SEPT. 13, 14, 15
The next meeting: of the Mor
row County Fair, September 13,
14 and 15, promises to be bigger,
better and more interesting than
any of its predecessors. The
management is leaving nothing
undone to insure a successful
meeting and one that will add to
Morrow county's past laurels as
one of the leading grain and
stock counties of Oregon.
In spite of the continued dry
weather and consequent crop
shortage, Secretary Smead as
sures the Herald that a splendid
agricultural exhibit is already in
sight and is being added to every
day. The people of the county
take pride in their annual Fair
and that is what counts when
the matter of a creditable exhib
it is being considered.
Among the numerous outside
attractions already engaged for
the big event are Parson's Nov
elty Band, of Portland, compos
ed of men and women artists who
who wtfl furnish instrumental
and vocal music; the Hitt Fire
works Co., who will put on a
grand display of pyrotechnic
wonders, a Ferris wheel, a "Car
ry-Us-AH" and many minor at
tractions.
Mrs- Edyth Tosier Weatherred,
a member of the State Fair
Board, and one of Oregon's most
talented women, will be' present
during the entire meeting and
will speak each day on some per
tinent topic.
Hon. James Withycombe, gov
ernor of Oregon, will be present
and make an address on Satur
day, September 15th. The gov
ernor is an eminent citizen,. an
acknowledged authority on all
matters pertaining to the fann
ing and livestock industries and
his address will doubtless be an
illuminating feature of the meet
ing. .
There will be dancing in the
pavilion every evening and all
lover3 of the terpsichorean art
will be able to enjoy their favor
ite pastime to the limit.
All Morrow county will attend
the Fair and the occasion will be
made a real gala time in the his
tory of Heppner.
Now Bank Building Looming Up
At last the bricklayers are
busy ou the new home for the
First National Bank and enough
of the white brick walls are in
place to give au inkling of the
handsome appearance the build
ing w:ll present when completed.
The trusses which will support
the second floor are now in
place and their solid appearance
indicates something of the sta
bility which will characterize
the new building, which, in it
self is typical of the business
stability and financial solidity of
the institution itself.
When completed the First Na
tional will not only be far aud
away the finest building in the
county but it may be looked up
on as typical of the new Hepp-
LOCAL BOARD CERTIFIES 40 MEN

encies or occupation. It is generally believed, however, that from
the 46 men certified the required quota of 41 men will be retained.
Following is a list of those certified to the district board,

an extended eastern trip during

in Missouri and relatives and
friends in Kansas, Texas and
California.
While in the Mississippi valley
they experienced some extreme
ly hot weather for a few days
then showers came and during
the rest of their stay in Missouri

quent rains. Corn and other
crops there are immense and the

records.
