ANNUAL ELKS' BALL
| BETTER THAN EVER

More complete in detail of ar
rangement and more effectual
management is the report of the
Elks' ball last Friday evening at
the Club building. Everything
in connection with the dance
showed more careful preparation
and the extent to which the affair
was enjoyed by those present is
attested by the many expressions
of the good time had.
The grand march started at
nine, the orchestra playing INA
tional Emblem" in a spirited
manner, giving the dance the
proper life. From that time on
the program was adhered to, with
an encore, and at times two or
three encores, after each number.
This established the fact that the
relations between dancers and
orchestra were friendly in the
extreme and promoted a very
congenial social atmosphere.
The hall was very beautifully
and elaborately decorated in the
colors of the lodge. A new de-
sign of bunting was used to drape
the walls, and streamers of pur-
pie and white crepe paper were
stretched from a cluster in the
center of the room to the bunt-
ing. This arrangement covered
the space used for dancing and
servedsas a canopy. The front
end of the room was partitioned
off and made cozy for those who
wished to look on or otherwise
indulge in social intercourse, and
one corner of this was devoted to
the punch table. Many beauti-
full gowns were in evidence.
The music was furnished bv
the Parsons orchestra of Port
land. This worthy organization
needs no word of introduction or
praise to Heppner people. Their
work speaks for itself, and each
return engagement adds to the
growing popularity. The orches-
ira this time consisted of Leo
Lindsay, violin; Frank Thibeau,
cello; Andy Loney, cornet; Lee
Townsend, traps, and Bro. Geo.
Parsons, piano.

time.

Care of the Wounded In Battle.

When the chief surgeon of an army k making arrangements for the cUllec, tiOn of wounded during an impending battle he always bears in mind the fact that men will be wounded in tiff ferent numbers at different ranges and. of course, he sees that the most eff cient ambulance service is given where the losses are heaviest. To aid him in making arrangements, he knows rough ly what the losses in these various ''zones," as they are called. will work out at.
 At range of 1000 yards he knows that about 20 per cent of the men CD. gagged will be wounded. while between 1000 and 400 yards as high d percent age as to are liable to be disabled. Only comparatively small number of the soldiers who take part in the last grand, glorious rush" are wounded. however. 10 per cent being the propor- ton. while somewhere about the same percentage of men are wounded during the pursuit of Il retreating army.-Lon- don Tit-Bits.

Fire Avera ues.

Following is an extract from an ar ticle In Farm and Preside on prevent ing and fighting fires: sf.... ..s
 Fires in our homes are so frequent that the insurance companies tell us that We have about one chance in sixty of being burnt out some time In the course of a lifetime. But in the s.me breath they tell us that more than half the fires could be prevented if people understood the commonest causes of them and knew just what to do when a fire starts. Smokers are responsible for thousands of fires, and rats and mice cause muny others by nibbling at sul- phur tipped matches. Fires which start In closets are often caused by matches being left in clothes or by oily cloths which have been stored away. Many of the floor polishing mixtures contain highly explosive oils. and spontaneous combustion may start from a nest of these cleaning cloths if placed in a closet neur the chimney. -- ... -.

Latin Names Needed.

What is caiiud Il cruller in New York is called d drughnut ill Boston. and what Is called a crGller in Boston is called Il dOughnut in New York. And SO ou through the list. There is no more certainty or hxity about the pop ular names Of dishes than there is about the popular names of flowers and birds. At least thirty different flowers are known by the name of
 'maytower'' in the United States. The mayfower of New England is the ar
 butus of New York and the wax myr- tie of the south. To obtain certainty in such matters it is necessary to have scientific classification and a Latin name. When you speak to botanical gent about n "mayflower" he knows not what you mean. but if you refer to the Epigaea repens he knows exactly what you are talking about. Conse- qnently we shall never have any cer- , tainty about what a dish is until we have a regular scientific classification. with Latin names. for all dishes. In that case the botanical name" of Yer mont nasty pudding would be some thing like mushius cornmealensis and no chance for controversy.-New York Mail. -.

Naval Stores.

Answering the question. What is the derivation of the term naval stores applied to rosin, turpentine, etcJ and why are they so called?" the New York Sun says:
 "It seems odd that the change from the stately frigates of our navy to mere machinery proves so long estab- lished that the meaning of naval stores is perishing. When, fleets maneuvered under canvas the prime stores of the navy were tar. pitch and turpentine. famous products of North Carolina. therefore in all propriety naval stores. The modern fighting ship has no rig ging to be tarred down and needs no tar. Her decks are calked with a pneumatic riveter and need no pitch. hot or cold, no matter what may be to pay. But the name outlasts the use"

A Short Lived Race.

The average duration of life Is short CT in New Guinea than In any other country. possibly owing to the peculiar diet affected ny the natives. who de- vour with gusto the larvae of beetles. dug out of decayed tree trunks, and hsbitually drink sea water when near the coast. ''The people die off at about forty" we are told In Mir. A. F.. Pratt's Two Yeurs Among the New Guinea Cannibals." We saw une very old man, who may have been about sixty
 years of age-the only example of longevity thnt we came across. He was bent almost double aud had a long, white beard. His fellow tribes men regarded him as great curiosity, and brought him to see us. Despite the decrepitude of his body, how

The Chimsra.

The chimera was a fabulous monster with a lions and goats head, a ser. pent's tail and a goats middle. which inhabited the dreadful mountain Of Lycia. In Greece, and defended itself against attack by vomiting flames of Are. 1t was at last conquered by Bel lerophon. the god Of war. who mounted 1t on the famous horse Pegasus. The strange combination of the form of the chimera was evolved from the fact that the terrible Lycia was partly a burning mountnin. with here and there a desolate wilderness. the resort of lions. and occasionally a few fertile spots where goats did congregate. while at the foot of the great hill was a swamp infested with snakes. From this curious creation of superstition sprung the origin of the word ''chi- mera," In designation of m idle fancy or a foolish creation of the brain
