Oregon as second-class matter VOLUME 1 HEPPNER, OREGON, OCT. 6, 1914 NUMBER 33 MORROW COUNTY IS REPRESENTED AT CONDON EI Blackhorse was well represented in Heppner last Saturday. Mr. Bell, one of the pioneers of the district was in the city; Dan Henshaw was in and said that he harvested a fine crop this year and will send the semi-weeklv to one of his brothers back in Nebras ka, the grasshopper state; Mr. and Mrs. Henry Frad, well known people were m aoing their trading; Roy Missildine and wife, progressive ranchers also transacted business here; Joe Moyer was seen on the streets of the city talking politics. NOTES FROM THE HERALD'S "LIVE HE" I I CORRESPONDENT AT IE Morrow County people were quite conspicious at the Gilliam County Fair at Condon the last three days of last week. Race horses were also plentiful from this county. Chief among the latter was "Canapa," the bay mare owned by Ed Patterson. Sir. Patterson, accompanied by Mrs. Pat terson, took in the Condon race meet on their way from Juarez, Mexico, to Heppner, their home. "Canapa," en tered the five-eighths mile race on Thursday, the three-fourths mile race on Friday and the mile race on Sat urday and took first money in all three starts in easy fashion. "Canapa" has been winning steadily for the past two years, during which time her owner, Mr. Patterson, has traveled ex tensively over the Eastern States and in Mexico. Lou Davidson, John Blake, Ben Swaggart and Jack Eads were also there with a string of horses. "Little Dutch," owned by Eads, won his 24th straight race for this season when he took the quarter-mile heat on Thurs day. Kay Connor of lone riding Mor row County horses, won three straight races on Friday. "Croppy" won the Maiden Race in handy fashion and in the half-mile heat Connor's horse, ".Shannon," came under the wire the winner, lien Swaggart's sorrel stallion "Oregon Cantata," won third money in the Maiden Race and looks like a comer. This horse was by far the prettiest animal seen on the track dur ing the meet. "Mamie," the bay mare owned by 11. Cramer of Hardman was also one of the winners during the meet, taking third place in one of the races on Friday. An exciting feature of the meet was the race on Saturday between Mark Forrest of Condon and vounir Put.mnn of Fossil on motorcycles. They cir cled the track ten times, five miles, in 4:51, over ISO miles per hour. Most of the Morrow County people attending the Condon fair returned home on Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Ed Patterson will also be in Heppner again in the course of a few days. They have been gone over two years. Among those who went from this county to Condon, and whose names are not noted elsewhere in this issue, were: Mr. and Mrs. John Scrivner, Mr. and Mrs. Lou Davidson, Henry Stewart. Lee Scrivner, Harlan Mc Curdy, Onn Brians and family, and several others from Gooseberry; Vic Groshen and Dell Ward of Heppner and Geo. Perry of Lonerock. L. K. Harlan was also there to perform his old duties as tuba player for the band. All those whom the writer talked with were well pleased with the fair and the entertainment offered but there was some complaint nbout the lack of rooming accomodations. The stock exhibit of the fair was very good but not upto the standard set last. year. Neither was the fen. cral agricultural exhibit in the main pavilion. The fancy work department was excellent. A largo number of side shows, a nicrry-go-round and a ferris wheel did a rushing business and the glass blower's show was well patronized. The dances each night were well attended and visitors and home people alike were much pleased with the music furnished by the Wheat City Orchestra. One thing that impresses the visi tots in Condon is the paved Main Street. What was formerly a rocky road, and a muddy, rtusshy thorough fare after a rain, is now a fine boule vard and a credit to the town. Nearly every walk on the main street is of cement and this also is a great and noticable improvement. The weather for the fair was not very good. Thurs day was cold, and Friday morning it ruined hard. A Miff wind, however, dried things up so that the racing track was good in the afternoon. Saturday Ms a cold day also but people were dressed warm and didn't seem to mmd it much. Everybody, in fact, seemed to enjoy the bracing air, and as the races were on the whole quite close and exciting the visitors were well satisfied with the three The Moral Squad held the most im portant meeting in the Squad's his tory a few nights ago in the depot. This was held behino! closed doors and no one was allowed but the regular members to listen to the deliberations. It has leaked out that Jim Huddleston brought the main business before the Squad. He appeared before the Squad as Agent for Cruelty to Animals Lea gue and just what the complaint was, we were unable to learn. Doug. Gurdane claims to know all about it. Lee Slocum had a little scare a few days ago which he does not care to repeat. He went to the barn and in striking a match to light the latern the head flew off and lit in a pile of straw which at once burst into flames. He managed to get it out and then betook himself to the electric licht plant and ordered the barn wired for electric lights. We learn bv ex perience. There passed away from this life at his home at College Place, Wash ington, on September 30, 1914, one of Morrow County's Pioneers, whose pure, upright life in the community will be a household word long after the Pioneers of the Eichtmile cnuntrv have passed away. ,lihu Burrot Stanton was born in Logan county, Ohio in 1847. When a boy he moved to Iowa with his parents. In 1870 he was married to Miss Mary J. Fuqua in Jefferson County, Iowa. To this union eight cnnaren were Dorn, seven boys and one girl. One bov died in mfancv. The daughter, Mrs. Cora Ashbaugh, was drowned in the Heppner flood. The wife and six sons remained to mourn the loss of husband and father. The sons are Charles Stanton, of Eightmile; Omar Stanton, of Hard man; Harlan, of Centralia, Wash.; Elbert, Bennie and Clyde, of Walla Walla, Wash. In an early day Mr. and Mrs. Stanton located in the Eight mile country where they resided till a few years ago, when they moved to Washington. Mr. Stanton was con sidered very fair and just in his deal ings with men, and a man of unusual ly good judgement, he being frequent ly called upon to "arbitrate" for his neighbors. I he cause of his death was cancer of the stomach. His re mains were interred in the Walla Walla cemetery. The Woman's Re lief Corps and the G A. R. conducted the services.

He and his wife were greatly liked here and we hate to see them go. .It is rumored that he will go to Denver. Mr. T. M. Benedict was in town last Saturday asking for bids on a large store building 42x00 to be built at Morgan, Ore. It is to be two stories high, the lower story to be used as a store room and it is thought that the upper story will be used by the Odd Fellows and for other social gather ings. It is reported that Lexington is going to organize a football team for the coming seasoon. Why not jfone and Heppner organize town teams also. We could no doubt see some rat tling good games this fall between these three teams. lone has enough huskies to get up a strong aggrega tion, most oi them old timers too.

CLAUD COX INS 3D PRIZE III POULTRY SHOW AT SALEM A traveling salesman has done honor to his profession. Last Sat urday afternoon when George Allyn, the well known Lexington blacksmith, cranked his Ford, the machine started for the side entrance of the Palace but was stopped when the salesman jumped to the front seat and shut oft the power. Nat Webb Jr., brother of Paul Webb, dropped in the city the latter part of last week and will be around a few days. BUTTER CREEK PEOPLE I Claud Cox returned Sunday night from the State Fair. Claud took third money with his white Wyon dotte chickens in one of the closest chicken contests ever held at the State Fair. There were 1039 caged birds in the exhibit and 75 or 80 in the class in which his pullets took third. Many of the chicken raisers in the community say that this is an excep tionally good showing for his first attempt. Many who have been raisinir fancy chickens for years did not get in on the money. Claud says that he learned a great deal about the chicken business and incidentally sold enough chickens and took enough orders for eggs that he paid his expenses for the journey. All the children of the community were on hand for the show at the Star last Friday night when Rawlins and his pet boar were in town. Raw lins has spent considerable time in travel and shows pictures of his wan derings. He had several articles of dress used in the colder climates and other curios which he has gathered in foreign lands.
