MTERESTIKti! 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.

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.
