Hi'iin(.r Commercial Club Hat Ite
reived Several Bids From Parties
Who Would Carry Muil Be
tween This City and the
(rant County Town.
For the past several weeks the
Heppner Commercial Club has been
advertising for bids for carrying the
mail between Heppner and Monu
ment, that route having been discon
tinued some time ago. In taking the
matter up, the local club learned
from the postofflce department that
the only reason the route was ever
discontinutd was because the depart
ment could find no one who would
carry the mail at their price. It now
seems that the work of the Heppner
Commercial Club 'Is about to bear
fruit, for as many as four bids have
already been rectivcd, and these bids
will be passed upon at the regular
meeting of the Club at the council
chambers next Monday night.
Other Important business will
come before the Club for discussion,
and Secretary Smead urges a full at
tendance at the meeting Monday
night.

Bom Ihwt.
Heppner was overwhelmed with
dust on Saturdey night, getting what
was left by the big wind that hit the
Ilermiston country earlier in the eve
ning. The storm broke over Hepp
ner about 10 o'clock In tiifl evening
and after many residents had retired
for the night, and it wa? notjealized
by many that we were being covered
with dirt. The wind lasted but a
few minutes but it was the middle of
the afternoon, Sunday, before the at
mosphere cleared. What happened
at Hermlston and Stanfleld can be
judged from the residue passed over
to Morrow county. At these two pla
ces much damage was done to vege
tation, and the light plants and tele
phone lines were put out of commis
sion. There was some stir in real
estate and no mistake.

Wind Does Much
Damage at Hermiston
From the HermiHton Correspon
dence In Pendleton East Oregonlan:
The most costly wind this county has
ever known came from the north
east without warning about 9 o'clock
Saturday night. Continuing until
past mid-night it blew at its hardest
between forty-five and fifty milts an
hour, while the average was between
twenty-five and thirty miles an hour.
The extremtly high wind made It al
most suffocating as the air was a
cloud of sand and dust.
This is the second wind of its kind
In many years, although none ever so
destructive to vegetation.
The Hermiston Light & Power Co s
high line leading to Echo was brok
en in two by a large falling tree, near
Stanfleld, cutting off all power irom
Hermiston, Echo and Stanfleld.
Several shade trees on the main
streets were uprooted and locust and
poplar wind breaks protecting or
chards were broken and twisted. Fur
ther than the loss of ripening fruit
shaken from the trees, orchards will
have little loss.
The alfalfa crop which .Is In the
middle of its second c'uttlng Is badly
wilted by the heated wind though it
is beginning to show more signs of
life now. Corn, while badly blown
down, is young enough to revive with
little assistance.

At Home Of Her Son
Mrs. Mary Gemmel, wife of Robert
Gemrnell, passed to her reward at the
home of her son, Robert Gemrnell,
at the Skinner creek ranch of Minor

and. the daughter is Mrs. Minnie
Gourley, of Mountainview, Wyoming.
Mrs. Gourley was present ot her mo
ther's bedside when she passed away,
but the son, William, could not be
reached, as his present address is not
known, he residing at some point in
British Columbia.
Mrs. Gemrnell has resided at the
home of her son here for the past
two years, during which time she has
been tenderly cared for by her rela
tives. Site is said to have been a
great sufferer but patient through it
all, her greatest grief being the bur
den she seemed to be upon those who
had to care for her. For herself and
her suffering she made no complaint,
and was fully prepared to meet her
summons at the time it should come.

WIND TAKES DNE-THIRD
Conservative Estimates By (.rowers
and Buyers Mhow Damage to
Crop has Been Considerable.
That Umatilla county farms were
hard hit by the recent winds which
visited that section is evidenced by
the following article taken from the
Pendleton East Oregonian of July 5:
A third of Umatilla county's wheat
crop for 1915 is thu toll taken from
the farmer by the recent winds, ac
cording to Conservative estimates by
growers and buyers. This does not
necessarily mean a third of the nor
mal crop for, until recent winds, the
prospects were bright for an abnor
mal yield. ' .
The damage done has been general
all over the county. No section has
escaped and hardly a farmer but has
suffered from the killing winds. Two
weeks ago considerable damage was
done in some sections by cold winds
and last week hot winds did a great
deal more damage. Even the heavy
lands on the reservation and in the
Athena-Adams section have felt the
damaging effects.
The damage is apparent even to
the unexpert eye. The golden tint
which betokens the perfect crop con
trasts this year with the pale hue
that signifies burnt-out wheat and the
bluish caste that tells of straw cured
up before the heads had matured.
Most all of the fields are spotted and
some farmers declare they have fields
of 50 to 100 acres hurt so badly that
it will not pay to cut them. The grain
is so shriveled that, even if cut, much
of it would blow over during the pro
cess of threshing. The reseeded fields
were particularly hard hit, according
to reports from farmers.
The barley loss will not be as great
in proportion as the wheat loss There
was less barley than usual sown this
year and much of It was so far ad
vanced that the winds did but little
damage. In some sections, too, some1
of the wheat was advanced beyond
the stage where much injury could be
done.
One result of the damage will be
the necessity of testing the grain.
Since 1909 the Umatilla county grain
has been so. uniformly heavy that
buyers have not felt the need of test
ing for weight, but this year thee
will be considerable light wheat and
many light tests are anticipated. The
testing will be difficult in view of the
fact that the light grain will be pret
ty well mixed with the heavy grain.
Another result of the damage al
ready apparent, Is in the sack market.
Farmers, who were Insistently clam
oring for more sacks two weeks ago,
are now satisfied with what they have
ordered.
The root of the damage is traced
back to the heavy May rains. So much
moisture was received at that time
that the roots of the grain spread out
just beneath the surface instead of
going deep. The grain grew rank and
gave rise to anticipations of big yields
even in the light land sections but
when the hot weather came, the roots
could not secure enough moisture to
sustain the stalks and nourish the
heads. '

COUNTY FAIR EXHIBIT PAVILION
PIONEER CITIZEN OF
Geo. Noble Came to Morrow County
lu 1872 Was a Native of Wit
tenlerK, Germany.
After an illness that kept him to
his bed for the past four weeks,
George Noble, honored pioneer citi
zen of Heppner, died at his home in
this city at 8: a. m., Tuesday, July 8,
1915. Having been in poor health
for some time, Mr. Noble was com
pelled to take to his bed some four
weeks ago and remained confined at
home constantly until his death.
While he rapidly approached a very
serious condition and the members of
his family at a distance were called
to his bedside because of the fear that
this would be his last sickness, he
was thought to be much- improved
Sunday and Monday, and hopes en
tertained that he would rally from
this attack. A sudden turn came on
Tuesday morning, and before mem
bers of his family residing in town
could reach his side, he had passed
beyond. While not unexpected, his
death came nevertheless as a shock
to his family and many friends.
Speaking of himself to his near
friends just a few days before his de
mise, Mr. Noble stated that he felt he
never could be well again; that his
suffering had become an extreme bur
den to himself and his family, and he
was anxiously awaiting his summons
to go; he rejoiced in the fact that he
was prepared for the change and was
happy and content. The end came
very peacefully after a night of com
parative rest.
George Noble was born on Novem
ber 12, 1841, at Wittenberg, in Ger
many. His parents died when he was
very young and he was thrown upon
his own resources and at the tender
age of fifteen left behind the scenes
of the fatherland and the friends of
childhood, seeking his fortune in the
new world and locating In Indianap
olis, Indiana, where he sat himself to
learn the harness maker's trade,
which was accomplished before 1862,
the date of his enlistment to fight in
the Civil War. After various service
connected with the fortunes of war
he was detailed to act as one of an
.cort to an emigrant. train from the
Missouri river to Walla Walla, Wash
ington, it being his lot to drive a
mule team over the entire distance.
Being discharged at the end of his
service he turned to the Boise valley
to search for the hidden treasure in
the mining fields, continuing there
until 1865 when he repaired to Sa
lem, Oregon, and took up his trade,
following it uninterruptedly there for
seven years and then came to what is
now Morrow county, arriving here in
1872. He located on McKinney creek
where he took four hundred and
eighty acres of land. This he added
to by purchase and established a fine
farm and engaged in stockraising.
In 1886 he was nominated and
elected to the office of county treas
urer of Morrow county, being the
first one elected to fill that position
after this county was formed. He
served in this capacity for two terms
and was then elected to the sheriff's
office, serving the people in this ca
pacity very faithfully for two terms.
He then returned to the farm and de
voted his attention to his private in
terests there for three years when he
came to Heppner and established the
harness and saddlery business that Is
now continued by his son, E. G. No
ble. Mr. Noble also served as city
councilman of Heppner for many
years, being elected to this office at
various times.
Mr. Noble was married to Mildred
M. Gray, at Salem, Oregon, in Janu
ary, 1870, and is survived by his
widow and the following children:
Eugene G., of Heppner; George, of
Amos, Nevada, Mrs. Jennie McCarter,
of Los Angeles, Calif., and Frank of
Grant County, Oregon. All were
present at the bedside of their father
in his last sickness except George who
has been unable to reach Heppner.
Besides theBe, two other children,
Nellie and Clarence, are deceased.
Mr. Noble was for years one of the
foremost of our citizens, being active
in the upbuilding of this part of the
state. He had been called to many
quality this year and keen competi
tion is looked for, since bigger and
better premiums will be offered this
year for special exhibits.
The management is busy at the
present time lining up special at
tractions and one of the features al
ready signed up is the Belmont sis
ters, balloonists. Instead of making
the double parachute dive as last
year, Julia Belmont will make the
more thrilling descent this year by a
triple parachute dive. The band has
also been secured for the next fair.
Postmaster Richardson and fam
ily spent their fourth of July vaca
tion at the Hamilton ranch at the
head of Rhea creek, and enjoyed a
gook soaking from the big rain on
Sunday afternoon.
Former Heppner Boy
Dies at Walla Walla
John Roberts, a native son of
Heppner, died at the Walla Walla
Hospital on Thursday evening last
after an illness of many months dura
tion. Mr. Roberts had been an inva
lid for the past two years and spent
last winter in California in the hope
that his health would be benefitted
but he found no permanent relief and
upon his return to his home at Waits
burg, he was taken to the Walla Wal
la hospital where he could be better
cared for. All that medical science
could do was done for him but his ail
ment could not be overcome.
Joh Roberts was the oldest son
of Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Roberts, old
time residents of this city, and vic
tims of the Heppner flood. His rela
tives here are Mrs. J. T. Kirk, and

City Fathers Meet
And Transact Business
The city fathers met in regular
monthly session at the city hall on
Tuesday evening, the meeting being
deferred until that date owing to
Monday being a legal holiday. Mayor
Smead was present and presided,
with all councilmen present except
Kirk.
Two new ordinances were present
ed for first reading. These were Nos.
153 and 154. The former pertains
to the Issuing of building permits
anywhere within the city limits, and
when it finally becomes a law, no
class or kind of a building can be put
up in the city without permission
from the proper authorities. The
latter Is designed to regulate and con
demn old and unused and decaying
buildings and awnings about the city.
Both are good measures.
Applications were filed for the rt.
newal of six liquor licenses and the
same granted.
The reports of the recorder and
marshal were presented and ap
proved. Permission was granted to a party
to erect an electric sign on Main st.,
the same to be at least 22 feet above
the level of the street. This regula
tion will govern the erection of all
such signs.
Report of city treasurer for term
ending June 30, presented and re
ferred to the finance committee.
The city attorney was instructed
to prepare an agreement between the
city and School District No. 1, re
tarding improvements on the street
leading to the school house. These
improvements will be in the nature
of grading up the street, putting in
a new 12-foot sidewalk leading up to
the concrete steps from the bridge
north of the Healey barn. The school
district and the city will join in the
work and it will make it much easier
to get to the school building from
that way.

places of trust In public and private
life, and had never been found want
ing. It was said of him always, that
his word was as good as his bond.
He was a citizen of sterling worth
and modest demeanor, and while he
has lived a quiet life most of the time
for the past fifteen years, yet he has
been called upon to act in smaller
places of responsibility the most of
this time, and every duty has been
faithfully and promptly discharged.
He was a faithful member of Hepp
ner Lodge No. 69, A. F. & A. M., and
Willow Lodge No. 66, I. O. O. F. In
these two lodges he has held the
highest offices, and for years he has
been the treasurer of the Masonic
lodge and a faithful attendant. Of
late years he has been a sufferer from
chronic stomach trouble, and this ail
ment at last brought him low. By
his splendid character and upright
manhood, George Noble has built a
monument to himself in this com
munity that will last for all time.
His funeral will be conducted to

LEXINGTON HOLDS
GOOD CELEBRATION
Wrestling .Match and Parade by Res
idents of ('larks ( anyiin and
Social Kidge Features
Large Crowd Attends.
Observation of the national day
was held at Lexington last Saturday,
July 3. Long before the opening ex
ercises teams and auto loads of peo
ple commenced to arrive in town to
spend the day. During the week the
weather had been unusually warm,
but on this day the weather was much
cooler and proved to be an ideal sum
mer day for this event.
The program began at 10 o'clock
with the races held on Arcade street,
which occupied the attention of the
visitors until 11 o'clock. Then came
the water fight with the fire hose on
Main street, which was enjoyed
greatly by the spectators, the con
testants receiving a good wetting.
After this event all went to the
grove for the musical program and
addresses. The principal address of
the day was by Rev. T. S. Handsaker,
of Heppner, after which followed a
basket dinner.
At 1:30 the crowd assembled at
the ball grounds to witness a good
game between lone and Moro. lone
won by a score of 5 to 2.
After the ball game the horse races
were held on Water street, and some
fast races were pulled off. The races
were followed by a bucking contest.
The wrestling match between J. L.
Nouregaard of Baker and Jack Ken
nedy of Hermiston, was staged In the
dancing pavilion at 8 o'clock. After
more than two hours of wrestling,
with neither man getting a fall, the
match was called a draw and stopped.
After this event, dancing was in
dulged in until a late hour.
Last, but not lease, In the import
ant features of the day was the spec
ial parade by the people of Clarks
Canyon and Social Ridge. This pa
rade was a complete surprise to the
spectators as this feature of the day's
events was not known even to the
committee on amusements. It was
a great treat to the crowd, and the
old fashioned plug uglies in the pa
rade brought forth shouts of laugh
ter from the spectators. In the pa
rade were also pioneer people In pre
historic vehicles, wlio had come to
town to see the sights. Their liberty
car was beautifully decorated with
the national colors. The last In line
was a huge auto truck, the latest in
vention in road machines. Taken
all around, the parade was well got
ten up and carried out in good shape,
and those who were privileged to see
it will not forget this event for some
time.
This was the first celebration held
in Lexington since 1907 and the
crowd, was in good humor ot all
times, since there was never a dull
minute in the day's entertainment.
The program was carried out without
any delay and the comments from the
visitors were, that it was a day well
spent. The Live Wire committee
that had charge of the program, is to
be congratulated for the splendid
manner in which it was carried out.
