I JfiS" VOL. 30. NO. 23. HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1913 SUBSCRIPTION, $1.50 PER YEAR. DAILY 1 LARGE AEROPLANE AT FAIR. Contract Signed Up for This Big Sensation of the Coming Morrow County Fair Other Attractions Also Grounds now Being Put in Shape for Pavillion, And Stables for Housing Stock Being Erected. There was a rousing business meeting of the Fair Board at the Palace Hotel parlors on Tuesday evening, attended by al! members of the Board and a number of others who are on the various committees, as well as several citizens who are greatly interested in the success of the coming event. At this meeting the Board was in position to make def inite announcement as to some of the amusement features that will be pulled off. The chief one of these, of course, is the aeroplane flights that have been under consideration for several weeks past. The. amusement committee has been in correspondence with several different booking agencies for this attraction, but until the past week were not able to close a deal that was satisfactory. They have at last secured one of the best'aviators on the coast through the Allen Booking Agency of Portland. The contract calls for flights daily by (Jhristofferson, the man who never fails to fly unless wind and weather conditions are entirely against him. He is acknowledged to stand in the lead among men of his class, and the people of the county can be assured that they will have splendid entertainment in this line. Depend upon it that the committee have the matter so arranged that there will be no disappointment in this feature. As an additional amusement feature, the committee have also secured Allzadi,' the great magician and Punch find Judy man who has been at the Oaks amusement park in Portland filling an engagement, and START BALL ROLL ING FOR NEXT SHOW Morrow County Poultry Association Meets and Arouses Interest. Two meetings this week of tho Morrow Uoanty PoaHry Association have been the means rf injecting new life into that organization and of getting it on its feet again for the purpose of arranging for a show the oominc winter. As yet no date has been set for the show, as some pre liminaries have to be arranged before this oai be done but that we will have a show, is a fact that is settled. Pursuant to call of President Noble, a meeting was held Friday evening last in the council chamnors for the purpose of canvasing the finances of the association and to get together anv bills against the oigan- ization that had not yet been settled A report of the secretary and treasurer was submitted, and the bills on hand wera audited. Aside from this no further action was taken and an ad jornment.wafl had until Monday eve ning;, when the business was coin pletel, all bills settled and an election of nffioers for the ensuing year, held. The election resulted as follows: E. O. Noble, president; W. P. Hill. Heppner, J. A. Waters, lone, L. B. Kicker, Irrignn, vice presidents; Claud Cox, secretary; W. R Irwin, Treasurer; O 0. Gurdane. manager and J. F Hall,' assistant manager. The secretary was inBtiuctod to correspond at once and get a ilne on a judge for the next show, and after this is settled the Association will set the date for the show. This will probably be during the first week in January, or just as close to that time as possible, as it is desired to avoid the holiday senson. the poultry show last winter was ' a suncees notwithstanding all that was against it. This year it is proposed to put in more work and commenoe a great deal sooner. The premium lists will be gotten out earlv and distrib uted in a manner that will help bring in outside exhibitors, and we can look forward to a much better show in evrey way. While other matters are occupying your minds, do not forget thli show, that represents one of the leading industries of our- country and all poultry fancier should begin now to lay their plans and get their show birds in shape. The second annual poultry show for Mnnow county will be a good one. We desire to state further that all awards will be distributed at once to parties entitled to receive them, and all obligations incurred by reason of the first show will be cleaned up.
