Will You Be Ready With Your Exhib
its More Serial Cash Prizes
WiU Be Offered.
W. W. SMEAD, Secretary. -The
Filth Annual Morrow County
Fair to be held this year on Septem
ber 13-14-15 will be the best ever
held it the people do. their part. We
must have your cooperataion to the
fullest extent to make the Fair what
it should be. The Fair Board can
assure the people that the amuse
ments will be up-to-date and first
class. However, we cannot Insure the
exhibits without the cooperation of
the entire people of Morrow county.
Now Is the time to plan what you
are going to have in the way of veg
etables and other agricultural pro
ducts. The Chas. H. Lilly Company
of Seattle offer a special cash prize of
$10 for the best exhibit of farm and
garden products raised from Lilly
seeds. This is worth working for.
The Board will give a number of
special prizes this season for the best
exhibit of potatoes and onions. These
prizes will be awarded strictly from
their adaptability to the soils oi Mor
row county. A written statement
must accompany each- exhibit show
ing when they were planted, when
dug, estimated yield per acre, their
keeping ability and all other informa
tion that will be of value to prospec
tive growers of these varieties.
We are going to specialize this year
on those vegetables that we can grow
to perfection in this county and yet
are shipping in car loads each , year
and paying two prices. Morrow coun
ty can produce all the vegetables it
uses and more if the people will take
the trouble to plant and care for them
while they are growing. We all
squeal about the high cost of living
but do not try very hard to find why
the cost is so high, or what we could
do to lower the cost.
No country in the world can raise
better potatoes, onions, cabbage, car
rots, beets and other vegetables of
this kind than can grow in Morrow
county. Yet we pay thousands of
dollars in freight to the railroad and
. express . companies and - thousands
more to growers in other parts of the
country for stuff that we can grow at
home, getting it fresh from the farms
Whose fault is it? Can the fault be
overcome? If so, how? For the best
answer to the above questions the
Board will pay a special cash prize of
$5. All articles are to be in the
hands of the Board not later than
Stant 1 9. Tin vnn lrnnw nf nnvthlnv
that in your opinion would help make
the Fair better, more instructive and
of more value to the people. If you
do, put it in writing and mall it to
the Secretary and the same will have
the careful consideration of the
Board.
Lets' make the Fair what it has al
ways been the best county fair in
Oregon. It is the people's Fair and it
will be Just what they want it to be.
JAY VALE DROWNED
IN MISSOURI RIVER
S. W. Spencer of this city received
a telegram Monday morning bringing
the sad news of the death of Jay Vale
In the Missouri river near Blsmark,
N. D. The telegram, which was sent
by Mrs. Vale, stated that the accident
occurred while Mr. Vale was attempt
rng to cross the river in a boat. The
river was being dragged, but up to
the time of sending the telegram, the
body had not been recovered.
Mr. Vale was formerly at the head
of the dry goods department at Mi
nor & Co. It was while he made his
hpme in this city that he was married
to Miss Ella Ayers. After leaving
Heppner, they lived tor a time at La
Center, Wash. They had been living
in Blsmark during the past two years.
Since the above was written, the
body has been recovered and the fun
eral was held at Blsmark Wednesday.
Although the family lives In Blsmark
Mr. Vale had been traveling out of
Minneapolis for an automobile con
cern. Committed to Asylum.
Chris Weinshenck was this week
adjudged Insane and was ordered
committed to the Eastern Oregon
branch asylum at Pendleton. He will
be taken to that place upon the ar
rival of an attendant from that in
stitution. Mr. Weinshenck has been a famil
iar figure about Heppner for a num
ber of years and was always consider
ed a good worker and much in de
mand as a farm hand. However, his
notions of late .aroused the author
ities to take proper steps and upon
examination he was pronounced to be
in a decidedly unbalanced frame of
mind. He is a native of Sweden.
School Teacher Acquitted.
Reports from .Salem state that Sup
erintendent of Public Instruction, J.
A. Churchill has upheld the decision
of County Superintendent Shurte rel
ative to the charges made against W.

with making undue attentions to a
16-year-old school girl. Superintend

ough investigation, reported the
charges groundless. ,
MQRRQV
CHILDREN HAVE PART
IN PREPAREDNESS PLAN
Heppner, Oregon, April 9, 1917.
Dear Boys and Girls:
Now is the time for every boy and
girl in Morrow county, and particu
larly those of the Industrial Clubs
who have taken up the Garden Pro
ject, to get busy.
The Food Supply is of as great im
portance as any phase of preparedness
for the National Crisis which we are
now facing. At present we have a
shortage of foods, and prices are
high.
Since we have entered into this
war our obligation to furnish food
to the allied nations will be greatly
Increased. I wish we might plan a
campaign for this community, deter
mine the amount of ground available
and the number of persons who may
be enlisted to put it to its best use.
l'he Oregon Agricultural College
has prepared a special series of pham
phiets on poultry keeping, vegetable
gardening, the economical use of
foods, which will be available to the
people of the State. They will be
glad to send a supply of these publi
cations upon receipt of evidence that
this work is being efficiently organ
ized in the community.
Show your patriotism by planting
a garden. Plenty of free seed at this
office.'
Yours truly,
LENA SNELL SHURTE,
County School Superintendent.
TURNER STARTS SHEAR
ING PLANTS THIS WEEK
Frank W. Turner, the veteran
sheep shearer, will start his shearing
plants this week. The first crew,
which will operate under his super
vision, will begin work at the Jas.
Carty ranch at Tub Springs and will
consist of eight men. The second
plant, owned and operated by Mr.
Turner, will be in charge of W. C.
Sullivan, the man who holds- the
Northwest record in the point of
number of sheep sheared iu one day
Mr. Sullivan has sheared something
over three hundred sheep in a single
day. His plant will soon be in oper
ation at the headquarters ranch south
of Heppner. Mr. Turner is looking
forward to a very successful season
JOHN PADBERG BUYS
480-ACRE WHEAT FARM
John H. Padberg, an extensive
wheat farmer living west of Hepp
ner, has purchased the Adklns ranch
which is east of the Padberg home
place.. The ranch consists of 480
acres and is considered one of the
best wheat producers in that section.
It is about five miles west of Heppner.

kins but we did not learn the consid
eration involved.
EASTER SINGERS GREET
ED BY LARGE AUDIENCE
The rendition of the Easter can
tata, "Easter Angels," at the Feder
ated church on, Sunday evening was
greeted by an overflowing house.
The music was rendered under the di
rection ot Mrs. H. A. Noyes who han
dled the chorus in fine style and
brought out the effects of the chor
uses in a way that proves her to be a
good interpreter of this class of mu
sic. The solos were all good and the
cantata was greatly enjoyed by the
listeners. We understand that Mrs.
Noyes will take up the work of pre
paring another cantata of a similar
nature which will be given in the
near future, and, we will be glad to
announce this as a fact. ' Heppner has
a lot of good talent that should be
developed, and the organization of a
chorus of singers that would be pre
pared to render good music on all oc
casions would be a fine thing, in
deed. No reason at all why a place
of this size should not have a splen
didly developed bunch of singers,
trained in ensemble work, and we be
lieve Mrs. Noyes is well qualified to
take charge and bring the chorus up
to a high state of efficiency.

SURVEYOFHIGHWAY
Estimates on Cost of Construction
Are Also Asked For Court Looks
With Favor on Present Bond
iNsue.
The court of Morrow county has
written to Engineer Bennett, of the
State department of highway engin
eering, asking him to make a survey
of the proposed highway from the
Umatilla county line to the Gilliam
county line through Morrow county.
Mr. Bennett and his crew are now
working out from Pilot Rock and
will soon be in Morrow ocunty. Ac
cording to the map of the proposed
highways affected by the $6,000,000
bonding issue, two of these roads will
pass through this county. The one
going up the Columbia river in the
north end of the county has already
been surveyed.
The court will also ask for esti
mates on the cost of building the base
for the Pilot Rock-Heppner road. If
the outlay for preliminary construc
tion is not too great, work will com
mence in the near future, providing
the bonding bill passes at the special
June election. Engineer Bennett has
made the statement that the cost of
preparing the highway through this
county for hard surfacing should be
at the minimum, for the reason of
soil adaptability to road building and
the close proximity of all the neces
sary material.
County Judge Patterson has here
tofore been opposed to the bonding
idea, but looks with -some favor upon
the present issue. - However, he is of
the opinion that a more unified sys
tem of road construction should be
adopted by the state highway com
mission. He does not believe that the
real permanent road has yet been
built and looks to the concrete road
as solving the problem. The cost of
the concrete road, he believes, would
not make it practical as yet.. He is la
favor of building the highway if the
cost does not prove to be too great
in proportion to the benefits to be
derived. ;
Commissioner Currin is enthusias
tic for better roads and at a recent
meeting held in this city made the
statement that the court sood ready
to cooperate as tar as possible in
building a permanent road tf own Wil
low creek to the Gilliam county line.

JOHX WILLARD RASMUS.
John Willard Rasmus was born
in Copenhagen, Denmark, Sept. 16
1853, and died at Heppner; Oregon
April 6, 1917, aged 63 years, t
months and 20 days. He came to
America when a lad six years of age,
landing at New York. After a short
stay there his family moved to Deer
Lodge, Montana and then to Walla
Walla, Wash., where he grew to
manhood and received his education
At this place Mr. Rasmus took up the
stuay or dentistry which profession
he followed for a number of years.
In 1874 he moved to the Willamette
Valley and was there married to
Mary Etta Cox, October 7th, 1876 and
continued to live there until 1881,
when, with his family he moved to
Garfield county, Washington and
came to Heppner in 1886.
. To Mr. and Mrs. Rasmus four
children were born. Bertie Ivan,
who died in infancy; Frank O. and J.
Orville Rasmus and Lucia E. Bonine,
all of Heppner, who with the widow,
Mary Etta Rasmus, survive.
For a number of years after firsi
coming to Heppner Mr... Rasmus fol
lowed his profession of dentist. He
later gave up his practice here, and
engaged in the grocery business with
the late W. A. Kirk. Later retiring
from this business he followed other
avocations in Heppner, and was mar
shal of the city for a number of years.
At the ,tinie of his sickness he wa-j en
gaged in operating a small farm on
Balm Fork, a couple of miles south
east of town.
Mr. Rasmus was a cltizan highly
respected In this community for his
many excellent qualities and his de
parture from this life at this time
comes as a shock to his many friends
and acquaintances here. He was a
member of Heppner Lodgs No. 69,
A. F. & A. M., and this order had
charge' of the funeral services which
were held at the grave on Sunday
afternoon in the presence of a large
gathering of friends who had come

a departed citizen.
Funeral services for the infant son
ot Mr. and Mrs. Fred Lucas were
held at the Episcopal church on Fri
day morning last, conducted by Rev.
Geo. B. Van Waters, the remains be
ing interred in Masonic cemetery.
The sudden death ot Frederick J.
Lucas is indeed sad and a severe
blow to his parents. He was one of
a pair ot twin boys born to Mr. and
Mrs. Lucas a little more than three
months ago and when called by death
waa apparently In perfect health.
The cause ot death will remain hid
den among those inexplainable
things that happen at times during
the course of human events. In this
bereavement Mr. and Mrs. Lucas have
the Bincere sympathy of the entire
community.
