It seems only yesterday, and yet
it has been two years since Dew
ey's men went a-Maying in Ma
nila bay and cleaned out the Span
ish fleet. It was a great victory,
and if the affair could have only
ended with that victory, how many
precious lives of American sol
diers would have been saved,
how many lees Faciiio coast
homes would be laden with sorrow
for abwent loved ones who will
never return!
MORE MAILS.
The people of the Heppner Hills
region are much pleased with the
new train service, that brings them
The Oregonian the same day it is
printed, and thus keeps them in
close touch with the world. But
they feel that they are entitled to
their mail and daily paper seven
days a week, instead of six days,
as now.
The Sunday Oregonian, with its
wealth of interesting reading,
leaves Portland frenh from the
press, comes up the Columbia Val
ley and alights from the east
bound train at Heppner Junction.
It is still 45 miles from its Hepp
ner readers, and is sentenced to sit
around there 21 hours while its
subscribers are longing for it
Why? Because the good govern
ment has not yet gotten around to
giving Heppner people a seven-day
mail service.
While the Sunday Oregonsan is
still sitting around at Heppner
Junction, doing neither itself nor
anybody else any good, The Mon.
day Oregonian conies along and
says: "You are now out of date,
and might as well not go up to
Heppner you have slept on your
rights."
Losing a whole day at Heppner
Junction every week is Dot only
the fate of The Sunday Oregonian,
but also that of many letters which
nhould be in their owners' hands
at Heppner and the vast tributary
territory extending away to the
south for more than 100 miles.
The stage for Canyon City and in
tervening settlements does not
lnavo Hcppnor on Monday, because
there is no mail to take out. It is
impossible to take it out when it is
lying at tho junctiou 15 miles away.
And in the meantime the Hepp
ner business men receive Satui day
aftornoou's business letters, invol
ving thousands of dollars, which
require immediate attention. Say
that answers are at onue written
and posted in Heppuer. The gov
ernment lots them wait here for
o(5 hours bofore giving them a
Btart, aud Heppner business men
are given uudeserved blame for de
lay. Heppner people hope that their
great and good government will
note all these facte and give them
a seven-day mail service.

STATE CAMPAIGN.
Headquarters of the Republican
State Central Committee have been
opened in the Chamber of Com
merce building, Fortland. A fine
suite of five rooms, on the sixth
floor, has been secured, and is pro
vided with desks, chairs and such
other office furniture as will be
needed for the work. Office room
in desirable buildings is scarce now,
and it was only after a consider
able wait and search that Chair
man Steel and Secretary Duniway
were able to secure quarters.
Already the preliminary work of
the campaign is well under way.
All the incidents and details es
sential to getting party machinery
moving are being taken up. Sound
money and other Republican pol
icy literature will be circulated, to
offset the floods of silver and so
cialistic pamphlets being thrown
upon the community by the organ
ized f usionists. Information help
ful to the candidates in their work
and co-operation with the city and
county central committees of the
state will be only a small part of
the duties falling to the officers of
the central committee. Prepara
tions demonstrate that the cam
paign has been opened, and the
forces of the Republicans will be
found ready to fight.
PEANUT POLITICS.
The Dalles Chronicle says: The
Democrats ought to get together
again and decide just what it was
they agreed upon for a platform at
their state convention. We called
attention the other day to a card
that is being distributed among
railroad men in these parts on
which is printed what is claimed to
be a plank adopted bv the Demo
cratic convention at the request of
certain railroad men from Albina,
as a substitute for a plank drafted
by the platform committee. Now
the singular thing about this pre
tended plauk is that it did not ap
pear in the Oregonian's report nor
in the platform as published by
any paper that has come under
our obseivation, with the single ex
ception of the Times-Mountaineer.
A Pendleton semi-socialist sheet
printed it in separate form and
claimed the genuine plaiik had
been published previously by mis
take; and doubtless the bogus
plank is being used at Pendleton
for the same purpose it is being
used here, namely, to boost a Dem
ocrat into the legislature.
GOOD MAN.
Hood River Glacier: Malcolm
A. Moody was unanimously re
nominated for Congress. Hon. E.
L. Smith made the nominating
speech in the Distiict Convention
Mr. Moody's vote for the Porto
Rican tariff doesn't seem to have
hurt him with his constituents.
Republicans can quarrel over lead
ing issues that affect the policy of
our government until one might
think the party would be rent in
pieces, but when the nominating
conventions come round and the
campaigu is on they can come up
smiling, hold a love feast and vote
the straight ticket. Then they
will tell how Democrats still vote
for General Jackson. However, in
this case, Mr. Moody has been faith
ful to his trust and well deserved a
renomination.
WILL BE SORRY HE CAME.
St. Louis Globe Democrat: When
Dryan reads the news, early in
June, of the big Republican vic
tory in Oregon, he will realize the
folly of his recent visit to that
state. He made several speeches
in Oregon, and his dupes through
out the country have great hopes
on that account that the state will
go Democratic in the election a
few weeks henoa
Wheu they find, the day after the
voting, that the Republicans have
gained the state by a large major-
ity, they will see that their cham
pion is going to have the same sort
of luck that he had four years ago,
only more so. It would be better
for Brjan if he had pretended he
did not care how Oregon would go,
and had kept away from that state
until the election was over.
Morrow County's total registration to
date is 10.'4.
LIKE BUNCE'S MULE.
While George Cougar was taking a
spin dowu the bicycle path yesterday
evening he caught up with Section Fore
man Hey belt.
"I will take the road and give ymi a
race," said II. "All right," said'Ueo.
After distancing his competitor lieorge
came bark to sympathise with him, hut
he ecorned sympathy. He was dis
gusted with his wheel and talked loud
to it, and wound up bv telling it that it
was just like that old imiU of
Buncd'g came out away behind every

HEPPNER BRIDES.
No Heppner bride has as yet bad the
startling zperience of having her veil
and lemon blossoms get afire, but it hap
pened in London yesterday.
Miss de Staal, daughter to the Rus
sian ambassador, and cousin to Mrs.
Staal, who keeps one of the best brew
eries in Walla Walla, was getting mar"
ned to Count Chalkemoff, another Si
berian, and very foolishly carried a
lighted candle. Had she had proper
pockets to jam her bands down into, she
would not have needed a candle to drip
mutton tallow onto the wedding gown
that her mother had sat up nights to
make.
The breeze blew the candle flame
against her veil, and it blazed up and
caused great xciteraent. The groom,
having just been enjoying the healthful
pastime of chewing American fruit gum,
was well loaded to spat out any small
fire, and so only a little maiden-hair
was singed. .
The Prince of Whales was present and
honored the xtinguishing of the fire with
the stamp of his approval.

AFTER THE TICKS.
The general health of Morrow county's
staple property, sheep, is well looked
after both by owners and county au
thorities. In spite of the utmost care,
wildfire and scab will at times start in
a band of ebeep, and then they will be
gin biting themselves and trying to rub
down all the fences and hillside rocks,
for the irritating itch is upon them.
As a general rule Morrow county
sheep are in the best of health, thank
you. When any of them show symp
toms of scab they are promptly dipped
is strong solutions that will kill all para'
sites. When ticks get too numerous on
a band of sheep, dipping at once kills
them off.
Some sheepmen watch ticks pretty
closely and will not allow one on the
ranch. There is Judge Dutton, for in
stance. When his sheep have ticks be
not only dips them, but also sprays the
ground where they roost, and blows
insect powder into his clocks to kill
their ticks. No tick is allowed to live
very long on a Heppner sheeprancb,
because he sucks the vital fluid from
the sheep and reduces its strength and
keeps it biting off Its own wool while
standing around in good grass.

WOOL.
Shearing is now well along in the
Heppner Hills, and wool is coming in
quite freely to the Heppner warehouses.
Phil Cohn and R. F. Hynd are busy
men these days, but manage to handle
all the wool that comes along, and it
looks now as though they would handle
over 3,000,000 pounds of it here in Hepp
ner this year.
George t ell, of the Pendleton mills,
is here, but not to buy just yet. He
takes wool to scour, and one cent a pound
pays for scouring, baling, storing and
insuring.
Frank H. Johnson, writing the Gazet
from Rock Springs, Wyo., says: "I
am working west, and in 3 weeks will
be in Heppner. Market is now very
quiet, and all eyes are on the London
sales, which open Mar 5. Am sorry
to say we all look for a decline of 5 to
1 per cent. However, I sincerely
hope we are mistaken."
In Boston there has been a very light
business this week, and feeling among
dealers is that manufacturers are going;
to wait until after the London auction
sales, before buying , so that they can
govern their actions by the tone of the
market there. The movement in terri
tory wools has been abnormally small,
but the market is reported as fairly
steady. Quotations :
