Mr.. and Mrs. Gibbons have
company this week.
Thomas Robbins is helping bale
hay at the Cross ranch.
Mr.. Berry got a small boat load
of groceries of L. M. Davis & Co.
Tuesday.
Mr.. Weston brought down a
boat he bought of Mr.. Snow at
Coyote last Monday.
The boatmen were busy trans
fering hay from the Grow ranch
to Castle Rock Wednesday.
This kindo weather makes one
wish to be putting seeds and
plants in the lap of old mother
earth.
Messrs. Weston and Davis cross
ed to the Washinton side Monday
last with flour and groceries for
E. Berry.
Mr.. Davis drove to Irrigon
Monday and brought home two
White Plymouth Rock cockerels
from the pens of Mr.. Smith.
Our new pupils completed their
grades in three days. Pretty fast
work, we call it. When we ask
ed George why the boys quit
school, he said, "they heap fraid
he beat 'em. "
Two former residents of Nor
row and Gillian counties, now

call from our old time Southern |
friend, Mr.. Richardson, of the
West Umatilla Extension, accom-

Make More Bacon.

In passing around our stores
this week we note a considerable
quantity of home cured bacon,
hams and shoulders on display.
This comes in from different
ranches about town and is all
nicely put up, well-favored meat.
Why not more of this? There
certainly is good market here.
and the profit to the hog-raiser is
almost, if not quite, double what
he makes in selling live weight.
We quote, to prove this, the
experience of Jeff Evans, of the
Lexington section. Mr.. Evans,
by the way, is one of our farmers
who works every branch of his
business in the way to make the
best profit and he figures it out
this way:
From 35O pound hog he gets
60 pounds of lard,
60 pounds of hams,
70 pounds of bacon,
50pounds of shoulder
This cured meat he sold at the
prevailing prices for $41.00 Had
he sold on foot he would have
realized but $24.00. Balance in
favor of cured meat, S17.00. Be
sides the above that was disposed
of to the local merchant, he had
an abundance of sausage, head
cheese, spare ribs and back bone
for home consumption and to
spare.
Mr.. Evans puts up a fine line
of cured meats and gets the best
price going.

NEW RULING ON
ISOLATED TRACTS.
Two Years Must Now
Elapse Before Sale.

A change in the regulations
governing the sale of isolated
tracts Of land has been made by
the commissioner of the General
land Office according to informa-
ton we have received.
The principal change is to the
effect that in the future mo tract
of land will be deemed isolated
and ordered into the market un-
less, at the. time application is
filed, the said tract has been sub
ject to homestead entry for at
least two years after the surround
ing lands have been entered, fill
ed upon, or sold by the govern
ment, except in cases where some
extraordinary reason is advanced
sufficient, in the opinion Of the
Commissioner of the general land
Office, to warrant waving this
restriction. F"
For some time prior to the is
suance of the above regulation
the land could be applied for and
sold as an isolated tract as soon
as all the surrounding lands had
been entered or otherwise dis
posed of.
Another feature of the new
regulation is the fact before any
tract of land is ordered sold the
matter is referred to the chief of
field division for inspection and
investigation as to the value of
the land.
These new regulations were
promulgated on January 10Th
1912.

Northwest Exposition In
Minneapolis, 1912.

Seven states have again COM
bined to hold a great exposition to
show the products of their soil,
mines, lakes, rivers, forests and
factories after the harvests are
over and the state and county
fairs have made the collection of
the finest products in the world
available.
The Northwest Products Ex-
position, as it will be called, will
be held in Minneapolis November
IL to %. The seven states which
will participate are Minnesota,
North and South Dakota, Mon
tana, Idaho, Washington and
Oregon.
To make this exposition poss-
ible the business men of Minnea-
polls will erect a building Of solid
steel, brick and concrete with a
great exposition floor 240x125-- as
large as Madison Square Garden,
New York City.
At a cost of $40, 900 the Civic
and Commerce Association of
Minneapolis and the St. Paul
Association of Commerce have
bought space from the Northwest
Development League for the sew
en- states where their official ex-
hibits will be installed.
The Northwest Products Ex-
position will be almost twice as
large in extent as the Land
Show" held in St. Paul andit is
the hope of the officers of the
Northwest Development League
that it will be a better exposition
in every way as they have almost
ten full months to prepare for it
whereas they had but little
more than three months to or
yanize the St. Paul show.
The Products Exposition can
De likened to a miniature worlds
air." said President Penwell in
of the outlook. ''The
Northwest states have learned
he exhibit business and have
earned that it is necessary to ad-
'ertise in a very graphic way to
ttract settlers who would other !
7ise go to Canada or the South |

Senator Bowerman has jumped
into prominence as a leading at
torney in Portland quicker than
any man who ever left a small
town to measure his legal ability
with the leading lawyers of the
metropolis. He has had several
large suits recently, amongst
them the Wilde case in which Mr..
Bowerman was the leading attor-
ney. Wilde was acquitted on an
instructed verdict. Bowerman
the case so far as
office work was concerned and al
lowed Mr.. Malarkey to attend to
the arguments in court. Mr..
Bowerman is now of the opinion
that it was the luckiest day Of
his life when he was beaten for
governor. Condor Times.

BIG CLUB WILL
BE HEARD HERE
Forty College Lads Will
Visit Heppner, Friday,
February d.

The Oregon Agricultural Col
, lege Glee and Mandolin Club viii
be in Heppner on the evening o.
February %. This popular mus
ical organization is now making
its first tour of the state, this be-
ing the first year the faculty
council would grant the club per-
mission to make an extended tour.
That the club is making good
and is worthy of very liberal pat
ronage is evident from the fact
that in their opening concert at
Corvallis they made decided
hit; this, too, in town where
the merit of the performance
counts rather than the perform
ers themselves, and concerts must
be of a high standard to receive
favorable comment from the local
press.
The following from last Mon
days Corvallis Times is
self-explanatory:
Each number roundly applaud
ed and an encore insisted upon
in some instances two and even
three the record for the 0.
A. C. Glee and Mandolin Club
concert at the Opera House Sat
urday night. And this tells only
half the story. The program was
par excellence, made up of music
worthy of artists and an audience
of cultured taste, and though
much of it was difficult, the Glee
and Mandolin Club did more than |
make an agreeable noise; the club
sang with a splendid volume of
tone, modulated at times to a
and with an expression
and Interpretation that made the
selection a finished work of art;
and the Mandolin Club played
with a snap and harmony that
was delightful.
"The concert was a success
from start to finish, much the
pest work ever done by the 0. A.
;. boys, and the same presenta-
ion will please any audience en-
on the state tour begun
oday. The usual vaudeville
tunts were conspicuous by their
lbsence, but in encore numbers /
he boys gave some high-class hu- {
norous songs that enlivened the
'rogram to the proper extent. 6
The club is accompanied by =
'rof. w. F. Gaskins, head of the
'chool of Music, and director of
he Glee Club. V
A feature of the entertainment =
hat is attracting widespread at e
ention, is the work of Henry Rus
ell, Scotch monologuist. This e
hould prove exceptionally inter |;
sting to Heppner folk in view of f
he fact that Scotch life was re-
emily revived here. \
Heppner people will doubtless y
Edwin Woodcock, the 6
rombonist with the band brought
ere by Captain Harry Beard in
909. This clever young artist is g
'aveling with the Glee Ciup as W
special feature. e.

School Notes.
BY sUPT. NoTsON.

On the first inst, | visited sew
eral Of the rooms Of the Heppner
school. In Miss Reid's room |
founda a bright lot of little people.
l. | noted the tasty decorations
which add so much to the school
life. / was much interested in
the number work. The pupils
were dealing with their first les
son in carrying. Miss Reid
required each pupil to correct his
own work, using a colored pencil,
This is certainly an excellent way
saving the teachers energy and
giving the pupils the benefit
of a valuable exercise. | find
many teachers take up the
work and mark the corrections
themselves. The work is then
handed back to the pupils who
glance at it and throw it away.
Not a great deal of good comes
from such correction, and the
work taxes the teacher strength,
which should be saved for other
lines.
The commercial department
enjoys more commodious quar-
ters, the rooms having been con-
siderably enlarged. Miss Young
is enthusiastic over her work.
She tries to adapt the work to
the Individual pupil, whatever
his attainments may be. 1t
seems to me that pupils find that
the better prepared they are in
the regular work, the more sat
isfactory will be their work in
the commercial line.
In Miss Lusted's room, l noted

The committee recommended that

tended to make the system optional

(News and Courier, 12th.)
At o'clock yesterday morning a
citizen going to his home saw a heap
covered over with snow at the cor
ner Of Simons street and Rutledge
avenue. This unusual looking OBJ
ject aroused his curiosity, so he
knocked some of the snow from It..
and found 1t to be man. He tele-
phoned to police headquarters and
the police automobile hurried to the
scene. The man was taken to the
hospital. 1t was hoped that life
might be found in him, but he was
pronounced dead as soon as the doc
tors examined him.
Yesterday afternoon the body was
taken to a funeral establishment on
Meeting street, where an inquest was
held by the coroner After the in
quest the coroner announced his de-
cision that the man had come to his
death by lying down while intoxicat-
ed and going to sleep and freezing
to death.
The dead man was a car repairer
for the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad
and lived with his family at No. 10

It's Vera Wcel.


It's vera weel, throughout the day,
When taken up with work or play,
TO think a man can live alway
Without WHEY.
But it's onither thing at night
TO sit alone by candle light,
Or gang to rest when sharp winds
bite
Without a wifey.
It's vera weel, when young and hale
But when you're old and crazed and
frail
And your blithe spirit gins to fail.
You'll want wifey.
But mayhap then the lassies dear
Will treat your offers with a sneer;
Because ye'er cranky, gray and sere
Ye'll get nae wifey.
Then haste ye, haste We, silly loon!
Rise up and seek about the toon
And get Heavens greatest earthly
boon,
A wee bit wiley.
