.4 r' The Heppner Gazette EatubliBborf March 0, HWS. ISSUED THURSDAY MORN I NQ. Vawter Crawford. Entered at the Povtoffice at Heppner Oregon, a iecond-clm matter. Thcesdat Dec. 15, 1910 UOOU HO ADS. It renin rt no argument to con- Tlnoe nny 8,unp man that one of the Imperative needs of Morrow count.v U better ronds. Our people have bo long accustomed themselves to the se of stock trails that the value of good wagon roads to the community has not been duly considered. A good, reliable public highway en hances the value of all adjacent real estate, and as an Investment yields larger returns to the county and mu nicipality than any other public en terprise. Morrow County roads have leen sadly neglected In the past. We don't know whose fault it is, neither does it matter. ; Wecansafe lyrhargeit up to the account of general apathy and a hick of syste matic road working. But the time Is at hand when we should give this nbject more careful consideration, take a broader view of the situation and plan and work for the fnture as well as the present. Our reads at the present are mostly mere make shifts and fill the 'tenderfoot," who lias been accustomed all his life to well graded and macadamized pikes, with terror when he thinks ofadrive over their uneven, rocky and'crooked surfaces. Some of the principal thor oughfares should receive Immediate attention. t-very one in the county must oc casionally visit the tounty seat They not only have business with the county officials, but it Is the ter minus of the Heppner branch of the O. It. & N. and the most important trading point in the county. These things duly considered, it would ap pear good business sense on the part of the citizens of Heppner to urge, and the people of the county at large to demand that the roads entering the county capital should be placed in the best possible condition for any iind of wagon traffic. The road entering the city from the south, ever which passes all the travel to aud from Hardman and Eight Mile and the regions bej-ond to the south and west, is especially deserviug ot attention. This is particularly true respecting that portion of it lying within the city limits from May street south. It is our conviction that our best efforts should be concentrated upon this one piece of work until a good firm road bed of at least 20 feet In width and easy grade Is built to the top of the hill on the road to Hard-man. thing or anybody. With him Uncle Sam is going to the bow wows; the State of Oregon Is overestimated; Morrow County has no future and Its towns are already dead only waiting the offices of the undertaker to put them out of sight forever. We have all seen some of these fellows, for they are with us. If they are not for us. They seem to be sorry they are here, they regard as a great misfortune. In this at reast, tuejr are right, .none or us would shed tears of Borrow at their departure and Blnce there Is such unanimity of feeling on the subject we sugget that all such would con fera lasting benediction upon the community by packing their grip and taklugtheflrxttrainout. Mean time let every good citizen Mat Kick, but HOOSTI 80.T1E PRIMARY NEEDS. While working for a greater Mor row County, let us not forget the prime necessity of making the towns appear clean And attractive. The ueat, tidy appearance of the streets, public buildings and residence prop erty, la a sure Index to the public spirit and thrift of its people. Mud dy or dusty streets, broken, dilapi dated board sidewalks and crossings, and out of date, ragged, old wooden awnings or porches in front of bus! ness houses, give the visitor the im presslon that he has wandered into an old deserted mining town, or a third rate country village. When you Invite your friends to visit you in your home you give some special care to your personal appearance You at least wash your face, put on a clean collar and carefully adjust your tie. Your personal appearance counts for hospitality. What Is true in the case of the individual, is true of the community or city. Get to work. Do something. Don't kick but BOOST! The Washington state papers are rejoicing ever the fact that the popu lation of the Evergreen state has risen to 1,141,000, which will entitle them to tVo additional representa tives in the National Congress. The omciai ngures issued Dy the census bureau show an increase of 023,88 since 1900. In 1900 the population was only 519,103. This Is certainly a wonderful growth, being over 120 per cent. Washington now ranks as the thirtieth in population of the states of the Union, and its develop nient has only begun. In the last decade Washington hasforged ahead of Maine, Connecticut Colorado and Florida.

Glee Club Boys Joymakers Leave it to college bora to furnish something funny and original. The feature stunt of the University of Oregon Glee Club this year is entitled 'The Glee Club in Dope Center." It scintillates with funny song and good humor. The principals in this are Melvin P. Oideo, of Portland, president of the Club; Tom Burk. of Baker Citv; and Vernon Vawter, of Medford. Ail three are old men and won no little credit for thrir work on the club last year. In his act are introduced Messrs. Curtis ana ueit-ier, the ' rretzel Twins," in song and dance, Frazier in solo, and the 'Hungry Six," a German bind, which renders several familiar ditties in charac teristic German style. - The popularity of Oretron students will nsure the club an enthusiastic and cor dial reception when they appear here at Roberts Hall, December, 20. THAT (HKOMC KICKER. If there Is one character more des picable than anybody elne it Is the chronic kicker and growler. There are men who seem to have been born with a grouch and appear to labor under the hallucination that they were especially endowed by Provi dence to snarl and kick at everything in their reach. They kick the coun try, its climate, its soil, Its confor mation and its products. There is nothing in it or about it that is as It hou!d be. They kick the fanners as a lot of ignorant, thriftless and non progressive boobies, exi ept such as have amassed considerable wealth and are prosperous, and then they turn and kick them ;.n set of knaves arid scoundrels because of t heir thrift. They kick the town and its people. Nothing is made r'iu or done riht. Its bui!,eM men are back numbers; Its public enterprises ari-umieoessary and lniealiei fur and are doomed to failure; its schools and cli".rclies and l.H-iievoient and cliaritable institu tions are of the lowest order, and thosM-oiirie:te(l with them areeither mercenaries or hypocrites. Tli ki'-'er's biisineM is to kick nnd he kicks. He is onto his joband lie Ftays with it. He stands around upon the sidewalk, or situ on the curb, or lounges about the stores, the hotel lobby or the saloon and late ami early toots his horn. He seldom has a good word for anj- Oregon will shortly exploit Its great caves in Josephine county. which have recently been set aside as a national reservation. Moreover, the Government will place these caves in charge of a caretaker who will put a stop to the practice of careless tourists who Invade the caves and destroy the beauty of some of the rock formations In their search for curios. These caves are said to be far superior to the Mammoth Cave In Kentucky. If there Is a lawyer in Oregon who knows Just what the constitution of the state now Is we have not heard from him in print. But those who formulated the late amendments can settle the matter by giving ub a few more oi the same sort at the next election.
