A Poor Place to SleeD.

Last Friday evening some un-
known man, unknown at least to the
writer, had a narrow escape from
death on the Heppner branch line
just this side of lone. This unknown
man had evidently laid down along
the railroad track in the weeds for
the express purpose of sleeping. At
any rate he was In a comatose condi-
tion when Conductor Andrews blew
the emergency whistle. The reclin-
ing man raised up just enough to get
his panama hat knocked off by the
cylinder head. II he had remained
still he never would have been touch
ed. AS the train thundered by the
dazed man had succeeded In rising to
his feet. From his appearance, he
did not seem to be able to compre-
hend just what had taken place, but
no doubt after regaining the full
power of his senses he will decide to
choose in the future, for his sleeping
quarters, a place little farther re-
moved from the dangers of the goth
century limited.

BUSINESS MEN AND
FAIR BOARD MEET
More Money Than Last Year For
Fair Is Assured-Will Have ST.
800 Guarantee.

An enthusiastic meeting of busi-
noss men with the fair board was
held Tuesday afternoon in Secretary
Smeads office at Fair headquarters.
The majority of business houses
in Heppner were represented at the
meeting.
T. j. Mahoney, acting as chair
man, outlined, In a few words, the
object of the meeting More and
larger premiums this year, and add
ed attractions in the amusement
line, call for much more money than
last year The business men of
Heppner we're asked to raise their
subscriptions enough over those Of
last year to make the $500 guar
antee. which the fair board asks.
c. f. WoodsOn, acting secretary
for the meeting, started the sub
scription list, and all those present
responded with good spirit. The
committee appointed by the fair
board will see the remaining bus
mess men and it is thought that the
$500 will be secured with but lit

HEPPNER MAY GET
BETTER PHONE SERVICE
Officials Now Visiting Here Are
Said t0 Hove improvements in
Service Under Consideration.

Several head officials of the Pa
cific States Telephone Company have
been in Heppner this week to take
up the matter of bettering our ser
vice here. Just what they have de-
cided on doing with reference to
moving telephone headquarters we
did not learn, but there is certainly
room for improvement in the service
we have been getting 1t Is not the
fault Of the local manager, either,
for he has done all in his power to
get better service, and has borne
the brunt of sufficient kicking to put
less patient man off the earth. 1t
is now up to the head officials to
come across and improve the SER
vice here to an extent of giving the
public some satisfaction for the
tribute that is levied upon us each
month.

been doing this, and good deal of
boasting has been INDUCED in by
parties who have taken their new
cars over this big hill, and Mr.. Lane
thought he would tackle it with his
Pullman. With four others in the
car besides himself, he pulled the hill
without difficulty and no great effort.
Considering the fact that his car has
made 1900 miles, and had lot of

Has Blow-up From Smut

The thresher owned by w. T. Rey-
nolds, of Hardman, suffered slight
injuries from blowup of smut
one day last week while at work in
that vicinity. There was consider
able smut in the wheat in the south
end of the county and it has been
necessary for the threshermen to
take great precaution to save their
machines from injury by smut eX-
plosions, Prompt action on the part
of Mr.. Reynolds crew saved his ma
chine from any serious damage.

Mayor W. r. Matlock Dies.

William F. Matlock, Mayor Of
Pendleton, died at 11:45, Monday
morning from an illness that began
several days ago. Mr.. Matlock had
been Mayor for five terms. He had
large property interests in Pendle-
ton.
The Mayors illness dates back to
five years ago, when he suffered an
attack of typhoid fever Though he
partly recovered from that illness,
the complication of troubles which
resulted in death were caused by it..
He became seriously i'll ten days
ago. An operation was performed
last Friday and for time 1t seemed
he might recover. He started sink
ing Sunday, however and 1t was
announced that his death was mo-
mentarily expected.
The tolling of the fire bell in the
tower of the city hall announced the
death to the people of Pendleton.
The body will be taken to Portland
for cremation.
William F. Matlock was born in
Dade county, Missouri, April 20,
1S47. With his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Lane Matlock, he crossed the
plains to Oregon in 1853. The fam
lily settled on the Matlock home
stead, near the present city of Eu-
gene, but at that time there was, not
even town there. There were
eight children in the family, seven
boys and one girl. Three survive.
They are Cass Matlock, of Pendle-
ton: j. D. Matlock, of eugene, and
Tom Matlock of Heppner
In 1867 William f. Matlock mar
ried Ann Swaggart The widow,
two children and four grandchild-
ren also survive. The children are
Mrs. Fred Laatz of Portland and
w. N. Matlock of Pendleton.

Had a Good Cr0n.

Art Finley was in from the Ban
ma Belt on Friday. He has finished
his threshing and feels pretty good
over results. The prospect Of dollar
wheat also looks good to him and he
will not tarry long in selling. His
father. W. B. Finley, has also fin
ished threshing and his wheat made
twenty bushels to the acre. This is
Mr.. Finley's second good crop, his
wheat having made about this yield
last season, and who is there now to
say that wheat cannot be produced
in abundance in the so-called sand"
country.

al College. Mr.. N. c. Maris, Indus
trial Field Worker, will be with us

sanitation. DR.. Calvin 5. White, of

ised to be with US one day. Consid-
ering the position of the State Board
of Education upon the matter of
health conditions in the schools and
the work which the State Board of
Health is planning, We should get
