BANKS REFLECT PROSPERITY NOW
ABOUNDING IN MORROW COUNTY

That there is prosperity abound
ing in Morrow county, is reflected in
the showing made by the banking
institutions doing business here.
During the last two weeks, the
First National Bank of Heppner has
passed the million dollar mark in the
amount of business handled. De-
posits in that length of time have in
creased $250,000. Likewise have
the deposits of the Heppner Loan
and Savings Bank and the Bank of
lone increased by leaps and bounds.
1t is the result of few wheat sales
which recently took place. Some
arge sales have been effected but pro-
badly the biggest check thus far is
sued to a single man for wheat, was
C. B. Sperry, lone wheat buyer, to
w. H. Padberg, of Clarks Caynon.
The check was for $4,000 Mr.. Pad
berg has not yet disposed of all his
wheat either.
During the past few days there has
been no market for wheat, owing to
the furry caused in shipping through
the sinking of merchant vessels by
the German submarines.
In spite of the fact that the entire
wheat crop of the United States is
100000 bushels short this year,
local conditions were never more
prosperous. Better homes in which
to live and a more contented spirit
which will be brought through more
Of the luxuries of life will be the re-
suit of the biggest wheat harvest the
county has ever known. One excep-
tionally good year will go far to-
ward making the future years more
successful.

at first sight. During the remainder
of the Roundup there was none so
attentive to the fair ruler as the lone
c6urtier, and, after he had returned
home. he overcame the handicap of
distance by means of the automobile
and the telephone.
Sunday morning Miss Sailing left
Pendieton in the Dan Smythe auto
with a party of friends for Heppner.
They were met on the way by young
Cr)nan, who accompanied them back.
He had already secured license and
made other preparations for a we'd
ding The time and the place had
been arranged and all that remained
was to overcome certain objections of
the girl to such an abrupt culmina-
tion of their romance. In the end he
prevailed and last evening at 1880 at
St. Patricks rectory, Heppner, he
claimed her as his bride, Rev. Father
P, j. O'Rourke performing the cere-
mony. Only few friends were wit
Inesses.
Immediately after the ceremony
the news was broken to the brides
parents in this city over the tele-
phone, and the young couple follow
ed up their message by auto to re-
ceive the parental blessing.
The news of their wedding spread
lover the city this morning, OCCASION
ing a mild sensation because of the
unexpectedness of it, and the bridal
couple have been showered with con-
gratulations all day.
They expect to make their future
home in lone where Mr.. Cronan has
position in the bank owned by his
father Joseph E. Cronan, prominent
Portland resident. The bride may re-
main here for time to assist her
father, County Clerk Frank Sailing.
until he can fill her position of chief
deputy. They plan to take a honey
moon trip to San Francisco where Mr..
CrOnan has a sister.

In this city Monday evening, Frank
E. Cronan of lone and Miss Muriel
Sailing, late queen of the Pendleton
Roundup, were married at st. Pat.
ricks rectory by the Rev. Father P
]. O'Rourke. All circumstances sur,
rounding this romance which came
to such sudden climax, were kept SC
quiet that even the closest friends OF
/ the young people were in total igno-
rance of the affair until after the
ceremony had been performed and
Mr.. and Mrs. Cronan had left the
city for Pendleton. Following is an
account of the romance which appear
ed in the Tuesday edition of the Pen
dleton East Oregonian:
And they lived happily ever aft
erward"
That is all that remains to be writ
ten of the romance of Miss Muriel
Sailing, twice queen of the Pendleton
Roundup, Queen of the Portland
Rose Festival, Queen of the Columbia
Highway and Queen of the Astoria
Regatta, who last evening became
Mrs. Frank E. Cronan, all because
she has been so very much queen.
Quite without the knowledge of
family or friends she was quietly mar
ried last evening at Heppner to a
young lone banker who had first seen
her when she ruled over Rosario, who
first met her when she was queen Of
the Roundup and who had wooed
her ever since with an impetuosity
that would not be denied.
The young husband of the festival
queen is brother of ]. E. Cronan of
Portland, who acted as admiral of
the Astoria Regatta over which the
Pendleton girl ruled. 1t was this cir
cumstance that the younger brother

B. Sperry picked up bunch of wheat
this week from Billy Padherg, of Lex
ington and handed over check in
payment therefor of just little less
than $4,000. In the deal was about
IA, 200 sacks Of bluestem which Mr..
Padberg had already delivered at the
warehouse in Lexington, and some
1000 sacks more of the l.. j. PadbSrg
bluestem was picked up at Jordan,
which drew down about $4,000 ad-
ditional so We are informed. If Bill
lie could have had all his wheat down
to the station his check would have
been close on to as much more had he
chosen to let it all go, but his thresh-
ing is not all done yet. There was no
last years crop in this. We pt..sume
no one has undertaken to figure up
what the returns from the Morrow
county wheat crop will be this season.
1t will be immense. Someone re-
marked that he understood the crop
of the Lexington section alone would
exceed 100000 cash returns to the
farmers there and this a compare
lively small portion of the wheat belt.
Some energetic fellow should get
busy and figure out an estimate; it
will prove interesting to the sellers
of automobiles and life insurance.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

Last Friday night the students of
the Heppner high school gathered in
a get-acquainted party. The lower
hall was decorated to fit the occasion,
all the classes had their pennant
there except the Freshies whose pen
nant has not yet arrived. The recep-
tion committe met all the students
at the door as they arrived and saw
that they were placed alright. After
that the entertainment committee
showed their worth by making every
body get in and have good time.
They started out with Virginia Reel
and everybody took part with enthu-
siasm. After that they played the
"Millers Boy" Proverbs, the
"Shadowagraph," and Chinese Cos
sip all of which were a great sue
cess. The refreshment committee
then took charge of the party, and by
the looks of things every body did
their part toward making this part of
the occasion success. After the re-
freshments were over, Miss Buckley
played few pieces on the piano, fol-
lowing this Norton Winnard, Presi-
dent of the Student Body made a
speech which put pep" into every
body, so much in fact that a minute
after when the yell leader took hold
of them that they made the old school
house shake. After giving nine
Rah's for each of the committees,
President Winnard, and the faculty;
they sang the old high school song
and Good Night Ladies" and dispers-
ed.
On Friday morning there was an
informal meeting of the student-body
for the purpose of finding out the at
titude of the students toward foot
ball. Now that the team is sure of
place to play, the heads of the pro-
position wanted to find out if the stu
dent body wanted to put out team,
and if so, if the boys were going to
turn out for practice. The president
of the Athletic Association called for
all the boys to stand up who intended
to turn out for practice, and glad to
say there was enough that Heppner
High can have team and a good one.
On Saturday the Heppner delegates
went to Lexington to meet with de-
legates from lone and Lexington, for
the purpose or arranging foot ball
schedule.
1t was announced at the party Fri
day night that there would be a clam
feed on Halloween, and that all this
would be at the expense of Professor
Hoffman.
Monday morning, the delegates
to the conference at Lexington re-
ported. Three Heppner men went
down but Mr.. Atkinson gave the re-
port for the three. One of the main
things decided on at the conference
was, that there should be board of
arbitration, so to speak, to settle all
disputes that might arise between the
schools involved. Henry Peterson,
of Heppner, Mr., Campbell of Lexing-
ton, and Mr.. Sperry Of lone are the
members of this board. At the con-
ference they also decided several 9TH
er matters of more or less impor-
tanCe. The first game of the season
will be played between lone and
Heppner, at Heppner on October 21.
There were five new students en-
rolled on Monday, their names are as
