Some time ago the Central Labor

The committee replied thanking the
labor men for their assistance and de-
clared that they would thankfully re-
ceive any funds raised.

JUNK MAN INJURED
BY FRACTI0US HORSE

Jake Pearlman, a junk dealer 727
Banning street, received severe injuries
and decorations by being run over by
his horse yesterday morning at Twen-
ty-ninth street and Vermont avenue.
Pearlman had taken the bride off the
horse to allow it to drink. The animal
became frightened and jumped to one
side, striking Pearlman and knocking
him down. One wheel of the wagon
passed over the mans back.
The horse, which had started to run,
was stopped by Patrolman Hoover,
who knocked it down with pole and
seized the bride before it was able to
rise.
Pearlman was taken to the receiving
hospital, where his injuries were said
to be serious but not dangerous.

No Show Without sawdust
The next thing in order is an inhala-
tion of the aroma of sawdust. Every
well behaved circus possesses a large
supply of sawdust. 1t serves to intoxi-
cate the artists and acts upon old
worn-out performers the same as an
electric saddle on an old cob in a horse
race. After a proper indulgence take
your seat with the rest of the COM

novelties, acrobatic marvels, flying

noted Apollos of the rialto; novelties

not mentioned but a fraction of what
goes with Leo Youngworth, Heine

George Rouse and a few other show
men who have been getting together
day and night this bunch of talent.
Take everybodys, but above all don't
leave yourself at home.
Walter McCarty on horseback and
Clemantina Copperini are alone worth

comes that greatest of all features in

Concert Important Feature
If Mime. Patti were in this country
and should attend this concert she
could learn something of the art of
singing. Ed Kammermeyer and Pro-
fessor FrankenStein of the Orpheum
will introduce some musical novelties
that Broadway, New York, would give
much to have. The concert program is
a continued bunch of novelties and will
certainly leave a pleasing impression
on the minds of those who are present.
In fact, the entire Shrine sircus and all
it's adequate adjuncts may be recon-
mended as liberal education which 1t

YOUTHFUL TRIO

Police Believe They Have Brought
Perpetrators of Many Thefts to
Justice-Judge Delivers
Homily

Earl Kennedy, w. S. Chamberlain
and Fred Hoffman, the boys arrested
Monday night on a charge of petty
larceny, all received sentence yester-
day. S. Kennedy, the father of Earl,
who was arrested on the same charge,
pleaded not guilty. His trial was set
for April 5.
Earl was sentenced to ninety days
in the detention home. His friend
Hoffman was dismissed on three
months probation, while Chamberlain,
the oldest of the boys, was fined $40
with the alternative of forty days on
the chain gang. Unable to pay the
fine he will have to serve the sentence.
The elder Kennedy claims he had
nothing to do with the robbery of the
grocery store, with which they are
charged, and that he knew nothing of
it until the officers came to search the
house the night they were arrested.
Chamberlain lived with the Kennedy
family at 1856 Walnut street, although
he has a mother living on San Pedro
street.

FROM HEPP-
NER MINES
Effort to Get Coal from
Willow Greek Field.
The Plan Is to Engage Miners and
Freight the Coal Down to
Heppner.

That the fuel situation is a Sc
rious problem is realized by all.
Many people ara out of both
wood and coal in the city at the
present time and the matter of
getting supply even for summer
is not an easy task, while the
question Of getting a supply for
winter is anything but encourag-
ing.
Coal dealers report that they can
get no encouragement from any Of
the mines, and even if they could
get coal at the mines, to get cars
to transport it is doubtful.
A few cars are being shipped in
by private parties but it seems that
the man who is able to get car
was born under lucky star.
A small amount of mountain
wood is being hauled which goes
like hct cakes.
That there is a great coal field
of high quality coal within 20
miles of Heppner is we'll known
fact, but to get it here is the ques.
ton. A movement is now under
way to relieve the fuel shortage
by freighting coal from the Will
low creek coal mines. A mining
engineer has been written to and
the plan is to engage miners and
mine the coal and haul it down.
The first thing will be to ascertain
the number Of tons that can be
used and If possible the miners
will be put to work.

THROUGH
FOR SEASON
Government Stock Inspec-
tors Work Ended.
Morrow County Sheep in Good
Con dittOn.. 80 me Advice for
Future Reference.

DR.. Herbert Sherwood, the gov
ernment stock inspector, who hal
been in Morrow county this sea
son inspecting stock and superin.
tending the dipping of sheep, will
leave for Portland next Sunday
morning having completed his
work in this county for the season.
DR.. Sherwood came to Morrow
county on May IL. He has been
actiye in the discharge of his
duties since that time, having rid
den over $50 miles on horseback
in covering the county in inspec-
tion work.
He has passed upon over $50, 900
head of sheep all which have been
dipped with the exception of few
small pet bands. The doctor states
that Morrow county sheep are in
fine condition, there being very
little scab infection, considering
the large number of sheep in the
county. Only three or four bands
were found to be diseased.
In speaking of the care and
handling of sheep the inspector
stated that while there were many
sheds built in the proper manner
there are also lot of sheds that
are too low and unsanitery for the
lack of ventilation and proper
light.
He states that to get rid of dis
ease and keep clear of infection,
the sheep must be handled on san
tary principles. Sheds and cor
rails must be sprayed and kept
clean. Sheds should be built 80
that they can be plowed, and also
that there will be a good circula-
ton of pure air and plenty of light.
DR.. Sherwood states that he
would advise the mixing of sui
phur with salt as the sulphur is a
good disinfectant and will act as a |
preventative.
He says that when the scab is
once thoroughly eliminated there
will be no more trouble if the
sheep are handled on hygienic
principles.

CHEAP
VEHICLES
Look Out for Them in
Morrow County.
Fekirs are Now Operating ana
Making Big Profits by Sell.
Ing Inferior Goods.

The appearance OF the cheap
vehicle artists is good evidence O
the general prosperity of the
country, but even in the most
prosperous times the people do not
want to be fimfammed.
The cheap vehicle peddlers now
have headquarters in Heppner and
the outfit consists of at least three
people who are securing the
country in the attempt to sell
cheap buggies, hacks and wagons
at big price.
Evading the Law.
Under the law the county court
has the powerto license peddIers
and hawkers.
The county court of this county
has fixed the license at 5000. These
fakirs have 80 far eluded the pay
ment of this license, although they
are taking orders and have a car
load of fancy looking vehicles at
the depot at the present time.
Under a provision of the inter-
state commerce law, it is lawful
for solicitor to 60 in advance and
take orders and afterward ship the
articles to the individual purchas-
ers. The faklrs are trying to es
cape the payment of the 5000 Ii
cense through this loophole.
Got Leary of one sale.
A day or 30 ago a farmer from
Eight Mile bargained for buggy.
The price was $135 on time or
s115 for cash down. The farmer
came after the rig and paid the
sll5. Not being fully satisfied
with the smooth talk of the sales
man, the farmer commenced to
ivestigate and soon found that he
could get better buggy from Gill
liam & Bisbee for sl15.OO.
The fakir got leary of the deal
when he found that he was trapped |
md hunting up the farmer gave
aim his money back.
The fakirs are asking $3.50 for
wagons when Heppner dealers are
'elling better wagons for Sl25.
A hack was sold for S160 that
,ould be bought in Heppner for
S115.
The fakirs are at big expense
md making princely salaries, and
Consequently must get big prices.
t must all come from vehicles.
Payne Taxes.
Owing to a lame place in the law
hese fakirs by coming in after the I
.rst of March evade the payment
f just taxation. They blk the ]
eople, pay no part of our county
axes, being kind enough to i
cave the farmers and business !,
len to do this.
The Gazette submits few ques-
ions: {
Why did the fakir after selling {
buggy to a farmer hunt him up T
nd give him his money back? !,
Don't it look like something was
'rong? ?
Why do the fakirs jump the C
lxes, evade the licenses, making il
necessary for them to be under
lie eye of an officer during their ,
lort and profitable stay with US? u
Is it a safe plan to do business a
ith such people? IS
