wallowa County Fair.

Editor News Record: The fair COM
missioners. Mr.. Mcdaniel and Mr.. Pace,
have designated Wallowa as the place
for holding the county fair this year,
and this selection was duly approved at
the term of the county court just closed.
1t is to be hoped that everyone who
has the interest of the whole county
OF heart will do what they can in the
way of saving their best products, and
in their personal attendance to make
this fair a grand success. The fact
should be made prominent that this
fair is not confined to any locality but
is for the whole county. The state will
donate $500 for premiums, and the
people of Wallowa will do their full
part towards making everyone welcome
and providing all necessary conven-
fences for exhibitors. By next Octo-
berthe time OF holding the fair-the
railroad will be in, and settlors will be
pouring into the county. We want
something to show them that will be a
convincing argument for them to locate
here. For this purpose there is nothing
to compare with an exhibition Of fruits,
vegetables, live stock and other prod.
ucts such as Wahowa county can put
forth. We can even surprise ourselves
along this line if we all pull together
Let us keep this fair in mind, save the
best Of everything to take to it, ard il
will be good thing for Wallows
county.

Grouse, Jan. 2S-We stand 20 per
cent against liquor and pistols in Grouse
precinct There are many evils We
have to contend with but two that
cause more trouble and sorrow than al
the others combined are liquor and
pistols. They invariably go hand in
hand. The liquor makes fools of men
and the pistol is brought into use IT,
defend ''honor" (?) and for "self-
defense"
The liquor traffic is being rapid cut
down and will ere long be run out of
the state; illegal IL affic will figure large
ly for some years to come, for we have
degraded set OF people that know and
care nothing for law and order.
A young man that has no higher
ambition than to place bottle OF
liquor in one pocket and pistol in
another, is indeed in pitiable condi-
ton, but how is the condition to be
remedied? That is the question; who
can best solve it?
The pistol carrier always gets off
lightly in the cor rts. A small fine sets
him free and he continues to carry his
weapon of defense. Would large fine
and course in the penitentiary be a
any good? If troubles ever come about
the pistol seems to be at hand and on
the spur Of the moment the carrier bt .
comes murderer, aud often with only
slight provocatir II.
The ungovernable temper often has a
part in trouble brought about by liquor,
A high tempered man should never
allow himself to be armed With q
deadly weapon.
Liquor excites the temper and de.
thrones reason and man is then ready
for anything mean The pistol carrier
aud the liquor vender and drunkard
are dangerous people and should be
confined to narrow limitsA
It's monster evil in any comm unity
and its travelling companion, the pistol,
always adls horror to its work.
Why should an honest, upright man
go walking ate ut with pistol in his
pocketf All, such men do not carry
them. Brave men never carry pistols
in the ordinary walks Of life. They
have nobler aspirations, Neither do
brave and noble men carry bottles OF
| whisky in their pockets. These wbis-
ky and pistol carriers viii eventually
come to some bad end.
Tho write has had but little to say Of
the barkeeper and his work. Suffice il
to say that of all men he must be the
most miserable, II he ever stops long
enough TO contemplate what he is do
ing. He Is sending out death and de-
bauchery In every place he can reach,
He is taking bread and meat from
thousands Of helpless children and suf-
ierine them to grow mp in ignorance and
disgrace.
