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.

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.

W. Rippee for a few days.
Emerson Keithley, Frank Fra
ters and Mose Ashbaugh were
Hardman visitors Saturday.

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.

snow on the ground and before
l -11 . TT I-

more pleasant it is for us all to 1

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.
