The first annual fair for the
third Eastern Chegou District,
which is now beius called the
4Morrow"-UuatilU district will
be held at Pendleton, September
21-29.
This fair which is being fostered
by state aid with an appropriation
cf $1,500 has been taken up at
Pendleton, and under the law the
county court has the authority to
appropriate a sura not exceeding
SI, 000, and Umatilla county has
taken advantage of the limit.
The enterprising business men of
Pendleton !mve subscribed 84,000
Trhich will be expended in the
undertaking.
So far aa this goes, it is all right
ior the thriving town of Pemlle-I
tin to lot f-r something that
will bring business to the town,
but this catch word "Alorrow".
Umatilla district is a clever ruse
4o work Morrow county for a little
fiish jm t to h?lp make the thing
50. It is mighty convenient for
Umati'la cointy to Lave Morrow
Attached as a tail and we have
been waggiug for a long time, but
JSlorrow county taxpayers a e
getting tired of it.
Now with this "district" fair to
be held at Pendleton, mind you,
Morrow county has been awarded
ihe distinction and honor of com
ing first. It ia the "Morrow'r
HTmatilla district, and this with a
littlo tickling from the Pendleton
papers has caused the Ileppner
Times to fill all over itself in a big
boost in the last issue in which
this paper is standing right in in
the attempted hold up of Morrow
county taxpayers for a county
appropriation.
The Times says: "We believe
(hat it is the duty of Morrow
county to help the enterprise
along for the reason that at some
other time we may want Umatilla's
assistance in helping our county
to hold a fair."
In the first place Morrow county
is not able to held a creditable and
successful fair. Neither is Uma
tilla. If we Bhould attempt it we
could get no more from Umatilla
county than we could get from
Multnomah, nor would we be en
titled to any more.
Vasco county has tried the
fair proposition but Wasco coun
ty will not attempt it this year,
and why? Simply because it cost
more than it was worth. Even
the state fair at Salem with all the
itate to draw frjm, as well as a fat
appropriation, has never been a
mccess from a financial stand
point.
If the3e fairs are not successful
5n the countiei in which they have
5een held, how would Morrow
county conn out in playing second
ddle with Umatilla.
The Gazette believes that 90 per
sent cf the taxpayers of Morrow
tounty are opposed to a county
appropriation for a picnic at
Pendleton and will not stand for a
holdup of this kind w ithout pro
test. This ''district" air at Pendleton
will help Pendleton and Pendleton
nly. The subscribing of $4,000
tor the enterprise by Tendleton
Business men 13 certainly com
aaendable. This Fpirit ia what
iiakes Pendleton one of the beet
towns in the state, but if we have
any money to spend in this line
let us get up a good street fair or
agricultural picnic in Ileppner and
then we ciu send the Times over
la Umatilla county and get all
lindaof money and help for as the
Times says this would be a "joint"
enterprise.
per gallon on the prica of gasoline
has aroused a greater interest in
the coming of denaturized alcohol
which will come into use after the
first of the coming year when the
new law which rtmoves the
revenue of $1.08 per gallon, goes
into effect.
The advantage of alcohol over
oils and the small cost of its manu
facture will ultimately make its
use general for many purposes,
for domestic cooking alcohol will
undoubtedly lessen greatly the
use of wood and coal, especially
where only a small fire is requited
during the fcummer season, being
handier than wood and coal and
much cleaner and safer than
either coal oil or gasoline.
The time will coa:e when small
power plants will mauufactuie
their own alcohol for fuel pur
poses. It can be imde from to
many din.-rent tilings tuat its
manufacture will be difficult to.
control.
A gallon of denatured alcohol
is said to be worth two of k Tosene
for litshtiug purposes. The thous
ands of small power engines here
tofore run by gasoline can be
better t-eryed by alcohol. Much
use can be made of them on frms,
especially in irrigation in a small
way. Alcohol is preferable to
gasoline also because if the latter
takes fire water will not put it
out, while this ik-u il fire ex
tinguisher will sub lue an alcohol
lire. And it is said that the
aiconoJ yields lu per cent more
power than gosoline. As it cost,
the record of a big Peoria distillery
for 10 years showed that the
average cost of corn used was
42.36 cents a bushel, which pro
duced 4.76 gallons of alcohol, mak
ing the cost per gallon 10.78 cents.

Morrow county produces more wealth per capita than any other county in
the state of Oregon. Our territory within county lines is 75 miles in length by 35
miles in width, large enough for a state, but with not enough population for a good
sized country village. Only 6000 people in the county.
Every year we grow about 1,000,000 bushels of wheat. Tbis is worth abou
8700,000,
We bare about 225,000 bead of sheep worth about $502,000, after shearing
while (he wool from these sheep will sell for 8360,000. Then there are horses and
cattle worth at east a half a million more.
These are the main items In the wealth producers.
It don't take much figuring when you look at these figures to come to the
conclusion that Morrow county people make some money. We haye the Boil, the
climate and the goods to make good.
Morrow county's climate Is pleasant and healthful.
Morrow county people are prosperous. Morrow county people haye money.
Here in the town of ileppner we have two banks. The First National in publish
ed statements shows deposits running from half a mil.ion dollars up. Both banks
have a big business. Heppner can show the largest bank deposits of any town of
its size in the Northwest, and it should be remembered that Lexington, nine miles
away, and lone, 18 miles from Heppner both haye banks doing a good business.
This looks like Morrow county people have money.
But look here, almost half the population of Morrow county reside in the
towns. This leaves only between 3,000 and 4,000 people In a territory 75 miles in
leneth by 35 miles in wealth. Don't you think there is room for more people.
Ten or twelve years ago land in Morrow county went begging at from $100 to
$250 for a quarter section.
Five years ago tbis land had looked up to $6.00 and $7.00 per acre. Today
this land is woith $15 per acre with a few of the choicest lots some times bringing
$20 per acre. Now the old timers are wondering why ttiey did not take advantage
of this cheap land. They could have made a barrel of money.
Over in the adjoining county of Umatilla wheat lands today are worth from
$50 to $75 an acre. On the other side of us is Sherman county with wheat lands
selling from $25 up. Here we are between with just as good land land at $15 per
acre. Our lands are sure to go up in prioe. In a few years the people here wil
be again wondering why thev did not buy some of this $15 land. The proposition
is the same now as it was a few years ago, but it takes more money. Last year
and year before a number of good farmars bought wheat lands and paid for it
with the first crop.
Come to Morrow county and investigate this land business.
