|CLUB DECIDES It
WILL NOT DIE
Wide-A-Wake Members Sense Future
Responsibilities And Need For
Strong Organization-C. L.,
Sweek Elected Presi.
dent For New Year,

The Heppner Commercial Club
will not die. This was the sense of
the meeting of the Club on Monday
evening and strong reviving steps
have been taken to nourish the or
ganizaztion back to full strength.
The end of the old year came with
the Monday evening meeting and as
president A. M. Phelps announced
that he could not serve another year,
Calvin L. Sweek, was chosen as the
logical man for the position. Secre-
tary Smead was retained for another
year.
S. Z. Notson, who represented the
Club in the Legislature In behalf of
the Columbia Highway through this
section of Morrow county. made his
report. From the report, it is evil
dent that Mr.. Notson and R. w.
Turner, who represented the farmers,
did some good work. When the road
bonding bill was first introduced,
there was only one highway through
the county designated. This route
was up the Columbia river from Ar
lington to Pendleton. BY the time
the bill came up for passage the road
was specifically designated through
the towns of Arlington, lone, Lex
ington and Heppner to Pendleton by
the way of Pilot Rock. The bill
was referred to the people for their
approval at a special election which
| will be held on June 4.
Mr.. Notson explained to some ex-
tent, the working of the bill the man
ner in which the bonds would be met,
in the event they are voted, and just
what policy would be pursued by the
State Highway Commission in spend
ing the money thus raised.
There will be another fund avail
able for permanent road building
which comes from the Shackelford
bill under Federal supervision. This
money will be spent in improving and
building post roads and roads leading
into and through the National For
est Reserves.
Secretary Smead was instructed to
wire night letter to representative
Sinnott and Senator'S Chamberlain
and Lane protesting against removal
by postof1ice department of mail
clerk on the Heppner branch line. A
protest signed by practically every
| patron on the Heppner branch line
will be forwarded to Washington at
once, in order that Congress may
have time to act upon the matter
during the present session. Similar
protests are going into the depart
ment from all sections of the North
west, where the mail service is be-
ing hampered and the efficiency de-
creasd through the economy of the
postoffice department

MANY IMPROVE
/. hENTS TO Be MADE
Thousands of Dollars will be Spent
Improving Business Blocks.
Work Soon Under Way.

During the present year thousands
of dollars will be spent in Heppner
in new buildings and improvements.
Actual work will start with the open
ing of Spring.
Probably the biggest item of i'm
provement will be the remodelling of
the First National Bank building
which will cost approximately ;1O,-
600. Plans of the architect have been
completed for sometime and the re-
modelling work has only been delayed
on account of the inclement weather.
From the plans, when completed,
Heppner will have one of the finest
bank buildings in the State. The
entire brick structure will be occupi-
ed for banking quarters and the out
side Of the building will be materially
changed. There will be one large
front entrance in the middle facing
on Main street, thus eliminating the
corner doors. c. C. Robbins of Port
land drew up the plans for the new
building.
Another important improvement
which will mean much to Heppner,
and especially to the travelling public,
is the remodeling of the Palace hotel.
This work is already under way and
will mean the expenditure of several
thousand dollars before the work is
finished. 1t will mean the complete
finishing of the basement, which has
already been leased to a commercial
enterprise, the removal of the lob
by from the corner of the lower floor
to the middle room which at the pre-
sent time is occupied by a billiard and
pool hall and complete change in
the manner of accendency to the up
per floors. The stair way now lead
ing to the upper floors will be elimin-
ated and in their stead, new en-
trance will lead up directly from the
new lobby. The proposed change
will also alter the entrance into the
dinnilag room, since all Railways or
the first floor will be eliminated.
Manager Wilkins has in view, the
conservation of every available foot
of floor space, realizing that there has
been much waste under present con.
ditions. The plans as outlined will
make wonderful and effective
change in the appearance and con.
venience of things generally in the
hotel, making that hostelry modern
and more efficient. Work of remodel
ing the first floor will commence Oh
soon as the workmen have completed
the task of laying the concrete floors
and making other improvements j!
the basement.
Many rumors are in the aic regard
ing other new business structures ant
residences which will probably ma
terialize at later date.

The home talent entertainment at
the high school auditorium on We'd
nesday evening, which was given for
the benefit of the lyceum course def
icit, was fairly well attended. The
feature of the evenings entertain
ment was the readings by Mrs. Ber-
wick. This gifted woman appeared
in number of well known selections,
both humorous and serious. Her i'm
presentations seemed to us perfect,
and her final effort, selection from
1.-THE Call of the Wild" was the eli
max of an enjoyable program.
The other numbers of the program
were good and displayed the fact that
Heppner has some real talent which
should be encouraged to even greater
development.

The following interesting bit Of in
formation comes from Columbia--the
Beneficiary Town OF Missouri--in a
special to the st. Louis Republic, un-
der date OF July 81:
Bible study will soon form 3 part Of
the regular credit work OF all the high
schools OF the State, If the plans OF
Prof. J. y. Eisiif. high-school visitor
for the University OF Missouri, is
adopted. 1ne high schools Of WEBB
City and Iberia are giving Bible credit
and Prof. Elliff expects the plan to be
approved by the State Education De-
partmeat and TO be adopted ny the
schools all over the State.
This il all according to beliefin the
union of Church and state and is in
deed an excellent move, only it lacks
specifications. Which Bible is 10 be
used--the Catholic, King James YER
s~lon--reylsed or unrevised--the Tai
mud or the Koran? All these have
their adherents here in free America,
where we are all required by law to
contribute OF orr earnings to n sup.
port Of the Public Schools, regardless
of our individual religious BELIEF or
uubelief. Our forbears rid themselves
of difficult and irritating question
when they barred all religious in
struction from these schools; but are

he leaves to mourn his departure a
sister, Rose Billiard of st. Cloud,
Florida, brother. Ellsworth of Boise
City, Idaho, and many other relatives
and friends. A younger brother,
Harry, was drowned in Lake Cora
having broken through the ice while
skating.
Mr.. Butled died on the farm where
he was born. His life has been spent
in our midst. AS a neighbor he was
kind and true, as a citizen he was
loyal, honest and courageous, always
doing by others as he would be done
by. A good man has gone from US.
The funeral was held from the
house Sunday afternoon, Rev. c. H.
Heaton officiating, and burial was
made in the Wildey cemetary.

The Saxtons, too, were pioneers who
lived on the farm now owned by E.
D. Johnson. Both families were
widely known for their hospitality,
integrity and strength of character.
Mr.. Butler always signed his name
al. g." but, from boyhood, he has
been known as "Lafe." He attended
school at the Wildey school house
when C. j. Monroe, ]. B. Smith and
c. w. Young were among the early
and efficient instructors, and the
families of Butler, Wildey, Wilson,
Abrams, Rhodes, Prater, Pugsley,
Reliegh, Luce, Dean, Salt and Wood
man went a long way toward furnish
ing the seventy-fve to ninety pupils
who crowded the school house in the
early sixties.
On April seventeenth 1884 he was
married to Alice Raleigh who, with
her parents and four brothers came
from Brockport, New York, in 1865.
In childhood they were school mates
and as they have travelled life's road
together, their love and devotion to
each other and the dear ones who
seemed to especially need their care,
have been worthy of imitation.
Besides his widow and his mother
