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.

"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.

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

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

Meeting to be September

Delegation
PARTY RESPONSIBLE
Effort to be Made to Secure Organized
Agreement of Real State
Economic Issues
CORVALLIS, Or., Sept 11. (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.

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.
Mrs. Maude Pointer of Lexington
was in Heppner on Thursday and
made this office a pleasant call. Mrs.

IF
ELECTED GHO
Attorney General Saya He Could Not
Be Declared Elected ky Governor.
Can Rasv Bat Can't Win.
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.
