W. PREWTTT cox. Secretary

]. B. Culick, of Portland, was in
Heppner from the Jack Ayers place
on Butter creek, where he has been
visiting during the past week. Mr..
Culick is now engaged in one of the
saw mills in Portland and helping
get out the finished lumber for Uncle
Sans airplanes. He will return
home in a few days, being accom-
panied by couple of the children
of Mr.. and Mrs. Ayres who will
attend school in Portland during the
winter.
ssasss DR.. Turner, eye specialist of
~ Portland, will be in Heppner
again Wednesday and Thursday.
Sept. 1919. at Barnard's rooming
house. In lone Tuesday, Sept. II.
In Monument Saturday. Sept, 21. DR.
Turner is specialist of experience
and standing and you will make no
mistake in consulting him about
your eyes and glasses. Headaches
relieved, cross eyes Strengthened
Satisfaction guaranteed. Consult
him. 21-St
Mr.. and Mrs. Bert Sigsbee will
continue in the management of the
Star theater at Heppner. While here
the first of the week arrangements
we're made with Mr.. Sparks to this
effect. The Star is putting on fine
class of pictures and as a result the
paronage has greatly increased.
Mr.. Sigsbee announces that, begin
ming about the 2Sth of this month,
the Star will be placed on the Hippo
drome Circuit, and for at least two
nights out of each month Heppner
will be treated to first class vaude-
Vile. He promises that there will
be no cheap stuff, as Heppner will
get the same class of performance
that is given Portland and Pendle-
ton.
The bum fire alarm Sunday morn
ing came near making T. j. Humph-
reys fit subject for the under
taker. In fact, he believes there
was frame up between Frank
Turner and NJ. L. Case whereby he
was to be made the chief personage
at first class funeral. Hurrying
to the fire in Turner's car, Humph-
reys prepared to make a hasty exit
and reached for the door, Which was
not fastened, and the result Was that
he proceeded on out and collided
with the macadam on the street in a
very undignified manner. One hand
was badly skinned and when he was
picked up the side of his face some
what resembled the rapidly chang
ing war map on the Western front in
Europe. Mr. Humphreys states that
there is but one thing that will bring
him consolation, and that is the
fellow who turned in that false
alarm gets stiff fine for his job.
He will have no chance to get even
with Turner and Case.

Troops Landed Safe In France

The United States navy has triumph
antly demonstrated it's high efficiency,
and has removed one cause of fear
from the minds of the American peo-
pie. 1t has proven that we can trans
port troops to France with no great
danger from the German submarines.
Though there was no doubt Germany
was fully informed of the movement Of
the transports, all were landed in safe
ty.
No sensible person can doubt that
had Germany seen the faintest chance
TO sink our troops ships she would have
been quick to avail herself of the OPP
portunity, thus striking terror to our
people at the outset. That only tenta-
tive efforts were madeis proof that she
realized the hopelessness of the under
taking.
Thus does this country again demon
strate its ability to meet any emergen-
cy.

Notifying Relatives of Casualties

Relatives of soldiers named in casua-
lty lists forwarded from France or
dinarily are notified within "a hours
after receipt of the lists, according to
statement authorized by the war
Department. A statistical division,
with a staff of officers and corps of
stenographers, gives all its time to the
maintenance of files of soldiers names
and addresses. This division notifies
relatives.
While relatives are generally in re-
ceipt of information within "a hours
after the cables are received, delays
are sometimes due to clerical errors
caused by the fact that names must
pass through 80 many hands in France
and in America, Incorrect emergency
addresses turned in by soldiers, re-
moval of families co addresses other
than those listed, and the occasional
necessity for cabling back to Gen.
Pershing to verify name or to obtain
an address.
Aside from these four causes of de-
lay the only reason for the failure of
relatives to receive word at once is

Kerosene Supply Will Be Short

The supply of kerosene will run short
this winter. Each user must do his
part toward saving it. Every gallon
must be made to do war duty by giving
forth it's full measure of light and
heat. This can be accomplished only
if good care is taken of:lamps, lanterns
heaters and stoves.
The Director of Oil Conservation of
the United States Fuel Administration
announces these principles of fuel-oil
saving:
1 Keep all lamps and lantern globes
clean. Let the light shine out. Don't
confine it behind smoked and dirty
chimneys.
See that buraers and wicks OF all
oil burning devices are clean. Clean
burners require less oil and give better
lights.
Don't allow lamp. lantern, heater
or stove to burn a minute longer than
is necessary. Don't light one you can
do without
Don't use coal oil for cleaning pur-
poses.

The 4th July Celebration

The Fourth of July celebration was
a success in spite of the rain. 1t rained
frequently all day. The program dur
ing the forenoon was carried out ac-
cording to schedule. The parade was
headed by a band of about Is pieces
and while not as large as in other
years, was good. A service flag was
dedicated at the Soperton band stand
with good address by j. I. Sims and
community singing. The flag at the
school house was then unfurled with a
fine address by g. P. Junkman. The
crowd then marched TO the Catholic
church where the bronze tablet was
dedicated, Rev. Buytaert delivering a
fine address. Dinner was then served
by members of the three churches.
The afternoon program was held at
Neider's hall on account of the rain.
1t consisted of songs and drills by the
school children, community singing,
the reading of the Declaration of In
dependence by DIR. Tenley and good
address by Rev. Kuether. The White
Elephant sale was well attended and a
good sum was realized. Howard illegal
made good auctioneer.
In the evening motion picture show
was given at Neidsr's hall and big
dance at Enders' hall.
The entire celebration was given for
the benefit of the Red Cross and
s613.41 was realized.

LETTER FROM DR.. ELLIOTT
Base Hospital, Camp Pike, Ark.
July /, 1918.

| Base Hospital, camp Plke, ARK.
July /, 1918.
Dear Hubbard
was sure glad to get your letter and
know that every thing was going on
fine up in Forest County. would sure
ly like to enjoy some Of the fine cool
weather you have had up there this
summer. It has been mighty hot down
here and we get no relief except for a
few hours after rain. However, the
last week we have had frequent rains.
We have four electric fans in our house
one over the dining room table. one on
the front porch and one in each bed
room. It is the only relief we get hot
days and nights. Last week or the
week before the camp here was just
about empty and today we have be-
tween 40, 900 and $4,000 men here so
you see we are turning out our army
rapidly and believe me they are good
bunch of fighters too. Full of pep and
all happy when they get orders for
France. I am hoping every day for or
ders to go but somehow they don't
seem to come. Will get started some
day hope for sure am anxious to
get into the game in fact. Everybody
else is looking forward to going also
and 80 l am not the only anxious one.
/ am always pleased to hear any good
news about Forest County altho | never
expect to live in Forest County again
am always proud of any way in which
she may prove her worth to the coun-
try at this time.
We are going to win this fight Bill
but it is going to take lot of men to
do it and it wont be done before our
weekly casualty list contain the names
of so, 900 men per week. Few people
realize just how big fight this is but
they will begin to find out in about
another year. am always pleased
when hear some senator talk about
an army of from 100000 to 1000, 900
and am waiting for some brave one to
say 100000 for that is the figure
that interests me. You see if we get
5000, 900 over we will have to have
about 5000, 900 at home to draw from.
/ was 80 sorry to hear of the death OF
Raymond Pichotta and Mr.. and Mrs.
Pichotta have my heartfelt sympathy
and it must be great consolation to
them to know that he died fighting fol-
all there is good in the world.
Can it be possible that there are any
pro Germans left in Wabeno? hope
not by this time.
Well Bill write again when you have
time for am always glad to hear from
you and any news from home is always
