THE SUNDAY SCHOOL PICNIC,
The Holiday School Convention Enjoys a Day
at Petty a' Grove.
lhe Morrow County Sunday School
met as per announcement, in Pattys'
grove, three miles this side of lone, and
at the junction of Rhea oreek with Wil
low oreek, on last Thursday. The day
was just about all that oould be desired
for such an event, and the people of the
county showed their appreciation of the
occasion by turning out in large no ru
bers, nearly every part of the county
ueiug re preset, leu. xne groye was
ntoely prepared for the reception of the
visitors and nothing appeared to be
lacking lu the way of accommodations to
make them onmfortable. It was particu
Jarly notioeable that the day was less
windy and disagreeable than is usually
the oaae on the oooasion of the con
vention. A little past 11 o'olook the train reach
ed the grove from Heppner with about
two hundred Sunday school officers,
teachers and pupils, and those who do
not attend Ibe Sunday schools, but
never wins an opportunity to get in at
all the pionios. The convention was
immediately called to order by Presi
dent J. J, Adkins, and after a few num
bers on the program bad been carried
out a grand basket dinner was spread
which was apparently greatly enjoyed
and appreciated by all those present.
After dinner the program was taken up
again and carried oat as printed as
nearly as it oould be, a number of the
schools failing to respoud to their call,
but these vacancies were quite well filled
in. A few of the sobools of the oouoty
handed in interesting and encouraging
reports, but as to the general work over
the county, the report was not as good
a wished for, and il was found that
some of the of the Sunday schools which
had formerly been in flourishing condi
tion, were at the present io a slate of
inactivity, and it will be the effort of
of thoee interested in the Buooeas of the
assi oiation to see if these school cannot
iu the near future be revived, and soma
showing of life manifested by the time
of Ibe semi-aouual meeting of the asso
ciation in Heppner in October.
At the ooncluaion of the program, the
delegate representing the different
schools of the oounty were called to the
platform and proceeded to the election
of officers for the ensuing year, which
election resulted aa follows: J. J. Ad
kins, president; A. W, Balsiger, vioe
preaideut; Vawter Crawford, secretary;
W. C. Lacy, treasurer; Mrs. 0. N. Peok
of Lexington, 0. A. Morgan, of Douglas
Mrs. James Wyland, of Ilardrnau, and
Mrs. Fdua Kluoum, of Heppner, eiecu
tive committee,
This closed the business of the con
vention for lbs day, and after being
dismissed by Rev. Fleeber, of Heppner,
the people of the counly separated for
their homes feeling thai the day had
been well aud profitably spent. Those
from IJeppuer, after partakiug of Iheir
evening meal, repaired to the cars await,
iug them on the siding at the Farmers'
warehouse, where they were sbelterd
from quite a severe rain etorm thai came
up late io the evening. The time spent
In waiting for the train to come along
was ooenpied with prayer meeting, led
by Rev. Fleeber, and greatly enjoyed by

Han Sranoibco, June 2 The $5,0C0,0O0
combine of Pacific ooaat oraoker factories
has fallen through, owing to the inability
or disinclination of its eastern preoeptors
to make good the financial emoluments
hel l out by them some time ago. Options
were secured on all the large bakeries
oo the ooaet, with the exoeptioo of that
controlled by Bishop & Co., of Los
Angeles. A part of the bonds of the
combination were floated in the
east, but the western agents met
with very little eucoess In disposing of
the portion allotted Io this ooaet. One

tories were permitted to lapse, until now
there are but few outstanding options in
