the call of country is as the voice of
God-that it should take precedence
over all other earthly commands, so
now you are urged to come out and
help organize the Morrow County
Red Cross Chapter. The Red Cross
has a most important work to do.
Perhaps many of you recall Clara

victim of hard knocks. His son was
driving, and hitting a big bowlder
which had in some manner rolled in
to the road. the car came to an abrupt
stop. Mr.. Cox was pitched out Of the
car on his back. A few bruises and
some chagrin and discomforts were
the total casualties.

FORMER HEPPNER MAN
DIES IN PORTLAND
8. p. Garrigues Was In Business
Here for Long Number of Years
Heart Failure Was
Cause of Death.

S. P. Garrigues died in Portland
Friday morning. Death came to him
while he was standing In the front
yard Of his home, heart failure from
which he had suffered for a number
Of years, being the cause.
s. Parker Garrigues was born In
Delaware county, Pennsylvania, be-
T ing the son Of Benjamin D. and
Sarah N. (Pierce) Garrigaes. His
fsfher 6ied when Mi. axFrfsues Wis
eight years old, and consequently he
was thrown upon his own resources
early in life. He had but little
schooling, but through his industry
and studious habits made himself
we'll informed and educated. At the
age of IA, Mr.. Garrigues went to
Philadelphia, where he entered the
employ Of Strawbridge & Co., dry
goods merchants. Later he moved
to Alliance, Ohio. From Ohio he
came to Oregon and settled in YAM
hill county in 1872.
Leaving the Willamette Valley one
year later, Mr.. Garrigues came to
Heppner and embarked in the sheep
business. After a little while he
went into the sawmill and lumber
business in the upper Willow creek
regions with Julius Keithly. Mr..
Garrigues made considerable money
in this venture and later sold out to
A. M. Slocum.
In 1895, Mr.. Garrigues opened up
a hardware and implement store
in Heppner, bearing his name and
later his son Percy became interested
in the business which was thereafter
conducted under the firm name of
S. P. Garrigues and Son. In a very
short time the store built up a repu-
tation as one of the really big stores
of its kind in this section of Oregon.
A large part of the trade was with
the farmers and stockmen Of interior
Oregon. Owing to failing health,
Mr.. Garrigues was forced to seek a
different climate, and few years
ago he and his son sold their store to
F. P. Vaughn & Sons. Since that
time the family made their home in
Portland.
During his residence in Morrow
county@ Park Garrigues was favored
with many honors of political ma
ture. He was the first county clerk
of this county, having been appointed
by Governor Moody. Mr.. Garrigues
also served as member Of the city
council of Heppner and was ever
during his residence here, a promi-
nent figure in the social and business
life of the town.
The funeral of the deceased was
held in Portland last Saturday. He
is survived by his wife and son
Percy.
George Bleakman of Hardman was
in the city Wednesday.

THE WAY IT LOOKS.

From the manner the Germans are going after the Russians these days; the United States government might dc well to wake up and take notice.
 According to reports. the Germans not only captured Riga without meeting any resistance practically none-but are reported to have cap- tured thousands of prisoners because they sim ply would not make any effort to get away. it seems. A land attack was started. few sub marines came along the coast and together scared the iyers out of the Russians. Mean while where was the Russian fleet and the Brit ish fleet if one may ask.
 On the western front. the Germans have been falling back steadily for the last two months. apparently offering just enough resist ance to retard the advance of the allies.
 About the time the Germans began to fall back on the western front. it was reported they had drawn heavily from France to help the army in Russia. Germany having discovered that she could not possibly reach Paris and much less Lon don. concluded to turn her attention to Russia incite a revolution against the provisional gov ernnlent and otherwise create internal troubles thereby diminishing the Russian efficiency and increasing her own. Thus We reach the present stage of action.
 Now. and from this day on. Germany will go ahead in Russia without any serious obstacles until she has captured Petrograd and consequent + Russia. At the same time putting herself in position to secure pretty nearly the peace terms she wants. But this does not mean that Keren- sky and his followers are not sincere: and are not desirouS of continuing the war with the En- tente Allies. On the contrary. 1T only means that the faithful ones are in the minority due to the Germans underhanded work through her s@tra-ors Who have secured the control of the masses in 3 way that prevents concerted action.

THE WAY THEY DO THINGS

A short time ago the people of Seward de cided that the town had grown to such proportion that pesky dogs had become nuisances on the streets They immediately petitioned the coun- cil to take action When the question was taken up: one of the councilmen who is the owner of several dogs remarked that while he knew that if an ordinance enacted prohibiting dogs on the streets, he would be hit harder than any per son in town, but, since the people wanted them off he would move that an ordinance be passed at once to that effect. The ordinance was passed and today the streets of Seward are dogless. Ac- cording to reports, that's the way they do things in Seward. The majority rules.

When a business man has advertised his business for two years; and in those two years has built up business that compels him to stop advertising because as he says T cannot attend to it alls; a casual observer must conclude; first that it pays to advertise, and second; that there is room for another business along the same line.
