v. |. NC CALEB NEW
COUNTY ROAD MASTER

AS intimated in these columns las.
week. the County Court appointed
W*L. McCaleb of Arlington as road
master for Morrow county at their
adjourned session on Saturday. Mr..
McCaleb will receive salary of 5000
per month and this will be augment
ed by the county taking care of GER
tain expenses that have been agreed
upon. Being man that has proven
his worth as read builder, we feel
that the county has made splendid
selection. Besides this, Mr.. McCaleb
is thoroughly well prepared to care
for all the road machinery and
during the season when it is i'm
practicable to be doing road work
he will look after the repairs and
have the gas engines and other
paraphernalia all in shape to keep
the work moving Mr.. McCaleb will
move to Heppner from Arlington at
once and be ready to take up his
labors.

OLD SCHOOL BUILDING
DID NOT SELL SATURDAY

A fair sized crowd gathered at the
old school building in Heppner on
Saturday afternoon and gave that
structure the "once over" prepara-
tory to offering bids at the sale
called at o'clock. Previous to the
date of the sale it had been the ex-
preston that number of parties
were ready to offer bids on the
building. but when Director Barrattt
announced the terms of sale and
began to ask for bids, he received
just two responses. One party made
a bid of $500 and this was raised
$25, at at this point 1t remained
Mr.. Barratt, after trying to get other
offers, called the sale off, as this sum
was not considered near what the
building Is worth by the School
Board. Just what will be done now
remains to be seen but the School
Board will likely proceed to sell the
at private sale to the best
possible. 1t is estimated
by different builders of the city that
the old school building contains at
least $1,000 worth of good lumber
but the question of taking down the
is what seems to stand in
the way of those who might be dis
posed to buy it. 1t will be a pretty
big task.

The Tum-a-Lum Lumber Co. are
certainly making over their newly
acquired premises in Heppner, and
when through with the job that
section of the city will not be recog.
nized by those who have not been in
town for some weeks past. H. E.
Crawford, of the head office of the
company at Walla Walla has been
in Heppner a few days this week
getting business affairs of the con-
Germ here all fixed up, and he states
to this paper that it is their inten-
tion to have in complete stock of
lumber and building materials just
as fast as they can place them on the
ground. By placing at the disposal
of the Heppner people their splendid
facilities for doing business, Mr.,
Crawford feels that there will be no
difficulty in providing right here at
home at all times for the demands
that will be made and his Company
expects to be prepared in every way
to care for the splendid business now
in prospect,

Adds To Fair Ground Property.

The County Court this week added
to the fair grounds couple OF tracts
of land that they have been using
under lease for the past several
years. One of these was taken over
from the McHaley estate for s640
and the other from the Penland
estate at $5l5. Part of this land is
now occupied by buildings belonging
to the fair association, and the bal
ance will be put in shape for storing
the machinery of the county when
the same is not in use. This latter
move is to get away from the present
quarters at the rear of the Star
theater, where the Court believes
the fire risk is too great.

LET Them STARVE? HOW
DO YOU FEEL ABOUT IT?

If you knew of a bunch of cattle
which had been left in a pasture out
here some miles, without any feed.
and you should tell some one who
could relieve them and that person
should say, LET them starve," what
would you think of him? If, in
stead of some cattle, there were a
family out here in the mountains,
mostly little children, and all of
them were sick and they had no
food and you should tell some man
about that family and he should
say. Let them starve," how would
you feel about it?
The war has brought all parts of
the earth closer to each other. We
feel that people on the other side Of
the earth are our near neighbors
And they are our neighbors. Our
brave boys went forth to die on the
battle field for the purpose CT Sc
curing life and liberty for some Of
these people. We are proud Of the
record they made on the battle
field. We have poured our money
out in a golden stream to help bring
the war to successful conclusion.
We are not sorry.
Among the people We have helped
to liberate are those of the Near
East. Four million of these people
are slowly but surely going to their
graves unless help reaches them very
soon. Among these are 100000
orphans. Morrow County is asked
to adopt $50 of these little, starving
children until spring comes over
there. 1t will cost $1,000 to save
the life of one of these children.
Every cent will go where it is
needed, for the expenses have al
ready been guaranteed by men like
Ben Selling, Just as surely as you
pay $1,000 toward this work, you
will save life. One Morrow
County man has adopted three of
these children. Others are taking
care of one. One small church has
sent in enough to provide for two
and half enough for another. Will
you take care of five of them? OIL
three? OF one or two? II you are not
able to take care Of one, can't you
help little? Send your check to J.
]. Nys, Heppner. DO NOT LET
THEM STARvE.

Continued Work In Red Cross

| Mrs. Russell Catlin who is in Seat
tie attending meeting of Red Cross
workers, and who is at the head Of
the knitting department of Willamette
chapter, writes as follows from Seat
tie
"After meeting and talking with
those who have given much thought
and all of their time to Red Cross work
and hearing them explain the dire
need for our best efforts along the line
of refugee knitting, we wish to urge
everyone who can, to come and help
with out knitting allotment
"Under the present arrangement 70
per cent of all materials, yarns includ,
ed, are to be shipped abroad-knitting
factories here in the United States are
helping to their full capacities, but
10000 children in Siberia alone are
orphans without clothing. Since it is
planned to have the present allotment
fully completed by June LIST, and in all
probability there will be no further de-
mand on the time of the knitters, we
feel that certain of those who have
worked so faithfully in the past will
respond generously to our call for help.
and make a special effort to fill our
final quota of knitted garments.
