Depicted at Pavilion Saturday
Evening
It was a big- affair. It made the
old timers think of by gone days. It
made the new comers and the rising
generation wonder how much fun
they missed by arriving too late. It
was fun from start to finish, served
in the raw without pink tea trim
mings or floral decorations. It show
ed tlhe bunch grass town of 20 or 30
or 40 years ago and there was not
much left to the imagination except
that the fire .water and bug juice
served over the long bar with the
real brass rail had the "kick" delet-
ed, the ladies on the floor wore
leither Mother Hubbards or nert to
lothing and the profits from gamb
ling tables, without contribution .to
t'he ."kitty" went, to a penny, into
the Salvation Army sack.
We are writing about the "Days
of '49 Dance and Carnival" given
by Heppner Lodge of Elks last Sat
urday evening in the fair pavilion for
the purpose of raising Morrow coun
ty's quota of $1200 to the Salvation
army fund. They got the money.
There was no admission fee and af
ter you got well within the Palace

in gladsome circulation and real old

prohibitionist so you could notice it
but he seems to have finally joined
the dry forces. At leasthe is the it'rst
man in town to build a Simon pure
prohibition cement sidewalk. The
new structure is along the south side
of his stone building on Willow
street and is sin inches wide and
about two feet high. It takes a duly
sober man to negotiate tie contrap

if everybody in Heppner is not in
that condition perpetually they I

This year the picnic will be held

in the I. O. 0- F. hall Sunday, June
8th. The meeting was called for the
purpose of giving all citizens of Mor
row county who believe in freedom,
for Ireland an opportunity to lend
their suppo.t. Father O'Hourke was
nominated as chairman of the meet
ing and F. A. McMenamin as secre
tary. Several musical numbers were
rendered by Miss Peggy O'Hourke.
Short talks setting forth the justice
of Ireland's cause were made by
Father O'Hourke, F. A. McMena
niin, P. A. Mollahan, Jo'hn Byrne,
j Frank McCabe and Barney Ward.
j A subscription was taken up and
over $2000 was subscribed for the
purpose of assisting Ireland in her
fight for liberty.
In common wit'h all the other
counties in the state Morrow county
cast a light vote at Tuesday's elec
tion but unlike many of the other
counties' Morrow county voted right
on every measure. Progress seemed
to be the uppermost thought in the
minds of the voters and the result
should mean much to the early fu
ture development of the county and
state.
Pine City precinct is entitled to an
honor flag as the only precinct in
tVn e county that cast a unanimous
vote for the road bonds while Goose
berry is the only precinct entitled to
the dubious distinction of voting
against the bonds although north

berry coming in with a tie vote on
the bonding question.
