Morrow county a thorough test beore
uuying. ne stayed here and farmed
for a year 8 years ago, and then returned
to Kansas, but now comes back to stay.

farm right. People here do not realize
the true value of their lands, and new
comers find here the lowest prices and
the best climate on earth.

hill. Mrs. Wren is viry anxious to be

Morrow county has an excellent cli
mate, and thousands of acres of low
priced lunds, and within a year after it
is discovered by homeseekers it is safe
to say without stuttering that its popu
lation will double.
The day is not distant when every
inch of land will be deeded and doubled
up in price. If you want to buy a good
324-acre place at $5 an acre , call on J
W. Redingtun, Gazette office.

Three young couples who came up
from Lexington Sunday evening to at
tend church in Heppner had a bad half
hour with a balky team. It took all
sorts of persuasion to get one of the
horses Btarted, but when he did start
he sawed the air like Whispering
Thompson used to with his gentle voice.
The team plunged and scratched all the
bark off the sidewalk, and down by the
slotter-house broke the tongue short off
at the pockets, and the boys had to put
in a fence-pole to get home on.

cm COUNCIL.
Chickens 'Banning at Large Should Wear
Mocoasins and Aprons.
Regular meeting wag held Monday night.
Present: Mayor Gilliam, Councilmen Simom,
Garrlguea, Rhea, Noble, Roberta; Recorder
Williams and Marshal Thornton.
The councilmen discussed aeveral matters
touching the beat interests of the taxpayers,
and the committee on atock atreet reported the
work well done, at a total coat of about $200 for
land and fencing. Marshal Thornton was in
structed to place algn .boards at the end of the
new atreet.
Following bills were ordered paid:

Heppner Gazette.. 7 80
Petltlona for renewal of liquor licenses were
granted to G. W. Swaggart, N. 8. Whetstone and
Mollie Reed.
The matter of building sidewalks came up,
and Councilman Garrlguea advocated letting
the matter rest until the mountain roads from
the home sawmills became better, and that
would give the people a chance to get out their
lumber. All the councilmen took the same
view of the case, and did not want to work any
hardship on the taxpayers. It seemed to be
the general opinion that if the sidewalks were
finished in about four months from now, that
would be the fair thing all round.
Councilman Pap Simons promptly paid a bet
that he made and lost with the mayor, by hand
ing over a cigar as long aa your arm, made to
order and hammered out on hia own anvil. It
reminded old timers of the iron spikes the
Snake Indiana used to shoot out of their Yager
rifles. It took the eye of the councilmen, and
would probably take their combined breaths
to smoke it, and keep the workmen of the
Btreet department busy shoveling its smoke
out of the city ball.
The subject of chickena running at large was
cussed and discussed, and while it was freely
admitted that the A merican hen was the best
machine on earth for manufacturing eggs, and
all were willing to take off their hats to her
and give her front aeata and high hats at the
opera, still, Councilman Pap Simona did not
think it the fair thing to have the neighbor'a
chickens fertilizing hia doorstep where he was
not going to sow aeeda, and causing him to
thus muss up the carpets when he went ho me
after dark. Councilman Garrlguea also brought
down the house by describing how he had to
keep customers waiting while he shooed chick
ena out of hia feed store. They came right in
the front door, and said they couldn't read
when their attention was politely called to the
keep oft' the grass aigna.
If the American hen doean't stay closer to her
own fertilizer hill in Heppner she is liable to
be branded and ordered kept up in the family
safe, with no chance to catch cod'.in moths.
The councilmen thoroughly discussed needed
changes and repairs of lights, bridges and road
ways, and all agreed to do everything neces
sary as soon as possible.

Old Put Came Back.
Eastern Oregon, with its bright sun
shine and invigorating air, has a strong
attraction for all who have ever lived
here, and many of those who go away
are glad to come back. This is not only
true of human beings, but also of animals.
Most old-timers of Heppner remem
ber the Matteson race horse, Old Put,
He was Lindsley stock, and in '78 Edgar
Matteson used to keep red stockings on
him and house him in a box stall, and
he used to run against the Cochran and
Sperry mares.
b or years Old Flit's range was along
the timbered edges of the Blue moun
tains, from the bead of Horse Gulch to
Woodrat canyon. In 1889 he was taken
by a new owner to Puget Sound and put
in pasture in the upper Puyallup vallev.
He became disgusted with the damp
ness, and one night took down the bars
and skipped.
Nothing more was heard of him until
recently, when he suddenly turned up
on his old range south of Heppner. Al
though he has voted at two presidential
elections since leaving here, he is still
hale and hearty, and the swimming of
riyers and floundering throw deep snows
while crossing the mountains on his 350
mile trip have not washed off his brand.
A horse that iivle Corbin sold here
was taken to the Willamette valley and
returned here by hand. He was again
taken there, and may now be on his
way back.
Eastern Oregon climate is a strong
attraction.
Fraternal Call.
A party of Heppner Masons, consist
ing of Sheriff Andrews. Mayor Gilliam,
Geo. Noble aod R. O. Wil's, drove down
Sunday to visit Assessor J. F. Willis,
bo hfif been very siok for some time
past. These gentlemen report having
a very pleasant drive, and finding Mr.
Willis feeling brighter and batter than
they expected.
