HEPPNER, OREGON, FRIDAY, JUNE 29, 1917.
NUMBER 8
CROSS $15,753.90
Owing to circumstances over
which the peopleof Morrow coun
ty had no control preliminary
work in the Red Cross campaign
wasdelayed to such an exteut that
the county was almost a week
behind other Oregon counties in
making its final drive. Failure
of Portland headquarters to send
out either information or sup
plies necessary in the organiza
tion of a work of this kind, until
after the other counties were
organized and at work, handicap
ped the workers to some extent
but they all came to the finish
smiling aud happy because they
"brought in the bacon" to the
tune of more than $15,000.00
better than $3.00 per capita for
every man, woman and child in
the county.
The plan of districting the
county worked well and every
team made a record they may
well be proud of.
Following is the report by dis
tricts of workers engaged and
amounts collected:

George Perry came in from
Rock creek the first of the week
to get acquainted with his new
8-Oldsmobile recently bought
from Harold Cohn. George says
he wanted to get the darned
critter halter brokr before circus
day so as to give his wife a safe
ride to town. Before tackling
the machine for his first ride
George tied blinders over the
headlights and when asked what
the idea was he replied that he
always did that when breaking
in bad cayuses and supposed it
would work the same way with
an Olds.

The council chamber was well
tilled last Friday evening at an
enthusiastic meeting of taxpayers
and business men who got to
gether to discuss the very per
tinent question of much needed
street improvements with a view
to solving the dust nuisance.
W. B. Barratt was chosen
chairman of the meeting and J.
O. Hager was named to act as
secretary. Mr. Barratt stated
that the object of the meeting
was to get an expression of
opinion from the taxpayers as
to what their wishes are in the
matter of handling the dust
question and called upon those
present to express themselves.
Sam Hughes was the first
speaker making it clear that he
is not pleased with present con
ditions. Be favored bonding
the town for modem street im
provements and wanted the
street paved from curb to curb.
W. L. Richardson favored
bonding under the Bancroft
plan by which the cost of the
pavement would be assessed
against the abutting property.

P'atber O'Rourke spoke strong
ly in favor of improvements.
He said he had traveled exten
sively all over the country and
had never seen as backward a
towu as Heppner in the way of
improvements- considering the
wealth of the town. "You can't
keep clean in Heppner," de
clared Mr. O'Rourke, "A man in
my profession is supposed to
wear black clothes. Khaki
would be more appropriate in

James Brown, 70 years old, a
well known resident of Pendle
ton, is at the point of death at
the home of his brother-in-law,
Andrew Reany, near Lexington,
where he was visiting, from in
juries received Saturday when
he was attacked and mangled by
an infuriated jack. Mr. Ueany
had led the animal from his stall
to the watering trough and Mr.
Brown was drawing water from
the well when the animal, pre
sumably angered by the approach
of another of his species in an
adjoining pasture, siezed Mr.
Brown by the thigh with his
teeth, flung him in the air, and
shook him as a dog might shake
a rat. The grip of the vise-like
jaws did not relax until the en
tire muscle of the thigh was torn
away when the crazed animal
took another hold this time fas
tening his teeth on the thigh hone
crushing it to splinters. Mr.
Reany tried to pull the brute a
way but without avail and then
tried to open his pockef knife
intending to cut the jack's
throat but in the excitement of
the moment could not do so.
A haying crew, working near
by came- with clubs and alter
beating the jack almost to death
succeeded in freeing the ictini.
As this is written it is reported
that Mr. Brow n cannot possibly
recover and his death is hourly
expected.
Stockmen acquainted with the
jack family say that as a rule
they are quiet and docile but
when once they lake the war
path they go the limit.
One stockman tells of a fierce
fight he once witnessed between
a jack ami a big, lighting bull
dog, the latter being the ag
gressor. The big bull secured
his favorite hold on th" lack's
nose when the jack began
throwing him iu to the air and
Hailing Ins iioiiy on tin ground

jack then got hold of the dog
over the spine broke his back
and then proceeded to trample
him to death at his leisure.
