Col. ]. F. McNaught, a pioneer of
the Hermiston valley and one of the
best known ranchers on the project,
met with very bad accident at his
home in this city last Saturday night.

usual ablution, his foot slipping from
under him as he stepped to the floor,
thereby causing him to fall backward.
Throwing out his right hand to break
the fall he missed catching hold of
the bath tub and fell with the arm
underneath, in such a manner that it
broke it off square above the elbow.
After having it set, himself and son,
c. s. McNaught. went to Pendleton

bought two Liberty bonds. This news
ought to bring the blush of shame to
the cheeks of certain moneyed men
In Grant county who have never in
vested cent in Liberty bonds. This
mere boy of 10 years not only offered
his life to stop the oncoming Hun,
but freely gave up his money. Shame
on you who have stayed at home, and
piled up wealth on war prices and
have never helped such boys with
your money. buying Liberty bonds.
Your community knows you. You
are In disgrace. You are contempt
ible. You are disloyal and disloyalty
is treason. You know the punish
ment for treason. Beware of the fu-
ture. Beware of the time when a
hundred homes in Grant county have
the badge of mourning on their door
for the boys who bought Liberty
bonds, went to the front and gave up
their young lives. You then will not
only be in disgrace but you will be in
danger. Shame on disloyal money.
Shame on its owner and woe be unto
them when finally loyal, true and
patriotic people speak.

Lumber Cut of Identical Mills in Ore.
gOn and Washington.

Lumber census reports received up
to March Is, by District Forester
George H. Cecil, show that 2O5 large
mills in Oregon and Washington cut
five and one-half billion board feet
during 1917. This is $50 million
board feet more than the cut of the
same mills for 1915.
The returns available are as YET
incomplete, although about three
fourths of the mills of the two states
have sent in reports. Because of the
need for an accurate census, due to
the country's wartime demand for
lumber officials in charge of the
work are urging mills which have not
yet reported to do so as soon a posi-.

NO LABOR SHORTAGE
SHOWN BY SURVEY

Already about 10000 of the 35, 200
producing farms of Oregon have re-
ported to j. w. Brewer, in charge of
the farm labor survey, and are being
summarized at Salem. Advance
data taken from these sheets indi-
cate large increase in the winter
wheat acreage, and a prospective in
crease of spring sowing.
Mr.. Brewer is working in coopera-
tion with the Federal and public
bureaus, which have thus far been
able to supply practically every de-
mand for farm labor. An apparent
labor shortage has in some districts
cut down the acreage, but the pro-
posed policy of exempting all farm
help from the second draft until af-
ter harvest has greatly encouraged
the farmer.
A great increase in the use of la
bor-saving machinery on the farm
has tended still further to reduce
the threatened labor shortage. Farm
tractors and two-men combines are
being ordered in considerable num-
bers in some districts.
Farm wages are higher than last
year, but scale of $50 a month
with board has been agreed upon as
fair alike to all parties. Harvest
wages will range slightly higher, de-
pending upon the character of the
work.
The U. s. Department of Agricul-
ture and the Agricultural College
have joint supervision Of the crop
and labor survey in Oregon. Mr..
Brewer maintains his offices in room
704, Oregon Bldg, Portland.

St. PATRICK'S DAY
FITTINCLY OBSERVED

st. Patrick's Day was celebrated in
a very becoming manner in Heppner
this year. A large number of out of
town people were here over the week
end and participated in observing the
occasion.
On the eve of st. Patrick's Day,
March 10th, a program, patriotic in
nature and composed of numbers
representing special talnt, was open
ed by the singing of patriotic selec-
tions by the high school chorus. This
was followed by piano selection by
Mrs. C. l.. Sweek, which was rendered
in her usual artistic manner. The
next number was a vocal solo by Mrs.
R. J. Vaughan and her numbers were
we'll received.
Francis A. McMenamin, young
Heppner attorney, was speaker of the
evening, and his address was strong
patriotic appeal for Irishmen living
in the United States to assist in every
way possible in winning the war, and
by SO doing they would prove worthy
successors to their forefathers who
fought with Washington. Mr.. Nc
Menamin is a forceful speaker with
great oratorical ability and held his
audience at tense interest throughout
his address.
Miss Peggy O'Rourke rendered two
vocal solos and they were so we'll re-
ceived that it proved beyond doubt
that she has lost none of her popu-
larity as singer. Miss Vitalia Pes
simeir of Tacoma also sang two songs.
She is talented young lady and pos
sessed of a charming voice. Mrs. G.
M. Sims sang two songs and her sing
ing proved that her voice has lost
none of the sweetness that won many
friends for the singer when she for
merly lived in Heppner John Kenny,
president of Heppner Division of Hi
bernians, was chairman of the eve
ming.
On Sunday, March 18th, the mem
bers of A. o. H. gathered at the I. O.
o. F. hall at 10 a. m. and then pro-
ceeded in body to the 1880 ser
vices in st. Patrick's church where
Father O'Rourke was celebrant of
the Mass and Rt. Rev. Abbott Alden
helm, president of Mt Angel College,
delivered the sermon on st. Patrick.
The Rev. Aldenheim is the founder of
Mt. Angel College, which is now one
of the leading institutions of its kind
in the state of Oregon. In the after
noon a lodge meeting of Hibrnians
and Ladies Auxiliary was held and at
$50 banquet was served In the l..
O. o. F. hall. The banquet was
served by ]. l.. Wilkins, and If 1t is
possible for the good natured proprie-
tor of the Palace Hotel to add any
laurels to his fame as caterer, 1t was
surely done on this occasion.
Following the banquet, social
time was held and the many speeches
that were made, the songs sung and
the witty stories told, would be too
numerous to mention. The most es-
joyable thing of the evening was the
40-minute talk by Rt. Rev. Abbott
Aidenhcim IN which he related many
of his experiences during his "A years
missionary work in Oregon. Rev.
Father O'Rourke delivered a stirring
address of a patriotic nature.

Labor turnover or the number of

United States normally for unskilled
labor at 900 per cent. But since the
halcyon days of the war, when wages
have been raised past salaries, the
turnover" had jumped to about 1000
per cent. or it has taken ten men dEr-
ing the year to do one mans work.
This must all stop. Manufactures
must stop bidding against each other.
