window breakers stealing from
the show windows of State street
have not deprived thepeopIe of Cook
county of as much as Julius Rosen-
valid has the past year in his evasion
of the tax laws"
Assistant States Attorney Hayden
Bell made this statement Monday. He
said that the trust newspapers now
trying to have julius Rosenwald look
like a martyr are standing for hypoc-
risy and endorsing the actions Of
man who said ito hell with the law"
81 have told the newspapers, but
they won't print it, that Julius Ro-
senWaId beat the people of Cook
county out of more money than all
the robbers in a year who have taken
padded bricks and smashed State
street windows" said Bell. at is
clear that an organized attempt is on
to throw a halo around Mr.. Rosen-
WaId.
eff the theory of Mr.. Rosenwald
should be universally adopted it
would mean that the police, the
states attorney and the courts
should all be abolished and every
body should laugh at the law and
perhaps go farther and say to he'll
with the law. If Mr.. Rosenwald and
the newspapers of this city are in
favor Of anarchy, that is their right
and their privilege.
'Let them be honest about it, how
ever. Let them come into the open
and say to all the people that the
laws are made to be sneered at and
kicked aside, broken, disobeyed.
''This is not the time for Mr.. Ro-
senWald to come forward and lead a
movement to reform the tax laws of
Illinois. If Mr.. Rosenwald wants tax
reform he ought to have come to the
front before he was indicted by the
grand jury.

come into the open and obey this
law. He refused every time.
eff he can get away with this it
means the breakdown Of all law. It
means that what is written on the
statute books is all joke.
eff the people of this city knew
exactly how the newspapers lie about
tax fixing, lie about tax laws, lie
about tax crimes and tax criminals,
there would be danger of the people
going in ,mObs to the newspaper
buildings and destroying them.
''The newspapers know and Mr..
Rosenwald knows tina THE tax laws
are strictly enforced against the poor
man, the small home owner who gets
taxed on everything he has, because
everything he has is in plain sight.
Strict enforcement of the tax laws
now on the books will bring punish
ment only to miIionaires, stockhold-
ers and bondholders.
''MT. Rosenwald's $25,OOO,0O0
worth of shares of stock in Sears,
Roebuck & Co. are property. They
are property just as much as the
small home owners lot and house.
Why should the state of Illinois take
the small home owner at full value
on the house and lot and at the same
time allow Mr.. ROsenwald to go free
from paying taxes on $25,00O,000
worth of Sears-RoebUck stock?
There have been men with real
moral courage who were opposed to
all taxes and all government. Henry
Thoreau, the New England philoso-
pher, took the position that all taxes
are wrong. He refused to pay taxes
and was sent to Jail, and his friends,
Ralph Waldo Emerson and other phi
losophers, had to pay a fine to get
him out.
There was no yellow streak about
Thoreau. He was different from Ju-

Mrs. C,em1nel Dies
AtHome OfHer Son

Mrs. Mary Gemmel, wife of Robert
Gemmell, passed to her reward at the
home of her son, Robert Gemmell,
at the Skinner creek ranch of Minor
Brothers, on Thursday, July l, at
the advanced age OF "a years. She
had been an invalid for many years
and death was caused from an in
testinal cancer. A short funeral SER
vice was held at the grave on Satur-
day forenoon, Rev. j. V. Crawford
officiating.
Mrs. Gemmell was a native of
Scotland and was born in Wighton-

her early girlhood and became the
wife of Robert Gemmell, who sur

leaves two sons and one daughter.
The sons are Robert and William,

home of her son here for the past
two years, during which time she has
been tenderly cared for by her rela-

had to care for her. For herself and
her suffering she made no complaint,
and was fully prepared to meet her
summons at the time it should come.

MONUMENT ROUTE
TO Be RE-OPENED
Heppner Commercial Club Has Re-
ceiyed Several Bids From Parties
Who Would Carry Mail Be-
tween This City and the
Grant County Town.

For the past several weeks the
Heppner Commercial Club has been
advertising for bids for carrying the
mail between Heppner and Monu-
ment, that route having been discon-
tinued some time ago. In taking the
matter up, the local club learned
from the postofiice department that
the only reason the route was ever
discontinued was because the depart
ment could find no one who would
carry the mail at their price. 1t now
seems that the work of the Heppner
Commercial Club Is about to bear
fruit, for as many as four bids have
already been received, and these bids
will be passed upon at the regular
meeting of the Club at the council
chambers next Monday night.
Other important business will
come before the Club for discussion.
and Secretary Smead urges full at
tendance at the meeting Monday
night.

Wind Does Much
Damage at Hefmiston

From the Hermiston Correspon-
dence in Pendleton East Oregonian:
The most costly wind this county has
ever known came from the north
east without warning about o'clock
Saturday night. Continuing until
past midnight it blew at its hardest
between forty-fve and fifty milts an
hour, while the average was between
twenty-five and thirty miles an hour.
The extremity high wind made it al
most suffocating as the air was a
cloud of sand and dust.
This is the second wind of its kind
in many years, although none ever so
destructive to vegetation.
The Hermiston Light & Power Cos
high line leading to Echo was brok-
en- in two by large falling tree, near
Stanfeld, cutting off all power from
Hermiston, Echo and Stanfield.
Several shade trees on the main
streets were uprooted and locust and
poplar wind breaks protecting or
chards were broken and twisted. Fur
ther than the loss of ripening fruit
shaken from the trees, orchards will
have little loss.
The alfalfa crop which is in the
middle of its second cutting is badly
wilted by the heated wind though it
is beginning to show more signs of
life now. Corn, while badly blown
down, is young enough to revive with
little assistance.

places of trust in public and private
life, and had never been found want
ing. 1t was said of him always. that
his word was as good as his bond.
He was a citizen of sterling worth
and modest demeanor, and while he
has lived a quiet life most of the time
for the past fifteen years, yet he has
been called upon to act in smaller
places of responsibility the most of
this time, and every duty has been
faithfully and promptly discharged.
He was a faithful member of Hepp-
ner Lodge No. So, A. F. & A. NJ, and
Willow Lodge No. 66, |. o. o. F. In
these two lodges he has held the
highest offices, and for years he has
been the treasurer of the Masonic
lodge and faithful attendant. Of
late years he has been sufferer from
chronic stomach trouble, and this all
ment at last brought him low. By
his splendid character and upright
manhood, George Noble has built a
monument to himself in this COM
munity that will last for all time.
His funeral will be conducted to-
day at 2 o'clock from the Christian
church. Rev. j. V. Crawford otticiat-
ing, and the remains laid TO rest in
Masonic cemetery under the charge
of Heppner Lodge No. 50, using the
beautiful burial service of the order,
and attended by the officers and mem
bers of Willow Lodge No. 66. In fur
ther honor of Mr.. Noble, all business
of Heppner will be suspended from l
to $3.50 p, m.

WIND TAKES ONE.TH|RD
UMAT|LLA WHEAT CROP
Conservative Estimates BY Growers
and Buyers Show Damage to
Crop has Been Considerable.

That Umatilla county farms were
hard hit by the recent winds which
visited that section is evidenced by
the following article taken from the
PendletOn East Oregonian of July 5:
A third of Umatilla county's wheat
crop for 1915 is the toll taken from
the farmer by the recent winds, ac-
cording to conservative estimates by
growers and buyers. This does not
necessarily mean third of the nor
NAL crop for, until recent winds, the
prospects were bright for an abnor-
NAL yield.
The damage done has been general
all over the county. No section has
escaped and hardly farmer but has
suffered from the killing winds. Two
weeks ago considerable damage was
done IN some sections by cold winds
and last week hot winds did great
deal more damage. Even the heavy
lands on the reservation and in the
Athena-Adams section have felt the
damaging eHeCtS.
The damage is apparent even to
the unexpert eye. The golden tint
which betokens the perfect crop con-
trasts this year with the pale hue
that signifies burnt-out wheat and the
blush caste that tells of straw cured
up before the heads had matured.
Most all of the fields are spotted and
some farmers declare they have fields
of SO to 100 acres hurt so badly that
it will not pay to cut them The grain
is so shriveled that, even II cut, much
of it would blow over during the pro-
cess of threshing. The reseeded fields
were particularly hard hit, according
to reports from farmers.
The barley loss will not be as great
in proportion as the wheat loss There
was less barley than usual sown this
year and much of 1t was so far ad-
vanced that the winds did but little
damage. In some sections, too, some
of the wheat was advanced beyond
the stage where much injury could be
done.
One result of the damage will be
the necessity of testing the grain.
Since 1909 the Umatilla county grain
has been so. uniformly heavy that
buyers have not felt the need of test
ing for weight, but this year there
will be considerable light wheat and
many light tests are anticipated. The
testing will be difficult in view of the
fact that the light grain will be pret-
ty we'll mixed with the heavy grain
Another result of the damage al
ready apparent, is in the sack market.
Farmers, who were insistently clam
oring for more sacks two weeks ago,
are now satisfied with what they have
ordered.
The root of the damage is traced
back to the heavy May rains. So much
moisture was received at that time
that the roots of the grain spread out
just beneath the surface instead of
going deep. The grain grew rank and
gave rise to anticipations of big yields
even in the light land sections but
when the hot weather came, the roots
could not secure enough moisture to
sustain the stalks and nourish the
l. 4.

LEXINGTON HOLDS
GOOD CELEBRATION
Wrestling Match and Parade by Res
idents OF Clarks Canyon and
Social Ridge Features
Large Crowd Attends.

Observation of the national day
was held at Lexington last Saturday,
July 3. Long before the opening ex-
ercises teams and auto loads of peo-
pie commenced to arrive in town to
spend the day. During the week the
weather had been unusually warm,
but on this day the weather was much
cooler and proved to be an ideal sum-
mer day for this event.
The program began at 10 o'clock
with the races held on Arcade street,
which occupied the attention of the
visitors until II o'clock. Then came
the water fight with the fire hose on
Main street, which was enjoyed
greatly by the spectators, the con-
testants receiving good wetting.
After this event all went to the
grove for the musical program and
addresses. The principal address of
the day was by Rev. T. S. Handsaker,
of Heppner, after which followed a
basket dinner.
At 1870 the crowd assembled at
the ball grounds to witness a good
game between lone and Moro. lone
won by score of to 2.
After the ball game the horse races
were held on Water street, and some
fast races were pulled off. The races
were followed by bucking contest.
The wrestling match between ]. l..
Nouregaard of Baker and Jack Ken
nedy of Hermiston, was staged in the
dancing pavilion at o'clock. After
more than two hours of wrestling,
with neither man getting a fall, the
match was called draw and stopped.
After this event, dancing was in
dulged in until late hour.
Last, but not least, in the import
ant features of the day was the spec
ial parade by the people of Clarks
Canyon and Social Ridge. This pa
rade was a complete surprise to the
spectators as this feature of the days
events was not known even to the
committee on amusements. 1t was
great treat to the crowd, and the
old fashioned plug uglies in the pa
Iduc DIOuSuI lOTlu SHOUTS OI lduSn-
ter from the spectators. In the pa
rade were also pioneer people in pre-
historic vehicles, who had come to
town to see the sights. Their liberty
car was beautifully decorated with
the national colors. The last in line
was huge auto truck, the latest in
vention in road machines. Taken
all around, the parade was we'll got
ten up and carried out in good shape,
and those who were privileged to see
it will not forget this event for some
time.
This was the first celebration held
in Lexington since 1907 and the
crowd, was in good humor at all
times, since there was never a dull
minute in the days entertainment.
The program was carried out without
any delay and the comments from the
visitors were, that it was day we'll
spent. The Live Wire committee
that had charge of the program, is to
be congratulated for the splendid
manner in which it was carried out.

Heppner was overwhelmed with
dust on Saturday night, getting what
was left by the big wind that hit the
Hermiston country earlier In the eve
ming. The storm broke over Hepp-
ner about 10 o'clock in the evening
and after many residents had retired
for the night, and ii was not realized
by many that we were being covered
with dirt. The wind lasted but a
few minutes but it was the middle OF
the afternoon, Sunday. before the at
mosphere cleared. What happened
at Hermiston and Stanfeld can be
Judged from the residue passed over
to Morrow county. At these two pla-
ces much damage was done to vege-
tation, and the light plants and tele-
phone lines were put out of commits
sion. There was some stir in real
estate and no mistake.
