ciefy HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, JULY!). 1908 NO. 1185 VOL. 24. QUIET FOURTH HEPPNER WAS AL MOST DESERTED. Two Celebrations and no Accidents. The early morning train on the Glorious Fourth was packed to overflowing with merry Heppner people who went to lone to attent the big celebration which was held in that enterprising town. lone entertained a very large crowd, in which Heppner was wel represented. Rav. Orr, of this city delivered the oration. The games and Bports were in teresting and well carried out. The main attraction of the after noon was the ball game between lone and Heppner. The game was the cause of con siderable dissatisfaction. Heppner won with ascoieof 9 to 11. Manager Hunlock says that this is the first time in his 40 years of baseball experience that he ever saw 0 men beat 10 when one of the 10 was the umpire. The decisions were rank and so one s'ded that Heppner got the the worst of it on everv play . The lone pports bet their heads off and consequently were relieved of about 31500 on the result of the game. Oat at Three Rocks, 25 miles south of Heppner, there was a good old fashioned picnic. A number of Heppner people spent the day out there under the shade of the big pines. There was a nice platform and dancing during the afternoon and evening added to the pleasure of the day. Here in Heppner there was only a remnant of the old guard left. A few homes were decorated with the stars and stripes and Old Glory fluttered from the court house spire and the tall flag pole in front of the First National bank. The evening brought forth a little outburst of patriotism in the shootiog of fireworks which broke the quietude in several places. At the residence of rr. and Mrs. S. E. Van Vactor a number of neighbors gathered and a very pretty pyrotechnic display was en joyed. Not a single accident in Morrow county was reported on the Fourth. Swift & Co. will give Portland the first opportunity to hid on the construc tion ot the buildings that nre to be erected. The first building to be built will be eix stories in height and will cost something like $300,000. The builJ ing will be complete within a year. While the principal building is in tbe course of consliUctioil Ibe stockyard? and smaller buildings are to be erected. Amone these will be the cine tactory, wool pnllery, the box factory and the engiue room. The railroad tracks to tbe packing house will be complete w ithin a few weeks.

Harry W. Mangold has filed a petition with the county cour asking a right of way for the erec lion of a pole line for the trans mission of electricity alone the county roads of Morrow county. Tbe petition states that valuable water rights on the North Fork of the John Day River, in Grant county have been acquired, Jand that it is the intention to develop electric power for all purposes for which electricity can be used to be furnished to municipalities and in dividuals in tbe towns through which the lines would pass. That at each town there will be electric sub-statioDS and other buildings largely increasing the taxable property of the county, and owiDg to the cheapnecs of the power would be a great benefit. Tbe privilege to erect and fmain tain an electric pole line and pri vate telephone on one side of the public highway for a period of 50 years. The line is to begin od the Mon- ument-IIardman stage road, at the south line of this county, thence following the stage road to Hard- man, rieppner, jjexington ana lone and thence north to some point on the Columbia river.

The outcome of the proposition will be watched with much inter est by people of this county. NEW MILL IN OPERATION Herren Saw Mill Now Fill ing Orders. Willard Herren and Frank Wil. der came down from tbe new saw mill at the head of Willow creek, Tuesday. ir. Herren states that the new mill is dow in runuing order with plenty ot logs and an expert saw yer. Already enougn lumber Das been sawed for the necessary build ings to be erected at the mill. Regular work on filling orders was commenced today. A dam has been built across the prong of Willow creek on which the mill is located making a fine mill pond to hold the logs. The Washington county court has purchased a quarry ronisting of a butte about 00 feet high at its apex, with an average height of eomething like 30 feet, and contains three and one half acre?. It is in the midst of a beaverdam tract, and is of basaltic formation, and w hen blasted comes out broken up into about the litfht size for road work, bo that a rock crustier will not be necessary. A Veruonia man tells tbe Hillsboro Ar- gus that tilings are flourishing in the Nehalem valley. A year ago the road districts in that valley levied a 10-mlll tax for road purbosrs, with the result that the beople now have ."0 miles of good raod, mostly graveled, from Ver nonia to the Clatsop county line Curd of Tliitnk.

DOHERTY IS SENTENCED Motion for New Trial is Denied by Judge Bean. Judge Bean, District Attorney Phelps and Judge Fee came over from Tendleton Monday. The business of tbe court at this time was for the purpose of hear ing the motion for a new trial in the Doherly case. The hearing which was set for the 7th of this month was pre sented by the defense Tuesday evening. The motion was denied and Doherty was sentenced to life in the penitentiary. Under the ruling of Judge Bean the certificate of probable cause must be obtained from the su preme court. Owine to considerable time which ia necessary to get the cer tificate, Doherty will probably be taken to the penitentiary. In the event 'of the securing of the crtificate from the supreme court, this will stay the execution of the sentence and Doherty wil be brought back to the county jail. SPRING CRAIN IN BAD SHAPE Badly Injured by Con tinued Dry Weather. Spring grain is in bad shape. In fact, many fields will hardly be worth cutting. The spring wheat will greatly cut down the averge yield over the county. R. W. Hikok, the grain buyer, who has kept close tab on the con ditions, to a Gazette representa tive said: "From the best information that I can get covering the wheat ter ritory in this county, I would place the yield this season at about 45 per cent, of the average." Wheat, and especially spring stuff has suffered from the dry weather and the yield will be light u the north country. ''While some of tbe early fall sown fields will make 30 bushels to the acre, I do not believe that the general average will be over 0 bushels to the acre.'' Harvest which is a little earlier this season than usual is nowhere. The heading of barley is dow in progress on Heppner Flat. Down n the Lexington wheat belt wheat heading has been commenced. A number of harvest bands from the outside are coming in. It is not likely that the farmers will lave any trouble with the labor problem this season.

Held in Portland on the Fourth of July. (By N. C. Maris ) Many citizens of Heppner and Morrow county will no doubt be interested in knowing that those who have left that county and lo cated in and around Portland are Btill loyal to their old home. It was for the purpose of expressing their loyalty as well as for the purpose of renewing social relations and friendship in their new homes and new relations that about a hundred of us got together on tie Fourth and held a good old fashior ed reunion and picnic. A short time ago a few former Heppner ites upon casting about and realizing how many former citizens of Morrow county are living in Portland conceived the idea of renewing old acquaintances by getting together at some con venient time and placeand holding a reunion. The outcome cf this thought was tbe very pleasant affair at Columbia Park, in the suburbs of this city, on the Fourth. Without any organization or formality each one invited, oi rather informed, such as they happened to know o. who had transferred their abode form Morrow to Multnomah county, and while some were overlooked and others had already made previous arrangements for the day, there were almost a hundred responded o the call and spent the day so pleasantly that the feeling seemed unanimous to make the affair an annual event. Hon. Henry Blackmail acted as chairman of the day and J. N. Brown deliveied a veiy pleasaLt and appropriate address. But the leading feature tf tl e day was the old fashioned picnic dinner from baskets filled with all the delicacies known to the culinary art, as few women know better how to fill them than those who hail from Morrow county. . It was decided to hold the picnic gain next year and S PGarrigues, J. W. Beckett and Mrs. X. C. Maris were appointed to act as committee on arrangements. register of all in attendance was kept, and with the of a few Heppnerites who happened to be in the city that day and a few more intimate friends of some of he crowd, who have never lived in j Morrow county perhaps a dozrn ltogether all are proud to claim lorrow county as their forftie home.
