The first free open-air entertain ment of the season was furnished a large number of Heppner citi zens yesterday morning. One of Morrow county's prominent farmer citizens drove to town in his two horse-mobile and hitched the team to an electric light pole in front of Thomson Bros, store. From some cause, unknown to deponent,' it After More Jerseys. C. K. Pointer, of Lexington, de parted for the Willamette valley, Tuesday morning, to purchase an other carload of Jersey milk cows and heifers. He recently shipped np a carload and bad no trouble whatever in disposing of them to the farmers in the Lexington neigh, borhood, and'tbe most of the new shipment are already spoken tor. took fright, broke loose and hit the j Qa(1 to eee the interest the people pike for home. It passed the Ga zette office a moment later under a full head of steam, and about a hundred yards behind came Char ley Thomson on the trail, determi nation depicted on everv feature, And speeding like a full blooded race horse. The team kept the road until it passed the flouring mill, so did Charlie, but just before lie overtook it, Fred Crump stepped in front and stopped, thus spoiling Charlie's grand achievement, but Dot until be had proven himself the champion sprinter of the town. Accute of Striding-. E. E. Chamberlain, of Clinton, Me boldly accused Bucklen's Arnica Salve of stealing the sting from burns or ecalda the pain from sores of all kinds the distress from bnilg or piles. "It robs cats, corns, bruises, sprains sod injuries of their terror," he says, "as a healing remedy its equal don't exist." Only 25c at all druggists are taking in this matter of intro ducing good milk stock, and the wisdom of this move will be seen before many months roll around. Splendid Address. Dr. W. E. Vaughan came in on the delayed train Tuesday night, reaching the church a few minutes after 8 o'clock, and found a very good crowd awaiting his arrival. Some bad cone away because' of the late hoar. He delivered splendid address, taking as bis abject The Two Sons of Zebidee who asked the privilege of setting the one on the right and the other on the left in the Lord's Kingdom. He emphasized the importance of looking after the boys and showed up the tendency of this age. Foly Kidney Pills are a reliable reme dy for backache, rheumatism and urin ary irregularities.

McNabb and family, who have been residing ip Idaho, near the city of Nez Perce, have re turned, with their stock and farm ing implements, to their old home at lone, and will again take up their abode in Morrow county. It has been three yearB since Wes left this county and he has con- vincea nimseit tnat our section is ahead of the locality where he has been. Farming in this county is much easier, and the final returns better and more satisfactory. It is a pleasure to note the return of such people to this section, and we hope that Mr. McMabb will be as successful here as he was in former years. After all, it is bard to stay away from Morrow county, and we shrll not be surprised to hear of many more doing as these people have done. 1 The FinisSi ot Minor & to. a btg sale comes this week.

Those delegates who attended the tri-state meeting of the Farm ers' Union at Walla Walla last week, have returned and pronounce the meeting a success. The atten dance was not as large as expected yet the representation was good from the states of Washington Oregon and Idaho, and somethings that the farmers have been work ing for were definitely settled, and good will come out of the delibera tions of the convention. This meeting bandied some big ques tions, and there were some warm discussions on different subjects, bat it only cemented the fraternal spirit between the farmers belong' to the union, and will be the mean of bringing about many things that the farmers are working for. The editor os this paper enjoyed the convention very much, and feels greatly repaid for the time spent in attending. The knowledge gained there will be of use to us in the future. Married.

W. S. Wharton, Clyde Brock, ana J L. WiJkins, raised the splendid sum of 1100 as Ileppner's donation to the work of advertising- the re sources of Morrow County. This committee was appointed some time ago, and the preliminary steps taken to get funds together, but the actual work of soliciting had not been taken up, and some were beginning to fear that the work had been forgotten and that the Boost Club had gone to its long sleep, and there were even those among us who had dug its rave many times, but the work of the committee and the prompt and liberal response that they met with, disproves such a theory, and adds strength and encouragement to the cause of putting Morrow County on the map. Heppner is alright and so are her business men. The proposition of publicity funds is settled, and ' our adver tising will go ahead without delay. The county is also responding, as we understand that at this time D. E. Gil- man has raised something over $400.00 in his field, and the towns of Lexington and lone are yet to be heard from. The following is the list of the Heppner boosters, and if you have not joined the ranks its time for you to get on to the band wagon and toot your little horn for BIGGER AND BETTER MORROW COUNTY: N IB Absolutely Purs Tfso only tsfdstg powtfsp mada front Royal Grape Cream of Tartar REGULAR MEETING OF CITY COUNCIL Application for Liquor Li cense Cause of Lively Discussion. a Bank of Heppner f 50 00 First National 50 00 Palace Hotel 50 00 DEGilman 50 00 W PDutton 25 00 Morrow Wbse Milling Co 50 00 Gilliam & Bisbee 40 00 Minor Broe 50 00 GCMillett 50 00 Minor & Co 50 00 Vaughn & Sods 40 00 Thomson Bros 35 00 Andrew Rood 25 00 Slocnm Drug Co 20 00 Sam H-iihes. 25 00 Hiram Tash 5 00 WW Stewart 20 00 Oscar Borg 15 00 EG Noble 20 00 ED Brown 10 00 MikeHealev 20 00, Thos.

Air heart last Friday evening to hear his lecture "Life Trails." The lecture was well recieved by those present and Mr. Airbeart proved conclusively that be bad made Ijo mistake in choice of sub- jects. His delivery was good and his subject was handled in a man ner that showed his ability as a scholar and thinker. Iu his pictures of the trails of life the contrasts were plainly drawn; the one leading down in the valley where there is darkness and gloom ; the other along the hillside of sunshine and hope. To those who view life seriously his lecture was more than interest ing, and after bearing it we believe that very few of os would choose the lower way, bat rather the way along the hillside where we can have the sunshine of life as we tra,vel. It was easy to perceive that he had made a stu.lv of life and hai a very bro&d and comprehensive view of the subject. We have no hesitation in Paying that it Mr. Airbeart should decide to. deliver bis lecture at other points, his audiences will bt? given a treat that is worth much more than the admission fee. I3y referring to the advertising columns, you will note that the big sale at Minor & Co. closes Sat urday. This has been a genuine bargain sale, and all those who failed to take advantage of it cer tainly missed an opportunity to get bargains. The sale all the way through has been conducted on the plan of absolute fair dealing, and haa been a puccesa in every way. Yoa should avail yonreell of the closing salea days and be convinced that what we eay is true. City council met in regular ees sion at the city hall on Monday evening, with Mayor Woodson and councilmen Minor, Humphreys, Aiken, Kirk, and Noble, present. The application of Pete Eaton for a liquor license was the means of opening up a lively discussion. The license committee reported ad versely on the petition,' but the qaestion being presented to the council, tha body refused to sus tain the report and proceeded to yote to grant the license. The issue was raised, of course, upon the qaestion of the right of the council at this time, under the provisions of ordinance No. 123, to grant any further licensee. The license committee beiu? C. A. Minor, Humphreys, and Noble, the two former held the view that no further license could be granted. Mayor Woodson stated to the coun cil, before a vote was taken, that he Would not support the granting of further licenses under this or dinance, and that if it was the in tention to d 3 so he would refuse to sign a license thus granted; that before undertaking to do this the council should first annut the ordinance. The council then proceeded to l H. - ... vine ou me question or grauting a license to the applicant, and the ayes and nays being called foi, the vote was as follows: Ayes, Aiken, Noble, Kirk; nays, Minor, Hum phreys. Upon further discussion, how ever, the vote was reconsidered, and the matter of gtauticg the license left as reported oa by tha litvnse committee. Bills allowed as follows: II. A.
