L. McAlister, Morrow Comity Single
H.
Hero of the Philippine War, Visits
Heppner Monday.
Clad in his khaki uniform and a regn
lation military overcoat, appropriate for
tbe day, H. L. MoAlister, the stalwart
representative of our buochgrass ooun
ty, made his Brst appearanoe on onr
streets Monday. His retiring disposi
tion prevented his being particularly
oonspionous.but those fortunate enough
to oatch Bight of him at once formed a
procession and gathered about bins, ply
ing all sorts ot questions relative to his
experience with the dusky little devils
be had in endeavoring to exterminate
tbem as a member of the Second Ore
gon, earned the oountr's recognition
and gratitude. As Mr. MoAlister stands
over six feet in height with proportions
of a heroulps, we oan pronounce bim
m a formidable enemy for all the Phil
ippines that ventured in sight as any one
man selected by Uucle 8am to go
against them .
He was adverse to oritioism of army
reonlationa. hut did not hesitate in ac
knowledging that be, as well as all regu
lars, fou dm their enlistment a "job
that they o mid at quit or lay down
along side of," and predicts that tbe dis
cipline tbey were subj ot to will have a
tendency to prolong the j b tbe msjority
of tbiiui Hoorpt on their return. His
experience is now a treasure to him, but
he will repeat it only when Uncle Ham
allows bim no other recourse.
The voyage to nnd from the Mauds
baa inolined him tn turn bis baok on
tbe "sad sea waves," and he is satisfied
to gaze on tbe waving bunobgrass ot
Morrow oounty's rolling hills.
We bad but a few minntes iu tbe pres
ence of Mr. McAlister, and hope in tbe
near future to fnroisli our readers with
interesting matter concerning tbe ex
periences of his company in the far
away islands.

The total expense of tbe war and navy
departments during the year immedi
ately prior to tbo beginning of the war
with Spain were $ 10 1,000,000. .The ex
penses of these two departments since
beginning of tbe war witb Spain and up
to one year from that time wore $294,-
000,000. Iu other words tbe one year of
war cost the government in its war'and
navy departments just $1411, 000,000 more
than the year of peace which preceded it.
Congress met these extra war expens
es by voting extra tujci and a bond
issue. These taxs were by means of
extra and increased internal revenue
and amounted to $112,000,000.
In addition to tbis additional revenue
the government sold war bonds to tbe
amount of $175,000,000 and received
$l?.,0O0,000 from Pacific railway bonds.
The total increase of receipts from these
oauses was $220,000,000 over the preoed
leg year, Hubtrao'ing tbe war expenses
of $141,000,000 from the $229,000,000
raised by war tuxes and bonds it will be
seen that the war actually brought to the
treasury $,.ri(i ,000,000 more than it ooet.
