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,

HEPPNER HIGH LIFE
The school students are having a
three day vacation this week on ac
count of Teachers' Institute.
The Arlington and Heppner foot
ball teams clashed at Arlington Sat
Oct. 14, Arlington being victorioua
with a score of 7 6. 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.
In spite of the fact that some of our
men were disabled, our team cer
tainly covered themselves with glory
and we are very proud of them.
The Patron-Teachers Association
held their regular monthly meeting
Tuesday, October 10. This year in
stead of awarding a picture to the

for books which at ths end of the year
will go into the school library. This
month it was won by ths fourth
grade.
Friday, October 13, the upper class
men entertained the Freshmen at a
party. Ghostly guides attired in
sheets met the guests at the door
and conducted them to the wraps
room. 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. After re
freshments consisting of pumpkin
pie, doughnuts and apple cider, the
guests departed, feeling that it had
been a' very successful party in spite
of the fact that it was given on Fri

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.

- The resignation of A. H. Lea as
secretary of the state fair waa ac
cepted by the fair board at a meet-'
ing here Saturday afternoon. Mrs.
Ells Wilson for several years assis
tant to Lea was named acting secre
tary and placed in temporary charge
of the board's affairs pending the
appointment of a permanent secre
tary to succeed Lea. This appoint
ment will probably be made at the an
nual meeting in January it was stated
by James Linn, president of the fair
board. Although members of ths fair
board refuse to discuss Lea's pos
sible successor it is rumored that
H. C. Browne, a member of the board,
is in a receptive mood and has strong
support for the position from his
fellow board members.
Lea's resignation waa handed to
the. board on the last day of the fair
two weeks 'ago with a request that
it be made effective immediately, and
followed a long period of inharmony
between the secretary and the board.
The fair board refused to let Lea out
at the time, informing him that he
was an employe of the fair and as
such would be expected to complete
the work in hand wind up the affairs
of this year's fair and present his
report before his resignation could

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.

for Heppner, to take place on a date
to be announced a little later. Plans
for this are being worked out snd all
