MORROW COISTY OFFICIAL PAPER Thursday, July 9, 1914. MOKE EFFECTIVE PLAN. We hear much about the question of the consumption of "Made-in-Oregon" goods. Manufacturers are urg ing the merchants to push these goods and they are adopting various plans of bringing to the attention of the consumers of our state the ar ticles being made and produced with in our borders and yet they overlook the best medium of getting these goods before the public. The follow ing from the pen of Lew Gates in the Polk County Observer, brings out the point: The organization and re-organization of associations with a view to inducing patronage for Oregon manu facturing industries can amount to little under the present mode of pro cedure of these societies, extensive in scope though their work may be, for the reason that they do not reach the consumer, the individual member of the community upon whom the producer depends for support. Just now a federation of all the organiza tions in Portland that have hereto fore put themselves on record in support of state Institutions has been effected. The purpose Is to Inaugurate a state-wide campaign to make Oregon Made goods second nature to the Ore gon consumer, and to this end hotair merchants will be distributed over the commonwealth to attend various tinna and meetings, where tenths of those attending such gatherings are already preachers but not practitioners of the same doc trine, as in the case with the inef fective Made-in-Oregon banquets, which are so extensively given at in dividual expense for the benefit of the manufacturer. The key to success is legitimate publicity of Made-in-Oregon goods by the men who make them. Eastern manufacturers expend thousands up on thousands of dollars annually in Oregon to bring their goods to the every day attention of the purchasing public, while the home manufacturer draws more tightly together his purse strings and watchfully waits for the community booster to develop his business by means of a home- expan sion campaign in his behalf. There can be but one way in which the de sired end may be speedily and effect ively accomplished and that is hon est, straightforward, legitimate ad vertising in the country press, the only medium of publicity that suc cessfully appeals to the consumer at the fireside. No great gift of business sagacity is necessary to solve the problem which is now perplexing the Oregon manufacturer. He need only follow in the well-beaten path of thousands of others to gain the goal. The mon ev annually expended for cheap or atory in an endeavor to persuade consumption of state products is practically thrown to the winds. The sooner the penny promoters realize the true condition of affairs the soon er all Oregon will be benefitted. Seaside "The Western Coney Isle" can boast a good live band or ganization. This is proven by the fact that they issued on July 4 a well edited, well printed and splen didly illustrated sixteen-page paper called "Seaside Flashlight". The pa per is from the press of the Seaside Signal and is a fine specimen of the printer's art. From the illustrations therein contained it can readily be seen that Seaside is fast becoming more than a popular seaside resort and is destined to be the outlet of a prosperous section of Clatsop county. IX THE LINE OF DUTY. When Deputy Sheriff McDuffee rose to the occasion and proceeded to bring down the leader of the train robbing gang last week he virtually put an end to the operations of that miserable trio. With their leader gone the two boys who had been pressed into service by Manning were helpless and only wonder is that they were not caught sooner. Therefore the Morrow county deputy is entitled to strong mention when the distri bution of reward money is under con sideration. He was the man on the job and he knew just what to do. We will assume, however, that when McDuffee got busy he was not think ing much about reward. He had no time for such thoughts but acted on a good officer's Impulse of duty, "'lie f.u-t that he himself was shot and is fortiinato not to have been killed shows the risk he took in the line of duty. E. O. EX-SHERIFF WHITES PKA1SE. lone, Oregon, July 4, 1914. Editor Gazette-Times: I have just returned from a sane celebration held at lone, and have finished reading the last two issues of the daily Oregonian, containing accounts of the train hold-up beyond Pendleton a few nights ago and of the brilliant work of Deputy Sheriff George McDuffee therein. My heart is therefore filled with regenerated patriotism, and I would like through your valuable columns to get some of it out of my system. We Americans never weary of the reading of the Declaration of Inde pendence, nor the old, old story of George Washington, Abraham Lin coln, General Grant, and the numer ous other true heroes who are the authors of the liberty and freedom which we are now enjoying. But the thing that rejuvinates the latent patriotism of local citizens on this 4th of July, 1914, is the fact that the spirit of heroism and loyalty to duty are not things of the past, but that we have, even in Mororw county, a man who possesses the same lofty courage, the same brave, heroic spirit that dominated the patriots of former days. I refer to Deputy Sheriff George McDuffee. As an humble farmer, I rejoice with all other law-abiding cit izens that it is Morrow county's good fortune and proud distinction to claim this true modern hero, George McDuffee. Unsumraoned and un urged, George saw his duty and did it. Unpleasant as it must be to take human life, George did the right thing at the right time, and no re morse should ever haunt his con science. Rather should he enjoy the peace of conscience which comes to one who has done his full duty and has performed it well. The least his neighbors and fellow citizens can do is to accord to him the full measure of hlgk honor and approbation which he has so richly earned. In the an nals of Morrow county history George McDuffee must be given first place as Us bravest and most heroic citi zen. His killing of a murderous train robber and the frustrating of their hellish scheme will have a far-reaching influence for good throughout the entire country. Train robbers and other murderers well know that the average peace officer, even though he be armed, Is dead easy picking, and that the law prohibits the carrying of concealed weapons by plain citi zens. The villians have therefore every advantage, and they are scarce ly ever molested in carrying out their infernal work. It is for this reason that George McDuffee's brave act stands out in such glorious relief. If a few more such officers were sprinkled around over the state the thug element would soon be placed on the retired list. McDuffee was not actuated be mere physical courage alone. There was deep and loyal principal back of that old trusty gun of his. He had an acute sense of justice accompanied with the physical and moral courage to execute it. George no doubt has a spirit which grows weary of the law's sickening delay, the average jury's reluctance, the Governor's stupid, old-womanly practice of par doning criminals, and the other loop holes through which the great ma jority of our law breakers escape jus tice. George McDuffee doesn't be lieve in temporizing with crime nor with criminals, but he has set an ex ample refreshing for good citizens to read about and for other peace officers to emulate. Again I say, all honor to Deputy Sheriff George McDuffee, true hero and modern patriot. May his bril liant piece of work strike terror to the hearts of wrong-doers and in spire good citizens with new hope and faith in our peace officers and the laws of our country. E. M. SHUTT, (Continued from first FROM USI.j A SUMMARY OF "SUMMERY" GOODS v, Xo Charge For Stock Exhibit. Secretary Smead of the Fair Board informs us that this year there will be no charge to those wishing to ex hibit stock at the Fair. The Board expects to construct the new build ings on the permanent grounds in such a way that the stock pens will be outside the grounds proper. There the stock will be exhibited free of charge to the visitors. At the pres ent time it is being planned to ar range the stock pens on the south side of the grounds, by the side of Healy's livery barn. Mr. Smead says that last year many complimen tary tickets were given men exhibit ing stock, because they had stock in side the grounds, but under this new arrangement, everyone will be able to view the stock free of charge and yet the gate receipts will be in creased. A meeting of the Fair Board was held at Lexington this morning and it was arranged to have Mr. Freytag come to Ileppner at once to lay off the fair grounds and plan the build ing for the exhibits. compare with Lincoln Pa x caco." said Miss Camp' .1 though it is very large and ire::y i enough, Central Park doesn't care, for its animals like the animals of j Lincoln Park are cared for, and therefore there is a difference in the atmosphere of the two places." The , largest aquarium in the world is in Central Park. The trip from New York to Fall River, where they took the train for Boston, was made by water on the ship "Priscilla." The trip out of New York harbor is accompanied by the most impressive sight imagin able, with the sky-line of the tall buildings looming heavenward, seem ing to rise right out of the sea. The tall Woolworth building is the last to be seen as New York fades in the dim distance when the boat proceeds on up the coast. In speaking of Boston Miss Camp bell said, "it is the craziest town I was ever in. You would start down the street and meet yourself coming back." There are many old histor ical places in Boston that were vis ited by the party. They went aboard Old Ironsides" in Boston harbor and were over the ground where the Boston massacre took place. Miss Campbell described the Boston ho tels as being old and dignified but service not up to the standard set by hotels in some of the other cities they visited. From Boston, the party journeyed to Montreal and Toronto. In Toron to an Ad Men's convention was in progress and the young ladies were presented with souvenirs consisting of mlnature trays and finger bowls. The next city was Buffalo, and here the party stopped at the Broezel ho tel. Roycraft Inn, the home of El bert Hubbard was visited and Miss Chapman of Goldendale describes it as the most beautiful and most rest ful place Bhe had ever seen. The rooms are all named after artists and scholars, the names being en graved in wood-work. While in Buf falo, the party went over to Niagara Falls on the electric line, and viewed that famous beauty spot from nearly every angle. Miss Campbell remark- ed that while she was there she did not get Eight of any of the members of the Mediation Congress. The trip from Buffalo to Detroit was made by boat. While in Detroit Miss Campbell went out to Bell Isle Park. This park, she said, "is too beautiful to describe." It is easily the most popular rest resort in De troit, and the river and canals which run through it make it a watering place second to none In the more in land cities. The Ford Manufacturing nlnnt was also visited. Miss CaniD-! bell describes this plant as being too large to comprehend. She says it is with amazing rapidity that these cars are turned out. On the return visit to Chicago, a trip was made out to the old exposi tion grounds, now known as Jackson Park. Some wonderful collections of art were seen in the art galleries. The next city was Milwaukie, where the ladies went through one of the large breweries (this being one of Milwaukle's leading attractions). The cemeteries were visited and Miss Campbell tells an interesting story of an old, gray whiskered man, a vet eran of the Civil war, who has pre pared his tombstone, with the ex ception of the date, and has set this stone up beside that of his wife, and is now waiting to die. He presents a pathetic old figure, as he sits by his wife's grave all day long, the center of a curious crowd which he attracts. They call him "old man Collins." The party left Milwaukie for home but they made stops both at St. Paul and Minneapolis. At Mandan, North Partota, the train was held up for nine hours on account of the big washout. Tho trip home was made over the Northern Pacific and they arrived in Portland Friday morning, july 3, at 10 o'clock. The next day Miss Campbell brought her trip to a fitting close by attending the annual reunion and picnic of former Morrow county people in Columbia Park in Portland. Will Plant 55,000 Trout. There will arrive from the Bonne ville hatchery this evening, 55,000 young trout for planting in the var ious streams of Morrow county. As soon as the train arrives the fish will be removed from the car to automo biles, and under the direction of Dr. F. N. Christenson and other sports men of Heppner will be placed In the streams of the county and the supply of game fish thereby replenished. mmoox items M. F.
