Thursday June 22, 1905 Tbe city council should look after some of Heppner's bad side walks especially on Main street Heppner claims the distinction of having the largest bank deposits of any town of its size in the state of Oregon, For higher education in the United States John D. Rockefeller has given a plump $10,000,000. John says that not a dollar of this has been tainted. Heppner has some bad knockers and they are people who live right here. Heppner is a prosperous town and will continue to be as long as the people will allow it. A conserversative farmer says that the June rains will add $50, 000 to the pockets of Morrow county farmers this season. Not only will the quality of wheat be improved bnt the yield will be greatly increased. Secretary Taft in his Yale com mencement address made the state ment that trial ty jury even after centuries of operation was far from a success. There is twelve times as much human nature in a jury as in a judge. Dr. .Lane, Portland's new demo cratio mayor took his seat Satur day.

To make the matter short this road would be tributary to a dis trict 60 miles in length and at least 20 miles in width which to day would furnish 800,000 bushels of wheat arjd capable of produoing this much more besides the local traffic that would naturally come to the business of the road. The country is new and sparcely settled and would make rapid growth in population if there were proper transportation facilities. Today tbe people of this district are hauling their wheat by wagon and team for a distance of from five to 30 miles and this is so ex pensive that it is discouraging for the farmers who are favored with rich land, easy of cultivation and capable of producing immense crops. Even with the big handi cap of the long and 'expensive hauls these farmers are making money which would be impsssible if it were not for the fact that wheat can be easily and cheaply grown in this country which has been favored by nature. Not only would there be wheat to haul but this road would tap one of the finest timber belts in tbe Blue Mountains with only a short extecsion from the town of Hardman. If the road should reach Hard- man it would only be about 20' miles from a great coal field that i is now lying idle for the only rea son that it is now held back by the railroad interests that are too well known to need further comment. The idea that this road would injure the business interests of any town in Morrow county is without foundation. Instead of injury it would be of benefit. Agriculture is one of the greatest pillars upon which the whole country rests. Prosperity of the people engaged in agriculture means prosperity for the whole people, the lack of prosperity with the farmers aud tbe towns are first to feel the de- MINOE&CO.

The farmers and residen's jesid ing in tbe territory between Bla lock on the Columbia river and Hardmau in Morrow county are greatly interested in the proposed railroad through thia territory which has already been talked of considerably. Three meetings at three different places have been .alli for this week. The object of these meetings is to get acquainted with the situation and also to raise funds to establish a preliminary Mirvey. Morrow county's greatest draw back is her isolation and lack of trauspoitation facilities. Here is a vast territory almost large erjough ior a fctatp, with almost unlimited resources, with very fertile noil but greatly handicapped for the only reabon that we haven't the proper facilities for getting our products to the markets. A great many people are prone 1o think that tin proposed rail road is a visionary idea and as Mich are lnchm-d ta throw odd water ou the entf-rpnie by uif;king liilht of it. Proper iu 'ligation will how that the farmers have just grounds for their claims in asking for a road and can and will show that future business will some day warrant the construction of a line. The distance between Hardman and Blalock is between .10 and GO proposed Harlmin TJIalock r;i! road certainly need a railroad at if they will keep on poundi: gaway at it they will gt it some day.
