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.
Last season while digging his pota
toes a Jackson count, farmer picked op

date 1848, tells tbe Crants Pass Courier.

FRANCHISE
ASKED FOR
To Place Electric Wires
Along Highways.
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 franchise was granted by
the county court, provided that the
work of construction shall be com
menced within one year.
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

thanks to all'who so kindly assisted us

daughter. Mr. and Mrs. Andrew

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.

A BIG
REUNION
OF FORMER MORROW
COUNTY PEOPLE.
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.
