Literature Ready.

The Morrow county booster lit
erature which was delivered at the
Bank of Heppner has been trans
felred to the Palace Hotel, and
Manager wilkins is very anxious
that the people take an interest in
distributing the same. This is q
matter in which everyone should
cooperate and not leave the work
to very few epterprising and pub
lie spirited citizens. The literature
is paid for and the only favor asked
of the people is that they will take
a few moments of their time and a
few postage stamps and send some
of these valuable folders to Eastern
friends. This is a splendid time
to send out advertising matter, but
to put it off much longer will not
be OF much benefit in catching
the fall colonist movement. Get
busy friends and send as many
booklets and folders as you think
you can afford to. You will be
benefited by little unselfish work
of this nature and your little effort
may be the means of inducing sew
eral good families to settle in our
midst. Mr.. Wilkins will be very
glad to show you where the book
let's are if YOU will but step into
the hotel and inquire for them.

COLLINS CAP
TURED AGAIN
Forger and Jail Breaker
Located at Condor
In Jail Here Now.

Sheriff Hayes returned from Con
don Friday evening, having il
charge Walter Collins, the forgel
who broke Jail here on the nigh
of July 22nd. Forging checks
seems to be Collins chief occupa.
ton, as the following from the Con-
don Times would Indicate:
Walter Collins was arrested here
Wednesday by Marshal Keeney
for passing bogus checks and was
turned over to Sheriff Montague,
who lodged him In the Caunty jail.
The mans description talliedp ex-
actly with one sent Mr.. Montague
by Sheriff Hayes of Morrow county
of prisoner who broke jail there
on the night Of July 22nd by un-
locking the door with a KEY made
from a dinner fork. Sheriff Hayes
who was notified Immediately, said
to hold the prisoner until he icame
for him.
Collins procured some blank
checks at the First National Bank
here Tuesday and started up in
business. The first check, for S.,
made payable to Fred Esteb and
signed J. A. Wesley, was cashed at
D. 81. Cottmire's saloon. The next
for $1S.75 he cashed at the Mono
gram restaurant, getting $500 and
asking Mrs. Ledgett, the proprie-
tress, to keep the balance as he
would spend it too freely. Mrs.
Ledgett notified the marshal who
made the arrest. He also tried to
get money from two or three others
but was unsuccessful.
Collins was arrested on the same
charge at Heppner. He admitted
being in jail there but denies un-
locking the door with the key made
from the fork, but says the sheriff
left the door open, and like many
good men have done, he fell to
temptation and walked out.
Sheriff Hayes arrived in Condor
Thursday evening and took the
prisoner to Heppner yesterday
morning, where he will await trial
in November.

pills present were doing well under the
instruction of Miss Marion Fit zgerald.

Mill. which ls under the direction Of
Miss Carrie Ward. Some repairs have
been made upon the building recently
and fine fsg-pole has been erected in
the yard, from which floats nice dag
The work was moving along nicely.
The following day, visited the school
at Little Camas Prairie. The work os
the school had been interfered with by
the sickness OF the teacher, Miss Maggie
Srerry, but otherwise the work was go
ing along smoothly. A new cloak room
and good wood-shed have been built
recently. These conveniences are ap-
preciated by the teacher and spupi,s-
Some new maps and other apparatus

Fair News.

The Office in the Morrow U matills
county fair pavilion in Pendleton hat
been opened and Miss ParaIee Haley
assistant secretary, is busily engaged in
the preliminary work to be done before
the opening of the fall festival. Appli.
cants for exhibition space are being re-
ceived daily and entries haye begun to
come in.
Particularly gratifying to the directors
OF the fair is the interest being mani
tested by several towns in the county.
Milton and Freewater announced sever
al weeks ago that they would enter the
best display in their history and Her
miston soon followed with similar an.
nouncement. Now comes Stan6eld to
reserve space for a complete exhibit Of
the products raised about that town, the
work of collecting the same being in the
hands Of G. L. Hurd, secretary of the
Commercial club. and A. w. Gray,
secretary Of the Fruitgrowers' associa-
ton. Other towns are expected to make
reservations soon.
Among the entertainment features at
the fair this year will be daily balloon
ascension and parachute Jump. This
attraction was secured by contract
with E. j. Arnold, who will bring his
entire carnival to Pendleton. By the
contract, Mr.. Arnold Is also to pat on
several vaudeville sketches in the pa
yilion each evening.
Visitors at the fair this fall will have
the opportunity of seeing band OF live
ostriches as contract has been made
with Heilman Bros. of San Diego, Calf
for the exhibition of number of these
birds.
Specal attention is being paid this
wear to the livestock department.
Frank Michaels. the we'll known Pilot
Rock farmer, is among the first to an
nounce his intention of exhibiting blood
ed cattle and horses at the fair.
Prices at the fair this fall have been
fixed at 15 cents for adults and 10 cents
Tor children during the afternoons and
26 cents during the evening. Family
season tickets will be sold for So and
individual season tickets for $3.50.

Evidence of BootIegging.

1t is very evident from the ac-
tions of the few Indians who have
been laying around Heppner for
some time that there is con sider-
able bootlegging going on. Mon
day evening, one of the dusky citi-
zens became so obstreperous that
Marshal McCraw found it necessary
to give him nights lodging in the
city bastile. There is a very rigid
law concerning the selling of whis-
key to Indians and If the local au-
thorities can't see fit to look into
the matter it might be we'll to in
form the federal authorities of the
misdemeanor. If Uncle Sans
officers get hold of the offenders
there will be something worse than
a Morrow county jury to buck up
against. The rock pile and state
roads are fine places for such Offend
ers tc ponder over their ill-gotten
gains This is a good opportunity
for the home rule people to show
their fettle.

spot Tuesday morning.
Friends and constituents of A.
W. Lafferty are somevhat shocked
and greatly disappointed by the
stories of his personal misconduct
emanating from Washington. 1t
may be true, as the representative
from this district declares, that the
incident of his letter writing to a
high school girl has been magnified,
but in its most conservative phase
tie story is serious enough to spell
defeat for A. w. Lafferty, repres-
entative from Oregon. Unless he
is able to repudiate the story in
some more substantial way than at
present, he may as well retire
gracefully from politics. Other
wise he will find himself thrown
out.-Live Wire.

Boys who % To Golden.

The fifteenth biennial report Of
the board Of control Of the Colorado
Industrial school contains protest
against the tendency Of the public
To call the institution a "reiorma-
tory" and pleads in the cause Of
fairness that friends and associates
Of such boys as have had the train
ing Of the school, refrain from con-
sidering them as former inmates Of
a house of correction. Coupled
with the appeal is the report Of the
work done by the boys during the
period. II Is record Of effective
work in cement laying, house
building, carpentering, shoemak.
ing. tailoring, and the report itself
is an eloquent testimony Of the
skill Of such Of the boys as are
being instructed in printing trades.
Reading q report Of this char
acter and considering that the boys
who make this record are such as
were once thought unfit to be per-
mitted to continue as free agents in
society, the question Of what is a
bad boy naturally intrudes. II
these are bad boys" then what
great fund Of energy is being left
unconserved by the failure to in
struct the good ones in work in
which they ought to prove even
more efficient!
Strictly speaking 1t is q question
whether there are any bad boys.
or boys who would do the things
which makes them called bad II
only they could have been given q
right start in life and been made to
zee the good fun" there Is in do.
ing right and using their energies
In better ways. Mischief is but
misdirected energy bubling out Of
the boy; evil is mischief gone to
SEED. Every boy rightly taught
fathers . man who will be worthy
Of society; there 10 danger that the
one who goes wrong will never out
grow the habit and that an enemy
Of society will result.
A generation which could take
care Of all the boys. start them all
on the right road and make them
see the evil consequences to them
selves and others, which results
from wrong doing, would give civ
ilization q strong push on to that
millennium toward which its we'll
wishers have long been looking.
One generation Of good boys and
the problem Of making good men
would be solved forever.
The school at Golden In for boys
who got q bad start; the idea Ii to
take them there and teach them
the fun Of achieving good work.
II Is to train them in helpful ways
and drill them to avoid harmful
habits. aud since the natural tend.
ency Of the boy Is toward the good.
II Is unfair to hold against him the
fact that he was given the wrong
start through causes wholly be-
yond his control. II he has used
the advantages Of the school to
profit Is II not even to be granted
that il is more to his credit to have
lifted himself out Of the environ.
ment which promised to make him
an unworthy member Of society
than Il would have been had he
made only an indifferent man after
being given all that was his due In
the matter Of q fair beginning -
