Sill Oil, 'I CHILDREN'S Off School , Superintendent Rec ommends That Schools of County Attend Fair. Friday, October a WILL BE BIG DAY. Arrangements Being Perfected fr flaking School Children's Day a Feature of Big Morrow-Umntllla District Fair Tills Year and Every Year Hereafter Muny Hundred Children Exioeted to lie lYesont Stock Exhibit Tills Year Will Be Largo. If the recommendation of County Superintendent Frank K. Welles Is heeded by the school board of Uma tilla county, Friday, October 2 will be a holiday for the school children of the county. The district fair com mission has Just requested that holiday be recommended In order that the school children of the coun ty may be the guest of the commls- slon at the fair on that date, "School Children's Day" will be a feature of the district fair hereafter and everything will be done to In duce the country districts as well as the towns of the county to attend In large numbers on that event. Dur ing the two previous fairs the school children of the city and also of the Umatilla Indian school have attended the fair on "School Children's Day," but it is the desire of the commission to have this event include every dls trict of the county and make this one of tho greatest days of the fair. As the fair belongs to the people of Umatilla and Morrow counties and as its object Is education, enlighten ment, closer association and better understanding among the farming communities, it is hoped that the country districts will take advantage of this event and see that every child visits the fair to be the guest of the commission on "School Children's Day," October 2, 1908. Lnst year about 800 children from the schools of this city and the res- ervatlnn attended the fair on school day. Stock From Willamette. It Is possible that there will be a fine exhibit of sheep from a number of Willamette valloy counties, as the commission Is now conferring with Willamette valley breeders In regard to the matter. For a number of years Willamette valley counties have sold many fine sheep In eastern Oregon and In order to bring their stock before eastern Oregon sheepmen It Is believed that the breeders of the valley countlef will be willing to make an exhibit at tho fair. The matter of having A. C. Ruby and other horsemen bring an exhibit of fine horses to the fair Is also un der way and It Is hoped that the live stock exhibit this year will exceed any former exhibit of this kind. Homo Stockmen Interested. W. O. Minor of Heppner, whoso shorthorn herd Is the wonder and pride of eastern Oregon, will bring his entire herd here for the fair and It Is tho Intention of George Llnsncr of Nye, the well known breeder of Herefords, to make a good exhibit again this year. Mr. Linsncr took a largo number of premiums nt the first fair and has a fine herd of cat tie. The large tent will be erected on Railroad street for the livestock ex hiblt and ample room will be provid ed for all stock that is brought In The stalls and mangers will be made In sections and after the fair will be stacked up in the pavilion for future use. The matter of rearranging the in terior of the pavilion is now being considered by the fair and when the improvements are complete it will present a much more attractive ap pearance. The band stand will be placed in the center at the back of the pavilion, the fountain and palm garden will be erected In the center and other changes will be made. Everything points to a still better fair for this year than has yet been held. KILVEIt CUP IS PRESENTED TO SHIP. Navy Yard, Puget Sound, Aug.' 13. D. T.

EIGHT Hi STOPS 200 HARVESTERS A gcntlo rain, falling like a bene diction upon tho dusty earth this morning stopped the wheels of at least 200 combined harvesters In Umatilla county and temporarily de layed the harvest, which is now . 75 per cent completed. As a result of a light rain all over the county practically all harvest op erations were stopped and this city has been thronged today with idle harvest hands, who came in for the first time since the wheels were start ed three weeks ago. No damago will be done by the rain, but the work is delayed, as the combined harvesters can not be suc cessfully operated again until a few hours' sunshine dries out the wheat heads. Farmers are well pleased with the result of the harvest and will finish harvesting in a few days after they resume work again after the rain. It has been an ideal harvest season and many farmers have finished their work without a moment's delay on account of the weather. Baker City Gets a Creamery. Baker City, Ore., Aug. 13.

It seems that Mr. Mossle was riding in company with Walter Allison on a trail between Long Meadow and Round Meadow, when his horse fell with him in such a manner as to break his leg.

By that time the Injured limb was so badly swollen that It could not be set and the doctor began the task of reducing the swelling. Though the Injury is a very pain ful one, it Is hoped ihat the broken bones can be set successfully and . without permanent Injury. Woman Killed by Tree. Newport, Ore., Aug. J3.
