Hay harvest has vastly changed
the appearance of Morrow county's

where the green grain grew, and
large stacks of hay speak eloquently
of the productiveness of our soil.
Martin Anderson, of Andersonville

for a good target anyhow, immediate

George E. Wright, of Lone Rock,

W. A. Johnson has purchased a

Mrs. Kate Parsell, the bright little
woman of Alpine, who has the honor
of being the first lady Notary Public
in the state, visited the Gazette of
fice yesterday. She says that her
immediate section is not furnishing
significant proof of a successful farm
ing section, although there is consid
erable grain being threshed. Much
hay has been put up, and as range is
good adjoining and plenty of it, that
ought to be a very desirable spot in
which to winter stock, particularly
sheep.
Morrow county has a rough, tough,
old chap, Jim Smiley by name, who
makes a business of getting drunk
when he can get the whiskey, and in
this beautiful condition, goes home
and tries to tramp the life out of his
little children and poor wife. But
the neighbors are "onto" him, and
will not wait a week for, a justice of
the peace, or a constable to help ar
range matters, because they have tar,
feathers and a blacksnake on hand.
Heppner, itself, has a small edition,
occasionally, of just such fellows as
this Smiley. ;

HOWARD ESTABRCOK IN "OFFICER
666" WAS PROMINENT STAGE STAR
Howard listabrook, who plays the
lead itf George Kliene's "Officer 666"
makes his debut as a picture actor
in that film. In doing so he reverses
custom, as the majority of present
day picture actors have little or no
claim to stage fame. As a matter of
fact, an actor with a successful stage
record is almost invariably a shin
ing light in the film firmament. To
succeed in theatricals he must he
physically good to look at, possess
brains, personality and another un
named subtle power which makes or
unmakes him. Some of these things,
but not all, are essential to any wide
success in film. Hence the actor who
first makes his stage reputation has
gone through the crucible, so to
speak, and has had his powers tested
beneath the withering fire of un
biased critics and unsympathetic
Broadway first-nighters. Luckily
many well known picture stars are
saved to posterity by the happy fact
that they never faced a Broadway
gallery.
Howard Estabrook is a man of
many and varied experiences. Aside
from the having a. long and success
ful stage history, Mr. Estabrook has
been in the iron business and has
meddled a bit with politics. He was
born in Detroit, Michigan, where his
father is one of the oldest established
iron manufacturers In that part of
the country. He resigned from the
Country Treasurer's staff in 1904 to
accept an engagement with Charles
Krohman for William Collier Com
pany in "The Dictator," played In
same from New York to San Francis
co and then to London, and, incident
ally, before the late King Edward.
"On the Quiet" next, and then first
New York hit in "Firown of Harvard"
followed by Clyde Pitch's selection
for lead with Blanche Walsh in "The
Straight Road," then to Daniel Froh
man's management In "The Boys of
Company B." He also played leads
in "Going Some" and other plays,
pained under management of William
A. Brady for a term, his appearance
including Holbrook Blinn in "The
Boss", "Within the Law," "Little
Women," "The Point of View," Grace
George in "Divorcons" and "Jim's
Marriage," "The Things That Count"
and other plays. He then was signed
by David Belasco for his initial pro
duction of the present Heason, "The
Vanishing Bride."
"Officer 666" will be exhibited at
the Home Theater on Friday and
Saturday, September 8 and 4.
