THE CAMPAIGN.
A joint meeting was held Mon
day evening of the executive com
mittee of the Morrow county Re
publican Club and the Morrow
County Republican Central Com
mittee; President G. W. Thelps, of the
club, and R. F. Hynd, chairman of
the committee, mapped out a plan
of vigorous campaign, whose de
tails will be carried out later on.
The campaign will be opened op
in Morrow county during the first
week in May, when there will be a
Republican rally and first-class
speaking on national and local is
sues. The Republicans of Morrow
county have a good ticket, and
Lave every reason to feel sanguine
of success in electing it.
As near as can be ascertained,
Morrow county's population is
now about G000. The vote cast
in 1808 was 1098, and a fair in
crease is looked for on these figures
in the J une election. So far near
ly 1000 voters have registered, and
there still remains 20 days in which
to register.
PEOPLE ARE WANTED.
To the farmers of the middle
west who want to raise sheep, cat
tle and horses, but oannot do it on
land that is worth 1100 to $150 an
acre, let it be said, sell that high.
priced land and come to Eastern
Oregon, where you can buy 10
acres for the money you receive
for one acre where you ap now.
Herein Morrcw county you can
buy lauds at prices away below
their actual value, and the climate
is equable, with no cyclones to de
stroy homes. Morrow county can
easily make room for double its
present population of 0000. It
needs men with moderate capital
to buy farms and stock-ranches; it
needs lumbermen to bring into
market the timbur of its southern
section; it needs men of capital
and energy to bore wells and irri
gate its semi-arid northern end,
where water will make anything
grow and produce most bountiful
ly. Morrow oouuty has room for
thousands of new people of energy
and moderate means, and they
will find here unRurpassed oppor
tunities for founding homes and
increoHing their wealth, while at
the name time enjoying life in a
most excellent climate.
MTOCK SHIPMENTS.
The O. It. A N. stockyards at Hepp
ner are expecting lively times beginning
about May 10. Heppner is a great
shipping point, and its stock start
away toward all part o( the compass.
Already this season 200 carloads of
sheep, cattle and horses have bought
tickets for trips over the O. R. A N. and
its connecting lines, and thev will be
gin going about the 10th. They will all
be fat and sleek, and will be walking
advertisements for the nourishing qual
ities of the grains and grasses of the
Heppner Hills.

HE WHO HESITATES.
New York, April 23. A special
to the Herald from Washington
says: Admiral Dewey is hesitat
ing abont issuing his political state
ment. Men close to the Admiral
are urging him to speak and to
speak promptly, while others are
impressing upon him the value of
the rule, "Silence is golden."
Admiral Dewey is inclined to re
gard this i ale with favor and to be
lieve this is not the time for him
to talk. His mail and his callers
assure him that bis candidacy is
progressing favorably. What is
there for him to gain, he asks him
self, by issuing a statement?
Admiral Dewey thinks the time
to act is when an emergency arises.
He is closely watching political
developments in the several states.
His friends are keeping him ad
vised of the situation, and are ac
tively trying to break the Bryan
forces in his behalf. The Admiral
is particularly interested in Geor
gia and Texas. If the delegates
in those states can be sent to Kan
sas City without instructions or
with instrnctions to vote for the
Admiral, the latter believes that
the Bryan South will be trans
formed into the Dewey South.
Admiral Dewey's friends are
somewhat disappointed over the
failure of former President Cleve
land to mention bim either direct
ly or indirectly in his letter of re
gret to the Thomas Jefferson din
ner of the Brooklyn Democratic
Club. Mr Cleveland is recog
nized ae favorable .to the Admir
al's candidacy, and some of the
Dewey men think he might have
given impetus to the Dewey boom
by inserting some reference to the
Admiral's candidacy.
COLD DAYS AT NOME.
C, P. Dam and Captain Aeuk
man, United States mailcarriers,
have arrived at Victoria from
Nome, which point they left Jan
uary 24 They came out over the
Katmai route. They report great
distress at Nome, and a scaroity of
fuel. The cold is piercing in its
intensity, and the problem of pro
tection from the awful cold is be
coming a most serious one.
All wood gathered from the
beach has been consumed with the
exception of a few piles, the own
ers of which are guarding with ri
fles to prevent stealing, which is
common. Une miner nas been
shot. There was talk of a miners'
meeting to compel h division of the
fuel. Wood is selling at $50 a
cord, and coal at $150 a ton. There
will be a fortune for the first stea
mer landing fuel.
A rich strike has been made at
Ophir, on Old Creek, a tributary
of the Neauacbuck. Reports of
Siberian finds are not accepted
seriously. Norman R. 8mith, dep
uty surveyor, who has reached
Nome from there, staked a number
of claims for himself, and the N.
A. T. Co., whose power of attorney
he held.
The stampeders have returned
from Unahlik ami report that the
beach had been systematically
Baited. Norton Day is rivaling
Nome. A series of tragedies
have taken place there, involving
the killing of Wright, slow death
by starvation and cold of Keyser,
the disappearance of Hcott and an
accidental death at Haines.
LIVE YOUNG MEN.
One of the enterprising young busi
ness hoiiHes of Heppner is tbe retail
grocery of MaMock & Hart. Its pro
prietors are young men of vim and
push, and they are determined to work
their way to the very front. They keop
up with the pace of progress, and in
vite people to come and see that their
stock is choice and fresh.
FREIGHTING NOW ON.
The great State road which gives the
immense interior region close connec
tion with the O. R. & N. railroad eye'
tern at Heppner is now becoming a scene
of great activity, and will sooo be lined
along its entire length of over 100 miles
with freiicht outfits of all kinds and
sizes. Their number Is increasing right
along, and they are carrying large car
goes of general merchandise and sup
plies for towns, farms and ranches.
These goods have been accumulating
in the warehouses of the Morrow
County Land and Trust Co. and Henry
Heppner, and will now be sent on their
way rejoicing.
The great wagon highway out of
Heppner is getting better every day
now, and is ahead of its usual spring
condition. Its construction by ths
State was a wise expenditure of $10,000
of the people's money for the sole bene
fit of the people. It gave the interior
an outlet for its products that it bad
never had before, and gave it close
connections with tbe outside world.
Several freighters pulled out this
week for the John Day country, all of
tin in loaded with every ounce their
wagons would bear. Tip Williams, the
veteran freighter, had a big cargo for
Hamilton and Monument, and rode
bis old time nigh horse wheeler.
Marion Rounds and Frank Green
started Sunday with big loads for I.org
Creek, and Jessie Smith began bis 104
mile trip to Canyon City. On Monday
Fred Shank pulled out for Canyon with
two teams and an immense amount of
goods.
Freighting will increase rigtit along
now.

At Baker City tbe weather continues
pleasant. Mining operations in all of

normal conditions. Idle men are going
to work ; prospectors are daily leaving

CLIPPING COUPONS.
George Conser, cashier of the First
National Bank, went out Sunday to see
lug sheep at the James Hayesranch in
Sanford canyon, and was accompanied
by Mac Clarke and H. W. Bartholo
mew, the merchants.
They found the sheep feasting on the
best grass ever seen in the Heppter
Hills, and the crop of lambs simply im
mense. Every one of them was full of
life and vigor and was trying its level
best to get in every minute at play.
Tbe ewes that have already lambed
number 2100, and 900 more were on the
program for this week. The increase
promises to be away over the 100 per cent
mark, and the lambs are very vigorous'
and healthy. Clipping coupons of
lambs and first class wool from such
sheep is one of the best investments
ever made by Cashier Conser or any
other man.
The range owned by James Hayes,
the old Rush Brothers' place, comprises
over 5000 acres, and is one of the best
in the world. Its mere increase in
value alone, which is sure to come,
ought to make its owner rich.
Caught a Dreadful Cold.
Marion Kooke, manager for' T. M.
Thompson, a large importer of fine mil
lirjery at 1658 Milwaukee Avenue, Chi
cago, save: "Daring tbe late severe
weather I oaught dreadful cold wbiob
kept me awake at night and made me
nnfit to attend my work daring tbe day.
One of my milliners was taking Cham
berlain's Cough Kenedy for a severe
oold at tbat time, which seemed to relieve
her so quickly that I bought some for
myself. It aoted like magic and I began
to improve at once. I am now entirely
well and feel very pleased to acknowl
edge its merits." For sale by Conser
