Bob Alstott, of Eight Mile, was in Heppner Friday and says the armers ot his section are getting their heading outfits ready to go nto the fields, and harvesting will begin pretty generally out that way by the first of the week. ome very good yields are looked or. W. C. Lacy is up from Portland for k few days, looking after inter- ests here. He is decidedly well pleased with the outlook for a good yield ol grain on his place. He expects it to put dollars in his pocket this fall, so that he will be enabled to enjoy the pleasures of fe in the metropolis to a greater extent this winter. Mr. C. Collins and Miss Emma Schunk, both residents of Wheeler county and living in the vicinity of pray, were quietly married at the ome of Clyde Wells on the evening of July 7th. the ceremony being performed by Rev. E. P. Warren. Mr. Collins is a rancher of the pray country and the young peo ple departed for their home on aturday. George Noble was brought back from McDaffy Springs on Saturday and is quite sick at his home in this city. The trip fb tbe Springs was a hard one and did little good, and as his stay there did not seem to be benefitting him, it was thought advisable to bring him omeat once. He was later re moved to the Sanitorium, and from later reports he is imDrovin?. ANNUAL REUNION GRAND SUCCESS Enjoyable Meeting of The Morrow County People in Portland. 53 East 7th Street, Portland, Oregon. July 8, 1911. Mr. Vawter Crawfobd, Dear Sir: The Morrow Connty Re. nnion Association met In its annual pic nic at Columbia Park on the fourth of July, and to say that we bad a good time would be only half telling it. After a bounteous picnic dinner, Presl dent Mallory called tbe Association to order and made an excellent speech in which hu spoke of what a help we had been in the upbuilding of Portland, which might still be inhabited by In dians, had not we citizens of Morrow county come bere to help civilize the city. Mrs. J. N. Brown read the minutes of the meeting held one year ago. Her minutes were prefaced with the follow ing preamble: "Many years ago in the (county ot Morrow, State of Oregon, there lived friends and neighbors. A great many of them went there as young men and women and many of tbem have prosper-I ed. Distance did not count: for tho often living many miles apart, they were neighbors in the best sense of the word. There were others that lived in the little town of Heppner, where the same spirit of friendship and true neighborly kindness existed. As time went on some of these thought best to seek homes in other localities. Then came a great calamity to the little city that roused the sympathy of the world, and the great grief of all friends wher ever they were. Since tbat time very many have scattered to other abiding places; Portland and vici ity seeming to be the choice of a great many of these friends and neighbors. And bo when the rorw vs-a passed round just Lei'oitt the fourth of July, 1908, that all who Could, come and meet together at Col urabia on that day and have a picnic reunion. There were a goodly number that responded to the call and it proved that the same good will existed and a very happy day followed, with the usual fine lunch for which the women of Mor row are duly celebrated. Thev decided to meet at the same time and place the next year and all arrangements were made to do so but the day turned out to be verv stormy and Mr. and Mrs. Ed Day invited all that the wo'd could be gotten to to come to tbeir home in St. Johns, and a good many found their way there and again a most pleasant day followed. The resolution to make a permanent organization seemed to be forming, and took shape in the meeting of 1910, at which officers were elected and committees appointed who brought about the succeesful reunion for 1911." After the reading of the minutes and the preamble, a short program was given, singing ol "America" was fol lowed by a recitation by Nellie Hornor, then the reading of cards and letters from our Heppner friends. There were only a few, but how we did enjoy them. We hope next year many of you will send us words of greeting. The thanks of all present were ex pressed to our friend Harry Cummings for the beautiful boquet of roses sent to us by express and which reached us in time to grace the center of our picnic table. The boquet was presented to Mr. Mallory at the close of his excellent peech. Other very interesting talks were made by Mr. Blackman, Rev. Mr. Craw ford and Mr. J. N. Brown, The program committee had secured a phonograph trom Eilers music house, which furnished music while we ate our dinners and at other intervals. Officers elected for the coming year were Dr. A. K. Higee, president, Mr. J. W. Becket. vice president, Mrs. N. C. Maris, secretary and Mrs. S. P. Gar- rigues, treasurer.

Patterson & Son Spencer Akers and family visit ed for a week with the family of N. It. McVay, at Goldendale, Washington, returning home last Saturday evening. Mr. McVay was formerly engaged in farming in the Gooseberry section of Mor row county and went to the Goldendale country several years ago, and he is now nicely located on a small wheat farm and is do ing well. He is a brother-in-law of Mr. Akers. Spencer saw much good grain in the Klickitat country and many fields will yield forty bushels to the acre, if not better. Most of the farmers over that way are on small farms and put in lots of work on their crops, and they find it pays much better than to try to do wheatraising on a large scale. Mr. Akers returns much in love with that section. Fred Ashbaugh was down from Hardman on Monday. He thinks there will be at least 40,000 bushels of wheat come to town from his section this fall, and it will be good wheat, too. He brought in some good samples of wheat, oats and barley from his farm and ex pects a fair yield. Crops in his immediate sectiou were held back by the cold weather of the spring, but the late rains proved a great benefit. Fred Warnock got in on Sunday afternoon from a stay of a month in the Grant county country.' lie was quite successful- in his efforts to get a lodge of Owls instituted at Canyon City, and did some work also at Monument in the interests of the order. Fred is pretty thotoughly covinced that we have the best country, and says it does a man good to get away from home for a while; he appreciates the home town better, Assault With Dangerous Weapon. Austin Gentry had a preliminary hearing before Justice William oa Monday upon the charge of assault with a dangerous weapon. On Friday Gentry got into an al tercation with Daye McAtee in th saloon of McAtee & AikeD, and drew a gun. McAtee grappled with him, and the gun was knocked from gentry's hand onto the floor. There was a mixup, and the result was that Gentry was floored by Arthur McAtee with a jab on tha jaw and the row ended without any very serious damage. In tha Hearing Monday,. Uentry wa bound over to appear before th grand jury, his bond being fixed at 8500.00, which he furnished. Tha row seems to have originated over some betting on the horseraces oat at Hardman, so the report goes. Gentry claiming tbat he had bee jobbed by McAtee. Real Estate Changes Hand There has been some movement in Heppner real estate the past week and some important transfer have been made. R. F. Hynd dis posed of his fine residence property to C. E. Woodson, taking in tha trade therefor the residence proper, ty of Mr. Woodson. This prop erty was in turn purchased by Mr, Woodworth, engineer on the branck and he and his family will becom permanent residents here. Mr. Hyod is completing arrange ments to leave Heppner with hit family and take up their residence in Portland where they have' pur chased property. .. From rumors go ing around it may be expected that there will be othei1 important real estate transfers before long; in fact the periodical swapping of property in Heppner seems to be on and numerous changes may be looked for. Died of Brights Disease. W. C. Cribbins, who has beet a sufferer for sometime with iJright disease, died on Saturday night at the Heppner Sanitorium. His re mains were taken to Lexingtoe on Sunday for interment. Mr Cribbins had been a sufferer for several months, but kept at work until a few weeks ago, when ha had to take to his bed. He wat brought to the hospital here and was given medical aid and care ful nursing, but nothing could be done to stay the ravages of tins disease, 'He leaves a wife and family of several children.
