The saloonmen and the people
in general seem to feel a relief now
that the agony is over.
Yesterday being the laet day be

fect, was looked to as somewhat of
a holiday and a day on which tnere
would be more or less hilarity, but
the day came and is gone without
any recollections of any difference
from any other hot summer day.
Along a little before 12 o'clock
last night a few giant firecrackers
were set off which aroused a few
people from peaceful slumber, but
as they were Fourth of July dem
onstrations, nothing was thought
of the harmless amusement.
Yesterday was a gala day lor

Id compliance with the local op
tion law which went into effect
yesterday, every saloon in Morrow
county closed its doors, and the
first drought of this kind that ever
occurred in Morrow county is now
a reality.
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 ;

week and is again in trouble.
He came back here accompanied
by Harmon Jory and Joseph
Brown. Brown bad a trunk in

ruuk at the depot here and secur
ing a job went out to work, in the
meantime giving his trunk key to
Jory to get his things out. who

Huddelston. 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
