the treasury department., which fully
confirmed unofficial reports Of the

LYCEUM COURSE IS
ASSURED FOR HEPPNER

Through the efforts of T. S. Hand
saker and others interested, the
Ellison-White lyceum course will be
presented in Heppner next year. The
Ellison-White people demonstrated
the past year that their entertain
ers were of high class and many Of
the local people wanted them back
again. Mr.. Handsaker worked all
day Wednesday getting signers for
the guarantee and as a result the
course has been assured The bu-
reau promises an excellent course
this year The first number will be
the Oxford Opera company. This
will be followed by H. w. Arnold, the
lecturer. Others will be the Orioles
ladies trio consisting of a reader,
whistler and pianist; the Wells
entertainers and Wiggam, stereopti-
con lecturer on "Eugenics. This is
said to be the best seller on the
course and deals with a subject OF
vital interest to everybody. The
course will probably open about the
same time as it did last year and will
be under the auspices of the High
SShool.

after lingering illness.
At the time of his demise, Mr..

days of age, having been born in

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

Contrary to the usual custom when
Spring weather comes on the students
of the High School are maintaining
high standard of excellence in
their studies. This is very pleasing
to the faculty and is much to the
credit Of the students.
The last Literary program of the
year will be given Friday evening. 1t
will consist Of some very entertaining
numbers, among them being debate,
a farce and number of musical Sc
lections given in the auditorium and
will be called at 7:45 o'clock. The
patrons of the school are invited to
attend.
Preliminary arrangements were
completed this week for the publ
cation of the High School Annual.
Tuesday afternoon the student body
elected the Editor-in-C Chief, Associate
Editor, Business Manager and Ad-
vertising Manager These are re-
spectively, Spencer Crawford, Earl
Gordon, Harley Adkins and Stephen
Irwin. Wednesday, the staff" had a
meeting and various assistants were
appointed. Dave Wilson will handle
the sport department; Grace VanVac-
tor the literary department and Mel
ba Griffiths will see that all social
activities are properly represented
Ed Clark was made cartoonist and
will embellish the book with some
good caricatures. Drain Wright
will assist Manager Adkins, and they
will work hard to make the book a
financial success. At a meeting of the
entire staff the name 'Hehisch' was
chosen and the Annual will appear
under that name. Earnest work
has begun in the preparation of ma
terial and it is hoped the book will
be ready for delivery about the mid
die of May.
The biology laboratory has become
quite popular the last few days since
the class has acquired snake and
an insect menagerie. There are
several different kinds of snakes and
any number of other animals and in
sects. The class has been doing some
very interesting dissecting work anG
has mounted some of their best
specimens.
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1915-04-15

were all present and all spoke in be-
half of the county. Judge Patterson
said that he does not favor county
bonding as means for raising funds
Tor permanent roads, for in many
cases the road wears out before the
bonds mature. George j Currin is
great believer in the power of crude
Oil for laying the dust, and he told of
the success that Heppner had met
with in street oiling, saying that the
Heppner streets were nothing more
than graded roads. He believes that
the county will eventually come to
the oiling Of the main county roads if
not now.
Lee Padberg favors the plan of
county laboratory for road expert
menting. That is, taking a small
strip of road, building it up on
permanent basis, and treat the sur
face with crude oil or any other sub
stance that will solve for all time the
dust question.
w. T, Campbell and w. w. Smead
were also of the opinion that expert
ment before the actual work would
prove beneficial and would eliminate
many mistakes that might be made
later. Mr. Campbell believes that oil
will settle the dust satisfactorily.
A. S. Akers, A. l.. Ayers and Sam
Hughes also made short talks.
Chairman Notson, near the close of
the meeting told of what might be
done to improve the road in a small
way, yet would save the county many
dollars in the course of year. He is
of the belief that a great deal can and
must be done in educating the people
in the matter of better roads.
County Surveyor Turner told what
the survey for the new road cost, in
the neighborhood of $4,000. As
near as he could tell off hand, he
thought the cost of the new road
would be $500 or $4,000, but those
figures, he said, might be a little
high.
The motion made by j. L. Wilkins
that all work on the new road that
could possibly be done at this time,
.e started at once, was carried by an
unanimous vote.

LEXINGTON COOPERATES WITH HEPPNER
IN IMPROVING CONNECTING HIGHWAY
United Sentiment Is Expressed For Permanent Roads
At Joint Meeting in Lexlngton-Court Will Prob
ably Establish Laboratory For Road Experiment.

Lexington citizens want permanent
roads, and to that end they will CO.
operate to their fullest extent in the
good roads movement. This was
their sentiment as they expressed it
at the good roads meeting held in
Lexington last Saturday afternoon.
S. E. Notson, president of the Hepp-
ner Commercial Club acted as chair
man. The main topic for discussion
before the meeting was as to when
work should begin on the new Hepp-
ner-Lexington road. The majority
of the speakers from Lexington were
of the opinion that it was too late in
the season to begin tearing up the
roads, that it would only result in
making a dust heap out of the pres
ent roads and they would be in no
condition for travel before next fall.
1--WE want roads that will last" said
W. G. Scott. Il have been over
macadam roads and | am convinced
they are not what we want. We
have got to find way to hold the
dust, and | think that the county
court should take piece of road and
show us what can be done. A little
experimenting now may save many
dollars later" Mr. Scott thought that
oiling might solve the problem of
holding the dust, packing, and there
by make a solid road bed.
Eph Eskelson, who lives on the
line of the proposed new road, be-
lieves that there is much of the work
that can be done at this time, such as
making the deep cuts and doing the
rock work. Andrew Reaney also
thought that this would be the proper
time to do the work, since the money
and work donated, were at hand, and
the people had the spirit of better
roads uppermost in their minds.
Frank Evans, w. f. Barnett and
w. R. Munkers were all of the opin-
ion that it is too late in the year to
start the work, inaSmuch as the
greater portion of the road work will
be in soft dirt, and travel would be
greatly hampered by the deep dast
which would naturally result.
w. P. Mcmillan favors the present
time for the road work and suggested
that the new road be strawed, as a
means of keping down the dust.
Build a road that will last" was
the plea of w. f. Leach. Il would
pay double amount of my present
taxes toward roads without a kick if
| knew that the money was to be
spent for permanent roads.

IS NOW ASSURED
W. w, Smead, j. l.. wilkins and G..

Upper Willow Creek Road
Removal of Forest
Office is Opposed.

The upper Willow creek road to
the Hager bridge received another
boost Monday evening when it was
announced at the Heppner CONNER
cial Club that w. w. Smead, j. l..
wilkins and c. A. Minor would guar
antee the right of way through the
]. B. Cason ranch. 1t is understood
that these gentlemen are in position
to make deal with Mr.. Cason, salts
factory to him and all parties con-
cerned. The Lexington Heppner
road matter was referred to the road
committee, who will look after the
work that has been donated.
The Club has taken up in earnest
the matter of the proposed removal
of the forest headquarters to Pendle-
ton, and committee Of three, T. j.
Mahoney, chairman and Geo. j. Cur
rim and w. B. Barratt, was appointed
to work against the proposed remov-
al. The matter of lyceum course
for Heppner was laid over until next
week. The Club had previously been
asked to guarantee this course for
Heppner
A special committee representing
the Club will confer with the cele-
bration committee of The Dalles
Business Mems Association in regard
to The Dalles-Celilo celebration
which will be held in that city in the
near future 1t is the sentiment OF
the Club that Heppner take an active
part in participating in the celebra-
ton.
Secretary Smead informs us that
several new members have taken out
cards voluntarily the past week, but
he is urging the membership commit
tee to get busy, as he believes that
with little effort the present mem
bership Of the Club can be doubled
