Gurrigues Was In Business Here for Long Number of Years Heart Failure Was Cause of Death. S. P. Garrlgues died in Portland Friday morning. Death came to him while he was standing in the front yard qf his home, heart failure from which he had suffered for a number of years, being the cause. . S. Parker Garrlgues was born in Delaware county, - Pennsylvania, be ing the son of Benjamin D. and Sarah M. (Pierce) Garrlgues. : His eight years old, and consequently he was thrown upon his own resources early in life. He had but little schooling, but' through his industry and studious habits made himself well Informed and educated. At the age of 14, Mr. Garrigues went to Philadelphia, where he entered the employ of Strawbrldge & Co., dry goods merchants. Later he moved to Alliance, Ohio. From Ohio he came to Oregon and settled in Yam hill county in 1872. Leaving the Willamette Valley one year later, Mr. Garrlgues came to Heppner and embarked in the sheep business. After a little while he went into the sawmill and lumber business In the upper WUlow creek regions with Julius Keith ly. Mr. Garrlgues made considerable money In this venture and later sold out to A. M. Slocum. In 1895, Mr. Garrlgues opened up a hardware and Implement store In Heppner, bearing his name and later his son Percy became interested In the business which was thereafter conducted under the firm name of S. P. Garrlgues and Son. ' In a very short time the store built up a repu tation as one of the really big stores of its kind in this section of Oregon. A large part of the trade was with the farmers and stockmen of interior Oregon. Owing to falling health, Mr. Garrigues was forced to seek a different climate, and a few years ago he and his son sold their store to F. P. Vaughn & Sons. Since that time the family made their home in Portland. During his residence In Morrow count Park Garrigues was favored with many honors of a political na ture. He was the first county clerk of this county, having been appointed by Governor Moody.

The funeral of the deceased was held in Portland last Saturday. He Is survived by his wife and son Percy. ' George Bleakman of Hardman was in the city Wednesday. S. H. Webb, Astoria salesman, wsfs in the city this week. I THE LIBERTY LOAN "There is not a single sel- fish element In the cause we are fighting for . The supreme test of the Nation has come.

Since I shall not have an oppor tunity to speak to you personally about this matter as many of you have been excused from further at tendance for the year, I take this means of urging you to be at the school building on Saturday, June the 9th, at 1 p. m. to participate in the Red Cross parade. The committee have aranged paraphernalia for the girls and the boys should bring flags. I am particularly anxious that as many as possible pupils of the high school and upper grammar grades should be present to take part in this ceremony. Thru a misunderstanding on the part of the committee you were Informed that you were not needed at that time, but that had reference to taking other parts in the program only. Much has been done thruout the schools during the year to cultivate the spirit of pa triotism you have been taught that the call of country Is as the voice of God tli at it should take precedence over all other earthly commands, so now you are urged to come out and help organize the Morrow County Red Cross Chapter. The Red Cross has a most important work to do. Perhaps many of you recall Clara many of you recall Clara Barton's Barton's famous telegram: "I am with the wounded and dying." No doubt before this terrible war is ov er some one from Hepr" : may be sending a similar tf''j.j.ain. Come then and encourage Ly your presence this great cause. Respectfully yours. H. II. HOFFMAN". OLD CAR ISSOME BUCKER J. H. Cox has discovered one four wheeled vehicle that has got more twists and turns than the worst broncho that ever pranced before a Pendleton Round-Up crowd. Taking a spin down the creek road with his son Harold in a 1492 Oldsmobile this week, the first car ever brought to Heppner and one of the first ten sold In the state, Mr. Cox was the victim of hard knocks. His son was driving, and hitting a big bowlder which had in some manner rolled in to the road, the car came to an abrupt stop. Mr. Cox was pitched out ot the car on his back. A few bruises and some chagrin and discomforts were the total casualties.
