There was an open session for the
purpose of hearing a petition from
the railroad committee of the Hepp-

sented by the chairman of the COM

was request to the County Union
to join with the Heppner Commercial

on the branch, and the question
brought forth no small amount of dis

side in a forceful manner and put
a great deal of stress upon the CO.
operation that should be entered IN

Sheriff Marion Evans and Mrs.
McDuffee left by auto for PendletOn

Meacham is situated in noun

Umatilla county and it is probably
due to this that the hOld-up occurred
at that point.
Last reports from PendletOn were
to the effect that Mr.. McDuffee was
doing nicely and would pull through
alright. just where MIR. McDuffee
was wounded was not learned. An
other report says that the second
man wounded by the deputy sheriff
was carried off by the third robber.
Only three men entered the coach to
hold up the passengers. The other
two were guarding the baggage car

BIGGER AND BET
TER MORROW FAIR
Portland Ad Club Quar-
tette Has Been Secured
By Fair Management.

Bigger and Better" is a well
adopted slogan for the Second An
nual Morrow County Fair. for from
present indications, the big features
of the coming fair will surpass those
of last year to no small extent. The
management has secured the Port
land Ad Club quartette for the three
days, and this attraction, which has
the name of being the best in Port
land, should prove strong drawing
card.
Last week, Silas Christofferson
made new altitude record for areo-
planes, by flying over the top OF Mt.
Whitney, going higher than 5000
feet. Christofferson was the first and
only man that ever brought flying
machine to Morrow county, and his
work of last year thrilled the visitors,
but yet the fair board promise that
they have something on the string.
that will surpass even Christofferson,
in tie hair-raising line of st,nts. A
woman will make double para
chute jump from a balloon some six
thousand feet in the air. This at
traction is now being arranged foi
With very favorable prospects that
tie Fair Board will get contract.
This year, o. E. Freytag, secretary
of the Oregon City Commercial Club
has been secured to arrange the ex-
hibits. Mr.. Freytag is recognized as
the best in this line on the Pacific
coast. For several years past, he
has been arranging the Oregon ex-
hibit for the Land Show at Chicago.
Last year, $1,000 was spent for
special attractions for the entertain
ment of their guests, alone, and the
board expects to go stronger this
year. ii

The Declaration of Independence.

One hundred and thirty eight
years ago the Declaration of Indepen-
dence was formally, passed 1t was
written by Thomas Jefferson, and
only few changes were made from
the original draft. At that time,
Congress was in session at the state
house in Philadelphia, known as In
dependence Hall. The old Liberty
Bell rang out the glad tidings, and
the beating of drums and firing of
cannon followed. John Hancock was
the president of the congress, and
the Declaration Of independence was
signed by him and the representatives
from the different colonies.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
EARLY DAYS HERE
A. c. Petteys, of Pettey's Grove, Was
the First Postmaster in This
Section. Came Here in '6S.

A. C. Petteys, pioneer resident of
Petteysville, and the first postmaster
OF this section, was visitor in Hepp-
ner on Monday and this Office ack-
nowledges a pleasant call from him.
In the very early days of the settle
ment of the Willow creek valley Mr..
Petteys got postoftice established at
his place at the mouth of Rhea creek
and he was made the postmaster,
which position he filled for some six
teen years. He also plated and laid
off town site on his place and had
the same recorded on the records at
the court house but there was never
any demand for the lots and the es-
tablishment of the town did not ma
terialize. During these days the
question of getting mail delivered to
the people up this way was quite a
problem Some three months before
the commission arrived from Wash
ington to establish the office, Mr..
Petteys took the responsibility upon
himself of carrying the mail to his
place from The Dalles, first and a
little later from the bridge at the
crossing of the John Day river where
postoffice had been established, and
he and his brother would make al
ternate trips down that way to get
! nt
weeks. All mail for people living in
the Heppner hills was sent up this
way and distributed to the people
here by Tom kimsey who was in the
employ of Mr.. Petteys at the time. 1t
is stated that Tom made very good
haul out of these mail deliveries as
he received all the way from 10 to
| SO cents for each letter and the peo-
pie were glad to pay the price. Mr.
| Petteys has seen much of the hard
ships of pioneer life as he has prac-
tically lived all his days in the from
tier sections of the states Of Illinois
Michigan and Oregon. His first set
tlement in this state was in the Will
lamette valley and he came to East
ern Oregon and located on Willow
creek in 1868 on the place where he
now. resides. He moved his family
there and built his home four years
later. He is well acquainted with
the history of this country from its
earliest days, and it is interesting tc
hear him relate some of his exper-
fences.

Ganger is representing lone. The
contest will close on the afternoon of
July 4th in lone, when the prizes

Mr.. Sinnott has fitted up an office

tion for the accommodation of day
travel.
AS the Farmers Union of Morrow
county is already involved in rate
reduction controversy with the rail
road company which has been in pro-
gress of adjustment for the past three
years, they feel that they should not
lend their Endorsement to this other
proposition at this time as it places
them in the position of asking too
much.
The Morrow County Union wish
to be distinctly understood as not CO.
operating with the Heppner CONNER
cial Club committee in the efforts
now being made to better the train
service on the Heppner branch but
on the other hand they will stand
ready to work for the best interests
CT the entire county in regard to all
matters that come up, and also stand
ready to cooperate with the Tfeppner
organization along these lines. The
committee appointed consists of W.
T. McNabb, of lone; c. E. Jones, of
Farmegon; Z. r. Lundell, of Dry
Fork; r. 3. Wilcox, of Lexington;
Omar Stanton, and H. NJ. Olden, of
Eight Mile, and C. N. Jones of Hepp-
ner.
The invitation of the lone Com
mercial Club to bring the second an
nual picnic to their city was left with
the picnic committee. The thanks
of the Union were extended to the
Club for their kind invitation.
Upon discussion of the matter Of
harvest wages, it was finally agreed
to pay 81 per day for box drivers,
$3.50 for leaders and So to IS per
day for skilled men.
