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.

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.

ciation has pledged proper support to

and Pine valley in this county and one

city is the only' one In the state of
any size that has not a creamery in
operation.

evening by Henry Lazinka, another
well known stockman of that part of
the county.
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. Allison immediately
went in search of assistance to get
the men to his home, but he had
great difficulty In finding anyone to
help him, so that it was 5 o'clock
the next morning before he was de
livered at his home and a physician
called.
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.
