IS BECOMING A GENEAL DEMAND Good Roads Is Oregon's Developer. The Good Roails movement m Oregon Iihs become general. All classes are represented in the demand made npon the legelature for the pass-aae of the tiva Oregon Gold Roads Association highway bills that have been pending before it. Farmers are the most inter ested because they have most to gain. The Oregon farmer is, and has been a prisoner on his farm during the winter months hecanse the terribly tnaddy roads that mire an empty waeon keep him from the market place and from the pleasures of town. The streets of Fortland, the largest Oregon town, are trod day by day by boys from the farm who would not stay !n the mud and who haye not learned the clerical work of the town. Thousands of acres of land are not producing wealth for prosperous com munitiea becanse they cannot be reacn ed over bad roads. In many instances there are m roada at all. More than two millions of acres of land worth now rare than $50, 000, 000 were given in Oregon for the making of roads. These roads were never built. The holders of land grants were not held accountable to their trust. There was no eystem. Tne state-wide good roads movement now insists upon system. Every county is enconraged to build its own system of road". The highway' bills provide state aid. This aid, S20, 000 to each county in two years that raise $40, 000 is little enough compared to the 814, 000, 000 appropriation for state-aided highways in New York, or $2, 859, 000 in New Jersey which is only a fraction ' of the size of an average Oregon county The operation of the highway bills as law, the services of the highway board and commissioner, the appropriation generally of $680, 000 to belp counties build roads, the convict labor bills, that take convicts from competition with free labor and pnt them at work crushing rock, the county bonding act which permits counties to pledge their credit for the construction of permament roads all oi these movements uninted in a system to establish a good roads system in every Oregon county are expected to convince all doubters of the develop ment necessity and benefit of perman ent highway construction bo that when the question of increased appropriation comes before the legislature two years from now, tbe largest possible amount will seem little enough. Oregon's most progressive citizens laugh at the idea of there being political motives behind the good roads move ment. The good roads movement re sults from the good roads necessity. It is bigger than polit'cs that has bean likened to mudholee ; it is bigger than any man or any set of men. Tbe move ment is the development history of Oregon in tbe making, and calls for the services of broacl-mltifed foresigbted men. These are the men who are supporting the good roads movement. They have arisen in every Oregon ceunty. Tbey bave told their legislators that good wagon roada are more important than railroads, and that railroads are of little avail, unless wagon roads are built, solidly, imoolbly, to serve as transportation connection be tween the farm or center of production and the railroad, or, if not the railroad, the market place, the center of sales. Lacking easy transportation, the food the people eat on their tables, the fur nitnre with which they furnish their homes, the implements they use all cost more, and the added cost all goes into Oregon's annual 12,000,000 bad roads fnnJ, a fnnd which pays no interest and never retime tbe principal. HEPPNER FOWLS CAPTURE PRIZES Birds From Local Pens Do Well at Great Walla Walla Show. The poultry show bela 'ast week at Walla Walla was a grand success, con sidered from the standpoint of number and quality of the exhibits. About twelve hundred entries were made and these consisted mainly of successful prize winners from shows held earlier in the season. In fact, this was the place where the successful exhibitors from all parts of the Pacific .Northweet met for fioal contest which brought out a dis play seldom equalled. The new system of cooping recently adopted by the Walla Walla Valley Poultry Association, was pronounced by those who have attended the other poultry fairs as being the best ever in stalled on tbe Pacific Coast, both in point St displaying the feathered beau ties and for convenience in feeding and handling. The scoring being done by Judges Elmer Dixon of Oregon City, and H. H. Collier, of Tacoma, gave assurance that all exhibits would get a fairand unbiased decision and the association was fortu nate in securing the services of these men. The officers were kept busy looking after the interests of 'exhibitors, and seeing that arrangements were carried out in systematic order. No pains were spared to make visiting exhibitors feel at home and special efforts were made to give them a royal good time, member of the Walla Walla Commercial Club assisting in extending these courtesies To tbe efforts of these latter gentlemen is also due much of the success of the show, as they are wide awake to any thing that will be for the best interests of their city. The largest exhibits were in tbe Barred Rock class, there being over one hundred of these entered- Next in evi dence were the White Wyandottes, fo! lowed closely by Rhode Island Reds, Mottled Anconas, Buff and White Rocks, Mi orcas and Leghorns. Good exhibits were also made of many other varieties too numerous to mention. The turkey display was good, show ing some of tbe largest specimens ever raised on tbe Pacific Coast, these being of the mammoth bronze variety and handsome birds in size, shape and color. Indian Runner and Pekin docks made'a good display and were pronounced by experts as among tbe finest in the United States. Geese were neglected, tbe exhibit consisting of one pair of Em- den and one lone domesticated wild goose. A fine lot of guineas were placed near the entrance and were the first to welcome the visitor with their peculiar call. A large coop ot domesticated Chi nese Pheasants attracted much atten- A Tale A Moral. Some two or Ibree weeks ago the Gazette mentioned the fact that a new industry hnd been opened in Heppner that whs calcu lated to put the local meat trust out of business. These same par ties are now in receipt of a bona fide proposition from Page & Son, wholesale commission merchants of Portland, who desire to take the entire output of the pork packers at the highest market prices. Moral: It pays to advertise. P, S.: It pays to advertise in the Gazette. Tl:.CIIi:ilS EXAMINATION. FOLEY KIDNEY PILLS. Are tonic in action, quick in results. A special medicine for all kidney and bladder disorders. Mary C. Abbott, Wolfeboro, N. H., says: "I was afflict ed with a bad case of rheumatism, due to uric acid that my kidneys failed to clear out of my blood. I was so lame in my feet, joints, and back that it was agony for me to step. I used Foley Kidney Pills for three days when I was able to get up and move about and the pains were all gone. This great change in condition I owe to Foley's Kidney Pills and recommend them to anyone suffering as 1 bave." All druggists. D. C. Gurdane returned frcm Walla Walla on Wednesday even ing, where he had been with an exhibit of his prize winning Barred Rocks. Doug pronounces the show a success in every respect.

Leonard, of Spray, were transacting business In Heppner tbia week. Lack of space and time prevents giv ing the names of the numerous txbibit on, although many were worthy of special mention. The good effects of the many poultry shows held in different parts of the country are shown by the improved class of poultry seen iu the barn lots of tbe farmers as well as in thn jards of the breeders of fancv stock. The mongrels so commonly met In tbe pant are rapid ly Riving place to better grades of pool try, bred for botp utility ar.d beauty. It costs no more to raise a good fowl than a scrubby mocgrel and their value as egg and meat producers are much improved by good breeding. Morrow County was represented at this show by a pen from the Barred Plymouth Rocks ot D. C. Gurdane; White Plymouth Rocks from W. P. Hill, and Rhode Ielarid Reds from the Brilliant Poultry yards of L. W. Brigge. These birds were at a disadvantage in being sidetracked at Pendleton on a very cold night and reacbing tbeii desti nation in bad condition and after ths show was in progress, no time being bad to put them in shape for judging, but notwithstanding this serious handi cap theee fine fowls were in evidence, each lot, as nsual, bringing home a lib eral supply of premium ribbons and sustaining the reputation of Heppner and Morrow County for producing fine poultry. Tbe show was in every way a e access and credit to its promulgator and managers. Kill more Than Wild fleitsls.

Out of tho midst of the bloody hor rors of the lmttlo of Fredericksburg comes n Hweotoiud touching incident which goes to prove thut the rage of battle cannot obliterate the tenderness dwelling in the hearts of men. The story Is taken from Major Robert Stiles' "Four Years: Under Massu Rob ert." Tho Federal rtrmy was entering the town, shot wns flying lu nil direc tions, nnd Buck, a Confederate sol dier, was peering round the corner of a house. A little three-year-old, fair haired baby girl toddled out of tho ulley, ac companied by a Newfoundland dog, nnd in the midst of the hissing shells chased a cannon ball down the street Buck grounded his gun, dashed out Jnto the storm and swung his great right arm round the baby. Then ho ran after his company, the little one clasped to his breast. The company took refuge behind the stouo wall which has now become his toric, and there for hours and days of terror the baby was kept. Fierce nurses took turns In petting ber while the storm of battle raged and shriek ed. Naver was a baby so cared for, and scouts scoured the countryside to get her milk. When the struggle was over aud the Federal army had left the company behind tho wall received the post of honor In the van to lead tho column Into the town. Buck stood about In the mlddlo of the regiment, the bnby in his arms. There was a long halt. and tho brigade staff hurried to and fro. The regimental colors were not to be found. Suddenly Buck sprang to the front. He swung aloft the baby girl, her lit tle garments fluttering like the folds of a banner, and shonted: "Forward, men of the Twenty-first! Ilere are our colors!'' Off started the brigade, cheering lustily. Federal Home3tead Laws. The federal homestead laws begin with the act of 1S02, now a part of the United States revised statutes.
