Dinner.
The Rhea Creek and Liberty Sunday
Schools held a combined picinc last
Sunday on Ralph Adkin's ranch. It
was m the grove near the creek, well
sheltered and arranged for the Bpeak
1:4', thiging and picnic dinner.
The program started ;n the morning
with a song by the Liberty Sunday
School, Joilowed by a prayer by Mr.
J. J. Adkin. Eddie Barl'jw and G'iy
Barlow gave very good recitations
and the Rhea Creek Sunday School
sang. Cecii Orr and Cyrene Liewal
len delighted the audience with recita
tions and the Liberty Young People
class lang a song. There were si
other lecitations by Edna Turner,
Minnie Etrlow, Baaal Turner, I.eta
Barlow, Louis Liewallen, and Roy
Barlow. Mrs. Ralph Becket Bang a
very pleasing solo and the Rhea
Creek Sunday School sang another
song. The main address of the morn
ing was delivered by Professor
Howard. Prof. Howard was lately
connected with the Milton Academy
but has moved to Stanfield where he
will be next year. He delivered a
(rood talk and developed the thought
that success was not measured by
.ositions attained, or prominence, but
by accomplishing whatever we under
take in life, however small that might
be.
It was twelve o'clock when the
morning program was over and the
platform was cleared for the dinner.
There were several hungry looking
individuals there that evidently hadn't
had much to eat for the last few days
and were laying off for the dinner.
Luther Huston was given first prize
as the biggest eater. Uncle Jerimiah
took first honors for the largest
family there. Mr. H. C. Gay was the
maddest man there. He made a talk
before the crowd to get a little money
for the preacher. He expected to get
forty dollars but only got fourteen.
He admits that he was the ugliest
man also. L. K. Harlan ottered to
print the picture of the woman who
would make him a bowl of fruit salad.
Several bowls came into view about
that time. Some of the city people
who came in a hurry and didn't put
up much lunch joined the table and
everyone was filled.
In the afternoon there was a song
by the audience and one from the
choir. Harley Adkins sang a very
beautiful solo. He is a student at
Milton College and is in the glee club
and certainly can agitate the ether.
The preaching wan by Brother Tab-
er and was well received. Mr. Tabev
is a young man and is making good
as a preacher. His text was, "Who
soever will, may come." After the
sermon there were several songs and
the meeting was adjourned.
Mr. John W. Beckett Jr., who has
just returned from the University,
was at the picnic. John was one of
the big men at the U. this year. John
Huston who has been at the Univer
sity was at the picnic also.
Walter Gay who took the humorous
honors at Lexington was in evidence.
Mr. J. J. Adkins took a day off to
come to the picnic. He says that his
crops are fine and it is just like pick
ing money from bushes. Grandpa
Bennett has been staying at his son-in-law's
place, Mr. .H C. Gay, and
came down to the picnic to see his old
friends. Claud Huston came around
to see the editor to see if he didn't
want to get into a more honest position.
It is surely a sign of progress when
people of two communities can gather
and hold a religious meeting of this
kind. As we grow wiser we are
tramping down the walls of prejudice,
overcoming the barriers of distrust
and suspicion, and getting more capa
ble of understanding our fellow men.
We are discussing few vague theo
logical doctrines. We are advancing
because we are dealing with the here
and now. The people of Rhea Creek
and Liberty are traveling in the right
direction, they are setting us an
example and all such tokens a brigh
ter, happier, and freer day.

Monday night. He was examined by
local doctors but no serious injuries
were found.
Final organization of the Morrow
County Creamery & Cold Storage
Company has at last been completed
and preliminary reports have been
sent to the Secretary of State. At
a recent meeting of the Board of
Directors several important items of
business were settled. The report of
promoter A. L. Sparling was heard
and accepted. Mr. Sparling was paid
for his offorts in helping to organize
the company and also paid a commis
sion for the stock he had sold. This
ended Mr. Sparling's connection with
the organization for the present.
Election of officers took place at
this meeting and the following men
were selected to guide the destinies of
the company: W. B. Barratt, Presi
dent; J. T. Knappenberg, Vice-Presi
dent; Jeff Jones, Secretary; Clyde

EXCITING
RE
RACE AT IE
An exciting horse race was pulled
off at lone Monday between John
Blake's new stallion and Henry
Cramer's mare, "Mamie." They got off
to a beautiful start and for the entire
race there was no daylight between
them. At the finish the stallion nosed
ahead and won by a neck. The win
ner carried off a purse of $100. Con
siderable excitement was aroused
over the race and during the cele
bration those who attend are assured
of some good sport in this line.

Dear Editor:
Will you give me the latest ver
sion of the poem, "The lamb that
Mary had?"
This is one version that I heard
some time ago but cannot say
whether it is the latest version or
not.
Mary had a diminuative sheep
Whose external covering was as
devoid of color as the congenaled
aqueus fluid which occasionally
presents insurmountable barriers to
the travelers in the Sierras.
And everywhere that Mary pere
grinated,
The juvenile Southdaws was certain
to get right up an go after her.
It tagged her to the alphabet dis-
pensory one day,
Which was in contravention to the
established UBage,
It caused the youthful students
cachinate and skyfungel,
Mr. Amanuel C. Petteys, one of the
oldest pioneers in Oregon, dropped in
the Herald office last Monday. Mr.
Petteyt lives near lone and has seen
Oregon change from wild unin-
habitated country to one of the best
states in the Union. He had with
him his patent cane. By a slight
manipulation this instantly changes
to a fine fishing rod. Hs says that
the state was never in such good con
dition as far back as he can remem
ber. Mr. Petteys agreed to tell few
of the interesting tales about early
Oregon and we expect to have him
in the list of Prominent People of
Morrow County ere long.
J. T. Knappenberg of lone, who was
in The Herald office Tuesday, assures
us that on July 2, 3 and 4, Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday of this
week, lone will stage one of the most
mccessful celebrations ever held in
Morrow County.
Preparations have been made for
several weeks to the end that all visi
tors might enjoy three days of re
creation and amusement of all variety.
The musical and literary program will
be held on the morning of the 3rd, and
will bo followed by the principal
ipeaker of the day, Dr. James Withy
'ombe, republican nominee for gov
ernor, who will deliver a patriotic address.
The baseball games, which will be
held each afternoon between the
teams representing lone and Heppner,
will be one of the principal fcatuies
of the celebration. lone has not lost

of eight pieces, from Portland to
furnish music for the dances. Mem
bers of the orchestra wil also assist
the lone band in furnishing concert
music for the streets and at the ball
games.
The people of lone deserve to be
well patronized for preparing such
and elaborate celebration and it is
evident, from the favorable reports
we have been hearing on all sidcH,
that their entertaining powers will
be taxed to the utmost on at least
the last two days.

Editor, Heppner Herald,

went in to sea if Thompson Bros.
Had any. Jim said they most always
had them on hand, but the demand
had been so grate that he wus clean
out of them. Jim told me I might

went to sea Al. about it and he said
"No, he had the Moral part of it,
but Ralph Yeagcr had the Squad end.

he had gone out to instruct the Rood
boys to pii'h hay. She said Ralph
took a book with him, entitled, "How
I used to pich hay when I wus a boy,"
10 if he had forgot anything about
hay he could read it to them out of
the book. She said Ralph forgot
to take his gloves, so shee expected
him back any minit. I didn't have
time to wate for him, so I called him

The body of Mr. Louis Groman was
found dead on the railroad track just
south of the Heppner Milling Com
pany's warehouse last Saturday morn
ing by Mr. Andy Hayes. A short
time after Mr. Hayes arived at the
mill he saw the body and the sheriff
was notified. Mr. Evans came and
took charge of the body and recogni
zed it as Louis Groman.
Groman is a mason by trade and has
stayed at the Star hotel for consider
able time. He had been confined in
the pest house because he had been
with Sherm. Shaw who has been
seriously ill lately. He had been
drinking heavily previous to this
and was probably under its influence
when he managed to get out of the
pest house early Friday night.
About ten o'clock that night, Mr.
E. B. Driscoll, who llve3 between the
peat house and the warehouse, was
awakened by the dog. He got up and
law Groman trying to get through the
fence. He went over to the fence and
tried to keep Groman in and finally
sent for the marshall. In the mean
time Groman got out by the back way
and started in the direction of the
warohou.se. Mr. DWhcoII said that he
heard him full off the platform but
thought that he would get up and go
off.
Dr. Allison and Dr. McMurdo both
examined the body and found no in
juries that would produce death and
expressed the opinion that the system

could not recuperate from the shock,

Mr. Alex Cornett summoned Jas.

and returned a verdict of death from
natural causes.
