On Thursday morning last the people of Ileppner were reminded of Ihe periodical visit of the dog poison er From Dennis McNamee's corner np to the Brewery saloon there was stretched some half doz en canine?, victims of strychnine or some other deadly poison. Sam Ilnghe's little pet dop; was among the slain and perhaps some of the othpr dogs were valuable. It is a good thing to get rid of the over supply of dogs that Beem to ac cumulate about town iu the coarse of the year, but ptuting out poison promiscuously is not the beet way to do it. We have an ordinance that provides for getting rid of ownerless dogs and the law should be allowed to take its course; tbo we admit that there are many times that wa should be glad to discharge the contents of a double barrelled shotgun in the midst of a pack of howling canines that dia turb the peaceful hoars of Dight with their dismal music, and some of the worst of these have owners, too, but it is necessary to forbear and pat np with the nnisance. But just the same this poison busi ness should be cut out; it is caus ing the innocent to Buffer as well a9 the guilty. A Big Mortgage. County Clerk Hill received for record this week what is considered the largest mortgage ever spread on the records of Morrow county It is the blanket mortgage of the Oregon-Washington Railroad & Navigation Company to The Far mers Loan & Trust Company of New York and covers all the lines of the company in Oregon, Wash ington and Idaho. The instrument is printed in pamphlet form and contains 30,000 words, is given in the Bum of $175,000,000 and re quires a fee of $GG to pay for the recording. You can't get too many chickens. We'll get rid of them for yoa at top prices. Minor & Co. The following letter wasreceiyed last week, and should have appeared in these columns, but reached us a little late for that issue. We give the letter in fall, hoping that our people may be encouraged thereby to follow out the request contained therein. 53 East Seventh Street. Portland, Oregon, Jane 20 1911. Mr. Vawter Crawford, Dear bin The Morrow County Reunion Association will hold its annual pic nic at Columbia Park on the fourth of July, and we viah to invite through the columns of your paper any Morrow oonnty people who may be in Portland at that time. Come and enjoy the day with ub, greeting old friends and share our picnic dinner. Our reunions in the past have been most pleasant and much en joyed by the former residents of Morrow county residing in and aronnd Portland. Last year we formed a permanent organization with Mr. W. L. Mallory as president, Mrs. J. N. Brown, secretary and Mrs. 8. P. Garrigues, treasurer,and we expect oar reunion this year to be the best we have had. We want onr friends over in the home county to write ns a letter or a card of greeting to be read at the reunion; we hope to have a hundred or more Bach letters or cards. We want to make this a permanent fea tare and can think of nothing that will add more to oar pleasure that day than the letters from our friends at home. Address all such letters to me at 53 East Seventh Street, Portland, Oregon. We will send you account of re union later. Respectfully, Mrs. N. C. Maris, It is with pleasure that we give space to the above, and we urge all the friends of former Morrow county citizens now residing in Portland and vicinity to write such letters or cards as called for here, and thus help in making this re union a more complete success. The spirit of these people is highly commendable, and it is a pleasure to ns to note that while circum stances have placed them in another community, yet they do not forget to keep the memory of former as sociations together here green, and get much pleasure on t of coming to gether in this annual picnic as a body of citizens who are glad to be known and reconized as having part in the upbuilding of this sec tion. Many of them were pioneers here and are remembered with the highest esteem. j Tiptoos, as mentioned in the last issue of the Gazette, are a noted baneh of rastlers, and bear a repu tation that is rather unsavory in more ways than one. A young daughter served a term in the peni tentiary at Walla Walla a few years ago for horsestealing, and the old gentleman, himself, barely escaped the gallows for killing a man. Having been caught with the goods, it is now hoped that this bunch will have to serve time in the Washington penitentiary, and set tlers in the neighborhood of where they have been living will in conse qaence be bothered less by the loss of stock in the future than they have in the pasi; and it is possible that people down this way will also be relieved along this line to some extent, as it is thought this same bunch is responsible for some of the stealing that has been going on in the Eastern Oregon country MAKING IMPOR TANT CHANGES. District Fair Getting Ready for Big Crowds. Take Prisoners to Dayton. Sheriff Ed. M. Dayis, of Colnm- bia county, Washington, Bccom- pained by S. D. McCauly, deputy sheriff of Walla Walla county, arrived in Heppner on Friday eve ning, and departed Saturday morn ing with the bunch of horsetbieves ran in by Sheriff Hayes and his deputies last week. J. B. Tipton, his son John Tipton and his daugh ter, Mrs. Reynolds and Isaac John son, a young man that lived neigh bor to the Tiptons, are the prisoners. These people were getting away with 12 head of horses belonging to C. N. Pentacoet. They had all of them, with the exception of the woman, worked on the farm of Pentacoet near Starbuck, and were very familiar with his horses and all the stock in that yicinity. The "Scat" You Knockers. Ob, ye knockers ! Why will you persist in looking on the dark side? The rain has come, a little late to be sure, but the crops will be fair. And, do yoa know, nothing ever turned out as bad as the com plainers predict. One "knocker" says he is going to answer that Gray Cat's prophesy in last week's Gazette. He'll show 'em how to predict anything like that for lone? Very well, knock ahead my friend, bat while yoa are knocking one way, we will knock the other. See? With such busy, enterpris ing men as Dr. Chick, J. Waters E. Bristow, M. Halvorsen, B, Mason, J. Brison, L. Padberg, W Blake, E. Moore, and others too numerous to mention, lone is bound to forge ahead. She may not reach the standard of the Gray Cat's prophesy but she can approach it. So quit your knocking my friends and go to doing. Don't hitch your wagon to along tailed comet where it is apt to fall and "bustj" but hitch it to the big. gest star yoa can find, and keep it there. The Gray Cat. lone, Oregon, June 28, 1911. Ralph Fox, son of Dr. A. L. Fox, formerly a practising physician in Heppner, visited the scenes of his childhood over Tuesday night. Ralphis now a fall fledged physi cian and is making a tour of the Pacific coast so he took a ran up to Heppner to see how the old town looks since he left. He of coaree could note many changes, caused by the great disaster of eight years ago, at which time the old Fox res idence was destroyed with all the other beautiful homes that sur rounded it. Mr. Fox departed on Wednesday morning. Henry Blahm showed us samples of his bluestem wheat Tuesday. He has in 160 acres on the hill hack of his house and it will easily make him a yield of 20 bushels to the acre. He also had some fine samples of the wheat grown down near the creek that he expects to cut for hay. This stands from four to five feet high and will yield heavily. SUNSET MAGAZINE FOR JULY.

Williameso; Hunting, Fishing, Motoring, Fiction. On Sale All News Stands. In order to accomodate the large crowds which are expected to be in Pendleton during fair week this fall, the "fnird Eastern Oregon District Agricultural Society is planning extensive changes in its pavilion. These changes include improvements in the entrance, in the platform, booths and seating accomodations. Instead of the two little gateways for entrance and exit, there will be one large royal arch at the corner of the pavilion, on each side of which will be the ticket windows. This arrangement will not only greatly improve the exterior appear ances but will do much towards facilitating the handling of the crowds. The large music shell will be moved back against the wall and a platform extended out from it for speakers and vaudeville per formers. The Umatilla county booth whioh has heretofore occu pied a central position in the rear of the pavilion will be moved to one side, thus increasing the seat" ing and standing room for the visitors. Additional Beats will be constructed and everything done for the comfort of the many who will be present duriDg the after noons and evenings. SENTENCE PASS ED ON CASED AY Judge Biggs Fixes July 28 as Day for Execution . of Caseday. Entitled to Much Credit. O. N. Pentacost departed Satur day for his home at Walla Walla, taking with him the rig and camp ing outfit belonging to the Tiptons. On the way he will gather up the bunch of horses belonging to him and take ihem home. Mr. Penta cost is certainly entitled to a good deal of credit for the way in which he trailed np these thieves, and for his pluck in staying on the job and getting them run in. He certainly took pretty desperate chances and jeopardized his life in camping on their trail, but he is made of the right kind of stuff and did not pro pose to let these people get away with his property after he had ocated them, even if he found it necessary to do some shooting. He was glad, however, that there was no bloodshed, and he also praises the promptness of Sheriff Hayes in getting onto the ground when he had been informed of the cornering of the thieves. No doubt our sheriff would have been after the outfit sooner had he not been ed to believe that they had got out of the county. It was a good job all the way round. ADVERTISED LETTERS. 'Get yonr garden hose and lawn Fprinklers from Gilliam & Bisbee. The following letters remain uncalled for in the rostoffice at Heppner, Oregon. James Edwards E. K. Flowers Miss Georgania Fletcher Harry Freeman Mrs. Hattie Jones George W. Junkea Mrs Lottie Dattlor Mies Ella Tyler When calling for these please say ad vertised. W. T. McXabb was up from lone on Tuesday. He says the big rain down that way caught him with a lot of alfal fa down, but he rejoices over the rains just the same and says the hay will come out O. K. Orris Robinson, formerly of Ileppner, but now Credit Man for Allen A Lewis, of Fortland, was in Ileppner last Thurs day shaking hands with his old friends here. He was on a trip through Eastern Oregon to size op the crop outlook. Chas. Thomson and wife returned on Tuesday from Portland and Astoria. Mr. Thomson was a delegate to the Grand Lodge K. of P. that met in Astor ia last week, and Mrs. Thomson anJ too Chas. accompanied him. Sheriff Collier arrived from Salem Sun day with Joseph II. Caseday. He was sntenced Monday, and Tuesday morn ing the sheriff with Elmer Overholt and Irving Hazeltina as guards left for Sal em with the condemned man. Judge Biggs passed the sentence and fixed July2Sthas the date for execution. Caeeday heard the death penalty with but little display of emotion. His eyes tilled, but prepared for the ordeal he wiped away the few tears that welled hia eyes and stood stoic. "I have learned mora in the last eleven months than I knew in all my me, declared Joe to a number of old friends who gathered in the prison cell to speak some words of cheer and en couragement to the condemned man. Reflection and meditation has made him a philosopher, and why men fall, and methods for their reformation are soc iological problems for his speculition. Not considering his own case, but with the 485 men incarcerated in thepeneten tiary there is too much retributive jus tice and too little charity for human frailities. A false step, and then the strong arm of a blind justice, punitive and merciless demands an "ev fnr an eye" and the system instead of being reformatory makes the calloused crimin al the finisned product. For the dici- pline and management of the penal in stitution he has nothing but words of praise, but be would segregate the pris oners and keep the young men seperate and apart from the babitaal offender. The commission of crime s a disease. With association it becomes contagious. It needs and deserves careful handleh g. The system of parole is the right idea. Caseday looks well. He has added much in weight, also in age. But be is not well. The doctors Bay it is dropsy. With a number of his friends around him' he seemed cheerfnl, and it wa's only when he said, "don't tell my wife I'm. here" that the lines of hopeless despair wrinkled his prison tanned face. He said the other boys were getting along nicely. Hioton was in the foun dry. Green is in the butcher shop, Emmett Shields is a tailor and his brother Earl is a baker. Caseday has been working a little in the garden. Many of Casedny's friends will inter cede with the governor in his behalf and it seems to be the prevailing opin ion that the death penalty will be mod ified and his sentence mar be made to read "to prison for life" which will not be long for Joe Caseday.

All the wool contained in the two ware houses at Ileppner is being rapidly ship ped out, and the close of the present week will see most of it gone. Wool shipments have been about a month earlier goini; out this season. The freight tariff on shipment in sacks has largely done away with the baleing of the wool, and the Heppner warehouse did no baleing at all, making all ship ments from that bouse in the sacks. The Jlorrovr Warehouse Milling; Co. have done some baleing, b'lf the bu!t of the wool has gone out of there in the sacks, and tbey are shipping from two to three cars per day. A little wool re mains unsold in each house, and what is left may remain unsold for some t;tna as the market is on the decline ani there are no buyers in the field at pres ent. J. C. Owen was down from Hardmaa on Tuesday. The people np his war are making big preparations for the three days horseracing to be pulled off there the 3d, 4th and 5th,
