ALEX BRANDER WAS FIRST
IN WAR AND IN PEACE

Alexander Brander of Heppner
makes specially of being first in
everything he undertakes. He was
the first Heppner boy to go overseas.
He served with the first engineers of
the first division of the first army.
He was the first Heppner soldier to
be wounded in combat and the first
to be returned to the United States.
He was the first to be discharged and
was among the first to be sent to the
Oregon Agricultural college for voca-
tional training and is the first to fin
ish the training.
Brander specialized in animal hus-
bandry while at o. A. C. and main
tained his record of being first thru
out the entire course. He had fui,
charge of feeding and caring for the
sheep which o. A. G. entered in the
Pacific Livestock show at Portland
last November. In competition with
breeders from all over the northwest
Brander brought home first prize for
the college. His major professor was
so imposed with his excellent work
that he was urged to remain in col
lege and take degree course, but
the call of the open is strong in this
Scotchman's heart and he has just
returned to Heppner and the life he
likes best. And though his body is
marked by shrapnel and the doctors
have listed him as partially disabled
Brander's friends are certain that he
will continue to be first in whatever
he undertakes.

OPTION IS TAKEN ON
NEW FAIR GROUNDS
Big Meeting Is Called in Heppner
for Saturday, February II, When
Reorganization VIII BE Effected
VIII BE Incorporated For $780,
900.

The Morrow county fair will be an
expaned institution. This has been
fully determined by an enthusiastic
group of live wire business men, far
mers and stockmen, who have been
busily working the past few weeks
for the reorganization of the Morrow
County Fair association.
These men met with the Morrow
county court last week and the result
of that meeting was most successful.
The court, which has been assuming
the financial burden of the fair in
past years, has agreed to turn over
the responsibility to the new organ
ization, but has agreed to invest an
amount equal to the sum represented
in the value of the present fair
grounds; into new grounds. Then
the court will lease the grounds to
the fair association at yearly rental
of $500.
An option was taken on about 23
acres of fine bottom land belonging
to Wightman brothers, and situated
two miles below town. This land is
said to be ideally situated for fair
ground A spur track can easily be
built from the railroad, which traver-
ses one side of the land, and will
greatly facilitate the handling of
stock and other exhibits The ground
also borders on the Oregon Washing
ton highway. Excellent camping
grounds may be laid off and an ideal
park constructed. The stated con-
sideration for the land is $4,000. The
tract is sufficiently large to permit a
half mile race track, a grand stand
and the many buildings demanded for
the operation OF successful county
fair.
The option given by Wightman
brothers to protect them against loss,
pending the reorganization of the
fair association, was signed by a
number of farmers, stockmen and
business men Of Heppner. They
we're: NJ d. Clark, Chas. Thomson,
w. P. Mahoney, s. e. Van Vactor,
Frank Gillian, w. 0. Minor, E. r..
Huston, l., A. Hunt, l.. II. Padberg,
A. Henriksen, II. f Tash, Phil Cohn
and T ]. Humphreys.
A big meeting of citizens has been
called for Saturday, February 21, at
the court house in Heppner, and in
vitations are being issued to every
section of the county to send dele
gates to this meeting. 1t is hoped
by Mr.. Henriksen, Mr.. Hunt, Mr..
Huston and number Of others who
haye taken leading part in working
for a bigger fair, that the re-organi-
cation may be completed at this meet
ing. In the meantime, subscription
lists are being prepared and every
citizen of the county will be given an
opportunity to buy stock in Morrow
county's new $4,000 fair associa-
ton.

AUTO SHOW WILL Be
LARGEST IN WEST
Passenger Cars and Trucks of Nearly
All Makes and Models VIII Be on
Display When Portland Automobile
Show Opens Doors Last of Month.

Portland, Greg, Feb. 11.-Some
idea Of the size OF the big automobile
snow to be held in Portland the entire
week of February 23rd to 2Sth may
/ be gained from the fact that the Ice
Palace, where the motor car part of
the show will be held, is the largest
SHOW room on single floor in the
United States. Its $50 K 130 feet,
without single post to obstruct the
view, give more space than is avail
able for cars even on the main floor
OF the huge Coliseum Building, in
Chicago, which is 300 < 120 feet in
| size.
But large as it is, the Ice Palace
can accommodate only the passenger
car section of the Portland show. A
year ago, both passenger cars and
trucks were shown on the same floor.
This year there are SO many passen-
ger car exhibits, and so many special
models, that the Ice Palace will be de-
voted exclusively to passenger cars,
while trucks will be exhibited in a
separate truck show in the Portland
Armory, few blocks away.
The passenger car show in the Ice
Palace will be by long odds the most
complete ever held in the Pacific
Northwest, and the truck show will
be the first exclusively truck event on
lhe Pacific Coast. Both will be under
management of the general show
committee, and one ticket will admit
visitors to both shows without addi-
tional cost.
In the passenger car show there
will be total Of So different makes
of cars, to say nothing of the fact that
at least 176 different models will be
shown. The Portland show will con-
tain almost as many different makes
of cars as were exhibited at the recent
New York show, the big event of the
year in motordom.
Eighty diffrent makes Of cars were
shown there, as compared to So at
the coming Portland show.
There will also be so different ma
kes Of trucks, and approximately 100
different models, on exhibition in the
truck show.
The committee in charge of the two
Portland shows is composed of II. H.
Eling, chairman; H. NJ. Covey, A. S.
Robinson and NJ. 0. Wilkins. There
is also special entertainment COM
mittee which has made elaborate ar
rangements for musical programme,
and has expended large sums for de-
corating the Ice Palace TO the passen-
ger car show.
