1IEPPNFR SHIPMENTS.
That Heppner is a very import
ant shipping point may be Been
from the following figures, which
show shipments made by rail from
here during the past year:
Wool, pounds 3,215,750
Cattle, cars 220
Sheep " 175
As will be seen by the notice of
Mat Lichtenthal, county treasurer,
he has cash to pay up warrants.
Morrow county is in good financial
condition.
The Oregonian of the 15th has a
picture of Consul Macrum, who
came home from Pretoria. He
looks like a man who would not
have sense enough to come home
or come in out of the rain.
There are many men in the
Ileppner Hills who paid double
price for their government lands,
and it is high time that the gov
ernment was refunding half oE it
or giving its equivalent iu land
scrip. Such delays are a disgrace
to a great government.
This is a great wool and mutton
produding region. In Morrow
county and its near neighborhood
there are close to 150,000 head of
surplus sheep for sale. The
spring increase takes tne place
of all the outgoing sheep, leaving
the numbor in Morrow county up
ward of 200,000.
The members of the Oregon
delegation in congress began ' life
in widely-scattered districts. Mr.
Tongue was born in Lincolnshire,
England, June 2.3, 1811, and Sen
ator Simon in Germany, in 1851,
Senator McBride was born in Yam
hill county, Oregon, March 23,
1851, and Representative Moody in
Brownsville, Oregon, Nov. 30, 1851
DON'T MAKE A MISTAKE.
People generally do not prob-
' ably notice the cuteness exhibited
by some of our very adroit politic
ians. For instance, in the case of
United States Senator McBride,
who is at his place at the National
capital,diligently attending to his
own business and working day and
night for the best interests of his
Oregon constituents in particular
and the whole Pacific Northwest
in general. Mr. McBride is not a
"wind hag;" but in committee
work where the greatest good is
accomplished, he is said to be a
power in fact being second to no
man in the upper house in carry
ing through measures of his un
dertaking. But that matters not;
the word is passed along that he
must be defeated for re-election,
and the bugle notes to begin the
attack were made last week through
the Oregonian. It may be right,
it may be proper, to turn a man
down just when he has attained
sufficient prominence in a body to
he or some benent to a state or
district; but. the Transcript does
not believe it. A few jears ago
Oregon had in Congress a delega
tion that was the acknowledged
peer of any state in the Union.
But Dolph went down through the
machinations of evil political de
signers; Hermann fell next; then
came Mitchell, and the worthy
trio that had done so much to
bring the Northwest into promi
nence were supplanted by new men.
And now when these servants of
the people have become sufficiently
acquainted with public men and
affairs to be of some benefit to their
constituents they, too, must be set
aside to give place to new and un
tried men of greed for no other
purpose. Transcript is not in
favor of monarchies; it does not
believe in issuing "life diplomas"
to men elected to offices. But it
does believe that where men per
form trusts given into their hands
faithfully and well, that it is a
Horious mistake to turn them down
so often for now and untried men,
either in county, statu, or National
politics. Vulley Transcript.

It is a matter of general com
meut that if last night's fire nlarra
had been souiidod sooner the 200
people in the Iloppncr opera house
might have stampeded, in which
cbb6 many might have been in
jured. The outside front doors are
wide enough for 8 people to pass
through at once, but in possible
stampedes such doors, always have
their capacity overtaxed. The
owner of the opera house, S. T.
Garrigues, intends to have the
doors enlarged, so to be on the safe
side and forestall poBsiblo acci
dents.
Heppner is the grand starting
point for the big bunds of sheep
that go east every year. Here the
transfers are made and the money
is paid, and the outfits are rigged
out. The averago expenditure of
each outfit at starting is $1000.
The sheep are driven in bandH of
about 7000, and the cost of driving
to Wyoming varies from 25 to 50
cents a head, according to luck
Hiid loss.
Id ones and twos the bodies of
the Oregon volunteers who lost
their lives iu Luzon are coming
home. Had to say, some of them
died through neglect, and on ac
count of having had their welfare
placed in the hands of incompe,
tent ollicors. One volunteer who
returned alive tells a sad story of
a chum dying of fever in hospital
at Manila. A little milk might
have saved him, and his friend
found a commissary officer who
would relent on rules and sell him
a can for 35 cents. Eagerly he
went to Captain Heath to got the
money, but got a cold refusal
Two days after, the neglected boy
was dead.
Oregon's poet and sweet singer,
"Walkoen Miller, has tired of rose
gardens and California sunshine,
and has come up to his old Oregon
on a lecturing tour. His poetry
is road the world over, and it is
very near to nature, for ho roamed
for years through the beautiful
Blue mountains south from
Heppner, where the summer sur
roundings would make auybody
pootical. Mr. Miller was the first
judge of Grant county, in the
early (iO's at the sume time that
Geo. Kinsely, of Hamilton, repre
reuted it in the Oregon legislature.
Hire is some tough taffy from
the Salem Sentiuol: "Down in
Clackamas county, the politicians
are already beginning the struggle
for supremacy. U'Bon, whom the
people had almost forgotten, has
written a letter that is, another
letter aud had it printed, saying
that Brownell is one of the most
honorable of public servants; in
fact the doughty U'lltm thiuks
Senator Krownell is just about per
fect, and is trying to make aliuont
everyone else thiuk so. U'Jieu's
praise ought to seal any man's
political fate, but Mr. Brownell's
record is already so bad that it
isn't likely ven U'Bon'a lauda
tions can hurt him."

In the Heppner hills live many pio
neer pntbUnciers of the northwest whose
early experiences would make thrilling
hooks. One of tbem is Billy Gordon,
from whose feed and sale stable horses
always come witb smiling furies and
full etomaobs.
for so young looking a tuiin, Billy has
liHii no res of eiperieuoe, aud bis old
rrieuds all over the northwest will be
glad to learu that be is ilouriHbing. In
the buir-raising days when hostile were
abroad he drove stage from Boise to
Weiser at times when the thermometer
stood 40 below. Then be took a change
to Apache Arizona, where the thermo
meter was 12') above. He has now net
tied down iuto one of the best business
men in ileppner, where the olimute does
not run to extremes.
A Curly Home.
One of the greatest curios in the
Ileppner Hills in the curly saddle-horse
owued by l'y VVblteis. The animal's
bair is a beauliful sorrel, and is twisted
aud twirled in kinks, as erfeot as the
bair on any darkey in tbe sunny south
land. Such a bursa would be an attrac
tion in a circus. He is a good saddle
horse, full of life aud vigor, and was raised
by Tom Mullock, who gave him to lvy.

London, Feb. 19. It is now confirmed
that General Oronje escaped. Every
detail reoeived proves bow, admirable
Lord KobertB' plans were oonoeived and
were succeeding. But for the unex
pected delay at Dekiel drift, which was
almost impassable for wagons, the whole
Boer force would have beeo surrounded.
Tbe delay of one day there gave tbem
their cbanoe for a hasty retreat. All the
other movements of Lord Roberts were
executed exactly on time. Apparently
General Cronje is retreating with tbe
main army, and eveu if be shall escape
altogether, he will probably lose all his
baggage.
There is still something doubtful
about tbe capture of tne British convoy.
According to a Daily Mail correspondent
with the convoy, which consisted of 200
wagons, eaoh loaded with 6000 pounds
of ration and of forage, and each drawn
by 16 oxen, it was quite unexpectedly
attacked by a oommand supposed to
oome from Ooleaberg. Tbe escort, con
sisting of 80 of the Gordon Highlanders,
40 men of the array eeivioe corps, and
a few of Kitohener's horse, maintained a
defense until the arrival of reinforce
ments, sustaining inHignificant oasualies-
Tbe Standard's correspondent at
Jacobsdal, Thnrsday, snye:
"An attack was made yesterday upon
the rear guard of oar main body by a
force of 1400 Boers, who were buried up
from Cole8berg. They succeeded in
capturing some of our wagons, but Lord
Roberts did not delay his march to re
take these. There were few casualties
on our side."

Specials from Ladysmitb report an
apparent movement of the Boers toward
tbe Free State, presumably with the ob
ject of asBieting General Buller in at
tempting another crossing of tbe Tugela
east of Colenso, after tbe capture of
HlaDgwaue bill, therefore, gives great
satisfaction. Buller'e losses so far have
been about 20 in wounded. His entire
army, witb tbe exoeption of General
Hart's brigade, is engaged in tbe opera

Obeveley, Feb 18 Gen. Buller bas
established headquarters on HiiHsar hill
Heavy artillery firing was maintained at
intervals by b th sides from Wednesday
until Friday. Tbe British stoutly
pushed the advance, aud their infantry
occupied entrfuched new positions in
front of Hussar bill, with slight loss. It
is believed the lyd iite worked bavoo in
tbe Boer treucbes.
Tbe Boers are supposed to have moved
their big guns back over the .Tugela
Fridav afternoon. Tbe riile tire bas
been heavy at times. The whole coun
try is thiokly wooded.
Tbe British operations aie directed to
the oiipture of Hlangwaue bill, where
the Boers are strongly fortified, aud
from whioh they are shilling tbe British
witb great aocnraoy.
The British infantry are uow deposited
along a line extending for several mile
to tbe small kopjes at the base of Monte
Gristo bill. From 0 o'clock Friday
morning the British inotBsantly shelled
Monte Gristo bill, witb the neck separat
ing it from Blaauwkranlz hill, on the
right. The British infuntry is making
slow progress up the npok iu tbe en

General Buller's casualties during the
last three days' operations have been
about 80, The British forces have uow

Humanity In War.
Arundel, Feb. 17. (Reoeived by dls
patch rider, Captain Longburst, of tbe
British medical corps, spent a nigbt at
Ilobkirk's farm, attending the wounded
Australians. He says that tbe enemy
were reumikably kind to the wounded
providing them witb mattresses aud giv
ing tbem all the eggs they ba 1.
Tbe Boers and the British wounded
fraternized. Noticing that the belts of
the enemy were filled with soft nosed
bullets, one of our men said:
"You oiijiht not to briug such things
to fire Bt us."
The Boers replied :
"We must use whatever we oau get.'
This Boer contingent hud come from
tbe northern district of the Transvaal
where the Boers are used to huutiug big
game along the Limpopo. The men bad
obtained their ammunition for that pur
pose. Oue Briton, whose thigh bad beeo
shattered, replied to this eiplana'iou
"Well. I wish yon had beeo kind
enough to shoot me lower down."
After the retirement of tbe British
foroes the Boers held a prayer meeting
and thanked heaven for their sncoess
They separated into small parties and
moved to their various outposts, ohaut
