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

mark to a fellow Mexican and the

hospital in Havana. His condition is
serious. The entire party that took

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

Is a publo calamity or public blessing

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

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.
