The following suggestion regarding

Having investigated the number of

that many children are taken away

MISSING MIR. WEBB

Arizona Messenger Reported to Be Kidnapped Now New
York and Arrives Toda y-Wise Ones Suspect

The mystery of the disappearance ol
Wilfred T. Webb, the messenger from
Arizona bearing the three electoral vote:
of the State, was solved this morning
Senator Ashurst of Arizona got a tele.
gram from Webb in New York. saying
he would arrive here at o'clock this
afternoon.
will be in Washington at p. m.
Arrange TO have vote received
This was the context of the message
sent by the missing Webb to the anxious
Ashurst. Senator Ashurst was the more
relieved because for the last twenty
four hours he has sweat blood, and
spent $50 in kilograms to various sec
tions of the United States eagerly in
quiring if any light could be shed on
the reputed kidnapping of Webb and the
electoral vote of Arizona.
Early this morning il was reported
Webb had been located in Washington.
This, however. was disproved when
Senator Ashurst made public the tele-
gram from Webb from the metropolis.
The full mystery of the belated ar
rival OF Webb will not be told until he
reaches here. Various stories and
theories are put forth 10 account for it.
One is that Mr.. Webb. having an ex-
allied notion OF the Importance of the
three electoral votes of Arizona. went

row Wilson and ask for an appointment

Another is that Mr.. Webb, not being
used to travel in the East, did not recog-
nize Washington when he reached ii
and rode, right through here to New
York Some think Mr.. Webb supposed
he was expected to deliver the vote OF
Arizona to Governor Wilson himself
At any rate. with all the rest of the
messengers from the forty-eight States
having arrived on time and deposited
their packages containing the e.ectoral
votes, everybody officially concerned
has been worried about Webb. Under
the law, he had until last night to dc
posit the vote with the presiding officer
of the Senate Harry E. Devendorf.
secretary to the presiding officer, was
on watch for him until s o'clock and
then left word that If Web appeared
any time in the night he would accept
the vote. But Webb did not appear.
Detectives were sent out through such
regions in Washington as might be sus-
pected of harboring electoral votes but
they failed to discover any traces.

1t appears Webb left Arizona on
time. He was heard from four or five
days ago in st. Louis. He was report
ed to be making progress toward the
Capital: Since then, he has not been
hurt sent messages to every hotel in
ST. Louis and. evoking no response,

Some talk was heard today of sending
an escort in the direction of New York
to meet Webb and help him bring on
the Arizona vote, but 1t is hoped this
will not be necessary.
Aside from Webb. all the rest of the
messengers appeared on time. The for

handsome business building at Thir-

admitted today by an officer OF the

has been a mystery in real estate cir

heart of Washington's shopping dis

RICHARDSON IS
NEW POSTMASTER
Question of Who Is Going
To Serve Heppner Is
at Last Settled.

News received from Senator Geo.
E. Chamberlain Wednesday announced
the confirmation by the senate of the
appointment of w. A. Richardson as
postmaster at Heppner. To Mr..
Richardson this was welcome news
and he is busy receiving the congrat-
ulations of his friends over his sue
cess.
The Heppner postmastership has
been tied up, as 1t were, for many
months owing to the difficulty. we
presume, of deciding between the var
ious applicants, and In the meantime
Postmaster Smead has gone along
serenely drawing the salary and look
ing after the duties of the Office and
biding the time of his retirement.
This paper congratulates Mr.. Rich
ardson. He is on old resident OF
Heppner, man we'll qualified for the
place and we can assure our readers
that he will be a courteous and eff
oient public servant.
We presume that Mr.. Richardson
will assume his duties as soon as he
can properly qualify.

INTERESTED IN FAIR
Will Offer Suitable Prize
For Dry Land Exhibit.

In conversation this week with Mr..
J. B. Huddleston, agent of the 0 :
w. R. & N. Co. at Heppner. we
learn that the railroad company are
interesed in the coming Morrow coun-
ty fair and will put up suiatble and
valuable premium for the best exhi-
bit produced through the use of dry
farming methods. This will be we'll
worth trying for, and we hope to be
able to announce right away what the
premium will be, and just the class of
exhibit it will be offered on.
It is certainly encouraging to the
directors of the fair to have the com
pany show this interest. and it should
be a stimulous to our citizens to work
harder than ever in making the fair a
grand success.
Just what concessions will be made
in the way OF reduced rates on the
railroad has not yet been announced
but we are led to believe that the o.
W. R & N. Co. will do what they
can for US along this line, and that
suitable rates will be made for the
fair season. OF this we will be able
to make definite announcement little
later.
