LIEUT.. ROTH, AVIATOR
HERE FRIDAY MORN
Program For Annual Fair Now Com
plete--Portland Flyer VIII Come
in Place of Buell., Injured
at Walla Walla.

Lieut.. Roth, Of the Portland Ace
Aircraft Corporation, will arrive in
Heppner Friday morning by the air
route, coming from Pendleton, where
he has been making flights the past
several days. Lieut.. Roth is an ex-
perienced army aviator and has TAX
en- a great number Of Pendleton peo-
pie up into the clouds since going to
the Roundup city. He comes to
Heppner in place Of Lieut.. Buell. of
Walla Walla, who was injured near
that city several days ago when he
made poor landing with his plane.
Lieut.. Roth will amuse and amaze
the fair visitors with his daring
stunts 1000 feet in the air. When
he is not making official flights for
the Fair Association, he will carry
passengers, at, we understand, ten
dollars a trip.
The airplane fights will add big
feature to the fair but there will be
other things of interest, by no means
the least of them being the exhibits
in the main pavilion.
The big parade of school children,
returned sailors, soldiers and mar
ines on the second day Of the Fair
will hold interest E. S. Liljeblad
has been training the children for
several weeks and it is expected they
will make a most creditable showing.
Heppner got a hint as to what the
school children can do when a few
years back, W. G. Scott brought a
large number of the youngsters up
from there and they took the prize
home for Lexington on that day.
Then the floats of the various busi-
ness houses and organizations, as
well as the farm tractors and live
stock will add to the completeness Of
this feature.
II people like diversity, then they
will find the 7th Annual Fair anti
cipating their desires. Broncho
busting and steer roping by exper-
fenced riders will give this occasion
Round-Upian phase that will un-
doubtedly prove a drawing card to
many who will be here for the three
days.
Aside from the amusement fea-
lures, which include the big street
carnival of the George T. Scott
shows, and other events heretofore
enumerated, the Fair will hold all
unusual educational value. The ex-
hibits will be attractive and instruct
i've. Speakers who are coming are
men who have spent years in their
chosen line. They are specialists.
They have made the farmers prob
lens their study of lifetime and are
coming here to aid in the solution OF
many of these problems.

Campbell's Band Is Bet
ter Than Ever This Year

Campbell's American Band, that
stellar musical organization which
has returned to Heppner and will

special soloist Mrs Edgar Allen Dens-

FRANK ANDERSON SDEATH
SEVERE BLOW TO COUNTY
Prominent Farmer and Banker Sue.
cumbs From Hemorrhage Fol-
lowing 0peration.--Had Re-
sided In Morrow County
For Many Years.

Morrow county mourns the loss OF
Frank Anderson, who's untimely
death occurred at the Heppner San
atorium on Friday afternoon, Sept.
s. following an operation, Mr.. An
derson entered the hospital Wednes-
day and the operation, which was for
ulcers of the stomach, was apparent
ly successful. A hemorrhage brought
on by coughing was the immediate
cause of Mr.. Anderson's death. AL
though blood transfusons were re-
sorted to, Mr.. Anderson failed to
rally and the end came about five
o'clock on Friday evening.
We doubt if there was ever more
useful citizen and man SO highly
respected generally, in Morrow coun-
ty, as Frank Anderson. His friends
we're legion and the fact that he had
been such a leader in agricultural al
fairs of the county, as we'll as a prom
nent business man, his loss will be
the more keenly felt.
Frank Anderson was native of
the state of Kansas, having been born
there in 1870. Coming west with
his parents, he settled in Morrow
county in 1888 and had lived here
continuously ever since. Frank spent
his boyhood days working on the
home ranch and later working out
for the neighborng farmers. Grow
ing into manhood, he assumed larger
responsibilities and accumulated
considerable farming land in late
years. The name of Frank Anderson
was a by-word for good farming, and
it was through these methods that
he had met with such marked sue
cess in the industry,
Besides being one of the largest
land owners of the Eight Mile sec
tion, Mr.. Anderson was vice-presl-
dent of the Farmers & Stockgrowers
National Bank of Heppner, having
been elected to that position at the
time the bank was organized. In
farm organizations Of the county, Mr..
Anderson had ever been an active
worker and was president of the re-
Gently formed Morrow County Farm
Bureau. He was also on several I'M
portant committees in connection
with the farm bureau work, and his
untimely death will be severe blow.
On December 20, 1914, Mr.. Ander-
son was united in marriage to MISS
Hilma Bergstrom, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Olaf Bergstrom of Eight
Mile, Besides the widow, small
son three years old and an infant
daughter survive. Five brothers, E.
A, of Enterprise, Ore, c. J, of lone
and Alfred, Ben and Howard of Eight
Mile, and a sister, Mrs. Martin john
son of Portland are the only sur
viving relatives of the deceased.
The funeral was held from the
First Christian church in this city
last Sunday, the Rev. T. S. Handsa-
ker delivering the sermon. The ser
vices at Masonic cemetery, where in
terment took place, were in charge
of the members of Willow Lodge No.
60, !. o. 0. f., Of which the deceased
had been q member.
The heartfelt sympathy of the en-
/ tire community goes out to the be-
reaved relatives in their hours of sor-
row.

AMONG THE BONES.

Foremost among the monumental
bones of the past season is the Tommy
Long case. Tommy is a young Mem
phis pitcher employing the left wing
for his livelihood and his record in the
American association this season has
not only been remarkable, but has been
one of the outstanding features of the
entire campaign.
He moreover has convinced Cy Bar

knew little or nothing about what he
was talking when he said that Tommy
wasn't there.
This last spring Long worked out
with the Chicks but wasn't good
enough for the club. He was offered
a small salary by Birmingham and
turned 1t down flat. Memphis then had
services but didn't even consider the
proposition.
Pat Flaherty came along as manager
of the Louisville Colonies and heard OF
the p~redicament. "Well," sighed Pat

for this league but you're good enough
