Judge Lowell of Pendleton
Has Been Secured to De-
liver Grafton.

Announcement comes from lone
this week that that city has fully de-
termined to celebrate the 4th of July
this year, and as indicative of the sue
cessful observance of the Nations

Picnic Big Success.

The 4th Annual Morrow County
Farmers Union Picnic which was
held in this city Saturday was a big
success. A large crowd was in at
tendance and barring the weather,
which was little unpleasant, the day
passed in most satisfactory manner.
A very interesting program was
held at the Fair pavilion and the fea-
ture of this event was the debate on
the road bonding measure between
c. P. Strain, county ASSESSOR of Una
tilla county and w. L. Thompson,
Pendlet0n banker and member Of the
State Highway Commission. Both
gentlemen presented some strong
facts re1ating to this subject and as
a result the many people who heard
the debate went home thinking on
the subject from angles they had not
before considered.
The dance at the pavilion in the
evening was attended by one of the
largest crowds of the season. Par
sons novelty orchestra of Portland
furnished the music and appeared at
their best.

ROAD BOND BILL
CARRIES IN STATE
MultnOmah County Gives Measure
Sufficient Support For 1t to Win.
Prison Bill Is Defeated. Port
Measure Wins by $4,000.

Complete returns from the entire
state with the exception of four coun-
ties, give the road bond issue ma
jority of nearly 10000. 1t is believed
that the final total may reach $4,000,
as a majority vote cast in favor of the
$6,OO0,OoO bond issue.
The amendment to authorize ports
to encourage water transportation
by subsidies when approved by the
voters of a port district, is a measure
that is coming out victorious. In
complete returns on this measure
give it a lead of 1894.
Probably what will prove the most
popular measure on the ballot is the
proposition to combine city and state
elections. All returns are not yet
in, but the incomplete figures give
this measure majority of 29,35O.
The other successful measure appears
at this time to be the Uniform Tax
bill.
The defeated measures are the
Limiting Bills in Legislature and In
creasing Pay of Legislators measure,
the Declaration Against Implied Re-
peal, and the measure calling for a
100000 tax levy with which to
build new penitentiary.

Liberty Loan Campaign
To Open Here June l6

Heppner will be thoroughly aroused
to the Liberty Loan situation on Sat-
urday evening, June 16. At that time
the people of this community will be
addressed by F. A. Freeman, vice.
president Of the Lumbermen's Trust
Co., Portland; G. G. Chapman, editor
of the Oregon Voter and S. H. Clout-
ier, manager of the Multnomah Hotel
Co., of Portland.
To date but little interest has been
displayed by Heppner people in re-
gard to the Liberty Loan. Many peo-
pie have an idea that only capitalists
are investing in the loan, but such is
not the case. In fact, 1t is the peo-
pies loan pure and simple. The gov
ernment desires to get as many ten,
twenty, fifty and hundred dollar buy
ers at possible. There is little doubt
but what Heppner people will re-
spond more readily than they have,
after hearing what these gentlemen
from Portland have to say. The pa
triotic duty now confronting them
will be made more obvious than ever.
Its a time for every man with the
means to loosen up his purse strings
to generous degree.

THE RED CROSS

By Ivy HOutz Woolley.
Into the world a waif was. born,
A little straggler, weak and pale;
Neglect showed In her trembling
Her lips suppressed an inward wall.
She wandered near tho haunts of
men,
Sad eyed, yet ever hopefully;
She gaved upon the thoughtless
throng
For one who might her helper be.
As time passed on a few there were
Who fingered for a little spell
To look into her pleading face
And say kind words and wish her
well.
One day the sound of marching feet,
The clang of armor's heavy steel,
Aroused within the heart of her
A mystery which angels feel.
She followed to the battlefield,
And with strong hands decreased
wars tolls;
She lifted up the dying heads
And caught the smiles from waiting
souls.
And then 1t was that all men saw
The reason for her courage great:
They came In hosts to do her wish,
And still they come-'Tis not too late
Into the world waif was born
More precious far than wealth is
She
The queen of every battlefield,
The savior of humanity.

bought 400 acres of fine wheat land
from Chas. Valentine. The land is
situated six miles below Heppner and
is only part of Mr.. Valentines hold
ings. Mr.. Valentine has been farm
ing with his son but inasmuch as he
expects his son to be called for wor
duty at any time, he is preparing to
meet all emergencies and will now
be in a position to farm his remain
ing GAO acres without hiring very
much help.
In the land purchased, there are
200 acres of wheat that is up and
growing fine. Mr.. Akers expects an
excellent yield this year. He recent
ly purchased a piece of farm land
north of lone which he has sown to
barley. This also will make good
yield, according to Mr.. Akers.

spectfully request all the business
houses to close at noon on Saturday,
June 9, and to remain closed until

FOR WAR DUTY
War Census Day Brought Forth Lar
ger Per Centage Of Fighting
Force Than We Thought
We Possessed

War Census day passed off in Nor
row county without a hitch last Tues
day and all day long, young men Of
the prescribed age were coming into
their various precincts to get properly
signed up with Uncle Sam.
Although Tuesday was the day for
registration, a large number of men,
in order to comply with the law, reg
istered before that time. For several
days previous, the Office of county
clerk Waters has been the scene of
registration activity. To date moth
ing has been heard of any slackers,
and 1t is Safe to presume that this
species of National pest does not in
fest the hills of Morrow county.
Reports from the country at large
indicate a successful day of registra-
tion. Reports from 40 states to the
war department Tuesday evening
showed the registration a complete
success. Also there was no serious
trouble anywhere in the country, ac-
cording to the reports received by
Provost Marshal General Crowder.
Officials have expressed the opinion
that the anti-draft propaganda which
had been given wide circulation dur
ing the past week, had utterly failed.
The registration was surprise
in this county, the total number
enrolled being 621.

TRAVELLING MAN VIC.
TIM OF AUTO WRECK

Coroner M. L. Case was called to
near Olex Sunday on account of the
death of w. c. Dawson, a travelling
salesman from Portland.
1t appears that Dawson's car was
turned over when it hit sandy place
in the road, after the machine had
run up onto a steep bank. The un-
fortunate man was pinned under the
back of the seat. According to Mr..
Case, 1t was a plain case of suffoca-
tion, and the appearance of the man
was not unlike one being hung.
Mr.. Dawson had been in Heppner
only a few days before the accident,
and he was one of the popular men
on the road.

feated.

Morrow county voters cast far
more negative than affirmative votes
at the special election held last Mon
day. Only one proposed measure re-
ceived the endorsement of local vo-
ters. The lucky bill was that one
which would require election of city,
town and state officers at the same
time. The final count on this meas
ure stood 618 yes and 800 no.
The most badly defeated measure
was that one limiting the number Of
bills introduced and increasing the
pay of legislators. This measure was
numerically showed under In the
county, there being only. 1876 affirma-
tive votes cast as against 1859.
The Road Bond Bill. around which
most of the interest of the election
seemed to center, was defeated in the
county by 1856 votes. 1t was believed
all the time that the vote on this
measure would be close here. The
farming element was pretty solid
farming element was pretty well
lined up against the bill. although
the result shows that they did not
vote solidly against it.
All other measures on the ballot
received a discouraging vote in this
county.
About fifty per cent of the normal
vote of the county was cast at the
election Monday.
