Sheriff Hayes returned from Con don Friday evening, having in charge Walter Collins, the forger who broke jail here on the night of July 22nd. Forging checks seems to be Collins' chief occupa tion, as the following from the Con don Times would indicate: Walter Collins was arrested here Wednesday by Marshal Keeney for passing bogus checks and was turned over to Sheriff Montague, who lodged him in the Caunty jail. The man's description tallied' ex actly with one sent Mr. Montague by Sheriff Hayes of Morrow county of a prisoner who broke jail there on the night of July 22nd by un locking the door with a key made from a dinner fork. Sheriff Hayes who was notified immediately, said to hold the prisoner until he Jcame for him. Collins procured some blank checks at the First National Bank here Tuesday and started up in business. The first check, for So, made payable to Fred Esteb and signed J. A. Wesley, was cashed at D. H. Cottmire's saloon. The next for $18.75 he cashed at the Mono gram restaurant, getting $5.00 and asking Mrs. Ledgett, the proprie tress, to keep the balance as be would spend it too freely. Mrs. Ledgett notified the marshal who made the arrest. He also tried to get money from two or three others but was unsuccessful. Collins was arrested on the same charge at Heppner. He admitted being in jail there but denies un locking the door with the key made from the fork, but says the sheriff left the door open, and like many good men have done, he fell to temptation and walked out. Sheriff Hayes arrived in Condon Thursday evening and took the prisoner to Heppner yesterday morning, where he will await trial in November. Mrs. J. L. Wilkins was a week end visitor at Herren's Mill. County Clerk Hill was a passen ger for Portland, Monday, where he will spend the greater part of his vacation. He will visit Spring field before returning: Gus Mallory, cupid's right hand man in the clerks office has re turned from a two weeks rest in the metropolis and is attending to the duties of the office in the ab sence of Mr. Hill. Among recent parties to join the "Little Heppner" throng at Ditch creek, are Rev. E. P. Warren and wife and Daisy and Ellis Hendric son, who departed for that favored spot Tuesday morning. Friends and constituents of A. W. Lafferty are somewhat shocked and greatly disappointed by the stories of his personal misconduct emanating from Washington. It may be true, as ihe representative from this district declares, that the incident of hia letter writing to a high school girl has been magnified, but in its most conservative phase the story is serious enough to spell defeat for A. W. Lafferty, repres entative from Oregon. Unless he is able to repudiate the story in some more substantial way than at present, he may as well retire gracefully from politics. Other wise he will find himself thrown out. Live Wire. , Literature Ready. The Morrow county booster lit erature which was delivered at the Bank of Heppner has been trans feired to the Palace Hotel, and Manager Wilkins is very anxious that the people take au interest in distributing the same. This is matter in which everyone should co-operate and not leave the work to a very few enterprising and pub lic spirited citizens. The literature is paid for and the only favor asked of the people is that tbey will take a few moments of their time and a few postage stamps and send some of these valuable folders to Eastern friends. This is a splendid time to send out advertising matter, but to put it off much longer will not be of much benefit in catching the fall colonist movement. Get busy friends and eend as many booklets and folders as you think you can affjrd to. You will be benefitted by a little unselfish work of this nature and your little effort may be tha means of inducing sev eral good families to settle in ourj a L . r nr-n . .... miost. Mr. wnjin8 win be very glad to show you where the book lets are if vou will but step into the hotel and inquire for them. An unlimited market for poul try. I he Portland market is yours. We have arranged with Portland connections to handle all the chick ens we can get. Minor & Co. Repairing Buildings. The fronts of the O. K. Restaur ant and the Heppner Bakery are being repaired this week. Both of these buildings sustained con siderable injury in the fire which destroyed the motion picture show and have displayed a somewhat forlorn appearance. It is not known whether the Borchers build ing will be repaired or not. D. C. Gurdane, of Heppner, is spoken of as a probable successor of R. F. Hynd as a member of the baard of commissioners controlling the Jmatilla-Morrow county fair. W. R. Walpole, Jr., lately ap pointed by Governor West, is the other member of the board from Morrow county. Irrigon Irrigator. Evidence of Bootlegging. It is very evident from the ac tions of the few Indians who have been laying around Heppner for some time that there is consider able bootlegging going on. Mon day evening, one of the dusky citi zens became so obstreperous that Marshal McCraw found it necessary to give him a night's lodging in the city bastile. There is a very rigid law concerning the selling of whis key to Indians and if the local au thorities can't see fit to look into the matter it might bo well to in form the federal authorities of the mindomeanor. If Uncle Sam's ollicers get hold of the offenders there will be something worse than a Morrow county jury to buck up aganiut. The rock pile and 6tate roads are tine places for such offend, ers to ponder over their ill-gotten gains. This is a good opportunity for the home rule people to show their fettle. At the Churches. M. E. Clll'RCH Soi th. Sunday School at 10 a. m. and preaching at 11 a. m. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Turner re turned to neppner, Sunday, after an absence of ten weeks. They came from Monument, having visited in tuat vicinity for a few days. Fair News. The office in the Morrow-Umatilla county fair pnvillion in Pendleton has been opened and Mies Paralee Hailey assistant secretary, is busily engaged in the preliminary work to be done before the opening of the fall festival. Appli cants for exhibition space are being re ceived daily and entries bare begun to come in. Particularly gratifying to the directors of tbe lair is the interest being mani' tested by several towns in the county Milton and F-reewater announced sever al weeks ago that they would enter the best display in their history and Her- miston soon followed with a similar an nouncement. Now comes Stanfield to reserve space for a complete exhibit of the products raised about that town, the work of collecting the same being in the hands of G, L. Hurd, secretary of the Commercial club, and A. W. Gray, secretary of the Fruitgrowers' associa tion. Other towns are expected to make reservations soon. Among the entertainment features at the fair this year will be a daily balloon ascension and parachute iumo. This attraction was eecored by a contract with E. J. Arnold, who will bring his entire carnival to Pendleton. By the contract, Mr. Arnold is also to put on several vaudeville sketches in the pa vilion each evening. Visitors at the fair this fall, will have the opportunity of seeing a band ot live ostriches as a contract has been made with Heilman Bros, of San Diego, Calif, for tbe exhibition of a number of these birds. Special attention is being paid this vear to the livestock department. FrankMic.haels, the. well knowD Pilot Rock farmer, is among the first to an nounce his intention of exhibiting blood ed cattle and horses at the fair. Prices at the fair this fall have been fixed at 15 cents for adults and 10 cents for children during the afternoons and 2G cents during the evening. Family season tickets will be sold for S3 and individual season tickets for $2.50. State Forester Sends Qut Warning. At a meeting held in Portland August 5th the State Board of Forestry again cautioned the Slate Fire Wardens in re gard to issuing permits and passed the following resolutions prescribing the conditions under which burning without a permit may be done : Whereas, Section 7. of Oregon's Forest Fire Law provides that "Burning of log piles, stumps, or brush heaps in small quantities, under adequate pre cautions and personal control and in accordance with any regulations which may be adopted by the State Board of Forestry for the purpose of insuring public safety," is permissible; and Whereas, Instances have occurred which tend to show that this section has been taken advantage of to burn in a manner not intended by law, and pub lic safety as well as privata property has been endangered thereby; and Wiikrhas, The law empowers the State Board of Forestry to prescribe the conditions under which such burning can be done; now, theret'ore, be it Kksoia eh, That the following regula tions governing burning without permit be effective on and after August 10, and that these regulatiocsbe given pub licity throuch the press and bv means of posted notices: 1. Burning of log piles, stumps, or brash heaps without permit as provided for under Section 7 of the Oregon Forest Fire Law, is permissable only where the material to be burned is a tafe dis tance from other inflammable material and where the ground surrounJiDg the log piles, stumps, or brush heaps is cleared of any substance wjfich will allow of fire spreading to adjacent wood ed, brush or slab-covered land, either the property of the partes eraged .d burning or that of mother. 2. "Adequate precautions and ptr sonal control" is interpreted as meaning that all fires set without permit must be continually watched both night and day by a sufficient number of men on thu ground for that purpose, and should flra escape steps must be taken at once to extinguish it. 3. Burning done in violation of thesn regulations will submit tbe party or ' parties concerned to prosecution under tbe fire laws. Notice.

K. Notson, Co. School Supt. 00 the 8th inst. I visited the school in District No. P0. The number of pupils was somewhat reduced on account of tha call of the huckleberry patch. The pa pils present were doing well under tha instruction of Miss Marion Fit zgerald. 1 next visited the school at Parker's Mill, which is undJr the direction of Miss Carrie Ward. Some repairs have been made upon the building recently and a fine flag-pole has been erected ia the yard, from which floats a nice dig. The work was moving along nice!?. The following day, I visited the srtioot at Little Camas Fiairie. The wo:k oE the school ha l been interfered with h? the sickness of tbe teacher, Miss M.igia Srerry, but otherwise the work was go ing along smoothly. A new cloak room and a goxl wood-shed have been built recently. These conveniences are ap preciated by the teacher andr!Hn!. Some new maps and o'hor apparatus have been ordered, and these w i'! prove quite an addition to the equipment. f next visited the school at Forfeit Valley, Miss (.5 race Wilhelni i tha teacher, but she has been elected ta teach the school at Haystack in Wheeler county and niU soon close her work at this place. Miss Mav Severance ha been chosen to complete thu term, t noted fine collection of w;i;,iow plant at this school. Many of them were ia bloom, adding much to the attractive ness of the room. On the 4th inst. tbe patrons of the Lone Tree school were cleaning the schoolbouse and grounds, it the coon hour they returned home, and whea they returned in the afternoon, they found the building in ashes. No insur ance carried. This is eriumj'i to this district. It is advisable for lis ' districts to carry a little insurance. t I
