FRANK WOODCOCK. 33-51 RafJtuur, THE ROCKY ROAD TO DUBLIN After our North Morrow County found that oor outfit had arrived in Fair and entertainment was over good order, and was unloaded near the task of collecting and packing the booth assigned to Boardamn ex- those things which we decided to hibit. Also found Mr. Grimm and exhibit at the County Fair began. Mrs. Reik busily engaged in placing After getting it collected and partly the Irrigon exhibit, boxed we made arrangements with 1 In reply to my inquiry as to what Dale Watkins to take it to Heppner kind of a trip they had across coun on the big truck with the Irrigon try, Mrs. Reik related the following exhibit. Everything was boxed and ready to load about twelve o'clock, but as tale of woe: "In loading Hector's pig after everything else was loaded on, the Dale was attending the dance he was : crate bottom was pretty badly dam not ready to begin loading. Irrigon ; aged but the boys thought if placed too, was ready to load about the j carefully it would go through all same time. Mr, Grimm told me that right, so placed a chicken crate on if I would place everything on the top to help hold it in place, then walk he would see that if was load- we started at two o'clock a. m. for ed. This being done and Hector's j the County Fair, via Juniper Canyon, Doroc Jersey pig put in the crate Jim Carty's, and other landmarks we started for home about one well known to Boardman tourists o'clock a. m. When I reached the school house next morning Mr. Signs told me that one package of .school work; had been overlooked in loading and that he had sent it to the depot to go by express. The train arrived on time and Hector and I boarded it and started for the County Fair via Heppner Junction. After the usual tedious wait of several hours we finally got started up the crooked track on our wearisome journey and arrived at the depot at 6:15 p. m., about one hour and a half late. Heppner must have located their depot where it is to avoid the pos sibility of a shot from a Big Bertha reaching the city should one be brot to the end of the track mounted on a flat car ready for action, or it may have been done in the interest of the dray men and bus drivers who are now reaping a harvest twelve months in the year. I would suggest that Heppner either move their de pot up town or furnish free convey ance to and from the de,pot. Visitors might make the second trip tc iheir depot should this be done. After reaching the exposition building we ADDED FAIR PRIZES The following additions to the prize list are necessary to complete the records of the 1921 North Mor row County Fair: Exhibit of Geese 1st prize, Earl Olson.

Finnell, while returning home from Stantleld in his Ford last week, had a narrow escape from what might have been a serious ac cident. When Within a few miles of home, a wheel began to wobble and instead of stopping he turned into the sand along the side of the road, thus turning over his car. Mr. Fin nell had presence of mind to jump when the car started to tip, thus es caping injury. CHAFFEE BUYS PASTIME Casper Snively has sold his Pas time parlors to Mr. Chaffee, the re cent purchaser of the Telephone sys tem here. Mr. Chaffee is talking of exchanging with Ira A. Berger and moving the Pastime Parlors and telephone office over into Mack's building. Mr, Berger taking over the Broyle's building and moving his store into it. It may be a good move for the parties interested. GOING TO NAI.EM FA III? If there is any one from this com munity who plans to attend the State Fair at Salem, kindly notify either M. B. Signs or Mrs. Clare P. Harter, as there are tffree school with Dale Watkins driving the big truck and Mr. Grim in the seat with him. I rode with Mr. Jones in the small truck, which was loaded to its capacity with grapes. Everything went smoothly except ing that I had to push the small truck up a dozen or fifteen grades which the truck was unable to ne gotiate alone, until about two miles from Lexington where the red pig decided that it would be more com fortable among the vegetables than in the crate so cliiued out and rode for considerable distance among the farm products outside of the crate where he was finally noticed so the truck was stopped and he was re placed in the crate which was re paired as best as could be done, when we proceeded on our way. All went well until we passed Lexington about two miles, then the red pig did then and there deliberately and with malice aforethought sever two bars of the crate and step out among the vegetables again. The crate being relieved of part of its load began bouncing around and soon upset the chicken coop which landed on edge with fowls about four deep. As soon as we saw this we tried to overtake the big truck and tell them the hog was out, but being heavily loaded and handicapped by having to help push up the grades the chase lasted for several miles, during which time we attracted the attention of residents along the road so that they stood in their doorways and yards amazed at the flying brigade. As soon as the passenger in the big truck saw the women and young ladies watch ing us, he being a mere man and human, concluded that he was the center of attraction, and began to flirt with those who suited his fancy and as my observation has been that a male flirt is no respector of per son, no;ie escaped. It is no wonder that they watched us In amazement for this is 'what they saw: a big trucK toaaed with vegetables, two calves in crates, a coop of chickens setting on edge, and a big red hog in the middle of the load apparent ly trying to dance an Irish jig or Paddy on a crack with the driver seeming to have no thought other than to break the speed law, and the other occupant flirting with all whom he could, a small truck following at break-neck speed, the driver tooting his horn with all his might and I standing on the running board with both hands to my mouth in form of a megaphone, shouting at the top of my voice trying to attract the at tention of the driver of the big truck. Finally wo reached a point in the road where the leading truck had to slacken its pace so Mr. Jones jumped out and. bei,.g a pretty good sprinter, succeeded in getting near enough that by whistling a loud blast on his fingers he attracted their attention enough so that they looked back and then Liought the truck to a standstill. As soon as the truck stopped the pig sat down on one of Mrs. Cra mer's prize pumpkins and never said a word After Mr Grim had righted the chicken coop he noticed that the pig looked verj angry and hot under the collar, so immediately apologized for his undue haste in trying to reach the animal show. It seems that he was forgiven as the pig soon laid down among the vegetables and went to sleep, it be ing the first opportunity since start ing on the journey. As the pig showed no inclination to leave the load and the crate being about two miles behind where we had to re move It from the track before we could continue the chase we again started for the fair at a more mo derate pace. About two miles from ! Heppner the small truck was again unable to make the grade alone but reached the fair grounds at eleven o'clock a. m., having crossed the great plains in the record breaking time of exactly nine hours. After unloading the boys bought a new radiator and returned to the location of the one ton truck with its load of grapes. After replacing the damaged radiator with a new one the truck finished the journey on its own steam. After getting our ex hibit placed we anxiously waited to see what the south end of the coun ty was going to put up against our products, but we looked in vain as not a farmer appeared the first day. The second day a Billy Goat, his wife and two kids arrived, also four buck sheep, and absolutely nothing else in live stock appeared from the south end. It was fortunate that Mrs. Reik look a full blood Jersey bull along to compete with her six months old Jersey bull calf, which she sold for U00., after winning a first prize of $5.00. As there were no far mproducts to compete with ours we were award ed a goodly number of ribbons. The number that Irrigon received was so ;:reat that I was unable to remember it. Mrs. Reik alone carried home blue ribbons enough to make a small garment with a few red ones for trimming. Our County School Sup erintendent was sadly disappointed when told that the two canning teams she had been promised would not be there, and as the package by express did not reach the fair build ing until the evening of the first day, and not knowing what it con tained, she had a very unpleasant day as the other school districts, ex cepting Heppner, had sent even less ihan Boardman from where she had expected so much. After the package arrived and was opened she brightened consider- i ably and proceeded to rearrange her ! ooths so as to show the Boardman school exhibit to the best possible advantage. The Boardman exhibit consisted of sewing and baking for which we re ceived a goodly number of ribbons, and considerable prize money. She certainly made the best possible out of what was sent to her and should be thanked by the school district. The ladies' of Heppner had a very fine display of fancy work so that the few ribbons we received in this line for the few pieces entrusted to us were well earned. Aside from this display and a very fine display of grain and a few fleeces of wool the south end had absolutely nothing on exhibition. We would have been well pleased with one half the ribbons received if we had had something to compete against. I thank all those in charge of the fair including the lady who so kind ly helped me to enter the fancy work which I was not familiar with, also thanks to the ladies who had charge of the Heppner fancy work as they were of much assistance to me. Yours for a much better County Fair to be held in the north end one year in three, or a bigger and better North Morrow County Fair with everything consigned to their respec tive homes as soon as the fair is over.
