The New Masonic Building,

1t has been practically settled that
Heppner Lodge No. So, A. F. & A. M
will erect new temple on their lot
at the corner of Main and Willow
streets, and that work on the same
will not be long delayed.
The matter is now in the hands OF
the Finance and Building committees
who are authorized by the Lodge to
proceed with the preliminary ar
rangements. This involves the ar
ranging for funds and the selection
of an architect, two very necessary
steps to be taken before the final ar.
rangements are entered into.
The building contemplated will cost
in the neighborhood of $16,OO0.00
1t will be constructed of pressed
brick, two stories and have full con.
crete basement, and according to
present expressed ideas will be a
splendid ornament to our little city
Some handsome drawings have been
presented to the Lodge by various
architects and selection from most
any of them would be a desirable
structure so far as outside appear
ances go.
At any rate, the style and con-
struction of the new building will be
such as the citizens of Heppner will
be proud of, and will add much to
the attractiveness and appearance Of
Main street.

Forest Notes.

Nearly two million willow cut
tings have been distributed by the
Forest Service among State Expert
ment Stations, Forest schools and in
dividual growers. Now that the Eu-
ropean supply of willow for furniture
and baskets has been cut off, this
American material is in greater de-
mand.
The total amount of standing tim
ber in the United States is nearly g.
800 billion board feet. Of this
amount, about 76 per cent is pri-
vately owned, approximately 21 per
cent is National Forests, and about
per cent in some other form of pub
lie ownership-Federal, state or mu-
nicipal.
The aim of forestry is to bring the
forest up to its highest state of pro-
ductiveness and keep it there.
BY greater economy in the use of
wood, the per capita consumption
could easily be reduced from the
present figure of 26O cubic feet to
150 or even 100 cubic feet without
hardship. AT present we use only
SO per cent of the total volume OF
the tree and leave SO per cent to be
wasted.
In this country. twenty-five states
have active forest departments and
employ professional foresters; twen'
ty States have efficient fire-protective
systems; fourteen have established
State forests, and thirteen maintain
forest-tree nurseries.

Little Interest Taken
In School Election

The annual school meeting was
held at the Council chambers in
Heppner on Monday afternoon, and
was remarkable for its extreme tame
ness. There was no opposition ticket
in the field, hence nothing to arouse
the interest of the voters.
Just thirty people turned out to
cast their votes, and these were re-
corded for l.. E. Bisbee for director,
to take the place of M. D. Clark, and
Vawter Crawford for clerk, to sue
ceed himself.
At the opening of the polls it was
thought there was not going to be
enough present to conduct the elec-
tion but this condition changed after
short time and in the course of a
half hour enough men were in sight
to start the ball rolling. Two wo-
men, only, voted at this election, and
it was decided by those present that
it was absolutely necessary to get two
tickets in the field if any interest of
note was taken in school elections in
District No. l.
However, there should have been
larger representation present to
hear the reading of the annual report
of the district clerk. This report
shows total receipts for the year
from all sources to be S,411.O0;
total expenses, $14,661.S4, leaving a
balance on hand of $3,749.16. The
total bonded Indebtedness of the dis
trict is $4S, 100000, and the valua-
tion of the school property is placed
at $53,S00.00, this being estimated.
The teaching for the year cost the
district $S,027, and interest on bond
ed indebtedness, $26S0; fuel and
school supplies, $f601.2S; repairs,
improving grounds and janitor, ST.
1897; insurance premiums, $685.
SO; clerks salary, $4,000; all other
expenses $64.09.

|Heppner and lone to
Play Three Games

Visitors to the Chautauqua who
are keen for good ball game will
not be disappointed, but instead of
Moro and lone, who were previously
advertised to appear on the local
diamond, Heppner will take on the
Egg City boys since it is impossible
for Moro to make the trip at this
time.
Three games will be played. The
first game will be played Saturday
afternoon at $50 at the Depot
grounds, and the second game will
take place at the same time on Sun
day. The third game is scheduled
for 1890 Monday morning.
Creston Maddox has taken charge
of rounding up team of players and
he has been fortunate in being able
to get line on some very good ma
terial at this time. lone has not lost
but one game all season and the To-
cal boys are expecting to meet with
some stubborn opposition.

Umatilla County Boasts of Man 100
Years Gid.

Umatilla county las a man 1O9
years old, according to reports from
Nye, where he lives. lie is ]. H.
Foster, pioneer resident. The Wes-
ton Leader is responsible for the fol-
lowing story relative to the centen-
arian:
81. H. Foster of Nye, Oregon, is
thought to be the oldest resident of
Umatilla county and perhaps of east
ern Oregon, having reached the age
of 109 years. George L. Horseman,
of Weston, who has known the old
gentleman for thirty years, says that
he is still quite spry and hearty, and
bids fair to celebrate several more
birthday anniversaries. Mr.. Foster
has lived in this county for half a
century or more, having a small stock
ranch on Big Butter creek below Vim
son. He seldom leaves his ranch and
is known to but few people as a CEN
tenarian outside of his own neighbor-
hood. Not long ago an argument
over his age was brought up among
his friends and he was asked to set
tie 1t, but replied he had forgotten
the exact number of years. A neigh
Dor thereupon wrote to Mr.. Fosters
home county in England, and found
from the records that he is 109."-

Have Taken Possession.

The trade of ranches between w.
B. Potter of Spray and Messrs. G. A.
and D. X. Nichols, of Winona, Wash,
was closed the last of the week, and
the parties are now exchanging
places of residence. The Nichols
boys get MIR. Potter's fine stock ranch
near SPRAY, known as the Dam ranch
and which is considered one of the
best general purpose stock ranches
in Wheeler county, and Mr.. Potter
takes over 1900 acres of wheat land,
all improved, in the Palouse country,
near Winona station. He gets all
farm implements and necessary
equipment for running the place and
growing crop of 700 acres which
gives promise of big yield this sea-
son. The sheep and stock of the Pot
ter ranch are taken over by the new
owners, and the deal involved large
amount of cash as we'll. The goods
and chattels of the Nichols boys
passed through Heppner this week
for Spray and they take immediate
possession of their new home. Mr..
Potter will leave at once for his new
possessions and expects within a very
short time to be in the midst of a
big wheat harvest. We are favorably
impressed with the new people. who
are experienced in the stockraising
business, and we bespeak for them
abundant success. Mr.. Potter and
family have resided at Heppner and
Spray for many years past, and their
many friends will wish them great
success in their new undertaking.

Hartman Pioneer Dies.

John Miller, pioneer of the Hard
man section, died at the hospital in
Heppner last night. Mr.. Miller had
been very sick for the past four
months, suffering from a complica-
tion of ailments of stomach and bow
els. 1t was at last decided that he
could be relieved only by an opera
tion, and he was brought to Heppner
for this purpose, when it was found
that it was too late for this step to be
Of any benefit to him.
Mr.. Miller was 76 years of age, and
he leaves four grown sons who reside
near Hardman. Besides these sons,
who are William, Dvaid, Francis and
James Miller. he leaves a married
daughter, Mrs. John Eads. residing in
Malheur county. He was a pioneer
of the Hardman country, having set
tied there more than thirty years ago,
was a good neighbor and well re-
spected citizen. Funeral services will
be held at Hardman tomorrow and

in that business. Being we'll ac-
quainted with the travelling public
throughout Oregon, he will undoubt-

TO SEE HISTORIC BELL

Spokane, Wash, June 23.-The
greatest patriotic celebration ever
held in Spokane is being planned on
the occasion of the visit of the Lib
erty bell, from s o'clock a. m, until
noon on Tuesday, July 13.
All railroads serving the Inland
Empire having granted round trip
rates of fare and one-third for the
territory 100 miles in all directions
from Spokane, the event will be par
ticipated in by several thousand peo-
pie from all parts Of the district.
Patriotic and civic societies of
Spokane are in charge of the days
celebration, under the direction of
general committee of which w S.
McCrea, vice president of the cham
Der of commerce, is chairman. The
bell will be seen at the new union
station, where arrangements are be-
| ing made safely and eXpeditiously to
handle a crowd of from $4,000 to
100000 people.
Throughout the journey of the his
toric old bell in the state of Wash
ington, Governor Ernest Lister will
act as escort. Governor Lister, Sena-
tor Miles Poindexter and Mayor Ru-
dolph Blankenburg of Philadelphia
will be the speakers at the ceremon-
les attending the visit in Spokane.
The Liberty bell was brought to
America from England in 1852. In
the colonies it was first rung to call
the assembly together in August.
1853. Its ringing often assembled
the people in the years preceding the
Revolution. but its most notable
function was the calling of the col
onies to hear the reading of I've Dec
laraton of Independence. Tie sur
render of Lord CORVALLIS at York
town in 1891 and the proclamation
of peace in 1888 were celebrated by
the ringing of this famous old bell.
1t was rung several times later, the
last time to mark the death of Chief
Justice John Marshall, July s, 1885.
when it sustained the crack that has
silenced it for all time.
In all probability this will be the
Liberty BELLS last journey on account
of the danger of further breakage
from travel,

CELEBRATE EATLEX|NGTON

We wish to call attention to the
splendid program for the Indepen-
dence Day celebration at Lexington
on July 3rd. You will find it else
where in these columns, and by 60
ing over it you will note that the
good people of that community are
preparing to entertain the Morrow
county citizens in grand style. So
far as we are informed, there will be
no celebration elsewhere in the coun-
ty, and this being the case, Lexing-
ton should have a big crowd,
We should like to see large num-
bers go down from Heppner. The
grove at Lexington is fine place for
a picnic, and there is no better way
to show our appreciation of the eff
forts being put forth by our sister
city to give us a good time on the
Fourth" than by attending her Gel
ebration. 1t is a neighborly act.

EGGS WILL Be
GRADED By SYSTEM
Portland Egg Dealers Form AssOcia-
tion That VIII Bring Oregon
Eggs Out of Present Bad Re-
pute-Will Have A STAN
dard System.

The Gazette Times is in receipt of
letter from one of our local mer-
chants which will naturally be of in
terest to the farmers of this section,
and especially to those who are in
the poultry business. This letter tells
of new organization which has been
formed in Portland by egg dealers of
that city, which has been named the
Portland Egg and Poultry Dealers
Association. The letter says in part:
For some time past Oregon eggs
have been in bad repute in the other
coast markets. This has been caused
by the eggs not receiving proper care
both by the producer and the shipper.
This feeling was growing to
alarming proportions, and in fact, got
to such point that all Oregon eggs
were in danger of becoming second
class product in other markets. There
being no good reason why this should
exist other than the fact that our
eggs were not being cared for prop
erly, it became plain that the remedy
was to find some means that would
take better care and more attention
to quality by the producers and ship
pers.
For this reason, and to promote
the egg and poultry trade and indus
try in general, The Portland Egg and
Poultry Dealers Association was
formed. 1t is composed of practically
all the egg dealers in Portland. I'm
mediately after the association Or
ganized it decided to establish stan
dard of grading eggs that could be
used as basis of trade.
Following are the grades estab-
lished:
1.-THE grades shall consist of No. 1,
No. 2, and No. 3 eggs.
'No. l eggs shall weigh not less
than 55 pounds to the case, in STAN
dard cases and shall be fresh, clean,
full and sweet
mo 2 eggs shall consist of slightly
dirty. slightly shrunken, and under
sized eggs and washed eggs; and
shall be reasonably fresh and sweet.
'No. 8 eggs shall consist of stale,
extremely small dirty and cracked
eggs that are not leaking.
Duck eggs, picked and treated
eggs shall be graded No. 2 or 8 ac-
cording to quality All rots, spot
rots, leakers, sour and musty eggs
shall be considered dead loss.
'All eggs shall be packed in STAN
| dard egg cases, new or good second
hand that will stand shipping. Eggs
packed in other than standard egg
cases shall be subject to a deduction
of one-half cent per dozen.
From time to time the association
will issue letters to the general trade
containing matters of interest regard
ing the egg trade and industry
