A STORY.
By Dad.
Don.'t forget that this is a story.
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.

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.

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.

Question of Who Is Going
To Serve Heppner Is
at Last Settled.
News received from Senator Geo.
E. 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.
