THANKSGIVING SERVICE
TO Be At 1880 TODAY

The union Thanksgiving SER
vices for Heppner will be held
to-day at 1890 at the M. E.
church, South, the pastor, Rev.
W. I. Goulder, having charge.
Elder ]. V. Crawford will deliver
the sermon and a good choir
render appropriate music.
David, King of Israel, thought
it appropriate to render thanks
to Almighty God for the bless
ings and comforts of life enjoyed
by his people more than three
thousand years ago, and in token
of this spirit he wrote two Won
derful thanksgiving poems that
have come to us in the 103rd and
104th Psalms. But how much
more we of the present age have
to enjoy and be thankful for.
Take time from the cares and
labors and joys of the day to
spend an hour in the sanctuary
where your thoughts may be di-
rected for one short hour to the
source of all blessings, and that
due observance of this great
American holiday may be had in
Heppner.

Do You Blame Her?

The saying is that troubles
never come singly. Truly is this
the case of H. j. Parkison, ten
cent lawyer and petition circula-
tor. Some three weeks ago the
people of the state Of Oregon
placed their stamp of disapproEal
upon his referendum which was
placed upon the University ap-
preparations. Now he has at
tached a referendum or recall to
his matrimonial obligations and
is sueing his wife for a divorce.
He claims that he has been sick
for weeks at time, during which
his wife would never visit him.
Poor Parkison. And yet we can
not blame the wife.

Beef Prices Correspond
To Cost of Production.

Oregon Agricultural College. Cor
Wallis, Ore, Nov 25 That the prices
of beef are undulY high in comparison
with other articles of food, is not
believed by Professor L. L. Potter
head of the Animal Husbandry de-
paltment, Oregon Agricultural Col
lsRe. who has made careful study
of the range of prices extending over
several years. He does not consider
that beef prices have increased more
tuan is justified by the increased cost
of production.
"Of course present prices seem
high in comparison with prices which
prevailed few years go, asid Pro-
fessor Potter, "but it must be borne
in mind that fve-cent cattle were a
losing proposition. and when we con-
slider that the cost of production has
been constantly increasing nothing
could be expected other than a gradual
closing out of the large herds and a
final increase in price. la addition
to diminishing ranges and higher
priced land the cattleman had 10 pay
for labor, supplies and other factors,
the high prices which prevail through
out the country. For this reason it
is not fair to expect him to furnish
US with beef at the old prices.
"At the present prices, beef max
ing is reasonably profitable, and if
thev are maintained the supply will
doubtless increase somewhat. But
should prices go down the cattl men
will again curtal their beef making
operations. Educational campaigns
and legislation to increase beef pro-
duction are of doubtful value. 1t is
the maintenance of present prices
that will do most to encourage beef
production. Lower prices will dis
courage it.
"The cost of raising beef is about
30 percent higher than it was few
years ago, and stockmen will not raise
cattle without adequate returns.
Beef prices will fuetuate, but they
cannot be kept below the cost of pro-
duction.
"The new tariff will probably have
no great effect on beef prices, since
the surplus from the great meat pro-
ducing countries is already being con-
sumed in Europe at prices approx
mately the same as our own.

OREGON NHENPRODUCES
3O3 EGGS IN ONEYEAR

Portland. Ore. Nov 25. Especial J.
A short time ago the Oregon Agri-
cultural College announced the fact
that a cross-bred hen had turned out
29l eggs in her first twelve months OF
usefulness, and stated that no other
egg machine had ever before reached
that rate of speed. Now, the college
announces, the original best-hen.in-
the world will have to take back
seat, as another biddy at the same
institution has succeeded in laving
3O3 eggs in exactly one year. This
new hen, like the former record
breaker, is cross between Barred
Rocks and White Leghprns.
Professor Dryden, in charge of the
poultry department at the college.
says that no special attempt. outside
| of the breeding. was made to secure
high records. The methods followed
in feeding and general care were
such as might be profitably followed
bv any farmer or owner of poultry.
The 3O3 eggs produced by the record
breaking hen weighed 40 pounds, or
about eigth times the weigh of the
hen herself, and were remarkably unI-
form in size, shape and color. Many
requ ests have been received at the
college to place the hen on exhibition,
but on account of her great value as
breeder it has been decided that the
risks are greater than the value of the
advertising.

Of great interest to every section
of the great Columbia basin is the
announcement, made by James J. Hill
himself within the past week, that
a new line of steamers will be pDt in
operation between the mouth of the
river and California points within the
next fifteen months. Two fine CON-
biuation freight and passenger steam
ers are now being built at Philadel-
phia, and it is said they will be the
fastest vessels ever sailed under the
American flag. Each will have
capacity for 800 passengers and ] 800
tons of freight, and they are expected
to beat the present best railroad time
between Portland and San Francisco
by about four hours.

Many of the farmers of this section
are yet holding their grain, hoping tc
ger a better urice by spring. In fact
it is thought that dollar bushel
may be realized. There is some rea-
son for this expectation The Mexican
situation, with the possibility OF
armed Intervention bv this country
would produce, doubtless bring a
raise in price, 20 Der cent of the
Manitoba crop is said to have been
moved already, and the estimate of
exportable supplies in Argentina has
dropped from IS, 600. 600 bushels to
&c, 900 900 bushels, while the India
corp is far short, and these all help
to boost the market for the American
farmer.

Odd Fellows Visit at Harrison.

About sixty members of Mt. Mica
Lodge, No II, |. o. o. f., made the trip
to Harrison Friday night and spent a
very pleasant evening, as is always the
case when Harrison Lodge entertains.
Nearly all went by auto, although it was
necessary 10 press few teams into ser
vice, as a sufficient number of autos
could not be secured 20 take all who
wished to go. The only difficulty in
making the trip was the condition of the
Norway Lake road, where the deep mud
made the travelling by auto very hard.
Many went by way of Otisfeld Gore and
avoided the mud, finding the roads on
that route in excellent condition.
Owing to a misunderstanding between
some of the members, several OF the suit
cases containing necessary paraphernalia
were left behind in the hall at South
Paris, but this was secured by telephon-
ing to Merton Millett, who took another
auto and got the much desired articles
there in less than an hour from the time
he received the call on the telephone, so
that there was only slight delay before
the work
The degree staff of Mt Mica Lodge
conferred the First Degree, and although
il was necessary TO use several substi-
tutes, the team has seldom done better
work and was highly complimented.
An excellent oyster and pastry supper
| followed the work. IL was evident that
some one knew of Arthur Tslbots love
for pie, as he was presented with an
immense pumpkin pie as large around as
a small sized wash tub, and it soon dis
appeared from sight, although We doubt
| il Arthur ate it all.
Interesting remarks were made by
several and the readings given by A. E.
Morse of Mt. Mica Lodge were much en-
| joyed, one selection proving so amusing
that he was requested to give ii second
| time, which he did.
There were several other lodges repre-
sented and iu all there were twenty-five
