A giod in terest, however, was manifested by those in attend auce. In the absence of the secretary, 8. E. Notson performed the fane tions of that important office. The matter of advertising in the Oregonian was introduced by chair man Woodson, and a committee consisting of Clvda Brock, S. E Notson, and E. M. Shutt was ap pointed to prepare copy for the same. A committee consisting of W. S. Wharton. D. E. Gilman, E. C. Maddock, R F. Hynd, and M. D J ark was appointed to outline a plan and fix dates for visiting the various parts of the county and holding meetings to work up an interest among all the people and bring them into hearty accord with the purposes and labors of the asso' ciation. Now is the psychological mo ment If we are ever going to do anything for a greater Morrow county our labors will count for more now than at any future time. Golden opportunities have already beea lost by delay. A spirit of conservatism and indifference has too long prevailed, The pessimist has been altogether too much in evidence.

Mr. Shutt reports a very success ful and enthusiastic gathering of Oregon boosters, and he believes that from the great interest manifested in the work by boosters from every coontv, the State of Oregon is just now entering op en an unparalleled era of development. President Elliott, of the Northern Pa cific, as Well as representatives of the other great railroad interests, described the manner in which the railroads are si ending millions of dollars every year in publicity work, and they all predicted that within the next few years Oregon will have quadrupled its present popula tion. Other dignitaries from abroad, as well as numerous speakers from our own state, addressed the large gathering (which was held in tbe House of Repre sentatives), and each delegate present received a renewed impetus to advance the interests of his own county in par ticular and the whole state in general. Alter noting the work of tie State Development League, Mr. Shutt, while not wishing to criticize, is strongly in clined to agree with Mr. Scott, of the Northern Pacific, who, in a recent inter view, stated that Oregon's publicity work had been entirely too one-sided ttiat the people of the Eart bad gained tbe idea thit Oregon does not produce anything but apples.. We alt glory in Oregon apples, and in the fame they have brought to tbe state, but home seekers must be informed that in addi tion to apples we are also equally en titled to distinction in the production of wheat, lumber, live stock, wool, alfalfa, fish, gold, etc. Mr. Scott, who visited Chicago with a demonstration train, said that back there the people had gained the erron eous Impression that unless a man had enough capital saved up to buy an ap pie orcnara at irom $iw to ezouu per acre he had no business com;ng to Ore gon. Mr. Shntt thinks this impression is largely the result of tbe neglect on tbe ) art of Oregon's own boosters, and what we want to do is to appeal to the homeseeker of moderate means, and to convince IJjB. as we easily can, that Oregon generally is the best place on i . . .... and the development of the finan- wunng woner w come cial, moral and soctal Interests of nd et A 8tttrt in ot the numerous all.

These attacks started with a pain in the small of my back which gradually became fail ly paralyzing. My attention was at tracted to Foley's Kidney Remedy and I am glad to say after using this wonderl fruit, whether he had been fortunate enough to possess a young fortune or not. It therefore behooves Morrow, as well as the other Eastern Oregon counties, to get busy with their booklets and other publicity material, and capture their share of the desiritble homeseekers that are now coming West. TAKE CAKE! Remember that when your kidneys Heppner Lodge No. 358, Benev olent and Protective Order of Elks, beld its annual memorial service at the I. O. 0. F. hall in this city on last Sunday afternoon "which was well attended by the genera public. The exercisea worn all deeply impressive and exceptionally wel rendered, 'mere was not a pause or slip in the program from start to finish. The musical numbers, rendered by some of tbe best vocal- ists in the city, accompanied by Mrs. Metzler, left little to be de sired in that line. The rendition of Thanatopsis by Miss Ethel S. Crowley, of the Heppner High school, was, to our mind, the best we have ever heard of that confes sedly difficult production. With simple earnestness, a clear-toned voice, and thorough understanding of the poet's emotions, the deep meaning of the poem fell from tbe lips of Mi6s Crowley into the verv hearts of the almost breathless audience. This too, without stud ied, mechanical gesture or stage posing. The main feature of the service, however, was the memorial address by Sam E. Van Vactor. Esq. He was somewhat "out of voice,' ow ing to recent illness. He spoke with some discomfort to himself, but the tribute he paid tbe departed and the sober earnestness with which he spoke of man's relation to his fellows, of his final destiny and the "great beyond," bespoke the earnestness of his soul and that the great questions of "What is man?" "Whence came he?" and "Whither is he bound?" that have agitated the ruin da of the world's greatest thinkers in all ages and climes are worthy of oar most se rious reflection. We cannot give a synopsis of the address, as we took no notes. Suffice it to eay that it showed throughout, serious, eai nest thought,- careful prepara tion, and notwithstanding the phy sical difficulty under . which the speaker labored, at times he . rose to flights of genuine oratory. His effort made a distinct, and we be lieve a lasting impression for good upon bis hearers. The entire service Was of a hieh 1 order, and it is not too much to say, a decided Buccess.

Miscellaneous Shower. About thirty-fire friends of Miss Clara J. May met m the parlors of the M. E. church last Monday evening to express their high ap preciation of her and wish her God speed on her journey to the home of her parents in Chico, California. She was the recipient of a miscel- aneous ''shower" in which linen and china predominated. Light refreshments were served and music added to the festivities of the occasion.
