On the old Franklin place, now oc-
cupied by Mrs. Mcintosh, and which
joins town on the east, are two freak
apple trees. Early in the season,
and like all good apple trees should
do, they bloomed. Then, the fruit
crop began to set on and after the ap-
Piles had reached good size the tree
became white with bloom and now
there are two crops of apples hanging
on the tree. The first crop is very
large and just about mature, while
the second one is about half grown.
There is no accounting for the freak
situation except possibly that the
place is so near the cemetery that it
might be plain case of spooks, and
if it is, we would advise Mrs. McIn-
tosh to examine the apples carefully
and see if they are not full of hard
cider. If they are it is the work of
ghosts, probably getting ready for the
long dry spell that will start January

Heppner Light & Water Co. this
week completed the installing of fire
plugs in the Farmers Union Ware
house at the depot grounds. This
building was out of reach of any of
the hydrants, so separate connection
has been made with the mains and
plugs installed in both ends of the
big building. Sufficient hose has
been provided and placed in conven-
lent reach so that in case of fire at
any point inside or outside of the
building it can be readily covered,
This is good move and the ware
house people are to be congratulated
for taking this precaution to protect
their own property as we'll as that for
which they stand responsible to their
customers.

New Commissioner Here.

O. M. Clark, of Portland, presi.
dent of the Oregon Commission, is
now resident at the Oregon building
| and with Mrs. Clark is directing
things. Incidentally, they are repre-
senting the state at Exposition func-
tions, several large events having TAX
en- place during the week just past
On Tuesday they banquetted at the
Fairmont in honor of the Commits
sioner General of Guatemala. On
Wednesday at the same place the big
affair was in honor of Guatemala S
Independence Day. Wednesday af-
ternoon at the Oregon building, the
Daughters of the the American Rev
olution were given a reception at
which Mrs. |. L. Patterson, of Salem,
presided, with Mrs. Clark in the re-
ception line This was brilliant
event attended by very large num-
ber of ladies. The band from the
battleship Oregon furnished music.
On Wednesday the Webber Juvenile
Orchestra, now playing the Pantages
circuit, gave a half hours concert at
the Oregon building and pleased I'M
mensely. The party of young people
were guests of the Commission at
luncheon. Mr.. Clark received ap-
pointment as Governor Withycombe's
special representative at the meetings
of the Woman's Congressional Union,
an occasion that brought hundreds of
able women to San Francisco. The
Clarks were guests also at the New
Jersey reception on the 18th. Expo
sition society life is somewhat siren
uous, but the Clarks are equal to the
emergency.

Albert Emry and Alex Warren
were visitors in Heppner from Hard
man Monday. These gentlemtn re-
port that it is very dry in their sec
tion and they should like to see the
fall rains set in. The entire country
is in need of soaking rains and now
is a splendid time for them to come.
Earl Hallock came up from Port
land Tuesday to spend few days in
Heppner looking after business in
terests and visiting with friends and
relatives. Mr.. Hallock is now in the
employ of the Portland Union Stock
Yards with headquarters in North
Portland.
G. A. Johnson, of Lexington, held
the lucky number that drew the fine
saddle at the Noble shop on Satur-
day. He should get him six-bit pony
now and 60 to the Pendleton Round
Up. We venture there will be few
saddles at that show finer than this
one.

Produces Good Crop of Tomatoes.

Jake Wattenburger matured fine
crop of tomatoes on his place in East
Heppner this season and has gath
cred 20 bushels or more of good ripe
ones from little patch less than 80
feet square. He considers this an ex-
ira good season for tomatoes and
they have ripened without difficulty.
Mr.. Wattenburger has made a nice
home out of his place and has an
abundance of fruit of all kinds grow
ing there. To see the place now one
would not recognize that his ground
was made since the food of 1903 and
had to be built up from what was at
that time bed of bare rocks. Mr..
Wattenburger's enterprise has pro-
duced him nice home and he is just
ly proud of it.

Some Steer.

1t is not improbable that Oregon
will show here the largest steer in
captivity at the present time. This
is 5000 FOUNDER that grew up in
the klamath country. The animal Is
six years old, and is range fed only,
never having been in a STALL George
Watt, the owner, proposes to enter
the big fellow for a prize, but there
is no class for anything beyond three
year-olds. 1t is now proposed to
bring the old boy down as a part of
the Oregon exhibit, with headquar-
ters in the game pavilion adjoining
the Oregon building. Even picture
of the animal in the klamath booth
ATTRACTS considerable attention, and
the real thing on display is certain to
prove a winner.

NEW PHILADELPHIA CITY

Their Popularity as Permanent In
vestment Clearly Demonstrated

The popularity Of Philadelphia bonds
as permanent Investments, judging from
the daily applications at Mayor Blanken-
burg's office in City Hall for proposal
blanks for the s, $50 900 S0-year per
cent, bonds to be let on Friday, was
never more pronounced.
Scores Of private citizens, anxious to
secure small blocks OF bonds, which will
be issued in such amounts as the pur-
chasers may require in the sum of 500
and its muluples, today visited City
tiall to acquaint themselves with the
conditions Of the letting and to obtain
proposal blanks. Many corporations, as
well as individuals. have requested pro-
posal blanks, and because of the num-
Der of concerns that have evinced an
interest the competitive bidding on Fri
day is likely to prove unusually inter
estlng.
The bonds of the city being free from
any state tax and from the payment of
income tax are especially desirable as
an investment for trust funds, and many
OF the bonds issued in years past are
held In this way
