it was decided
by the managment of the Heppner
celebration to retain the best band for
the second day's program, and the
Lexington band secured the services
of three players, cornet, slide trom
bone and a snare drummer, belonging
to Ford's Show Co., to assist them.
The lone band tried to employ these
players but failed to make connections
and did get two players from Heppner
to assist them. The .Lexington band
is composed of men who have played
together for a number of years and are

band treated the Lexington boys very
gentlemanly, and we do not wish to be
understood as saying anything to dis
courage them as they have made good
progress since they organized, and be

be able to put up as good a grade of
music as any band in this part of the
country. We do believe that the bus

blur on Lexington and her people.
