Mrs. Jean Morris Ellis closed her
lectures on Phrenology at the Chris

The lectures were we'll attended
throughout Mrs. Ellis is so we'll
known in Heppner, having given two
courses here formerly, that an an

In her line of WORK, Mrs. Ellis is
without a peer Many men and wo-
men today occupying responsible po-
sitions, attribute their success to a
suggestion as to their proper sphere
received from her. With her Won
derful power to read character she
combines a disposition to help the
one who is wavering or has already
joined the ranks of the down-and-
outs.
Those who heard this course of
lectures, noticed the frequent refer

PUBLIC SALE 4 SUCCESS

The public sale conducted on Sat
urday last by A. w. Johnson for the
disposal of his farm implements,
stock and household goods, was very
largely attended, there being more
than 200 present and these coming
from practically every part of the
county. The day was a good one and
Auctioneer Miller was in the right
spirit. Mr.. Johnson had prepared his
stuff for The sale and bidding was
brisk from the turn loose. SO far as
we were able to learn, everything
put up brought a good price and
many articles sold for more than they
had cost when new. The sales of live
stock were especially good and Mr..
Johnson is happy over the results
achieved.
Mr. Johnson expects soon to leave
Morrow county but he will not say
that he will never return; in fact he
contemplates coming back to this sec
tion in the fall and again investing
in home as he is we'll pleased with
this Eastern Oregon country. The
Johnsons are good people and it is
our hope that they may decide to
again locate here.

Walter O. Hill, eX-county clerk of
Morrow county, has returned to
Heppner, his former home and ac-
cepted a position with the First Ma
tioal Bank Mr.. Hill had disposed of
his home in this city and with his
family removed to Portland where
he had secured work, and that he has
been induced to return to this city
again and become once more a fix
ture here is indeed gratifying to his
many Morrow county friends. Mr..
Hill began his duties at the bank on
Monday. He does not expect his
family here until school closes in
Portland as he does not desire to take
his boy out of school there until the
end of the term, and furthermore, it
is not very easy matter just now
to get a suitable house to move into.
This paper is glad to welcome Mr..
Hill and his family to Heppner again
and congratulates the bank upon be-
ing able to add such an efficient man
to their working force.

PIONEER LADY IS
CALLED BY DEATH
Mrs. Lucinla Elder, Heppner Resi-.
dent For Many Years, Dies at
Baker, Friday, Feb. 26th.

Mrs. Lucinda Elder, a pioneer resi-
dent of Heppner, answered her sum-
mons to the better land at the home
Of her daughter, Mrs. Belle Bucknum
in Baker, Oregon, on Friday, Febru-
airy 26th, death resulting from a
stroke of paralysis.
Mrs. Elder was taken to the home
OF her daughter some time ago just
after suffering sever stroke of par
alysis in her home in this city. From
this attack she did not entirely rally
and was not in a condition, physic-
ally to withstand the repeated attack
which resulted in death.
The remains we're brought to
Heppner for interment and the body
was laid to rest in the family plot in
Masonic cemetery along side of the
husband and other loved ones of the
family that had gone before.
Appropriate funeral services were
conducted at the Episcopal church on
Monday afternoon, Rev. w. A. Orr,
presiding elder of the M. e. church,
South. and a former friend of the
family, officiating Mrs. Elder was a
member of the Episcopal church and
had been for many years. Many
friends gathered to show their respect
for the departed and there were
many beautiful floral offerings.
Mrs. Lucinda Elder was pioneer
of the Heppner country, having locat-
ed in this vicinity with her husband,
John N. Elder in 1867. They first
lived in Umatilla county in the vicin-
ity of Ukiah but little later re-
moved to Hinton creek in this coun-
ty where they took up homestead
and settled down to the realities of
frontier life, engaging in the cattle
and sheep business. Mr.. Elder died
in June, 1899 and not long after this
the affairs of the estate were settled
up and Mrs. Elder took up her per-
manent residence lin Heppner. She
was a woman greatly beloved by the
Heppner people because of the many
splendid virtues she possessed, and
her passing is regretted by al.
Mrs Elder was formerly Miss Lu-
cinda Treanor and a native of the
State of Illinois. She came to the Pa
cific coast by way of the Isthmus Of
Panama and was married to John N.
Elder at Marysyille, Calf, Decem-
Der 20, 1864. To this union six chill
dren were born, these being Chas. o.,
Nellie May, deceased, Mary Belle,
Frank, Sarah Ellen, deceased and
James l.. The surviving children,
with the exception Of Mrs. Belle
Bucknum, were all present at the fu-
neral. The remains were accompan-
led to Heppncr by Paul Bucknum,
her grandson.

Contracts Wool at Thirty Cents.

Report reaches this Office, which
we have not yet been fully able to
verify, that H. F. Deos, of Heppner
junction. has contracted his clip, of
wool at 80 cents. If this is fact 1t
is an index as to what the price is go
ing to be or the Morrow county
wools this season. 1t would seem
from the reports we have at hand
that growers of the Northwest will
demand and hold for prices ranging
around this figure and should the
market hold up to this our flock
masters will be doing we'll this sea-
son. We should be glad to say for
fact that Mr.. Deos has received the
price for his clip that has been re-
ported to us.

Mad Coyotes Very
Much In Evidence

Warner Kennedy, who was week
end visitor in Heppner with Mrs.
Kennedy, reports that a mad coyote
came to his ranch south of Heppner
last Thursday, and after running the
dogs to cover, started after Mrs.
Kennedy, who was out OF doors at
the time. She barely succeeded in
getting into the house ahead of the
mad animal. Mr.. Kennedy finally
managed to shoot the coyote. He al
so was obliged to kill two hounds
that had been scratched by the coy
ote in the opening battle, According
to Mr.. Kennedy, the coyotes are very
numerous in his locality, and he sur
misses that their madness may possi-
bly, be due to hunger, since there is
scarcity of rabbits, a food supply
which the animals fall back upon,
when other sources fail.
Another mad coyote was killed on
Rhea creek last Thursday, at the
Jack Devore farm by Emmett Smith.
One of Mr.. Smiths dogs started to
give battle to the coyote, but the ami
NAL turned on the dog with such fury
that the dog was glad to escape un-
injured The coyote acted in craz-
ed manner, and put up game fight
before Mr.. Smith shot him. The car
cass was burned.

Often Can Be Made to Atone Fol-

A properly designed window box,
suitably planted with trailing vines
and harmonious selection of colors,
can often be made to atone for vast
amount of architectural incougruity in
the house itself. Even in the most
skillfully designed work the need for
some softening effects about the win
dows can he felt. Aside from the
rangement, the bright colors and the
scent of the flowers add greatly to the
interior atmosphere of the house, while
the view from window is greatly en-
HANGED by being Trained in by the
foliage Of growing plants. Great care
should be taken to secure the boxes
from falling on passersby.
The window box may be made of
white pine, painted to withstand the
weather. or oak or chestnut stained
strongly put together and braced, and
should be lined with copper or zinc
with suitable apertures for drainage
The soil is put directly into the metal
lined box so formed.
OF the planting it is enough to say
that there should be vine of some
sort to hang over the edge, thus soften.
ing the rigid lines of the box, and
that the flowers selected should be
such as harmonic in color. Plants
which form constant masses of bloom
are best. 1t is well to provide severa
flowers which blossom in rotation, thus
insuring a continuous effect. Pansies
heliotrope, giant mignonette, myrtle
and similar plants are suitable fol
small boxes, while foxglove, SALIVA and
digitalis may be grown in the larger
ones. Geraniums are hardy and be

GRANGE make an excellent combination
for the smaller window gardens.

ton seed meal contains within per
cent as much protein as beef scrap
Scrap costs about twice as much az

three times as much protein as does
bran, and protein purchased in bran
costs about three and half times as
much as the protein that is purchased
in cottonseed meal.
In our work with cottonseed meal
in Missouri we have found that when
the chief source of protein is cotton
seed meal and there is no variety the
pens that have beef scrap eat more
of the feed and give better results
When a variety Of feed is. given and
some bone meal is added there is not
