PRESCOTT-The contract for the construction work on Yavapai's new court house has been awarded Ro- gers and Ashton of Denver for $780, 1000. When the bids were first opened it was found that all were in excess of the amount available under the bond issue, and the supervisors found it necessary to go over the specified tions and strike out equipment not absolutely necessary. The contract with Rogers & Ashton covers only the construction work.

A fire in the rear end of the Borg
building on Main street Tuesday eve
ming which would have resulted dis
astrously had it not been discovered
in the nick of time, caused some lit
tie damage to the personal effects of
Richard Davis, a colored man. Mr..
Davis had just moved into the build
ing. About 7 o'clock in the evening
he made fire in sheet iron stove
in his room, put in several large
pieces of coal and went off to the
theater where he was leading man
in a hypnotizing contest. The stove
was apparently only six inches from
the wall and after becoming red hot,
the wall paper was ignited. Glenn
Wells, who was in his law office in
the front of the building, had his at
tention first attracted by cracking
sound and upon investigation discov-
cred the blaze. He at once turned in
the alarm, but in the meantime with
two buckets of water subdued the
fire. Mr.. Davis lost three suits of
clothes as a result of the conflagra-
ton. He carried no insurance.

Mr.. Hughes Improving.

A letter was received from Thomas
Hughes in his own handwriting. This
is his second attempt to write since
he took sick. He states that all he
has to do is to eat and sleep. If you
cant eat or aren't hungry they choke
it down you. We naturally suppose
Tom is getting fat. He doesn't like
it because lone beat Heppner in the
first baseball game. Maybe if he
had been here it would not have hap
pened. The doctors took an X-Ray
picture of his lungs last week. They
say his left lung is perfectly clear,
but didn't say as to the right lung.
They give him gas twice week and
will soon have his right lung col
lapsed These few lines from Mr..
Hughes were a source Of pleasure to
the school.

CANADIANS ARE ON
LOOKOUT FOR SPIES
W, p, Leach OF Hardman Receives a
Letter From Brother Who Tells of
Efforts Being Made by England
to Enlist Recruits. - War
Prices There Also.

w. P. Leach of Hardman has re-
ceived letter from his brother Gro
yer, who is now in Winnepeg, Can
ada. Mr.. Leach describes conditions
there and tells of the suspicion with
which all strangers coming into that
country are now looked upon. We
print the letter herewith in part:
Dear Brother Wilt arrived
here yesterday from the west coast
via Prince Rupert over the Grand
Trunk railroad; was one solid week
on the road so was glad to get off
the train. l think l will go to work
for the Canadian Northern railroad
as | have made out the application
blanks. l expect to go out tomorrow
or the day after on run to the east
coast. 1t takes me a week to make
the trip and l don't know yet how |
will like it.
"There is a big graft up here in
everything you take up and you have
to come through ever so often to hold
your own.
There are soldiers everywhere up
here and the streets are crowded
with them. One is reminded at all
times that this country is at war and
that England expects every man to
do his duty. Posters reading like
Dad is on the firing line, what
are you doing?' are stuck up in ev-
cry imaginable place and it is anus
ing to read some the them. No two
are alike.
81 have been followed by detec-
tive from the moment l stepped from
the train. He has room next to
mine in this hotel and takes his
meals at the same table and when l
go out for walk he is right there.
While I am writing this letter he is
watching me from desk across the
room. 1t makes a fellow feel like a
second Jesse James, but they watch
all strangers from outside countries
the same way, l am told"

Luminary Star.

The Heppner High school ball toss
ers won the second game of the In
terscholastic series at the depot
grounds in this city Saturday after
mon by the one-sided score of IS to
a, The final count would have, no
doubt, been different had the Egg
City stickers been able to connect
with Emmett Hughes now famous
"mush ball" 1t is the regular old
time splitter, On the other hand, the
local batters fell heavily against the
slow curves of Fat" Blake and the
results on more than one occasion
were the BASES full and none down.
The lone boys made many costly
errors. In the seventh inning Blake
in the box exchanged places with
Pennington as catcher and the change
proved a temporary relief but didn't
help the lone players in connecting
with the ball. Hughes for Heppner
was plainly the star of the game.
striking out 23 of the lone batters.
Hughes uses a spit ball which is very
battling and he uses world of speed.
Saturday was the first time in which
he attempted to pitch an entire game.
His first experience was at lone a
week ago when he went in for three
inings to relieve Peterson.
The last game of the Interscholas-
tic series will be played in lone Sat
urday. The season was rushed
through in hurry this year in order
that the track season could be prop
erly taken care of. The two teams

days contest will prove the cham
pionship for the 1916 season.

their cash business put every dollar
of it through their cash tills each
year, taking their toll from it as it
passes through.
In 1880 every man, woman and
child in the United States paid, in
railroad transportation tolls, the av-
erage sum of S11.57, in 1913 it was
1920, while for Oregon it was about
$4,000.
Rates in Oregon range about l u
to 10 times higher than was charged
on the first primitive railroad operat-
ed by steam and opened to public
traffic.
Grain and -four, for a 25-mile haul
on the primitive railroad, was 75c
per ton, on the O.-W. r. G. N. it is
$1.2O, while on the S. V. R'y it is
$3.50
All merchandise L. c. L. shipments
on the primitive was SIPS, on the
O.-W. R. & N. it is $S.13 and on the
S. V. R'y, $13.23.
Engineer hire, to produce a like
amount of tonnage, cost the primi-
tive road seventeen times the mod
ern cost.
With an increasing population, in
creasing tonnage, and decreasing
cost of tonnage movement, rates
should be reduced but instead they
are increased higher and higher, un-
til the peoples life blood is being
drained to exhaustion through the
vein of transportation taxation. This
shows the need of regulation by one
who knows, and pride for any local
candidates should be a secondary
consideration to fitness for the place.

as an expert accountant, sixteen
years of a successful Manufacturing
and Wholesale business career, and
eight years in the study and prac-
tice of law almost exclusively on the
subject of Railroad Rate Regulation,

/ should like to represent the
masses one term.
My slogan on the primary ballot
is: Regulate, give a fair return on
honest capital, nothing on watered
stock"

TINE To PAINT
Up AND CLEAN UP
Child Welfare Exhibit in November.
Cemetery VIII be Improved.
j. l.. wilkins Resigns
From Presidency.

The Oregon Child Welfare Com
mission will be in Heppner with their
travelling exhibit next November on
the 25th. This was the announce
ment made by Secretary Smead of
the Heppner Commercial Club at the
regular meeting on Monday evening.
Mr.. Smead has been corresponding
with the Commission and an attempt
was first made to nave the exhibit
here for the county fair in Septem-
Der, but inasmuch as this date had al
ready been filled, he was advised by
Mrs. Robert II. Tate, of Portland,
president of the commission that
later date was possible and November
25th has been agreed upon. The ex-
hibit will be sent to fifty cities in the
state, beginning some time this
month.
A communication from the Port
land Chamber of Commerce was read
which asked the local club to take
some action with other commercitl
bodies of the state to prevent the
pending railroad strike. The local
club drew up set of resolutions ask
ing the railroad employees to submit
to arbitration.
The club recommended to the City
council of Heppner that the 25th day
of April be set aside as general
cleanup day. The recommendations
will be placed before the council at
their next regular meeting. Many
cities and towns the entire country
over have inaugurated an annual
cleanup and paint-up day and the
result has been the transformation
of these places from dirt and filth
into cities of health and beauty.
Heppner has been observing this day
the past few years with noticeable
results.
Robert E. Smith of Roseburg spoke
on taxation and the value in having
an organized taxpayers league, lip
on his suggestion, committee has
been appointed which will be known
as the taxation committee and they
will take up all matters pertaining
to taxes hereafter
A committee was also appointed
which will have for its object the i'm
provement and beautifying Of the Ma
sonic cemetery grounds. 1t is proba-
BILE that someone will be hired to
look after the lots and assessment
will be made to the owners Of the
lots. This system is one that is fol-
lowed in many places and appears to
be the best method of taking care of
the cemeteries.
At the conclusion of the meeting,
president j. l.. wilkins handed in his
resignation which was duly accepted
by the club. Mr.. Wilkins gave as his
reason for resigning that business
men in the town do not take sufficient
interest in the club. His successor
will be chosen at the next regular
meeting.

ROBT. SERVICE STANDS
FOR COMMON PEOPLE

Robert Service of Baker, who is a
candidate for public service commits
sioner at the coming primary cleo
tion, was in Heppner this week in the
interests of his candidacy. While
here he made the following statement
which pretty clearly outlines his plat
form and his qualifications for the
office:
In coming out for this important
Office / do so conscious of the fact
that it is to the common people alone
that | must look for my election, il
at all, for have hammered the rail-
roads too often when they were
wrong to expect their support.
The railroads are entitled to and
should be given a square DEAL"
they also should be required to con-
duct the business honestly, without
discrimination and at reasonable
rates.
They should be required to give
their exclusive attention to the bus
mess for which they were chartered
instead of expending huge sums, as
operating expenses, in undertaking
the moulding of public opinion
through publicity departments, the
conduct of legislation and the man
ipulation of elections
High official salaries should be lin
tied to the value of the service rem
dered.
They should be permitted to earn
a reasonable net return upon their
judiciously expended actual invest
ment, but no interest should be paid
on watered stocks and bonds, for
such fictitious liabilities have no
