The Heppncr Gazette Issued Thursday Morning, Wavnoek & Michell. Entered at the PostofVioe Rt Heppncr Oregon, fis second-class matter. Thursday . .June 23. 1901 These cool mornings and even ings a little lire in tbe stove feels comfortable. The cool weather is helping out Morrow county's big wheat crop. The states of Utah, Wyoming, Kansas, Nebraska ami the territory of New Mexico have each warned Colorado not to dump her deport ed miners in their borders. The only thing left for Colorado to do is to haDg them, which she will proceed to do, if common sense doesn't step in and check the mur derous career of the millionaire mine owners. Ex. The Gazette understands that the proposition to move the Hepp ncr 1'ouring mills to IoDe is being reconsidered. Ileppner should en courage every industry and see that the mill is kept here. If the mill should go it will not only take this much away from the town, but it is very likely that it will affect the price of 11 jur and mill feed in such a nay as to not make it any cheaper. This is something that should not be passed over lightly. The following from the Ashland Tidings represents the sentiment of a great many people: "That the present registration law of Oregon is a useless institution as far as the smaller towns and cities and country districts of the state are concerned is conceded in many quai l en?, and there is not a little agitation in the country press of Oregon revived by the veeent plection, for its abolishment, or at least for the confining of itH ap plication to Portland and perhaps one or two others of the larger communities of the state. It whs euaetnl ns a measure to shut out illegal voting in the state. There is practically no chance for illegal voting anywhere in Oregon except in a city iike Portland; or perhaps in Astoria, where there is a con siderable floating population. Country people resent the exac tions of registration laws as an in fringement of their rights and as an uncalled for and unnecessary encumbering of the franchise. He sides, it is argued that the pro vision of the present law which al lows six freeholders to certify to the qualifications of an elector is a lame place that serves to often defeat the purpose of the law. This provision was made for the jelief of actual voters who might find it impossible to register during the time prescribed for registra tion and seemed just, but when op portunity is taken to abuse its privileges it thwarts all the pur poses of the law and allows any body and everybody to vote."

The drouthy conditions prevail ing throughout the state were par tially relieved by scattering show ers during the latter part of the week: but, as a rule, the amount of precipitation was not sufficient to do much good, aud more rain is badly needed for all crops. The extremely dry spell has had a damaging effect on spring grain, and in some sections it will be light in yield. Fail wheat and barley have headed nicely and a good yield of both of these cereals is promised. Haying is progressing rapidly under the favorable weather condi tions; the crop will be light, es peciallp west of the Cascades. The first cuttiug of alfalfa has nearly all been secured in good condition; the yield was above the average and the quality generally good. Pasturage continues in fine condi tion, but is beginning to dry up some. Stock is fat at:d the supply of milk in the dairj districts con tinues abundant, Gardens and root crops are mak ing slow growth owing to dryness of the soil. Early potatoes are do ing well and wiil soon be ready for marketing. Corn has not made much advancement owing to a lack of warm weather. The strawberry season is draw ing to a close. Jlaspberries and Kentish pherries are ripening nice ly and promise fairly good yields. Apples are doing well, but pears, prunes and peaches continue un even. oiti:(;'s ?uii i:niitt i-. Display at St. l.oui Attracting; Widespread Attention. Oregon's mining exhibit, while not as lurjre as some at St. I.ouis, is neverthe less complete in every detail and never fails to produce a favorable impression on World's Fair visitors. As with all other Oregon displays, ef forts have been made to make the show ings especially attractive. Some states have installed exhibits, which though complete and very lartre, are unattract ive and fail to secure the attention of sightseers. Exhibits above all must in terest people, and when they fail in that particular they cease to be a benefit to the state. The part of tbe Oregon mining exhibit that is most popular ia the display of free gold. But few states have good ex hibits of the yellow metal in its native condition, and Oregon is one of the number, Colorado has a magnificent display, probably the best on the grounds, while Utah and California also bave many nuggets on exhibition, One of tbe most intererting is a safe full of dust and nug gets from tbe Klondike, exhibited in tbe Canadian department. Tbe gold is in a s:ifo with heavy plate glass and steel Imrs in front. Heaped up around the hii ft- is ore of every kind, except in front, where an open plnce has been left for victors to net a look at the preciouH metal. Oregon's gold is on display in a show rase in a prominent place in the Mining Building, It consists principally of nug gets from various placer mines through out the state, in addition to free gold from quartz diggings. To Easterners, who seldom see gold, even in coin, the metal display is particularly interesting. In the center of the Oregon display a small pavilion has been erected, the out side of which is covered with quartz specimens from all parts of the state, Within, Superintendent Fred Mellis, of l'.aker City, who has charge of the exhi bit, has a small office where he enter tains visitors and tells them about the wonders of Oregon mines and the treas ures that remain buried underground in the Blue mountains and the Cascades. A large display of cinnabar, the min eral from which quicksilver is extracted occupies a prominent position in the showcases Cinnabar is found in but few places in the United States, and the Oregon display is good. The stone is gray, with pink streaks of sulphide of mercury, and is very pretty. Photographs of Oregon mines and large ore displays from all parts of the state go to make up the rest of the show. Considering the short length of tim that Oregon mines bave been extensive ly operated, the exhibit is excellent. Montana's mining exhibit is oneof the inoht interesting displays on the grounds because of the large copper showing, (ireat piles of the red metal are stacked up at each corner of the space occupied by the exhibit while samples from every p Art of the smelting process are shown for public instruction. A rebel map of Butte showing the different holdings of the Amalgamated Copper Company, F. Augustus Ileinze, and other operators attracts universal attention. The Mining -Building itself is very handsome, and is considered one of the best pieces of architecture on the fait irroundd. At each door stand obelisks which give the stiiictute (in Oriental ef fect that is very attractive. A:ii .ii m jiooi, ii:i:ti. I iiitsiinl Interest siutl I,are Cast. Vote 'A verv large vote was polled at the regular meeting fur the Ileppner dis trict which was held at the council chamber last Monday afternoon, and the interest taken was unusually great. Some time before the meeting was called to order the council was crowded and many were standing on the outside looking in at the door and through the windows. About L'O ladies were present and as they were tax payers most of them voted. Owing to the absence of E. M. Shutt, the outgoing director, J. M. Hager oc cupied the chair and called the meeting to order at 2 o'clock. The report of IHntrict Clerk L. W. I'.riggs was lead and approved. L. W. Uritigs was re-elected cleik by a unanimous vote. Py motion u was decided to keep the polls open until 4 o'clock. For diiector to serve a term of three years, J. K. Simons and Frank (iilliarn were placed in nomination. The result of the vote was: Simons, oS; (iilliarn S3.
