the rattle it was pronounced good

petulant. The general appearance of
the baby was the real basis of reaching
a decision, however. The judges were:

Who is the tbe proudeBtman in Hepp
ner? This is an easy question just now.
There is only one guess. W. K. Irwin,
the well known merchant, is the man
without any qoention. It is on account
of the baby show held at the I,eis and
Clark fair. Out of the 1000 little fairies
exhibited at the show little Eilis Irwin,
the 14 months-old son of Mr. and Mrs.
w. K. Irwin, of this city, took firBt
prize for bavin); the most beautiful and
charming g'ay eyes. Mr. Irwin says.
"Well, I guess I will stay in Heppner,
but ." Hurrah for Heppner, any
how. Mr. and Mrs. Irwin are proud
and happy parents. They have good
reasons to feel proud and happy and
