Republican Ticket,
For President,
WM. McKINLEY,
Of Ohio.
For Vice-PreBident,
THEODORE ROOSEVELT,
Of New York.
For Presidential Electors,
0. F. PAXTON, of Multnomah County.
TILMON FORD, of Marion County,
J. C. FULLERTON, of Douglas
County, W. J. FURNISH, of Uma
tilla County.
There is quite a contrast betweeD
the wages paid now in the Hepp
ner Ilills and those in free trade
days. Now eheepherders are paid
$35 a month on an average, and
were paid $20 a month in free
trade days. Now harvest hands
are scarce at $2.50 a day.
MAIL NEEDED.
The great interior called the
John Day country is being ne
glected in the matter of mail facil
ities. It is a vast region of rich
resources and Heppner is its nat
ural outlet and railroad shipping
point.
But its mail service to and from
Heppner is entirely inadequate
and should be improved without
further delay. The post office de
partment does not realize how the
great interior has developed, and
should wake up to the fact
At the new town of Spray a
much -needed post office has been
established, and it is now in order
to give it better connection with its
railroad point, Heppner. The de
partment should look into this
matter at once, and see that a
rapidly-growing community gets
its full share of the great benefits
from the government mail service.
PEACEFUL PICTURE.
The complete obliteration of sec
tional lines, of the spirit of exulta
tion and intolerance on the one
side, defiance and intolerance on
the other, has at last been happily
achieved; and William McKinley
may well look back with satisfac
tion upon the part be has borne in
the work of reconciliation. The
influence of his example, the power
of his position, and all the force of
his ability have constantly been
given to this end; and his gratifica
tion at the fulfillment of so noble
an inspiration found voice at At
lanta in words deserving of per
petuation "Reunited one coun
try again and one country forever I
Proclaim it from the press and
pulpit; teach it in the schools;
write it across the skies! The
world sees and feels it; it cheers
every heart North and South, and
brightens the life of every Ameri
can home! Let nothing ever strain
it again! At peace with each other,
who can stand in the pathway of
our progress and pronperity?"
UOOD CROPS.
Morrow county is now harvest
ing the biggest and best crop of
wheat in all her history.
Never before was her acreage bo
great or the quality of her grain
bettor. Uer farmers have done
good and thorough work, and soil
and climate hava done their share,
and results are most gratifying
to all.
l lie horn or. plenty is seen on
eveiy baud in Morrow county, and
it is a region to be proud of. Its
live stock interests are most pros
parous, and its people have every
provocation for feeliDg glad that
they came bore.
The home-seeker and borne
builder finds in Morrow countv
the most low-priced lands on earth,
and finds in many cases that this
year's crop alone will more than
pay for the land.
There i plenty of protit for
workers in the soil of Morrow
county, and at present there is a
scarcity of harvest hands. But
with the excellent system of bead
ing in general use, Morrow county's
crop w ill be saved in excellent
condition, and the good climate
will admit of the golden grain
standing in stack until threshing
crews become more plentiful.
Morrow county is now ranking
right up with the bout of them.
WATER WORKS WONDERS.
There are vast tracts of so-called
sand lands in Eastern Oregon and
alkali spots which only need the
invigorating effects of water to
make them produce most won
derfully. The matter of irrigating arid
ands is a most important one.
The earliest pathway of civiliza
tion on the American continent
led along the banks of streams. In
various parts of the Southwest are
well-defined remains of irrigation
works which have outlived by
many centuries the civilization to
which they belonged.
Riding up the valley of the Rio
Grande, in the first half of the six
teenth century, Spanish explorers
found in the midst of arid sur
roundings beds of beautiful roses,
"not unlike those iu the garden of
Castile," as they noted in their
diaries. They also found Pueblo
Indians irrigating the thirsty soil,
as their forefathers had- done for
centuries before them, and as their
descendants are still doing today.
To reclaim all the land possible
in the West will involve the spread
ing of water over a surface as large
as New England and New York
combined. Standing now at the
birth of things and looking down
the vista of the future, can be seen
in the course of Western rivers
the dim outline of a mighty civili
zation, blest with peace and
crowned with a remarkable degree
of prosperity, in case wise laws
and just irrigation policies shall
prevail in the years of the imme
diate future while institutions are
forming.
BANKRUPTCY LAW.
A suit entered in the United
States court in Tennessee by Han
over National Bank, of New York,
against Max Moyses of Chatta
nooga, to collect an indebtedness
of $13,000, is in reality a suit to
test the constitutionality of the
national bankruptcy law. The
declaration sets forth that the
bankruptcy law is not uniform in
its application and that uniform
laws are guaranteed by the Consti
tution of the United States. One
debtor may have a large exemp
tion according to the law of the
state where he resides, while an
other will have scarcely anything.
It also sets forth that a debtor
can choose his exemption by mov
ing his residence from one state to
another and in this manner preju
dice his creditors, although such
creditors had contracted with such
debtor under the laws of the orig
inal domicile of the latter. The
suit is brought to get a final
decision from the United States
Bupreme court.

Farmers are very busy. Weather very
hot ami dry. Grain repelling very fast.
Gardens are Dot first rate. Seasons
when grain is plentiful, as is the case
this year, vegetables are not so plenti

We all sympathize with Mrs. Willis
in her bereavement. May the Lord In
whom she trusts be her comforter and
guide.

RESOLUTIONS OF CONDOLENCE.
The following resolutions were
adopted by Rawlins Post No. 31,
G. A. R:
Whereas, it has pleased the
Great Commander of the universe
to remove from our earthly ranks
our friend and comrade, J. F.
Willis, thereby forcibly calling to
our memories the fact that we are
all on the long march, daily fac
ing our common foe death, and to
whom all must at last surrender
and be called to answer with the
forces of the dead; therefore be it
Resolved, that in the death of
our comrade the loss is not sus
tained alone by his sorrow stricken
wife and family, but our county
has lost a faithful officer, our com
munity an esteemed fellow citizen
and our Post one of its most ardu
ous workers deeply interested in
its.advancement, and one we loved
and respected.
Resolved, that in our loss we
meekly .submit to the divine will,
dropping a tear of sympathy with
those who weep, yet rejoicing in
our belief that at the last great
roll cull when the dead shall come
forth at the sound of the trumpet
that our comrade with thousands
of thousands of others who touched
elbow to elbow in the great con
flict for liberty, shall respond
"present" mid receive the plaudit
"well done, good and faithful
servant."
Resolved, that a copy of these
resolutions be sent the wife and
family of the deceased, be pub
lished in the Heppner papers, and
be spread upon the records of the
Post.
J. L. HOOKETT,
J. C. Ball,
A. G. Bartholomew,
Committee,
Headquarters Iowa Veteran Asso
ciation, in session at La Grande,
Oregon.
As we old soldiers from the
State of Iowa, having learned that
the All Wise, Supreme Command
er in Chief has sent the angel of
of death to once more call the last
roll among our members, and our
dearly beloved comrade James
Franklin Willis, late of Co. Q,
10th Iowa infantry, baviog re
sponded promptly, as he always
did during the late war of the Re
bellion in 1861 to '05, therefore,
be it
Resolved, That by his death we,
his comrades, have lost a noble,
true and upright comrade. One
who, during the dark days of the
Rebellion, did not flinch from any
duty or hardship assigned him by
his superior officer; one who had a
generous spirit and open hand for
all his comrades. When on long
marches or fields of battle where
death was broadcast at every point,
Comrade Willis was eyer ready to
defend his country and bis nag
the stars and stripes as testified
to and written by a comrade who
was with him for four long years.
And by his death we shall miss
him at our encampments and at
our post meetings, of which he was
an active worker for the cause of
the G. A. R. from year to year.
That by his death his wife has lost
a true and loving husband, his
children a kind and doteing father
and his neighborhood an honest,
upright friend, who will miss him
at the fireside, at place of business
and public places. There will for
ever be a vacant chair at his festive
board, but we have one consola
tion, that what is our sad loss is
his glorious gain and his memory
will live. He is not dead, but
sleepeth.
Sleep on, dear comrade,
From day to day,
For your comrades will,
The thirteenth of May,
Decorate thy grave
In the sad old way.

Blues. J
Many a woman dresses to go out, feels
irresolute, sits down, and falls into a fit
of despondent musing. Ask her what'
the matter, and she'll probably answer
"lust the blues." And what are tht
blues f Only another name, in general,
for a disordered liver and a diseased
stomach. Cleanse the liver, heal the
stomach, purify the blood, and there'll
be no more blue. It can be done by
the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. This medicine puts the dis
eased organs of digestion and nutrition
into a condition of sound health. It
eliminates from the blood all impure and
poisonous substances, and cleanses the
clogged liver. It contains neither al-
conoi nor narcotics.

. IN AFRICA.
Malcolm D. Clark, of the big mercan
tile house of Minor & Co., has a brother,
Chas. Clark, whose love of adventure
caused bim to join tbe Canadian Con
tingent, and he is now in South Africa,
having fought all through the war as a
member of the British army.
In one of his interesting letters, Mr.
Clark gives his ideas of the Boers and
their country as follows :
I have bad a glimpse of tbe character
of the average Boer and bis mode of
living. He buys a farm from tbe gov
ernment, consisting of rive, six or seven
thousand acres. A bouse is erected.
They have no rooms, but sleep and eat
in the same apartments. They then
get natives to do their work for which
they give them the use of a few acres of
land for the year. They are very cruel
and oftentimes, after the natives per
form their work, they are cruelly treated
and gent away without a cent of pay or
the crop of the few acres apportioned
tbem. They have no idea in the world
of cleanliness. They rarely wash them
selves and as regards batbs they know
not what it means. The sanitary con
dition of their homes is deplorable and
an ordinary Christian could not stay in
their homes for even a brief space of
time without sickening. In a manner
they are very religious, inasmuch as
they attend church regularly and pray
very frequently. But after they have
prayed and confessed their sins, look
out for them. They will steal, rob or
plunder if the opportunity presents
itself. Their system of farming is very
poor. They sow mealie in one part of
their farm and, after cropping it.4ev
never plow it or look after it at aaT It
grows wild with weeds, and next year
they plow up some more land adjacent
to their last -year's crop, and so on to
the end of the chapter, until tbe entire
farm is over run with weeds. They
never fence or improve their property
and their places look poverty-stricken.
Each farmer has his own private ceme
tery on his farm and the burials are
made quite carlessly, in fact not unlike
the burial of the brnte animal, In the
Free State the spring bok, a sort of
native deer, is quite numerous but tbe
Boers are so lazy that they will not ex
ert themselves to shoot a deer even to
have venison for dinner. Of course,
there are a few who rise above the aver
age and are decent and respectable, but
take tbe average Boer and he is an in
dolent, shiftless and unscrupulous be
ing, no good to God or man.
Sad and pathetic are the sights pre
sented to ODe's view here in Cape Town.
Down at the hospital in every ward
poor, wounded soldiers are resting,
some recovering rapidly and eager for
the fray, others suffering untold agony,
many with amputated legs and arms,
caused by savage shells. Many tals of
Dutch duplicity are told. One Tommy
informed me that a Boer farmer near
Sling-rsfontein Camp pressed him and
a number of his comrades to drink what
was afterwards discovered to bo pois
oned water. The miserable wretch was
shot for his kindness.
Cape Town is seething with the un
employed. In the hotel and streets tbe
dissatisfied refugees from Johannesburg
and other places lounged or hurried
about. They all spoke with intense
hatred of the originators of the war.
They left comfortable homes and lucra
tive positions behind them and are now
compelled to either work hard or starve.
Enlist and fight for their rights they
would not but left that for the poor
Tommys. And when peace is at last
declared these same important gentle
men will come forward and present an
inventory of property looted and de
stroyed by the Boers, and depend upon
it the sum will cover all losses.

The Chinese stockman, Thos.
Haw, is said by the Wool Markets
and Sheep to deserve the cbroiao
for shearing the heaviest fleece of
wool produced in lieaverhead
county, Montana. One yearling
gave a clip of 29 pounds. The
wool was clean and free from dirt.
His band of sheep is said to be as
well bred and well taken care of
as any in the state.

If a farmer wants what are
termed "general-purpose'' or "dual
purpose" cattle he should get
milking strains of Shorthorns, or
Red Polls. It is not a good plan to
cross Jerseys with the beef breeds.
Tbe chances are that the off-spring
will not be satisfactory either from
the milking or beef standpoint.
