BOYS TAKE A HIKE"
FOR LOVE OF WALKING

Two young men of LaGrande, w.
NJ. Peare and Roy r. Rice, passed
through Heppner yesterday on their
way to Portland. They are walking
every step of the way and the bag
gage which they are carrying on their
backs does not exceed fifteen pounds
in weight. They arrived in this city
about II O'Clock in the morning and
put up at local hotel long enough to
get bath and something to eat.
These young men are not walking
the overland trip on a wager or any
thing of that kind, but are walking
to Portland out of the pure love for
walking as Mr.. Peare said. They left
LaGrande last Sunday morning at 10:
Is and they expect to arrive in Port
land Saturday evening or Sunday
morning. The route they have cho-
sen brings them through the towns
of Meacham, Pilot Rock. Heppner,
Lexington, lone, OleX and The Dalles.
After coming onto the Columbia river
they intend to complete the trip over
the Columbia Highway. The boys
state that from LaGrande to Meach-
am they encountered some very poor
roads, but that the roads between
Pilot Rock and Heppner are in very
good condition. Beyond being foot
sore, the boys have suffered but little
and they say they are greatly enjoy
ing the trip. They will go back to
LaGrande on the train.

YOUNG MAN DIES
FROM INJURIES
Andrew A. Stamp Receives Mortal
Wound From Pitch Fork i'm Pc
Culiar Manner.

Andrew A. Stamp, son of A. H.
Stamp, Morrow county pioneer,
died at the Heppner Sanatorium in
this city about 3 o'clock Wednesday
morning from injuries received last
Sunday afternoon.
The accident which resulted in the
young mans death, came about in a
peculiar manner. Mr.. Stamp, with
his hired man, was hauling straw
from stack on the Dutton place just
west of town. In starting up the
team he used pitch fork to prod
one of the horses. In some way the
horse kicked back and sent the fork
flying in the air. One of the tines of
the fork struck young Stamp in the
neck and pierced his wind pipe. The
frightened man ran down into town
and was Immediately rushed to the
hospital, where everything possible
was done for him. 1t was thought at
first that his condition was not SER
ious, but severe complications took
place and the injured man grew
steadily weaker until death came to
his relief. His father, A. H. Stamp,
his brother, Roy and three sisters,
Luella and Grace Stamp and Mrs.
John Gates, were at the bedside when
death came.
The funeral service is being held
from the Federated church this af-
ternoon, conducted by the pastor,
Rev. w. B. Smith and interment will
take place in the Masonic cemetery.
The young man was y years OF age
last May.
Andrew Stamp was native son
OF Morrow county, and a young man
of sterling worth. About year ago,
in partnership with his brother, Roy,
he rented the Dutton land west of
town and was engaged in farming
that land at the time of his death.

"DU BARRY" AT THE HOME

Mrs. Ltslie Carter, who plays the
lead in George Kleine's beautiful six
part film "Du Barry, from the ia
nous play, wears a number of ex-
pensiye gowns that are sure to attract
comment by the feminine portion of
the audience. The total value Of
three of these dresses exceeds twen-
ty-two hundred dollars, and as they
were all purchased in Europe where,
we are told, laces and brocades grow
luxuriantly in their wild, native state,
it is difficult to say what would be
their cost in New York City.
The gown worn by Mrs. Carter in
the scene where she is introduced at
Court, is a jewel-brocaded creation
trimmed with fourteen ornaments.
This gown was designed at the fash
ionable Worth establishment in Paris
and cost $500 francs, of $500 in
American money. This Is by far the
most elaborate costume ever seen in
a motion picture, yet to- masculine
eyes it's intrinsic value remains a
shrouded, inpenetrable mystery
The entire production is charac-
terized by lavish expenditure of
money and close attention to de-
tails which makes it an eXtra-ordin-
ary example of the modern tendency
toward the beautiful and representa-
tive in pictures.
'Du Barry" opens at the Home
Theater on Friday, tomorrow, night
and shows again Saturday night.

PHIL BATES WILL AD.
DRESS lone MEETING

Philip s. Bates, the Portland pub
Usher and booster, will represent the
Portland Chamber Of Commerce at
the good roads meeting in lone to-
morrow afternoon. 1t is safe to pre-
dict that Mr.. Bates will come well
loaded with enthusiasm which he
will inject into the local good roads
boosters.
A committee has been busy the
past week telling the taxpayers of
the four districts of the Willow creek
road about the meeting and of the
proposed method which may be used
in raising the funds to carry out the
good roads idea as it pertains to this
particular section of Morrow county
highway. A goodly number of Hepp-
ner business men are planning to at
tend the meeting in lone tomorrow.

B. F. Swaggart was in the city
from his ranch north of Heppner Sat-

Big Mortgage Filed.

One Of the largest chattel mort
cages to go on record for some time
in Morrow county was the one filed
this week by the Portland Cattle
Loan Company of Portland with
County Clerk Waters. The loan is for
$104,0 600 to Stanfield Brothers, exc
cuted by r. N. Stanfield. Stanfields,

FARMERS PARTICIPATE IN RABBIT DRIVE

Three hundred people from lone,
Morgan and Cecil and country trib-
utary to these towns gathered at the
Pete Benson farm eight miles north
of lone last Sunday and conducted a
raid on the rabbits which resulted in
the slaughter of nearly 700 of these
pests.
The drive lasted about two hours,
everybody using clubs to dispose OF
the animals after they had been herd
ed into the corral which had been
constructed for the drive. Whit Pal
mateer, of Morgan, had charge of the
drive.
The corral was constructed at the
mouth of a canyon and wings made
OF wire netting were stretched out
for considerable distance on each

side The drivers formed in two
squads and advanced on the hills
toward the corral. After the drive.
the hungry participants were given
big lunch by Mr.. Benson, and the
day was made one of joy as we'll as
one of profit.
Residents Of that section will ask
the county court for a small appro-
priation with which to buy enough
material to greatly enlarge the corral
and extend the wings and conduct an
other big drive in about two weeks.
Rabbits are becoming a real menace
to the welfare of farmers in the north
end Of the county, and it is believed
that these drives will result in ma
terially reducing the damage done
each year from this source.

Chicago Dry One Day in Seven.

No more open saloons on Sunday

aid says: 1.-THE driest dry-as-dust
dry would never have suspected it.
The dampest wet would have bet his
last drink that the thing was impos-
sible. The neutral citizen wouldn t
have believed it if George Washing
ton reincarnated had given him
an inside tip" The Tribune pertin-
emily points out that the signifi-
cance of the mayors acton 'is in its
indication Of the growth of temper
ance sentiment--a phenomenon OBJ
servable throughout the country"
The w. c. T. U. delegates to the
national convention, leaving Chicago
for Seattle the day after the issuing
of the order, gave three rousing
cheers for William Hale Thompson,
the only mayor of Chicago who ever
had nerve enough to enforce the
law"

Thompson. "This proposition has
nothing to do with whether am wet
or dry. When the corporation coun-
sci said the law was valid | had to
enforce 1t under my oath of Office.

AS TO TABLE DISLIKES

N thorough accord with
the views of certain au-
thorities who believe,
with limitations, that people
are better off if they eat what
they like is the following let
ter printed in the Christmas
issue of the Woman's Home
Companion:
Il am constrained to protest
against the advice given
mothers to oblige their chill
dren to eat food which they
dislike. Most grown people
have their likes and dislikes.
and if it were punishment to
them to eat a despised article,
how much more so it is to a
child to whom small troubles
loom as tragedies. The child's
distaste should not be discuss
ed, simply ignored until he has
forgotten how much he hated
9 certain article. There are
so many good and nourishing
things, that if one is fancied
how much better to
something else
thereby avoiding issues and
which everyone
knows are harmful to a child'a
nerves and health, and dispo-
sition as well. And as for let

needed nourishment till next !

the injustice of it is too ap-

qualities of the town as a

the effrontery to plead fer the

Such a line Of action by a
candidate is a reflection on the

cal people are not guided by
time honored standards based
en- common sense and human
decency but instead prefer that
which is low and dirty. 1t is
assumption that Pendleton
does not care for bread but
loves manure.
The East Oregonian is con.
vinced DR.. Best is wrong in his
estimate of Pendleton and will
find such to be the case. This
is not a town of saints to be
sure but in their hearts the peo-
pie are true to their homes and
they prefer decency to moral.
filth. They will not say that
Pendleton should wear a halo
but they will balk at giving
open control of the city to the
forces of evil. They will not
allow the flag of the bootleg
ger to be Haunted from the
tower of the city hall; they
will not insult the womanhood
of the town by placing in the
chair a man who plays
to the vice circles and is re-
ceiving organized help from
them.
Finally like w. w. Harrah

for home town should count
for more than Swagger, Bet,
