HONOR OREGON BOYS.

All honor to our young men OF
Oregon, with whose ambition was
mixed enough patriotism to prompt
them to enlist in our State militia!
All honor to their parents, whose
tender fears and fearful misgivings
as to the ultimate outcome of mill
tary service were more than balanced
by pride in the patriotism and manly
aspirations shown by their sons!
Al honor to the employers who re-
membered that the government
whose protection made it possible for
them to engage in business was esta-
blished by righteous war, and who
contrived to accommodate themselves
to the inconvenience caused by en-
ployees serving in the militia and
gave words of encouragement to their
young men to serve their State and
country!
All honor to the snow-hairad We
terans who are saluting the trim
young men of oregon as they march
to their camp of mobilization!
All honor to the pioneers of Ore
gon, who this week gather at the
campfire of "reminiscences and ming
led their stories of the past with the
glory of the young men whose en-
campment is in the vigorous morning
of life!
All honor to those who paid the
great price-the mothers whose sons
are sleeping in the hillsides of dis
tant lands where they feel nobly in
loyal fulfilment Of duty to flag and
country!
We salute ye, young men of Ore
gon; our beloved country is safe so
long as you rally to the trumpet call!

CROPS BENEFIT
FROM HEAVY RAIN
Reports From Over County Indicate
Little Damage Done But Bump
er Crops Are Assured.-Hail
Harms Very Little.

The heavy rain storm which visited
Morrow county the first three days of
this week has benefited the crops
greatly and will increase the yield
thousands of bushels. This is the
general report from over the county.
After the clouds had cleared away it
was found that no serious damage
had been done.
About noon on Monday, Heppner
was visited with a severe wind, rain
and hail storm and chunks of ice a
half-inch in diameter fell. Fruit
and garden stuff in town suffered
somewhat from this storm, but indi-
cations are that the hail fell only in
and near Heppner. Some excitement
was caused to residents of Chase
street when the water, several feet
deep came down Donaldson canyon.
The Chase street channel could not
carry all the water and as result the
banks overflowed and large portion
Of the water ran down Chase street.
No damage was done by this, how
ever.
Probably the most serious loss sus-
tanned was to creek farmers who had
just cut their alfalfa and had not yet
got it in the stack. Yet the damage
done on the creek was more than Off
set by the great good done to the
grain on the hill. w. 0. Minor, pro-
Iprietor Of the Mountain Valley Stock
Farm, states that for every ten cents
he was damaged he was benefited a
dollar. He regrets very much that
reports have gone out as they have.
| Farmers over the entire county are
| iubilant. Crop prospects we're never
better. One Eight Mile farmer said,
"this rain is the best thing that could
have happened; it has practically in
sured bumper crop and the snring
4 'Tgrain. which had not grown fast on
account of the backward spring, will
probably make better crop now
than the fall-sown grain"
So far as reports go, the stock of
the county did not suffer from the
storm CELSIUS Keithley's milk COW
was caught in draw where the wa
ter came down suddenly and she was
washed out into the Willow creek
channel before she finally got out.
The COW was cut by barbed wire, ac-
cording to the report.
Some damage was caused to roads
where the water came down the gull
lies and canyons, but such damage as
has been known in former years has
not been reported.

RESIDENTS TO
CELEBRATE At OAKS

County Re-Union Association will be
held at the Oaks Saturday afternoon
of July Sth.
This is the eighth annual meeting

Morrow county people to get together

happens to be in Portland on that
day, is cordially invited to meet with
the association.

CASTLE ROCK WOMEN
DIES IN PORTLAND

Mrs. Rose McCarron Marshall was
born in Monahan, county Tyrone, Ire
land, May gath, 1875. She died in
the Portland Surgical hospital last
Friday night at 900 O'Clock after a
short illness.
Mrs. Marshall was married at Ar
magh, county Armagh, Ireland, to
Mike Marshall, October Is, 1900, and
shortly after they came to the Uni
ted States, locating at Heppner. Since
their residence in Morrow county
they have lived on lower Willow
creek and at Castle Rock, where Mr..
Marshall was engaged in the sheep
business at the time of Mrs. Mar
shalls death. None Of her people
lived in this country.
Besides the husband, three child
ren survive. They are Charles John,
age ID; Cathleen Susan, age II; and
Robert James, years old.
The funeral was held in this city
on Monday afternoon from st. Pat
rick's Catholic church, Father Gala
CHER of Columbia University, Port
land, conducting the services in the
absence of Father P. ]. O'Rourke
Burial was made in the Masonic
cemetery.

! affliction.

more progressive. More money was
spent in making it representative
newspaper. But this did not avail.
The paper was doomed.
1t was doomed because it had been
acquired by man of vast power,
supposedly to serve merly that mans
interests and to help futher his plans.
The strange spectacle was presented
of newspaper backed by limitless
resources, declining steadily anil
rapidly in those things which make
a newspaper force in commu-
nity-the confidence Of its readers
and the influence it exerted upon
their thought and opinion.
Realizing this and disgusted with
his adventure into the field of news
paper making, Mr.. Hill killed the
Globe. Thereafter he sought public
understanding so far as he cared to
have it, through interviews and pub
lie addresses, always widely quoted
and commented upon by the press of
, the whole country.
TIL case of the st. Paul Globe af-
forded final proofs if any proof at all
were necessary that newspaper can
not exist, cannot grow, cannot earn
/ profits, unless it exists for public SER
vice. There must never be any
doubts, any misgivings, on the part
of its readers as to the motive back
of such service. And therein lies the
security of democracy, for an un.
controlled press is indeed democra.
cy's greatest asset.

Quite number of autoists are
planning to spend the day at the

Trail Work Begins In Columbia
Gorge Park.

Portland, June 22--The Forest Ser
vice has a crew of sixteen men build
ing new trail up the Eagle. Creek
Valley of the Columbia Gorge Park.
This is in accordance with al announ-
ment made today. Besides build
a number Of camp sites In order to
make the recreational features Of the
region available for public use.
This Eagle creek project IS the first
of many development plans to be
carried out for the park. The trail
will follow the Creek up the Oregon
National Forest, and then on to Wah-
tum Lake. From the Lake there is a
trail down Herman creek to the Her.
man Ranger Station and the Colum-
ba Highway, thus completing q
twenty-six mile loop. Parties wish
ing to make this loop trip can do so
in two days, camping over night at
Wahtum Lake. The Eagle Creek
work also comtemplates other trails
to points of scenic interest, and a
general preparing of the area for the
comfort and use of the public.
The whole area Of the Columbia
Gorge Park consists of $4,000 acres
along the Columbia River between
Eagle Creek and Viento, which was
set aside last December by order of
the Secretary of Agriculture for the
permanent use of the public as a
recreation park. The full develop
ment of the park will take several
years, and will include picnic grounds
many camp sites and additional trails
But it can be used this season in Its
present state. A water supply has
been installed and a sewer system
built. A ranger has been stationed
at Eagle Creek to look after the
grounds this season.

TWO lone PEOPLE
TAKEN BY DEATH
lone Correspondent.

Herbert w. Phillips died at the
home of his son-in-law, Waite Craw-
ford, on Saturday evening last, and
was buried at the cemetery at Morgan
ct 1900 a. m. Monday, June 18th.
He had been i'll but short time and
death was the result Of an organic
weakness from which he had suerffed
great deal during the past year but
from which he had apparently large
ly recovered. Funeral services were
held at the grave a short address be-
ing delivered by G. w. Reynolds, of
lone, who conducted the services.
Mr.. Phillips was native of England,
and was born near Croydon in the
County of Kent, and at the time Of
his death was 81 years, 10 months,
and S days Of age. He came to
Oregon in 1878 and settled near Cor
Wallis, later coming to Crook County
where he engaged in the sheep bust
ness, here he also married and then
moved to Morrow County, locating a
homestead near Ella. His wife and
son and two daughters suffered
death in the burning of the store and
residence at Morgan station some
two years ago, and this left him alone
with but one remaining member of
his family, Mrs. Waite Crawford, with
whom he has made his home much of
the time since. Mr. Phillips was a
good citizen and neighbor. He leaves
a small amount of personal property
besides his homestead of 100 acres
which he patented number of years
ago.
Mrs. r. F. Fraser died suddenly at
her home near Gooseberry on Tues
day evening, and arrangements have
been made for her funeral at the
graveyard near their place today.
Mrs. Fraser was formerly Lena Brock
and was raised in the home of Mr..
and Mrs. F. M. Holmes of this place,
from the age of six years. She is a
sister of Mrs. Harry Fletcher of lone.
She leaves besides her husband, three
children, the oldest being ten years
of age, and the youngest being an in
FAINT of six months. Her illness was
of very short duration and her peo-
pie were not aware of her condition
until it was reported that she was
dead. The funeral services will be
conducted by G. w. Reynolds, pastor
of the local Christian Church.
This has certainly been week OF
moisture, at least the past few days
have been wet ones, and as conse-
quence there is general rejoicing on
the part of the farming end of the
community. Those along the creeR
bottoms, however, are not quite sc
we'll pleased as a number had ha.
down and the wetting it has received
has done it no good. 1t would seen
now that the grain crop is assured
and nothing short of serious calam
ity of some kind will prevent al
abundant yield. The rains have com,
at an especially opportune time TO
the spring sown grain, and this will
now develop into a great crop. A
the greater portion of the grain |
spring sown, the benefits derive,
from the heavy rains of the past fey
days is incalcuable. So far as report
have reached here, there has been n,

Wheat City Batters Fail to Hit In
Pinches.-Rain Prevents
Fast Ball.

Heppner ball tossers and fans
journeyed through AZ miles of al.
kinds Of weather last Sunday to take
a second fall out of the Condor ag-
gregation. The return trip was made
through only one kind of weather,
however. 1t rained in. torrents all
the way home.
AS the umpire, our own Hugo Sic
bolds, started the game in motion,
rain drops began to gently fall and
almost throughout the entire two
hours of playing, Jupiter Pluvius
showed his disgust at the way the
Condor boys played ball.
Heppner was somewhat reinforced
by Hopkins, Rietmann and Cochran,
star infeld men of the lone team.
Rietmann, playing in center field,
succeeded in getting three hits out
of five times at bat. Cochran batted
five hundred per cent while Hopkins
got two walks. Fulwider met the ball
for long drive on three ocasions but
Brown, who played stellar game at
center field for Condor, pulled two Of
them down.
Heppner started the scoring and
led all the way through. The teams
were:
