Quite rapidly now the pioneers of Morrow county are erecting new houses to replace the temporary structures they have lived in for years, and which have served good purposes in giving people a start In a new country. . George Vinson, at the forks of Butter creek, has prospered by honest toil and persevering industry, and now that he has improved his place and made it one of the best in Morrow county, he has concluded to build one of the best hous es in the county. J. J. Roberts goes over there to-day to begin work on the new building. It will contain ten rooms, and be substantial and complete, for Jim Roberts builds no other kind. A HOME ' MONUMENT. An $800 monument to be made en tirely of granite from Niles & Vinson's quarry on Snake river has been ordered by Mr. G. M. Morrison, of Adams, Oregon. This Is true encouragement to borne industry. There is no use in sending away for monuments, when such good ones can be produced right here at home, and Niles & Vinson's work is always good. Morrow County is well managed, and is almost out of debt. The centre of the county is its most productive part. Its northern end is semi-arid, but when ir rigated will produce most bountifully. Ten of its southern townships are in the beautiful Blue mountains, where there s a great wealth of timber and the snow falls too deep in winter to suit most peo pie. That region Is now used for sum mer pastuie, but some day will be de veloped and filled with homes. Its tim ber lands may be bought from the gov ernment at $2.50 an acre. Heppner is this month shipping away to the markets of the world 200 carloads of sheep, and thousands of others will be driven east. The increase of sheep here is almost always 80 per cent, every year, and this year averages over 100 per cent. Some sheepowners are get ting 130 per cent, increase this spring. Crops in Morrow County never looked better than at present, and everything ndicates that the county will this year produce -million bushels of wheat. Candy Factory has ice-cream for the wholesale and retail trade. Fresh vegetables on hand at Bishop's all the time. On the ranch or in the mining camp dried fruits are alwavs needed. The best are at Matlock & Hart's. In the past ten years Heppner sheep have been bred np and improved to a pitch of perfection seldom surpassed in any locality. They excel for both wool and mutton, and are in active demand. Many thousands of them are bought in Heppner every spring and shipped and driven east. Steam Laundry.

Pioneer of the Heppner Hills Writes an In teresting Letter. Reedley, Cal., May 11. Ed. Gazette: The Heppner Gazette again comes to the horti cultural sanctum-sanctum of yours truly, away down here in the trop ical climes of Central California, and for a time takes me back again to former days where among the Heppner Hills the stillness was only broken by the euphonious notes of the festive coyote and uvhere (except for the said coyote) the jackrabbit and prairie chicken reigned supreme. Where later the horned cattle and their ene mies, the wooly denizens, came, only in turn to be crowded back by the barbed wire and the plow. My memory is very lear as to the time when the only house in Heppner was George Stansbury's cabin. When we had to go to Umatilla Landing for our mail, and the only church service on Sunday was a horse race with the Indians. In looking back over these times and later I see with my "mind's eye" some jolly experiences as well as some painful ones. But, so goes the world and so we must go while we remain in it. It is pleasing to note the won derful development of Morrow county and Heppner in particular. In the fall of '91, realizing that a change of location, or at least some change, would be necessary for my personal welfare (referring to health, of course, not the law) I decided to seek health and fortune in sunny southern climes, and ac cordingly packed bag and baggage and moved with my family to Tulare county, California; and commenced to develop a 40-acre fruit ranoh. Another one of the Heppner boys, T. M. Lane' (upon whose suggestion I came here) is my nearest neighbor, and we have been pegging along side by side for nearly 10 years. You ask, are we rich? Well, no, not exactly. But of course we expect to be soon. Or I may say, we are already tol erably well off if experience counts for anything. When we came here we were tolerably proficient in the art of compounding pills, and also be tween us in the sheep industry, but developing a California fruit ranch was considerably out of our line. However, as above suggest ed, what we may lack now in any other way, we have madn up in experience. I am sure you will not expect in this letter a complete exposition of all the delicate processes of leveling and irrigating the land, planting, cultivating and training the trees and vines, harvesting, curing and marketing the fruit, wine, etc. etc., necessary to the profit abb manipulation of a Cali fornia fruit ranch. Indeed, it would be too much, for it would include bugology and other scien ces too numerous to mention (with out looking them up.) But seriously, California, like Oregon, is a great state, and the San Joaquin valley is not as many suppose a desert in the heart of it. The present season has benn ex ceptionally favorable, so far, in this part, and the prospect for crops both fruit and grain is ex cellent Personally I have no rea son to regret that I came here. So far as health is concerned I have held my own wonderfully well. Of course I am not fitted for the prize ring, but am alive and toler ably well. In a financial way, while want of experience, the long time necessary to bring trees and vines into full bearing, condition of markets, etc., have made things look rather blue at times. The outlook for the future is good. Last year our 40-acre tract yielded us a net return of $50 an acre, and the outlook for the com ing season, is as good as it was this time last year, if not better. At this rata we hope to get out of debt after a while. With kindest regards to all old friends and neighbors in Eastern Oregon, and wishing them all suc cess and prosperity, 1 am, yours truly, C. M. Malloky. HEPPNER SHIPMENTS.

Last Friday occurred the death of Mrs. J. If. Hamilton, of Hamilton, and Mrs. C. B. Cochran, of Monument, two of the oldest and most respected pioneer women of Grant county, their death be ing the result of an advanced age and an attack of la grippe. They had each been residents of Ore gon since the early iiettlement of the state, and have witnessed its growth from a mere handful of people, to its present state of development. Thev were each laid to rest in the cemetery near tbeir respective1 homes being followed to their last resting place by a large concourse of friends and rela tives, who, in the future, will sadly miss the many kind act and deeds of Grand ma Hamilton and Grandma Cochran Blue Mountain Eigle.
