Circuit Court Session
Is OF Short Duration

Judge Phelps came over from Pen
dleton on Sunday, and on Monday
the regular December term of the
Circuit Court was opened here, but
the term was of short duration. The
docket contained quite a number of
cases, but the most Of these were
settled out of court, and there was
no case Of Importance to come to
trial, hence no work for the jury.
The grand jury empaneled was:
Fred Akers, Eight Mile, foreman;
Joseph Pringle. Lexington; Harriet
Robson, Eight Mile; Robert Gem
NELL, .Heppner; Otto Ruhl, Lexing-
ton; A. M. Moore, lone. and Merle
Kirk, Heppner. A number of cases
and matters came up before the grand
jury for their investigation, but they
failed to turn in any cases for the
attention Of the court, though spend
ing considerable time. The cold
weathe. made it questionable as to
the advisability of getting in wit
nesses at this time on some matters
before the inquisitorial body, and
they decided to postpone certain in
vestigations until later date.
Such matters as required the at
tention of the Court were practic-
ally finished on Monday, and Judge
Phelps took an adjournment and re-
turned to his home at Pendleton.

0RECON|ANS HELP
ING IN NEAR EAST

That Oregon is still on the firing
line in the Near East is indicated by
messages just received by J. J. Hand
saker, State Director, Near East Re-
lief, 613 Stock Exchange, Portland.
Mrs. Robt. D. Cruishank, of Port
land, is now at the Piraeus, the har-
Dor of Athens, in her capacity as a
trained nurse helping among the
thousands and thousands of refugees
who are fleeing from Turkey into
Greece.
"The health situation in the big
refugee centers is rapidly assuming
the status of catastrophe" the mes
sage says. "The death rate of babies
in Piraeus is now 1870 per day. Three
of the largest camps are under quar-
antine for smallpox, and bubonic
plague has broken out. The percent
age of winter illness such as infu-
enza and pneumonia among women
and children in the refugee camps
now exceeds fifty per cent. What
can you expect when these people
are still unclad, unblanketed, unshel-
tered? said DR.. Mabel Elliott to me.
There is the most urgent need Of
100000 blankets in Greece today.
There is equally urgent need for
warm clothing and for warm heat
giving food. Not one woman or baby
in thousand has had milk for the
past week. Half of them are getting
less than quarter of pound Of
bread daily"
Mrs, P. c. Burt, of Bend, sailed
from Constantinople on December 5
with six hundred Armenian and
Greek orphans for Athens. More
than 5000 children had already
reached Athens before Mrs. Burt
sailed with her six hundred young
sters. The orphans are everywhere
in Athens. In the municipal opera
house, in the cathedral and other
churches, in school houses, in prac-
tically every home, in unfurnished
buildings, even in the bath houses,
are found literally thousands of the
thousands who have been removed
by the Near East Relief from places
Of danger to safety.
A report recently made to Will
Hays, Chairman of the Near East
Relief Emergency Committee, indi-
Gates that probably as many as g.
100000 refugees are either enroute
to Greece or there. With Greece's
population but five million. and these
poverty stricken after more than ten
years Of war, the overwhelming need
for outside aid is easily apparent.
