SPRING IN THE HEPPNER, HILLS.
Acres of pretty wild flowerB are
now in bloom on the sunny slopes
of the eternal Heniy Heppner
Hills, the peach treea are in bloom
and all nature smiles. The yellow
vested meadow-lark pours forth
his sweetest song, beginning with
the first suspicion of daylight,
while the dewdrops gleam and
glisten on the grass-blades these
magnificent mornings, and the
robin-redbreast warbles his even
ing hymn long after the sun has
dipped down in the west. Joaquin
Miller has traveled far and wide,
and when he walked afield here
the other morning he said that no
where else do the larks and robins
sing so sweetly. There is no im
pediment in their speech, no stut
tering in their songs.
A climb to the tops of the high
er hills encircling Heppner in later
afternoon gives an inspiring view
of the grand old Cascade range and
its snowy sentinels, and as this is
not a land where it is always after
noon, the sunset's golden glow
comes on, and the lingering lights
and loitering tints merge into the
afterglow and present a peaceful
picture not found in books.
A MINE OF WEALTH.
Right close to Heppner on the
south are thousands of acres of
good timber land which may be
bought from the government under
the timber and stone act at $2.50
an acre. No residing on the land
or settling on it is required, and in
the near future that timber is going
to be very valuable. It is compar
atively isolated now, but will not
long remain so, for capital is going
to ponetrate those forest fastnesses.
The man or woman who buys a
quarter-section of this timber land
makes a good investment.
The proooss of acquiring title is
very simple. Come to the Hep
pner Gazette oflice and make your
application, and at the end of ten
weeks makft your proof in llepp
nor, and in a few days afterward
you have full titlo to the land, to
sell or do as you ploase with it.
OKKtiON DEVELOPMENT.
Tho year 11KH) civos creat nrom
ise of doing much for Oregon and
especially Eastern Oregon, in the
way or. penetrating its groat in
terior with railioads.
The eastern section of tho state
Iihs large areas undeveloped which
have not yet hoard the whistle of
the locomotive, aud they have re
mained comparatively unproduc
tive. Thore are regions of mineral
and timber wealth well worthy of
being tapped, and now railroads
are going to invade them and haul
out their productions to tho mar
kets of the world.
The Columbia Southern railroad
is about to start on a campaign of
expausiou and extension clear to
the heart of the Blue mountains,
from which it will haul lumber
and ores. The Blue Mountain
region comprises a very large area
which will be eventually all settled
up aud make good homes for
thousands of people who will
come from regions where snows
are deeper and soil poorer.
The area of government and
etate school lands iu Oregon is
growing less every day, and it will
not be long before all of it open
to settlement and purchase will
Lave passed its title into tho hands
of tho people. Then the lands
will begin to bear their share of
the taxes, ami to become produc
tive, causing improved conditions
all nround. At Hal em Mnmiav
the State Laud Board sold 4323
acres, and ether sales are occur
ring right along. The days of open
ranges and practically unowned
lands are rapidly passing away.
The man who intends to farm or
raise stock should become the
owner of the necessary land while
yet it in low-priced, for present
values aie sure to go np.
The Heppner Gaiet 1ms one of the
iuohI complete printinu plants iu all
Oregon, and tan print; anything. Its
engine does the umpiring while its
weatpoagr preswes are grindiuj? out the
printed slmets like anon Hakes iu August,
I'OLITIX. ,
In the U. S. senate the other
day Joe Simon said a few words
about Oregon politix, and X-Sen-ator
Mitchell came back et him
with a whole page in the Oregon
ian. Then Senator Corbett had
his say in a few brief columns, and
it was all rich reading, and the
Oregonian did the fair thing by all
the boys, and printed a map of Mr.
Mitchell when he had more India
rubber in his step than he has now.
In Morrow county people are
pretty busy, but beginning to take
an interest in politix. 8everal
candidates are out for the Republi
can nominations. All are harmon
ious, and the defeated ones. will get
in and work for the nominees.
The Democratic county conven
tion will be in Heppner April 9, at
10 A. M.
The Umatilla Republican con
vention will be March 27; Demo
cratic April 7.
Wm. J. Bryan is announced to
make speeches in Oregon next week
and his nearest point to Heppner
will be Pendleton at 10 A. M.,
Thursday, March 29.
PROSPEROUS POST OFFICE.
The Heppner post ofhee under the
editorial management of B. F. Vaughn,
flourishes finely. Business increases
riulit along, and all the boxes are taken,
and Postmaster Vaughn will soon put in
additional ones, for it is a people's post
ollice, for the people, of the people and
by the people. Notwithstanding there
is a great demand for stamps and only
one post oflice in tbe town, you can buy
them here at the same price as at the
printshop in Washington where they
are made. You can leave your measure
for a letter at the Heppner post office
and get it as quickly as at any post office
in the world. Although the business
pays big, there has never been an at
tempt made to start a second post office
in Heppner. When Joe Williams and
Squire Mallory got through with the
post office they quietly drifted off into
other lines.
MisB Edith Vaughn has resigned her
position in the Heppner post office, and
her place has been taken by Miss Anna
McBride.
Upland Farming.
On the north slopes of the Heppner
Hills the best soil U found. D. B. Stal
ter has 70 acres of such soil in fall
wheat, and intends to add 20 more. He
has been enlarging bis acreage since he
started in '82, and has never had a
failure. From 40 acres he raised 1400
bushels on a second plowing. He now
owns 1050 acres, and considers Morrow
county a splendid region for farming
and stockraising. Starting with yt
cows and a handfull of horses he has
raised 500 head of cattle and 200 horses.
He now has 00 bead of cattle and calves
coining every night. He has built a
new barn 00x100, and has oceans ot hay.
For years Mr. Btalter pumped . water
for his stock, but now a simple syphon
tuns a -inch steady stream from the
bottom of his well, and no pumping is
necessary.
Not a Missing Trip.
B. F. Miller is proud of the fact that
his Heppner-Canyon City stage has not
missed a trip the past winter. This is
a good record for mountain roads,
which are now improving very fast.
There is grand scenery along this stage
line. On the 7-mile stretch of Mahog-
ony riuge you see tne Ureenhorn and
Malheur mountains, and along Dairy
ridge you see all the grand peaks of the
Cascade range.
WELCOME RAIN.
The ideal spring saoBUlne ot tbe past
three weeks is interrupted now by a
warm, gentle rain that began last night.
It is weloome, and will improve every
thing. There is plenty of moisture in
the ground, but streets were beginning
to get dusty.

Cockraa's Bptteh.
New York, March 14. In a speech
here tonight W. Bourke Cock ran bitter
ly denounced the attitude of the admin
istration toward Englaad in- her affairs
in South Africa, and almost advocated
rutaliation on the part of the United
States. He said :
"England seeks to in some extent jus
tify this way by our example, the ex
ample set by the government not the
people. It is said again that the people
of this country must remain neutral.
TbaUs as it should be. But I deny that
this country has been neutral. There
was long before this war in South Africa
began, a question between England and
the United States regarding the Alaskan
boundary. There was a claim pending.
I don't say that the moment this war
began in South Africa we should have
made a claim against England, but I do
a.iy that the advancement of a claim
should not have been delayed one 1110
ment. We ceased at that time to be
neutral. If the United States adminis
tration had gone on enforcing that claim
this war would never have begun. The
Canadian troops would have bad abuu
dant business at home.
"In his speech last night, President
McKinley said there was no alliance
with England. I believe that. It is
not an alliance. It's a surrender ; a sur
render of the control of our foreign
policy into the hands of the foreign
office. Ws da not get anything. We
give up and the government discharges
a consul at Pretoria because be com
plained that his mail had been opened.
A boy 24 years old is put in hia place,
the son of our former atub.-isador, and
more than that, he gets his last instruc
tions, not from the government at
Washington, but from the (oreign oflice
in London."
