BIGMOUTH JOE.
On tne shores of upper Rhea krick,
Where the silver birches grow,
Lived a warrior with bis mother,
Many, many moons ago.
There he chased the bears and panthers
Frors the fiercest took the pelt ;
And the scalps of many foemen
Dangled from his wampum belt.
He was bravest of the warriors
He was fleet and keen of sight
Was beloved by all his kinsmen,
Till lemon extract made him tight.
HEPPNER AHEAD.
Henry Heppner, the pioneer founder
of the town, returned Tuesday from his
trip to Western Oregon and California.
Of all the towns he visited, not one
would outshine this town of Heppner in
general business conditions. In fact, in
volume of actual bu-iness bandied,
Heppner, in proportion to its population,
is away ahead of almost all of them.
MONUMENTS FOR PIONEERS.
The pathfinders who settled this East
ern Oregon country and were such fac
tors in its development, richly deserve
lofty and lasting monuments, for they
began good work which is of vast bene'
fit to the world.
The good they accomplished is a
monument in itself, but it is also fitting
that monuments of lasting stone be
erected to their memory.
The pioneers thus being remembered
here this week are Press Thompson,
Nelse Jones and John Elder, and the
work has been done by Mr. Vinson, of
Walla Walla, and a force of masons
The Thompson obelisk is quite hand
some, and is composed of Vermont and
Snake river granite. Next week Mr.
Vinson will put up the Evans monu
ment, which is composed entirely of
native northwest granite.
Wireless Telegraphy.
It is said that successful experiments
have at last been accomplished in wire
less telegraphy, and this wonld undoubt
edly be a good thing, and revolutionize
many ways of doing business. One
writer has gone so far as to say tnat
wireless telegraphy Is the greatest dis
covery of the age. , We beg to differ.
Dnn't overlook Hoatetter'e Htomaoh Bit
ters when you talk about the great
things of the world. This peerless med
icine bus done mora to promote health
sod settle stomach troubles than any
other medioine In existence. It onres
dyspepsia, indigestion, malaria and con
stipation. It never fails. Try it, and
be sure and get the genuine, with Pri
vate Revenue Stamp over the neok of
Dottle. Don't let the druggist palm off a
"Bohstitnte "
ALL ARE WELCOME.
When outside people come to Hepp
ner they find eyerything on eartn in
Heppner's stores. They find first-class
feed stables in which to put up their
teams, and if they prefer to bring along
their own feed they are welcome to tne
free use of the feed yard the city has
provided near the city hall. Marshal
Thornton has recently put it in first
class shape( and there is an abundance
of city water.
Millions Given Away.
It is certainly gratifying to the public
to know ot one concern id the land who
are not afraid to be generous to the
needy and suffering. The proprietors of
Dr. King's New Discovery for Con
sumption, Oougbs and Colds, have given
awuy over ten million trial bottles of
this great mediuine, and have the satis
faction ot knowing it bas absolutely
onred thousands of hopeless ouses.
Asthma, Bronchitis, Hoarseness and all
diseases of the Throat, Chest and
Longs are surely cured by it. Call on
Conser & Warren Drug Co., and get a
free trial bottle. Regular size olio, and
$1. Every bottle guaranteed, or price
refunded.
BEWARE THE ENGLISH BOAT.
The Ballard. Wash., News says: At
den Gifford, who sailed for Nome on the
Alpha, in a letter to The News, irom
Vancouver, B. O., says that if the good
Lord will forgive him he will never
take an English boat again. After pay'
ing duty and other charges on a jag of
freight a child could pack off, the
Canucks stood him up for $90 for it by
measure. He savs he will nave to
strike a Golconda to get even with the
Alpha people. It is quite generally be'
lieved that this boat will be stopped by
a revenue cutter, but on what grounds
no one seems to know, bhe carries
over two hundred passengers and a lot
of freight which it is believed by many
will be unloaded on the ice at INome m
15 days, and a month earlier than any
other boat will land. The Alpha was
the last boat out last season, and her
captain strikes one as being a man who
knows his business. Frank McQuillan,
who was in Nome last year and went in
the Alpha this week says that boats will
run up there every month in the year
after this season. He says that the
reason boats are not now going up is
because of the difficulty in getting in'
surance. the insurance companies hav
ing banded together for the purpose of
lessening the risk. Captains from the
Yukon say that that river is now open,
six weeks earlier than for many years
This indicates that the mildness of last
winter extended to Alaska.
A Continual Stream of
TWO THINGS HEPPNER NEEDS.
One is an express office in the busi
ness center.
Another is a telegraph office' in the
business center.
Both of these modern and indispen
sable institutions are now located at the
depot, which is a long way from the
business center.
In pioneer stage days they used to be
located at Cash Mallory's corner, where
a few stops made thorn accessible to all.
In thoce modern railroad days, when
everything else is made more conven
ient, they have become very inaccessi
ble. A live town of 1200 people, like Hepp
ner, is certainly deserving ol better
treatment by the express and telegraph
company.
And wlulo express rates to Heppner
are apparently much higher than to
other points, still the express company
does not deliver the goods as they are
delivered in other towns. A person in
Portland, for instance, sends a package
to a man in Ileppuer, and fully prepays
the high charges. The first thing the
man in Heppner knows about it is when
the local dray company brings him the
package and requires him to pay for its
carriage from the depot.
Heppner does not want the eartn.
but there are a few things it wants, is
entitled to, and ought to have.

That immense stretch of rich and
prosperous country to the south of Hepp
ner is again laying in its big Btocks of
general merchandise, and its goods ure
piled high in the two big warehouses of
Heppner.
Big freight wagons are beginning to
come after the goods, and they roll into
Heppner with the morry finale of musi
cal bells hung on springy arches on the
lianas of the load horses.
