PROSPERITY THE ISSUE.
There is only one issue in the
comiDg National campaign. It is a
question of voting for or against
prosperity. This is the whole
thing in a nut shell. Not only
the truck farmer of New England,
but the wheat grower of Minnes
ota, the corn grower of Kansas,
the sugar grower of Louisiana, the
cotton planter of Georgia, back to
the wool grower of the "West and
the tobacco planter of Virginia
and Connecticut, way to the fruit
grower of California the capital
ist, the mill worker, the railroad
hand, the merchant and the clerk,
the professional man every one,
from the most elevated position to
the humblest must vote for or
against prosperity.
Our friends on the other side
are looking for an issue. They
need not worry, the issue is look
ing for them. Prosperity is the
issue, and all other questions are
secondary. The American stand
ard of living, American manhood
and American homes are but the
resultants of Republican legisla
tion, the sequences of a protective
tariff which brought to us and will
continue to give us an unprece
dented age of luxury, an un-
paralled era of prosperity.
France has a peasant problem
on her hands. There is danger of
a return of the conditions that
preceded the great revolution. The
rapid increase in the number of
large properties and the disappear
ance of the peasant's farm have
menaces which seem immediate
and far-reaching to Ludovic Gon-
tenson, writing in the Revue de
Paris. The whole tendency of the
times, this writer declares, is to
aggregate land into large proper
ties and force the peasants to be
come mere employes of the landed
proprietors, thus destroying their
independence as citizens. He of
fers no special plau for the solu
tion of the difficulty, but declares
that another gory revolution may
be the result of the constantly in
creasing influence and size of the
landed properties.

The Democrats view a good
many things with alarm, in their
platforms. If they would just in
clude Nov. 8th they would be
about perfect.
Ditch creek now has a large popula
tion, and wonderful are some of the
stories that come from the mighty
hunters and mountain climbers who are
enjoying the pleasures of the Blue
mountains. Lew Kinney is one of the
mightiest hunters and it is reported that
his escape from buck ague was miracu
lous one day this week. Lew ventured
from camp loaded down with artillery
and found four deer. It is said that the
leer actually laughed out loud as they
leisurely strolled away. Sam Van
Vactor rode one of Billy Spence's pack
mules over to "Hippopotamus," and
they eay that Sam hasn't done anything
since. Neither has the male. It is a
merry crowd at Ditch creek end they
are all having a good time.

GREAT REDUCTION SALE
Heppner, Oregon
Making room for the new fall and winter goods is a puzzling question that has to be settled each year,
and the only solution to it is to dislodge the summer goods. But how? Here we have it: Cut the prices
clear down below the profit line, deep into the first cost of the goods. Then they will move out, and do so
quickly, so that is what this grand Reduction Sale means. We have put the knife into the prices of every
thing in summer goods and cut them, regardless of cost or profit.
