MORROW OOl NTY OFFICIAL PAPKH Thursday, July 22, 1915. IT IS yours, vsb: it. We have been informed by Secre tary Smead, of tlie Fair Board, that the grove at the fair grounds in Heppner is open to the free use of the people of Morrow county as a place of rest and recreation. This little grove is supplied with seats, the city water is on tap there and it is an ideal place to rest in the shade. The Board is making some necessary restrictions in its use, such as forbidding the taking of vehicles on the grounds, the building of fires, etc., but notwithstanding, there is much other use that it can be put to during the heated term. Swings should be erected there for the amusement of the kiddies; and then other rest conveniences put up and this grove made to take the place of a "rest room" that it is ack nowledged Heppner stands so much in need of. The idea that the Fair Board has in mind is, that the grounds belong to the people of Morrow county and they should make all the use of them they can. The buildings will be closed and are not for free use, they being built for special purposes, but the grove is a nice shady nook where anyone should feel at liberty to go and enjoy its comforts. DAY SKRVICE PERMANENT. Now that the contract has been signed up between Mr. Gates and the City of lone for the furnishing of both day and night electric current for that place for a period of ten years, the permanency of the day ser vice at Heppner is assured. In this both Heppner and lone are to be con gratulated. The great convenience of a day current has been amply dem onstrated to all those who have been nsing it since the Keppner Light & Water Company put In their dual plant at this place a year ago and be gan the sale of electric power for domestic and commercial uses. It is the finest power obtainable; clean and convenient, and can be so gener ally applied in home, shop and fac tory that it stands in the lead of all other agencies for the production of motive power. When the Company introduced the day service in Heppner, it was a mat ter of experiment. They could not tell just whether it would be a paying proposition, and as a result of this many of our users of power have been slow in adopting it. They should lies itate no longer as the service is now permanently assured, and from our experience we believe that the ser vice once installed will never be abandoned by the user. DOX'T FOIMJET THE LUSITANIA There is i studied effort in every move made by Germany ia regard to the American protests against her submarine campaign to push into the background the main cause of the controversy the sinking of the Lusi tania. Germany now tries to satisfy the United States by offering safe conduct to certain ships carrying Americans and by suggesting that the United States mediate between her and Great Britain in regard to their mutual blockade. The State Department should bring Germany sharply back to the main is sue. The murder of 100 American passengers on the Lusitania was a crime too deliberate, too brutal, too plainly an aflront to .the American Nation, to be passed over on a prom ise not to repeat the offense. It has been aggravated by an official de fense based on the statements of a perjurer. When these were disproved the further defense was made that the commander of the guilty subma rine did not think the ship would sink so tjuickly. Were such pleas made by an individual murderer when brought to justice they would be brushed aside in the most sum mary manner and would prompt the court to a greater severity. By all means let the United States arrive at an arrangement with Ger many by which the empire can exer cise its belligerent rights under in ternational law and by which Amer icana can travel the sea in safety, provided no restriction is placed on American rights in order to facilitate the warlike operations of Germany. By all means let the United States en deavor to bring about an agreement between Germany and Britain by which the horrors of naval war shall be mitigated. But don't forget the Lusitania. Full reparation can never be made, for the dead cannot be re stored to life, but such reparation as can be made should be exacted in the fullest measure. Oregonian. Mr. Farmer, have you selected that grain for the fair exhibit yet? Have it ready for the fair officers when they call. Now for the Golden Grain, Muzzle your dog. X KWSPAPKR l 1STAKKS. The mistakes of newspapers always form an interesting theme for discus sion notwithstanding that all of them make them the same as individuals. The Record of Marsnlield has a good one on the subject: For the past four days The Record has been full of typographical errors as it has been possible for it to be, mostly the result of gross careless ness. ' However, things have righted themselves again and the old stride will le resumed from now on. In this connection The Record has been reminded of its faults in a merciless way and there has come to The Rec ord a realization of this fact, as an exchange once observed, the capacity of some people for detecting errors in the newspapers is marvelous. Also it is singular how many unexpected meanings these people can find. If a reporter writes that the man wore a coat of such and such a character, someone may call up and ask if the coat was all the man had on. To sat isfy these literalists, you must enum erate item by item the other articles of attire, or they will accuse you of making the victim appear half na ked. The reader who digests his pa per on the quiet at home feels that he has shown great brilliancy if he detects an error in grammar or cap italization. It is one thing to find mistakes at your leisure in another man's work, quite another to turn out a high degree of accuracy and precision in the haste of newspaper composition. The accountant makes mistakes in his figures, the lawyer draws up incorrect papers and the business man submits erroneous' bills. Such blunders are known only to the few persons whom they concern. The newspaper is like the actor on the stage whose slightest slip is manifest to all and seems ridiculous. EXLISTIXG THE INVESTORS. Much good may come from the plan of Secretary Daniels to enlist the leading inventors of this country as a board to devise and to pass upon in ventions that may be useful to the United States navy, in case it should ever be called into action. His invi tation to Mr. Edison to become presi dent of such a board is a just recog nition of one of the world's greatest inventors. He has long been called the wizard of electricity. While nat urally gifted, his success has been due to tireless industry and unswerv ing perseverance. Gladly accepting the honor and the responsibility, he immediately proposed that a depart ment of experimentation be establish ed, in which men will work with def inite ends in view. Mr. Edison has shown the advantage of this kind Of work in the electrical realm and in improvements on the phonograph. There are two kinds of inventions. One might be called inspirational, since they come apparently by acci dent. They are more in the nature of discoveries than inventions. Oth ers come only after dilligent efforts to overcome plain defects or to sup ply long-felt wants. The original steam engine is an example of the first kind. The cotton gin is a strik ing example of the latter kind. Naval needs at present require the second kind of invention. Fulton in vented the submarine, but many suc cessors have successfully striven, to improve it. The Wright brothers in vented the aeroplane, but yesterday's dispatchs tell of a German improve ment, a triplane, which will carry twenty men and several machine guns. The submarine has reached a degree of efficiency which is aston ishing. Submarine destroyers have not kept pace. The son of John Hays Hammond has invented a way of con trolling boats at a long distance by means of the wireless. The rumors of inventions for producing explosions from a distance are so insistent that we shall not he surprised to learn of their success. There are numerous other devices which would be of in- calcuable advantage to the nation mo nopolizing them. The United States which has surpassed all other nations in inventions, should be vigilant in devising all possible means of offense and defense, so long as there is any possibility of its being involved in the great conflict which now engrosses the attention of the other leading na tions of the world. So far as general preparedness is concerned, the United States would cut a sorry figure he side nations whose resources of pop ulation and wealth are insignificant. It is high time that it do something to equalize matters.-St. Louis Globe- Democrat. The commanding officer of the Ore gon militia will see to it that no hos tile fleet ever enters the Columbia, if the government will but supply the needed ammunition. One would think the web-footers would naturally take to the submarine. A couple of sub marines stationed at Astoria ought to be able to defend the mouth of the Columbia in time of war, while in time of peace they might be employed in fishing just outside the bar. A submarine manned by divers could go down and pick up by' hand a ship load of salmon every thirty minutes. A block and tackle fixed to the peri scope could haul them in. Good win s Weekly, Salt Lake City. A feature of the coming Morrow County Fair will be public auction sales days. An auctioneer will be present and each day there will be an opportunity for disposing of stock, implements and household effects. This is a good arrangement and one that should be taken advantage of. A special feature of the fair is being arranged for in the shape of a colt show, full particulars of which will soon be announced.

MS FACT AND AMMUNITION PKIDGEPO coin m the Deliberate Choice of the Great Bedy of American Sportsmen Nowhere else in the whole field of sport do you find the like of the strong public opinion in favor of Remington-UMC. This Remington-UMC public opinion has been growing for ninety-nine years. Partly is it due to the achievements of Remington-UMC in the design or construction of Arms and Ammunition. But back of these achievements stands the fact that your American is the most practical-minded sportsman in the world and the most loyal to the arms and ammunition that give him the service he knows he ought to have.
