left a favorable impreision upon the
audience.
Hon. G. W. Phelps followed Mr.
Currin. Mr. Fhelps gave some good
reasons, in our way of reasoning, why
he should be favored for the position
of district attorney. First because
Morrow county is clearily entitled to
the office at this time, and secondly be
cause Mr. Phelps is in a position to de
vote more time to the duties of the
office than his opponent.
The next to take the stand was County
Clerk Vawter Crawford, who is loo well
known to need any comments. Mr.
wlord spoke very briefly, promising
a con tin nation of his past record of
which all are familiar.
Sheriff Bhutt followed Mr. Crawford.
In a short and timely talk Mr. Shutt
outlined bis policy by reiterating hie
promiies of t o years ago. These prom
ises the voters of Morrow county know
he has fully carried out consciecioualy,
fearlessly and without hiss. His record
for law and order as well as that of tax
collector is a creditable one and speaks
volumes for his energy and efficiency.
W. 8. Connor the nominee tor assess
or, promised his best efforts in equit
able assessments. Mr. Connor is thoro
ughly capable and will be a safe man
for the position.
. Jay Merrill, for school superinten
dent gave a good talk along educational
lines, leaving a fovorable impression
upon his audience.
M. Lichtenthc), candidate for treas
ure, mads a very pertinent speech,
stating the finincial conditions of the
county in concise manner. Every body
knows that Mat has been a careful and
efficient officer and he is assured a big
vote.

through its harbor where fly the flags of
many nations. The twelve miles on
the Williamette river are quickly made,
and, after saluting the government light
house, making the junction of the two
rivers, the boat swings into the Colum
bia for the trip down stream. The morn
ing is clear (generally so from Jane un
til September), and magnificent and in
spiring sight meets the eye as the sweep
around the bend is made five snow
capped peaks, Mount Hood, Mount
Adams, Mount Saint Helen, Mount
Rainier and Mount Jefferson, looming
into view a sight' worth traveling
thousands of miles to see. On down the
picturesque river, paat villages, saw

perpendicular basaltic bluffs, and pretty
side-hill farms, the boat pursues its way.
ibe majestic sweep of the nver is awe
inspiring. Gradually the shores grow
farther apart and, scarcely realizing
that the five hours have been consumed
in making the trip, the boat steams
alongside the wharf at Astoria.

Move to Improve and Beau

BRILLIANT PIANO RECITAL
Eight Mile Correspondent Re
ports Crops In Good Con
dition, But Weather Little
Cool for Rapid Growth.
Geo. Conser has took the initiave in a
move to provide a water system for the
Heppner cemetery, to improve and
beautify it in many ways. Mr. Conser'a
plan, which seems to be the better oner
is to build a reservoir Into which water
can be pumped from the power plant at
rate of about 14 cent per 1000 gallons,
which is considered cheaper than taking
it from Balm Fork, and from that source
it is very probable the supply would
be inadequate.
The reservoir, pipe, other material and
work will necessitate an expenditure of
about f 1200. Of this amount $760 has
already been subscribed, leaving a
balance of between $400 and 500 yet to
be raised in 'order that the work may
proceed. It is earnestly requested that
all who are interested in the beautify
ing and improving of the cemetery will
subscribe as liberally as they deem it
ustifyable towards the cemetery fund
that the work can be commenced at
once. Contributions for this purpose
will be received at the bank by Mr.
Conser, who will fully explain the plans
and contemplated improvements.
Piano Recital.
The piano recital, given by Mrs.
Beatrice Dierke in Roberts' opera house
Friday evening last, was fairly well at
tended and was a rare musical treat for
those present. Mrs. Dierke is a pianist
of extraordinary ability and the grace
and ease with which she manipulated
the keys won for her the admiration of
ber entire audience. Her selections
were well taken, seeming to strike a
popular cord with ber hearers.
Should Mrs. Dierke again appear in
Heppner it is safe- to predict that she
would be greeted by an 'overflowing
house. .

A few timely remarks by Mayor 8. E.
Notsn of Lexington concluded the
speech making, and after a patriotic
selection by the Lexington band the
congregation was dismissed.
The meeting, at Heppner Tuesday
evening was a very largely attended,
Rolerla' hall being comfortably seated
with an attentive audience, although
the evening was rather disagreeable on
account of the downpour of rain.
The meeting was called to order by
Chairman Freeland and speech making

insects are found. The thermometer

EIGHT MILE.
A. W. Saling's children have the
hooping cough.
Cattle have about all been sent to the
mountains to summer range. .
Crops of all kindsare growing slowly on
account of the continued cold weather.
Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Jones left Satur
day for the Irrigon country 'on a visit for
few days. ;
Geo. J. Curren republican candidate
for county judge was interviewing Eight
Mile voters Thursday.
Chas. Houston, got a bad lick from a
post sledge Friday, that rendered him
unconscious for a time.
W. W. Brannan, the biggest fheep
owner on upper Eight Mile has taken
his sheep to the mountains for summer
range.
A good warm rain would come in
handy about now, it would help plow
ing and a few other things not mentioned
in the political platform.
C. E. Jones has planted five acres In
bis famous Mercer corn. It strikes us
bat the weather is a little bit cool for
corn to jerminate, but C. E. says tbia
corn would grow in Alaska.
Some fields of spring grain have been
damaged by wire worms, ' a rain and
warm weather is the remedy. Just try it
and see, better try it on your neighbors
field though first, it might not be just
the right treatment for yours.
C. E. Jones' children have the whoop
ing cough. This seems to be quite a
fad In this part of the country, and.
there is being lots of good grub wasted.

Beat Cough Madlotn for Children.
When you buy a cough medicine for
small children you want one In which
you can place Implicit confidence. You
want one that not only relieves but
cures. You want one that is unquestion
ably harmless. You want one that is
pleasant to take. Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy meets all of these condition.
There Is nothing so good for the coughs
and colds incident to childhood. It is
also a certain preventive and cure for
croup, and there is no danger whatever
from whooping cough when it la given.
It has been used in many epidemics of
that disease with perfect success. For
