Wheat Looks Good but Rain
la Needed.
A. A. Morse, special represent
ative of the freight department
of the Ilarriman lines, has just
returned from a trip over the
Shaniko and Condon branches of
the O. R. & N.,reporta the Port
land Oreconian. and says that
stories of damage to growing
wheat by frost in that territory
are unfounded. He found wheat
in excellent condition throughout
the territory visited and says
there will be a crop this season
that will equal the large one of
last year. The crop is all in and
rain is needed. However, sev
era! weeks will elapse before the
lack of rain will work any
d&miara. v
Mr. Morse says that In the
territory to the two feeder lines
he traveled over, there is about
10 per cent increase in the barley
acreage, with a proportionate
fallinir off of Winter wheat,
leaving the total grain acreage
about the same as last season

Crazed with jealousy, at 3:30
Sunday afternoon, Henry P.
Morrison, a brakeman on the O.
R & N., shot and killed his
sweetheart . Nora Wright
wounded her escort, Barney
Ahalt and later turned the same
sun on himself. The tragedy
occurred near Morgan, between
Heppner and Cecils.
Morrison himself expired five
hours after the tragedy, making
the second death. Ahalt's wound
is comparatively slight and he
will be all right in a few days.
It appears that Morrison was
much in love with Miss Wright
but she did not look v-ith favor
upon his attentions. Seeing Miss
Wrisht and Ahault out riding
Sunday afternoon, Morrison went
alonar the railroad track to head
them off. Getting ahead of them
he climbed a bank where the
wairon road runs through a cut
and then, ordering them to say
their crayers. opened fire.
Ahault at once whipped the
team into a run and tried to es
cape. Morrison followed, empty
ing his gun as he ran. Ahault
drove to the home of Mr. Morgan
but the girl was already dead,
Ahault was wounded in the arm,
but not seriously. Morrison fol
owed to the Morgans where on
learnine that the girl was dead,
turned his gun on himself and
sent a bullet into his forehead.
Morrison was raised at Arhng
ton. and was also well-known in
Condon, having worked here last
summer. He was a good, sober,
industrious boy, well liked by his
companions and fellow-workmen.

Althoujrh on the board o;
directors of the Condon Park
Association, we are forced to ad
mit that the so-called park and
race track are propositions ol
which any city has a perrect
rieht to feel ashamed. We have
had two inquiries from horsemen
resarding the track here, who on
learning the true condition of
things, would haVe nothing to do
with it and several prominent
business men of this city have
expressed their disgust It is
hieh time the matter of putting
the grounds into condition was
taken up, in fact they should
have been fixed over a year ago,
There is not one stall in the
barns that is fit to stable a horse,
the water is almost two hundred
vards from where it should be,
the erand stand is going to pieces,
there never was anything that
could properly be called a judge's
stand, the fences are as good as
none at all and last and most lm
nortant the track in its present
condition is not fit to browse a
herd of town cows over. All the
horses which are to '. be worked
have to be taken" away to some
town where there is a track
Truly, a nice thing to be said of
the progressiveness of the Con
don Park Association.
