t LATEST WAR NEWS.
Koberti to Adranos. , . .
London, April 17. At last General
Roberts seems to be on the eve of raak
ing his advance toward Pretoria. Un
less all usual reliable- sources oK, infor
mation and all indications smuggled
past censor are at fault, the British ar
my, with a few days,; will iberaarching
northward.
There is, even in the best-informed
circles, considerable hesitancy in settling
upon the day on which Lord Roberts is
likely to leave Bloemfoiiteiu, but there
is a settled impression that it will occur
either at tbe end of this week or at the
beginning of next. Long, weary wait
ing in the Free State capital has appar
ently effected much-needed rehabilia
tion, though it is probable that Lord
Roberts would still further have delay
ed his advance had not Boer activity
forced him to put his force in such posi
tions that, today, unless they quickly
proceed northward, the strategic advan
tage wilt be lost, i -" ' r- "' f '
The critics agree in the supposition
that the advance will be made in paral
lel columns, with a broad front west of
the railroad, the Third and Eighth Div
isions sweeping northward to the ex
treme northwest, the1 entire force
amounting to 75,000; men, i Exactly
what part General Butler will take is a
secret which no one is able to probe. ' .
From the seat of war there is a sig
nificant 'silence. From, ; The Hague
comes the news that the Boer delegates
refuse to make public the object of their
mission. They hope to be received by
Queen Wilhelmina, but nothing in this
direction has yet been decided upon. !
I Roers Are Active. V '
Maseru, Basutoland, April 16. Tbe
Boers for two days past have been dis
playing great activity along the Red
dersberg,and Rouxville road. Their
scouts report that the British are advan
cing on those places to the relief of Wep
ener, and the burghers consequently are
divided whether to remain or retire. A
majority of them desire to abandon
the investment of Wepener; fearing to
be cut off, while the minority,- led by
commander Oliver, are reluctant to
move as long, as there is. a chance to
capture Colonel Dalgety'a garrison.
Scouts have just reported rifle firing
in the direction of Thabanchu.

have at last been accomplished in wire

I MRS. SIMONS DEAD. ,,
Was Over 1U4 years Old, and Mother of Pap
! slmon.
Heppner people .well remember the
beautiful patch-work quilt' that was on
exhibition in Rhea & Welch's window
last Summer, and that was made by Pap
Simon's mother when she was more
than 100 years old. It was a very skill
ful piece of work, and the thread it con
tained was spun by the old lady.
Mrs. Simons died last -week, and the
Kansas City Times gave the following
sketch of her: ?t ;.' ; :r u
After living four years beyond the
century markto be explicit, after-
life lasting 104 years, two months and
eight day Mrs. Mary Simons died at
8 o'clock ibursuay morning at the home
of her daughter, Mrs. Manzey, at Blue
Springs. Though her death caused a
shock to her relatives it was not unex
pected, as dissolution had been progres
sing for several days. . . .. -' i
Kegaiding the extreme age of Mrs. B-
mons tier memory was remarkably
bright and clear. Hhe was the refereuce
book, so to speak, of her neigbbors and
talked intereetinuly of the days of Wash
ington and the administration of Thom
as Jefferson. She is said to have been
a veritable' encyclopedia on the war of
1812, at all times manifesting an intense
interest in reciting the details, of. that
trying period' pf the nation's history.
One peculiarity of this aged woman was
that her memory of happenings a quarter
of a century ago was more vivid .than
of events in the immediate past. '
in disposition she is said to bave been
a model woman kind,' considerate and
gentle. . Industry va4 a part of br re
ligion and she was fond of out of door
life, spending a great deal of time in
her garden. She was an artist with the
needle, and up to her last illness gave
a great deal of her time to embroidery
and quilting. - '
Mrs. hi mons was married at tbe aire
of riineteesrahd gave birth to thirteeh
children. Her husband preceded her
to the grave years ago and at -the time
of her death she was drawing a pension
for the killing of a son in the union army
in the war of the 00s. Her husband
was a soldier in the war of 1812.
Those who urge that the use pf tobac
co is injurious t the system have a
problem to solva in the life of this wo
man. The remarkable statement is
vouched for that she began smoking
when three years old and kepi tt tin the
remainder of her life, over a century, '

' The enemy, numbering 150 riflemen,
the remainder being balomen, archers
and mounted spearmen, swooped down
in a howling mass at daylight, surpris
ing and killing three of the sentries.
They swarmed through tbe streets in
small parties, some bearing scaling lad

formed in the plazas and companies be

Twelve of the wounded Americans are

HOT WATER FIGHT.
At Heppner's sister city of Boise,
Idaho, nature has furnished a most
bountiful supply of hot water right on
top of the ground, and it is piped all
over town and warms the buildings in
winter. ; Nature has done her part, but
how man is fighting over the handling
ot her work. The Boise city council
bs rejected the offer of the Artesian
Hot A Cold Water Company to furnish
Are pressure, street sprinkling, sewer
flushlng and like public water require-,
ments for $11,001 a year, and has de
termined to try to require the company
to deliver public water res. Tbe action
was taken on the ground that a franch
ise to furnish water to private con
sumers at a fair compensation carries
with it the obligation to deliver city
water without charge, and any payment
made by the city on such account is
illegal, and any contract to pay money
for such service is void.
The city of Ritter, at McDufTy'e
springs, should profit by this xperience,
and arrange matters so that there will
be no Bghting over her water in the
iututa.

GOLD IN LUZON, v v '
Charles Wyland, of Heppner,
who fought through the Philippine
war with the Washington volun
teers, brought home a strong' im-
fires'sion that ' there were gold
edges and placers in Luzon, and
several Montana and Idaho volun
teers absorbed the aame idea" from
what they saw. .. .
' Late advices from Manila say
tbat William Odun, who is spoken
of as a miner of large experience,
has returned from a prospecting
trip on the distant coast of Vigan.
He showed rich specimens of gold,
And (lardArnrl that ha had lnnntarl m
ledge of quartz as rich as anything
in Colorado or California. . He . is
organizing a company of .ex-sol.
diers, and will go into the moun
tain districts to secure claims. H
says: "Never, before did. I tee
such indications of mineral wealth.
I have traveled from the Klondike
to South Africa,. and I am con
vinced that there is not a much
richer mineral country in the world
than the island of Luzon.'.'
-..PARIS FAIR.
Denis de Porte, known while lo Hepp
ner as Denny the Frenchman, in cabling
to a friend in Heppner, says that the big
.Paris Exposition opened Sunday, and
that the crowds were largef than be
ever mixed up in in Oregon or Alaska.
He regretted not meeting many Hepn-
ner people there, and still he was glad
they did not come, for the xposition ia
not In shape at all, and most buildings
are unfinished. There ;waa no music,
and most Paris people xcept Denny kept
away. The moving sidewalks were
running all right, and it cost 4 bits to
ride on them. If such things were run
at Heppner, there would be new homes
all over the hills. Some of the unfin
ished walks in the xposition grounds are
l rougher than the trails in the Jotin Day
mountains where Denny need to hunt,
