Queer Burial Custom,

Among the Indians of Alaska liv-
ing along the rock-bouEd coast of the
Boring sea many old customs prevail.
and It Is still believed that when a
mar dies he must pass forward
through four successive stages before
no reaches heaven. Thus his mourn
ers and family must spend four days
and nights In chanting songs or tell
ing of his virtues and must eat only
the foods Of which he was fond. At
the end Of that time the body Of the
dead man is wrapped into a bundle
and Is hauled up through the roof
by strong ropes that the corpse may
not pass through any door used by
the living. Cremation follows and the
ashes are put into a bag and stored In
the great wooden chests which fll
the family grave house"
In the old days these ceremonies OF
those four days were very elaborate,
and the songs and chants used strlk-
ing In their solemnity. Now, how
v much has been modernlzed, but
they still dislike the thought Of en-
tering a door through which q body
has been carried.

streets, they no doubt would like
to have as easy a task as they did
the last time they moved.
Mr.. Coffey sold his interest in the
firm to T. H. Bisbee in 1890 and the
firm name of Gillian & Bisbee dates
fom that time. Upon the death of
Mr.. Bisbee several years ago, his
SON, L. E. Bisbee became the junior
partner of the firm.
Like many other famous and we'll
known afinities such as tried and
true, brave and bold, etc., Gillian
& Bisbee is a household phrase
which is about as commonplace in
the regular run of every day life as
day and night. In other words its one
of our institutions. 1t has been
here to serve our wants since long
before the advent of many of US in
to this world.
So it is with equal pride that the
people of Heppner look to the beau
tiful new two story brick and con-
crete building up on the corner,
where the pioneer firm will be serv-
ing their customers shortly after the
first of the year. 1t is the largest
building in the town which is de-
voted exclusively to one firm
and one Of the g e st in
Eastern Oregon. 1t stands as a
monument to the business integrity
of the firm who brought it to a reali'
cation and it adds thousands of dol
lars to the value of the town.

Bonds Go Begging

San Francisco, Cal.-More than
$4,000 worth Of First Liberty Loan
Bonds, with accrued interest amount

al Reserve Bank Of San Francisco.
The bank has had the bonds for over
two years, and Is anxious that their
owners, who were given Interim Ger
twifcates in lieu of the Bonds during
the First Loan, surrender the Certif-
icates at once in exchange for the
Bonds.
At the time Of the First Liberty
Loan the actual bonds were not
ready for distribution, and Interim
Certificates we're issued. These,
however, bear no interest, so that
persons throughout the Twelfth Fed

Away back there in the early days
of Heppner's commercial life the
founders of the firm of Gillian &
Bisbee, local hardware merchants,
were forced to move out of the place
they had been doing business. Pro-
gress in building has destined that
their location should be taken by a
new brick bidding for the First Ma
tional Bank. The firm at that time
was Gillian & Coffey, the business
having been established in 1887 by
Frank Gillian and ]. W. Coffey. Mr..
Coffey later sold his interest to T. H.
Bisbee.
The first move was made when
the wooden building in which the
firm was housed, was moved from
the corner where the First National
now stands, into the street. After
continuing under adverse circum-
stances for awhile, Messrs. Gillian
G. Coffey moved their stock Of
goods into the brick building adioin-
ing the bank. The transfer Of mer-
chandise was made with the aid of
a w%heelbarrow. AS Mr.. Gillian
explains it, the job of moving at
that time was not a big one, as the
stock carried at that time was very
small in comparison with present
day stock.
Now as the firm is about to move
into their magnificent new quarters

bOARDMAN HAS A
100000 SCHOOL
BY NJ. b. Signs, Secretary Of Com
mercial Club and Principal OF
Boardman Schools.

To one who visited the Boardman
community three years ago and
again today, the changes for the bet
ter are almost unbelievable. The
town itself has trebled in size and
continues to grow rapidly. The To-
cation is almost ideal, bordering, as
II does, the beautiful Columbia
which can be seer in its silvery beau
ty for several miles up and down
from the town. Opposite the village
are two islands in the river, which
offer opportunity for a pleasure re-
sort as well as farming possibilities.
IL is contemplated that a launch will
be placed in service and many pleas
ure trips will then be possible. Fol-
lowing the river bank, the O.-W. R. &
N. Co, and the Pacific highway give
excellent transportation facilities.
In a business way the community
has three grocery stores, hardware

lumber company, feed store, garages,
barber shop and hotel, with openings
for a rooming house, restaurant,
drug store, doctor, and bank.
There are a goodly number OF
community organizations including
the Grange, Commercial Club, Farm
Bureau, church ladies' aid, Parent
Teachers Association and schooi.
The Grange works principally for
the interests Of its members and the
organization has had considerable in
fiuence in community affairs. The
Commercial Club, which includes
membership from both town and
country, has also done a great deal
for community development. Both
are working for the good Of the
whole, and the town helps the coun-
try, and the country helps the town.
Farm lands tributary to a good town
are often many times more valuable
than those not SO located. The town
boosts good roads just as the farmer
does, not simply to help the town
but to help the community and no
one profits more by good roads than
the farmer, and no n likes TO tray
ell them more. The same might be
said OF most questions that arise.
The Farm Bureau is the latest or
ganization to take up the work Of
community advancement. The sec
ond meeting was held on Monday,
December 9Th, at the community
church and the organization perfect

ed. We predict that The Farm Bur-
eau, with its local, country, and state
and national organizations will be
the most helpful, not only for the
farmer but for the community and
national development.
There is also a fine little commun-
ity church with a Sunday school every
Sunday, and a ladies' aid society.
Just at present we are without a
pastor, but steps are being taken to
remedy that just as soon as possible.
The sentiment of the community Is
such that a strong church can be
built up.
The growth of the schools, too, is
a good criterion for the growth OF
the community. Three years ago, a
rough, clapboard shack housed a.
bout six pupils. We now have a fine
mission style building, PA feet long
and SO feet wide, with a full base
ment. The building contains, on
the lower floor, class rooms, office,
library, all connected by wide, we'll
lighted halls. Above is the audit
orium with a seating capacity Of 800.
Below is found rooms for manual
training, domestic science, cafeteria,
sewing, general science as we'll as a
special dining room for training stu
dents in house work. and also a large
room for community dinners. The
building is heated with a $4,000
plant of the latest type, and electric
lights and water are supplied by a
special pressure system costing
$2500. The total cost of the build
ing will be close to $4,000. The
Auditorium has connections for a
moving picture machine and a stage
Equipped for service.
Among other special features of
the plant might be mentioned the
blackboard arrangement, whereby
the boards may be raised into the
walls, allowing the teacher full su-
pervision of the cloak rooms during
intermissions. The plan of the halls
is such that one teacher can super
wise the whole floor. There will be
athletic grounds, decorated terraces,
play grounds, school garden, tennis
courts, broad lawns and cement
walks to beautify the ten-acre plat OF
which the building forms the center,
The library facilities are unexcelled.
Twenty five hundred volumes and
some thirty periodicals afford refer
ence and entertainment facilities for
the school and community. The pu-
pills are brought in with trucks and
this service will be vastly improved
next year with larger trucks, better
equipped. With the proposed i'm.
provement of the roads of the dis
trict it will be one of the pleasures
of the day for the pupils to step into
a commodious motor truck and in a
few minutes arrive at school for
their work In such a plant where
the latest appliances and equipment
assist them in preparing for life's
work.
One Of the chief factors in the i'm
%provement Of the schools has been
the Parent-Teachers Association,
They have monthly meetings with
helpful programs where vital ques-
lions Of home and school and child
welfare are discussed, and plans for

LARGE CONSUMPTION OF
 CoEEEE DESPITE HIGH PRICES

Whether prohibition has or has not increased the use of coffee, it is ht least a fact that the people of the United States are now consuming more coffee than has been their GUS tom and paying far greater sums for IL una.l ev,. before. A statemen1 Dy The National City Bank of Newe4 ork shows that the quantity of coffee brought into4th United States in the calendar year 1913 will probably Se greater than ever before notwith- standing the fact that the cost is about three times as much per poNad as formerly. The imports for the ten months ending with October ar- proximate 1,140,000,000 bounds against 940,000,000 pounds in the same months of last year, and 1,122, 100000 pounds in the corresponding months of 1917, the former high record year in impor- tation.
 In fact, says the banks statement, the people of the United States are consuming this year over one-half of the worlds coffee crop. The total crop of the world for the coffee year 191S-1s is, acording to the latest available figures, slightly less than 14,000,000 bags (of 1S2 pounds per bag). while the quantity entering the United States in the ten months of 1919, for which figures are available. is slightly more than S,000,000 bags, and' while the quantity re-exported during the full year may reach a half million bags, it is apparent that the coffee consumption in the United States in the calendar year 1919 will be more than 50 per cent. of the worlds production in the crop year 1s1S-1s, which was, however, but I [, l. fla tt,A sa-i,, ,e+T bags again.t 1S,S47,600 in 1917-1a
 Per capita consumption despite the fact that the cost is now nearly three times. as great as formerly, is running very high, and may break the re- cord" in the calendar year 1919. The average consumption which was slightly less than five pounds per capita in the period 1S61-70; eight and one half pounds per capita in the pe- riod 1S91-5; about nine and one half pounds per capita in the period
 1906-12, has averaged over ten pounds per capita since 1912, and seems likely to be fully twelve pounds per capita in 1919, irrespective or the question of cost. The average i'm offic, al figures of the department of port price of coffee, according to the l Commerce, as in August 1919, the 1 latest official record, 21.Sc ,psr pound as against 9.4c per pound iii August

 The stated value of the coffee i'm ported in the eight months ending with August. 1919 is $15e,000 00G

MOTOR MANUFACTURE DEVoTEs
 ATTENTION TO HEATERS

One of the outstanding features of motor car production this season is the trend toward car heaters, Twenty mo- tor car manufa cturers are equipping all or part of their line of closed cars with car heaters. t9
 This may be regarded as an indica- tion that before long a heater will be considered as a necessary part of standard equipment to the same ex- tent as starter.
 Comfort being one of the principal features of owner interest car heaters are certain to have a strong appeal to car owners and influence their deci- sion in prchasing car
 Closed cars particularly have always been sold on the basis of comfort and an-year use. Inasmuch as warmth is essential to comfort in fall and winter, the argument is advanced that a non- heated automobile is very much like a house without furnace and depend. ent only on it's walls and roof for pro-, tection.

TRADING LIBERTY BONDS FOR FRAUDULENT STOCKS

Washington. Nov. 27.-Indications that large numbers of liberty bond holders are trading their government Securities for stock in fraudulent ven lures prompted Secretary Glass to re- new tonight his recent warning to bond holders against being persuaded into such exchanges. In a formal statement Mir. Glass asserted that the high rate; of return upon some of these stocks was in itself sufficient to arouse suspicion.
 ' Where Liberty bond holders are urged to give up their securities for stocks of Speculative cfraracter." he said, good sense suggests the pre- sumptioni that the offer is made be- cause the Liberty bonds are worth de- cidediy more than the stock. Experi- 'ehce in 8 great number of cases shows that the stock is worthless. and the bond owner who makes the exchange is simply another victim to the army of ssharpers who find easy booty in these days of reckless speculation. ! Self interest and good business Judgment should decide in favor of ] the holding of Liberty bonds"
