Keep Dogs MuzZled.
Heppner, Oregon, July 20, 1915

Heppner, Oregon, July 20, 1915.
Owing to the prevalence of rabies
in the immediate vicinity of Heppner,
the City Council looking to the well
fare of the people of our town, has
ordained that all dogs shall be muz-
zled or kept chained up until such
time as the City Health Officer thinks
the danger is past. Therefore the
Marshal has been instructed to kill
all dogs found running at large with
out muzzles within the corporate lin
its of the City of Heppner on or after
July 25th, 1915.
Due notice will be given when this
order is annulled,
This order will be strictly enforced.
People outside the city limits are re-
quested to keep dogs at home as there
will be no exception made. Rabies
has ceased to be joke and the
welfare of the people demands this
action.

Ocean Freight Rates on Wheat.

Quotations of ocean freight rates
on wheat from New York to Liver
pool averaged rs cents per bushel
during 1914, the high rates Of the
latter part of the year being Offset
partly by low rates in the other
months. During 1913 the average
was 5.6 cents; in 1912, II cents; In
1911, Az cents; and for the five years
1906-191O the average was 3.3 cents.
In June, 1915, the quotations reached
26 cents per bushel. Ocean freight
on wheat from Argentina to the Uni
ted Kingdom reached As cents per
bushel in April, 1915.
Ocean freight rates on wheat from
Portland, Oreg., to the United King
dom "for orders" averaged about
22.5 cents per bushel during the sea-
son from September /, 1914, to May
81, 1915; the average for the cores
ponding period in 1914 was 1913
cents. A much shorter route was
open in 1914-15 than in 1914, on
account of the Panama Canal; but In
1914-15 the European war made con-

hangs in the ufnzl Gallery In Florence?
Why wrote Hugh wynne"7
Certainly. take as long az you like;
there are 1i6 more questions when those
are disposed of. They are contained in
the general information test which the
pupils of the Germantown Friends School
undergo annually. The test is given to
classes In the intermediate and high
schools. and the majority Of those ex-
amlned are only In their teens
Tho test new departure In educational
methods, has aroused interest among cdu-
Gators and others throughout the country.
Principal Stanley r. Yamall, of the
Friends School, says II is recommending
itself to educators everywhere as a prac-
tcal way of stimulating the interest of
teachers and pupils In matters of every
day concern and connecting school life
ana instruction with the current events
ana matters of general. scientific, his
torleal, literary and cultural interest.
The llv questions in the test are divided
Into II groups. The first group requires

easiest question OF all comes in this

Philadelphia evening newspaper recently
started"
The questions are varied in their nature,
and as the students had no particular
class instruction In the subject touched
upon before the examination, the show
ing made is considered remarkable and
indicative of an extraordinary expansive
fund of information,
The boys showed a wider range of
knowledge than the girls. Principal va
mall says this probably is due to the
fact that they read the papers more
intelligently and, through their fathers,
become more widely interested In politi-
cal matters. business and other concerns.
Despite this general superiority of the
boys, the highest individual average In
the entire school this year was made by
a girl who answered correctly log out of
the llS questions.

Mr.. kolker probably does all that. As
for the play, Mr.. Hammond hasn't pre-

count OF the plot Is far otherwise than
attractive. II sounds wishy-washy, this
fable of the shoe manufacturer who pets
his son and tries to marry him to a

humble husband. The son, of course,

Clearwater Republican Did
Prove Case Against Hoar

days, as we recollect the testimony,
and that the county never received one
penny of interest on this.
l. R. Crow sent out the statement
that ''the defense failed to prove the
charge" Yet the defense, when the
prosecution admitted that some $65, 900
of county funds were deposited in the
Vollmer bank in lewiston, through
the Fidelity Bank of Orofino, offered
to prove that the Fidelity Bank of
Orofino received per cent. on daily
balances from the Vollmer bank, for
Clearwater county money, on which
Clearwater county received no interest.
This is what l. R. Crow calls fail
ing to prove the charge.
AS matter of fact the defense
proved by the prosecutions own wit
nesses all and more than was origin
ally charged in the alleged libelous
article, and the case against p. L..
Orcutt was so much of farce and a
fizzle that District Judge Steele re-
peatedly expressed his disapproval of
bringing such a case into court, at
an expense to the county of several
hundred dollars
That the defendant, Orcutt, might
not escape, private funds were avail
able and G. w. Tannahill, reputed one
of the most able and most clever at
torneys in Idaho, was employed to
prosecute the case.
The trial lasted two days. The
jury heard the evidence and returned
verdict of mot guilty, taking
barely twenty minutes to reach ver-
dict. The first ballot was eleven fol
acquittal. A second ballot was unan-
imous. The evidence justified this
verdict. The case was farce. The
defense proved it's case beyond any
question of doubt, and without malice
or boasting, and with regret that jus

County Fair Muddle
Getting More Serious

Orofino Tribune printing bills, and
"sorry mess'' was turned over to the
new fair board.
The county board was asked to buy
the ground and settle with Frank
Zelenka, but the commissioners are
inc lined to let matters slide, insist
ing that the people of the county are
not in favor of such expenditures.
Which means, if things take their
course, that Zelenka will foreclose
and the Improvement Co. will refuse
to indefinitely donate free site for
county fair purposes.
The prospect for county fair next
fall is not bright. The county COM
missioners are not inclined to saddle
onto the taxpayers of Clearwater
county the mistakes of l. R. Grow
and his crowd. They were entrusted
with the county fair. They took it
over with no debts and money in the
treasury. They fddled while Rome
| burned.
