It's all about Doc getting married. It may be difficult for you to realize the fact that he is mart led, but it is a fact, nevertheless, JURt why Doc got married I don't know and I don't know that he knows. Fact is I don't believe he thought muoh about it until the sapient Solons of the late Oregon legislature decreed that all male men who may beoome candidates for mat rimony must henieforth procure a physician's certificate stating that such candidate is mentally and physically aualified to assume the grave and re epnosible position aa tbe head of a prospective family. This utterance of that august body he seemed to regard as a challenge, a kind of banrer. and it roused his Irish. It peeved him. The only way he could see to assert his manhood and resent the foul insin uation hurled at hira by tbe legislature was to enter the lists of the beneuiots. This was his defi. Then, too, the lapid flight of years, and the steady advance of old age may have had something to do with it, for be has already reached an elevation from which the 30's oan be seen He saw plainly that if he ever expected to emulate the example of his Older brother, and maintain the reputation of the family as a liberal supporter of the public schools that he had no time to fool away. And then, didn't he have a perfect right to get married if ha wanted to? Wasn't he a free born American citizen of lawful age? Was h6 not worthy and well qualified? Suppose he was the youngest of the family, should that forever bar him from working in double barnes ? Not if he knew himslef. Didn't Earl Gilliam get married under such conditions, and had Earl any rights that he did nut possess? Then why should he not get married? The case was clear, he , nn M That was settled. lie communicated the results of his HANDLE BUS cogitations to his beBt girl : took her as it were into his most secret counsels Togethet they canvaBsed the proposi tion from every point and angle. Thev looked the cold facts square in the face. They deliberately discussed the obstacles that were to be en countered on the journey of life to Impede their progress and embitter their days. Ihey tried to survey the entire horizon, and they did their best. They discovered that they were of one mind and heart, and decided that since their two hearts beat as one henceforth thev would "pad the road together." Another point settlod. It only remained to dispose df he legal impediments. The physician's certificate was pro cured. Armed with this precions document there was no difficulty in extorting from the accomodating count clerk that roost formidable but necessary piece of paper known in legal phrase as a marriage license and which con fers upon cercain parties the privilege of addrsing a few well ohosen re marks to the principals in the traus ation and in the name of the common wealth to ptooounce them husband and wife. All rght so far. Doc could see that the rest of the road was not difficult for was not pater familas qualified bv law to puuh this "alory tioket" and send him on his wy rejoicing? Sure. Then to the pater he goes to present his re quest and solicit his aid. It was August the third, anl his smile was so chld-like and bland that he made you think of Ah Sin the heathen Chinee. Dad was agreeable and so another point was settled. And now Doo is married and Vi bnt who is Vi? Why Vi is the best eirl. And she is married too. She rejoices in the possession of a new oognoman. . She's Mrs. Doc. And thev lived happy ever after. 0.1 R. 8 H. CO. INTERESTED I FAIR Will Offer Suitable Prize For Dry Land Exhibit. In conversation this week with Mr. J. B. Huddleston, agent of the O -W. R. & N. Co. at Heppner. we learn that the railroad company are interesed in the coming Morrow coun ty air and will put up a suiatble and valuable premium for the best exhi bit produced through the use of dry farming methods. This will be well worth trying for, and we hope to be able to announce right away what the premium will be, and just the class of exhibit it will be offered on. It is certainly encouraging to the directors of tne fair to have the com pany show this interest, and it shonld be a stimulous to our citizens to work harder than ever in making tbe fair a grand success. Just what concessions will be made in tbe way of reduced rates on the railroad has not yet been announced but we are led to believe that the O. W. R & N. Co. will do what they can for us along this line, and that suitable rates will be made for the fair season. Of this we will be able to make definite announcement a little later. Fair Board Not Responsible. Individuals may have theif own ideas as to advertising and may use their space in the local paper as they see fit. For this the Fair Board is in no way responsible, and should not be retaliated against because of some thing that is said through this med ium by some ene takimr an active part in the promotion of the fair. Give us vonr hearty co-operation and do not try to "get even" with others by withholding your support from the Fair. The Board is in no way re sponsible for these matters. W. W.

Chamberlain Wednesday announced the confirmation by the seuate of the appointment of W. A. Richardson as postmaster at Heppner. To Mr. Richardson this was welcome news and he is busy receiving tbe congrat ulations of his friends over bis sac- cess. The Heppner postmastership has been tied up, as it were, for many months ow'ug to the difficulty, we presume, of deciding between the var ious applicants, and in the meantime Postmaster Smead has gone along serenely drawing the salary and look ing after tbe duties of the office and biding the time of his retirement. This paper congratulates Mr. Rich ardson. He is on old resident of Heppner. a man well qualified for the plane and we can assure our readers that he will be a courteous and effi cient public servant. We presume that Mr. Richardson will assume his duties as soon as he can properly qualify.
