INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS.
Referring to eijrt'eio(is 'ti wliicU x
trHvagHnce is alltned in relation to e
appropriation of n.ouy for tlie improve
ment of wstfun roaila in tlie Sute, by the
luit legiJulive asjeiublv, we wunltl off-r
tbe ollowioj; abstract in support of :m
assertion that no particularly it iipnms
ooucenfliuun biive beeu (irautej to ili
olaimauts for th appropriations of thin
claBS. On the contrary, it has imply
been a matter of rtlilutioii to purpose
from which money has for thirty years
past been diverted.
The act of Congress admitting Ore
gon into the Uuion contained six propo
sitions. The first waa in relation to
lohool lands, a noerai graui; iun
0 mcerniuj gilts of land for use of a
state nuiverBity. The fifth is as follows :
"That five per ceutnm of the net pro
ceeds of sale of all public lands lying
wituiu the state, which shall be Bold by
Congress after tbe admission of said
state into the Union, after deducting all
tbe expenars incident to the same, shall
be paid to the state for the purpose of
making public roads and internal im
provements, as tbe legislature shall di
rect." These propositions were subject to ac
, eeptauce by the stale of Oregon. The
legislative nxsemlily did so in an act, ap
proved Jane a, iooa.
For years the United Sti t s has bpen
paying into the state treasury five per
cent, of the proceeds of the sale of pnb
lio lands witiiin its borders, for the pur
pose of constructing and improving wag
on roads for the ne and benefit of pur
chasers of government laud, iu sections
yet unable to build ther own roads. It
waa assumed that iuiprovt meat ot roads
in remote parts would increase the sale
of publio lands, and justify and induoe
settlement of otherwise, than by public
aily oonstrnoted roods, inaccessible tracts.
We are without definite figures, but it is
ate to say that the state is now receiv
ing over J40,0u0 each year from the gov
ernment which was originally "iutended
and granted for the benefit of purchasers
of public laud, and for the improvement
of WBgon roads."
At a time when tbe handling of school
funds was more of a "publio trust
privite snap sort of businss" than it now
is, by some manipulation, this internal
improvement fund was diverted to the
form-i- Hnd vet so remains. The stale
baviug Been fit iu the past, to divert the
gift of the general government which
was lor internal improvements, to other
purposes, in aggregate a vast amount
It can now only be considered as an act
of restitution to grant an eqnal amount
in a prudential manner to the purposes
which ocoaeioned the gift, long with
held. If there lias been purchased in tbe ter
ritory contiguous to the wagon road be
tweeu John Day City and Monument, in
Grant county, two hundred and fiftj
lections of land, that section lias a claim
on the state for $10,000 for the pnrpose
of improving that road.
In Eastern states, recognition of the
fact that tbe value of farm lauds of equal
productive capacity is dependent upon
the cost ot hauling produce to market,
it is oonceded that expenditure upon
highways are advisable iu ratio to the
decrease in cost of hauling a ton.
Tbe United States has given ttie 8tntT
of Oregon over a half million dollars
with wbicb to make more valuable the
lands wbioh it has sold, by improvemeui
of public highways. The state has used
but a little over one-fifth of the amount
for such purposes and then under pro
test by those of n section in which more
arly donations granled to them the
most valuable government laud withon.
price. For this reason the older sections
of the state have bad, in the diversion
of tbis five per cent, internal improve
ment money to school purposes, a pro.
portiouate benefit of a fund to which
tbey contributed little. For this reason
it would teem that tbey should favor
grants to all parts of the state equal to
five per cent, of the total amount paid in
uoh a district to the general government
for publio lands, in an equitable, and
judicious maimer.
Grant county asks only for a few
tbousaud dollars furpublicimprovcmentB
to build a good road from Monument
to John Day City, and as it is Very plain
that the people living ndj:icent to tbe
roaJ in question, have paid f r all they
ask, tbe -appropriation should be granted
them. This thnrongbfare, wbeu com-
pielea, wouiu prove oi ration vaiue to an
Grant county, and from facts already
placed before one reader-, are not tbey
unreasonable in their demands.
' Oregon demands that tbe general gov
eminent shall improve the publio water
ways, and ripen tbe Columbia river. The
state should be consistent and use tlie
thousands of dollars which tbe genera
government has provided, in the im
provement of highways within its juris
diction. Senator Blackman will introduce a bil

CATCH I NO 'Hi EM ALL. j
A democratic friend of ours, from H y
stack, writes as lollows: !
'The great alliance man, John Hadlev,
is in our neighborhood working for that
great party. I think that the democrats
in thin comity are to ftuiart to l.ave the
4-ool pulled over ""their eve' and let
the republican party get up a soheme in
the shape of an alliance, or third partyt
so as to etop the progress of the demo
cratic party in '92. Now, Mr. Editor, a
drowning man will catch at a straw, and
as tlie republican party made such a
blunder when they passed the McKinley
bill, they are trying to bridge it over
with this alliance party to scatter the
democratic vote."
Yes, but there's as many republicans
joining tbe alliance as democrats, and 60
the latter cannot be badly worsted.
States that had formerly given' large re
publican majorities, went democratic the
last election, because . the republicans
went over to tbe Farmers Alliance.
PROPOSED CHANGE OFCIIA R TEJt
Senator Blm-koawill ask tbe legis.
lature to make several changes iu Hepp-
ner's charter.
The clause to which be w ill devote
pai tLular attention is tbat one allowing
our town council to go iu debt to the
extent of $501) and no more. It is ar
gued that tbis almost lies the bands of
tbe town council to do anything, and
that any town con noil that Hppneer
might ohoose ought to be privileged to
iuc.r nu indebtedness of 85,000. at least.
And it strikes tbe Gazkttb just tbat
way.
The town of Heppner should also have
the right to incur an indebtedness of
more thou $2t),0J0. It's perhaps large
enough just now, but by tbe time two
yeais more shall have rolled around.
Heppner will be clamoring for bigger
clothes.
In other words, as soon as water
works are put io, a sewerage system will
be very budly needed, an 1 it will take
itionpy to meet demands.
It is a good plau to give rJeppuer a
chance to grow; and it will be necessary
to go in debt some as it gets larger and
more needy.
Long Crbek is enconraging Pendle
ton iu the extension and completion of
i he road to ibat place. There is a rea
son for it. The bulk uf complaint Is
agninst tbe forwarding company at
Heppner, and this paper has been con
strained to believe that there is no foun
dation for so ninth vrnmblmg. But
tbey are kickiug, never-the-less. Clear
up the mailer, and settle the difficulty.
Heppner cannot afford to have any famr
ily rows. . V
UNiiKSs rond supervisors oan secure
good, honest road work, worth every dol
lar dne iu this manner from the tax payerJ
it would be better to reqnire cash pay
meuts, and then let the work out by cou
tract. This is a plan which would be
very objectionable to the people at large,
yet this should be done, or better work
required by supervisors. Look at your
roads and see how poorly they are
worked.
Let such a mau be chosen for mayor
as will be in accord with tbe policy of
the retiring nfiioer. Extensive improve
ments have been initiated, and there
should be no halt in the matter. . In the
selection of councilmpn, good progress
ive men shonld be ohosen. The election
is not far off. and it is none too soou to
hegin to think about who shonld be
chosen.

AT HE --A NEWS.
From the Tra-np.
On Friday evening at abont 10:30 your
Tramp nd a numb, r of friends were all
sitting around the stove at a friend's
house, listening to the rain coming down
and to a weil-'old story of olden times
in Oregon, when all at once the 'errible
cry of ''Fire" was bear! aga n aud again.
We thought it was done as a joke by
one of the company, who had gone out,
but when the first mau ii't to tbe door,
it was plain enough to see that it was uo
joke. Thu fire king was hero in Athena
in.all of his fury. "Great God," we all
said with one breath, "a fire such a
night as this!" The wind was blowing a
gale aud hnt little rain. We all started
out to save what we could, and be it said
to tbe credit of Atriena s boys and rest,
dents, they worked like beavers, and
saved all tbat could be saved.
The fire broke out in the upper story
of the building oca n pied by tbe Athena
Drug Company, jn-t abont the center of
the principal block in the city. From
here it quickly comrunnioated to tbe
storea of Capt. Lewis and L. Blum & Co.,
and in five miuntes after tbe first alarm
was Rounded, two of tbe largest frame
buildings in the block were a mass of
flames. It is a miracle that the city of
Athena is yet in existence. Had it not
been for the rain . increasing and tbe
wind changing the entire business por
tiou, as well as tbe greater part of the
residence poiti'n of tbe city would bave
been destroyed. Tbe losses to a portion
of those who were burned out will fall
very heavy upon them. Capt. Lewis lost
everything tbat be bad: even bis books
were destroyed, and taking into consider
ation tbe way business isandtbesoaicity
of money, the loss by tbis fire is donbly
bard, and felt by many.
There is no way of getting at the losses,
but well-informi d parties place the total
at between $25,000 and 830,000. This
will cover everything. No accideuts of
aiiy kind occurred, nur was there any
thefts detected.
Ben Swaggart came over and paid
Athena a visit. Mrs Swaggart has been
spending tbe holidays at Link Swag
gart's, two miles from here. There has
been several gospel meetings at Link's
bouse withiu the past two weeks, wbicb
aooounts for Link not selling more of his
patent razors.
John Gillmar, who has charge of tbe
N. P elevators here, and one of Athena's
most popular young men, was married
on Dec. 31, to Mrs. Etta Irons, one of
the proprietors of the Freewater Herald.
This was done in such a quiet way that
it was a surprise to allot their many
fiends. But their friends were not to
be outdone. They all gathtred at the
hotel and wished the newly married
oouple a happy future, aud tbey all
meant it.
Our old and esteemed friends, J. Bloch
aud Jule Levy, had a hard time of it dur
ing the fire. Mr. BKch was compelled
to move all of his household fnruitnre,
and at ' the same time his store was
iu great danger. His many friends came
to bis assistance and pulled things
through with but a small loss.
John Clary, the ever popular host of
Athena, is now demonstrating to the
sportiug fraternity of Atbena that be
can raise as nice game birds as anybody.
It will be to tbe b.rd fancier's interest to
keep their eyes upon Jobny, as be is sure
to be on deck with some good ones.
