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.
A part of Article III reads as follows:

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
