LIBRARY WILL
BE STARTED

The rehabilitation Of the Heppner
Library is at hand, and that very
useful institution will be given new
lease of life Immediately. The
ladies met on Saturday and COM
pleted their plans and We are re-
Quested to call on the public in their
behalf for the donation of books. A
committee was appointed by Mrs.
VanVactor, president of the associa-
ton, to make selections of pew books
to be paid for out of the funds the
association have on hand, and book
cases will be installed for the time
being in the lobby of the Masonic
building for the accommodation of
all the books. 1t is hoped that the
ladies will be able to shortly restore
the library to the place it occupied
before the fire of last May destroyed
their fine collection of books and
periodicals. If you have any books
that you wish to pass along. hand
them in to the librarian and thus
help in the work of getting the
Heppner Library established again.

HOTEL MERGER
IS IN PROSPECT
Heppner Hotel Co. and Heppner I'm.
prOvement Co. Negotiating for
Central Location, and Pool
ing of Interest.

This paper is informed that there
Is now a good prospect that the Hepp-
ner Hotel Co. and Heppner Improve
ment Co. will come together on the
proposition of putting up hotel in
this city.
The ho' el question has had time to
quite fully mature during the past
few wee 5, aud TINS has brought
about the rather natural sequence,
one gots hotel. The two companies
have seemed to have in mind the
thought that Heppner must have a
hotel and that the capital of the city
must be brought Together to build it.
Acting upon this premise, two com
panies Were formed and the work of
raising this capital was started. 1t
has seemed that two hotels would be
the result. but as stated before, opin-
ion has been rlpening on the question
and 1t has come to the point where
the companies themselves feel that
the only right thing to do is to secure
a centrally located lot, pool their in
terests and put up one hotel.
While We cannot announce defin-
itely that the merger has been made.
as we understand there are a few
points yet to be worked out, yet it is
quite safe 10 predict that this will be
the result The property belonging
to Mrs, George Fell of Pendleton, ON
the corner where the Star Theater
now stands will be taken over, this
having frontage Of 62 feet, and to
this they wish to add 20 feet more
from +. g. Noble, This is the lo>a-
ton now being negotiated for, but as
yet the deal has not been fully COM
pleted. We shall be pleased to be
able to make definite announcement
regarding this merger in our next is

STARVING PEO-
PIE NEED HELP

The week from February 23 to
March has been chosen as the time
for America to make an offering to
save the starving Armenians and
others of the Near East" For
political and economic reasons Con
gress has appropriated s100,000,00O
to save the starving of Europe. And
the people of our happy land are re-
Quested to raise $50, 100000 to keep
these others from death for want of
iood. Schools, churches, lodges and
individuals are requested to take
this up in earnest. Not a person in
Morrow county will know what it
is to suffer from want of food this
winter, and as we sit down to our
well-loaded tables shall we forget
the thousands who without our help
must die of starvation? Some very
handsome contributions are coming
in Send your share to Jos. Nys,
treasurer of the fund, and every
cent will go to save a life.

To Organize Band.

With the assistance of the Civic
League of Heppner, Roy Cochran is
undertaking to get band started
in this city, He has been soliciting
old band men, as we'll as new pros
poets, and feels much encouraged
with his efforts so far. The need of
band in the city has appealed to
people here from year to year, and
1t has been realized that we were
behind the times in not having such
an organization. Mr.. Cochran would
be much pleased at this time to get in
touch with all those who would be
interested in joining bard and
those who have instruments. Let him
know what you have and what your
desires are. 1t is hoped that an or
ganization can be completed prompt
ly, in order that it may be in shape
to handle the music for the coming
County Fair. A good band for Hepp-
ner will receive the proper encour-
agement at the hands of our citizens
and business men, we are sure.

County Agent Brown held a squir-
rel poisoning demonstration at Nor
gan on Saturday last. About twenty
farmers Of that section were present
and gathered valuable information
from the County Agent.
In this connection we have been
requested to publish the following
directions for poisoning ground
squirrels, issued by the United
States Department of Agriculture
and coming from the Bureau of
Biological Survey, Washington, D.
c.:
Mix one tablespoonful of gloss
starch in one-half teacup of cold
water and stir into one-half pint of
boiling water to make thin, clear
paste. Mix one ounce of powdered
strychnine (alkaloid) with one ounce
of baking soda (bicarbonate) and
stir with the starch to a smooth,
creamy mass, free of Jumps. Stir
in onefourth pint of heavy corn
syrup and one tablespoonful of gly-
cerine, and finally one scant teas
poonful Of saccharine. Four table
spoonfuls of table salt added to the
boiling water before making the
starch increases the effectiveness of
the poison during crop growing
season. Apply to 20 quarts of oats
and mix thoroughly to coat each
kernel.
Each quart of poisoned grain is
sufficient for 40 to 60 bats. This
quantity, scattered Cone teaspoonful
to a place. along squirrel trails, or
on clean, hard surfaces near the
holes, will not endanger stock.
Poison may be obtained at cost by
applying at County Agents office at
Heppner.

day School activities. One school,
however, did not forget the appeal
reporting an offering of $10.25 for
