THEN AND NOW.
In the great wool and Bheep in
dustries of the Heppner Hills and
Eastern Oregon changed condi
tions and improved conditions
have occurred. A few years ago
these important industries were all
but paralyzed, and people engaged
iu thorn had every proper provo
cation for being discouraged.
That dense gloom had settled
down over this region under a fiee
trade Democratic administration,
and continued while there was a
prospect of a continuance of free-tratle.
What a wonderful revival there
has boen in the great sheep and
wool industries under a protective
tariff! Values quickly olimbed to
hgurea that guaranteed sheep-rais
ers a resonable return for their
honest toil. The owner's rights
aro recognized and he is able to get
proper profits from his investment
and to pay his workmen fair wages.
Neither of those things was he
able to do under Cleveland free
trade.
When Mr. Bryan made his last
tour of the Northwest forty men
left lloppner and traveled many
miles for the purpose of hearing
him.
Now he is making another tour
of the Northwest, and yealerday
two men left Heppner to hear him
at Pendleton.
That looks us though conditons
had changed.
There are men in the Heppner
Hills who think that the defeat of
Mr. Bryan was the cause of confi
dence being restored, enabling the
American sheep to hold up his
head and bleat that ho again was
worthy of his koop.
MILD WINTER AT NOME. .
McRea and Nagel, two miners from
Nome, have arrived at Skagway, having
come up the Yukon with a reindeer team
in 46 days. They say the winter has
been very mild at Nome, that all neces
saries of life are plentiful and cheap
there, and the streams in all directions
are prospecting well. The discoveries
on the Siberian side are being left alone,
as it has been given out that foreign
miners will not be permitted. Many in
going men and women were met on the
frozen river, the latter suffering considerably.
At Dawson preparations were being
made for the spring clean-up which is
estimated at trom $12,000,000 to $30-
000,000.
RECREATION.
One of the best magazines of the day
is Recreation. It is a feast of stories of
hunting and fishing and sketches of
picturesque mountain life. It only
conts 10 cents a copy, and can be bought
at anv news stand. It is worth four
times its cost.
Heppner Masons Assist at Ita Installation
It was a gay partv that left Heppner
Saturday afternoon to assist in the in
stitution of a Masonic lodge at the sister
citv of IoDe, 16 miles down Willow
creek.
Everybody was in good spirits, and
such a fine array of men well set off the
fine equipage they rode in. The Masons
never do anything by halves, and Satur
day was their busy day. They were
out in force, and as usual made a great
success of it.
The main party went down in the new
and beautiful bus of the Palace hotel
drawn by four thoroughbreds. Will
Spencer and John Ayers went down in
a bucKV. Vawter Crawford went on his
wheel, and Peter O. Borg dashed down
in his cart, driving his prancing ink
black horse that he has just broken.
There were 25 Masons in the Heppner
party, and in the evening Ione Lodge
U. D.. was instituted with 12 charter
members and two candidates.

Sri'AKINd OF ITSELF.
With this issue the Heppner
'azot begins its 18th year with no
bald hairs in its head aud the swel
ling it started with considerably
gone down. It was born March
'29, '8,1, with a capital of 00 cents,
but backed by the business men of
Heppner, who went security for its
first big debts, and they all got
their money back. The paper has
since done the best it could to in
crease insomnia, aud has accumu
late! here one of the most com
plete printing plants in the state.
The (Jazet has preached to some
pretty large congregations, aud if
they were lined up and stood on
their heads at an angle of 45 de
grees the furthest one off would be
toasting his toos on the north pole.
If theQazet has left anything
uns'iid iu 17 years it has boen cn
account of lack of room. And
through it all, though its editor has
had to dig into the inkbarrel and
Hoive as devil, liookkeepor, etc,
ito , and so on, )t has never canned
dogs, has rarely got drunk, and has
used but very little profane lan
guttgo. It truly hopes that future
provocation for the latter will be
reducud to tho minimum, and that
it will succeed in its efforts to do
the fair thing by all. This year it
will nuiu attempt to settle the
long. standing dispute between tho
Kepublieau and Democratic par
ties.
IX A SOLDIER'S OK AVE.

FEAHT OF REASON.
After the lodge had been instituted
and put in working order the Entered
Apprentice Degree was conferod on
Thomas Graham and C. T. Walker.
After work and lodge closed Ione
lodge Inyited all the visitors to a boun
tiful banquet at the Hotel Ione, where
a table symbolic of a land of plenty was
sot for 40. It was a feast that was
relished, and the toast to Ione Lodge,
proponed by A. M. Gunn, was responded
to by Hon. Henry Black man, who dwelt
upon the good progress the town bad
made and how it had reached con
dition to support a Masonic lodge. He
hoped the lodge would prosper and
eventaally be as large as Heppner
Lodge, and keep pace with the growth
of Morrow county.
Mr. Gunn's toast "To the Master,"
was ably responded to by Master Cur-
ran, who feelingly thanked the Heppner
MtiHotiB for so kindly coming.
After the banquet the party returned
to MaBonic hall and enjoyed a social
mokor.
At 3 a. ni. nil were provided with
comfortable beds at the Hotel Ione, and
after a good breakfast Sunday morning
the Heppner Masons started on their
enjoyable ride up Willow creek to their
Heppner homes. They all speak In the
highest terms of praise of the hospi
tality of the lone people and of the
efficiency of Landlord J. A. Thomas,
of the Hotel lone.
BRYAN WAS INVITED.
Heppner people are up with the
times, from both Democratic and Re
publican standpoints, and when it was
found that Mr. Bryan was to tour Ore'
gon, a proper effort was made to give
Uoppner people a chance to hear what
he bad to say for his party and his
principles. The following telegrams
were exchanged:
Heppner, March 16, Hon. Wm. Jen
nings Bryan, Lincoln, Neb. Your Peru-
ooratic friends invite you to speak at
Heppner during your tour of Oregon
Answer our expense.

liams, Heppner, Ore. Your favor of
16th, directed to Mr. W. J. Bryan, in
which others join you, received, lie
directed me to say that it would be ira
possible for him to accept the kind in
viution which you extend, much to hi
regret. He appreciate the honor you
do him, and hopes to be able to meet
your people at some future time.
Very truly yours,
Chas..W. Bhyan,
