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.

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

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.

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.
He it is who is holding up the hands
of the Remington-UMC dealer making
