atrick Curran Dies
|. At Portland Hospital

The funeral of Pat Curran, who
die1 at St. Vincents Hospital in Port
land on Friday last, was held from
the Catholic church in Heppner Sun
day afternoon at o'clock, the SER
vices being conducted by Rev. Father
O'Rourke, the pastor. There was a
very large attendance of friends and
neighbors of the deceased, and the
Ancient Order of Hibernians, of
which he was a member, attended in
body. 1t will be remembered that
Mr.. Curran was injured in an acci-
dent with his wool team early in the
Spring, and he lay for many weeks
in the Heppner Sanatorium where he
received the best of care at the hands
Of his physician. 1t was then decided
to take him to Portland in the hope
that the services of specialist might
bring him relief, but he was evidently
beyond the reach of human skill. The
injury to his spine could not be over
come and death finally came to his
relief. Mr.. Curran was a successful
sheepman of this county, being en-
gagged in that business with his bro
ther, John Curran, and a young man
we'll thought of by all who knew
him. He was unmarried.

Masonic Building To
Rise Up After Fair

We learn from T. j. Mahoney,
chairman of the building committee,
that the Heppner Lodge of Masons
will commence work on their new
temple Immediately after the Nor
row county fair. The plans of the
architect, c. c. Robbins, of Portland,
have been accepted, with the excep-
tion of a few minor details and the
work of tearing down the old build
ing and excavating for the new struc-
ture will be let by contract at once.
The Masons are setting a good ex-
ample for other builders in that they
will not move their old building to
the rear Of their lot, as was at first
contemplated, but instead will tear
it down.
The new building, it is definitely
decided, shall be of brick construc-
ton, two stories high with full base
ment. There will be a frontage of
forty feet on Main street and the
building will extend one hundred and
ten feet on Willow street. The lower
floor will be fitted up for business
concerns and it is understood that all
floor space in the new temple has al
ready been taken. The lodge room
will be reached by stairs leading from
a vestibule in the rear end of the
building off Willow street. The new
structure will cost between $4,000
and $4,000.

THIRD ANNUAL MORROW FAIR
OPENS One WEEK FROM TODAY
EXHIBITS GIVE PROMISE OF BEING BETTER
THAN EVER IN SPITE OF DAMAGE DONE
BY GRASSHOPPERS.


Morrow County's Third Annual
Fair will open in all its glory on
Thursday next. and promises to be
bigger and better than ever. Exhib-
its are now being placed, and there
is every indication that they will be
better and more extensive than at
all the other fairs so far held. The
individual displays will be more num-
numerous, and we are informed by
Secretary Smead that they will be of
character such as to surprise the
most sanguine citizen. 1t was feared
for time that the grasshopper pest
was going to interfere with fruit,
vegetable and grain samples but this
has not been the case and all lines of
horticulture and agriculture will be
abundantly and elaborately repre-
sented.
The Fair Board announce a colt
show as one of the important attrac-
tions of this season. This show will
be from $3.50 a. III. to 1900 m, Sat-
urday the 18th. This arrangement
is made for the reason that it will be
more convenient for our farmers to
bring their colts in on this date, and
it is arranged further to accept en-
tries in this show up to 900 a. M,
Saturday, thus avoiding the neces-
sity Of having the animals here dur
ing all the three days of the fair
This colt show should be the means
of arousing great deal of interest
among the farmers and horse raisers
of the county.
The usual splendid array of free
attractions have been prepared and
there will be nothing lacking to keep
the visitors entertained when not en-
gagged in viewing the exhibits. The

Movie Men To Photo Familiar Faces.

If you see some of our more en-
thusiastic movie fans doing the Char
lie Chaplin stunt or initiating some
other actor of motion picture fame,
don't be surprised, for they may be
posing in an original CD picture for
Card & Price, who are in Heppner
with the first motion picture machine
ever brought to these parts. These
gentlemen, who make their head
quarters in The Dalles, will be in
Heppner for five or six weeks taking
pictures of every day life scenes.
They will also snap the fair crowds
and exhibits as we'll as the many
attractions that will be here. These
films, which can be developed in
day, will be shown at the Star thea
ter, the first ones Friday and Satur-
day night. Many people have little
or no idea how motion pictures are
produced, but a studio right within
the city now opens up the possibil-
ity for us to wise up. These gen.
tlemen are ready for any suggestion
as to scenes worth while photograph
ing, educational or comic as the case
may be. They will take pictures of
threshing scenes over the county and
these will be used later on the out
side for educational and advertising
purposes.

EDNA VIOLA MIKESELL.

Edna Viola Mikesell, aged Is
years, 8 months and 29 days, beloved
daughter of w. E. and Mary M. Mike
sell, died at the home of her parents
in this city at 1880 a. m. Monday,
Sept. s, 1915.
Death was the result of an attack
of diabetis, Edna having suffered
with this disease for a number Of
years. 1t had grown out of very
severe case of scarlet fever which
she suffered some eight or nine years
ago, from which time she never grew
and developed as she should have
done. Her parents and friends real
lied that she was in a delicate con-
dition, and that death would not be
long delayed, yet they were greatly
shocked when apprised of her sudden
departure.
Funeral services were held Tues
day afternoon at the Christian
church, Rev. ]. V. Crawford, officiat-
ing. Six of Edna's girl friends,
dressed in white, acted as pail bear
ers, and the church was beautifully
decorated with vines and flowers.
Edna was bright girl and great
favorite in her home and among her
friends and schoolmates. She was
born and raised in Heppner and was
faithful member of the Christian
Sunday school, which she attended
many years, missing but two Sundays
in all this time.
The sympathy Of the community
goes out to the bereaved parents in
this sad hour.

Historic Drama Last
Days off Pompeii i"Here

Without doubt the most dramatic
event in the history of the world was
the destruction of Pompeii in 70 A.
d. by a terrific eruption of the vol
cano of Mt. Vesuvius. Fifteen years
previous this delightful city on the
shore of the Bay of Naples was rude
ly shaken and partially DESTROYED by
an earthquake and the inhabitants
were just recovering from the effects
of it and rebuilding their public
buildings and beautiful homes when
the rage of Vesuvius was vented up
on them. The volcano for hours
poured forth volumes of smoke, hot
flames shot up to the heavens and
steady down pour of clouds of hot
dust, stone and lava kept falling up
on the doomed city until it was bur-
led under twenty-eight feet of Gin
ders, stone and lava, and so complete
ly obliterated that all traces of its
location even were lost for nearly
seventeen centuries. Many of the
in habitants escaped but larger per-
centage perished. The eruption was
accompanied by frequent earth
quakes and to add to the horrors
terrible storm ragged for hours. 1t
happened while most of the inhabit-
ants were attending the games at the
amphitheatre and came upon them
so suddenly they were almost par
alyzed with fear. The city was
shrOuded in darkness and even the
sea had receded, so that thousands
who sought escape by means of it in
their superstitious fear returned to
the city, only to be destroyed by the
foul poison and vapors of the air
and hundred other agents of death
provoked by the eruption.
Lord Bulwer Lytton in his famous
romantic novel THE Last Days of
Pompeii' immortalized the event and
using data obtained from scientific
research and investigation, peopled it
with his imagination. Mr.. George
Kleine with his photo dramatization
of Lord Lytton's novel will do even
more to recall it to modern amuse-
ment lovers. His pictures of the
eruption give a most impressive and
vivid idea of the awful magnitude of
this world famed catastrophe. Mr..
kliene's photo drama "The Last Days
of Pompeii' will be presented at the
Home Theater for two nights be-
ginning Friday, Sept. 10.

city is taking immediate steps to
