THE PARRISH CREEK ROAD.
An opportunity now presents
itself to the business men of Hepp
ner by which they can show their
enterprise and progrestive spirit
with laudable credit and profit in
the end to themselves. We refer
to the matter of opening the road
up Parrish creek to Waterman
Flat, which will lay tributary to
Heppner the trade of a large sec
tion of country. The people resid
ing in that locality are very anxi
ous to have the road opened and
are willing to lend their time and
labor to that end, but it will re
quire some financial outlay as well
which they think it no more than
right and just that the business
men of Heppner contribute, inas
much as the merchants of this city
will reap large benefits in trade,
upon completion of the road, from
the people residing on Wolf, Moun
tain, Beaver and Rock creeks,
Waterman Flat and Dayville, a
large number of whom have ex
pressed a desire to come to Hepp
ner, an average distance of 90
miles, and do their trading and
shipping in preference to going to
The Dalles, an average distance of
180 miles, as they are now forced
to do in lieu of a good road to this
city.
A conservative estimate places
the number of Bheep in the locali
ties mentioned above in the
neighborhood of 250,000 head, the
entire wool clip from which would,
in all probability, come to Heppner
for shipment, it being the nearest
railroad by about 90 miles, were
this road opened and placed in a
traversable condition for heavily
loaded wagons. Aside from the
sheep industry the people are ex
tensively engaged in cattle raising
and farming, and in the main are
composed of a wealthy and thrifty
class of people, whoso individual
yearly outlay for clothing, provis
ions, etc., reaches well up into the
hundreds of dollars, some of them
expending as high as $1,000 and
$l,fi00 yearly for the necessaries of
life, and the greater part of this
trade might as well as not be had
by the business men of Heppner if
they will but act promptly in the
matter and contribute the neces
sary financinl aid toward opening
up the Parrish creek road.
From Mr. Oscar Minor, of the
mercantile firm of Minor & Oo., of
this city, who is deeply interested
in the projoct, and who foresees
tho vast benefits to be derived by
the business men of I eppner in
the largo increase of trade that is
sure to follow the opening of the
Parrish creek road, we learn that
upon his visit to that section he
interviewed a number of the peo
ple in regard to the matter and
they were all very anxious to have
the road opened in order that they
might como to Heppner for sup
plies. Mr. Minor also investigated
the feasibility of opening the road
and the estimated cost thereof. He
informs us that tho road from
Heppner to the John Day river,
whore there is a good ford during
low water, parties at the river hav
ing signified their intention to
operate a ferry during high water,
is in good condition for travel,
while the road on the other side up
Parrish creek for a distance of
three miles is in good condition
and needs no repair, leaving only
six miles of road to be graded and
built at an estimated cost of not to
exceed SliOO, to reach Waterman
Flat, and thus connect Heppner by
a good wagon roud with a rich and
vast extent of country lying tribu
tary to this city, the trade from
which naturally should and will
come to us lis tho result of the ex
penditure of a few hundred dollars
in opening the Parrish crook road.
It tho busiuoBS men o Heppner
are alive to thoir best interests
thoy will grasp this opportunity
and Ioso no time in subscribing
the amount needed. The sum of
$000 iR a very small item in con
sideration of tho profits to lie real
ized after the road is ouce built
and put in a condition for travel.
Several of our business men have
already signified thoir willingness
to subscribe liberally toward the
project, aud wo Bhould like very
much to soa some of our enterpris
ing citizens take the matter in
hand and make a canvass, raise
the necessary $000, and plaoe it in
the hands of some conservative,
wide-a-wake man, in the Farrish
creek locality, who will uso it to
the best advantage, Rgainst the
donated labor of tho resklonts of
that section, in opening tho road
for travel at on early date.
A business man's advertising

WITHOUT POLICE PROTECTION.
The council at its regular meet
ing Monday evening deposed the
city marshal and declared that
office vacant, the reason assigned
being a lack of finances with which
to meet the salary of that much
needed official. ThiB action on the
part of the council leaves the city
of Heppner in statu quo ante hel
ium, without aDy police protection
whatever, and practically at the
mercy of hoodlums and persons
who are wont to perpetrate deeds
of malicious mischief after night
fall. There is no question as to
the necessity of a city marshal to
guard and protect the interests of
our citizens and property holders
from wanton acts of destruction at
the hands of a few disreputable
hoodlums, and while the city coun
cil in deposing the marshal and
declaring the office vacant, in all
probability, in their judgment act
ed to the best interests of the city
as a matter of economy, the fact
remains very apparent that Hepp
ner is sadly in need of a city
marshal, as evidenced by the hil
arious conduct of several parties
after nightfall since that gentleman
has been retired from the ranks of
official authority. It might be a
good idea, as a measure of protec
tion ,(and,as a means of continuing
the services of city marshal, that if
the city is really financially unable
to maintain the office and pay the
marshal his stipulated salary, the
citizens and business men of Hepp
ner take the matter in hand and
raise the amount monthly by sub
scription sufficient to defray the
salary of that official.

The political complexion of the
coming sossion of the Oregon legis
lature is republican. The senate is
composed of 30 members, 19 of
whom are republicans, 8 democrats
and !1 populists. Tho house has
(10 mombers, of whom 53 are re

The New York Press declares
that in his literary work President
Cleveland is inmitable ; that there
have boon writers and writers, but
none like Mr. Cleveland ; that he
has the dainty touch of the ele
phant, the vivid imagination of the
hipopotamus and the grace of ex
pression of a subpoma.
It is to bo hoped tho city council
will see tho fallacy of dispensing
with tho services of so important an
official as the city marshal and
oause his reinstatement at an early
date. Certainly they can find a
way to reimburse him for services
rondored the city in his official
capacity. If it is necessary to cut
down the running expense of the
city government on account of the
lownoss of finances in the city's ex
chequer, we are of the opinion that
it would be far better and more in
conformity with the wishes of the
citizens and taxpayers generally to
make the cut and economize in
some other way. While it is true
that the marshal may not poiform
an official act for six months at a
time, nevertheless his presence
and authority is a menace to evil
doers and has the effect of keeping
them within the bounds of law and
order.

The future success and pros

upon the newspapers published
therein, which are sent broadcast
over the country proclaiming to the

various enterprises in their locality.
The success of a newspaper de
pends upon the patronage accorded
it by the merchants and business
men generally. Without a credit
able newspoper to voice the senti

"give up the ghost" in the race of
progression and enterprise and
"hole up."
The rich mineral belt of Eastern

BIG FOOTRACE AT PRINKVILLE.
The people of bis place, and a few
interested partiei from Antelope, were
treated about 4 c'olook Christmas day
to a footrace thai was a footrace. As
far as we are ooroerned, we have seen
folks run befon, and with the right
kind of a start wi make very good time

a square meal aiout noon. But when it
comes to flyiu; machines we pass.
The way that long man from Antelope
scratched gravd was a eight. As far as
Hammond was concerned he didn't run,
be just flew, through an oversight on
the part of the Autelone sports, flying
was not barred, and as a matter of oouree
no man's legs are long enough to beat a
fool flying machine. It has been an
open seorct fo' several days among the
sporting fraternity of Prineyille who
Chas. Hammond was. Hammond is no
less than A. S. Anderson, the ohampion
ot America, and no doubt the fastest
footrBOer on the earth, consequently our
sport were blooded, and if Hammond
had accidentally fallen down Prineville's
jaw would have been as badly out of
place as those of the sports who were
backing the long man from Antelope
when the race was over.
We are informed that near two thou
sand dollars oh anged bands on the event.

it Baid to the oredit of the Antelope boys,
they took their defeat in true sportsman

their judgment was at fault. Pnueville

FOR INVENTIONS.
Equal with the interest of those having claims against the government J
that of INVENTORS, who often lose the benefit of valuable inventions because
of the incompetency or inattention of the attorneys employed to obtain theif
patents. Too much care cannot be exercised in employing competent and reli.
able solicitors to procure patents, for the value of a patent depends greatly, if not
entirely, upon the care and skill of the attorney.
With the view of protecting inventors from worthless or careless attorneys,
and of seeinp; that inventions are well protected by valid patents, we have re
tained counsel expert in patent practice, and therefore are prepared to
Obtain Patents in the United States and all Foreign Countries, Conduct In
terferences, Make Special Examinations, Prosecute Rejected Cases,
Register Trade-Marks and Copyrights, Render Opinions as to
Scope and Validity of Patents, Prosecute and
Defend Infringement Suits, Etc., Etc.
If you have an invention on hand send a sketch or photograph thereof, to.
gether with a brief description of the important features, and you will be at once
advised as to the best course to pursue. Models are seldom necessary. If
others are infringing on your rights, or if you are charged with infringement by
others, submit the matter to us for a reliable OPINION before acting on the
matter.
