Rood Canyon Item.
While hauling hay for Paul
Webb on Thursday last, Reub
Gaunt met with alivly experi
ence. He was coming down the
Curtis hill with a big load of
bundle hay when a portion of the
harness gave way, letting the
wagon run onto the horses. This
started the team to running
straight for a three wire fence
and it took some good work on
Reubs part to make a turn on the
side hill and keep the team out of
the fence, but he succeeded in
doing it. In order to get out of
the fracas himself he had to
make a jump from the load and
this give him a badly sprained
ankle. He was uninjured other
wise, and thinks it a bum team
that couldent out-run a wagon.
School Notes.
By Bu.it. Notson.
The eighth grade examination
will be held Sept. 5 and 6. Pu
pils who expect to take this ex
amination should notify the Sup
erintendent if they have not al
ready done so.
Teachers and school officers
should remember that all certifi
cates, must be registered each
year.- Teachers are required to
complete the reading circle work
as a condition of having their
certificates registered.
While this is an unusually busy
season, school boards should not
neglect to see that the school
house is in good condition before
the opening of school. The
floors .should be scrubbed, ' the
windows washed, the shades put
in wnrlfinc order, a closed iar or
tank or filter provided for the
watpr the. nunils SUDDlied with
individual drinking cups or re
quired to furnish themselves
with such cuds, a suddIv of cray-
nn nnd erasers on hand, and the
outbuildings should be put in
sanitary condition, ihese may
seem like trifles, but it pays to
have everything ready and in
erood condition at the opening of
school. The State Board of
Health will be more insistent this
year than last in regard to the
individual drinkincr cuds, and in
order to fully meet the require
ments a closed water jar or tame
should be provided, and this
should have a faucet through
which the water may be drawn.
Attention to the window-boards
should be given also, and the
windows should be fixed SO thev
may be raised and lowered easily
for ventilation.

Marv C. Holt
Mary Caid was born in Virginia,
May 23, 1839. Her parents mov
ing to Indiana some years later.
August 2, 1804, she was married
to George G. Kile. To this union
were born two sons, both of
whom died in infancy. Losing
her husband Sept 15, 1867, she
was again married Dec. 27, 1809,
this time to Jas. S. Holt. Two
sons gladdened this union, Geo.
S. and I. E. About 40 years ago
they moved to Iowa, and 15 years
later to Astoria, Ore. and from
thence to Newberg. Oregon, and
about a year ago they came, with
their son I. E., (with whom they
had lived for several years), to
cast their lot with the good people
of Morgan. Shortly after their
arrival there, her husband was
taken from her. The grief and
the lonesomeness, added to her
years of affliction, caused her to
give up and wish for an early
transport to Heaven. She died
Aug. 15, 1912 being in her 74th
Mr. and Mrs. Ben Buschke
were visitors in Heppner on Tues
day. Mr. Buschke has been
busy with his combine ever since
the 10th of July. He had in 2000
acres of grain this year, about
two-thirds of which was hit by
the big hail storm and cut his
yield considerably. He is mak
ing an average of 14 bushels to
the acre but should have had at
least 18 bushels.

Jake Young finished threshing
on his farm the past week the 80
acres struck earlier in the season
by the hail. It had been stated
that the grain was pretty badly
damaged perhaps 25 per cent,
but since threshing it is found
that the damage was very much
more and will be 75 per cent, at
least. Other farmers in that
section and elsewhere have doubt
less suffered in like proportion.
Judge Parker and sheriff Mon
tague, of Condon, visited Hepp
ner on Saturday in the interest
of the Tri-County Fair to be held
at Condon this Fall. These gen
tlemen were enthusiastic in be
half of the fair and are very anx
ious that Heppner and Morrow
county shall be well represented i
there. The fair comes to Mor
row county next year, if we de
sire it, and our citizens should
certainly get busy and prepare a
fine exhibit for the Condon fair.
