It is conceded by about every
one that KnMcrn Oregon should
have, and is entitled to tliu lionor
of electing the man to represent
tlio second congressional district of
Oregon, in the lialls of congress.
"While, the N i:vh is not a jwlitieul
machine in the Mriutur sense, it is
a linn advocate of the right, and
will labor for the interests of Grunt
county and Kastorn Oregon, liml,
last and forever. Therefore we
havu stated in these columns a
number of times, our preference
for a representative from this sec
tion, of either olitical faith - if he
is from Kastorn Oregon ho is stm.
iK)sed to advocate measure for the
battorinont of our condition, as
well as other parts of the state, and
as thoro has never been a repre
sentative elected east of the Cas
cades our section is entitled to a
candidate, at least. Tliun let dele
gates go to the conventions in
structed to supKirt the xtrongeat
eandiilato from IviMcrn Urcgun- -one
who will poll his share of votes
in the lower counties -and if nom
inated his election is assured and
this inland empire will appreciate
the honor conferred.

A I.os Angeles man projwses to
raise elephants in California and
train them to pick oranges. He
nays: "The trained elephant would
bu a great success in the orange
groves. Mo could readily reach all
over the trees with his trunk and
carefully pick the fruit and place
it in a bag hung around his neck,
or in a basket tied on his back, lie
could pick more oranges than ten
hired men, and would never strike
for higher wages or llirt with the
hired gfrl."
Judging from the court iecoul
for the pint twenty-live year anil
other jeeordi not pertaining to the
court, the inspiring of girls to
preach the gospel will protect mor
ality and thus preserve the woof of
Christianity and Godlincxs, provid
ing the general run of e'eaeons can
bu prevailed upon to follow Jesus
instead of the girls. The church
at CaUkill, N. V., lately presided
over by Uev. II. W. George, now
on a liftccn year leave of almeuoo
iu prihou at hard labor for the se
duction and killing of his little ad
opted daughter, l.olta Townsond,
siiggets the engagement of the
Louisville girl preacher to go up
north.
Until the f ill returns loiiiu in

Concerning the account of the
(cjimuIo of the ton of Jaiuiu
Miller, an account of which we
publish on the liM page, the Ore-
UoniRti eilitoriallv says: ".n an
alysii of young Miller's com
of tlie hnnl late that drov
stnao rabbery reveals the
ho occame a criminal by deliberate
choice. He preferred tho life of a
tmmp "looking for work," to the
actual work of earning an honest
living on a ranch. It was not the
little education he received at a
district school that unlittcd him for
thu lifu of a farmer. There in
sciircely a farm iu the country that
has not upon it some person who
has had as much teaching iu the
district bdiools as .Mr. .Miller,
while there is to ho found more
than one agriculturist who has not
been spoikd for the work of a farm
by a couno iu an aeademy or eol
lego. With all hie father's inelli
eiency and lack of moral perception
hut without his literary talent, he
is following very closely in the
footstops of his pannt at' tho same j
tender age, with far less prospect '
of being able to follow his later
ones. Heredity, and not tho dis
triut school, is the root of this
young man's choice of the life of a
tramp, with its inevitable ending
within the grated windows of a
priftQn,"

THE HEPPNER WAREHOUSE
Has been enlarged to accommodate
the increasing business. The wools
of this section which accumulate at
Heppner, attract all the leading
Western buyers to that point, and
make it the best market in which
the grower can dispose of his clip.
Last season over 1,000,000
pounds of wool was sold in Hep
pner at prices which averaged the
grower more clear money than was
realized by sales of similar wools
in other western markets more dis
tant from the manufacturing cen
ters ol the Bast.
Teamsters charges advanced on
written orders. Cash advanced on
wool in storage.
