FIRE DESTROYS D,
BROWNS HOME

The home of Orve Brown i'm
Albina addition to Heppner, was
totally destroyed by fire on Tuesday
morning. The blaze evidently started
from a defective fue and the entire
upper story was ablaze before being
discovered by Mrs. Brown, conse-
iuently there was no chance to save
anything from upstairs. The alarm
was promptly given and in short
order a force of fighters were on the
scene from down town and were able
70 get everything out of the lower
part of the house and the cellar.
The house being located outside OF
the fire limits, there was no chance
to get water and the building was
entirely consumed. The residence
of Nick Hall, next door, was also
threatened, and was only saved be-
cause of the favorable direction of
the wind. Mr.. Browns loss is partly
covered by insurance in the sum Of
$4,000.

MOTORISTS DEMAND ZERO COLD
TEST OILS
Western Lubricants Preferred.


Gold weather has brought a large
and appreciative demand for the ma
tural zero cold test oils derived from
California crude of the naphthene
SERIES" said Geo. W. Milholland,
Special Agent of the Standard Oil
Company yesterday.
"These oils eliminate many Of the
troubles of cold weather motoring be-
cause they contain no paraffine to
thicken and CONCEAL In the cold and
their fuidity at ALI temperatures
down to zero keeps the motor flexible
and easy to turn over during cold
weather. They insure correct lubri-
cation Of the automobile right from
the first turn of the motor.
"Oils that CONCEAL in cold weather
bind the moving parts, make starting
difIiiult and put an unnatural strain
on the battery. Besides this such oils
do not regain their tluidity and
begin to lubricate properly until they
have been warmed by the engine
running for some fifteen to thirty
minutes without proper fabrication,
during which time excessive friction
is present and serious wear takes
place. Motorists are avoiding this
danger and annoyance by using
.Zerolene which is refined from Cali
fornia crude of the naphthene series
and has a natural zero cold test. 1t
flows freely down to zero tenn
perature."

ON a fraction over $14,000,000 of
assessable property. This will be
matched by the state, dollar for dol

also to get as much more as the
county and state put into the fund
from the National funds, available
Tor post roads and forest roads. And
all this money can be had during the
coming two or three years.
Mr.. Stewart made it plain, how
ever, that there was no use going to
the Highway Commission for money
on any of our roads unless the county
first put up their share, and it was
made clear that the best procedure
was the bond issue, and this for an
amount just as large as we were able
to get.
In order to get prompt action on
this matter, a committee consisting

and E. M. Shut, of Heppner, W. G.

grand success. The program was very
much appreciated, especially the song
by Mr.. and Mrs. Glenn Ball. The
boxes all sold for good prices, none
going for less than $500. However,
Miss Nellie Hart proved to be the
most popular young lady present, her
box bringing $14.0O. The total
proceeds of the sale Of the boxes was
$195, and the money will be used to
buy folding seats and other equip

MORROW COUNTY WILL HAVE A CON.
STRUCT|VE ROAD BUILDING PROGRAM

Y If the sentiment manifested in an
enthusiastic and unanimous manner
by the large number of citizens
gathered at the |. o. 0. F. hall on
last evening to listen to Jas. S.
Stewart, when the proposition of
bonding for roads was put up to
them, is a criterian to go by, there
Is going soon to be adopted one of
the best and biggest road programs
ever dreamed of in this county.
Mr.. Stewart was here primarily
Tor the purpose of talking in the in
terests of the Oregon State Chamber
of Commerce, and to enlist .our
citizens in behalf of that organiza-
tion. The big drive for membership
will be on the coming week, and it
was the object of Mr.. Stewart to get
in touch with the different COM
munities of the county and prepare
them for the work of gathering in
the membership. Morrow county has
been apportioned a membership of
155 which means paying into the
treasury of the State Chamber the
sum of 1925. AS a matter of fact,
the membership is not limited to
155 and we can go over that number
Just as far as we please, but this is
the goal set, and we should be in the
State organization to this extent,
When the point was reached call
ing for subscribers to the member
ship roll, w. G. Scott stepped for
ward and guaranteed Lexington S
portion. This was followed by some
27 people signing up for Heppner
and then the motion was put and
carried that those who had signed up
stand responsible for the entire
Morrow county quota. In this man
ner the membership of Morrow
county is underwritten, and Mr..
Stewart Immediately informed state
headquarters of the action taken.
The membership drive will now be
and should be put over
this coming week without difficulty
Mr.. Stewart makes no pretensions
to oratory, and his talk was plain
and to the point. He is good roads
He had not been in
Heppner long until he was riding his
hobby, and he soon found a splendid |
sentiment here in favor of a broad |
and comprehensive road program
Being we'll informed with regard to
all road legislation, both state and
national, and having a lot of exper-
ence the past three years In dealing
with the State Highway Commission,
and succeeding In securing much
money for roads in Wheeler county
and Grant county, Mr., Stewart
speaks with authority ON this subject.
It only seemed necessary for him to
outline the plans by which wa can
,ome into possession of both state
Ind national aid, to get the support
,f Heppner citizens for a road pro-
gram, and they received the prop
,sition with enthusiasm.
The unanimous expression of the
Meeting was in favor of bonding
Morrow county to the limit, which

Might Have Proved Very Disastrous.

A feature of the fire on Tuesday
forenoon, wherein the residence of
orve Brown was destroyed, de-
Veloped after it was all over, that
might have proved very disastrous.
1t was discovered that quite a num-
Der Of sticks of dynamite and also
some caps had been stored away
near the roof of the woodshed. At
one time this building was seriously
threatened, and an attempt was
made to move it out of reach of the
flames, but it could not be budged.
In this attempt two trucks were
hooked up to the building, and there
We're a number of men on top of it
and round about, and should dis
turbance have been made sufficient
to explode one of the dynamite caps,
some fifty people might have been
blown into kingdom come. No warn
ing had been given of the presence
OF the explosive, and those at work
In saving the building thus had their
lives placed in jeopardy and stood
in very grave danger. The storing
OF explosives of this nature about
the premises is very dangerus
thing, and 1t was only by the merest
chance in this instance that an ap-
palling accident was avertcd.

SCHOOL,
ACTIVITIES

II. H. S. carried off the champion
ship basket ball game last Saturday
night. However, the margin was
very narrow, the score being 13 to
II, and we do not claim to have the
lone boys outclassed in this sport to
a very great extent. The game was
very well attended by rooters for
both teams and the spectators were
indeed afforded a rare treat, as the
game was hard contest throughout
and not until the time keepers
whistle announced the finish did any,
one know which side was the victor.
Both teams used the same lineup as
before and Red" O'Rourke upheld
his reputation as a fair and compe
tent referee, by showing absolute i'm
partiality. The gate receipts for the
game totaled S4S.10.
Miss Struck's domestic science
class added one more laurel to it's
already overtlowing wreath of glory
IN the preparation of the banquet
rendered the Board of Education last
Tuesday evening. From current ru-
mors they got the honorable mem
bers Of the board in such good humor
that they promised many good things
for the school the coming year So,
mot saying that the board was likely
to be otherwise inclined, but know
ing them to be pretty fond of good
eats) we can safely say that the ban
quet must have been excellent. How
ever, we have verbal proof that it
was more than excellent.
Among the things which have been
promised for next year is the re-es-
tablishment of the manual training
department, which has been diScon-
tinued for the past two years on ac-
count of the scarcity of instructors in
that department.
Those present at the banquet were
d. W. Boitnott, our superintendent.
and wife, w. G. McCarty, chairman
of the board, and wife: w. B. Barratt,
member, and wife; C. Z. Woodson,
Vawter Crawford, clerk, and wife;
L. E. Bisbee, recently retired chair
man, and wife.
In a double header basketball
game last evening in which the girls
and boys teams of the grammar
school contested the teams of the
Freshie girls and boys, fair exhibi-
tion of skill was shown. The grad
ers, however, were little light and
were defeated in both games, the
score of the girls game being to
2, and that of the boys IA to 10.
The third number of the lyceum
course will be presented at the High
School Auditorium tomorrow night |
by the Warwicks, male quartet of |
reputed exceptional talent. This
number is said to be the best in the |
course, and from the nature of the
former numbers the people of Hepp-
ner can look for rare treat in this
number. The price of admission will
be 35 cents for students and children
and rs cents for adults.
Before the game last Saturday
night the members of the lone ond
H. H. S. basket ball teams and friends
were rendered banquet at the
school house. AS many of the guests
were late the time for enjoyment of
the affair was cut short because OF
the scheduled time of the game. How
ever a good time was had while it
lasted and tirmer friendship was es-
tablished between these age old enc
mics. Features of the evening We're
music and eats to which no amount
of this space can do justice.
