er Prices.

Top prices were paid for wheat in
Heppner last week but comparatively
few sold. In fact the local market
was stronger than it was in neighbor-
ing counties. While $1.12h was be-
ing offered here, $1.0S was the high
est paid in Sherman county.
Very little of the 1915 crop has yet
been sold by the contract method in
Heppner, although large number in
the lone country have contracted
part of their crop. None of it has yet
been bought for less than dollar per
bushel.
Those who sold here last week at
S1.12R were Harvey Young and Jess
Goats of Eight Mile. They each sold
1000 sacks at that price.
During the present week the mar
ket has been off little and no wheat
has been sold in Heppner. Present in
dications are for a stronger market
and in few days buying will proba-
bly, be resumed with vim. Today's
quotation in Heppner on bluestem is

BIG STRIKE WILL PRO.
BADLY Be AvERTEO

Each side in the big railroad con-
troversy, which has caused a threat
ening cloud to hang over the indus
trial horizon of the country for many
weeks, has agreed to submit PROPOSE
tions to the other.
The conference which has been
carried on the past few days before
President Wilson has not yet result
ed in anything definite. The railroads
are said to be willing to submit to
the eight-hour day asked for by the
brotherhoods but it is the overtime
proposition which they fear most to
meet. According to the statement
of railroad officials there is scarcely
freight run in the entire country
which could cover a run in hours.
Thus the time and half which
they would be forced to meet would
run into the millions of dollars.
1t is understood that the two sides
are now nearer to settlement than
at any previous time.

Cupid can feel that it was a case
of his labors lost in the case Of Henry
Bode and his wife, Arminda Sayles
Bode. The nuptial knot was tied
only a little more than week ago
and now Mrs. Bode has decided the
short courtship and hasty marriage
was a piece of hastiness on the part
Of Dan Cupid, or at least this is pro-
badly her own conclusion. At any
rate Mrs. Bode packed up all her be-
longings and returned to her former
home this week. Mr.. Bode, for so
young groom. does not feel at all
disconsolate, but feels that it is pro-
badly better as It is. He has strong
hopes for the future.

FORD DEMAND GREAT.
Err THAN The SUPPLY

That the demand for Ford cars Is
too great for the supply is the sub
stance of statement made by Chas.
Vaughn of Vaughn & Sons, local Ford
agents. Mr.. Vaughn states they have
orders for Fords now that they are
unable to fill simply because they are
unable to get the cars here at this
time.
The present shortage 1t attributed
to the $50 reduction in price recently
made by the Ford company. This re-
duction has served to greatly increase
sales and the distributing agencies
have run short of cars as a conse-
Quence.

LARGE. CROWD GREETs
JOLLY entertainers

Daddy" Draper and his Jolly En-
tertainers have been to town and ev-
eryone who attended their shows, if
shows they might be called, are much
happier and have been strengthened
in their belief that this old world is
not all bad after all. This bunch
surely deserve the title of Jolly En-
tertainers for their power to both en-
tertain and amuse is almost unlimit-
ed.
In telling of his home at Des
Moines, Wash, Mr.. Draper said that
he and Mrs. Draper have adopted
many of the children they have un-
der their care and have gathered the
little folks around them in happy
family. Each child is learning some
hing useful and the home is made en-
tirely self-supporting through their
efforts. Every summer they tour the
country presenting their entertain
ments and everywhere they meet with
the best success. In musical way
the children are surprising and they
more than deserved the many words
Of praise which local people have CIV
en- them. Their appearance on the
stage almost makes one forget they
are only children, so easily do they
perform.
The children made many friends
while in town, and all of them were
invited to partake of the hospitality
of our people.
Mr.. Draper has the sincere thanks
Of this community for bringing his
troupe here and we all wish him to
return.

BLUE TRAIL TOBEEX.
PLONEDBYHEPPNER
Famous Highway Is Not Receiving
Recognition 1t Deserves Is Opin-
ion of Heppner Business Men.
Effort to be Made to Direct
Travel This Way.

The Blue Trail, the best route of
the National Highway through this
section of Eastern Oregon has been
passed up by the general travelling
public, that great body of auto tour
lists and so far as Heppner is con-
cerned, very little of the main travel
has come this way.
The chief reason advanced for this
Is that the lower or Echo route is a
few miles shorter. Secondly, bad re-
ports have gone out concerning the
condition of the Heppner-Pilot Rock
road. There can be no doubt
that part of the report was true. Ev-
cry one acknowledges, who has been
over the route, that the Hog Hollow
road is in a poor condition. This is
a case of hard luck more than any
thing else for early in the year con-
siderable work was expended in put
ting that part of the road in good
shape Later the washouts occurred
and since then no doubt Hog Hollow
has presented sorry appearance.
On the other hand, since the dry
weather arrived, the Echo road in the
lower Butter creek section has be-
come badly cut up. As consequence
the past few weeks have seen big
increase in travel over the upper
route. Many people contend that the
upper route is better any time than
the lower. We know 1t to be a fact in
the winter time.
Recently many Blue Trail signs
have been prepared with view Of
better directing travel over this route
Some of the local business men have
outlined trip which will extend as
far East as La Grande and as far
West as Waaco. At this time they
will thoroughly inspect the Blue
Trail, learn more Of its good and bad
points and be better prepared to ex-
ploit this highway for tourist travel.
