MORROW COUNTY HAPPENINGS
Compiled From Last Issues of Hepp.
neP Papers.

Sheriff Shut received information
this week from the authorities at Port
land that j. c. Metcalf, a life insur-
ance agent, was wanted in that city
on a charge of adultery. Metcalf has
been at Teal Springs the past few
weeks, but is said to have left there
LAST week. presumably for Pendleton,
The town of Hardman was the
scene of a general mix-up and a free
for-all fight last Thursday. Wayne
Howard was fined on three different
charges which amounted to 800 ana
costs. n. X. Paul and George Bleak
man We're also fined for fighting.
Mr.. Royse is Just finishing a run
of 700 acres with his heading outfit,
cutting about 20 acres day for which
he gets s1.25 per acre. Mr.. Royse has
400 acres of wheat of his own which
he thinks will yield in the neighbor-
hood of Is bushels to the acre. He
will have about 700 acres of summer
fallow for this falls seeding.
Charles Earhart, of lone, was in the
city Saturday. Mr.. Earhart states
that his wheat will yield 10 bushels
to the acre. He says that some of the
wheat is turning out Is bushels to the
acre in the lone wheat belt. While
the yield will be short. lone people be.
lieve that they will have almost as
much wheat this year as last owing
to increased acreage.

Creamery was pronounced complete

ecutive committee to be transferred

Quered the yellow fever. We believe
that the words of General Leonard
Wood, spoken at the memorial service
in honor of DIR. Reed, are entirely JUS
titled; His discovery results in the
saving of more lives annually than
were lost In the Cuban war, and saves
the commercial interests of the worli
a greater financial loss in each year
than the cost of the entire Cuban
war"
What has the country done for the
men who. at the hazard OF their lives,
have done SO much for the country?
Nothing. The volunteers who offered
TO sacrifice their lives for future gem
erations have had no recognition. If
DIR. Reed had devoted to private prac-
tice the signal ability whic hhe gave
to the public, he would have left a
comfortable competence and perhaps
large fortune to his wife. As 1t
WAS, lie ltlt Her COHlpdTdllNely unprO-
vided for. A volunteer subscription
for a fund of s25,OO0, the income of
which would be devoted. to DR.. Reeds
widow and daughter during their lives
and the principal after their death to
n monument to his memory or to the
promotion of results in his special
field of work, has halted at $4,000.
There ought to be plenty OF private
contributors to complete this sub
scription.
And congress, which passes innu-
merable pension bills with but scant
consideration, would do well to make
a generous appropriation to this fund.
and provide at least medals to be
presented to the nameless heroes who
happily survived these terrible exper-
iments.

but that the young lady expected the

Be q Very Bad One.

the police several days ago on a

Gus thief and all-rOund crook. He

yid, Fla, who reached Mobile this
morning and visited the man In his

Sanders a man who stole horse and

at AtmOre, Ala.
In a letter TO Chief Rondau, Sher-
IN Brewton says that the man Is also

CHANGING TO GOLD COINAGE


Denver. Col. -- Francisco Valdos,
chief cOtncr of the Mexican govern
ment, has been Investigating the work
ings Of the Denver mint. and is report
ed 70 have made arrangements for the
local mint to coin $10, 900, 600 worth Of
pesos for the Mexican government. The
Philadelphia mint is now working on
an oruer for SIS, 000, 900 worth of pesos.
THE day of the silver standard is
passing said Mr.. Valdes, Our silver
peso is a thing of the past and the
death blow To the contentious of Will
liam Jennings Bryan is given with its
passing. Mexico was frequently point
ed 10 by Mr., Bryan as the country
which was always prosperous under a
silver standard. We are placing orders
for coming gold with the United States
and Great Britain because our minis
have not the working capacity. We are
making a radical change in our none
tary system, and to do so we have to
have large quantities of gold coin at
once 1t would require ten years Of
time to turn out all the gold coin we
need, and business would be distrupt-
ed"
Silver, the principal coin Of the Mex
lean government. will now be super
seeded by the gold coins. 5, 10 and 20
pesos. which are worth about $3.50, Sc
and $40 respectively in United States
gold coin. and by 10, 20 and so centavo
coins. The Philadelphia mint is now
workitg to coin 1000. 600 5-peso pieces.
This means that $3.50 0 900 in gold is
being turned into specie.
