CAMPAIGN COMING ON.
Quite a few men are going to be
elected to office early in the coming
leafy Jnne, and Bad to aay there
are many men who will fail of elec
tion. This ia almost always the
case, and the next election will be
no xception. The man or woman
who rnna for office most be pre
pared to take the medicine prepar
ed by the voters, and if it is the
kind that brings disappointment
and defeat, why, it is all in a life
time, and the philosophical phact
remains that other elections are to
come.
Oregon's election will be watch.
ed very closely by the nation. It
will be one of the straws indicat
ing which way the wind is likely
to blow in connection with the
presidential election next Novem
ber, when the great underlying
principles of the Republican par
ty will be again submitted to the
people's searchlight for general ap
proval.
People of the Ileppner Hills
have no real reason for desiring
change from the prosperous condi
tion of things which set in when
a Democratic administration
changed to a Republican adminis
tration.
All over Oregon a live, vigorous
campaign is about to open up, and
live issues will be fully oussed and
disoussed. While it will and
ought to be a vigorous campaign,
there is no reason why it Bbould
not be a clean campaign. Bbould
any unnecessary mud-slinging be
indulged in, it will not be oounte
nanond by the better element of
either party, and will be the work
of over-zealous hotheads who will
injure the oause they think they
are aiding. The dignity of Amnr
ioan politix should at all times be
preserved, and a fair spirit of tol
eration should prevail.

WOOL-GATHERING.
Morrow county's biggest and beet
crop of wool is now being harvest
ed, and the sheep are glad of it
Just Imagine if vou didn't weigh
any more than a sheep and 10 to
12 pound of wool accumulated on
your back, and it was suddenly
sheared off and you were lightened
up, wouldn't you just jump up in
the air and crack your heels to
gether, just like the other sheep
are now doing?
Shearing on the Bui Penland
sheep began Tuesday at the head
quarter ranch, the old MoLeran
place, on Balm fork. Mr. Penland
has only 15,000 sheep this year, and
a crew of 15 good shearers can
clip them all in about 8 days.
C. A. Rhea began shearing his
Bheep Monday at lone. They are
heavy yielders, and the yearlings
will give np 12 pounds.
Edgar Matteson and Lishe wat-
kins came up Sunday from the
Doherity & McDaid ranch, north
of Henpner. and returned there
Monday to finish their shearing.
Thev sav the increase there will
run up to 130 per cent.
M. S. Corrigal, of Sand Hollow,
came up yesterday with his clip of
190 sackB, and will get an average
of 11 pounds to the sheep, lie is
about through lambing, and says
everybody down his way iB getting
more tbanlOO ter cent increase.
John Meek, has just made a trip
along Butter knelt, and says all
sheepmen there are getting 117 to
120 per cent increase.
Shearing at Jim Hager's is going
on.
H. w. Barthelomew & Co. had
quite a few barren ewes, and only
got 2460 lambs from 2580 ewes.
Their 2-year-old wethers yielded
14 pounds.
BHEKP HALE
Bayer and aellers areitill apart in tbe
Heppner market, and there ere no islet

Grower! are Baking $2.50 for atraigbt
wetberi and 83 for ewea. Bayers say
they will give 82.00 for mixed yearlings
bnt can't seem to get any at that figure.
They aay that at that price and a 81.50
fleeoe, the grower ia getting $4 tor his
yearling.
APPLE BLOSSOMS.
Heppner's apple trees are now in full
bloom, and present a very pretty pict
ure.
The beauty of an apple blossom is
hard to rival, and few flowers attempt it,
for the apple has all nature on its side
and saves its waxen blossoms with their
pretty piok shading! for one grand
burst of beauty in the fragrant spring
time, the time when sparkling eon'
beams mix with April showers and
gladden the earth and freshen the grow
ing grains and grasses.
Although tbe past so-called winter in
tbe Heppner Hills has been mostly
spring, the coming of the apple blossoms
is hailed with jo, for they brighten the
landscape and give joy to the eye and
promise of an abundant fruitage.
MRS. J. P. RHEA AT REST.
A message to George Conser at tbe
bank Friday brought the sad news that
Mrs. James J. Rhea bad died at St.
Vincent's hospital in Portland, after
having an operation performed to relieve
a severe case ol pleurisy, rue best
surgical skill was employed, but life
could not be saved. A faithful husband
and brother watched day and night at
the sufferer's bedside, and were there
when the spark of life went out.
Mrs. Rhea's remains were brought up
on the train Saturday night to lone, and
the funeral procession started from there
Sunday, arriving in Heppner at 2 o'clock
Fully 300 people went up the hill
the cemetery, where services were held
by Rev. C. D. Nickelsen and appropri
ate singing was rendered by a volunteer
choir comprising Mrs. I. N. Prater,
M. Howard and wife, Geo. H. Thornton
and Rev. Nickelsen.
The handsome casket was completely
covered with flowers, and the pallbear
ers were D. W. Horner, A. M. Qunn
Dr. B. F. Vaughan, Mat Licheuthal
George Noble and S. J. Leezer.
Universal sorrow is expressed at Mrs
Rhea's death. She was highly esteemed
by all, and was one of the pioneers of
this country, having lived on Rhea
creek for more than 20 years.
HORSE BALES.
uutaide buyers Dave ereated a very
fair demand for horses in Heppner.
bnyer who will ship to Alaska baa just
made np a oarload, D. E. Oilman fur
nishing most of them. Two of tbem
were sold by P. O. Borg tor 8100 eaob
they were 1500-pound animals, ao
Chea. Valentine furnished two 1100
pounders at $70.
At Billy Gordon's stable J. I. Carton
bought a team of blaoks from Mr. Stan
Ion, of Eigbt Mile, for 8225. Tbey
weigh 1570 sod 1700, and are noble spec
imeas of Morrow count horses. Tb
best horses in the world are relied io
Morrow connty.
CATTLE COMING.
Grass has grown and accumulated to
rapidlv.oo the big Heppner range of
Win. Penland, the sheep-king, that he
has had to figure oat a new way of
having it ate up.
Mr. Penland sold off half of bis sheep
lust fall, reducing his flocks to abont
15,000, and sold 9000 of them 'for de
livery after shearing.
He is now stocking np with cattle,
and has bought in the Willamette valley
300Webfoot yearlings and will bring
them to his Heppner Hills range. -Tbey
will cost him about $19 a head delivered
at The Dalles May 1.
These calves will never regret having
left their native valley to come to the
Heppner Hills, for here they will find
better grass and a heap more sunshine.
TAXES.
Sheriff Andrews has reoenly col-
ected . taxes as follows: During
February $1234.56; March
I835L29; April $560.
Many inquiries are received at
the sheriffs office from parties re
siding at a distance conoermng
their taxes here, and all such let
ters are promptly answered by
Deputy sheriff E. H. Andrews.
Compared with other counties,
Morrow county taxes are low, and
the county s financial condition is
first-class.
to
O. R. A N. CUT-OFF.
A great many improvements have
been made during the past year in
straightening curves, etc., along the O.
R. & N., and one of tbe most important
that is being made is on the lower Uma
tilla river.
It has been found that by building a
new piece of road directly across coun
try from Coyote a saving of 12 miles will
be made, and the new route will be
practically on a water level. A saving
of that distance means a great saying of
time, and when the new cut-off ii finish
ed people will wonder why it had not
been made years ago.
Wool, Morrow county's best crop, ia
tow beginning to roll in.
Don't forget that beginning next Mon
day Heppner will havo all-daylight
trains botb ways.
