Press Assails Ambassador For Giving Out Garbled
 Statement

London The Thigh parsonage l ican press correspondents at the for. eign office and told them that war is impossible between Great Britain and the United States is no other than Sir Auckland Geddes, British ambas sador to the United States, accordin. to the Daily Herald today
 Sir Geddes had intended the con, ference to be the means of promot- ing closer understanding between the British and American peoples. It was for that reason, he emphasi that the fact that war between England and the United States is not only iIu- possible but unthinkabie.
 CALL IT FAKE"
 The British Foreign Office official ly informed the British press today that the United Press, an American news agency, was solely responsible for the flake" cablegram which re- suited in the Anglo-American war scare. All other news services and newspaper were exonerated.
 The Foreign Office issued it's state ment after the complete text of the
 
 States had been received here from the British consulate in New York and carefully studied
 London press continued today to devote columns of news and comment to the incident and it was pointed out that the bedrock Of the whole affair rests upon the fact that the American News Agency mentioned by the Foreign Office had misquoted the British ambassador.
 There is another unfortunate result in addition to the unwarranted war scare" The misohievous misquo- tation of the British diplomat had tended to cast reflection upon the accuracy of the American press Attack Interview Customs | Some Of the newspapers attacked d :! the custom of giving annonymous in- 1 terviewS under any circumstances and l the Times lectures the government upon it's methods of handling af- l fairs.
 Tt is intolerable," says the Times, that matters of such deep moment 1 should he handled in a way that would allow irresponsible correspond ents to misrepresent theIn.''
 The Morning Post says: "The pro- verbal common sense of the British and. American people is surely prooi against garbled cablegrams and scare headlines in some newspapers

Chicago If Edward Brisbane must be hanged Friday for the murder of William Mills, motion picture theatre manager, he wants the execution to take place in Grant Park instead of in the solitude of the jail, '.so that all the world may see,' said the con- deInned man in a letter to Sheriff Charles w.

GRAIN GROWERS MAN.
AGER VISITS BANKERS
Question of Financing Farmers, sIgners
Of Oregon Co-operatIye Grain Grow-
ers Contract. subject OF Discussion.

Edgar L. Ludwick, organization man
ager Of the Oregon Grain Growers as
sociauon arrived at Heppner this fore
noon from Condor, and today has been
N conference with the bankers OF this
city in regard to the financing OF the
farmers who are members OF the asso-
citation.
Mr.. Ludw!ek has already conferred
with the bankers of Sherman and Gill
lam counties and after giving them the
position Of the association he found
them ready and willing to extend inan-
ciaI aid to the farmers who have sign
ed the grain growers contract and he
fully anticipated the same would be the
case in Morrow county when the bank
Iers had gone over the situation with
him.
According to Mr.. Ludwick there will
be no difficulty whatever In properly
financing the crops of the members.
The association will work in harmony
with the banks and Just as far as pos
sible il will be left to the local fnan-
cial institutions to handle the paper in
the regular order OF business just as
they always have. All transactions in
wheat will receive the usual advances
and arrangements viii be such as to
assure proper returns in cash upon the
deposit of the grain receipts, which
can be used as collateral as hereto
fore. We understand also that banks
holding mortgages against grain will
ha ff1llU nrntHpfEd a. haufro "a Ara
lien, a question that should not have
arisen on account Of the grain growers
contract as that could not come in
ahead of the mortgage under the laws
Of the state.

ager of the Oregon State Fair, was on
Saturday last unanimously elected gem

charge of all the business of the as
sociation but the selling end in the
state of Oregon. The Offices of the as

is now in the east arranging for the
financing Of the grain handling.
Mr.. Ludwick reports that already one
cargo of wheat has been disposed of
by the association and two more have
been ordered. Thissfrst cargo will net
the growers a considerable advance in
returns over what they might have re-
ceived under the old manner Of grain
handling, and from what we are able
to gather in talking with Mr.. Ludwick.
the members of the association will
stand to gain considerably this season,
though the best results from the coop
erative marketing of the grain under
the association will be after the same
has been in operation for a season or
two and all details worked out and
systematized.

the same to take effect Immediately
MIR. Hunt will continue on the Job

agent and we believe that it will devel-

lines Of work to look after during his
incumbency, The farmers of the county

GOOD CROPS REQUIRE
A GOOD CELEBRATION

Professor Hyslop who has been GER
tifying grain in Morrow county the
past few days in the north end of the
county states that he has never seen
anything like it in this country-we
know that our yield this year will
eclipse all past history.
LET'S CELEBRATE!
Oh yes, it is all well enough to go
to the mountains, but this time why
not have a real time
We have every reason to believe that
the Chautauqua this year will be real
treat Here are some of the leading
features:
William e. Thompson who was dep
uty relief commissioner to the Balkins
will speak upon the financial and polit-
ical problems Of those states and will
also discuss the attempt Of the Bolshe-
vik to over run the country. This will
be worth hearing.
The Glen Morris company will pre-
sent something both novel and instruc-
tive in their scientific illustrated lee
ture. An electrical current will pass
through mans body to light a lamp
and weld metal Tightening displays
and thunder storms and other startling
exhibitions will also be on the program
Thornton Mills will probe to the bot
tom the sore place in American life
Come and see the other fellow get his
Warden J, D. Bodkin. warden of the
Kansas State Pententiary will bring
US the picture of the other side Of life
Maybe we won't care to see the picture
of the results of our civilization He
will give the results Of his observations
along the line OF prison reform cause
Of crime, percentage of women prison
ers, prevention of crime, and a score
Of interesting side lights on the pris-
oner's point of view. Let's hear him.
No the children are not going to be
forgotten and this year they will have
greater attention than in time past.
Every day at 10 a m. they will have a
time all their own. A real story lady
will be on hand with at least two as
sistants. Lots of fun for the little
folks. Give them a chance.
These are only a few Of the real
treats that await US when the big tent
goes up, We can all work better and
will all feel better and-yes, we will
all be better by taking time off to 60.
Not another chance like this for a
year.
