BALL CAME i' 1 r Attorney Van Vactor of Hepp ner. was the Orator of the Day More Than IOOO Guests Royally Entertained. It la expressing It mildly tof Vay ' that IonVa celebration Monday wm a grand success, a large number of tbe bus iness house and residence were gaily decorated in tbe national colon, and tbe city In general presented an attractive appearance. At tbe entrance of a principal itreet a Urge arch bearing the words "Welcome" spanned the street, and at the lower end of this street very large pavilion afforded ample shade for tbe large gathering. The Heppner train, though a little behind schedule time, arrived in good season shortly after 10 a. m., just about tbe time the rain ceased falling which made the da; a very pleasant one for the celebration. No oppressive beat or dust to mar the pleasures of the day, Tbe lone band met the Heppner train at the station, and under sweet strains, marched the large throng of people to the pavillion, where the forenoon pro gram waa rendered, consisting of mnsic, prayer, and speeches. The exercises were opened with patriotic selection by the band, followed with a prayer by Rev. Jones. After selection by a select choir T. J. Ma- honey welcomed the visitors to the city ine declaration 01 independence waa read by Miss Jessie Davis, and after ae lection by the band and choir, Ad diaon Bennett, editor of the Irrigon Irrigator, delivered a brief and pointed address on "The Future Developement of Morrow County." Attorney S. . Van Vactor, the orator of tbe day, was then introduced by T. J. Mahoney. Although brief, Mr. Van Vactor made an eloquent address, which waa well received. This concluded tbe forenoon program. The Ball Game The afternoon program consisted of a ball game between the Irrigon and lone teams, the baby show, a horse race and foot race. Tbe ball game proved a very interr ing feature. Irrigon waa the first at bat but failed to make a score, lone making 4 runa in the last half of the first Inning. In the second, however, Irrigon rallied aomewbat and got in two runs white Iona failed to make a tally. In the third Irrigon waa again goose- egged while lone made one run. In tbe fourth each team scored 2 runs, tbe game standing 7 to 4 in favor of lone at the end of the inning. By this time the lone boy bad tbeir opponents going and they could never recover, not be ing able to make a tally tbe remainder of the game, w bile lone scored two in the Gth and four in tbe 7th. Tom Briorly umpired the game and hia decision gave general satisfaction. The fielding of both teams waa little raw at times, but the lone team made fewer errors and seemed to have Irrigon outclassed at every point, Following la tbe score by Innings: IrriKon, . .0 2 0 2 0 0 0 04 Ion A 0 1 2 0 2 4 0-13 The Raoea. Immediately at the close of the ball game a borse race was announced, There were five entries for the race, Mamie 8. first and Master Bishop second. Both horses are owned by Charles 8 perry of lone. In the foot races, of which there were a number, we we did not learn the the names of the winners. There waa a little girts race, a boys race, a man'a race and a fat man's race. The baby ahow was quite an attract ion, several being in line for the prizes, but we did not learn the names of the winners. There doubtless waa more than 1000 people at tbe celebration, and we must say that much credit ia due lone for the manner in which ahe treated ber gueata. There was perhaps 200 or more Heppner people present, half a many from Lexington, beside scores from most every section of tbe county, all of whom spoke very pleasantly of the un tiring efforts of lone to give them a plasantday. HE llll US Big Crops in Morrow County Now A Certainty. BARLEY CROP HARYESTED WRITES BOGUS CHECKS Frank P. Wellman, of Hamilton Arrested and Bound Over. Frank P. Wellman, a yonng married man, wbo resides at tbe home of hia wife's parents near Hamilton, was arrested one day last week by deputy snenn Bonfcro, ol lxng Ureek, on a warrant issued out out of the court of Justice of the Peace J. W. Mack, of Prairie City, charging him with the crime of obtaining money nnder false pre' tense. To the charge Wellman did not plead, but waived examination and was held by Justice Msck to appear before the grandjury in the sum of $100 bonds. Failing to secure bonds in Prairie City he waa brought here by Deputy Sheriff Bonham to be placed in jail, but fortun ately found a bondsman here and was released. Wellman is a good set ibe, and when broke, aa be usually is, he draws checks on tbe First National Bank of Heppner, in which instution, so ita cashier says, he bas bad no money for a long, long time. A number of timea he has "dog up" to save prosecution. Wellman claims to be a hypnotist and waa in this part of the country last witer giving exhibitions and writing checks when broke. He taught a few terms of school in the north part of the county a faw year back, bat the work was too hard and too legitimate and be quit teaching. Canyon City Eagle. Just at the Time Farmers Were Beginning to Think Crops Wauld be Cut Short for Lack of Rain It Falls Abundantly. The rains of the past week are worth many dollars to Morrow county farmers. It insures a full crop of apring grain beside it will make the fall wheat fill, and the farmers now have no fears on account of drouth or hot winds, the season for the latter having past and it is generally conceded by farmers from all parte of the country that there ia sufficient moisture to make the wheat crop. Barley is a good yield, most of which is in the stack ready for the thresher. . The first alfalfa and the grain hay crop ia very heavy, and tbe second alfalfa crop will be good, unless it is in a few localities where grasshoppers destroy it. From every part of tbe county reports say there never bas been so rank a growth of wheat. Tbe wheat stands thicker on the ground, the heads are longer and filled better than ever be fore. Beside the acreage ia much greater than ever before. Since the late raina the Morrow county crop is estimated at 2,000,000 bushels, and certainly the indication are that it will not fall very much short of that amount. To Consolidate Land Offices Now that the new federal building for Baker City is assured, it is highly probable, according to advices direct from Washington, that the Burnes and La Grande land offises will soon be con solidated and located in tbe new govern ment building at that place, in order to concentrate the business of the govern' ment and also to economize on ex penses. . The movement to merge the Oregon City and Tbe Dalles land offices in Port land ia a forerunner of this important step, and it seems only a question of few months until Baker City will be headquarters for all the vacant land in Eastern Oregon. One vital reason for this movement on the par of the government ia the fact that the vacant areas of government land in Eastern Oregon ia now reduced to very small amount, compared to the amount at the formation of the land office districts, and the extra expense of office rents and aalaries for extra receivers and registers can be logically dispensed with, by tbia consolidation, The federal building at Baker City will be occupied by tbe poatoffice and the land office, and a possible assay office. Irrigation Congress Tbe date of the next meeting of the National Irrigation association has been fixed at El Paso, Texas, on Tuesday November 15 to Friday, November 18, and official noticea of the meeting have been gent out by the executive com mittee. Owing to the great activity in gov- ernment irrigation, this meeting of the association ia expected to be the most important In tne history of tbe organ- isation. The action of the association in the past has had much to do with shaping the policy of tbe national government In the matter of irrigation, and, in fact, the national irrigation law was framed and revised by the committee from this association. Sunday's Storm. A very heavy rain visited the moun tain district of Morrow county last Sun day afternoon. Both Willow and Rhea creek were swolen out of their banks up towards their sources, and along the valleys of both streams considerable damage was done to hay crops. Tbe Penland Livestock Company was , probably the largest losers, aa they lost large quantity of alfalfa and grain hay on Skinner creek and Balm 'Fork. At their headquarters they lost some hay, few amall pigs and one end of the barn waa slightly wrecked. Geo. French, who has a large hay crop on the Tbos. Quaid p'ace on Balm Fork, is also quite a heavy loser. 'Claud Her ren also sustained some loss on the same creek. On upper Rbea creek considerable damage to crops is reported. We under stand that J. M. Hayes, Henry Gay, Crocket Kirk and Bob Hart sustained a considerable loss of bay which waa cut and yet remained in the field. The bridge above J. R. Nunna- maker's, known as the Rhea creek bridge, went out. But the spring freshet so undermined one of tbe buttmenta that tbe end dropped down so that an over high water waa not required to take it ont. Towards the foot hills the valley of both streams are not very wide and the excessive rains caused tbe streams to overflow their banks, while lower down neitheir ran bank full. Considerable damage to roads from washout ia al o reported. Big Shipment of Horses. C. M. Clay, the horse bayer, shipped from the Heppner yards Tuesday morn ing nine carloads of horses, which he bad bought up in Grant county, in the vicinity of Dayville. The horses were drove in Sunday, but were held in the yards until Tuesday morning owing to delay in getting cars. Tbe horses were shipped to St. Louis. To District Clerks.
