lame was very clear. A venerable
bearded priest stood beside the lamp.
His discourse was earnest and solemn.
Both man and woman hearers were
very attentive
The ceremonies of worship are quite
simple, but the mysteries of the faith
may be less so. The Parsees who
have been educated in England and
many of those whose English educa-
ton has been obtained in Bombay
resent the designation of fire worship
ers.
One of them gave me monograph,
written by a Parsee barrister in Lon
don, which explained the creed of the
followers of Zoroaster as one of good
thoughts, good words and good deeds,
with the sacred fame as a symbol of
the effulgence of the deity. 1t is not
denied, however, that contact with
Hindus and Mohammedans has caused
corruptions to creep into the creed
The Hindus and Moslems regard the
Parsees as fire worshipers.
1t was on a New Year day that |
drove out to Malabar hill, where are
located the Towers of Silence, or the
Farsee cemetery. Every traveller takes
this drive 1t is past the other GENE
teries, Christian and Mohammedan
burial grounds and the Hindu burning
CHAT The cemetery of the Christians
is no longer used, but on almost any

nerals and Hindu cremations.
On this day there were two Moham-
medan funerals and three parties of
Hindu mourners, with their respective
burdens at the burning CHAT.
Malabar hill is the choice spot over
looking the Arabian sea- Within the
cemetery grounds are fagstone steps,
shaded walks and arbors and bowers
A luxuriant vegetation covers the
rocks. and there is everything that
goes to make a beautiful garden of
flowers.
The towers of Silence, of which
there are five, are hardly towers at
all. They are about 275 feet in cir
conference and perhaps 25 feet high.
The material is whitewashed stone
and cement or mortar. near ap.
proach to the towers is not allowed
to strangers to the Parsee creed, nor
is entrance permitted to the fire tenn
pie, where the sacred fire is kept alive
and seven kinds of incense are burned.
A model of the towers is shown in
the registry room and an attendant ex-
plains them to visitors. The attend
ant explained to me the circular rows
in which the bodies were placed-one
for the children. one for the women
and one for the men. When the bodies
have been stripped of their fleshly
covering by the vultures. which takes
perhaps half an hour, the bones re-
main for a while, and are then
dropped into a well in the center,
which is provided with drains and

purifier.

Lecture On India
Very Interesting

DR.. ]. Carlos Ghormley delivered
a very interesting and instructive lec-
ture at the Christian church Friday
night on India. DR.. Ghormley Is a
medical missionary to that country,
who has been at home on an extend
ed furlough for the past year and a
half, during which time he has been
attending the medical department of
the University of Oregon and more
thoroughly equipping himself for the
work he has undertaken. His lee
ture is illustrated by more than
hundred stereopticon slides. the pic
lures bringing to the mind through
the vision more polntedly than any
word picture could, the conditions
that surround the people of that land.
The speaker also explained quite full
" the habits and customs of the peo-
ple of India, as well as telling what
the English government has accom-
plished for them. Progress along all
lines of civilization has been slow but
results are now being obtained lit
tie more rapidly and few more gen.
erations will show marked improve
ment, both as to the spread Of Chris
tianity and improved sanitary and
civic conditions. Mr.. Ghormley ex-
meets to return to the work In that
country as soon as he has finished
his medical course.

MORROW TEACHERS AT
OREGON SUMMER SCHOOL
Mrs. Wedding and Miss Wallen At
tend School at Eugene.

Among the Morrow county stud
ents at the University of Oregon Sum-
mer School are Ella B. Wallen and
Mrs. Lucy T. Wedding. Miss Wal
lens course includes Mathematics,
Physical and Social Hygiene, and
Gymnastics. Mrs. Wedding is TAX
ing work in History of Education and
working for the NJ A. degree. On
August 5, Mrs. Wedding was grant
ed her M. A. degree, having success
fully passed the required examina-
ton.
The Summer School this year is
larger than ever before, and the Stud
ent Body is remarkable in several
respects. In the first place, there
are half again as many men as wo-
men. This is very unusual in sum-
mer schools, which are, as a general
thing, composed to very large ex-
tent of women teachers. The men
at the Oregon Summer School this
year are, many of them in the prime
of life. According to DR.. Schafer,
director of the school, their average
age is probably thirty years or more.
They include numerous county and
city superintendents and high and
consolidated school principals who
are working for higher degrees and
to advance themselves in their pro-
fession.

COMMERCIAL CLUB
TO HAVE MEETING
Several Matters of Importance To Be
COnsidered.-A Large Attend
ance Desired.-MIOnumen
Route to be Taken Up.

Heppner Commercial Club will
meet tomorrow, Friday, evening. for
the transaction of important busi-
ness.
The Heppner- Monument stage
route proposition has again been
turned down by the post Office au-
thorities to whom it was presented at
Washington, and this is to be up
again for some decision as to what
action will be taken in the future.
Our people here are in earnest re-
garding the establishment of this
mail route. They have been doing
some faithful work to get it in shape
to be accepted by the department and
have received bids, which from the
viewpoint of the Club, should be ac-
cepted as fair but there seems to be
nothing doing so far as Uncle Sam is
concerned. The bids are too high and
it will now be necessary to proceed
along some other line. Having done
so much work the Club is not going
to back down until every resource has
been exhausted.
Then there is some work to be
done with reference to the Willow
creek and Monument roads. The COM
mittee on the Willow creek road de-
sire to submit their report and get
further instructions.
In all these you are interested, so
be on hand tomorrow night and show
your interest by your presence.

SERIl Us AUTO ACCIDENT
OCCURS NEAR HEPPNER
Car of j. c. Owen Goes Over Bank
And Several Passengers Hurt.

The Ford car driven by ]. C. Owen,
who has the mail contract on the
Heppner- -Hardman route. turned
complete summersault and landed
right side up after spilling its occu-
pants on the grade coming into town
just at the north side Of L. E. Bis
bees place late Friday evening.
There were in the car, besides Mr.
Owen, Mr.. and Mrs. A. 2. Barnard,
of this city. Mr.. Anderson Barnard
and grandchild, Bernice Franklin.
Mr. Owen was making his third
round-trip to Hardman and back and
reached the city limits of Heppner
shortly after nine O'Clock at night.
His lights on the car had run down
pretty low but he lad been able to
keep the road all right until he came
up over the hill and faced the city
lights which seemed to have the eff
feet of binding his vision of the road.
He had been over the road so much,
however, that he felt sure he was
familiar with the track, and slowed
down to about four miles an hour.
At the time the car went over, Mr..
Owen was sure that he was on the
road all right. He was at the point
just where the road divides near the
Bisbee corner, and where the bank
is pretty steep and the car rolled
over from the upper grade, landing
on its wheels in the track below, do
ing no other damage to the machine
than the breaking of the wind shield
and mashing of the radiator.
The occupants did not fare so well,
however. but fortunately they all es-
capped dangerous injuries. Mrs. Bar
nard and the little girl came out
with bruises and scratches from
which they soon recovered. Mr.. Bar
nard and his uncle each received very
severe injuries and for time it was
thought that both the men had been
fatally hurt. Help was summoned
from town just as soon as possible
and medical assistance called. The
men have been laid up under the care
of physician since but they are i'm
proving and will soon be about again.
Mr.. Anderson Barnard Is an uncle
Of A. q. and is on visit here from
Missouri. He is ~ years of age and
on this account his recovery has been
slow. Bernice Franklin, his grand
daughter, is the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Jas. Franklin, of Cecil.
Mr.. Owen regrets the accident very
much. He got out with bruised
head and feels fortunate in this re-
spect. No blame is attached to him
as he used his best efforts to prevent
any mishap on the trip; 1t was simp-
ly one of those unfortunate and un-
forseen occurrences that will happen,
and we are all thankful that it was
no more serious in its results.

Game Birds Are
Liberated Here

This week the State Game Warden
has liberated on Willow creek some
three dozen Chinese pheasants which
adds to the slowly increasing number
of these birds in this section. For a
good many years past there has been
an endeavor to get game birds plant
ed In this county, and while climatic
conditions and everything else would
seems to be conducive to their rapid
propagation, yet the progress is slow.

Tested by the so-called sportsman who
is always willing to kill anything that
comes to sight. Attention is called
to the fact that the penalty for kill
ing these birds is fine of $50 and it
is the intention of the Heppner Rod
and Gun Club to see that the law is
rigidly enforced. If the birds are let
alone for few seasons they will be-
come plentiful here.

est, showing the roads, trails, tele-
phone lines. etc., and with directions

Grass Fire Creates Excitement.

Some little excitement was Great
ed in town on Tuesday forenoon by
the report sent in of big grass fire
at the Stanfeld place on upper Rhea
creek. Several auto loads of men
were Immediately gathered together
and went out. Upon reaching the
place, however, it was found that the
fire had exhausted itself when 1t
reached the rim rocks, and no SER

for time that the fire would get into
the timber in that vicinity and cause
a lot of damage. The grass is very
dry now and people should use all
precautions to prevent fires from
