RALPH BENCE BUYS
RANCH FROM MINOR

A deal which took place this week
and in which three men participated,
has to do with the TIA. .sfering of
Walla Walla prope; y, Heppner city
property and the u. 0. Minor Noun
tain Valley Stock Farm just below
Heppner Ralph Benge has pur-
chased the Mountain Valley Stock
Farm from W. O. Minor and in the
deal, Mr.. Minor took in the residence
property of Mr.. Benge in Walla Wal
la. Mr.. Minor in turn traded the
Walla Walla property to c. E. Jones
for Mr.. Jones property in Heppner.
Mr.. Benge, who until recently was
an extensive wheat farmer of this
county, had been looking around for
some time for a suitable small farm
close to Heppner and he finally set
upon the Minor ranch as being ideal.
MIR. Jones, who figured in the deal,
will move shortly with his family to
Walla Walla to reside. The Gilbert
Hunt Manufacturing Company of
Walla Walla has made a contract
with Mr.. Jones for manufacturing
the Jones Weeder and this has made
it necessary for Mr.. Jones to be near
the plant.

We are at war. This fact was
brought home to us Enthusiastically
clear Wednesday morning as sixteen
stalwart young men, representing As
per cent of Morrow county's first quo
ia to the new National Army, board
ed the train for the big army camp at
American Lake, Wash
The enrrainment was one of the
most impressive scenes witnessed in
Heppner in many day and a multi
tude of people were at the depot to
wish the boys good luck and God
speed on their journey which will ul-
timately land them on the battle
fields of France.
Words of patriotism, filed to the
brim with optimism and cheer were
spoken by Mayor Notson, Father P.
]. O'Roukre and Rev. H. A. Noyes.
In the words of President Wilson,
Father O'Rourke told the boys that it
was their privilege to participate in
the great war which will determine
the rigrts of smaller nations, the laws
under which those nations are to be
governed and by whom the laws are
to be made. He admonished the
young men to ever remember their
Creator, to live in Faith and Hope.
That they should be inspired to this
new duty as the patriots of Bunker
Hill were inspired, was the belief of
Father O'Rourke and he assured the
departing soldiers that wherever they
may 60, the minds and hearts of their
people here at home 60 with them.
Rev. Noyes brought forth burst of
applause when he said that he hoped
1t would be the privilege Of the Nor
row county contingent to carry the
old flag through the streets of Ber-
lin.
Smiles mingled with tears, but
through 1t all, the boys kept in a jol-
ly mood and said the last good byes
with smiling faces that will remain
with the folks at home until the boys
all return again. Just before the
train pulled out, three cheers and a

at the county fair the past few years
viii realize the truth of Mrs. Weth-
erred's statement. Mr.. Minor takes
q keen interest in the fair and he
realizes the value of the institution.
1t is not that Mr.. Minor raises hay,
grain, fruits or vegetables that rank
SO much higher than anyone else, but
the success which he achieves, and
much credit much be given Mrs. Mi
nor, is the spirit with which he enters
into the fair and the zeal with which
he goes about putting his stuff up for
the view of the public. The dahliah
exhibit Of Mr.. and Mrs. Minor brought
forth many expressions of wonder
ment and praise. One young woma,.
was heard to remark that surely the
flowers were not grown in this coun-
ty. She was assured that they were
and finally she had to confess that
none better were grown in Multno-
nah county. The Minor exhibit con-
tanned hundred and one things
which nearly every farmer could ex-
hibit, If he would only take the in
terest and the time to fix them up.
Cecil Exhibit Varied.
The Cecil exhibit was varied, con-
tanning all those products which
abound on an Eastern Oregon farm
Calling attention to the productivity
of the Cecil country was the train
loaded with food supplies for the al
lies in Europe. Another good thing
Cecil has. which was not on exhibit,
is q home guard. fully equipped and
ready for instant service.
Interest Lacking in Stock Exhibit.
Interest in the live stock exhibit
was shown from the few farmers
who took enough interest to bring In
their stock. Governor Withycombe
paid a high tribute to Morrow county
as q stock producing country, and
pUineXs out the fact that there are
no finer horses and cattle raised In
the state of Oregon than right here.
Yet he was disappointed In the show
ing made at the county fair. Gov
ernor Withycombe urged the farmers
to take a greater interest in the stock
exhibits. Some of the stockmen who
took blue ribbons in this department
were D. S. Johnson of lone, Black
Horse Belgian Horse Co., of Heppner,
w. T. Scott of Heppner, c. W. val
entine, Heppner, L. Reaney and A
