SANTANELLL, MACI-
Clan IS COMING

The Santanelli company that comes
to the Star theater next Sunday is an
organization of unusual merit.
Mr.. Santanelli is a magician men
toned with Herman the Great and
Kellar, and as a hypnotist has never
had an ekual. He thoroughly under
stands and cleyerly handles the art of
suggestion that it is not necessary to
resort to brutal or humiliating meth
DDS to keep the audience in convul-
sions of laughter. His fun is all
clean fun.
Miss Marjorie Burke gives series
of shadowgraphs that are entertain
ing and humorous. She is conceded
to be the cleverest delineator of digi-
tation before the public.
The company played a return en-
gagement at the Heilig theater in
Portland and is now on its way East.
Manager Sparks is to be congratulate
ed upon securing them.

NEW SYSTEM OF IRRIGATION WILL Be
USED BY INDUSTRIAL CLUB STUDENTS

While County Superintendent of
Sthools, s. E. Notson, has been out
over tie county visiting the various
schools ne has found that the major
ity of the pupils are thoroughly alive
to the possibilities of agriculture as
outlined by the state college in the
Industrial Club work. Many of the
pupils have already started making
their gardens with view of having
some stuff to exhibit at the county
fair this fall.
Mr. Notson has told the pupils OF
the remarkable growth attained by
a Texas boy, who by taking ordinary
tin cans, with one end open and 4
very small hole punched in the other
end, has raised any amount of gar
den stuff and of excellent quality,
through sub-irrigation process. The
boy places the cans about IA inches
apart between rows, in place of the
ditch. He then manages to keep the
cans pretty well filled with water. By

John H. Mcclure Dies.

John H. Mcclure, pioneer of Lane
county, died suddenly at his home in
Yoncalla Monday at the age of 70
years. Neighbors failed to see him
about the place as usual and went to
inquire about him. He was sitting in
his chair in front of the fire, evidently
having just prepared for bed the
night before, and was covering the
fire when, judging from appearances,
he passed into sleep from which he
never walked. His hands were still
clasped over his knee when the body
was found, the fire poker being held
upright between his knee and hands
1t is thought that death occurred
about nine o'clock Sunday evening.
Mr.. Mcclure was a pioneer of 1858
coming TO Lane county with his par
ents, James F. and Nancy "A. Nc
Clure, settling on donation claim
near Irving. He had lived at Yon-
calla for a number Of years, his wife
being buried there about 80 years
ago. He was a member of the Chris
tian church.--Eugene Register.
He also leaves one brother, j. A

sisters, Mrs. w. l.. Houston of Port

CITY Of HEPPNER
INVOLVED IN SUIT
Robert Dexter Refuses to Remove
Fence From Across Street and
Council Takes Action.-Street
Long Used as Such.

The city of Heppner this week
filed suit against Robert Dexter for
the removal of fence which Dexter
has built across a certain street in
south Heppner. After the street had
been used by the city for II years,
citizens were amazed one morning
when they awoke to find the street
fenced in. Mr. Dexter was demanded
to take the barrier down, but he
paid no attention to the commands
of the city officials and now the suit
has resulted. The city does not hold
a deed to the property through which
the street runs, and Dexter still
claims it. This in spite of the fact
that for dozen years tile street has
been open to the travelling public.
The street has never been dedicated,
but is really part of Court street,
being generally referred to as such
a street. Mrs. Mary Wherry, Cecil
Humphrey, D. Cox, c. G. Patterson
and Robert Dexter are the principal
property owners whose land borders
on the street, and in most instances
the street is the only access they have
to their homes without considerable
difficulty.
The city council at their regular
meeting on Monday evening also
passed the dog muzzling ordinance
and allowed the regular bills. The
matter Of oiling the streets was not
taken up at this time.

CHILD DIES FROM
EFFECTS OF BURNS

Loren Wesley Hayes, the 49,
months-old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Glenn Hayes, died at the Heppner
Sanatorium Monday evening from
the effects of severe burns which he
received a few hours earlier in the
day at the Hayes ranch south of this
city.
The child was upstairs in the
Hayes home, in bed and presumably
asleep. His parents were out near
the barn and upon having their at
tention drawn toward the house by
screams from the baby they could
plainly see flames in the room where
the baby had been sleeping. Both
parents rushed frantically to the
house and into the bed room. The
baby had managed in some manner
to get from the bed and onto the
floor. In her effort to rescue her
baby from the flames, Mrs. Hayes
was severely burned on the arms.
The child was brought into the hos
pital as quick as possible and every
thing was done to relieve its suf-
fering and bring the little one safely
through the ordeal, but the fire had
burned through the clothing and
badly burned the boy about the
body and neck. He died Monday
evening about s O'Clock.
The funeral was held from the
home of George Stevenson in this
city on Tuesday afternoon, Rev. t. B.
Mcdonald of the First Christian
Church having charge of the services.
Interment was made in the Masonic
cemetery. The sympathies of the en-
tire community are extended to Mr..
and Mrs. Hays in this sad hour.

JAMES KYLE WOULD
ENCOURAGE CAPITAL

Encourage capital; regulate
should it become oppressive" is the
opening statement of James M. Kyle,
mayor of Stanfeld, IN his platform
announcing his candidacy for the re-
publican nomination to the office Of
public service commissioner. In re-
gard to Mr.. Kyles candidacy, E. E..
Brodie, editor of the Oregon City En-
terprise and president of the Oregon
State Editorial Association, says the
following:
James M. Kyle, mayor of Stanfield,
Umatilla county, Oregon, has an
nounced himself as candidate for
the Office of public service commits
sioner for the eastern Oregon district,
compromising the counties east OF
the Cascade mountains. Mr.. Kyle has
resided in Umatilla county for num-
Der of years and is prominently iden-
titled with the farming and fruit
growing interests in the neighbor-
hood of Stanfield.
He has been mayor of the city of
Stanfeld for several successive terms.
The slogan of Mr.. Kyle is Encourage
Capital; Regulate, Should 1t Become
Oppressive" This is one Of the most
comprehensive and progressive slo-
gans of the campaign. The state of
Oregon, and the eastern part in par
ticular, always has been and now is
suffering for the want Of capital to
develop it's manifold resources, par
ticularly in the line Of irrigation and
railroad construction.
Heretofore there has been too
much of tendency in Oregon to an
tagonize money, especially such as
has been invested in corporations of
various kinds. Mr.. Kyle is in favor
of inviting money to come here for
all legitimate enterprises, but at the
same time stands ready to properly
regulate the same under the law,
should it in any manner become op-
pressive.
| The general cooperation of all in
terests along the line advocated by
Mr.. Kyle will lead to great develop
ment in this state, and he is entitled
to the thanks of the people for being
a pioneer in announcing broad
guaged policy such as this.

keeping the surface we'll mulched and
the cans filled, the process of irriga-
tion goes on and excellent results a,
obtained. This boy lived on ranch
where water was scarce, bs.s he util-
lied every drop of what otherwise
would have been waste water, even
carrying out the wash water from
the house to his irrigating store
houses, the little cans.
pne boy near Cecil has attained
gobd results from gardening on dry
land without any water. This year
he8intends to lay off half his garden
un1er the tin can system and the
lsctaaa half under entirely dry con
ditions. He believes in little ex-
lperimenting and since he is not afraid
to work it is safe to say he will be
amply rewarded for his efforts. Su-
perintendent Notson is very much
gratified over the interest which all
pupils are manifesting in the Indus
trial Club work.

The Recent Baseball Game.

The first game of the Interschol-
astic League series of baseball was
played at lone last Saturday. There
were good many errors on both
sides, but as this is the first game,
they hope to improve, The Heppner
boys showed lack of team work, and
a good many laughable stunts were
played at regular intervals Nc
Intyre and Cox, playing right and
center field, showed the Ioneites a
few stunts in basketball by chasing
the ball down in deep center field
and bringing it home on a series of
short passes. Peterson, who pitched
the first five innings for Heppner,
was in poor condition and really re-
ceived little support from his team
mates. Score was II to 5 in favor
of lone.
The next game will be on April
Sth at the Heppner depot grounds.
The Heppner boys are out for re-
venge. Come and inspire them by
your presence. General admission
25 cents.

so loud that the algebra class could
