We are publishing herewith the bill recently pased by both houses and which has been approved by the president. The bill, which was drawn up by congressman, N. J. Sin nott of the 2nd district, provides for a leave of absence by homestead en trymen in one or two periods at the option of the entryman. Under the old law an entryman was compelled to take his Ave months leave of ab sence, if he desired the same, in one continuous period. The new bill be came a law on the 22nd of August.

"Approved, August 22, 1914." Likes Morrow County Best. Wm. Stauffer, of Hood River, was a pleasant caller at this office while In town yesterday. He has been at Lexington for the past week, looking after his interests there, he being still Interested In one of the best wheat farms of our county. Mr. Stauffer, after having spent a number of years in improving a ten acre fruit farm in the Hood River valley is now well founded in the belief that Morrow county is hard to beat, and a man is much better off with the same money invested in our wheat lands; he will make more mon ey and live just as easy. "OREGON DRY" SPEAK ER LECTURES HERE Dynamite Adams Lectures In Hepp ner at Christian Church. Three highly entertaining and in structive lectures on "Oregon Dry in 1914" were delivered at the Chris tian church on Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon and evening by J. G. Adams, of Portland, and recently from Fort Worth, Texas. Mr. Ad ams la touring the state and speak ing Tn the Interests of the Anti-Saloon League of Oregon in their fight to put Oregon In the dry column, and he is sure some dynamite.' He is a speaker of nation-wide repute aild has been in the prohibition worlf for the last twenty-five years. His ad dresses are full of sound argument, and there is nothing dry about his lectures from beginning to end, though he is talking "dry" the most of the time. The lectures are full to the brim of wit and humor; he of ten says many severe things, but his abuse is not directed at individuals, and in dealing with the .liquor bus iness he never offers a compromise. Mr. Adams is frmly of the opinion that Oregon will go dry this year. Judge Galloway Will Speak. Judge William Galloway, Demo cratic nominee for the Supreme Court bench Is in the city and will address the pioneers at the Fair on Friday. Judge Galloway spoke be fore the Oddfollows and their guests at the I. O. O. F. Hall on Wednesday evening. ARE SPECIAL TRAIN FROM THE UMATILLA COUNTY CAP ITAL WILL BRING DELEGATION OF BOOSTERS WILL REMAIN IN OUR CITY ALL DAY FRIDAY. That Pendleton business men have decided to visit Heppner one day dur ing the fair is a fact, and about 75 of the live wires of the Umatilla city are coming over in a special car. Acording to the East Oregonian the plan contemplates leaving Pen dleton on a special Pullman train at 10 o'clock on the night of Thursday The entire day of Friday will be spent in our city, the train returning that night and reaching Pendleton early Saturday morning. Sixty men were in the party that left for Spokane Monday night to attend the Spokane fair, and- Judge Phelps began a canvass Tuesday morning to make up the party for Heppner. By noon on that day more than half of the necessary number of names were secured. . The special train which will run between lone and Heppner tomorrow and Saturday, will bring many peo ple from the egg city and Lexington. From what we have been able to learn, the majority of the lone peo ple are planning to attend the fair on Saturday, but quite a number will be on hand for the three days. Last year special days were given over as "Lexington Day" and "lone Day" but this year, we are informed, that ow ing to the increase in attractions over last year, these special day features have been set aside. Secretary Smead requests all own ers of autos to meet the Pendleton train at the depot, if it is possible for them to do so. There will be sev eral people on the excursion who will not care about walking the long dis tance up town. Show the right spir it and be on hand with your cars. Sid and Walt Seale, the Condon equestrians arrived in Heppner yes terday afternoon from the Scrivner ranch. The boys are in fine shape for their street exhibitions, with the exception of several scratches on Sid's face, which he received sev eral days ago when one of his horses struck him. After leaving Hepp ner the boys will go to Pendleton where they are booked as one of the leading Round-Up attractions. They brought with them a string of six horses. Best. The parlors of the Federated church, first west of fair grounds, will be open for any desiring rest, or quiet during the fair. Friends and neighbors you are welcome and we trust our people may thus do you a kindness. PASTOR FERRIS. HON. R. A. BOOTH, Republican Candidate for United States Senator.

A cordial invitation extended to all. 8trangers always welcome. Wheat Haulers Get Wet. The wheat haulers coming into Heppner ok Monday afternoon re ceived a thorough wetting by the big rain that came up suddenly and last ed for several hours. Much hail mixed with the rain and the storm was a bitter one on the men and hor ses but there was nothing to do but "face the music" and come on to town. The roads have been greatly benefitted by the rain. Teachers Attending Institute. Among the Morrow county teach ers attending the Institute whic was in session three days this week, we noted the following: Elva and L. Troedson, Morgan; Ida Olson, Mor gan; Ollanna Olson, Morgan; Vernus Young, Mrs. Joya L. Hayes, Irrigon; Josephine McDevitt, lone; Zena Hou ser, lone; Olen W. McClain, Irrigon; Grace May, Heppner; Etta Adams, Hardman; Ella B. Wallen, Heppner; Luella E. Daniel, lone; Edna Mohr, lane., A. Swittay and L. Newton, Heppner. W. C. T. V. Organizes A meeting of the ladies interest ed was held on Tuesday afternoon and a local of the Womans Christian Temperance Union was organized. This is, in reality, a revival of the W. C. T. U. as there has been an organ ization here for many years but it had gone peacefully to sleep. Mrs. T. J. Humphreys wag elected presi dent; Mrs. O. G. Crawford, secretary; Mrs. Mattie Smead, cor. secretary; Mrs. Carrie Vaughn, treasurer; Mrs. Alice Adkins, vice-president from M. E. church, south; Mrs. Mary Notson, vice-president from Federated church and Mrs. Cora Crawford, vice-president from Christian church. Thir teen new members were added to the organization and the ladies expect to do active and aggressive work for the temperance and prohibition cause from now on. Y Saturday will be the big day of the Fair they will all be big days but Saturday will be bigger than the others. More people will be here for the events of Saturday. For that reason, If not others, the three warehouses of Heppner, The Hepp ner Milling Co.' warehouse, the Heppner warehouse and the Farm ers' Union warehouse will not open for business on that day. Grain haulers who do not contemplate vis iting in Heppner during the Fair will do well to take their vacation at home rather than haul on that day because the warehouse authorities say positively they will not open for any business on Saturday, the last day of the Fair. First Visit In 12 Years. i Harvey C. Rush is over from Can yon City where he has been resid ing for some time past. He will re main ' to take in the fair. It has been 12 years since Mr. Rush left Heppner and this is his first visit here since that time. Mr. Rush is one of the Morrow county pioneers and he will enjoy meeting his many old time friends and acquaintances while here. He was accompanied by his daughter, Mrs. M. F. Morgan, who was compelled to return home immediately. Ill Drys, 39 Wets. During his visit to Heppner on Saturday and Sunday, J. G. Adams, who was speaking here in the inter ests of the Anti-Saloon Legue, took a straw vote of Heppner citizens, and the result was 111 drys and 39 wets. Mr. ' Adams endeavored to conduct his ballot in a strictly impartial man ner in order to get the true senti ment, and if this is an index as to how the vote will go In November on this question, Heppner will be so dry that a "wet" won't be able to spit; at least this is the way Mr. Adams expressed it. We opine the ratio will not be quite so heavy as thur-straw vote seems to indicate. Thirty-five men and women were arrested by tW sheriff andrlls aeputy at the Friars club in Clackamas coun ty last Sunday morning. A charge of selling liquor will be placed against four of the arrested and tjie others are being held as witnesses. Acknowledges Pleasant Visit. This office acknowledges a very pleasant call on Wednesday evening from Messrs. L. B. Ziemer, F. K. Welles and N. C. Maris, instructors in the Morow County Teachers' In stitute which finished Its labors last evening. Mr. Maris is not a stran ger to Heppner people and he is al ways glad to be able to make us a visit. Mr. Welles was a resident of Umatilla county for many years and took prominent part in building up the schools of that county and served several terms as county sup erintendent. Mr. Ziemer is cream ery and cheese factory inspector and connected with the office of the, State Dairy and Food Commissioner. Mr. Maris and Mr. Ziemer remained over to-day to take in the fair, but Mr. Welles was compelled to return to his duties In the office of State Superintendent Churchill at Salem. MRS. PHILLIPS PASSES AWAY AT MORGAN Last Victim of The Morgan Fire Succumbs to Injuries. Alice Mary Phillips was born in Sheffield, England, April 25, 1857, and died at Morgan, Oregon, on Sep tember 10th, 1914. Funeral ser vices were conducted at the Morgan cemetery on Saturday, the 12th, Rev. J. V. Crawford, of Heppner, officiat ing. These services were largely at tended by the many neighbors and friends of Mrs. Phillips, thus show ing the high esteem in which she was held in the community, and also expressing the sincere sympathy felt by the neighbors for the remaining members of the family. Mrs. Phillips was the fourth victim of the fire which recently occurred at Morgan in which her two daughters and a son perished. She suffered severe burns and other injuries, from which she seemed to be rapidly re covering, and her sudden death on Thursday last came as a surprise to her friends, and can only be account ed for upon the grounds of her great grief over the terrible death of the other members of the family. Mrs. Phillips was highly respect ed in her community. She was a member of the Episcopal church, and always true to her convictions as a Christian woman. The only remain ing members of her family are the husband, H. W. Phillips, and a daughter, Mrs. Crawford. T President of The State Horticultural Socitey Will Be Here Friday Fruit Growers Are Urged to At tend The Meeting. "You have a great fruit country here," said O. E. Freytag, secretary of the Oregon City Commercial Club, who is at this time in charge of the exhibits at the Second Annual Mor row County Fair. "I was greatly surprised in the quality of fruit which is grown in this "county, the climate in ideal, and I am told that there never is a failure in the pro duction. More people should become Interested in this industry and these bottom lands should be made to blossom with the fruit tree." Mr. Freytag said he hoped for a large convention of fruit growers tomor row, Friday, and he urges every far mer and others interested in this in dustry to attend the meeting of the State Horticultural Society. E. C. Roberts, of Lebanon, presi dent of the state society and Dr. C. A. Macrum of Mosier, district com missioner will be on hand for the meeting and it Is planned to have Professor Jackson, of the O. A. C. present for an address. Every Farmer Should Attend Fair. By O. E. Freytag. Wherever it is possible, every far mer should not only attend the Coun ty and State Fairs, but he should see to it that others do so, and should arrange to exhibit some of his pro ducts. In this way Interest is stim ulated, the Fair Management en couraged and the community, your neighbors, and the general public gain knowledge; ideas are exchanged dally labors may be lightened and changes brought about which will spur on to greater effort and better preparation for success which will surely follow. Modern County and State Fair3 are not conducted now with the thought of profit, save for the en deavor to meet expenses and to Maintain a healthy reserve for the rainy week which is sure to come or for some off year. Personal profit to any man or set of men is lost sight of and Fairs are conducted for purely educational purposes and for advertising the community. The dif-. fusion of knowledge of a beneficial nature is the aim of those who are instrumental in arranging these fairs and personal interests are sacrificed for the good of the County or State. The purpose of the Fairs is to show the best products of every na ture, to provide harmless and Inter esting attractions, to encourage scientific farming and breeding and every feature which is not elevating has ben eliminated. The benefits to the County or Siata are manifold. William McKinley in his life time said, "Fairs and Exposi tions are the timepieces which mark the progress of nations." Purpose of Fairs The State and County Fairs of today have advanced beyond the alms and purposes of ten years ago and no farmer can afford to mss attending one or both. He will be able by observation at the Fairs to gain information in a few hours or days, if he can find timn for a pro tracted stay, that would tako months to secure through any other med ium. Fairs will teach Him things which other men have learned : ex perience. Not only should the farmer at tend the fair himself but lie should endeavor to enthuse his neighbor likewise and not stop at that, but should arrange to make the best and most comprehensive exhibit that he can possibly secure from the pro ducts of his farm. Interest in your County Fair stim ulats Interest in agriculture in your county; enables the public to gain knowledge of the possibilities of your community; an xchange of ideas is afforded and inspiration to greater effort and better methods are instill ed. A broader view of his sphere in life as a producer is obtained by the farmer as he compares the re sults of his system of production with that of successful exhibitors. The educational feature of fairs is not the only factor to be reckoned with for it provides the whole fam ily with a pleasant outing and much needed recreation. Old friends are met and new are made, and the fair should send the whole family home with the resolution to make the next year count for more than any year that has passed. Drs. Lowe and Turner, the well known eye specialists of Portland will be in Heppuer again Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, Sept. 27. 2S and 29 at Palace Hotel Parlors.
