November 13, -1913 According to the published estimate of expenses for Morrow courtly tor the year 1914, printed elsewhere in these columns, the state tax for this county will be 148,000. This is the flgnre estimated and is far in excess of any SDtn heretofore called for. The tax able property as turned in by the As BBSficr is $9,529,211,3 a considerable iccrease over that of last year, and this ia tiua of every county of the state: vet taxes get higher nil the time. Every session of the legislat ure creates new offices, commissions etc and the expense piles op and must be met by taxation. Just where it will end no one knows but it is get ting to a point where some good systematic "kicking" on the part of of press and pinole is In order. Pei baps there was a failure on the part ot the authorities to get some indictments from the grand jury this week that we had a right to expect, bat when it is understood that people who are witnesses to what is going on in violation of state and city laws will go before the inquisitorial body and swear point blank to their ignoi ance of any specific acts, we Bhall have to continue present conditions and simply say that It ia all a mis take, and when any one tells you that there ia gambling in various joints In Ueponer, they know not whereof they apeak. We are clean and as nnanotted as the proverbial lamb of white. Through the efforts of some local people the State Game Warden has been Induced to liberate in Morrow county a bnnch of about seven iozen Cihoese pheasants that the species may propagate in these parts. This has been done in other years and a fair start of these game birds made here, bat owing to the tendency of some sportsmen, so-called to kill everything thev get a shot at, the proposition of stocking up. with Chinas has been a alow one. These birds do well here if left; alone, and will prove a valua ble addition to the game reserve. Give them a chance and in a few years there will be plenty and to spare. A woman's suffrage school will be opened at Washington D. O. next month. The crand jury has met and ad journed and there are some people about Heppner breathing a littlo easier. Striped suits will no longer be worn at the San Quentin Cal. state penitentiary. Hereafter tray cadet suits will be worn bv the convicts. . The next tax roll will be collected bv the county treasurer, aud from thence on it will be the duty of that official to collect and receint for taxes. The County Court has made provision for a deputy county treasurer on a salary of $75 per month and the office will now be maintained at the Court house. Felix Diaz, nephew of Porno Diaz, ex-president of Mexico was stabbed in the neck and beaten with cauea in an altercation at Havana Cnba last week. Diaz had made some insulting re mark to a fellow Mexican and the trouble followed. The fellow who attacked Diaz was shot and is in the hospital in Havana. His condition is serious. The entire party that took part in the fracas have been arrested. IS THING OF THE PAST. J. Garfield Crawford, For mer Heppner Man Is Mar ried In Texas. After living on a hundred and sixty acres of land in Baser county for years, built a house barn and other faim builias upon the place besides fencing it and the land yielding him good returns under excellent cultiva tion. Herbert Chandler is now in danger of loosing his homestead. John Kilne found out a few years ago that Chandler had not filed on the Improved 160 acres but noon the ad- joinina 160, and be himself has filed upon the ImDroved homestead. Chani dler has been forced to sue. .

We need our pas tures for onr own use.' L GEO. J. CUBRIX & SON I have a weakness for obituaries. If there ia any one tiling I dote upon more than anything else it is a good, sound, healthy obituary, one that de picts every item of inter.iBt that In any way reflect a bit of credit upon the departed, and as carefully con ceals everything of a contrary nature. I even like, upon suitable occasion, vh n the case is sufficiently provok ing, to write oat obituary notices for publication. One disagreeable fact in connection with my pnt exoerience along this linn is, that I am invari ably called upon to cerforni this duty over the remains of my dearest and bent friends. Now, it has always seemed to me that it would be a mat ter of much ereater pleasure could I write the obituaries of some of my enemies. Eut I have nevet been called unnn to perform a duty cf this kind and can only treat the subject hypothetical having no actual ex perience of the Kind. In every cornmuinty there are In dividuals who so impress their person ality upon it tr.at whatever influences or nffeots them affect the entire com munity. The demise of such a one Is a publo calamity or public blessing according to the influence ot hia life noun tiose among whom he has li 'ed. This remark does not apply simply and exclusively to persons; it is equal ly applicable to societies, guilds, or ders, institutions that have a distinct ive character and fill a well known want in society. The life of sucli a body may terminate suddenly and by violenoe and great harm ensues, or it may quietly servo out the purpose of is organiaztion ; fulfill its mission then silently fold its arms upon its bosom and calmly and peacefully pass out, honored and respected by all, and revered by those who had as sumed its obligations and worshipped at its shrine. This much aa introductory to the announcement of the passing of the A. & H. O of R. L's. of Heppner, Oregon. This was an Order founded fur the most benefioient purposes. Its ritual was a perennial stream of wis dom, holding ever before the weary and disconsolate neophyte the beauti ful banner inscribed with the cabal istic motto of the fraternity "While there is life there la hope " For years and years this noble Or der carried its soul cheering messages of consolation and bone to the hearts of the faithful, pouring its healing balm into every wound until ita virtues begin to manifest themselves n a decidedly practical way and the work of decimation and disintegration sat in and it became too evident that the days of the Order were numbered and the time of dissolution was draw ing near. So, when Oscar came to the parting of the ways, and tearfully announcing his intenions, called for and obtained his dimit, then went and joined the benedicts aud settled down to the quiet realities of private, fam ily life, we are told that a perfect thrill of hope struck the entire bunch and literally stood them upon their heads. But the fate of one could not determine the fate of all without strenuous personal effort. This les son they had to learn and they learned it, in time. When the oase dawned on Pole in all Its fullness he was not long in adjusting himself to improved conditions. His motto was "Whatever you do, do Qiuck" snd so while others slumbered and slept he stole a march on them and before they were aware cf hia absence the STOVES We have several Bargains in second hand Heaters, as well as the largest stock of New ones in Heppner, and call your attention to our r COMBINATION WOOD and COAL STOVES We handle the CHARTER OAK Line and invite your inspection. Second hand stoves taken on exchange for new ones. Vaughn ca Sons news came back from east of the Rockies that he. too, ahd gone over the road. And now, last of all the country Is shocked with the intelligence that Garfield has fallen a victim to the wily charms of a sunny Southern belle. It is enouhg. This is the last straw that broke the camel's back. The society could stand no further strain. The silver cord Is lossened. The pitcher is broken at the fountain. A noble and Inspiring Order has given up the ghost and gone into perpetual retirement. It did a great work. It performed a vlllant service for humanity and has entered unon a long and well earned rest. Requiescat in paca: whinh ia Chinook for "may it never be resurrected " And what shall we say for the two heroic souls who have clung with un flinching nerve and unfaltering trust to the faithful craft as one by one their comrades have given up the un equal contest and retired ftom the fold. Certainly we can but admire their heroism as they have strnegled manfully on throuhg the weary years, hoping against hope, yet bravely pressing on toward the goal. Truly, the sympathies of a multitude of friends will surround them now in this, their double affliction, and the kindly offices of all good men will be engaged in their behalf, and the time is surely nigh when the martyr souls of Dune and Andy will be redeemed and shine with a brighter lustre than all their comrades because of the pio longed agony through which they have been called to pass. In the Fort Worth Star Telegram of Nov. 1, we find something like the folio wng: Kitty Barry and J. Garfield Crawford, Star Telegram reporters, were quietly married Friday night at the residence of Andrew Hemphill, where Miss Barry had lived. The wedding was somothing of a hallow' een joke on frienls of the young news paper writers. No one was present save Mr. and Mrs. Hemphill, Miss Augusta Bates Heponer Blackamn, boyhood friend of the groom, Mrs. Blackman, Mrs. Veasey of Van Alstine, Bister of the bride. Rev. H. W. Knickerbocker, pastor of Cen tral Methodist church performed the ceremony. Crawford came to the Star Telegram from Oregon four years ago. A little less than two years ago Miss Barry uame to Fort Worth from the Sau Antonlan Express and joined the Star Telegram Staff as a special writer. The romance of the newspaper office beean the day Miss Barry reported for duty. Assignments threw the couple together frequently soon after Miss Barry's ajvent in Fork Worth. In the course of her services on the Star Telegram Mrs. O. liaa writnn columns of musical and art reviews tinman interest stuff, and special art icles on the activities of club women in Texas. Crawford has"covered every beat" in the city and is particularly well known among rail road and livestock men. Mrs. Crawford was born in Georgia. Her parents, members of prominent Ge'tgla families, moved to lexas when Kitty was child. Crawford is the son of Mr. and Mrs. J. V. Crawford of Heppner, Oregon. His parents are pioneers of the Pacific Northwest. Mr. snd Mrs. Crawford are at some at 715 West First Street. For Rent. TheC. A.
