Departs With Perfectly Good
Cuticle.

Volunteering to the sacrifice Of
80 square inches of perfectly good
skin, Earl w Gordon of this city,
who is at present attending a school
of pharmacy in Portland, submitted
to an operation at the hands of Drs.
Aiken and Berkeley at hospital in
Portland the past week. The opera
tion was no picnic and Earl has
found that getting over it is just as
uncomfortable as though he were
recovering from the effects of a very
severe burn. The doctors had under
their care young orphan boy who
had been badly injured and required
the grating of 100 square inches of
skin. Volunteers were called for,
and Earl, with another fellow
student contributed so square in
ctes. This orphan lad was run over
by train and had one leg cut off,
and later was playing with gasoline
and severly burnt the other leg. The
lad was 8 years old.

Harold Cohn Takes Interest in Nc
Roberts Garage.

Harold Cohn this week purchased
an interest In the w. T. McRoberts
garage and the firm is now known as
the McRoberts-Cohn Auto Co. AS
the name implies, the new firm, be-
sides conducting the largest garage

ed just as rapidly as possible, and

of auto repair work.
This new firm should be the means
of creating lot of business in the
auto line in Heppner, as Mr. Cohn
has had some considerable expert
ence as an auto salesman and he will
push this end of the business. Mr.
McRoberts, who has successfully en-.
gagged in the livery business In Hepp.
ner for number of years past, has q
lot of friends throughout the county

Henry Pleiss Dies of Influenza.

Henry Pleiss, young farmer living
near Heppner, was brougt to town
on Saturday. suffering a severe attack
of influenza. He was taken to the
hospital and placed under the care
of physician and competent nurse
and all that was possible was done
to save him but the disease had taken
too firm a hold and he passed away
on Sunday night. Funeral services
were held at the grave on Tuesday
afternoon. Rev. H. A. Noyes offici-
ating. Mrs. Pleiss, who is the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Albert
Osmin, is also sick with influenza
and was down at the same time with
her husband at their home some few
miles south of Heppner. She is re.
ported as getting along well at
present. Mr.. Pleiss leaves $4,000
insurance which he secured early in
the summer.

Council Makes Offer to Mr.. Gates.

In constellation of taking over the
interest of the Heppner Light &
Water Company in the city water
plant. the council, at special meet
ing on Monday night decided to
tender an offer of $4,000 to H. v.
Gates, president of the Company.
Mr.. Gates had before the council
for their consideration, a proposition
to sell the city his interests in the
plant, which proposition was pub
lished in these columns last week.
The council in the meantime had
taken time to get at the sentiment
of the people of the town with
regard to municipality owned water
system, and so they have put this
offer up to Mr.. Gates, for his accept
ance or refusal. He has not been
heard from. and it is likely that
when he is the offer will be turned
! down. 1t gets the matter up for con-
sideration, however, and the council
can proceed along other lines should
Mr.. Gates refuse the proposal.
There seems to be a pretty we'll
defined attitude on the part of the
city to tackle the water proposition
with view to taking it over and
owning it exclusive of all private in
diyiduals. The council is getting
warmed up to the fact that we must
secure an abundant and pure water
supply, and the indications are that
they and Mr.. Gates will get together
and that before a great while a deal
will be consummated whereby the
city will take over the entire owner
ship of the water plant, and it is not
improbable that it will include the
electric plant also. In this good
work We shall hope to see the
council receive the undivided support
of the citizens of the town,

A DEBT TO HEROES
The Fifth Liberty Loan will be
known as the Victory Loan.

The Fifth Liberty Loan will be
known as the Victory Loan.
Victory is not merely a matter OF
publication, accepting surrender of a
beaten foe and dropping the gun to
take up the plow share in the furrow
where it stood when the call to arms
came.
The Victory Loan is one of the
many great obligations that come to
the victors, President Woodrow
Wilson and the members of the
American peace delegation are now
in France looking after the world
obligations Our part now is. to
prepare to pay in small measure the
debt we owe our khaki and blue clad
champions.
A large part of the money to be
raised in the Victory Loan campaign
next April will be used for the re.
habilitation of our wounded men
The government will do its utmost
to restore every wounded American
soldier and sailor to health and self
supporting activity.
When the wounded man has beer
given complete medical and surgica
| treatment he will be considered b,
the Federal Board for Vocationa
Education. If his disability prevent!
return to work he left at the call o
the government a wide choice o
occupation is open to him.
If the injured man needs al
artificial limb or appliance of an!
sort the government will provide it
Until his special treatment or train
ing ends he will receive regular com
pensation and the family vii
receive the allotments. The wa
risk insurance will be paid until thu
end of the vocational training if thu
course is elected without necessity
but in this case the allotments will
not be paid the family.
Instead of finding dependent Grip
pies and beggars made so by an un
appreciative country, they will b,
highly trained heroes whose sacri
fees will not be tarnished by lack o
gratitude.
Ii you are worth victory prepare
now TO buy Victory Bonds.

MET DEATH WITH SMILE

S. E. Notson is in receipt of
'atter from ". S Wharton this week
that gives short description of the
engagement in which his SON. Willie,
was killed. For a long time il was
impossible for Mr. Wharton to learn
Il the cause OF his sons death and
the description comes from a soldier
companion in the battle with Willie,
who is now in the hospital at Camp
Lewis recovering from wounds re-
ceiyed at the same time. This sol
dier is Stephen Maks and his COM
pany and the cne Billie was with
were attached to the Fifth Army
Corps the latter part of June. 1t
was on the 18th of July in the
Chateau Thierry sector where Billie
fell Maks states that they were in
the front line trenches, when they
knew that they were to go forward
the next day. While cleaning their
rifles and sharpening their bayonets
Billie remarked This old rifle is
going to make daylight through some
German tomorrow. At 4;30 they
were ordered over the top, and had
to fight their way inch by inch till
they had gone about seven miles.
Just at 7 o'clock they encountered
a terrific machine gun fire. They
were ordered to fall to their knees,
and just at this time Billie observed
a German at his left and shot him.
AS he was ducking to his knees
shot went through his heart and he
treeled back and fell in Mak's arms
When asked if he was hurt, Billie
smiled but did not speak, and being
asked again ii anything could be done
for him, Billie smiled again without
saying a word, and he died with this
smile On his face. Maks states that
just an hour later he received a shot
that took his arm off at the shoulder
and another shell took off his knee
cap. He further states that during
the day of July 18th more than half
of the 5th Army Corps was cut down
like grass. All day and all night
they fought with the Germans de-
termined not to yield ground. The
18th, 18th and especially the 18th
was probably the hardest fought
battles during any part Of 1918. 1t
was the turning point that sent the
German army backward, and kept
going ever thereafter. Mr.. Wharton
further states that the last letter
they received from Billie was on
June 14h, and he was then on his
way to the front. He stated that he
! had made up his mind that he was
going through and coming back to
the good old States again. If he was
killed he was going to try and get at
least 10 Germans before they got
him. Mr.. Wharton says I'VE are
proud that he has been part OF
the Allied Armies that have brought
safety, peace and honor to the
world.

THE FEDERATED CHURCH.

The usual services may be expected
next Sunday and if schools open on
Monday, January Goth or before
there will be no need of masks on
Sunday the 18th. In case the
situation should become worse so
that school does not open Monday,
Sunday School will not be held on
Sunday but regular church services
will be held. So far as wearing masks
is concerned, IL men will endure the
inconvenience of mask for the sake
of game of cards 1t ought not to be
considered great sacrifice for the
sake of maintaining religious ser
vices. Nurses wear masks, the SOL
diers wore not only the ordinary but
the much more uncomfortable gas
masks. and if this pestilence
should continue with us for some
time we may as we'll get used to
them first as last.

Mrs. Turner's Sister Seriously
Injured.

Mrs. Frank Turner received a
message from Monument Thursday
of last week stating that her sister,
Mrs. l.. D. Swick, who lives near
there was seriously hurt on the
previous day. by load of wood over
turning and pinning her beneath the
wagon seat. Mrs, Swick and her
youngest son, Dewey, were in the
wagon when it ran off a narrow place
in the road and upset, The boy
managed to jump and hold the
horses but Mrs. Swick was caught
by the wagon seat and narrowly
escaped death. She was not only
rendered unconscious but suffered
the break of collar bone, one arm,
one rib, sprained ankle and a
severe cut about the head. Dr.
Johnson of Long Geek was called
and attended Mrs. Swick but she
is still in a very critical condition
Her son Howard, who has been
stationed at Camp Lewis, was called
home Sunday to be at his mother s
bedside. He has not received his
discharge, however, and will have to
return to the camp for that as soon
as his mother is able for him to
leave.

SCHOOL CLOSED
TILL FEBRUARY
,ity Board of Health Clamps Lid
Down Tight.

The City Board of Health has
clamped the lid down tight on the
public school until the first Monday
in February, and then it will depend
altogether on how the flu situation
is whether permission will be grant
ed to take up the work.
This is made necessary if the
epidemic is stamped out, as it is
hoped it may be within the next
week. A very few new cases are re-
ported now and most of those
afflicted are recovering, but with
children, as with older ones, days of
convalescense are drawn out and
entire recovery is a slow progress.
Many pupils have returned to their
studies in an unfit condition and
soon take down again with the result
ofentimes that the second attack is
much worse than the first. Also,
these convalesents are what is known
as carriers of the disease and expose
others. Owing to these facts it is
thought best to keep the lid on for
at least couple of weeks more, and
ihen some, if found necessary.
This announcement is made by the
full authority of the City Board of
Health, who met on Tuesday after
noon for the purpose of canvasing
the situation, and this is their
decision.

FIRST NATIONAL
MAKES CHANGES
Annual Meeting Held on Tuesday
Frank Gillian is Chosen Vice
President and John Kilkenny
Director.

The annual meeting of the First
National Bank of Heppner was held
on Tuesday at their banking rooms
in Heppner and some changes were
made in the personnel of the board
of directors and officers of the insti-
tuition. ]. b. Natter resigned as one
of the vice presidents and A. l..
Ayres retired from the board Of
directors.
The affairs of the First National
were found 10 be in very excellent
shape and the past year has been a
prosperous one for this institution
which has grown to be one of the
very strongest banks in Eastern
Oregon
Mr.. Natter, who resigns from the
vice presidency of the bank, has been
connected with the institution as a
stockholder almost from the time it
was organized. He was elected vice
president in July, 1909 and has
served in that capacity and as direc-
tor of the bank continuously ever
since, proving himself to be an eX-
cellent advisor in financial affairs.
He is still continued on the board of
directors but owing to feeble health
he has asked to be relieved of fur
ther official responsibility. Mr.
Natter, because f his long residence
in Heppner, and his ability as a
fiancier, has been a valuable assistant
in directing the affairs of the First
National through all the long years
of its business career in this com.
munity.
Mr.. A. l.. Ayres has continued as
director of the bank for the past
sixteen years, and his retirement
from the official board at this time
is accepted by the stockholders with
the knowledge that his services have
always been greatly appreciated, and
that much of the success attained
= can be attributed to his helpful
advice.
Frank Gillian was chosen to take
the place of Mr.. Natter as vice
president and the place of Mr., Ayers
has been filled by the election o.
John Kilkenny on the board Of
directors.
Mr.. Kilkenny has had no par
ticular experience in conducting
bank affairs, yet he has been dealer
with banks for many years in very
large capacity. His business Affairs
have grown in the county in the pas
25 years from very humble begin
nings. When he landed here ;
quarter of century ago, along will
jim Carty, the two of them had les
than five dollars between them. Mr.
Kilkenny started his career in 'th'
sand" as sheep man on borrowed
capital and has made good. He il
now perhaps the largest individual
land and sheep owner in this part o
Oregon and his wealth can be ratet
at close to the half million mark
His close attention to business ant
superior business ability brough
him to the front rapidly and hi
addition to the dictatorship of tn
First National should prove to be
very wise choice on the part of tn
stockholders.
