The company is giving a school of instruction this week at Spokane, and those who have become posses sors of the machines were ? called there to take a course in operation. A party was given at the Christian church on Friday evening last in faon or of the retiring pastor and his wife. It had been planned as a sur prise, but in some way knowledge of what was going on had "leaked" and this feature was not carried out perfectly. A fine time was had, hew ever, the capacity of the building be ing taxed to its utmost to care for all who attended. As a token ot es teem and by way of rememberance, Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds were present ed with a handsome rug, the gift of members of the church and their friends. " " ' " ;;" -' h .' Some party or parties, living , in mortal fear that they might never be able to get booze in Oregon, entered the depot express room on Monday night and removed therefrom four packages containing eight quarts pt liquor. The packages stolen were all consigned to people in the county and Agent Feldman succeeded in recov ering all the empty cartons Which were picked up in the vicinity ot the depdt. Entrance to the building was evidently made through one of the doors as there was no sign that the windows had been forced, h There was much indulgence in intoxicants during the early part of the evening, and whiskey was passed around quite freely, so it is reported, but whether this was some of the goods stolen has not been developd as yet. The hardship thus worked on our country friends is something awful to eon template, and it now looks like they would be deprived of ever looking a boUJe of California or Utah boose in the face again. As one man re marked. "I do not care a puff of me pipe for this, but O'm afraid I can never get any more." " " Chas. Shaver has finished a second well on the place of H.

BOARD REDUCING ITS INDEBTEDNESS For the .benefit of those who do not understand how and by whom the Fair Board is appointed the fol lowing information will eo doubt be ot interest. Under an act passed by the Legislature of 1911 the Cmmtv courta of the various counties of the state were , authorized to appoint a Board consisting of not less than s members as a County Fair Board. One to serve one year, one to serve two years and the third for three years. The Fair. Board is under bonds to account for all money and property and are reauired bv law to make a financial report to the County Court not later than Novem ber 1, each year. This report was duly filed and is a matter of record for anyone to see at any time they care to go to the Court house and ask the County Clerk for it. All property belongs to the County and the Board., acts as Trustees or officers in charge of same for the county. '". v . .. ..' ' v Since filing our report for 1916 we have received the appropriation from the county of J 1150 and applied it on the outstanding indebtedness reduc ing same from $2395 to $1273.50, which is our total indebtedness at the present time. The indebtedness is represented by the ground and buildings which are worth better than $5,000. By an act passed by the Legisla ture of 191 S all county school super intendents were made members of the Fair Board to have charge and look after the school and education al work. . : ' ; .. We desire to thank the people of Morrow county for the liberal sup port given the Fair in the past and hope that the Fair will continue to merit ever better support in the fu ture. : ' Respectfully submitted. .
