Miss Marie Hager, popular
young lady of this city and Mr. Cliff
ford Sims, of Eugene were married
at the brides home Wednesday morn
ing at 6:30. Rev. w. A. Orr, of
Milton, performed the ceremony in
the presence of the two immediate
families of the contracting parties
and a few close friends. The bride
was attired in a neat travelling suit of
blue and the groom wore a suit of
blue serge. Miss Hager was given
away by her brother, j. Osmin Hager
and the groom was attended by his
brother, Henry Sims, of Eugene
Miss Virginia Crawford played the

beautifully decorated with apple

the ceremony, dainty wedding
breakfast was served.
Miss Hager has many friends here,
having made this city her home since
childhood. She was a member of
the class graduating from Heppner
High School in 1912. Later she spent
two years at the University of Oregon
at Eugene, and is a member of the
Delta Gamma sorority. Mr.. Sims
graduated from the University of
Oregon in 1913, and was very we'll
known as an athlete while in college.
Mr.. Sims is member of the Sigma
Chi Fraternity and is at this time en-
gagged in business in Eugene.
The young people departed for
Eugene yesterday, where they will be
at home to their friends after May

w. Sims, and his brother and sister
Henry Sims and Mrs. Robinson.

WILL LIKELY PUT UP NEW
BUILDING FOR THE MASONS

Heppner Lodge No. 50, A. F. & A.
M. are taking preliminary steps look
ing to the erecting of new building
on their lot at the southwest corner of
Main and Willow streets. The pres
ent building has stood on this lot for
the past 81 years and is now badly in
need of repairs and the Lodge feels
that it is somewhat a waste of funds
to put money into this old hall and
attempt to modernize it. However,
the steps now being taken are only
preliminary and for the purpose Of
arriving at the estimated cost of the
new structure and to ascertain just
what the disposition or the majority
of the membership is with regard to
the contemplated Improvements. At
this time the sentiment appears to be
strongly in favor of new building.

Heppner Commercial Club has TAX
en- up the matter of getting in touch
with the committee having in charge
the celebration of The Dalles-C Cello
canal opening. We have heard but
little about this in Heppner, and are
beginning to wonder If our citizens
really have no interest in this great
event. The completion of this great
work means much to our county and
we should be ready to join with our
neighbors of the Columbia River
counties in helping to make the cele-
bration success. Some few people
from here are planning to attend, to
be sure, but the idea is to have a
large delegation of citizens there to
show that we are awake to the ben
fits to be derived from an open river,
and also to express our appreciation
of what the general government has
done for our development in opening
up the great inland waterway to
navigation.

CHRISTIAN CHURCH NOTES.

Subject for next Sunday morn
ing's discourse: Jesus the Friend of
Sinners"
Evening theme: IF John The
Baptist Should Come to Heppner."
The Sunday School contest opened
with Pendleton last Sunday. We have
not heard yet from the Roundup city
but our school made a good showing
with 154 present.
The cantata given last Sunday
evening was decided success as
evidenced by the large and attentive
audience. Every available seat in
the church was occupied. The in
terest shown indicates that Heppner
has many music lovers who appre-
ciate the higher class of music. Mr..
o. G. Crawford is entitled to much
credit for the able manner in which
he drilled and conducted the chorus.

Base Ball at lone Saturday.

The local High School base ball
team will journey to lone Saturday to
meet the Egg City boys in the second
game of the year. The first game re-
suited in victory for the Heppner
boys and they are naturally little
over confident. The line up will
probably be the same as on the first
occasion.

The train on the local branch was
delayed several hours Wednesday
when the engine became ditched

by the rails spreading. Another en-

EASTER CANTATA GREETED
BY A LARGE AUDIENCE.

The Easter cantata, Resurrection
Light" was rendered in splendid
manner on Sunday evening at the
Christian church by a chorus compos-
ed of members from the different
choirs of the city. An audience that
filled the church full to overflowing
greeted the singers, and the rendi-
tion of the beautiful choruses and
solos was well received.
Mr.. O. G. Crawford directed, and
Miss Virginia Crawford was the plan
ist, while leading solos were taken
by Miss Marie Hager, Mr.. Harley
Adkins, Mrs. Winnard, Mrs Craw-
ford, Mr.. Jackson and Mr.. Crawford.
The work of preparation had been
somewhat handicapped on account of
time but there was no lack of enthu-
siasm on the part of the performers
and the rendition of the cantata was
very creditable to them and salts
factory and pleasing to the audience.
The people Of Heppner are interested
in good music and like to hear it,
and this cantata is classed among the
best of such works for amateur
choirs.
The singers interested in giving
this cantata have organized choral
union to which other talent will be
added to make it a strong organiza-
ton, and they will enter into the re-
hersal of the better class of choruses
in order to be prepared to entertain
our people as future occasions may
demand. This is very worthy move
proper encouragement. They have in
mind a big sing about the time of the
county fair which should add to the
entertainment features of that event

Z. Z. Rugg was in town from his
Spring Hollow ranch yesterday and
reports that it has been necessary for
him to re-seed at least two-thirds of
his alfalfa fields this spring. He suf-
fered much from the visitation of
grasshoppers last summer and they
succeeded in killing off the most of
his alfalfa. He has put in a large
amount of barley which will be cut
later for hay, Crop conditions appear
to be good in his locality, barring
the alfalfa shortage.

Railroad Almost Assured.

RutherfordtOn. A mass-meetlng
called by citizens interested in the
construction of a railroad from Ruth
erfordton toward the west, in order
to reach the timber lands of Polk
County was held in the court house.
The meeting was called to order by
Mayor H. l.. Carpenter. w. w. Hicks
was secretary. K. S. Tanner, c. L.
Miller and w. A. Harrill reported
that they were in communication with
the Southern and Seaboard Air Line
as to connections, freight rates, etc.
Messrs. Hicks and Carpenter report
ed that every business man but one
in town had agreed to give business
to the proposed road.
Engineer George L. Mckay report
ed the result of a survey to the meet
ing. 1t is proposed to locate a depot

tical route has been found to either

Ancient Artisans in Africa.

The question has often been asked.
Was there any earlier race in occupa-
ton of the arena in Africa at present
held by the Bantus? In Man w. H.
Beech reports that in the Kikuyu coun-
try some ancient pottery has been said
to be the work of a people called Gum
ba, who displaced the Miathoachiana,
cannibal dwarfs.
These Miathoachiana are now be-
lieved to be th-gnomes, skilled in
the art of iron working. Mr.. Beech,
with some amount of FEASIBILITY, sug-
gests that they were possibly bush
men, pygmies, or both, and that they
were a local Indigenous race of the
stone age who used flint implements
often found in the Kikuyu country.
The Gumba are said to have made
pottery and to have taught the Kikuyu
the art of smelling. They may have
been pre-Bantau Hamite invaders; but
of this there is no evidence and the
legend may tend to show that the
first discovery of iron was made in
Africa.

BANKER PROPOSES
FARM LOAN BANK
PRESIDENT COOPER OF BANKERS
ASSOCIATION ADVOCATES
INSTITUTION
After Convention Closed Bankers and
Families Went on Sea Trip to New
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. 500.

Wr1ghtsville Beach.-The session.
OF the nineteenth annual convention
OF the State Bankers Association have
been featured by the reports of Presi-
dent Thomas E. Cooper of Whining
ton and Secretary w. A. Hunt of Hen
derson and the address of w. P. G..
Harding of the Federal Reserve
Board, the real sensational one can
call the proposition of a level-headed
business man a sensation-being
President Cooper's proposal for q
land bank of North Carolina.
Examination into rural conditions
and credit needs of the farmers has,
declared Mr.. Cooper, shown that
something must be done to see that
the farmers get more and easier
money. To meet the demand created
by such conditions he said that he
endorsed, offered to the consideration
of the association and would advocate
before the State Legislature at it's
next session a bank with a capital
of 100000, stock to be pro-rated
among the counties of the state, to
be non-taxable and to pay something
like five per cent dividends, the sur
plus until it reaches 20 per cont to be
held as reserve fund to take care of
any losses of the capital, the remain
der of the profits reverting to the
state.
The bank would lend it's money to
farmers for 20 to 80 years at a rate
not in excess of six per cent for the
purpose of improving their farms, but
before making loan would require
the borrower to place his real estate
unde rthe Torrens system. Interest as
well as curtailments would be collect
ed by county sheriff or treasurer and
RENTED to the State Treasurer, who
would also be custodian of all notes
and mortgages.
Secretary Hunts report gave a
summary of the increase in the num-
Der of banks in the state. May 1,
he said, there were 81 banks and trust
companies which included 16 branch
es, 70 national banks, 395 Incorporate
ed state banks, one private bank, II
savings banks, II trust companies re-
ceiving deposits and 16 branch banks.
During the past year three banks
were closed by the Corporation Com
mission. The net membership of the
association is 400 banks.
The convention came to an end
with an address by William Ingle,
agent of the Federal Reserve Bank
of Richmond, and the election of Of
f1cers following which 100 or more
left for sea trip to New York.
Bankers say this has been the most
successful and in every way the most
enjoyable convention in it's history.
The attendance is almost 800.
