ThsGazette.
Thursday, Dec. 8, 1898.
Owing to an accident two im
ptrlact articles pertaining to our
cattle industry as improved by
Oscar Minor and N. C. Maria, and
tbe loss to our county owing to the
idleness of Heppner's flouring mill
were left over for next issue.
We take pleasure in introducing
the new Wepkly Heppner Gazette
to our Bubecribers, appreciating
their ability to judge its merits.
We invite them to make compari
son with the other county publi
cation, and as far as the number
of our subscribers is concerned, we
refer you to our lists which carry
a big mnjority of the county resi
dents, and are being increased
daily by volunteers, from the ranks
of our intelligent taxpayers who
appreciate honest pretense and
effort.
CoxGitEKS convened in Washing
ton Monday, and during a session,
between now and March 4, 1890, it
THE FIRE BRIGADE
Elrrliua of ORicrrt nd First Hun of th
Team.
At 2:30 P. M. Sunday (be Heppner
Fire department met Bt council chamber
and elected effiatra as follow:
Fritok Natter, obief; J as. Hart, assis
tant chief; Frank Huberts, captain No. 1 ;
E. L. Freeland, captain No 2, with E. W.
Rliea and E. M. ShaH assistants.
James Hart wag elected treasurer nod
Jess Stewart, "eoretary.
Arrangements were made to 8 eon re
nail tor tbe oee of tbe oompany. Any
failure to report at beadqnar'era cpon
an alarm being turned in means s fine of
from 50 oents to 81.50.
The Dames of those who have enlisted
in tbe companies so far are:
Fraok Natter, Jap. Hirt, Jess Stewart,
E. L. Freelaml. E. W. Rhea, Frank
Roberts, Bert Phelpa.E. M. Shutt, Wilt
Riebr.rdson, H. LI. Harrington, Jes

Thompson, Jack Horner, P. Devlo,
Frank Rasmus, Dave McAtee. Geo. Vin
cetit, Frank Bnra, Will 8mith, E. E.
Minor, Pearl Jones, Lee Cantwell and
Clyde Wells.
Tbe organization of the department
affords tbe city a feeling of seoarity that
it has not enjoyed in tbe past, owing to
the fact, that to be effective a fire depart
ment must have a head, and to work to
the best advantage drills are absolutely
necessary. Tbe mayor and oity conned
reooeni,"d these rqnirements in enter
taining tbe following petition nnder
will be confronted bymore perplex- j "ienataresof most of the present mem-
ing questions than at any time
since the close of the civil war.
These questions will be of an en
tirely different nature than were
thone of reconstruction, etc., but in
many instnnces they may prove of
more vital import, as upon the out
come may possibly depend peace
or more war with other envious
European nations. Telegram.
CorxTitY publishers receive sub
scrptions now and then from city
firms who can have no interest in
the loc il news of the paper. This
paragraph in the New York Times
may explain the reason for these
"foreign" subscriptions: "A whole
sale grocer in this city who has be
come rich at the business, says his
is that when he sells a bill of goods
on credit ho immediately sub
scribes for the local paper of his
debtor. Ho long as his customer
advertised liberally, he rested;
but ih soon as he began to con
tract his advertising space he took
the fact as evidence that there ' is
trouble ahead, and invariably went
for the debtor. Said he, 'The man
who in too poor to make his busi
ness known is to poor to do busi
iifHM. Tlio withdrawal of an ad
vertincment is evidence of weak
ncm tlnit, business men are not
slow to net upon. Theie's noth
ing like it."'

A BBIQHT LIGHT.

Lights.
Mr. Wm. O. Brown, of Portland, gen
eral egent for the Epwortb Acetylene
Gas Generator, baa pot plant with
even tampi in Low Tillard'a place. Mr.
Tillard is highly pleased with tbe result,
and many business men have been in
specting them. The intense brilliancy
of the little flames seem to extinguish
all the surrounding lights. In fact they
fairly rival tbe sunlight, and bring out
in bold relief tbe delicate shades and
colors of tbe various pictures on tbe wall.
Mr. Brown bas, beyond a doubt, demon
strated in tbe success of this machine all
that is claimed for aoetylene gas, which
is fast demonstrating its value for light
ing purposes, and is recognized by the
Underwriters Association as a safe, eer
viosble and satisfactory light. Mr. J.M.
Eeeney will sot as local agent for tbe
maohine, while Mr. H. K. Bennett will
introduce it in Umatilla county. Many
of the principal bnsiness men are mak
ing a very careful study of the new sys

HIGHBINDERS WANTED
The Chinese Government is Trying to Get a
Chance at them.
Washington, Dm. 2. Tbe Chinese
government, through its minister, Wu
Ting Fang, has broaobed to tbe author
ities hero the willingness of China to
negotiate an extradition treaty applio ible
to all criminals, but intended in part
icular to reach the highbinders.
Tbe Chinese government believes tbe
highbinder troubles in this oonnty oper
ate quite as much agaiutit lawabidiug
Chinese aud the Cbiuese government
as against the parties to theseoret orimes.
Therefore China wishes to have such
criminals returned to her domain for
trial.
Little doubt is entertained here that
it China onoe secured possession of the
highbinders, abort work would ba made
of them, owing to the prji1ice they
have brought upon tbe government.
Moreover it ia believed that tbe senate,
to which such a treaty would have to be
referred to for ratification, would act
favorably upon it and that it would stir
up animosities and agitations on tbe
Chinese question in general rather than
aooomplisb any spaoial gojd in the
direotion desired.
The Chinese authorities have' now,
theref ire, gone further than to broaoh
tbe subject to the officials here and learn
how auoh a treat would bi viewed,
although Ibey stand ready at any time
to assume the burden of dealing with tbe
highbinders and other Chinese criminals,
if a naturalization treaty should give
tbem jurisdiction over tbe offenders,
