100000 Orphans In Near East
In Need Of Immediate Help

At meeting of the State Commit
tee for the Relief OF the Near East
held at Portland Sept. 2l, nr, Little
field and Dr. Witt, who recently re-
turned from the field, told Of the
terrible conditions prevailing in Ar
menia and nearby regions. The
Turks have prevented the Armenians
from returning to the Caucasus re-
gion. About 100000 of them are
still in the refugee camps and the
desert. Mr.. Hoover reports that 1t
will be impossible to reach 100000
Of these people in time to save them.
They are doomed. II they could have
returned to their homes last spring,
they could have raised food enough
to sustain them, but the brutal Turk
was still in the field, Notwithstanding
the armistice. A large portion OF the
100000 are orphans, many Of whom
do not even know their own names.
This situation means that America
will be called upon for further as
sstance However, no one who has
heard DR.. Littlefeld or Dr.. Witt
thinks that we should shut our eyes
to the needs Of these people.

ganized with Frank Maddox as cap
tain, j. L. Morrow as first lieutenant
and A, S. Wells as second lieuten-
ant. The United States government
sent box of guns and supplies
which were greatly needed, as the
people were very poorly supplied
with firearms.
Although a band of Indians did
come into town, they made no hostile
demonstration, in fact it is related
that they displayed great friendli-
ness. Just the same, they were dis
armed and placed under arrest. 1t
was about this time that one of the
squaws straddled horse and made
good her escape. There were some
of the whites at the time who thought
she should have been shot, but it
was fortunate for her and probably
for the ultimate welfare of the whites
that she was permitted to get away.
Two men by the name of Nelson
and Shelley were killed on Butter
creek, but none of the warning tribes
came near Heppner and as a result
no Heppner citizen was molested.

NEW HOTEL WILL Be
UNDER WAY soon
Stockholders Have Meeting and De-
eide to go Ahead With Construc-
tion-Money Needed Now
Practically Assured.

Heppner's new $4,000 hotel has
just about passed the visionary stage.
1t came down to a reality last Satur-
day night when 20 local citizens.
stockholders in the Heppner Hotel
Company signed up a guarantee to
raise the remaining $4,000 now nee
essary to complete the stock.
c. L. Sweek, secretary for the COM
pany, made a report of the pres
ent situation, showing that stock to
the amount Of $4,000 had already
been subscribed. AS the cost OF the
lot and building as proposed will be
$4,000 and loan company has ad-
vanced s42,000.00, conditional on
stock being subscribed locally in a
like amount, there remains yet to be
subscribed $500. Inasmuch as
there will yet be other expenses of
organization, incidentals. etc., it was
decided to guarantee an amount Of
$4,000.
There is no question but what the
remaining $4,000 will be placed
among local men in a very short
time. or If the 20 men who signed
the guarantee are left to raise the
money among themselves, it means
they will have to invest $500 apiece
above what they have already sub
scribed.

State Agent and Local Officers
Arrest Two On Liquor Charge

Last week State Agent Charles
Burden, Sheriff E NJ. Shut and Dep
uty Sheriff Gearge MeDuffee arrested
Alfred and Newt Matteson on
charge OF selling liuor. The men were
taken before Judge Alex Cornett in
the justice court and assessed a fine
OF $3.50 each. They paid the fine.
1t seems as though Mr.. Burden had
gained the confidence of the Matte
son brothers and they contracted to
deliver four gallons Of whiskey to him
at certain point on the road above
Heppner at given time last Friday
morning. When the Mattesons
arrived at their cache they were con-
fronted by the sheriff and his deputy
who got them with the goods and
brought them to town, where they
were arraigned before the local JUS
tice and received their reward at his
hands.
We understand that the district at
torney has valuable evidence in his
possession which will be placed in the
hands of the grand jury for their con-
sideration when circuit court con-
venes next month.

MORROW COUNTY CLUB
CAPTURES BLUE RIBBON

Lena Smell Shurte, county school
superintendent, returned home We'd
nesday, bringing with her the blue
ribbon which was awarded to the
Morrow County Industrial Club for
their exhibit at the State Fair.
In speaking of the Morrow county
Industrial exhibit, H. c. Seymour,
state leader of club work, said the
canned Strawberries prepared by
Virginia Hill were the best in the en-
tire project, which means the state.
Orin Hill won first prize for potatoes.
Both Virginia and Orin Hill are chill
dren of Mr.. and Mrs. w. P. Hill and
live in District "a, Leona Schmidt
of District 81, was also a prize win
ner in the sewing division.
While Boardman was awarded
first honors at the recent county fair,
much credit is due to the work of
both the Heppner and Hardman
clubs, said Mrs. Shurte. "The
work over the county is handicapped
for funds, Boardman being the only
district which finances the industrial
club work, yet under the circum-
stances, the Heppner girls canning
club made an excellent showing un-
der the direction of Mrs. Geo. Nc
Duffee and were kept out of compe-
tition at the county fair only because
the required reports were not ready. :"

R. w. Snider Takes Lease
On The Frank Bell Ranch

R. W. Snyder, prominent young
Morrow county farmer, has taken a
three-year lease on the Frank Bell
ranch on Black Horse. The Bell
ranch is considered one Of the best
in this section. Mr.. Bell has been
down from his home in Spokane the
past week putting the lease in shape.
He farmed in Morrow county and
more particularly in the Black Horse
section for thirty years, and was at
one time acquainted with nearly
every resident of Morrow county,
north, east, west and south. Since
moving to Spokane with Mrs. Bell a
few years ago, his return visits here
have been few, and as 4 result he
notes many changes. He is still a
strong booster for Morrow county.

ELECTION CALLEDIN
WATER BOND ISSUE
Engineers Report That There is Plen.
ty OF Water in Willow Creek to
Supply City-VOte on Octo-
ber Twenty-ffth.

There is plenty of water in Will
low creek for all city needs" said
Captain c. A. Smith, hydraulic engi-
neer for the firm of Burns & McDon-
aid of Kansas City, in addressing the
city council las Monday evening.
The supply is ample for years to
come and will in no manner drain the
creek of its full flow" continued Capt
Smith. Capt Smith made the pre-
hminary surveys last summer and
his report at that time was very as
surlng as to future water supplies.
his Investigations at this time, fol-
lowing one of the dryest seasons in
the history of Morrow county, shows
that there is now an ample supply.
AS the amount Of water to be TAX
en- out of Willow creek will be re-
placed by like amount from Ditch
creek, Capt. Smith also took meas
urements of water in Ditch creek and
announces very considerable flow in
that creek at the present time. 1t is
planned to divert the water from
Ditch creek to Willow creek by
means of pipe line.
In speaking of the main conduit
line from the source Of supply to
Heppner, Capt. Smith advised strong
ly against the use of concrete pipe,
saying that this kind of pipe was too
much as yet in the experimental stage
as regards manufacture and that the
city might very easily get "stung" on
that kind of pipe. Capt. Smith
strongly favors Redwood pipe. AL
though steel or cast iron pipes are
both generally accepted as good, Mr..
Smith pointed out their price made
them almost prohibitiye.
At the meeting Monday evening
the resolution calling for a special
election for the purpose of voting
100000 for the new water system
was unanimously passed and the
election will be held on the 25th of
this month.
Capt. Smith was accompanied to
Heppner by Mr. Hickey, an experiene-
ed engineer who has had charge OF
construction of gravity system at
Everett, Washington for number of
years. He will remain in Heppner
as resident engineer for Burns & Nc
Donald during the construction of
the water system.

OLD FORT HEPPNER IS

Indian History is Recalled When
Posts Buried in 1878 Are Dug
Up.-Built for Protection of
Women and Children at
Time of Indian Scare.

In July of the year 1878 Eastern
Oregon was set agog with excitement
through an Indian scare which for a
time gave i'll foreboding to its citi-
zens. All old timers in this section
recall that scare, In fact many of
them have never forgotten it, so
deeply was the impression Of danger
upon their minds at that time. For
tunately for Heppner and Morrow
county people, the trouble passed
over with nothing more than a scare
and the Indians were later put to
complete rout at some distant sec
tion of the Northwest
This ancient history was brought
freshly back last week, when work.

Elks building on Main street uncov-

which was erected at the beginning
of the Indian scare of 1878.
A great many families had left

scare, which was precipitated thru a
movement of the Snake River In
dians and other tribes, who had set
out with intent to meet the Umatillas,
unite with other bands and make a
cleanup in the Northwest Of all the
white people.
Fortunately, the plans of the In
dams were tipped off TO General How

mucca. All East Oregonians should
hold her name sacred, if history is
correct, for it was her information
which probably prevented whole

Inasmuch as the proposed plans of
the redskins led the mthrough Hepp-

was caused. 1t was at once deter
