NEW RULING ON
 REGISTRATION

The local registration officials were yesterday in receipt of messages from the governors office at Juneau rela tive to the age Of registration. They are instructed in the messages that men attaining the age of twenty one years before September 2, the last day of registration, will be signed up, while those reaching the age of thirty-one before that time i.re not to be registered.
 Just when registration will start in the outlying districts has not yet registration at the city hall is going on slowly but sure. The following names, registered since the last list was published, brings the total up to eighty-one;
 IN OUTLYING DISTRICTS.
 The registration which has com menced is for the town of Fairbanks alone, not for the outlying districts. The mayor of each incorporated town in the various divisions of Al aska takes care of the registration within the city limits, while the di- visional board, which is headed by the clerk of court, has to do with the handling of registration in all parts of the division lying without the incorporated towns
 No announcement has as yet been made regarding registration in the outlying districts. for the reason that the divisional board is not yet ready Chief Deputy Clerk of Court Frank B. Hall stated yesterday that he cannot yet tell when it will start, but 1t Is certain to be in the near

RAIL. ROAD 1 LABOR.

The Citizen believes in organized labor and has always realized that only through organization would 1t be possible for labor to meet its problems efficiently. But there IS less need for organization in this country than any other, we also believe, for the req son that there is very little or no organization of capital or employers. Only where capital is highly organized has there been any great need for labor organization. However, with a proper understanding, collective bargaining as is the case with labor unions Is more easy than individual and more satisfactory.
 In any organization of labor at this time great care should be taken to go ahead with temperance and judgment, passing any re quests for changes in either working condi tions or wage schedules upon actual needs that can be shown to exist, rather than upO1. any persons idea of what should be asked for. If there should be just foundation for a request for any change, 1t can probably be effected without friction by the use o1 common sense instead of force.
 It is to be hoped by every Alaskan that the proposed labor organization at Nenana will not present demands upon Commission CT Riggs that he is unable to meet. That such step would be of little avail to labor can readily be seen, and might serve to delay the construction work on the road, which has already been held back more than was cN- peCted. If any injustice exists i'll the scale of wages paid on the different divisions, as between coast and interior, ii 1t IS presented in the proper shape to the proper authority 1t can probably be corrected in a short time But the laborers should not take the posi- ton that the scehdue is not adequate ove1 the entire system. Shortly after the present schedule of wages was put into effect there was some question of calling a strike at An chorage, and the labor union at that point rejected any such action upon strike vote
 The coast union in its vote was guided to a certain extent by the fact that the gov ernment was expendlng vast sums to oper up the resources of the country without hope of immediate remuneration and to give the territory an opportunity to develop its varied resources before 1t was too late to realize their full value without being taxed too heavi- ly by the cost of development.
 Any demands that are to be made OH the government by any proposed labor orga- nizatlons that fail to take this into COnSld eration are liable to misConstruction, and the organizations making them fall short of their duties as Alaskans and Americans On the other hand, 1t is not the policy or intention of the government to employ labor at star VatlOn wages, nor to use pauper labor. Wei believe that if labor, either organized or un organized, can show that 1t IS not receiving a just remuneration that it's wage is below living wage, it will experience no difficulty in effecting an adjustment.
The Alaska citizen., 1917-07-16

It is to be hoped, then, that we have seen the last of any strike possibility at Ne mana; in fact, 1t Is believed that with the agi tators gone the fermentation will cease The case at Nenana Is something like the case at Jerome in that only few men walked out in the first place; the ma ajority of right thinkers remained at work
The Alaska citizen., 1917-07-16

Is whether it has the right 10 r. ister d man who becomes ,hirsor years of age within the tune zst n registerins that is, has il the ricI to register a man who attaiu~ h thirty-first birthday between July and September ?
 Mr Hall also stated yesterday th. no registration officials for outlyir places had yet been named. It probable, however. that the mat, will be left with the United Stat, commissioners in place- where tho are such officials They will pro ably have the right of appo.ut.l registration officers, but it is e pccted that they will name pos masters in the various communiuc as postmastors. d. general ruI have better line" on every boo than has anyone else.

MORROW COUNTYS GIFT TO RED CROSS
EXCEEDS FIFTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS

Morrow COnnty's gift to the, Red
Cross in the recent drive will exceed
$4,000. The returns from Eight
Mile are incomplete and Boardman
has not yet been heard from. Con-
servative estimates by the committee
put the fund we'll past the fifteen
thousand dollar mark. This is fifty
per cent more than the county was
apportioned, our quota being $1O,-
900.
The local chapter Of the Red Cross
worked under handicap, inasmuch
as the work was not organized here
for the drive until almost week late
Practically all the contributions were
gathered in single days drive
which speaks much for the work of
the executive committee.
Returns to date show the follow
ing amounts received from the cap
tains of the various districts with the
assistance of their co-workers.

BIBLE CLASS ENTERTAINS

The Roe Bible class of the FEEDER
ated church gave a delightful little
party at the parsonage Monday even
ing in honor of Miss Anna Forbes,
sister of Mrs. E. D. Brown of this
place. The evening was spent in
each one present writing some funny
little story, or rhyme to be read by
Miss Forbes on her journey. So many
of the ladies came without their
glasses that it got to be quite joke.
Miss Forbes was required to write
an original joke or poem, and this
is what she wrote on the spur of the
moment
Here's to the ladies Of the Bible Glass
And to the farewell given to a lone
ly lass;
May they all prosper and have many
dimes
And keep right on having very good
times.
And here's my thanks for your kind
ness to me.
You have made me hate very much
to flee.
And when you part with some more
lasses
May all of you be sure to bring your
glasses.
Mrs. Woodson made beautiful
talk, and on behalf of the class pre-
sented Miss Forbes with handsome
souvenir spoon, bearing the single
word "Heppner' in open work on
the handle, and Roe, Bible Glass
engraved In the bowl.
Dainty refreshments of ice cream
and cake were served, after which
the following guests departed for
their homes, declaring they had had
lovely time

Parker, president of class; Miss For
bes, honor guest; Mesdames Crock

Miss Forbes left for her home in
Gilby, N. D., Wednesday morning.
She will visit in Salt Lake, Chicago,
and points in Wisconsin en- route.
Miss Forbes is young lady of
more than ordinary talent and
sweetness of disposition, and she will
be missed greatly by all her friends.

MAN PROBABLY FATALLY
INJURED AT LEXINGTON

Jas. Brown, brother-in-law of
Andrew Reaney was probably fatally
injured at the Reaney place near
Lexington last Wednesday when the
bones of his leg were crushed and
ground by jack ass which he was
watering at a trough.
The jack became infuriated over
something and grabbed Mr.. Browns
leg with his teeth. Although DR..
McMurdo was called from Heppner
to assist the injured man, it is be-
lieved there is little hope for his
recovery. He is past seventy years
of age.
Mr.. Brown and his wife live in
Pendleton and they had been visiting
at the Reaney home.

STREET PAVING
GETS ATTENTION
Heppner Business Men and Property
Owners Met Last Friday and
Were Unanimous in the Opin-
ion That at Least Main
Street Should be Paved.

The business men and property
owners of Heppner met at the City
Hall last Friday evening and dis
cussed at some length the street paw
ing proposition which mas been con-
siderably agitated the past few
weeks.
W. B. Barratt was chosen to act as
chairman of the meeting and ]. o.
Hager served as secretary. A large
number of business men expressed
their views on the subject. Three
or four of the city councilmen made
short talks, other property owners
voiced their sentiments and John w.
johnson, paving contractor, talked
on the subject from the standpoint
of cost and material. He also drew
few plans which might be adopted
in paving Main street at the mini
mum cost to get the maximum value
of paving.
A noticeable feature Of the mass
meeting was the fact that everyone
who had anything to say on the sub
ject was strongly in favor of the paw
ing proposition. Mayor Notson and
the city council believe it to be the
one equitable solution of Heppners
street problem.
The question of finances loomed
as the one big obstructing factor.
Some believe that direct city assess
ment against all property abutting
on the proposed street paving should
be the means adopted for paying for
the same. Others believe that gen
eral bond issue should be voted for
paving Main street either from the
South end of Main street by the
power house to the depot or from the
Court House down May street to the
Palace Hotel and from there on to
the depot
Upon motion, Chairman Barratt
appointed a committee to get esti-
mates on cost of various forms Of
street paving and after two or three
different designs, from the state en-
gineer. This committee will also
look into the matter of finances and
report on what they find to be the
best method for raising the money.
Another meeting will be held in the
City Hall on Friday evening, July 6.
From present indications it appears
that something in the line of real
active work will be started on Hepp-
ner's street paving in the early fut-
ure.

Germany Loses First
Battle AT Parkers MIL

The first clash in hostilities be-
tween the United States and Ger
many had its local setting at Par
kers Mill one day last week which
resulted in rout for the German
forces. Captain Milt Maxwell of the
home guard appeared with rein
forcements at the proper time, other
wise the day might have been lost to
the home boys and serious loss of
life would have been the result.
L. v. Gentry's sheep, consisting of
two bands had stopped at the Mill
over night and in some manner two
or three sheep out of one band got
mixed with the sheep IN the other
band. Albert Crewdsor had charge
Of one bunch and a young German
lad had charge of the other, and it
was the Germans sheep that got
mixed up in Crewdson's band. The
mixup occurred the night before and
the German insisted that Crewdson
get the sheep separated at once.
Crewdson said nothing doing, as it
was getting dark the matter could
wait until morning. At that, the
German became infuriated and start
ed after Crewdson with an ugly look
ing knife.
Just what damage would have
been inflicted upon the body Of
Crewdson by the irate German is
hard to say, but at this juncture Of
the fighting, Milt Maxwell, the Par
kers Mill postmaster, appeared on
the scene and disarmed the German.
Some time during the night the
German picked up his belongings,
everything but the knife, which was
still in the possession of Mr.. Max
we'll, and left for points unknown
to anyone except himself and he has
not been seen or heard of since. For
tunately young man at the Mill
consented to 60 on with the sheep,
otherwise Mr.. Gentry might still be
minus the services of one herder.

HARDMAN COUNTRY IS
AWAKE TO SITUATION
Rich and Poor Give to Red Cross
With the Same Willingness, Real
izing They Can Do Their
Bit in This Way.

The men, women and children of
the Hardman country have come to
the support of the Red Cross in a
most substantial manner. Their spir-
it of giving will linger long in the
minds of those men who were solicit
ing subscriptions there the first of
the week.
The work which the Red Cross or
ganization is doing upon the battle
fields was brought home to Hardman
in a clear manner by S. E. Notson in
mastery address on Sunday after
noon. Later when the solicitors
made the rounds it was not a hard
matter to get liberal subscriptions on
every hand.
A total of nearly s1400 was raised
in the Hardman section. Under the
leadership of DR.. Geo. G. Gaunt of
Hardman the territory was divided
into three parts, George Bleakman
and George McDuffee having charge
of the other two divisions.
The men were met at the front
gates by the wealthy sheepmen who
were already alive to the situation
and were meeting it with a heavy
check. Little children gave all their
savings and the women gave in a
generous manner.
One woman said, "We know you
will probably be back again at some
later date, so we will not give it all
this time" She gave SIS. That was
the spirit of Hardman. They are into
the Red Cross work with all their
heart.

Little Girl Sells $40
Worth Of re. Buttons

We believe that a little Heppner
girl has made the record for one
days donation to the Red Cross.
Marjorie Clark, little daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. M. d. Clark, went out
and sold ten dollars worth of Red
Cross buttons in one day. This is
working pretty hard for grown up,
to say nothing about a little girl
when one considers that its hun
dred buttons. Little Miss Clark
thinks she has saved the lives of the
Heppner boys who have gone to the
col0rs. Anyway, she has done her
bit.
