Ever since the election on the first day of June, the saloonmen have been makibg preparations for the event. Stocks of liquors have been greatly reduced. Unbroken "pack ages and barrel goods of alcoholic stimulants have been shipped back to the wholesalers, while many mysterious packages, sealed and unsealed have found their way to safekeeping in private hands in both city and country. Hera in Heppner, nine places where liquid refreshments were served, are dark and quiet and a death like silence reigns supreme. For the man with that awful thirst there is absolutely nothing doing outside of the town pump where stock will soon be at a high premium. But there will be plenty, of amusement resorts where soft drinks, made in the shade, tooth some ice cream, milk shakes and other makeshifts or Btomach reno vators can be found galore.

Dick Neville, the veteran bar tender, now that the country i'b dry, in helping to kill time, is quite reminiscent Dick was here in an early day and his experiences were varied and many. Dick was explaining that this "dry" spell was even a worse iolt to the bartenders than the in stallation of the cash register. The time that Dick had refer ence to was many years ago in a bad grasshopper season and thirjge were looking a little blue. "I was a little worried myself," said Dick "and was discussing the grasshopper situation, when Free Green came along from the John Day." "I noticed that Green was cor- siderably interested," continued Dick, "and finally Old Free, eaid: "Talk about grasshoppers, why thej're nothin' to what I am both ered." "How's that?" was the query of an interested bystander. "Why, the slimy green buggers,'' continued Green "are so thick up at my place that they ride down my alfalfy in the day time and make so much noise at night that nobody on the ranch can get a wink of sleep. Dick said "here was an idea for me and I suggested that we catch the frogs and supply the Portland market and make a stake. "Well,, said Dick, "I sent word down to Tom Davidson to send up a supply of grasshoppers on which to fatten the frogc Iu a few days here came the Davidson boys with their mule teams loaded with 48 wool sacks full of hoppers. j "I immediately sent word out to ; Green to hiing iu the frogs, and to save the expense of hauling, Green started to drive in a diove of 1,000,000 by actual count.

Later Ridings acd Jory broke into Brown's truuk and stole a rifle, a razor and a panther skin which they brought up town and sold. iJoth men were making a getaway when Ridings was capt ured at Arlington and Jory was ttken at The Dalles. Both men were brought back and tried be- bre Juetice Williams. Ridings was convicted and in default of a $50 fine will occupy the couDty jail for 25 days.
