2"7 Second Si ' GAZETTE"! EH MES VOL. 30. NO. 43. HEPPXEIi, OREGON, JANUARY 22, 1914. SUBSCRIPTION, $1.50 PER YEAR POULTRY ASSOCIA TION HASELEGTION E. G. Noble Re-Elected President and Frank Hall Is Secretary Reports. The Morrow County Poultry Association met on Friday even ing last for the purpose of wind ing up the business of the recent show, to hear the reports and to elect officers for the coming year, , The report of the secretary and treasurer were handed in and placed in the hands of a commit tee to be checked over, and reDort on the same will be given a the next meeting which will be held subject to the call of the presi dent. As stated in our last issue, this second uoultry show was a com plete success and the business in connection therewith has been wound up in a very satisfactory manner, all bills paid and arran gements aie being made to get lined out for the next event. A new set of officers have been elected as follows: E. G. Noble, president; L. W. Briggs, vice president; Frank Hall, secretary; D. C. Gurdane, supt,; John Bush asst. supt.; W. R. Irwin, treasur er. B. F. Keeney was chosen judge for the next show and the judg ing will be done by comparison. This was the system followed at the big Multnomah county show this year and it proved very sat isfactory. Special inducements are being offered to the country poultry raisers this season. It is the an tention of the association to offer a number of silver loving cups to the chicken raisers of the county outside of the corporate limits of Heppner. These are to be prizes that will be worthy of the best efforts of the country people to compote for, and it will also brine them into line to receive some of the cash prizes as well. Heppner has been making special effort to get together birds of a high class and the country fanciers have been timid in com peting. To avoid this in the fu ture the association is going to offer these special prizes for which the poultry raisers of Heppner will be barred from competing. The local raisers will be offered additional loving cups for which they can compete and the show will be placed on a broader basis with the view of making it of more general inter est. In comparison with other shows of the Northwest it is stated by those in a position to know that Heppner had the best of the most of them. Our show was not as large as some but the quality of the exhibits was very superior. Many raisers will doubtless want to exhibit at the county fair next fall. This is to be held in September, and president Noble savs that now is the time to be hatching the birds for that show. He is preparing at this time and will have a lot of hne specimens to select his show birds fron by time of the counts fair. For the January show the birds should be hatched in April and May. The numbers 82, 96, 35, 19, 9 and 23, winners of the settings of eggs have not been presented yet. M. L. Case, G. L. Case, E. D, Brown and Frank Gilliam were the fortunate holders presenting their numbers and they have re ceived each a setting of eggs. The date of tin; next minimi nhow will be January . 7. 8 ami !t, 191;.

COUNTY CLERK HILL THANKS THE PEOPLE He Also Endorses A. M. Mallory's Candidacy For The Clerkship. (Paid Advertisement.) To -the Voters of Morrow County Having decided to retire from the political field of Morrow Coun ty, I wish at this time to express my thanks to the people of Mor row County for the honors they have conferred upon me. When I have completed this term of my office, I will have served in a public office twelve and one-half years four years as deputy sher iff and eight and one-halt years as County Clerk. This gives me the honor of the longest continu ous service of any man in the history of Morrow County. Dur- ing this time I have always en deavored to be an efficient and obliging servant of the people, and I feel that they have shown their appreciation of my endeav ors by re-electing me four suc cessive terms. I believe that a word of en dorsement from me in behalf of Mr. A. M. Mallory, who has an nounced himself a candidate for nomination to the office of Coun ty Clerk by the Republican party, would not be amiss. During the three years which Mr. Mallory has served as deputy County Clerk. I have found him to be efficient and faithful in his work, strictly honest, courteous and obliging to all patrons of the office. It is my opinion that the people of Morrow County wil make a mistake if they do not give Mr. Mallory a term as Coun' ty Clerk, for he is thoroughly fa miliar with the work and the law affecting the various departments of the office. Again thanking you for the many honors conferred upon me and assuring you of my high ap preciation of the same, I am, Very respectfully W. O. HILL PURCHASER WILL GEI FULL WEIGHT Sealer ot Weights And Measures Will Have the Laws Enforced. Having been appointed Inspec tor of Weights and Measures for Morrow County, I desire to state that I shall strictly enforce the laws in regard to the sale of all commodities affected by this law. The law provides that the pur chaser is entitled to the net weight or measure of any com modity purchased. If the purchaser buvs a ham, he is entitled to the net weight of the ham and should not . be made to pay for the canvas cover and several ounces of wrapping paper. He is also entitled to buy ham at its true weight at time of sale and not what it weigh two or three months the the did be- fore. Merchants are cautioned not. to use liquid measure for dry measure. In measuring cran berries and other like commodi ties, dry measure must be used. The loss to the purchaser where liquid measure is used instead of dry is about 15 per cent. Cord wood must contain 128 cubic feet to the cord. Ice must be weighed at the time of delivery and not at the ice house. A sack of potatoes must weigh 100 pounds, and if more or less than 100 pounds, the exact weight must be marked in plain figures on the sack. The purchaser is entitled to what he pays for and any person attempting to short weight another will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. W. W. SMEAD, Adjustor Weights and Meas ures for Morrow County. Spain Saddle Good as New. The John Spain Round-up prize saddle, which was badly mutila ted just after the last frontier show, now looks as good as it ever did. It is on exhibition in the display window of the Ham ley store, the repair work having been completed by Lcuis Camp bell, who was the original maker of the saddle, All of the silver that was cut off has been re placed and the cut portions of the skirt have been likewise re placed. The whole has been var nished so that the saddle is of one color. The work was done from a fund subscribed by Pen dleton citizens. East Oregonian. W. F. Barnett, a prominent business man of Lexington, was in our city Saturday. He made the trip in his car and took back with him Jesse R. Kellems, the young evangelist. Mr. Kellems held services in Lexington in the afternoon. Geo. N. Taylor, representative of the Anti-Saloon League of Oregon, will speak at the Feder ated church, Sunday morning, January 25, and in the evening of the same-day before the union meeting at the Christian church. Come out and hear him. H. S. Harcourt, representative of the American International University, of Los Angeles, Cal., and formerly a well known news paper man of the Northwest, was in this city on business the fore part of the week. Bert Bleakman of Hardman went down to The Dalles Monday to buy in a piece of land. EIGHT MILE. Mrs. Anna Pickett of Lexing ton is visiting at the home of T. W. Rippee for a few days. Emerson Keithley, Frank Fra ters and Mose Ashbaugh were Hardman visitors Saturday. John Burton is doing some blasting for Frank Fraters this week. Frank is determined to get more water or lose what he has. We wish you success, Frank. ; The four-week rabbit hunt at Eightmile Center was brought to a close Saturday night. The count showed a total catch of 1243 rabbits, the winning side having a majority of 59 scalps. A supper will be given Jan. 30. A new telephone line is being built from Hardman via Rood Canyon and will connect with the Heppner and Eightmile line at T. W. Rippee's place. This will be a great benefit to both Hard man and Eightmile. We are looking with pleasure to the com pletion of the line. All the ranch- along the line between Hardman and Rippee's will put in phones. The strongest wind of the sea son, or for that matter for sev eral seasons, visited Eightmile Saturday morning. We have no idea of the velocity of it but it blew the tops off several straw stacks and unroofed out buildings and turned several of them up side down. It was followed by a heavy snow storm which lasted about 30 minutes. We are glad to say we all lived through it and have - about recovered our nerve. Now that the rabbit hunt is over and we older ones have had the pleasure of hunting them and ridding the community of their pesty presence, let us now begin to arrange a little fun that the children can take part in as well as the older ones. Let us a little later in the season organize a squirrel hunt and at the finish give an ice cream social or some thing of this nature for the bene fit of the little folks. 'Think it over. LEXINGTON ITEMS. Mrs. Delia McMillan and her two youngest children spent Sun day in lone. Case Fuqua is busy these days building a separate room on the residence of Bert Ward. Mrs. Anna Picketts is visiting her daughter in Heppner and friends out on Eightmile. Mrs. Art Gammel, residing near Lexington, is enjoying a visit from her father who resides in Southern Oregon. The lathes came and as the weather permits work is again progressing rapidly on S. G. Mc Millan s new residence. A large crowd greeted Brother Taber at the Methodist church Sunday night. A crowd like that one is very encouraging to the pastor. Mr. and Mrs. Galy Johnson, parents ot Mrs. Ed Burchell, are back in Lexington and vicinity after a pleasant Christmas holi day in Portland. Willis Ward was quite ill with a gathering in his throat and the services of Dr. Chick were re quired twice. Willis is recover ing at this time. Miss Hazel Reaney returned to Lexington on Saturday v morning from Heppner where she has been the guest of her sister, Mrs. Nelly Baldwin, and incidentally attending the Christian evange listic meetings. The Ladies Home Missionary Society is very busy now finish ing articles that they will have for sale at their coming bazaar in February. The ladies meet every Thursday and we believe will convene this week at Mrs. Taber's. Those who attended the Meth odist church on Saturday after noon enjoyed a rare treat when Evangelist Kellems gave them an hour's address on "The Cross of Christ," and Mr. McCallam entertained them with a solo en titled "Does Jesus Care?" We wonder if we are going to have an open winter and if our worst weather is oyer with. On Sunday morning on looking out of doors we beheld a mantle of snow on the ground and before l -11 . TT I- noon n was an gone, now mucn i more pleasant it is for us all to 1 have the snow go this way than for it to remain on a week or so until we are all sick of the sight of snow. The sand and wind storm on Saturday caused Mr. Burgoyne to be out a sum of money to re pair his warehouse. George Mead said that the wind lifted him off of the ground a short distance from his house. Other people suffered small losses in having roofings torn off of various build ings. J. B. Sparks, of the Star Thea ter was a business visitor in Echo last week. W. H. Cronk, manager of the Tum-a-Lum Lumber Co. at lone, transacted business in Heppner on Monday. Mrs. Guy Boyer was removed to her home on Hinton creek Monday, after being confined at the Allison-Culbertson hospital in this city. Louis Pearson is having his tailor shop on May street thor oughly renovated and re-papered. The work, which is being done by O. E. Nordstrom, greatly im proves the appearance ot the place. For Friday and Saturday eve nings, the attraction at the btar theater will be "The Kiddies' Christmas," a Lubin two-reel production. This picture comes a little late for the holiday sea son, but is one of genuine human interest, and in order that the show may be properly enjoyed the management will admit all children up to twelve years of age free 6f charge.

Smead & Crawford IH SCHOOL STU DENTS ARE BUSY Old Building Is Being Used For Gymnasium Mid Term Exams In 2 Weeks. The plate glass in one of the . doors at the south entrance was broken accidentally last week during the severe wind storm. ' The glass was replaced Monday. The Senior class will onve two plays this year, one on class night and the other at commence ment. It has not been definitely decided yet what playa they will present, but the public, can look for some first class plays presen ted in a first class manner. The debates in the English VII class are causing much excite ment. The one given last Friday on the question ot Resolved that Heppner High School Needs a Gymnasium" was won by the norm f t ra urVtila fVinf nritrnn day was a tie as to the number of points made by each side, the decision being given to the nega tive. The question was, "Re solved that Oregon Should Adopt State-wide Prohibition." The prircipal gladdened the hearts of the pupils Monday by announcing that the mid-term examinations would come in a' couple of weeks and that the ex emption lists would be posted some time this week. Of course all those who expect their names to appear on these lists do not care about the near approach of these exams, but on the faces of those who do not expect exemp tion there is a seriousness which does not become them. The High School boys are rap idly putting the rooms in the old building in fine shape for the gymnasium. Since securing the old building for this purpose from the school board the High School has been in a ferment of excite ment and everyone is very anx ious to have it put in shape for use. The gymnastic apparatus which was secured several years ago by the Commercial Club has been turned over to the board so there will be very little need of purchasing anything new in the line of equipment. The Heppner High boy and girl basketball teams went down to Lexington last Thursday and played the two teams of Lexing ton High. The girls' game re sulted in favor of the Lexington team, while the Heppner boys carried off the big end of a 24 to 10 score. After the games the visitors were inyited to sit down to a fine banquet which had been prepared in their honor by the local high school. The trip was made in a nay racK and was greatly enjoyed by all who ' went down. Everyone has much to say in praise of the treatment they received at the hands of the neighboring high school and all vow that we will reciprocate when Lexington plays the return game here. Notices of appointment are be ing sent out this week from the countv clerk's office to those who were selected by the county court at the January term to serve two years on the election board of this county. Herewith is pub lished a complete list of those ap pointed. Max Crandall returned to his home in Hillsboro on Sunday af ter spending the past two weeks in auditing the books of the vari- ' ous offices of Morrow county.
