eral days. Mrs. Hill at one time

with snow on Sunday morning. The
reads are in bad condition for autos
at present.
Roby Simcox arrived last week

which is gratifying to her friends
here. 1t will be some time before
she can return home
J. D. Meyers has a new gasoline
tractor which he is using to do his
plowing. When this machine has
proven what is claimed for it, it will
no doubt be great help in farm
work. Several have gone out from
here to see the machine at work.
The new electric light plant install
led by j. B. Sparks, of Heppner is a
great Improvement over the old plant
and something our little city has
needed for long time. The lights
in the stores and on the streets i'm
proves the appearance of things very
much these dark evenings.
Several auto loads Of local enthu-
siasts took the trip Saturday evening

Last Saturday evening the manv
friends of w. ]. Davis gathered at his
place on Blackhorse, the event being
the birthday of Mr. Davis and the
party was a surprise to him. He re-
ceived many congratulations and all
present enjoyed a splendid supper
which had been prepared by the
guests
The farmers in this vicinity are all
busy with their farm work since the
warmer weather has set in. A great
many of them are blowing. From
various reports it is learned that
great many will not have to reseed,
as they are of the opinion there is
enough seed in the ground that is
good to assure fair stand of grain.
On the other hand several have re-
seeded what they think has been
badly hurt. One farmer in this
vicinity did not SOW any grain last
fall and is now putting in his entire
crop.

MRS. JOHN KILKENNY
IS LAID TO REST
Wife of Morrow County Sheepman
Victim of Elevator Accident
in PendletOn Hotel.

One of the largest funerals ever
witnessed in Heppner took place last
Sunday at the Catholic church, when
friends gathered from far and near
to pay their last respects to the de-
parted soul of Mrs. John Kilkenny,
who met her death in a tragic man
mer last Thursday in Pendleton.
Mrs. Kilkenny had been receiving
treatment at the Hot Lake Sanator-
ium and had sufficiently recovered to
leave for her Morrow county home.
She was stopping at the hotel Pen
dleton while in that city, and while
on the way to her room, according
to the elevator boy, Roscoe Vaughn,
who was in the car at the time, Mrs.
Kilkenny became dizzy and plunged
out of the car, in spite of his efforts
to hold her. Her body was badly
mangled as the result of the four
story fall to the concrete basement
floor, and death must have been in
Simultaneous.
The verdict of the coroner's jury
was that Mrs. Kilkenny's death was
purely accidental, with the blame
resting on no one. 1t is understood
that Mr.. Kilkenny does not place any
blame on the hotel management or
any of the employees for the lament
able acct mt.
Rose ann Kilkenny was a native
of County Leitrim, Ireland, and q de-
vout member of the Catholic church.
She was a widow at the time of her
marriage to John Kilkenny, P. g..
Farley, of this county, being her son
by a former marriage. Besides this
son and her husband, she leaves five
small children to mourn her untime'
ly death. She was a splendid woman,
wife and mother, highly respected by
the entire community and wherever
she was known The condolences of
all our people are extended to the
bereft family in this sad hour
