The Heppner Gazette Issued Thursday Morning. Warnock fc Michell. Entered at the Postoftiee at Heppner Oregon, as second-class matter. - Thursday Oct. 30, 1902 ITeppner ought to have a com mercial club or improvement asso ciation. Now would be a good time to organize. Oregon farmers have money to burn and the hop men have money to throw away. A polk county hop man recently threw away $100 in nickels just to see children scramble for them. Looks like prosperity. Attorney-General Blackburn has rendered an opinion to Governor Geer, in which he holds that the initiative and referendum amend meut is now in effect, and that the people can avail themselves of its provisions, without any legislation prescribing a mode of procedure other than that prescribed by the amendment itself. H. W. Corbett, president of the Lewis and Clarke Fair, at a recent meeting of the ways and means committee, said if the people of Oregon would not give 500,000 the proposition of holding the 1905 fair should be considered no farther. The people of Oregon should carefully consider this matter of appropriation for the fair would be of great benefit to Oregon. The enterprising town of Wes ton, Oregon, has an association known as the Weston Improve ment Association. It is an organ ization in which the people get to gether and woik for the advance ment of Weston. Weston is a live town, made so by its enter prising residents and backed up by natural advantages. Many other towns in Oregon would do well to follow the example of Weston. The Chinese government's latest census of the population of China proper gives the number of in habitants as about 426,000,000 souls, which is only 13,000,000 more than the Chinese figures for 1842. The Chinese figures for 1882 were 380,000,000. China proper is less than half as large as the United States without Alaska, and yet it contains as many people as the whole of Europe, and nearly ?ix times as many as there are in the United States. If the whole f the population of the United States and 40,000,000 more were crowded into the state of Texas, the density of population would not equal that of the Yang-tse Valley and of the plain extending north and south between the lower courses of the "Yang-tse and the Hoang Rivers Ex. It is estimated that there are 03,000,000 sheep in the United states. It is also estimated that shoddy wool to an amount that equals the fleeces of forty million of these Bheep is being used in this country. The public does not real ize the extent of the shoddy wool fraud. Old woolen goods from the rag piles, from the hospitals, the asylums, the pesthouses, every where are gathered up by the rag men and sold to these concerns and they are worked over and the rot ten, infected fibre is mixed with pure wool and made into wearing apparel and sold to the public The woolgrowers will at-k the next congress to pass a law compelling all who engage in the manufacture of woolen goods from shoddy ma terial to mark their goods "shod dy," the tame as oleomargarine is marked. It is claimed that infec tious diseases are transferred over the country through the sale of shoddy goods. Ex. A receut bulletin of the United States Geological Survey, gives facts as to the great extent of the Cascade Range Forest Reserve. The area of the reserve, including the recent additions, is 7,254 square miles. It is the largest of all the reserves, extending from Columbia River on the north southward to the California boundary. The to tal area of the reserve is 4,883,588 acres, of which 4,161,70-4 acres, or 85 per cent, are forested; only 8 per cent., or one acre in twelve and one-half, is burned; only 5 per cent., or one acre in twenty, is open country; and one per cent, of the land consists of barren rocks, ice, etc., the remaining one per cent, consisting of water Burface and of logged and cultivated land. The total stand of timber upon the reserve slightly exceeds 50,000 million feet B. M., or enough to supply the U. S. for a year and a-half. Upon the west of the Cas cade Range red fir forms 63 per cent, of all the timber. East of the range yellow pine constitutes 37 per cent, of the timber. The average stand of timber upon the timbered area of the reserve is 8, 200 feet per acre. LEXINGTON NEWS. Lexington, Oct. 29, 1002. The Lexington football team will be put in training soon.

MINOR & CO. j1 I It has Come to tlie Front. The rapidity with which the Disc Gra phophone has come to the front is due to the fact that the quality of the records hai been constantly improved, from the time this type of machine began to be made by the Columbia Thonograph Company, the pioneers and leaders in the talking machine art. The advant ages of flat, thin and indestructible re cords toere always recognized but the manufacturers who attempted to make them failed so lamentably in producing anything to compare with the cylind rical records used on the eraphone that the demand for them was uni i portant. All that is changed; the -Columbia Disc Records are a delight. If vou haye not heard them you can form no idea of the advance that has been made in them. The disagreeable scratch and the muffled effect has been replaced by a smoothness, naturalness and brilliancy which gives to their reprodution a most charming effect. The Disc Graphophone is made in three types, selling at $15, 20 and $30. Seven inch records 5oc each, $5 per dozen; 10 inch records $1 each, $10 per dozen. TheGraphopbone and Columbia records were awarded the Gand Prize at the Paris Exposition of 1900.
