bracelet was worth about as much as
all the rest of the contents of Kahn's
window together.
And James Clark, salesman, aged
twenty-five, was earning only SIS
week. Moreover, he was in love.
The sight of the prosperous pur-
chasers, who flung away in ten min
utes, each one, perhaps half-year's
salary on the SIS basis, stung the
young man to the quick. He saw
nothing before him but long years of
toilsome drudgery behind the coun-
ter, eVerlastingly lingering those gilt
tering baubles.
'Pd like to see how Dolly would
look with you around her wrist, my
fine fellow" he apostrophized the
stone.
The thought became an obsession.
And it would be so easy to take it
home with him one night. The store
closed at six; at five minutes before
six the bracelet was removed and
placed in the big safe by Cyrus Kahn.
Then the rest of the window display
was placed in the older safe. That
was supposed to be burglar-proof, but
the big safe, containing valuable
papers, always contained the brace
let, for it was the last word in safe
making.
But-Ellison knew the combina-
ton. And he had learned it in the
most foolish simple manner. 1t was
simply because Cyrus Kahn spoke his
thoughts aloud. He had spoken the
combination number aloud every
night and morning during Ellison's,
three years of apprenticeship. At
least, he had probably spoken it in
the morning, but Ellison was not
there to hear him. Kahn, an old
fashioned business man, arrived at
eight to open the store in person, as
his father had done when he owned
the small beginnings of the big bust

RECOMMENDS
MANY THINGS
Interstate Commerce Body
Makes It's Annual Report I
to Congress.

WASHINGTON, Dec. l0.-InS Its
annual report to Congress today the
Interstate Commerce Commission
makes these principal recommends
tons:
Laws to control railway capitaliza-
tion.
Compulsory use OF steel cars in
passenger trains and prohibition Of
the use of wooden cars between or
ahead of steel ones
Definite penalties for violation of
the hours of service act.
Laws to make explicit and certain
the authority of the commission to ex-
anime all documents and records of
railroads.
To definitely fix one period pre-
ferably three years--in which legal
actions may be started relating to
transportation charges.
All the commissions recommends
lions are made in extraordinarily
brief form and without discussion.
Otherwise. the commissions report
lis a chronological review OF its work
Of the year.
The work of physical valuation OF
railroads is we'll under way. With
the coming of winter, the field parties
are being transferred from northern
roads to those in the south. There
are now eight parties at work survey
ing about 1900 miles a month. The
number of parties will be Increased
on January 4 TO about twenty for
each of tlfe-fiyeS districts.
At some length, the commission re-
views its investigation of accidents.
Collisions caused by improper flag
ging continues to be a prominent fea-
ture of those Investigations, the re-
port says, and cases of inexperienced
men have been found. The number
of collisions due 20 enginemen falling
to regard block signals has decreased.
THE inherent weakness Of the
train order system continues to man
ifest itself as prominent feature OF
the accident record" says the report,
calling attention to the need OF legis-
lation to make standard operating
rules.
The general movement among the
railroads for higher freight rates, the
commission dismisses with brief re-
view Of the proceedings in the eastern
advance case which 1t decided last
August, and which is now again
awaiting a supplementary decision.
Various decisions of the commits
sion carried to the supreme court are
discussed in some detail with refer
ences to their application to inter
state traffic.

REWARD FOR ARREST
OF FAKE ADVERTISERS
President Hersch Of the United
Woolen Mills Company Of
fers Sum of $500.

PARkERSBURG. Dec. 1O-Presi-
dent w. A. Hersch, Of the United
Wooden Mills Company. has offered
$50 for the arrest OF any individual
or firm in the merchant tailoring
business in Cincinnati who employs
spurious advertising. There is a
statute in Ohio making false adyer-
Using an offense. The Advertising
Club in Cincinnati is soliciting mem-
berships and contributions, and Mr..
Hersch has written a letter to the
club saying that he will contribute
up to $500 at the rate of $50 for
each arrest that is made for fake
advertising, providing the advertising
lis done in his line of business
that of merchant tailoring.
Mr.. Hirsch has been active in the
direction of clean and honest adver-
Using for years. He believes that
the merchandise that is behind the
advertising must be worthy the
advertisers literature and that fraud
and deceit in advertising should be
made crime. Hence his willingness
to help the Cincinnati club in getting
results. His letter follows:
Parkersburg, w. Va,
December 4, 1914.
Mr.. Melville Snowden.
Recording Secretary,
The Advertising Club,
Cincinnati, o.
Dear Sir
Replying to your favor OF the
ultimo. would say will give $50 for
the arrest OF any concern in the mer-
chant tailoring line in the city of
Cincinnati, doing business as the re-
suit of fraudulent advertising, up to
six cases.
In other words, want to limit the
expediture to $500, and want to pay
1t out for every arrest for fraudulent
advertising directly in my line Of
business. The reason that am do
ing this is that there are certainly
enough takers in my line in your city
who need the attention of the Adver-
Users Club, without going Into other
lines. However, / am willing to con-
tribute. say $50, towards a general
fund, If necessary. but would prefer
the other.
Regarding membership-just as
soon rs you get to arresting fdishon-
est advertisers. and show me that you
are doing something, I will certainly
send you a membership fee, as prome
ised.
Yours very truly,
w. A. HERSCH,
President The United Wooden Mills
Company.

INDUSTRIAL CLUBS IN
I OUR RURAL SCHOOLS

Last week, accompanied by L. S.
Smith, OF the O-W r. Il N, | visited
six schools. Mr.. Smith is aiding in
| the work of organizing industrial
clubs. He made little talk to the
pupils OF each school, explaining the
work Of the clubs.
The first school visited was the
Social Ridge school. Miss May Sew
erAnce is the teacher. | noted that
this school has a new international
dictionary. The next school we Wis
tied is in District No 80. Miss Edith
McNab is the teacher. The grounds
hbont the building have been graded.
the foundation OF the building re-
paired, new steps built at the front
Of the building. and the school
grounds surrounded by a new fence
since my last visit. We next called
at the Rocky Bluff school, which is
under The direction OF Mrs. Ruby
Jones. The pupils here were already
studying the club proposition We
then went to the Liberty school,
where we found Miss Katherine
Owen and ten pupils hard at work.
The pupils here had also given some
attention tn the industrial club idea.
Our next visit WIS at the Goose
berry school, which is presided over
BY Miss Beulah Wagner The pupils
seemed to be interested in their
work and also had in mind the in
dustrial work. At the Hale Ridge
school, which is under the direction
of Miss Alta w. Shannon, noted
that u new stove and a set of charts
has been purchased since my former
visit. Two pupils Of this school will
each raise two acres of corn, which
indicates a fine Interest in the indus
trial work. They are Ray and Glen
Youss:,.
Mr. Smith was much pleased with
the interest manifested in each OF the
schools visited. He expects to re-
turn and continue his work in this
county.
Dr. G. F. Hodge, of the University
of Oregon, will address the people of
0res N at the Heppner high school
auditorium next Wednesday even
ing at \ O'clock. The address will be
uf In terest to all the students of the
high school and grammar grades
and the general public. Everybody
is cordially invited, and tits hoped
our citizens will avail themselves OF
this opportunity to hear Br. Hodge.

Now Afford FOrdS

During the past two weeks
Albert Bowker of the Heppner
Garage has sold to Morrow county
people eight Ford automobiles,
made the deliveries and the ma
chimes are now in use. This is
one Of the two carloads recently
shipped In, and Mr.. Kowker
states that he has prospects in
sight to take the second carload
off his hands.
There is a sort of a Ford"
fever prevailing, and just how
far the epidemic will reach is
hard to tell. Many have the
fever but lack the necessary fin
ancial force to secure the remedy.
The following now ride in new
Ford cars: John Bryson and Ike

of lrrigon; DR.. G. G. Gaunt of
Hardman; Guy Huston of Eight

ST. PATR|CK'S DAY
OBSERVED HERE
Ancient Order of Hibern-
ians Hold Fitting Exer-
cises in Honor OF Their
Patron Saint.

Morrow county's citizens. ma.
tives of the Emerald Isle, gath.
cred in Heppner in large numbers
for the celebration of St. Pat.
rick's Day. The celebration
properly began on Monday eve.
ming with a program at the Star
theater, the principal feature OF
which was an address by Hon.
R. R. Butler, of The Dalles. The
program was opened by introduc-
tory remarks by Mayor Srnead,
who in a few well chosen remarks
paid a tribute to our 1rish-Ameri-
can citizens. The mavor also ac-
ted in the capacity of master of
ceremonies and presided over the
meeting, introducing the speak
ers. Vocal music, in which Irish
songs and ballads were sung, en-
livened the program, and lack of
space prevents giving individual
mention at this time. However,
the singing of "The Wearing of
the Green" by little Kathleen
Monahan, deserves special men
ton; she brought down the house,
and was recalled for a second rem
dition. The little lady knew the
song well and gave it the true
Irish Interpretation.
Judge Butler, always welcome
by Heppner audiences, was lis
tened to for the space of about
forty minutes in a splendid ora
ton on 'Ireland's Hopes and As
pirations.'' He is a polished ora
tor, and the address on this occa-
sion was fully up to his high stan
dard. -.
Mr.. E. H. Deery, of Portland,
gave a short talk on the objects
and aims Of the Order Of Hibern-
ians, his main thought being to
correct some misapprehensions
concerning this very ancient Irish
organization.
On St. Patrick's day, appropri
ate religious services were held
at the Catholic church where Rev.
P. }. O'Rourke, pastor, was as
sisted by Rev. Father O'Calla-
CHAN. In the evening the annual
ball given by the Hibernians at
the Club building was very large
ly attended and greatly enjoyed,
and the celebration brought to al
successful close.

No CONE BACK FOR
THE HAS bEENS

A large crowd of fans gath
cred at the depot ball grounds
last Friday afternoon to witness
the come back" of the ''has
beens," but the has beens"
still are, for they failed to come
back by about p points. The
final score stood n to Gin favor
of the high school boys.
The high school team worked
out like a piece Of machinery and
it was nothing to the discredit of
the "old men" when they suf-
fered such a large defeat. There
were times when the has beens'
showed up in old-time form, but
these times were few and far
between, and then the different
players stared individually. There
was never any team work. Will
son pitched a good steady game
for the school boys, and Gervais
showed up best in the box for the
losers.
Nearly thirty dollars was
cleared on the game, and this
money will be used in improving
the grounds. Z
Christensen and VanWinkle
as umpires, and at times
it seemed as though the entire
grandstand would pour forth
upon the field. But the crowd
was held back and the umpires
managed to get through the
game without serious injuries.

"HOTJ0KE" WHEN MAN
GETS FOOT BURNED

To investigate a case of foot
burning which occurred in the sa.
loon of Herb Fant one day dur
ing the past week, the city coun-
Gil held a special session Saturday
afternoon and examined several
witnesses with regard to the af-
fair. Mr.. Miller, a swamper for
the Brewery saloon and a disci-
pie of John Barleycorn, wentinto
the Fant place on Tuesday after
noon, after having finished his
dinner at a restaurant, and SIT
ting down, fell asleep. While in
this condition, someone in the
house poured alcohol on one of
his shoes and set fire to it with
the result that the victim of the
'joke" got a badly burned foot.
The investigation by the council
failed to reveal just who was the
perpetrator of the act and no ac-
ton was taken at this time, it be-
ing understood that the grand
jury would investigate the case
and upon its findings the council
can better base its actions. The
case is one which properly comes
under the head of assault and
battery, and subjects the house
to the charge of disorderly con-
duct and a revoking Of the license
is a penalty within the power of
the council to enforce. Miller is
getting over his injuries slowly
but he fails to appreciate the fun
ny side of the "joke. "

OPPERETTA SYLVIA"
IS BIG SUCCESS

The students of the Heppner
high school presented the op-
eratta Sylvia in the High
School auditorium last Friday
night before an audience of 400
people. The play was a great
success from every standpoint.
The students carried their var
ious parts in splendid manner,
and their singing reflects much
credit upon Miss Marian Long,
the supervisor of music.
The leading parts were carried
by Miss Alberta Goulder, as Syl-
via, and Miss Lillah Clark, as
Betty, the farmers daughter.
The solo work done by these two
ladies is especially worthy of
mention. George Peck as Sir
Bertram De Lacy, and Harvie
Young as Prince Tobytum, car
ried their parts we'll. The whole
play showed much work and
careful preparation, and the stu
dents of the high school, as we'll
as their instructors, are entitled
to much praise for the work they
are doing in making our local
school one of the best in the state.
Over fifty dollars was cleared
on this play and the same will
be used in purchasing books for
the library.

Eight Mile Mail Route
May Be Discontinued.

Unless some strenuous action is
taken by local people before the 7th
Of April, residents of the Eight lie
section are very likely to lose their
mail service.
Different parties have sent in bids
for carrying the mail, but their pro-
posed contracts call for a larger sum
than has been paid heretofore. This
is due to the large increase in work
brought about by the Introduction
OF the parcel post. AS yet no con-
tract has been let. nor is it likely
that one will be unless some pressure
Is brought to bear upon the Oregon
representatives in congress. This
mail route means much to the people
OF Eight Mile. 1t means much to the
people of Heppner. The Heppner
Commercial Club will take the matter
up at its regular meeting tomorrow
evening.

HEPPNER WILL
HAVE CREAMERY
Cooperative Plant Will Be
Built By Local Capital
Stock Is Selling Rapid
ly.

If present plans materialize,
Heppner will have an up-to-date
packing plant, owned and oper.
ated by local capital.
A. l.. Sparkling, a recent arri,
val in our city from Australia, is
working on the proposition and
considerable stock in the enter
prise has already been sold. The
hackers, whose names have not
been made known to us, have the
idea in mind to erect a factory
for the manufacture of butter
and curing and packing of bacon.
The plan is a feasible one, say
those who are most interested
and in position to know. There
is enough butter fat now being
shipped out of this section to run
a small creamery, and with one
established in Heppner more cows
OF the dairy type will be brought
into the country and many ideal
dairy ranches, which heretofore
have never seen a Jersey or Hol-
stein, will be stocked with butter
fat producers and placed in a po-
sition to pay. The people, who
have this packing plant in view,
also say that the hog would be a
paying factor in the business,
and that a great profit could be
made by curing at home rather
than selling to the Portland mar
ket on foot.
