Huge Deficit Prevents
Uptown Express Office

The Heppner Commercial Club. fol-
lowing the demand of the public for
an uptown express office, recently ap-
pointed Sam Hughes, George Aiken
and John A. Patterson as committee
10 take the matter up with the Amer
lean Railway Express company.
The committee got busy at once,
and for awhile it appeared that favor
able action was to be taken. The ex-
press company sent their representa-
tive here last week, a Mr.. Hite, who
went over the situation. After max
ing his report to the company, the
committee received the following let
ter from H. H. Smith, superintendent
of the American Railway Express
company.
Messrs. Sam Hughes, G. c. Aiken, J.
A, Patterson. Heppner, Oregon.
Gentlemen:
Again referring TO your letter of
MAY 1Nu anu uls dNhAp" ACuSC VI
May 7th:
Our Mr.. Hite recently looked into
the situation at Heppner and believe
called upon you gentlemen in refer
ence to establishment of an uptown
office. We have gone into this matter
quite thoroughly, not only on this oc-
casion but in the past, and do not feel
that the business transacted at Hepp-
ner is of sufficient magnitude to war
rant the expense of an uptown office.
This company has since the consol-
idation on July 1st, 1918, operated
each month at deficit until the total
deficit has reached something like
$40, 900 and it is very essential to
the life of the company that we oper-
ate on a strictly paying basis and we
do not feel that this can be done at
Heppner at this time. l shall be glad,
however, to keep your request in
mind pending such time as conditions
may warrant our meeting your wish
es in this matter.
Yours truly,
H. H. SMITH Superintendent.
