LOOKS LIKE A BILK.
The Rev. (?) W. T. B. Harwood Mv ha all
Right But Evidence is Anainst Him.
A gentleman of oolor, a minister pre
sumably, floated in npon us reoently
aod at once proceeded to bill tbe town
for a lecture. Showing recommenda
tions, he was taken in by onr local
clergy as a Christian geutleman and a
fellow minister, and had no trouble
whatever in seonring the M. E, oburob,
South, in whiob to deliver his leoture.
Out of deerence to tbe colored gentle
mau, he was given an opportunity to
prenoh on the Sunday evening preced
ing his lecture on Monday night. This
was a fatal mistake. In tbe oommon
parlance of the day, he oonldn't preach
"fast enough to keep bis feet warm."
He showed no ability and if educated
as he claimed, in the best schools of
England, be must have gone tbrongb
oollege oo the short oourse in the front
door and out of tbe baok. He had an
excellent audience, however, everyone
desiring, it seemed, to hear tbe colored
missionary talk. His first effort settled
the business and bis audience on Mon
day nigbt was pretty scattering.
Tha proceeds of tbe leotnre were no
doubt small, as he "stood off" most of
the board bill and never eaid as mnob
as "thank you'' to tbe print shop to
which he was indebted a small amount
for making an announcement of bis
lecture, as this office always oharges
half rates for snob work. To tbe hotel,
be promised to send the money baok
from Pendleton. This he has not done.
This paper believes that Harwood is
a bilk, and it tbe truth was known, an
imposter also. Any person who will n b
a priuter will not do to trust in any
oommoiiity. Any man who will beat a
board bill is about as low as they make
tbem. If Rev. Harwood bad said that
be was Dot able to pay the printing bill,
or had acted like an honest man: it he
bad written to the hotel that he was
unable to meet his promise, matters
would have been different.
WE HAKE THE CORRECTION.
Love of Peace Cause the Gazette to Humbly
Knock Under.
The Gazette has bad a hard row to
hoe lately. Our oeighhor, Sam Mead
ows, bo, by tbe way, is a pretty good
one, to j, was greeted by a new arrival
in tbe family not long ago, whioh tbe
Gazette duly cbrooioled as tipping the
beam at 9 pounds, whioh Sam says is cor
reot. This was all right till Judge Free
land came rushing in frantically one
morning to say that be had a stranger in
bis family whioh he bad deoided to adopt,
aod it weighed 10 pounds. Sam grew
suspicions sod was not content till he had
dug up the figures and then it was found
that between tbe desire of tbe Gazette's
editor to make a happy father happier,
aod a food parent's wish to show tbe
prize baby of the neighborhood, the
figures had been raised juat 4 pounds
Tben our troubles began, and in order
to bave peoe we have decided to givr
tbe faots in tbe case.
We will say, however, tbat while Sam
has tbe best of this matter, ostensibly,
yet we have oiroumstantial evidenoe thit
he tinkered with tbe scales so that they
would weigh heavy, but we will let tbe
matter rest it Sam is suited. Tbe Ga
zette wants peace and quietude aud will
get down and apologize this time.

But little wool is being sold in Hepp
ner at present owing to tbe depression
of prices. This is occasioned by tbe
action of tbe senate in koooking out the
retroaotive clause of tbe new tariff law,
whioh, it it bad gone into effeot by the
concurrence o: toe senate wnn tne
house, would bave stopped free import
ations ot wool after April 1st, Wool-
buyers and sheepgrowers are both rest
ing on uncertainties in not knowing just
when tbe proposed tariff law will go into
effeot, hence are waiting on their oars to
see just where they are at. As toon as
the bill becomes a law prioes will ad
vance and wool traffio will become lively
again.
Tbe London market is a little better
than Inst year owing to tbe unusnal de
mand on this side. Wben it beoame
known that tbe April dense was a dead
letter, prioes advanoed appreciably, but
were mnob depressed earlier in tbe
spring when it appeared likely that tbe
retroaotive clause would stiok. There is
also a considerable shortage in tte

Mr. Black mta Hays fcra or Prosperity Is
at Band.
The town of Heppner, Morrow connty,
is at tbe present time enjoying its foil
share of prosperity, and from all ao
connta tbe residents bave not witnessed
socb a prosperous era for many years,
suggests the Pendleton Tribune. Mr.
Qenry Blackman, oolleotor of internal
revenues for this district, returned to
Portland Tuesday from a visit to bis
family in Heppner, and to a reporter of
tbe Portland Oregonian said: -
"Heppner Is the liveliest town in East
ern Oregon today. Tbe streets are
orowaea wnn people, boo every one
seems to have money to jingle in his
pocket. List Saturday was the liveliest
day seen there for many jeers. The
street was filled with sheepmen, cattle
buyers, trailers, sbeepshearets and farm
era. Two photographers were kept bnsy
on the street taking piotures of shearers
and their girls, and tbe old-time sights
of draw poker, faro and other games
were a reminder of the flush times of
1880.
"Fully 70,000 sheep have been con
tracted for to be delivered after shear
ing, tbe average prioe paid being $1.50,
Tbe wool clip of Morrow will this year
be olose to 3,500,000. Several lots have
been sold thus early, bringing from 7 to
9li cents. Tbe sheepmen are now bold
iog their wool, owing to the nneertainty
ot tbe tariff bill. Experts state tbat the
clip of 1897 will be 1,400,000 pounds
short, and, if this proves true, wool will
bring a good prioe.
"I be larmers are also bright and
cheerful. All tbe orops look well, and
there is about 15 per cent more acerage
Bnwn man lasc year, it toe grain ee
capes the destructive bot winds, there
will be 1,000,000 bushels ot grain har
vested in Morrow oounty next eummer
whioh, even at 50 oents a bushel, will
bring a large amount of money to tbe
people. With tbe sale ot sheep, wool,
cattle and grain, fully $1,000,0 j0 will
oome to Morrow oounty, a great portion
ot wbiob will eventually find its way to
Portland.
"There is not a variant residenoe house
in Heppner. Some bnildib" is being
done, and the people are very hopeful.
In fact, it really looks as though tbe
prosperity promised is taking loot. Of
course, that is a oonoession for a demo
crat to make, but it really looks so. One
of tbe best indications I noted was tbe
amount of business done in Heppner
last Saturday. One store took in $920
cash in general trade. Tbe credit eya
tern is no longer in vogue there aud
everybody seems to have money."
Mr. B. has given the brightest side of
tbe rase. Heppner is fairly lively but
it Jaoks a great deal ot being tbe town
it was formerly. However, Mr. B
artiole is in the main a correct one.
though be nndervalnes tbe average prioe
paid for sheep. It is nearer $1.75 per
bead than $1.50, and if an thing higher
than tbat. He also states that the ex
perts claim tbat tbe shortage of wool is
1,400 000 pouods. He probably means
1,400,000,000 rounds.
