MAKING IMPOR
TANT CHANGES.
DistrictFair Getting Ready
for Big Crowds.

In order to accomodate the large
crowds which are expected to be in
Pendleton during fair week this
fall, the Third Eastern Oregon
District Agricultural Society is
planning extensive changes in its
pavilion. These changes include
Improvements in the entrance, in
the platform, booths and seating
Accommodations.
Instead ofthe two little gateways
for entrance and exit, there will be
one large royal arch at the corner
of the pavilion, on each side of
which will be the ticket windows
This arrangement will not only
greatly improve the exterior appear
ances but will do much towards
facilitating the handling of the
crowds.
The large music shell will be
moved back against the wall and
a platform extended out from it
for speakers and vaudeville per-
formers. The Umatllla county
booth which has heretofore occu-
pied central position in the rear
of the pavilion will be moved to
one side, thus increasing the seat
ing and standing room for the
visitors. Additional seats will be
constructed and everything done
for the comfort of the many who
will be present during the after
Moons and evenings.

Dog POiSoner Busy .

On Thursday morning last the
people OF Heppner were reminded
Of the periodical visit of the dog
poison er From Dennis McNamee's
corner up to the Brewery saloon
there was stretched some half doz-
en- CANNES, victims of strychnine
or some other deadly poison. Sam
Hughes little pet dog was among
the slain and perhaps some of the
other dogs were valuable. 1t is a
good thing to get rid of the over
supply of dogs that seem to &C
cumulste about town III the course
of the year, but putting out poison
promiscuously is not the best way
to do it. We have an ordinance
that provides for getting rid of
ownerless dogs and the law should
be allowed to take its course; tho
we admit that there are many
times that we should be glad to
discharge the contents of a double
barrelled shotgun in the midst of

But just the same this poison busi-
ness should be cut out; it is caus-
ng the innocent to suffer as well
as the guilty.

Henry Blahm showed us samples
of his bluestem wheat Tuesday.
He has in 160 acres on the hill
hack of his house and it will easily
make him a yield of 20 bushels to
the acre. He also had some fine
samples of the wheat grown down
near the creek that he expects to
cut for hay. This stands from four
to FIVE feet high and will yield
heavily.

Entitled to Much Credit.

@. N. Pentacost departed Satur-
day for his home at Walla Walla,
taking with him the rig and camp
ing outfit belonging to the Tiptons.
On the way he will gather up the
bunch of horses belonging to him
and take them home. Mr.. Penta-
cost is certainly entitled to a good
deal of credit for the way in which
he trailed up these thieves, and for
his pluck In staying on the job and
getting them run in. He certainly
took pretty desperate chances and
jeopardized his life in camping on
their trail, but he ls made of the
right kind of stuff and did not pro-
pose to let these people get away
with his property after he had
located them, even if he found it
necessary to do some shooting.
He was glad, however, that there
was no bloodshed, and he also
praises the promptness of Sheriff
Hayes in getting onto the ground
when he had been informed of the
cornering of the thieves. No doubt
our sheriff would have been after

Of the county. 1t was a good job

and enjoy the day with us, greeting
old friends and share our picnic

Our reunions In the past have
been most pleasant and much en-
joyed by the former residents OF
Morrow county residing in and
around Portland.
Last year we formed permanent
organization with Mr.. W. L. Mallory
as president, Mrs. J. N. Brown,
secretary and Mrs. S. P. Garrigues,
treasurer, and we expect our reunion
this year to be the best we have
had.
We want our friends over in the
home county to write us letter or
a card of greeting to be read at the
reunion; we hope to have hundred
or more such letters or cards. We
want to make this permanent fea-

will add more to our pleasure that
day than the letters from our
friends at home. Address all such
letters to me at SO East Seventh
Street, Portland, Oregon.
We will send you account of re-
union later.

papers in the case were received by
the clerk of the Circuit Court here late
YESTERDAY. and will be formally filed

Morse contends that the court should
FIX his status as a prisoner under a
ten-year sentence or under a fifteen-
year sentence in order that he might
be enabled 10 determine how much
time he will get off for good behavior
ana when parole might be applied
for. He also contended that the At

prisoners at hard labor, whereas he
