PATRONIZE HOME MERCHANTS.
Not a mail arrives in Heppner
without numerous catalogues jn
viting patronage to institution
from abroad, and a vast amount oi
merchandise accompanies these
same catalogues. Many are the
reasons why this patronage should
be given to the home merchants,
These foreign concerns do not con
tribute one cent to the mainte
nance of your local institutions,
such as the schools, churches, etc
they bear no share of the expense
of your city and county govern
rnent, and instead of helping to
build up and improve your own
community and thereby increase
the value of all your interests your
patronage to them will ultimately
cost you many times what you pay
to them. Your duty by your loca
buisness men is to aid them al
you possibly can, thereby encour
aging them to rival all business
enterprises of other sections. It
is also the duty of the business
men of Heppner to resort to al
means of drawing attention to the
lines of goods they carry, keeping
constantly in touch with their
patrons. ' They should be alert to
all advertising matter encroaching
upon their terrritory, meeting it
ingeniously with like matter,
thereby impressing the minds of
those thoughtless enough to send
away for that which they can ob
tain at home from a reputable con
cern, that cannot afford to cheat
you
OUR CUSTOM HOUSES.
A contemporary who has devel
oped a propensity for extraordin
ary statistics, says the S. F. Bui
letin, has discovered that there are
several custom bouses in the Uni
ted States which are not self-sup
porting. In other words, their en.
tire receipts do not cover expendi
tures. One custom house has been
located in Oregon which expends
$131 for each dollar collected dur
ing a year. Exaotly what purpose
that custom house serves is known
probably to the collector. The
year referred to may have beeu a
bad one for that Oregon town.
A business revival might ohange
the balance to the oredit side of
fhe ledger. The statement is also
made that of 152 custom districts in
the United States only 101 are con
ducted at a profit to the govern
ment. In forty nine districts the
cost of each dollar collected was
in excess of one dollar. A num
oer ot districts are mentioned in
whioh the cost of collecting ranged
between $12.85 for each dollar col
lected to the $131 for the Oregon
district.
'There are aocording to this
gatherer of extraordinary Btatistiots
twelve oustom districts in which
there were no reoeipts, but the
government had to pay $0,209.73
to keep them going. It is proba
ble that a good many retired poll
tioians are housed in these customs
districts. Some of them have been
useful in congress, others in coun
cil and still others as stump
speakers- This is one form of
civil service pensions."
When we get the Philippines
fairly on our hands, there will be
on the same footing as one one re.
ferred to in the above article. But
they must be sustained in order to
to prevent the ever vigilant smug
gler from getting in his work.
O. R. tt N. MOVEMENT.
The LaQrande Chronicle says:
"Within a few years there will be
a very radical change in the lines
of railroad operation in the North
west It is quite probable that
the 0. It. A N. system will soon be
so extended and enlarged that the
export produots and heaviest
freight traflio will follow water
routes between Portland and the
principle intorior districts. It is
among the probabilities that the
larger portion of Grande Rondo
products for outward shipment
will follow the water course of the
Grande Hondo, Snake and the
Columbia and the more direct line
acroHS th mountain grades will be
reserved for passenger traffic, mail
aud express.
It is a great money saving
scheme in railroad operation to
avoid heavy grades, but this is not
the only iuduoement which has
sent 0. 11 fc N. surveying parties
into the water route sections.
There is a vast extent of new terri
tory to be opened up, great bodies
of timber, stone, marble and mm.
eral distriots to be readied. It is
among the reasonable probabilities
that the 0. 1?. & N. mileape jJJ
be doubled within five yeaw."
The East Oregonian says : "The
volunteers in the Phihpines are
coming home. They should come
home. They have fully served the
purpose of their enlistment They
enlisted to fight Spaniards and
free Cuba, not to conquor, or chase
half naked negroes over the hills
of the Philippines. If the govern
ment has gone into the business of
killing the 9,000,000 semi-barbarians
of those islands, those who
are hired for the bloody work had
better be given the job. American
volunteers can fight for liberty
and justice; can fight for freedom
and equality, but they are not fit
ted to fight for conquest, for an em
pire in distant climes, when the
voices of those who set up the
national cry against it The
American youth is a fighter when
he is sure he is right but at no
other time."

Tbe most delightful ride across the
continent is through Utah and Colorado,
over what is known as "TheSenloRuite
of the World." It matters not at what
season of tbe year tbe trip is made; at
no time does the eoeoery grow monot
onous. It is an everohanging panorama
ot the beauties of nature. One moment
you are pasning through gorges walled in
by rocks thousands ot feet high, and tbe
next you are above tbe enow line, skirt
inn peaks tbat tower above you untill
they seem almost to reach the sky. One
of tbe charaoierietios of the Colorado
climate is that the extremes of tempera
ture are never met with. It is neither so
oold in winter nor so warm in snmmer
as upon the lines of railway which cross
tbe deserts ud plttios. The traveler
over the Rio Grande Western also has
the privilege of a stopover, if be so
elects, at Salt Like City, or anywhere
between Ogden and Denver, on all
classes ot tickets.
