II Walla With Hantini Party la Moun tains PramiRcnt Heppner Cltlxea Received Wound From High Power Rifle. Dies In Portend Taesdsy. By the .accidental discharge of a tiijfh power rifle while in camp on Penland prairie, about SO miles south eait of Heppner on Sunday, W. 0. Minor, prominent pioneer resident of thit city, received a wound from which he died at Good Samaritan hospital in Portland early Tuesday morning.- ; With a party of hunters composed of Judge W. T. Campbell, Wiilard Herren and W. 0. McCarty, Mr. Minor was deer hunting in the vicinity of Penland prairie. . Tha party had re turned to camp after getting a deer, and Mr. Minor and Mr. Herren stood their guns up against a tree, not tak ing the precaution to unload them. One of the guns, belonging to Mr. Herren, was a hammerless Savega, and when putting the gun down, Mr. Herren put on the safety device. The party went on and had their dinner and were sitting about the camp rest ing, their backs to the tree where the guns were standing, but soma 60 or 60 feet away and oa higher ground. Mr. Minor was sitting next to Mr. Herren when suddeny there was a discharge of a gun, and thinking someone near the camp had taken a shot at something, Mr, Herren turned about and at the same-time Mr. Minor excalmed, "I am shot," and pitched forwiird. Mr. Herren noted that his dog was just leaving the tree where the guns were placed, and his gun was 1 lying on the ground, examination of the weapon revealing that It had been fired when it struck the ground in the fall. The bullet had passed through about 18 inches of dirt, was deflected and raised sufficiently to strike Mr. Minor In tha right shoulder. All attention was directed to the' wounded man, and all aid waa given him that it was possible to render, and he waa hurried to Heppner. On the way in they telephoned to Hepp ner for a doctor and Dr. McMurdo met them several miles up the creek, but waited until Mr. Minor reached home before an examination was made. Mr. Minor suffered great pain and nausea all Sunday night, but on Monday appeared to be somewhat bet ter, but it was Impossible to locate the bullet, which waa a soft-nosed cart ridge from a SOS-calibre rifle, and an X-ray examination would be neces sary Mr. Minor failed to show symptoms of improving later Monday afternoon and he was takes to Portland, Dr. McMurdo and Mrs. Minor accompany ing him. The engine and baggage ear on the branch line was secured and left Heppner at 8:00 p. m, catching No. 23 at the junction. The injured ma was taken at once to Good Sa maritan hospital upon reaching Port land, but died just after being placed on the operating table. An X-ray ex amination revealed the course of the bullet, which struck Mr. Minor in the shoulder and ranged downward, lodg ing near the heart The attending physicians announced that there was no chance whatever of saving the life of the injured man. Some mystery attaches to the dis charge of the rifle, but Mr. Herren is of the opinion that the gun was pushed over by the dog rubbing against it. The safety was on, but this device seems to be defective and doea not prevent the discharging of the weapon when it is dropped to the ground. A demonstration of thla was made on Monday by Mr. Herren Judge Campbell and Ralph Benge. Tha safe ty was put on, ths gun allowed to fall on the ground three times in succes sion, and it discharged every time. The remains of Mr. Minor arrived from Portland last evening and the funeral was held from L 0. 0. F. hall today at 2:00, being very largely at tended by people from all over the county, as Mr. Minor waa one of the highly esteemed pioneers of this sec tion. Rev. W. 0. Livingstone deliv ered the funeral address and burial was in Masonic cemetery. William Oscar Minor waa born in Linn county, Iowa, near the present city of Cedar Rapids, on August 7, 1SG0, and died in Portland, Oregon, on October 17, 1922, aged 68 years, 2 months and 10 days. At the age of five years, he crossed the plaina with his parents, Ellis and Ann Minor, In a company numbering about forty families, using horse- and mule-teams and consuming about six months In msking the journey. They settled at Waconda In Marion county, where the family remained until 1871, when they came to this section, known then as Umatilla county, and aettled on Rhea creek. Living there for Ave years, tha family then removed to Heppner, at the time not more than a trading point, and Mr. Minor has had his residence here continuously ever since. When but a mere lad, he invested his entire capital not a large sum, in a business venture, a tobacco and con fectionery store, and from this devel oped the general merchandising es tablishment of Minor A Co. He hsd as partners at various times Taylor Dodson, M. C. McDougal, C. A. Minor, Won. Johnson, M. D. Clark and W. R. Irwin, and while he was successful in merchandising, his great pride was the raising of fine stock and for many years he owned the prise herd of shorthorns In the Northwest, and became an expert in thla line, the stock from Mountain Valley Stock Farm at Heppner being known and purchased tha entire country over. Ha retired from active business a few years ago, but has not been an idle man by any means, as ha gave up -much of his time to the welfare of his town and county. It is said by one, writing of Mr. Minor, that ha had a brilliant careor. "We aay 'brilliant' because we do not know of any other word that ax presses it so well as that one; while he has not gained fame as a warrior, or notoriety as a politician, nor yet distinction as an operator of some ' world-wide enterprise, to all of which classes the world bows down to do homage without stint he haa done more. Right here within the precincts of Morrow county he haa wrought with his own hands and brain place, Ruth Chapter 0. E. S.

Heppner's score was made in the first quarter by Clyde Witeraft'a touchdown. The teams are about evenly matched and it waa a decidedly hard fought game.

From there they were escorted down to the basement, the journey being enlivened by terrible shrieks from the chamber of tortures where the Frosh were being initiated. The basement waa beautifully decorated with Autumn leaves and other things suggestive of harvest time. It was a rustic party and everyone dressed aa a amall town character. The green noses of the Frosh and the various other painted decorations oh their countenances added te their appear ance. Alvin Boyd and Frances Parker were elected king and queen of the harvest because of their unique cos tumes. The evening was spent in sppll and cracker races, nut hunts, and candy string races.

It a fortune and a name quite commen surate with the classes named above, when we consider that he started with his bare hands, his entire operations being on the principle of justice and fairness, wherein neither cajolery nor trickery have found a place." Mr. Minor waa married to Miss Halle Stanley September 80, 1888, and to them two children were born, Leah D now Mrs. George Cook, of Belling- hame, Wash,, and Stanley of Heppner, who, with the widow, survive. He was an honored and useful cltl en In this community and his tragic death comes as a severe shock to all. It will be hard to fill the place made vacant by his going, CLAJiM DF MR. PIERCE lE-EITIIPLEi If Elected Governor It Would Be Im possible for Bins to Make Good Oa Promises of Reducing Taxes 51 Per Cent Walter Pierce, democratic candi date for Governor, has succeeded In creating the impression that if elect ed governor he can cut taxes in two. The claim that he can reduce taxes 50 per cent is simply a vote-catching ex travagance upon which to rido into ofhee. Let us see how much a gov ernor haa to do with Morrow euuuty taxes. The total amount levied on Morrow county property this year la $4.50,377. Of this 76ft per cent waa levied by county and local authorities for pub lie schools, roads, city and town pur poses, including the irrigation dis trict tax of 229,073. How eould any governor cut thia local part of the tax bill in two? Reduction of these Iocs! taxes Is up to the voters in the local districts When corn red, Mr. Pierce admits his 50 per eent tax eut promise is in tended to apply to state taxes only. Let us see how this works out in Morrow county. Only 2314 per eent of all Morrow county taxes this year were state taxes for soldiers' bonus iVt percent for market roads 2ii percent, for state aid to elementary schools 6 per cent and for state higher educational purposes 7 percent the latter includ ing the educational aid to the soldiers and sailors, aa well as all the millage bills and appropriations for Oregon Agricultural College and University of Oregon. Senator Pierce introduced several of these tax measures and supported all of them Which ones will he eut out? The balance of the state tax, 6 percent of the total Morrow tax bill, goes mainly to aupport institutions caring for the insane and other afflict ed, besides psying expenses of state government Even if Mr. Pierce cuts this amount in two he would reduce Morrow county's tax billa only 3 per cent; yet even this amount eould not be cut in two without turning Insane, feeble minded, orphans and other de pendents, out upon the public for charity. ' The claim that taxes can be reduced 50 percent or any other substantial amount by a governor or through his influence, is so preposterous that it is obviously intended only for campaign purposes. The problem of taxation is mainly a local one, up to the people of the various taxing districts. Of the total tax bill of Oregon this year, 340,473,906, only 23 percent or 39,373,3756, was levied aa state taxes. This amount included soldiers' bonus millage necessary for soldiers' loan bond redemption, market road mill age, millage for state aid to elemen tary schools and all the millage and appropriations for state educational institutions, including the soldiers' educational aid. ' Only 32,514,080, or 6 percent of all taxea paid in Oregon thia year, were for general state purposes outside of roads and education, while 94 percent were taxes voted by the people of the state, or of local taxing districts, or for purely local expenses under con trol of the people of each county and locality As State Senator, Mr. Pierce in troduced more billa than any other member of the kind that increases taxes. He voted for practically every appropriation and millage bill that came up and has caused high taxes by his bills and votes more then any other-member of the legislature in the state of Oregon in 20 years.

State Income Tax Stimulate Extravagance 35,000,00 More Raiaed by the State and the Gang Will be Waiting at the State House Gstea to Take ths Money. Tax revision advocates assert that the proposed state income tax in Utah and Oregon will develop revenue from new sources and will result in re duction of general property taxes. Revenue from new sources has a seductive sound to the property own er, as it suggests that the fellow who has escaped hia just share of the bur den is to be brought to lew. The idea is piquantly flavored with the state ment that "professional men of large income, who live in hotels or apart ments, own no property and pay no taxes, will be forced to contribute." The fact is, as all who have made even a casual inquiry well know, that the bulk of income tax revenue comes and will continue to come from own ers of physical property. With few exceptions, those who are now carry ing the heaviest tax burdens must al so assume the further burden of an income tax if ths law is enacted. This is not only the fact, but the logical fact, aa the same abilities and traits that produce taxable incomes also naturally lead, to the acqusition of physical property. It is a reasonable conclusion that the revenue to bs obtained through a state income tax from sources not now paying taxes is inconsiderable, and that those now paying the pro perty taxes will pay most of the in come taxes. The proposition, that an income tax will result in reduction of property taxes is a fallacy. Unless the machinery which will reduce property taxes be sqt in work ing order before the income tax is applied property taxes will not come down. It has been demonstrated a gain and again that the provison of additional revenue does not result in reduction of taxes. Legislatures and other public bo dies always find ways to absorb the greater revenue. It is like increasing (he allowance of a spendthrift to teach him economy, What the people really desire is less in the way of experimental legislation and more in the way of concrete accomplishment along the line of tax reduction through elim nation of the waste and frills in ad ministration of public affairs. Leg islation that will compel economy is the sort of platform the people are awaiting from legislative candidates and others who seek tha favor of voters. The Manufacturer. S. W.

One baby waa born while its young mother was standing in line unwilling to give up her place even for the birth of her first child. "Turkish soldiers systematically rob the refugees, wrenching rings from the women's fingers. The quiet of ths night is disturbed by pearcing cries from young women and girls who are being taken by Turkish sol diers. They desist from their crimes only when the searchlights from American battleships are turned on them."

Capital Journal. Phillip Mahoney Injured By Accidental Shooting While in the vicinity of Lexington, hunting, on Wednesday forenoon, Phillip Mahoney, son of W. P. Ma honey, csshier of the First National Bank, was severely injured by the ac cidental discharge of a shotgun he was using while after pheasants. He was accompained by Ray Mc Duffee, Keith Logan and Paul Aiken in the McDuffee car. When alight ing from the car in some manner the gun was discharged and Phillip caught the bulk of the load in his right arm. the greater portion of the heavy muscle between the elbow and shoulder being torn in shreds, while a few stray shot hit other parts of the body. He was immediately rushed to town and taken at once to the office of Dr. Chick where his injuries were attended to, and at last reports he was getting along all right It is feared that he may suffer a pretty stiff arm as a result of this exper ience, but the wounds may heal in such a manner as to restore the de stroyed flesh again. Just how the gun was discharged Is somewhat of a mystery to the boys, but it may have happened from drop ping it to the ground too heavily.
