Heppneb, - Oreoon. Heppner's Fourth of July cele bration was certainly a great success. At least 4500 people can testify to the truthfulness of this statement. It was conceded by all that it was the biggest crowd ever as sembled in Heppner. In fact it wan all that Heppner could ac commodate. Hotels and restau rants were crowded to their utmost capacity. I very body seemed to have a Rood, time and were well satisfied. It was an orderly and well behaved crowl. Morrow county ws certainly well lepiesented, while a large number cam? in from Wheeler and Grant counties. A special train from lone brought up a large number from the northern part of the county. Iu accordancs with a well arranged program, the big parade formed in front of the commercifd club building on Gale street, at The celebration success. The day was sweltering hot and ice suffered. Everyone was well pleased with the music furnished by the lone and Lexington bands, Heppner business men report a big business daring the two days. Over 815,000 was spent in having a good time. One ice cream parlor took in over 8500 on the first day and ran out of ice cream at noon. It was over 100 in the shade but still the big platform dance was kept groaning under the weight of 100 couples as they moved to the strains of enchanting music. Mr. Gert Cooley and Miss Byrd Cooley are certainly artists with the violin ana piano ana iney were ably assisted by Mr. Bennell, the cornet soloist. All members of the Fourth of July corumittees deserve great credit for the success of the celebration. HARDMAN IS WET PRECINCT DEFECTIVE BALLOTS EEECTIOS VOID.

The parade was an interesting feature. As soon as the parade was over exercises at tbe platform on Gale street were commenced, consisting of vocal and instrumental music, reading of declaration of independ ence and the oration of the day delivered by Dr. J. Buie. Dr. Bale's address was able and eloquent and was listened to with great interest The platform was entirely too small to accommodate the large number of people that wanted to hear the exercises. At two o'clock in the afternoon a ball game was called between lone and Heppner at the High School grounds. The game was a hard fought battle and was ic teresting from the first to the last inning. The result was victory for Heppner by a score of seven to 11. At tbe conclusion of the ball game tne atnietic sports and amusements were called on Main street which attracted the at tention of an immense crowd. The amusements consisted of wheelbarrow races, three legged races, sack races, races for the fat men, etc. The events were pulled off with much enthusiasm and added greatly to the humor of the occasion. The fifth opened up with almost as big a crowd as on the Fourth. It seemed that the people were out for a good time and they were going to have it. The big drawing card of the celebration was the bull riding and bucking horse contests. At the appointed time in the after noon there were hundreds of people on horseback, in carriages and on foot to see the ridinjr con tests. While there were no ex tremely bad horses, still, the con test was full of excitement and interest. The riding contest occupied the principal part of the afternoon. Gene Jones was a warded first prize, Ad. Moore second prize and Smith, of lone was given the third prize. It is unnecessary to say that they all earned their money. The bull riding contest was rather a tame affair but famished a lot of fun. Morrow county grain has suffer ed greatly from the effect of the ! extremely hot weather during the past 10 days. Prior to the hot spell, grain of all kinds was unusually rank and heavy. In some localities farmers claim that the hot weather will cut down the yield 50 per cent. In other places wheat is not injur ed, however, the loss in general will amount to considerable. Wheat ripening rapidly and harvest will soon be here.

Trice 50o A sailor of the Sylph, Koosevelt's private yacht, while ashore at Oyster Bay, was stabbed by an Italian. He was badly, though not necessarily fatally injured. The row originated by the sailor throwing a bunch of lighted fire crackers among a group of Italians. subject of careful study by officials and attorneys. A conference of the higher railway officials and of the general counsels of railways has been called for Monday, with a view to discussing the provisions of the law and ascertaining what is necessary for the railroads to do in order to meet with the provisions of the act. Contrary to common understanding tne law takes effect and is in force from and alter ita passage, and not within 60 days, as was formerly contemplated. There are two provisions of the act, however, which are not effective now. One of these is the provision prohibit ing the issuance of passes and all forms of free transportation except to a few excepted classes. This is not effective until January 1, 1907. Tbe provision in section 1 of tbe act which prohibits a railroad company from transporting any article or com .1 : , . . ujuuuy Luanuiaciureu. mined or pro duced bv it or under its autboriiy, does not take effect until May 1, 1908. The delayed date of enforcement of the anti-pass regulations was granted with a view to giving the railroads time to get ready for it. It would be almost a physical impossibility for the railroad companies to call in and secure all of annual passes which have been issued and which are not no illegal. January all of tbe free transportation will ex pire and it will be an easy matter for the railroads to comply with the pro vision. Time is given for tbe enforcement of tbe other provision for a similar reason. Ita compliance means that all railroads must, within the time specified, sever their interests with all business except that of a common carrier, tbe manufact ure and sale of transportation. It is impossible tor any one to interpret the exact meaning of the provisions of the statute or to forteil what their effect will be. This will not be known until the courte have had the opportunity to pass upon the various provisions. Under the new law it becomes the duty of tbe common carrier to furni-h transportation as defined bv the law upon reasonable request therefor, and to establish through routes and through 1 rates and to provide switch connections j with lateral lines and with branch linos j and to provide sidetrack? for industries which have sufficient freight to warrant stock Inspector Report mjST I fthe-p Driven From Cosnij to .tloujitaln Ranges.
