MUST BE MUZZLED
Steps Taken to Prevent Spread of
Hydrophobia. Hmiday filming
of Picture Shows und Pluces
of Amusement to be Vot
ed on at December
Election.
"Safety First" is the slogan now
adopted by the city council of Hepp
ner, and owing to the many cases of
hydrophobia in this vicinity, the city
fathers have considered it beat to or
der all dogs muzzled. This order will
go Into effect next Monday and ac
cording to city officials, will be strict
ly enforced.
Sunday closing of motion picture
shows and other places of amusement
will be one of the leading issues of
the December election. Some time
ago the council was presented with a
petition signed by many of the citi
zens of the city asking that the coun
cil take steps to close these places on
Sunday. After due deliberation, the
law-making body of the town has de
cided to refer the matter to the peo
ple, and consequently It will be a
measure on the ballot to be voted
upon at the regular city election In
December.
The -city Is now advertising for bids
for the construction of a concrete
bridge across Willow creek at the
lower end of Gale street to take the
place of the old wooden bridge now
used. Since the new bridge Is to be
built at the end of Gale street, the
street now leading to the old bridge
will be closed. The new bridge, with
the changed appearance it will bring
will undoubtedly add much to the
civic beauty of this part of town.
Completes Road Job.
Geo. 13. Whitcomb this week fin
ished his contract of grading the Wil
low creek road from Heppner to the
Hager bridge. The same was in
spected by the county court and ac
cepted, and Mr. Whitcomb settled
with in full for balance due on con
tract. This road covers a distance of
over three miles and is now in shape
for surfacing and smoothing down.
The county spent $31)00 with Mr.
Whitcomb and it will take some $2.
000 more, perhaps, to get it in good
shape for travel. For nearly the en
tire distance the track has been cut
out of the rock and the contractor
found it necessary to use a lot of pow
der in getting this rock out of the
way. When finished, this will be one
of the finest pieces of road work in
Morrow county and there should be
little difficulty in keeping it up.
Thus. Brioily Dies.
News was received in Heppner Sun
day of the death on that morning at
his home in South Bend, Wash., of

Dan. B. Stalter, chief stockholder
and manager of the Mayflower group
of mines in the Greenhorn district in

Friday evening with specimens of ore
recently taken out by his men there.
Mr. Stalter is very enthusiastic over
the prospect and he says that ore
now being taken from the mine will
assay $2000 to the ton. A meeting
of the stockholders of the mine was
held in Heppner on Monday after
noon and it was promptly decided to
authorize Mr. Stalter to continue
with the development work, and he
was furnished the necessary financial
backing for this purpose. Dan has
struck it rich from present Indica
tions and the Mayflower group will
yet be classed among the great
' wealth producing properties of the
Baker mining district. Mr. Stalter
returned to the mine Tuesday. '

Oregon Building, Panama-Pacific
Exposition, July 20. The most forci
ble utterance before the Internation
al Press Congress was that of Mr. Ed
gar B. Piper, of the Oregonian, who
protested vigorously against the state
and government laws that go far to
restrict the real usefulness and ser
vice of the newspapers of the land.
In the confidence that the real intent
of the increasing restrictions imposed
is to create a bureaucratic means of
censorship and oppression, Mr. Piper
urged newspaper men and organiza
tion's to stand firmly against all the
men and measures that would make
the newspapers of the United States
take on the paleness of the unfor
tunate European press now "mere
phonographic voices of autocratic
government." Insisting that the pol
itician desires nothing so much as the
control of the newspapers, and that
the office-holder is, after all, too fre
quently but a translated politician,
the Oregonian editor urged that the
Government, and the state, as rep
resented by the office-holder, should
not have the power to determine the
precise conditions upon which a par
ticular Item or article may be printed.
He denied the legal or moral right
of the government to say that this
matter shall go in the advertising col
umns, or that in the news columns,
or the other on the editorial page. At
the present time no newspaper is free
from the menace of an official cen
sorship and the penalties of a fine or
exclusion from the malls; no longer
has any newspaper man the right to
conduct his paper in any great meas
ure as he might determine, and ob
noxious law makes the newspaper as
a class appear as dishonest, their col
umns filled with that which is taint
ed, untruthful or otherwise infamous.
Mr. Piper dented the right of the gov
ernment or the state to place the
newspapers and the public at such
disadvantage, and he urged newspa
per men to be alert that the neces
sary, freedom of the press shall not
be wiped oilt altogether. In closing
an address that made a profound im
pression and started definite action
against further encroachment, Mr.
Piper said: "t make no objection to
the requirement that all daily news
papers shall print semi-annual state
ments of their average circulation
and the names of their editors, pub
lishers, bondholders and other pub
lic creditors and all other pertin
ent facts about these publications
neither do I proclaim the right of a
newspaper to print what it pleases,
when it pleases and where it pleases,
but I do repudiate the implied as
sumption and exercise by government
OREGON BUILDING IS CENTER
OF AGTjVITTAT EXPOSITION
BUS TEAM FRIGHT-
Wulter Gemmell Takes Rapid Ride
Down Slain Street And Is Finally
Thrown From Wagon. -
Walter Gemmell, who drives the
Palace hotel bus team, received a
rapid ride down Main street yester
day evening, and narrowly escaped
serious Injuries when the heavy wag
on came In contact with an electric
light pole near the fair grounds.
The big black team, which was
standing In front of Minor & Co.'s
store, evidently became frightened
either at the big black band from
the Virginia Minstrels, or the music
they were making and started off
down the street at high speed almost
before their driver was aware of their
Intentions. Young Gemmell made a
heroic effort to control them and suc
ceeded in edging them into the high
board fence near the Fair grounds.
Gemmell was thrown from the wagon
when It hit the pole. A few scratches
and , bruises to the driver, a broken
wagon tongue and a demolished fence
were the total damages.
" A large crowd on the street enjoy
ing the band music witnessed the
runaway and the minstrels became
so excited watching the running hor
ses that they stopped right in the
middle of the piece they were play
ing. E. G. Noble this week received a
postal card from Leo Blackman, who
is at present In Cubo. Leo visited
Heppner about a year ago, having at
that time made his escape from Mex
ico. ( He is a mining engineer and in
following the quest for the precious
metal has visited most of the im
portant mining sections of the west
ern hemisphere.
The Newlon well drilling outfit fin
ished drilling at the Guy Boyer ranch
the first of the week, and on Wednes
day was taken to the farm of Walt
Rood on Heppner flat, where they

Mr. and Mrs. Chance Wilson, of
Monument, have been visiting with
relatives and friends in Heppner dur
ing the week. They will return home
in a now Ford which Mr. Wilson pur
charf$ from Vaughn & Sons. j
Mrs. J. L. Wilkins returned home
from Arlington yesterday, after visit
ing at the home of her father, E. C.
Maddock for several days.
of the function of newspaper admin
istration in detail. The newspaper
(daily or weekly) is responsible to
its public for the honest presentation
of the news and for the integrity and
value of its editorial utterances
There is a certain infallible public in
stinct intangible but nevertheless
real which determines the worth of
any newspaper, and which far sur
passes any statutory rule as a guide
and mentor for newspaper conduct
Much may be safely left to the public
intuition and the public understand
ing. The newspapers know, if your
public official does not, for they are
restrained and corrected by it all the
time.
"ALL OREGON WEEK."
August 9th to 16th Inclusive is to
be "All Oregon Week" at the Oregon
building, with exercises extraordin
ary on the 9th and special days con
tinuing through the week. Every
thing possible to bring Oregon to the
attention of the Exposition crowds
will be attempted during this season
of activity. All sorts of plans are
under consideration and it is certain
a magnificent week's program will be
worked out. It is expected that sev
eral Oregon bands and marching or
ganizations will be here at that time
and that many of Oregon's distin-
1 gulshed citizens will be here to par
ticipate in one way or another. An
orchestra and vocalists will furnish
music each day and at night there
will be dances and special programs.
Eastern Oregon will have one day all
its own and in all probability Repre
sentatives Lackey and McCully will
give away sacks of popcorn as sou
venirs of the occasion. At the same
time the Pendleton Round-up will be
featured in some unique way. The
Willamette Valley representatives are
in correspondence with the various
commercial clubs ami are hoping to
stir up something new and novel that
will make their day the greatest of
all. Taylor, Dunsmore, Freytag, War
ren, Stevenson, Proctor, and l? risen
waite, all representing the Willam
ette valley counties, make up a for
midable organization. The Coos Bay
man, J. A. Ward, figures on a clam
I bake, of which California and the
t u, i,t niiuns iiiiir. l ill- vMrf,i'u
building, located within a few feet of
a sandy beach, offers ideal conditions
for such an affair and if Ward can
pull off this stunt his dav will prove
the hit of the festivities. If this fails
to work out, Coos Bay cheese and
crackers, will have an inning. Sou-
Itliern Oregon is going to crowd a two-
dny affair into one day, but refuses
to divulge the particulars at this
time. Representative Frebach says

eral autos, and the wool picking was
not all they had to do. They had a
dinner of the finest kind, meats, sal
ads, pickles, cake, kraut and several
other good things too numerous to
mention, prepared by Mrs. Padberg
and Mrs. John Cochran and we all
know the taste of the cooking of
these good ladies too well to have

Breaks a Couple of Ribs. '
C. W. Lawson, who is running
what Is known as the Holt ranch up
Balm Fork, received a fall Tuesday of
sufficient force to break a couple of
ribs. At first it was not thought that
the old gentleman had been much
hurt as he had not fallen far enough,
apparently, to cause such severe in
jury, but his injuries getting more
painful, Dr. Wlnnard was called from
Heppner and found that two ribs had
been fractured. Mr. Lawson was
leading a horse at the time that
pulled back strongly on the halter
and when the rope gave way he fell
back and struck over a pole on the
ground. The physician adjusted the
fracture and the Injuries will proper
ly heal in time.
Franklin Hill Road Completed.
J. B. Culick, who had the contract
for building the road over Franklin
hill for Morrow county, has complet
ed his job, the work has been accept
ed by the commissioners, and Mr. Cu
lick paid in full for his labors. In
the building of this piece of road, an
eyesore on the highway between
Heppner and Pendleton, which has
been the means of turning a lot of
travel away from this place, has been
eliminated. There should be no more
trouble of this sort from now on as
we are assured that the new grade is
an excellent one and on no part of it
is there a greater than eight per cent
grade, and this is but for about 1300
feet of the distance. The balance of
the 9700 feet of road is on 6 per cent
grade. Mr. Culick did the job up in
record breaking time. It is thor
oughly well built, proper drainage
ditches put in, and there should be
little difficulty in keeping up this
piece of highway in the future. The
work cost the county $1500. and it
is a piece of money well spent.
