WAS HEPPNER RESI-.
DENT FOR MANY YEARS
j. W. Marlatt Settled Here i'm 1867
Was Pioneer Stockman.

John Wesley Marlatt, whose death
occurred at Wapato, Washington on
Friday, March IA, was one of the
very earliest settlers in the Heppner
country. He came here in 1867 with
his brother, Thos. Marlatt, and after
stopping short time at the home of
VIM. Penland, where Lexington now
stands, they moved on up the creek
and located homesteads. Thos.
Marlatt taking up the place now
owned by his widow, Malissa Marlatt,
and Wesley settled on the place ad-
joining on the east and known as the
John Y. Wilson place. He filed a
"squatters right on this land and
did net remain there long. With his
brother they engaged in the cattle
business and followed this industry
as partners up until about two
years before Thos. Marlatt died,
when they Dissolved partnership.
He owned a considerable tract of
land just northeast of town which
was disposed of couple of years
ago, and since which time Mr.. Mar
latt has made his home for the most
of the time with his niece, Mrs.
Frank Hall, of Wapato.
He was sturdy pioneer and a
native of Missouri, coming to Oregon
when mere lad. Always honest
and square in all his dealings and a
generous hearted friend. He sue
ceeded in accommodating quite a
competence but was not a man who
made show concerning his earthly
possessions. He never married and
leaves no near relatives except one
brother, George Marlatt, of Jefferson,
Oregon.
Mr.. Marlatt's death was sudden,
coming without any warning while
he wcs sitting in his chair. The
remains arrived at Heppner on Sun
day evening and funeral services
we're held on Monday afternoon at
the Christian church, F. A. Andrews
officiating. He was aged rs years
and II months.

ElKS CONTEMPLATE
BUILDING NEW TEMPLE
Move on Foot to Form Corporation,
Get Plans and Estimates and
Prepare for Construction.

This paper is reliably informed
that the Heppner Elks are now
moving in the direction of putting
up new building on their lot on
Main Street just north of the Palace
Hotel property.
meeting of the trustees of the
lJdse, with a number of influential
members of the order in this city,
was held on Wednesday afternoon. at
which time the situation was gone
over carefully. A proposition was
before them to rent the upper story
of one of the new buildings now
going up in Heppner, and when the
question was thoroughly threshed
out, it was decided that better plan
would be to build on the property
they now own.
The Lodge in Heppner is one of the
strongest in point of membership in
this part of the state, They are quite
well situated in financial way, and
it is the opinion of the officers that
there will be no difficulty in financing
the proposition and gettingg up an
excellent structure, 60x132 feet, two
story and full basement. From
what We learn, their plass contem-
plate a thoroughly equipped lodge
hall, with numerous other useful
in the way of reception
rooms, banquet room, etc.
Thus are the plans working out to
make Heppner a bigger and better
town, and we shall be glad when the
time arrives that we shall be able
to announce the definite plans for
this new enterprise.

COMMERCIAL CLUB

Question Absorbs Interest.

Pcst CtIices-S. L. VanVactor, chair
man; M. d. Clark, S. A. Pattison.
The all-absorbing question at
present is that of good roads. The
Commercial Club is full to the
brim on this subject and it was ma
turally uppermost as matter for
discussion. Mr.. Woodson, who was
one of those attending a conference
IL r-Ldlo~on On saturday last with
the representatives of the State
Highway Commission, Commissioner
Thompson and Engineer Bennett,
was called upon for an expression of
the attitude of these gentlemen to-
ward financial aid for Morrow county
in the construction of roads. Mr..
Woodson gave an explicit outline of
what had been accomplished, this
being followed by discussion which
finally resulted in motion being
carried that commits the Club to a
special bond election, and this is to
be held at just as early a date as
possible.
The committee appointed at the
meeting last week was continued as
q special committee of the Club to
help in putting over the bond cleo
tion. This committee was c. E.
Woodson, Dr. r. ]. Vaughan, and q.
M. Shut, of Heppner, w. G. Scott of
Lexington and w. II. Cronk Of lone,
and it is urged that this committee
proceed as rapidly as possible with
the preparation of petitions to the
County Court, praying that body to
call special election for this pur-
pose.
The splendid new life and vigor
manifested at the meeting is in
dicative of good things to be accom-
plished.

CAST OFF GARMENT DRIVE.

A drive will be on between the
cath and 29th of this month for the
cast off clothing which will be
gathered up and forwarded to the
Belgians. The need of such aid is
very urgent and the Red Cross
Chapters are asking that every
family go over their closets and gar
rets and have ready such articles OF
wearing apparel as they can donate
to this worthy purpose. Clothing is
one of the greatest needs of the
Belgian people at this time.

Merger Of Two Hotel
Companies Completed

The merger of the two hotel COM
panies in Heppner has been COM
pleted and the forces will now be
joined in the erection of one hotel.
We are informed that at a meeting
on Tuesday evening this arrange
ment was completed and the deposit
put up which closes the contract for
the Fell property on the corner
where the Star Theater is located.
Just how much more property will be
taken in, was not announced, but it
seems to be the understanding that
a frontage of at least 100 feet will be
taken over.
The two companies will now pro-
coed to organize under new cor
poration, create a new set Of stock
holders and arrange to make dirt fly
at just as early date as possible.

LOBBY TO REMAIN CLOSED.

Postmaster Richardson asks this
paper to state to the Heppner public
that the lobby at the postoftice will
remain closed during the time that
the mails are being distributed, until
such time as the city sees fit to put
a marshal on the job to keep order
and quiet. He is acting under In
structions from the Department, and
not from the city board of health,
and this step is taken only in the
interest of common decency. A lot
of youngsters are in the habit of
congregating in the lobby at mail
time and by wrestling and jostling
around, making loud talk, splitting on
the floor, ETC., they become an
absolute nuisance and disturb the
help in the office. Keep the kids and
the dogs out, restore order and
decency and the postmaster will
open up the lobby.
