of Augustus Pitou, will play an en-
gagement at the Opera House here on

laid away back in the latter part Of
the eighteenth century. The action
of the play transpires within forty
eight hours Act one is in the main
hall of the o Neil castle, late in the
afternoon The second act takes
place in. the castle grounds on the fol
lowing day, late in the afternoon, and
the third early next morning in tne
castle hall.
or course Mr.. O'Hara plays the
hero-Larry O'Neil-a rollicking
smiling youth full and life and unmar-
ried. His grandfather. however. has
chosen the girl he must wed. Larry
has been away from Ireland for about
ten years and is ABOUT 10 return.
Mr.. OHara has written five new
songs which he sings during the
course OF the play. among which are
BE Sure and Kiss the Barney
Stone" "Mollie Mine" Hearts De
sire" and That's How the Fairies
Came to Ireland" The cast includes
such we'll known names as Pirie Bush,
J. p. sullivan. VIM. T. Sheehan. J. l.
Miller, Patricia Clary, Elizabeth
Paige, Lisle Leigh and Lou Ripley.
The scenic and light effects are sup
erb and in keeping with all Mr. Pitou's
productions.

WALLOWA COUNTY
TOWN WELL NAMED

A representative of the Gazette
Times had the pleasure of visit of a
couple of days last week at Enterprise
in Wallowa county. Nestled over
among the Powder river mountains,
in one Of the richest valleys of the
entire state, Is this little city of En-
terprise, and it is properly named.
Busting enterprise is noted on every
hand and the citizens of the place are
up and acoming for everything that
puts their town to the front. At this
place is located one of the largest yell
low pine lumber mills in the state, an
institution that maintains large pay
roll and has added some 500 people
to the population of Enterprise.
Much very substantial building is be-
ing pushed to completion, and it was
indeed great surprise to one who
had never visited the Valley before
to note the evidences of prosperity

A very pleasant visit was enjoyed
with Editor Geo. P. Cheney, of the
Record -Chieftain, who is the proud
possessor of the finest little printing
plant to be found anywhere in the
state and located in fine new build
ing constructed just right for the
business. Editor Cheney has recent
ly installed latest model, multiple

begin the printing and publishing Of
a daily the first Of July, and the hus-
Ting citizens of Enterprise will help
him to make 1t success. One Is

county, as the natural scenery Of that
section can hardly be surpassed. A
snow storm prevented good view Of
the lake at Joseph and the surround
ing mountains, and the fact that we
missed seeing this will compel us to
take another trip over there some
future day.

Dear Editor:
1t occurs to me that some of your

We arrived in Rochester May 81

after our arrival we were pleased to

us that his wife had just undergone
a successful operation.
Monday morning at we were at

the most remarkable institutions of

LEXINGTON FORDS
WIN AUTO RACES
w. G. Scott Finds Younger Genera
tion But Little Faster Than The
Old-FOur Cars CONNECTED
For Prizes.

Two Ford cars from Lexington won
the first and second prizes offered by
the committee in the free for all
Fords race held in Heppner as a
special attraction last Saturday after
noon.
Ionic Copenhaver won first. going
over the rs mile course in the fast
time of SO minutes and "a seconds.
Had he not lost a tire about three
miles from the finish, he would have
undoubtly cut this time by several
seconds.
w. G. Scott of Lexington, who en-
tered the race to find out how much
faster the younger generation is than
the old, discovered that there is not
very large margin of the speed of
the two. He finished second, making
the run in SIS minutes and SIS seconds.
Mr.. Scott also had the misfortune of
losing tire about six miles from the
finish and this impeded his speed
somewhat at the finish.
E. j. Starkey, who entered the on
ly roadster in the race, won third.
His time was 5S minutes and sec
onds. Roy Cochran and Henry Cohn
in the Cohn Ford took fourth place.
Their time was SO minutes and 10
seconds. The Cohn car experienced
considerable lung" trouble and fin
ished in thoroughly exhausted con-
dition. 1t was by far the Oldest car
entered, but made an excellent show
ing nevertheless.
Mr. Copenhaver received $50 as
the first prize, Mr.. Scott was award
ed two Ford tires as second prize and
Mr.. Starkey was the recipient of one
Ford tire as third prize.

SLACKERS HAVE
HAD THEIR CHANGE
Law Will Now Take Its Course Re-
garding Those Who Failed To
Register-Oregon's Quota
Based on Census.

Portland, Ore, June IA, 1911
The period of grace for men of mil
itary age who failed for any reason to
register on War Census Day, is end
ed
From now on, every Stacker Is to
be hunted down without mercy. There
will be no leniency.
Governor Withycombe has received
official instructions from the Provost
Marshal General, at Washington, D.
c., that the most vigorous enforce
ment Of the penal clause of the law
will be required against all who have
not registered.
1t Is announced that the quota of
men to be drafted into the military
service from each state will be based
on previous census estimates, not on
the actual registration figures, which
In Oregon were slightly lower than
the estimate Inasmuch as the men
to be called are chosen by lot, the fail
ure of any man who should have done
so increases the chances against any
other man who did his duty and reg
istered.
For this reason, particularly, and
also as patriotic duty, every one of
the 62,S40 men who registered in
Oregon is asked to help in the drive
to round up the slackers.
Already the sheriffs, police officers
and precinct registrars have been di-
rected by the Adjutant General to
report all suspicious cases. But now
through the press. and in response
to official orders from Washington,
all men who have registered are ask
ed to aid in this Anti-Slacker cam
paign.
OF course, there may be few who
can present legitimate excuses for
not having registered. But they will
have to present them In court. The
time for leniency is passed, and i'm
prisonment faces those who tried to
evade their duty to their country.

LOCAL CHAPTER RAISES 100000
FOR AMERICAN RED CROSS SOCIETY

The Morrow County Chapter of
the American Red Cross Society
launched its membership campaign
in this city last Saturday and as a
result it now has a total member
ship of 431 and $1O49 in the treas
ury.
The results of the days work far
exceeded the hopes and expectations
of the most optomistic. Of the fund
raised, the largest individual a.
mount came in through the member
ship dues. The committee on mem
bership started to work early in the
day and had placed booths in the
hotel, bank and on the prominent
corners of Main street and each
booth had any number of busy wor-
kers who went out and rounded up
the members. A total of $6O6.SO
was brought in through the men,
bership campaign alone, and of that
amount. 5000 was for life member
ships. Those who have thus far
enlisted for lifd memberships are
Mrs. Bert Mason of lone and Mrs.
Phil Cohn of Heppner.
Through the entertainment which
was provided, largo crowd of peo-
pie from the surrounding country
was attracted here. The larger part
of them, as they later showed, were
attracted through their whole soul
ed interest in the Red Cross work.
By way of entertainment, a pro-
gram, patriotic in nature, was given
in the Fair Pavilion. The program
opened in the morning but owing to
the late hour, it was not presented
as had been previously arranged.
Therefore j. Alger Fee did not de-
liver his address on the Red Cross
until the afternoon session.

SHEEP ARE LEGAL
TENDER FOR AUTO

The present high price of sheep
has made these animals a safe and
convenient medium of exchange, as
is shown by deal made last week
when Harold Cohn took 100 head of
sheep from John Sheridan, in ex-
change for late model eight cylin-
der Oldsmoble.
The deal came about something
ike this.
What do you think of the new
Oldsmobile, john" said Mr.. Cohn.
Well l don't know havn't seen
the car yet said Mr.. Sheridan.
That's the car right over there"
answered Cohn, pointin out the flashy
new machine which stood on the
treet.
"How many sheep will you take
for it, said Sheridan.
"I'll take 110 hc..., says Cohn.
I'll give you an even hundred
head" replied Sheridan.
You're called" Cohn quickly ans
wers. And the deal was made.
Under the agreement, Mr.. Sheridan
is to take the sheep to the mountains
for the summer and in the fall de-
liver to Cohn, 100 head of ewes in
good condition.
Both men feel that they have put
over a good deal. Mr.. Sheridan has
got good car and Mr.. Cohn will have
a hundred head of sheep which are,
literally speaking, almost worth their
weight in gold.
