HOME GUARD WILL
SOON Be ORGANIZED
Mass Meeting Has Been Called For
This City to Prepare for Home
Defense.-MOvemen Has
Backing of Nearly
Every Citizen.

Heppner will organize home
guard. A meeting has been called
for this evening when the male citi-
zens OF Heppner will gather at the
city council chambers and take pre-
liminary steps for such an organiza-
ton.
Yesterday a petition was circulated
throughout the town and heavily
signed by men who are interested in
such a move and will lend their NOR
al and physical support to such a
movement.
Tom E. Chidsey, veteran of the
Spanish American war, has already
received the blanks necessary for the
preliminary steps. The idea is tc
form a company that will undergo
forms of military instruction ant
which will learn the use of fire arms
and military terms.
In order that Heppner will not bt
behind other towns of the state ant
nation, the move to organize now il
indeed timely. A big turnout is ex
pected at tonight's meeting, whicl
has been called by Mayor S. E. Not
son.

To Give Canning Demonstrations.

Miss Helen Cowgirl, assistant state
leader Of the Boys and Girls Indus
trial Club, will arrive in Morrow
county on August to give canning
demonstrations.
Miss Cowgirl will have but two
days at her disposal for Morrow
county, and desires to meet all those
interested in this phase of food con-
servation at lone, Lexington and
Heppner, and in company with Su-
perintendent Shurte, will visit these
points on the first day of her visit
here. The second day she will go to
Boardman in answer to a special re-
quest for her to come to that point
and give her demonstrations.
While here, Miss Cowgirl would
like to organize few canning teams
from among the school children of
the county. These teams will consist
of three members each, and they are
expected to enter into competition
with other teams of a like nature ov-
er the state, and with other states as
we'll. The work is very interesting
and profitable.
Not being equipped to handle the
demonstrations just as they would be
put into practical use here, Miss Cow
gill would appreciate the use of a
kitchen of some good housewife in
the different places which she will
visit during her stay in the county.

ROADS MEETING
HERE FRIDAY NIGHT
Committees Who Went to Walla
Walla and Pendleton as Well as
One to Arlington viii Make
Their Reports With Append
ed Suggestions in Big Meet
ing at Council Chambers.

The road germ is still working.
Two committees will make their re-
ports at a public meeting in the coun-
Gil chambers tomorrow night. The
first committee, which went to Pen
dletOn and Walla Walla to investi-
gate street paving will make their re-
port and will offer some valuable sug-
gestions which they have arrived at
after diligent study and thorough
inquiry.
The second committee, which went
to Arlington Tuesday to attend
roads meeting relative to proposed
work on the Columbia highway will
also make their report. 1t is under
stood that Arlington and the upper
river towns of Umatilla, Hermiston,
Stanfield and Echo have formed a
Columbia highway association and
will work to have the highway 60 on
up the river through the north end
of Morrow county. They have asked
the cooperation from the people of
the upper route and our people will
reciprocate If we can have the COOP
Grafton of the other side. Accord
ing to the committee it is plain case
of cooperation if any roads are to be
built through Morrow county at ALL
A representative of the Warren
Construction Company will pc pres
ent to offer estimates in the way Of
costs. This will aid the people in
getting some idea of what can be
done at this time. The attitude of
the county court will also be asked
in regard to putting the road between
Heppner and lone in shape for hard
surfacing at once.
M. O. Bennett, assistant state high
way engineer who was in Heppner
yesterday stated that the survey
would be made Just as soon as 1t was
definitely known what this end Of
the county is going to do. They ex
pect to get to Heppner later anyway
but are rushed to the limit at the
present time laying out surveys Of
those stretches of highway which will
be built within the next few months

Hawaiians Coming.

The Kulolia Hawaiians will be the
attraction at the Star theater for two
nights, Sunday and Monday, in a
dreamy, oriental fantasy, 1.-THE Par
adise of the Pacific" This is a com
pany of native Eawaiians, direct
from the Hawaiian Islands, and is the
most unique offering to be seen here
this season. There are real Hawai-
ian singers. wonderfully clever mu-
sicians, sensational Hula dancers and
a real native Hawaiian chorus of
boys.
This show has broken house rec
ords everywhere for large attend
ance and it is sure that Star patrons
will be pleased with this attraction,
because of its high quality. The COM
pany carries elaborate stage set
ting which gives the local color of
a real Hawaiian night.

FRISCO MAN SEES
BIG FUTURE HERE
Henry Blackman, Formerly Pioneer
Merchant Here, Says Heppner Is
Biggest Town For Its Size
On Pacific Coast.

"Heppner is the biggest town for
its size on the Pacific Coast" said
Henry Blackman, former pioneer
merchant of this city and at one time
a state senator from this district.
Mr.. Blackman and his wife, who now
live in San Francisco, have been Wis
iting the past three weeks at the
home of Phil Cohn in Heppner. Con-
tinuing, Mr.. Blackman said in part:
Il am pleased to note that Heppner
is taking this big progressive step in
the paving of Main street. 1t is en-
tirely in keeping with the many other
steps of progress that are being taken
here at this time. All these new
buildings, and especially these many
new homes, portends much good for
your little city. 1t means that Hepp-
ner is going ahead at lively rate. I"
Mr.. Blackman has just returned
from Spokane where he went last
week on some business connected
with silver mining properties which
he holds there. A number of Hepp-
nerl people are interested in the same
PROPERTIES and Mr.. Blackman says
they might also be interested to know
that there is now very strong de-
mand for silver as is evidenced in the
fact that the market quotation for
bar silver at the present time Is SIN
cents per ounce, Mr. Blackman says
that II war conditions continue for
any length of time, the mine holdings
there are bound to be an exception
ally good thing.
Speaking of his family, Mr.. Black
man said that he recently received 6
