DII1V T All Arrangement! Completed for Flnt Exhibition of Heppner! New Show. Three Big Days of Superb Entertainment, September 28-2S-J0. Rodeo days are drawing near, only even more daya left to dig out the sombreros, boota and spurs, and climb on the dapple-hued pony headed for Heppner town. A big time awaits you, asserts C. W. McNamer, in charge of arrangements, and no means are be ing spared to make the "wild west" contests the best ever. Everything is ready to go. The big arena and race track at Gentry field have been put in A-l shape, and bleachers built on the side of the nat ural amphitheater that all may have an excellent view of the performance. A fine assortment of wild broncos, steers, mules and bulls has been ob tained and will be brought to town this week. Cowboy and cowgirl tal ent capable to cope with the vicious animals has also been lined up, as well as many with fast racing stock, says the management, and they as sure a treat is in store for the spec tators. Two dances will be In progress at the fair pavilions each evening. One for those tame individuals who do not care for the boisterous amusement of the '49 dance, which will be carried on in the adjoining pavilion, while the '49 dance will take care of the wilder strain who would be carried back to the days of the six-shooter and whiskey flask when each cattle owner made his own law. Plenty of the old-time gambling games will be carried on in the '49 pavilion at which all may try their skill against chance in exchange for Rodeo money. At the pavilions Rodeo money will be the sole medium of exchange, and will be accepted for dancing and at all con cessions. Liberal prizes will be awarded for all events at the Rodeo. Two judges, Chance Wilson and Robert Carsner, have been appointed, who in turn will choose a third, and it is the sentiment of the management that all will re ceive a square deal. Entries can now be made through 1. 1. Nys, secretary, and Mr. McNamer urges that every one intending to take part in the show make their entries at the ear liest possible date. Friday, September 29, will be school children's day when all school child ren will be admitted to the show free of charge, it is planned to make this day a school holiday for the entire county, and the management extends an urgent invitation for all atudent kiddies of the county to be present.

(SEAL) Directors. "Bloated" Oil Journalist Visits Old Home Town Anyway his old-time sidekicks say he's bloated, for in by-gone days when he rusticated in these parts, Garfield Crawford is remembered by them as being rather of the lean, lanky type, and he was not at once recognised by many because of his present portly lines, when he visited his "old home-town" this week Gar Held has been enjoying a fins time hunting "old neuters" out of their holes and "spreading the gaff" over days when Heppner was still in its swaddling clothes, and when many of the good ladies of the town shook their heads just a little at tha men tion of hia name. Fifteen years ago Garfield left Heppner to try his fortune in other parte. Landing at Fort Worth, Tex as, where an old cronie of his, "Hep" Blackman, was cartoonist with the Star-Telegram, he took a job as re porter on the same staff and thus broke into the Journalism Held in the Lone Star state. Ambitious always, he waa not satisfied to stay long at the menial position of reporter, and it was not long till he jumped to the position of editor but, of another paper, and on his own hook. The Critic waa the heading under which his new venture was launched, and under which it sailed a fairly smooth sea until It waa re-christened the Texas Oil Critic and became an inde pendent promoter of the interests of the vast Texas oil industry. The Critic was a publication given over mainly to free lance reflections of doings about Fort Worth, and of fered an opportunity for Garfield to elaborate on his humorous and sar castic style of writing. It made con siderable of a "hit" but was not ex tremely remunerative. The oil de velopment near Fort Worth at thia time opened up a greater opportunity, and thus It was that the paper waa re-christened and threw its efforts in to another channel. Since establishing the Texas Oil Critic, Mr. Crawford has been con stantly in the oil paper publishing "game," consolidating several oil journals, and editing respectively the Texas Oil Critic, Texas Oil Critic "and Digest and the National Oil Journal, each paper being absorbed by its suc cessor. His present "pet" is the Na tional Oil Journal, a weekly 16-page newspaper devoted to the Interests of oil investors. From the job of reporter which he filled on first going to Texas, Garfield has climbed to the position where he now has 33 regular employes on his payroll who help make one of the biggest oil papers in the country, in connection with which they do a good-sixed job print ing business. Garfield also numbers among his assets fine wife and daughter. His wife, Kitty Barry, who is a writer of considerable note in Texaa newspaper circles, was unable to accompany him on his northern trip, but little Jane, 8 years old, is enjoying with him the visit with relative here. Ralph Jackson Has Close Call With Gasoline Fire Ralph Jackson, young farmer of So cial Ridge, had a close call with a gasoline fire in his garage which com pletely destroyed his automobile, granary and a lot of wheat and bar ley, one day last week. Ralph went into the building with a lantern and hung it up where he thought it was perfectly safe. He then proceeded to fill the gasoline tank on his car, but he accidentally spilt some of the gas oline on the floor and the whole place was filled with flames before he hard ly knew what had happened. It made him hustle to get in the clear, and he put out the flames which had caught his clothes by rolling in the dust, Toe fore they did him bodily injury. Undergoes Operation at Hospital. George Moore, mention of whose ailment was made in this paper last week, entered the Moore hospital on Saturday afternoon and was operated upon by Dr. C. C. Chick of this city, assisted by Dr. Walker of lone. Mr. Moore had suffered much of late, his trouble proving to be both appendi citis and gall stones. He is reported to be getting along well and should be able to leave the hospital in due course of time. Reserve District N. 12. G Seed Treating Machine to Be Sent by Heppner Firm. List of Ex hibitors Given. (East Oregonian.) Morrow county'a exhibit at the coming Northwest Hay and Grain show, to be held here during Round Up week, will be twice as large as that of last year. It is expected that Morrow county growers will take a number of prixes as Burton II. Peck, of Heppner, won first prixe for Turkey Red and C. E. Carlson of lone won first for Forty Fold at last year's show, while other exhibitors from that county won most of the prize money for baled alfalfa. An interesting feature from Mor row county will be a aeed treating machine which is being sent by the Heppner firm which makes it and which will demonstrate during the show. It is attached to the aeed clean er and runs with the same power. It treats with copper carbonate and ar rangements have been made to have Umatilla county farmers bring in sev eral loads of wheat for treatment. Saving Shown. Last year's treatment demonstrated that copper carbonate controlled smut on an average as well as other treatments, that the planta were more vigorous, growth was prompter, and saved at least 25 per cent. If the method proves satisfactory, at least 50,000 bushels can be saved annually says Fred Bennion, county agent, as one of the largest items is charged to injury in germination. C. C. Calkins, Morrow county agent will be here Saturday to start the ma chine in operation. Following is the list of Morrow county's exhibitors, whose wheat, in purity, tests from 90.5 to 90.95 per cent, and who, in many cases will ex hibit tbeir grain at the State Fair after showing it here: Turkey Red Exhibits.

They have improved the place extensively and are considered among the best far mers of this section. Mr. Moore Is one of the directors of the Hardman Farm Loan association. The acquisition of the Moore farm by Mr. Henriksen gives him a very complete stock raising plant. In con junction with his Cecil ranch and the Hamilton ranch in the mountains he has a combination that is hard to beat. The new place gives him much additional pasture and wheat land with a large acreage of alfalfa bot tom. NOTICE OF FINAL ACCOUNT. Notice is hereby given that Laura F.

(Spe cial )The Republican state central committee, under Instructions from legislative and senatorial candidates, senatorial hold-overs, state commit teemen and other leading Republi cans from every county in Oregon, has called a meeting of Republicans to be held in Portland September 26 for the purpose of adopting a set of principles telling the voters for what the party stands in the coming cam paign. Delegates to the meeting will con sist of all Republican legislative and senatorial candidates, and hold-over senators, state and congression com mitteemen, all Republican county chairman and vice chairmen, and all Republican county officers and Re publican candidates for county office. A committee was apointed at a meeeting held in Eugene Saturday to draft a set of resolutions for submis sion to the convention. Senator Bruce Dennis of La Grande was made chair man of the committee and any Repub lican having any suggestions of "planks" to offer, is invited to send the same to Mr. Dennis, but all such planks must be submitted before noon of September 25. Headquarters for the convention will be at the Imperial hotel and the place for holding the meetings will be announced through the press. This convention is the result of a trip through the state of the officers of the new Republican state central committee, Chairman Tooze and Sec retary C. E. Ingalls. They have visit ed every county in the state and or ganized the county committees. At a meeting held in Pendleton of eastern Oregon Republicans it was decided to hold a state wide meeting for the purpose of adopting a platform pro viding the plan met with the approval of the Republicans of the First and Third congressional districts. This meeeting was held at Eugene Satur day and the plan was unanimously approved. "I think it is very important," said chairman Tooze, "for the Republican party to have a platform upon which its state candidates should run. This will enable the Republicans of the state to know what they are voting for, and will fix definitely the respon sibility of the fulfilling of all promis es made to the people. As it ia now, there are 76 different platforms by as many different candidates and hence no organized responsibility. This in a large measure has been the cause of many unnecessary tax measures. We propose to hold the party responsible for legislation and we believe we will thereby get better legislation." The Eugene meeting was an enthu siastic one, delegates from every county pledging support to Governor Olcott in his campaign for reelection. The Governor was present and made an address at the evening banquet which was well spoken of by the dele gates present. He said he proposes to submit to the legislature a definite and consrtuctive plan for tax reduc tion and tax equalization and the plan will be the result of the ex haustive labors of the tax investiga tion committee which he appointed last winter. Pat Foley, proprietor of Hotel Pat rick, accompanied by his three child ren and his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Foley, drove into town Monday from La Grande. Mrs, T. J. Humphreys returned home from Hillsboro on Friday, ac companied by her son Roland. For several weeks past Mrs, Humphreys has been at the bedside of her mother who is an invalid. same AUTO CATV BR, Ford Caravan Here During the Rodeo Word was received this morning by the Latourell Auto company that the Ford Caravan will be in Heppner September 27, 28, 29 and SO, and will give demonstrations all three days of the Rodeo. The caravan, composed of gas-driven and tractor drawn farm implements, trucks and automobiles carries with it a 21-piece band and orchestra. The demonstra tions are of interest, not only to the farmers and others whose occupations necessitate the use of the machines, but also to the general public as well. An interesting feature of the caravan is a complete radio receiving set, which will be on display and will be thoroughly explained to anyone in terested. Daily radio concerts will be given. Mr. Latourell of the local company, has been in Portland and Pendleton this week completing arrangements for the appearance of the caravan in Heppner on these dates. Forest Fires Raging In South End County Large crews are working day and night combating forest fires, two of which are raging in the south end of the county. One, on Mallory creek is about 1500 acres in extent and is rapidly coming under control. The other, at the head of Rhea creek a few miles above the Hamilton ranch, is larger and according to the last word received here was still beyond the conrtol of the fighters. The timber is so dry now that it is a hard proposition to control a fire there, and much credit is due the for est service for the manner in which they have put men on the job against these two fires. Several car loads of men and supplies have gone out from here. Stephen Doak and family were in the city Saturday from their wheat farm out north of lone. This has been a pretty short season for the farmers in his neighborhood, yet Mr. j Doak ia optimistic and is preparing , to seed another large acreage for the J coming year.

The secretary of state, as an admin istrative official, has no authority to withhold from the bailota of the gen eral election in November the name of Charles Hail as an independent candidate for governor but under the present law the governor of the state would be inhibited from including Hall's name in the election procla mation in the event Hall received enough votes to elect him according to an opinion of Attorney General Van Winkle announced at Salem on the 15th inst. The opinon is an interpretation of the statute which provides that no candidate who is defeated in the pri maries can be a candidate at the en suing general election. Hall was de feated for nomination. When his cer tification of nomination as an inde pendent candidate by a recent assem bly in Portland reached the secretary of state the secretary asked the at torney general if his name should be placed on the ballot. Under the attorney general s ruling Hall has no legal right to run as an independent candidate. Should he re ceive a plurality of votes the gover nor is legally inhibited from pro claiming his election which would be equivalent to no election. Then, un der the law, the president of the sen ate would succeed him at the expira tion of the present governor's term. Returns Home to Corvallis. Irs. M. A.
