OFFICIAL PAPER OF
THURSDAY, JUNE 8, 1905.
Since the last waterspout at for Crook county one of the many
Hefner numerous "For Rent" j strides which of late, are fast ydae
and "For Sale" advertisements are ing it among the foremost in the
appearing in the Heppner papers.'
Most of the ads state that the
houses spoken of lie above the
high water mark. In view of
recent events it is not likely that
Heppner will show a very material
increase in population by the time
the next census is taken.
North Yakima, Wash., has a
population of 6076, a gain of 121
per cent in five years, and these
figures do not include 3000 persons
living in the suburbs. As a whole
the figures could not speak more
conclusively of the immense gains
to be derived in a country which
has been built up solely upon ir
rigation enterprises. With 400,000
acres of Crook county's land to be
reclaimed, it is not improbable that
a like increase will be noted here
in the same length of time.
In an interview at Salem the
other day, United States Senator
Chas. W. Fulton said: "I have
been try.ng to get the press of the
state to appreciate the danger to
the state's future through the forest
reserve policy of the government,
but it has seemed a difficult thing
to have them arrive at a realization
of what it means to the state. I
fought theproposition in congress
last year and Ehall continue to do
so as long as I am in the senate
from Oregon. As the matter stands
now, one-fifth of the lands in the
state of Oregon are tied up so that
they will do no good to the state
nor permit of development. I con
sider the action of the government
as an outrage, and that the people
of Oregon should protest ener
getically against it must soon be
evident to them."
If Dr. Lane stands in the future
on the same platform on which he
was elected, Portland will enjoy
for a time a period of decency.
There can be no doubt that the
work of Sheriff Word since he went
into office had a material effect in
the election this week of the May
or. Both are democrats, but it is
evident that a change of political
administration is the best circum
stance that can surround Portland
in the present instance. The Re
publicans alone are to be blamed
for putting up a man whose age
and career, since he has been at
the head of municipal affairs, were
prohibitive. It took a Democratic
Sheriff to bring to the people a
realization of the fact that there
are laws in the statutes that must
be enforced. Perhaps Dr. Lane
can bring a sympathetic feeling
among the residents of Portland
regarding civic matters. If he
cannot, then the Republicans are
all the more to blame in their
negligence for having let a demo
cratic candidate assume the duties
of the office to which he was
elected.
The organization of the com
pany which will operate on Look
out mountain in the cinnabar
fields, and which in no great
length of time will add an im
portant branch to the development
and business interests of Crook
county, is a matter calling forth a
good bit of commendation. Not
all of this county's latent possibili
ties have been developed, but it if
far better that they should be
handled in every instance by
home people. When that is done
tiie bene tits veturn to the same
source, and a greater sense of
security in the country's resources
is given outsiders who may wish
to invest in projects similar to the
one noted. A country which has
no confidence in itself is not one
which is likely to inspire con-
nuence in otners, ana more par
ticularity the investing kind. To
the Prineville business men, there
fore, who have undertaken the
establishment of a mining enter
prise, whose worth will be better
appreciated at a later date, there
is due the credit for having taken ,
CROOK COUNTY.
state
The west and the southwest the
great and splendid Pacific slope,
all the way from British Columbia
to the northern states of Mexico in
clusive, and all the great soutwest
including Texas, Indian Territory
and Ariiona call for men and
women. These vast regions are asJ
yet but sparsely populated. Their
natural resources are sufficient to
support many times their present
inhabitants. A great part of their
vast aggregate area is capable of
sustaining a larger population per
square mile than throngh the At
lantic coast states. there are
mountains and deserts, it is true,
but there is enough profitably
habitable land left to make homes
for tens of millions and the
mountains are sources of great
wealth and scenes of grest indus
tries, and in many considerable
areas with irrigation, from reser
voirs of stored water or artesian
wells, even the desert can be made
to blo.-som as the rose. All this
vast western portion of the conti
nent needs and calls for more men
and women and children later.
It does not invite the tramp, the
loafer; the idler, the swindler nor
the gambler; it will treat these
with scant courtesy, but it calls
for men with capital, mean of
small means, enough to make a
start, men of energy and strength,
even if they have little or no mon
ey, honest decent, industrious
home-building, state-developing
men and women. The west needs
such people, and a great number
of such people need the west. In
it there are more and better oppor
tunities for them. In it they would
be larger, freer, healthier, happier
men and women, In it their chil
dren wonld have a better chance
,to make a good start in life. The
west calls to such men and women.
Many of them, learning something
of this glorious west, are yearning
for it. Come on, come out, and
grow up with this growing region,
the best and to be the greatest por
tion of our great country. Port

figuring out how such a peculiar
condition came about.

ruin it. Skylights and plate glass
store windows were smashed, let

The hearing of the preliminary
arguments in the Mitchell indict
mentwill begin next Monday. This
together with other interruptions
will probably delay the real trial
until June 20. The other cases
now pending before the court will
come up as soon as the one men
tioned has been disposed of.
Total attendance at the expo
sition, official figures, amounted
during the first three days Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday to
61,131. This week, so far, the at
tendance yesterday was 7117.
Today's figures cannot be officially
given as yet, but judging from
comparative crowds, it appears
that the attendance will again he
over 10,000 today. "The ex
perience has been," said Colonel
Henry E. Dosch, "that the attend
ance after the ojieninir day has
been very small. In St. Louis the
paid admissions were just about
the same as the total admissions
here. In Chicago it was practical
ly the same, never running alnivi
30,000 admissions for severa
weeks." Other officials share with
Colonel PowjU u this feeling of
enthusiasm. Telegram.
