HEPPXEKS FALL TRADE.
Aa the beginning of the fall
trade is at baud the business men
6honId unite in tbeir efforts to
secure all they can by polling to
gether. Rival towns are wide
awake. The Dalles, Arlington and
Pendleton have their lieutenants
in the field. Catalogues of all
disciiptioos, from Portland to
New York, are arriving by each
ie ail; peddlers of all descriptions
areat work all around us.
To protect your own business
interests is to stir your
selves and meet them on every
turn. Heppner has the location
and the goods and it is her duty
to apprise the surrounding coun
try with these facts. She must
not sit idly by and suffer the loss
she has in the past Instead of
cutting prices, and running down
each others business right here in
town, they should stand united
and resort to a slaughter with out
side competition only. All resi
dents, from the woodsawyer to the
banker, have like interests, which
are dependent upon the success of
each other, end when a ruinous
strife is on between them each one
pays the cost To make a thriv
town we must stand together.
Whenever a town's growth cesses
its down-fall is in sight, and its
faneral comes swiftest when the
enterprise and profits of the busi
ness men are turned against each
other. As business men come to
Heppner they have studied the
field and it with the knowledge
that opportunities are offered
and the business men already
here should extend to them every
encouiagement and not allow their
jealousy or indifference to weight
them down.
President McKinlit baa sign
ed a proclamation to the people of
Cuba, which will be made public
in this country after it has been
published in Cuba, that will put
an end to all the silly talk about
this government not intending to
allow the Cubans to have any say
in the government of that island.
This proclamation tells the Cubans
that the census order taken in Cuba,
work upon which will shortly be
started and which it is hoped to
have completed in ninety days,
will be the first step towards an
independent government, and that
when the census is completed ar
rangements will be made for the
holding of local elections through
out the island, in order to give its
citizens an opportunity tc show
tbeir capacity for self-government,
and that as fast as the local au
thorities get tbeir government in
good working condition, the United
States troops will be withdrawn.
Copies of this proclamation have
been forwarded to General Brooke
at Havana, who is charged with
the duty of having it widely pub
lished throughout the island.
SECURE A FARM.
The thousands of abandoned
farms of New England are being
purchased by people from many
countries and are disappearing.
The old farms have a new value.
The Portuguese, the Italian, and
the Canadian is found io almost
every community, and it behooves
the thrifty New Englander to re
ceive his Latin neighbor well, for
he has come to stay and vote, and
his many children are to vote.
Tho outcome of these changes we
cannot foresee. But of one
thing we may be reasonably sure,
mat an nonest man can nave no
more honorable or stable posses
sion than a New England farm,Vn
which no mortgage remains, c-
coinpn&ieJ by the protectiou of a
sum equal to it valu) in some
siil id bank.
So I would repeat, whether in
New England or elsewhere: If you
have a farm, keep it; if not, get
one, for the time may come when
this country will be largely divided
into monopolists, ilependnnts, and
farmer, and the ftu-mer will be
the most independent of all men
and the saving power of our iusti
tutions. The relief fiom the per
plexing problems of the time is a
simple, honest, character-building,
faith-sustaiuibg life ou the soil.
The peruiHuency of tho New
England schools aud historical
scenery, the assured stability of
her manufactories, with a tendency
to create the "finest fabrics, the
prospective revival of commerce,
the grange, and the enterprises
incidental to these couditions
make the New England farm
an ideal possession. The New
farmer ho says that the farm is
a thing of the past is himself but
a product of the past The man
who has a five-thousand-dollar
farm in New England, with five
thousand dollars in the bauk, and
who will live within his means, is
a millionaire, and Lis possession
and coutentmeut are likely to
outlast that of the millionaire.
From "The Future Value of the
New England Farm," by Hezekiah
liatterwortb, io the American
Monthly Review of Reviews for
September.
There is a lesson for those who
believe that America is behind
Europe in medical science, or in
anything else, in a cablegram re
ceived several days ago bySurgeon
General Sternberg from the direc
tor general of the army medical
service of Great Britain. The
cablegram asked that three hun
dred copies of a United States
official publication, entitled "Sani
tary Lessons of the War" be sent
for distribution among the medical
officers of the British army and
that if that nnmber of copies
could not be furnished, permission
be given to reprint the pamphlet in
London. This cablegram is proof
of the newspaper statement that
England is preparing for war with
the Transvaal Republic, as well as
very complimentary to the medical
branch of our army.

You need have no fear as to style.
The same goods bought from the

A Sasplctja or Saieitle la the Old ity
Hotel Boiliiing.
Yesterday morning st 11 o'clock Coroner
U uulix.k was summoud to the old City hotel by
Wm. Tillard. nho had just discovered the re
mains of Harry Peters iu a small bedroom,
in the upper story. A coroner's jury wes at
once summoned together with Dr. Swinburne,
and at 2 o'lock betran an Inve titration into the
cause of tbe death. When found he was lyins;
on his face with both bands clutching bis ab
domen. Indicating his death from convulsions.
On a chair at his benside was a partially filled
flask of whisker and a glass. I'nder his pillow
was an emptied morphine bottle, which at first
seemed to solve the mysterious death, but from
the position of the body and other indications
the doctori concluded that dea'h was possibly
dm to cramp colic. His clothing was searched
and only a few trinkets found, among which
wss a letter received last Friday from his sister
with a I to remittance, as intercut from a share
of au estate belonging to him in New Jersey.
Al the conclusion of the investigation the jury
rendered the following vet. Hit :
"We, the underaisned. coroner's jury, 'em
panelled to ascertain the cause ol the death of
Harry (i. Peters, find that he came to ni d ath
from causes unknown, but ate satisfied fn rn
evirtence produced that there lias been no foul

The deceased was a well-known character
here and iu Pendleton, here he formerly kept
a saloon. He was identified with the indian
war as a scout. Of recent years he has followed
ibeepherdtng, and last year worked for C. A.
Khea. Most of his earnings went for whiskey,
and tho past few weeks he has been on a pro
tracted spree. He retained a sensitive nature,
the result of moral training in his youth, which
the letter from his devoted sister confirms, and
often expressed his realization that be was be
coming a burdeu to his friends, and would end
It all In suicide.

Just as the hopes of the grain producers in

slight damage done to crops by previous ralna,
Sunday night deluged the county with a torrent

strore the crops, besides damaging a great

are encouraged by some of those most interested
n ho nport that they yet have hopes of thresh
ing a good share of the crop, which is surely
encouraging. Those kwaiug have the consola
tion of bright prospects for next year's crop, as
this rain makes conditions most favorable
While the farmers who have no stock Interests
suffer a discouraging loss, others feel tbeir loss
will come back to them in the additional feed
on the ranges, and. without doubt, taking the
country as a w hole, tbe benefit of tbe rain will
outaeigh toe damage.
