Thursday Oct. 26, 1905 Don't overlook Heppner. The bieest little town in En$t ernprego If yon want to build up Morrow county, patronize Morrow county people. Heppner's Commercial Club is moviDg right along on the road to success. This wet weather is making the farmers smile. It means a big acreage of wheat this fall. Morrow county's jail certainly must be an undesirable resort, It is either jailbreak or suicide The former recreation seems to be the most popular of late. The Central Orecon Star is the heading of a new newspaper ven ture at Fossil. The first number is neat and newsy and shows enter, prise on the part of the proprietor, The Bureau of the Census of the "United States Department of Commerce and Labor has issued a report which shows that the com mercial value of the railway prop erty in the United States is $11, 244,S52,000. Morrow county's showing of 13 more gold medals on wool than all the counties of Eastern Oregon combined is a strong showing. Forty-six medals on grain is proof of the importance of agriculture in this fertile district. Morrow county produces more wealth per capita than any county in the northwest. Latest advices from New York indicate that Hearst is digging big holes in the Tammany ranks in the mayoralty Sght. The munici pal ownership campaign is hot and heavy. Hearst has hired every union band and every hall in the city. A large sack and lots of rustle is a powerful combina tion in a city like New York. Portland will not have a park! built and beautified in memory of the Lewis and Clark Exposition out of the funds accumulated in dividends due the stockholders of the corporation, nor will there be erected a memorial temple to keep alive the remembrance of the Fair, says the Oregonian. The big stockholders would rather fatten their pockets with the dividends, Judge Ayers and the county court are to be congratulated up on the magnificent showing of Morrow county at the Lewis and Clark fair. While the county court made the Btart in making the appropriation, the fact should cot be overlooked that Commie eioner Blackman was a great factor at the fair in pushirg our claims to the front. In his efforts for tLis county at the fair, Mr. Llack- tnan's success has been more than was expected and a good part of the rf cognition fhown is due to his faithful and effective work.

North flunk Roa4 Will I se lm niene f orce of Wn, Five thousand men will be wanted immediately br Simmi & Shields, the St. Paul contractors, who will build the road down the north bank of the Col umbia river for the Northern Pacific, and 50,000 laborers will find employ ment soon in the Pacific northwest in the construction of the various new rail way lines that are thought now to be reoeonably sure of beirg built, says the Oregon Daily Journal. S'mms & Shield will distribute to their 5000 men approximately $300, 000 a month, or not l?ss than 83,000,000 before their contract is carried out, while the 50,000 laborers wanted on all the pmjected lines of railway will draw in wages not much less than $100 000 a month or a to'al of from $5,000,000 to 87,000,000 befo- e the work is completed Added to this enormous sum of money to be distributed to the workine men by the railway companies will be the immense sums paid out in the pur chase of supplies and materials, most of which will be bought in Portland. However, not all the money expend ed for materials and supplies will go to Portland business houses, for scores of other towns will receive benefit. There will be large purchases at points near the many camps of construction gangs, and the prosperity induced by the rail way construction will be diffused throughout the entire northwest. Inas much as most of the new lines are pro jected in Oreeon or in the territory that makes Oregon towns the natural pu'- chasing point, this state will feel the influence most favorably, and the in jection of so many millions of dollars into the local money circulation will cause a wonderful forward impetus. In the opinion of conservative financiers, these conditions alone are enough to forestall absolutely all possibility of a reaction after the closing of the expo sition. Simms & Shields are peculiar in th ir me'hods of handling men on construc tion work. Instead of issuing time checks to be cashed in the usual manner with brokers buying them at a discount they wi'l pay their big force of men every night in cash. "We have found that this is the bet ter way to pay our men," said L. E Shields today. "It holds the men bet ter and saves them from the loss of the margin that they usually pay brokers wljo buy up time checks at a discount When a man knows that he is to get his pay every night he works with greater energy. "Another reason for doing this is that workmen of the class we demand are more or less transient. If a man has to wait for his pay to obtain it through the customary channel, re ceiving a time check which he must cash at a given place, he is not willing to work for a fraction of a week, and we lose tbe men of that character entirely from our gangs. "It is certain that the north back road will be built by the labor of foreigners for the greater part. Ameri cans are rapidly becoming averse to do ing manual labor. They are hard to get on construction gangs. The Swedes are good help, and, contrary to common belief, the Italians are perhaps the ideal laborers on such wo k. ot rno.ii st i .nr. Johns Sain speaking Will ot Be Campaign Feature. Salem, Or., Oct. 19 That aspirants for Republican nominations for state offices will not engage in aetump-epeak- Is taking advantage ot the opportunity to build a few fences, He said: , A stamp-speaking campaign would be i W expensive for any of ua in my j opinion. It costs lots of money to rent halls, hire bands and advertise meet ings. I think I shall vinlt the various parts of the state, meet as many of the Republican workers as possible and let litem judge of my fitness for the Gov- -"hip, T'jus far I have met much erno.. encon raeement. In a direct primary' campaign the iul in- newspapers will exert a po fluenee, but so far as I have obsei there is no disposition upon the part of the newspapers to be unreasonable. It is through the newepapers largely that the candidates must reach the people, I find that the newspapers are willing to print, without compensation, such ma'ter concerning candidates &ij a 0 interest as Dews. That much the can didates have a right to expect and no more. If a cantiitiaU asks special attention fiMrh a WWfipaper in setting foitlt argu mOuts in favor of his nomination he should expect to pay legitimate adyer Using rates for the space he gets think the newspapers will publish everything that is proper in the way of politichl news and I see no reason to be lieve, as some have hinted, that candi dates will be ' held up." A campaign before the direct primary need not be and should not be, more expensive than a man of ordinary means can afford THE RATE 1SSCE. President Favors a Commission With Full Power. President Roosevelt ho is traveling in tbe South, said the following in a epeech at Raleigh, N. C. : The preservation of the forests is vital to the welfare of every country. I do not believe in Government ownership of anything which can with propriety be left in private hands and I do most strenuously object to Govern ment ownership of railways. We want an administrative body with the power to secure fair and just treat ment as among all shippers who use tLe railroads. The delays of the law are proverbial and what we need is reason ible quick ness of action. Private cars, terminal tracks and the like must be brought under the control ( f the commission. The most important thing is to give this body the power to make its find- iags effective and this can be done only oy Hiving it power; u it tindH a niven rate unreasonable, to fix a maximum rate, j'ist and reasonab'e, to go in'o ef feet at once and stay in effect unless re versed by the oourts. I wish the commission to have power to make a full and inexhaustive investi gation of the receipts and expenditures of a railroad, so that any violation or evasion of the law may be detected. I hope to see all the power that I think it ought to have granted to the Government, but I would far rather see only some of it granted, but really granted, than see a pretense of granting all in some shape that really amounts to nothing.
