ADVANCE IN WHEAT
 HELPS BUSINESS
Dun's Says Strength of the Financial Situation In-
 creases Daily

New York, February 5--Duns will say tomorrow.
 The great advance in the price of wheat due primarily to the urgent world de- mand. is enrching the agriculturists of the west and Is contributing to increased commercial prosperity in that section, though the violence of the movement pro- duoes some concern as to it's other ef- feets. The recent rise in cotton, with ex- pansion of exports, has reduced in eon- siderable degree the sharp depression in the south, caused by the war. The strength Of the financial situation in ereases every day and this imparts a sense of security and courage to enter prise every where.
 Bank exchanges for the week were E. ele, 449,i4e. a decrease of 1s,5 per cent from last year.
 Wheat exports were 7,e26.5ii as com pared with 2,77s,SS2 last year.
 Failures for the week in the United States were 596 against S72 a year ago. in Canada g against the same number last year.

NEW ROAD WILL
SHORTEN DISTANCE
Highway From Heppner Up Left
Side of Willow Creek Has Been
Surveyed To Hager
Bridge.

A new road out of Heppner up
Willow creek, which was surveyed
this week by County Surveyor, 10y
Turner, will diminish the distance
between this city and the Hager
bridge from an eight to quarter of
a mile. Besides, it will put the road
where it belongs, say those who are
petitioning for the change. The pc
tition is now being circulated, and it
is probable that active work on the
new road will commence as early as
March. The survey makes for an
easy grade all the way, and the road
will have a solid foundation due to
soil formation. This is something
that the present road does not have
All the farmers up Willow creek
are very keen for the new road, it is
understood, since it will eliminate
any hard, short pulls. sharp curves
and bridges. C. A. Minor was first
to take up the agitation for the new
highwak, but the proposed change is
being heartily endorsed by everyone
in the district.

HERMISTON AND HEPP-
NER CLASH TOMORROW
Turner and Jones, Stars of Other
Days May Be Seen in Uniform
Once More.

The Heppner basket ball team
will play its third game of the sea-
son tomorrow night, when the local
quintet will clash with the fast Her.
miston team. Hermiston has met
some of the best teams in Eastern
Oregon already this year, and by
their experience in past games, have
lecome a seasoned bunch of basket
shooters.
Heppner will feel keenly the loss
of Morgan at center. Harry is con-
fined to his home at present, and the
doctor will not permit him to enter
the contest tomorrow night Hughes
of the high school, will probably
play in the center position. leager,
who has been doing excellent work
at guard, is out of town and it is
doubtful if he will return in time for
the Hermiston game. Alva Jones,
who played with the high school team
of several years ago, and later with
class teams at the Oregon Agricultur-
al College, has been turning out for
practice and will, in all probability,
fill a guard position. 10y Turner is
another old star who is becoming in
terested in the great indoor game and
he will take part in the fray with the
Irrigationists. Hiatt and Crawford
will play in their usual positions as
forwards. The game will start at s
o'clock sharp, in order not to inter-
fere with the Library benefit dance.

IustalIs Chopping Machine.

A. f. Johnson, farmer and alfalfa
raiser of lone, this week installed a
new alfalfa chopper and grinder
which he purchased through the firm
of Engleman & Miller. The machine
is run by six-horse gasoline engine
and is one of the latest designs in
this class of machinery. With the
alfalfa that the machine chops up is
placed a portion of grain that is
ground in the machine. This ration
is used to feed hogs and is pro-
nounced success. After being
soaked in water for time the food
is ready for the porkers and it pos
sesses large fattening qualities. This
method of preparing hogs for the
market is proving quite popular just
now when grain is so high, and a
number of the farmers along Willow
creek are using it.

PIG Is AFFLICTED
WITH HYDROPHOBIA
Animal on Frank Turner Ranch
Shows Signs of Terrible Malady
And Is Killed.

Another case of hydrophobia was
reported Tuesday, when Frank Tur-
ner, who resides II miles northeast
of Heppner, killed a pig, which had
shown symptoms of the disease. Mr..
Turner has sent the carcass to Port
land for an examination to determine
the exact state of the malady. 1t is
thought that the pig was bitten by a
coyote, as several of these animals
had been banging around close and
acting queerly.
DR., McMurdo states that any an
imal might be afflicted with this dis
ease at this time of the year and not
show symptoms for two or three
months after being bitten. Under
normal conditions, symptoms are
shown in eight days.
Reports come in every day from
some part of the Northwest, telling
of the ravages of coyotes mad with
the rabies, or of dog similarly
affected, but the above is the first
case we have heard Of in which pig
is the victim.

Road Master Assumes Duties.

Road Master, j. B. Cu,ick, recent
ly appointed by the County Court,
has assumed his duties and this week
has been going over the several road
districts in the north end of the coun-
ty, getting acquainted with the su-
pervisors and with them working out
some of his plans for improving the
roads. He will make a similar visit
the coming week to the south end of
the county. Mr.. Culick is a man of
many years experience along these
lines, and in talking with him we are
fully convinced that he is the right
man for the job He will urge much
work being done at once, especially
in the districts where the soil is light,
as he feels that sufficient moisture
has already fallen to insure good re-
suits. There will be little use in
working these roads later in the sea-
son, when there can be no result ex-
cept dust. With the means at hand
Mr.. Culick will endeavor to demon
strate that some good roads can be
made in each district, and he will
also work to get the support and CO.
operation of the residents of the va
rous districts to the end that even
more good work can be done than
what the funds in hand would ac-
complish.

A Pleasant Surprise.

(Arrived too late for last week.
The home of Mr.. and Mrs. Herbert
Olden was the scene of a most enjoy
able party on Thursday evening, Jan
q, when about sixty of their friends
came in a body to take possession of
their home and nothing had been
spared in making the occasion one
long to be remembered.
When the evening chores were fin
ished and when each member of the
Olden family had settled themselves
with book or paper the sound of
autos and rigs was heard. 1t was
then that it dawned on the family
what had happened to the telephone
early in the morning-someone had
cut the wires.
The people of this neighborhood
know just how to carry out success
fully a surprise. They had brought
bountiful supper of all the choice
and dainty things to eat. Especially
fine were the great number of cakes.
Mrs. Olden dug up the big harvest
coffee pot and made coffee which was
served with whipped cream. The
supper was served about midnight,
which was greatly enjoyed by all.
The games continued until about two
o'clock. The most sensational game
of the evening was the balloon as
cension. Everyone present, both
young and old took trip in the ba-
loon. Charles Huston and Herbert
Olden made the most successful trips.
both going over six thousand feet
high and landing safely.
Good music was furnished by Mrs.
Give Huston, Mrs. Mabel French
Mrs. Charles Huston, Miss Mabel
Wood and Walter Dobyns. A splen-
did vocal solo by William Corbett
was much appreciated.
Such pleasant evenings as this one
make life worth while and Mr.. and
Mrs. Olden were pleased to welcome
the party of friends and neighbors to
their home and hope they will come
again.
Those present besides Mr.. and Mrs.
Herbert Olden, the Dobyns boys and
Miss Mabel Woods, were Mr.. and

OREGON PROGRAM
IS An INNOVATION
Students of High School Laud Native
State in Program Replete
With Indian Legends and
Later Historical Facts.

An "OregCn" program was pre-
sented by the high school literary So
ciety last night before an apprecia-
tive audience, which filled the large
room to the doorways. An introduce
tory speech by the president, Harley
Adkins, of the society, explained that
the program was one entirely new
and different from anything attempt
ed in the past. The idea of present
ing an "Oregon" program was first
advanced by Miss Grace Van Vactor
and she was aided in working it out
by Miss Schwittay, of the faculty.
The acquiring of the vast Oregon
territory, incidents of historical ma
ture relative to the settling of that
territory and finally the creation of
the state of Oregon, was told in we'll
chosen words by Loren Mikesell.
Next was an Indian campfire scene,
the stage having been set for the oc-
casion, with fir trees and wigwams.
All the participants were dressed in
true Indian fashion. Legends of the
first American" in the Northwest
were told of, and after each legend,
mighty war whoop was given. The
principals of this scene were Anna
Howard, David Wilson, Hannah Will
son, Neva Hayes and Drain Wright.
Indian songs and the distant echo,
and later the dance, were features of
this scene.
The next part Of the program open
ed with Althea Devin depicting the
pioneer woman She told of the
hardships endured while crossing the
plains, of the Indian attacks and the
building of home in new country.
Garnet Barrett told of the topograph-
ical history of Oregon. The oratori-
cal feature of the evening arrived
when Grace Van Vactor lauded the
mountains and rivers" of Oregon in
we'll chosen words. Her work was
loudly applauded. Earl Gordon pre-
senteG the early history of the i'm
portray c'sies Of Oregon, Heppner be-
ing included. Henry Peterson spoke
of the unlimited resources of a prac-
tically ,undeveloped state. His speech
indicated careful study and much re-
search work on his part
The evenings entertainment was
closed with a song Oregon, my Ore
gon," a tableau scene THE Coming
of the White Man. and the singing
