While gnirg through the hall Mr. Wilkins smelled smoke coming from one of the rooms He rushed in and discovered, amid a room full of smoke, a large hole burned through the carpet. The fire had not gained much headway and consequently not a great deal of dam age had been done, - Not being able in their rush to get all items and classifications set out in the premium list for the Morrow County Fair, the Secretary has formulated a few notes that he desires to call es pecial attention to, and these will be taken into consideration and cared for just as though they aD peared in the premium list prop er.

Before our next ssue will reach the. most of our readers the First Morrow County Fair will have passed into history. The arrange ments are completed so far as it is possible for them to be it this time. Ihe pavillion and the grounds are all in shape to receive the exhibits, and we are assured by the Management that ample as are these the last foot of space will be occupied, ine people ot the county are awakening- to the importance ol the occasion and are bestirring- hemselves, and all indications are that they will make a showing- of which we will all be proud. As a sample of this aroused interest we are informed that one evntleman xpects to put his entire dairy herd on exhibition. This is the kind of sentiment and enterprise that will make the Fair a success. Arrangements are being completed for an excursion train from Portland which will bring, among others, from a hundred to a hundred and fifty former res idents of Morrow county now living in Portland. While every day and every hour is expected to be full of interest from start to finish it is hoped to reach high water mark on Saturday which has been designated as Pioneers' Day when Hon. Stephen Lowell, of Pendleton, one of Ore gon's most brilliant orators will deliver an address appro priate to the occasion. The school children will divide the time with the old settlers',' exhibit their products and share the honors of the day. The people of Heppner have taken up the matter of en tertainment and hope to be able to take good care of all who may favor us with their presence. It seems to be the wentiinent of all our best citizens to give our visitors the best time possible, and they believe they will have the hearty cooperation of every Morrow county resident in this. At a meeting of the business men and others on Tues day the matter of appropriate decorations for streets. public buildings, etc., was taken up .and the necessary com mittee appointed to carry out the plans. The Fair officers and their dulv appointed assistants have worked faithfully and assiduously to make a success of this T air and are worthy of all honor for their interest and industry in bringing to completion this enterprise that means so much for the tuture development and pros perity of Morrow county. up a prize asddle for which chances were sold in the shape of small watch fobs at fifty cents a piece.
