On the goth it claimed down and the
sun shone. though it was not the only

course stretched big glacier running
toward the south. At its eastern end
was the mountain range going in

Various committees were appoint

was taken with reference to the hold

Club building until such time as 1t
is placed in proper shape. Much
discussion of various subjects was en-
tered into, especially the matter OF
the future action of the CITY concern
ing the water and light situation.
This is problem that is coming on
for settlement soon and requires the
earnest consideration Of the council, {,
as we'll as every citizen of Heppner.
The improvement of cur streets and
alleys and the general cleaning up OF
the towu and identifying of its thor
oughfares is also receiving attention,
as we'll as the sanitary conditions, and
the mayor hiss mapped out sufficient
work for the city fathers to keep them
on the move during their term OF
office.
Ia dealing with the question of the
houses of ill repute within the city
the council decided to refuse to take
any revenue whatever from this
source and the law will be allowed to
take its course with reference to this
class.

The PLAY.

"The Merchant of Venice UO TO
Date" was presented to good audi
euce on Saturday night at the Club
building under the direction of Miss
Lilah CLARK and the Senior class of
the High School, was indeed a treat
to Heppner people. The play itself
is a clever burlesque and it was ham
died in a splendid manner, the prin-
cipal characters all being we'll sus-
tanned. We are sorry that lack of
space, and time as we'll prevents
giving the play mention in detail 3,
as it deserves. There were a number
of the characters presented that de-
serve special mention but will have to
be passed with the remark that as a
whole the students did themselves
proud, and thus added laurels to
those already gained. The cash re-
ceipts totaled nearly S100, and the
class is very proud of the splendid
patronage received, as we'll as the un-
stinted praise heaped upon them in
this effort to present first-class play
to the people of our city.

Much Done, Little Said.

1t is safe proposition that any
reasonably intelligent man who with
out prejudice, will examine the
achievements of the Taft admnistra-
tion in the direction of procuring
reasonable tariff revision will be
compelled by the facts to give his
cordial approval to the Taft policy.
But how many have followed the
determined and successful etfurt of
the president to secure tariff board
and to procure from congress the funds
necessary to develop the facts?
: Had not the impatient members
of the community entrusted the con-
troll of the house to the Democrats,
concrete result of President Taft s
achievements in this direction would
already have been written on the
statutes. With a Democratic house
and a Republican senate it may lie
that no tariff legislation will be
enacted at this session but if there IS
not, it will be solely because the
Democrats are unwilling to father a
revision in accordance with the find
ings Of the tariff hoard.
And yet it is argned, and with
reason, that even those who espouse
the Democratic view that there should
be a wholesale slashing of the tariff
will gain the end they wish more
certainly and more expeditiously by
the Taft method tnan that of Mr.
Underwood and his colleagues in the
house. for it is pointed out that we're
the Democrats in control of the three
branches of government, and were
rhev to pass such legislation as they
have pnt through the house, there
would int vitably follow another reac-
ton, precisely like that which followed
the enactment of the Wilson bill, and
another Dingley bin would be the
result.
If, on the contrary, the revision
of the tariff is effected slowly and
systematically, every step being
supported bv report of the tariff
board showing the reasons therefor
such revision will not cause reac-
ton, but will stanl until the tariff
board shows that still further reduc-
