The fearful havoc, the result of
the Canyon City fire, should cause
the city of Heppner eeiious re
flection. Our town is bo situated,
and a majority of its buildings of
such inflammable material that un
less we are constantly on our guard
and thoroughly organized for an
emergency, the future may have
in store for us a conflagration
equal to that cf our neighboring
city. It behooves our young fire
department to spare no effort that
will perfect them for skillful work
when the issued requires it.

A newspaper whose columns
overflow with advertisements of
business men has more influence
in attracting the attention to and
building up a city or town than
any other agency that could be em
ployed. People go where there is
business. Capital and labor will
looate where there is an enterpris
ing community. No power on
earth is so Btrong to build up a
town as a newspaper well patron
ized, and its power should be ap

President McKinley is still re
ceiving congratulations, by mail,
from every section of the country
on the eadorsement given him and
his administration one of the
most remarkable indorsements
ever given to any president in the
middle of his administration by
the vorers of the country. The
big head is an affliction unknown
to him, but the president is natur
ally proud of the confidence in
him, whioh the re-election of a re
publican majority of the house
and the election of state legisla
tures, which insure a big repub
lican majority in the senate, ex
pressed, aDd anxious that his
future policy in connection with
our newly acquired territory and
his recommendations to congress,
shall be of such h nature as to
merit a continuance of that con
fidence. If a conscientious desire
to do the right thing for the
country will enable him to do it,
he will succeed.
admiral ecu ley, wno was one
of our military commissioners
charged with the duty of arrang
ing for the evacuation of Porto
Ilico, is in Washington. He
brought a full report of the work
of himself and colleagues in Porto

tne nanus or tne president, tie
refuses to discuss any of the
numerous sensational stories deal
ing with tbe relations, both per
Bonal and official, between himself
and Admiral Sampson, but has ex
pressed an ardeut desire to get
hold of tbe man who started tbe
story that he was a democrat, li
says that as a naval officer he has
no politics other than his country
and does not consider any other
necessary; that his first and para
mount duty is to the administra
tion, Secretary Long has not de
cided what duty Admiral Schley
will next be assigned to, but will
eudeavor to meet the admiral's
wishes after conferring with him.
. Davie of Medford?"
"Yes, sir," responded tbe nneospioione
old gentleman.
Tbe ioe thus being eneoeefnlly broken
the yonng stranger went on aek if Mr
Davie bappended to be aoqnainted with
Mr. Blank, of Medford, one of tbe lead
ing cilzeoa there, and on reoieviog an
affirmative reply, said be waa a nephew
of Blank's and was going down thereto
live and engage in business with hia
nnoleand wound up by asking tbe Divis-
es it they were going oat on tbe evening
train. Being as so red that they were, tbe
party separated with mutual expression
of pies ore in tbe anticipated journey
together; the stranger intimating that
bis sister and ber two obildren would
ia bim on tbe trip.
Evening came and in due season Mr.
and Mrs Davis were comfortably install-
eb in one of the coaches ct the South
bound express and qnietly wondering if
they were to enjoy tbe company of tbe
young stranger, bis sister and ber two
ohildren. While they were speaking of
the party, in they oame, tbe young man
making straight for tbe aged couple, to
whom be told a sorrowful tale of bag'
gage held up for want of ready money,
though be bad (and showed) plenty of
checks wherewith to settle all possible
expense, il be oonld bat oash them, but
being a stranger and sway from end ore
log friends, be could not get inch a favor
etc, etc., and so could not make tbe trip
but just wait until be heard from uoole,
Blank etc, etc, This mournful(? story
was accompanied by all the lugubrious
signs necoessnry to make it effective, tears
even figuring to eks out tbe desired im
pression.
Mr. aud Mrs. Davis, with the genuine
honesty of long lives honestly lived, and
in the warm kindness that possesses
hearts inured to trouble aud dissapoint
ment, opened their meagre purses and
save to the aorouudrel $60 the old
gentlemen furnishing $43 aud bis gentle
old wife the balanoe. Tbe stranger
hurried nway to release bis baggage (bis
eister having quietly disappeared in tbe
meantime,) promising to return instant
ly and settle down for the night journey
That be did not return, when tbe train
got under bead way, gave the old people
tbe first one to tbeontrage that bad been
imposed upon Ibein, and they were very
iodiunantand very sorrowful. A friend
whom they met en route to the east side,
promised to put the city police oo tbe
traok of the ooofldsnce operator and
it is hoped they may run bim down.
Tbe game is aa old as the bietory
ordne, and so ie the kindliness of deoeu
bnman nature.
The old gentlemen suffered most, ap
pereutly, Irom tbe wrong done bis wife
making light of hie own loss, and reiter
atin g his assurance that he "would work
bard and make it all god to ber even to
tbe last cent."
