the old instinct awoke in him. He
outdistanced the picket.
He heard the hollow sound of tap
ping as he ran on, and knew that the
natives were sounding hollow trees
to warn thosein front of him. He ran
with pumping lungs and bursting
heart, until he saw Grey, shadow on
the horizon against the misty dawn.
Two miles-and the attack might
begin at any moment now. He quick
ened his speed. A group of armed
warriors burst out from among the
trees. They flung their spears, but
missed him. He was almost invisible
among the reeds of the dried river
bed, and he ran. He heard their steps
die in the distance. And Grey was
still safe.
A mile, and it was growing light.
The savages must be around the
town. waiting for the signal to close.
He stopped A cluster of shadows
against the sky resolved itself into
one wing of the savage army, drawn
up in battle array.
He knew that they would wait sew
eral minutes while the witch-doctor
gave them medicine" to make them
invulnerable against bullets. He
worked his way round among the
reeds. He had got fifty yards in front
of them before he heard the rustling
Of their shields; and he knew that
Grey had still ten minutes of grace.
He was in Grey now. He passed like
a shadow between the outlying
houses, running along the highway
until he reached the administrator
house, next to the police camp. He

Where did you get that spear

The spear cast at the snake had

many men would have dropped

Before his glazing eyes these came
another Vision-a girl who leaned

face.

Has Prospects For Fine Crop.

One of the best looking fields of
grain that has been reported to this
Office is that of 900 acre Of bluestem
wheat belonging to Ed Adkins, on the
Markham place, southwest of Hepp-
ner. Frank Gillian made trip out
through the Eight Mile section re-
Gently and he says that he did not
see any grain that excelled that of
Mr.. Adkins. In describing this par
ticular field of grain, Mr.. Gillian
likened the leaves unto those Of
corn, they were so exceptionally
large. According to Mr.. Gillian
nothing short of hall storm can pre-
vent this grain from making a bum
per yield. Mr. Adkins has In 1900
acres altogether, having under cul-
tivation large part of the McKim-
mey ranch, as we'll as large body Of
land in the Cason canyon section.
The grain yield on these two latter
places will be only average, but many
who have seen the grain on the Cason
canyon ranch, say 1t will make the
best crop ever produced thereon.

Frye Receivers Stolen Car.

L. E. Frye, proprietor of the Ar
lington Garage, passed through
Heppner Monday on his way home,
from Pendleton, where he had gone
to recover his new Studebaker six
which had ben stolen out of the
Studebaker station at Condor last
Saturday night.
1t was not until Sunday morning
that Mr.. Frye discovered that his
machine was gone, and the officers
of the surrounding counties were i'm
mediately notified. Sheriff McDuffee
of this city was given a description
of the car and he kept sharp look
out for its appearance here. How
ever, the auto thieves gave Heppner
the gO-by, but they were finally ap-
pretended at Pendleton by Sheriff
T. D. Taylor. The name plate had
been torn off of the car in order to
mislead the officers, but otherwise
the machine was in good condition
when recovered At least three par
ties are implicated in the thievery,
and the one who was driving the car
at the time he was taken by Sheriff
Taylor, was returned to the sheriff
Of Gillian county.

years instruction in subject He
found the high school deficient in a
few equipments. The laboratories
of the. physical geography and biol
ogy departments need more appara-
tus and the library needs more books
of reference. To supply these will
be comparatively inexpensive and it
is to be hoped that the board will
order these things purchased at once,
If they do, this will place our high
school on an equality with any high
school in the state and entitled under
the new law to collect tuition from
the county fund for foreign students.
Heretofore the board has not charged
tuition of its foreign pupils and the
district has paid for the instruction
of these pupils. The new law pro-
vides that the county shall pay this
tuition. This of course is only just.
1t will help us to maintain a better
school and everyone will be common
ly benefited.
incidentally, Mr.. Churchill said
some very pleasing things about the
Heppner public schools. He said the
building is one of the most conven-
iently arranged and beautiful in the
state, that the commencement eX-
ercises were as good as any that he
had attended this year; and that the
character of the work done in the

Heppner Wool Sale
Date Is Changed

The Heppner Wool Sales will not
be held on next Tuesday as was first
advertised, but the date has been
changed for a week later. Tuesday.
June Is. This change is made nee
essary through the late shearing sea-
son. Many of the leading fockmas-
ters have no yet completed their
shearing, and consequently could not
have their clips in the warehouse by
the time of the sale as originally set.
1t is thought that in another week,
many of them will have finished.
There is great deal of specula-
tion at present as to just what prices
the wool men will be offered. A
week ago at Echo the sales were such
a dismal failure that not one clip was
sold publicly, although several sales
were made privately later The buy
ers offered less than market prices
and the growers refused to sell.
Whether these same conditions will
prevail at the Heppner sales on a
week from Tuesday remains to be
seen.

NINE GRADUATES
RECEIVE DIPLOMAS
Crowded House Listens to OratiOns
And Address of State Superin-
tendent j. A. Churchill.

Nine young graduates of Heppner
high school received their diplomas
from the hand of County Superin-
tendent of Schools, S. E. Notson, at
the high school auditorium last Fri
day evening at the conclusion of the
Commencement exercises.
The program of the evening was
opened with piano solo by Miss Vir-
ginia Crawford which was followed
by invocation offered by Rev. T. S.
Handsaker. The high school chorous
sang, "'Tis Our Festal Day" in very
pleasing manner and then Miss Helen
Aiken, class salutatorian, gave the
first Grafton of the evening on In
dustrial Evolution" In the course
of her address, Miss Aiken paid
high tribute to the present faculty,
the board of education and of the
very schol itself. "The Open Door"
was the Grafton delivered by Spencer
Crawford, current subject delivered
in able manner, which showed clear
ly the golden opportunity of the Uni
ted States to grasp the bulk of the
worlds commerce. Harley Adkins,
valedictorian, delivered a mastery
Grafton on Has Christianity Failed?"
Mr. Adkins clearly defined the situa-
tion of the present cOmbatants Of the
European war and declared that their
attitude one toward the other is any
thing but Christ-like.
The address to the class by Hon.
j. A. Churchill, State Superintendent
of Public instruction. will be long re-
membered. Mr.. Churchill is a very
practical school man and his address
naturally followed lines of school
work and it was full Of splendid
thought and instruction, the audience
being thoroughly enlightened as to
some OF the new legislation passed at
the last session Of the Legislature
concerning the public schools of Ore
gon. He also spoke at some length
of other proposed legislation, and
dwelt especially upon the County
Unit Plan that failed of passage at
Salem last winter. This measure
will be brought forward again, and
Mr.. Churchill is hopeful that 1t will
be enacted into law. From his ex-
planation of this plan we believe that
the school system of the state will be
greatly benefited and more efficient
teachers and school officers selected
thereby.
The remarks of the State Superin-
tendent directed especially to the
class of graduates should be remem-
bered by them throughout their
lives. Having had so much exper-
ience in the school room, Prof. Chur-
chill is very competent to advise in
matters of education, as we'll as the
practical affairs of life. Some of the
graduates from our High School will
doubtless continue their educational
pursuits, and in this they were en-
couraged by the speaker who praised
very highly the higher institutions of
learning of this state, and the grad
yates were advised that II it were
possible they should take advantage
of the opportunities offered. Others
of the class may be called upon to
enter the active duties of life, and to
be thoroughly prepared for the best
service, they were all urged to join
some church and to cultivate the re-
ligious and moral sides of their ma
ture in order to become the most eff
ficient citizens of the community.

.0LAA SUGAR CLAIMS
ARE PROMPTLY PAID

Bishop & Company esterday received
cable advices announcing that the
Thames & Mersey Marine Insurance
Company Of Liverpool had settled in
full for the insurance held in that com
pany by Bishop & Company for 1880
bags of sugar of the Olaa Sugar Com
pany shipped on the steamer Wash
ingtonian which foundered off Delaware
Breakwater on January 25 last. Bishop
& Co. are agents for the Olaa company.
The insurance carried on the Olaa
sugar amounted to $4,000. This sum
was placed to the credit Of Bishop b
Company with the Bank of California
at San Francisco yesterday. Louis
essential, general agent on the Pacific
Coast for the Thames & Mersey Com.
pany, directed the settlement.
Bottomley signs Papers
A. W. II, Bottomley, treasurer, of the
Olaa Sugar Company, Is now at San
Francisco. He signed the papers neces
sary to completing the transaction. II
was stated yesterday that the 0laa
company made about SIC, 900 in excess
of what it would have received had the
sugar been delivered at the refneries
This profit was made possible bby the
fact that the Olaa company was moi
required to pay freight upon the lost
cargo.
Another big claim paid was that OF
the British and Foreign Marine lnsur
ance Company of Liverpool on the sugal
cargo shipped on the Washingtonian by
Theo. Davies. & Co. The total amount
carried by this firm was $4,000. Pay
ment was made at New York City Il
the agents for the Theo. II. Davies &
Company at that city.
Settlement Quickly Made
This $4,000 settlement was made
several days ago, y said a local insur
ance man yesterday. 1.-THE promptnesl
in which it was made, practically lesI
than a week after the WashingtoniaI
sank, shows that the tendency of thu
insurance companies in these days i
to settle as promptly as possible afte
proof of loss has been established. j
also shows that foreign insurance com
nanies doing business in the Unite,
states are not handicapped for fund
with which to make settlements, a con
