The Hood River region is a
great frait country, and an inter
esting pen picture of it has been
published by 8. F. Blythe, editor
Hood River Glacier, and E. R.
Bradley. The matter is written
from a conscientious standpoint
and is attractively set off with half
tones from photographs of local
institutions. It is a good adver
tisement for that section.
GENERAL GAYETY.
Portland is at the top notch of
its carnival season, and repreeen.
tatives of the whole Tacifio North
west are there, making the affair a
grand success. A warm welcome
is extended to all visitors, and the
impression is strengthened that
Portland is the commercial metrop
olis of the Pacific Northwest, as
is Heppner of the great interior
from the Columbia river to the
John Day and beyond.
Portland is a grand, good city,
and she has every reason to be
proud of herself and the northwest
to be proud of her and her in.
stitutions.
MEN WHO CHANGE.
Col. O. C. Sabin, who organized
the Silver Knights of America in
1890, and edited their organ, Iihs
deserted Eryanism and come out
for McKinley and Roosevelt. He
said of the present campaign: "As
to this cry of imperialism, that is
all balderdash. Anybody who
knows history knows that the re
publican party has ever been in
favor of those politics which have
a tendency to upbuild the country,
The only question upon which I
have ever differed with the repub
licans was the question of money,
and I am satisfied that the results
proved that the leaders of that
party are right, and we who went
for silver are wrong. It is a source
of gratification and joy to me that
thousands of old Bilver men are
now coming out in favor of the
republican party, and the stand.
ard of money which that party has
established."
MARK HANNA.
Speaking of the renewed abuse
of Senator Hanna, J. T. Atterholt,
of Conn., Baid: "They tried that
four years ago without success, and
it seems almost incredible that
they should repeat the mistake.
If it wouldn't win then, it hasn't
a ghost of a show now. In 189G
Ilanna was a new proposition to
the vast majority of voters, and
some of the stories they told about
him were really terrifying. But
during the past four years, the
country has had a pretty good
ohanoe to become acquainted with
the chairman of the Republican
National Committee, and the peo
ple find much in him to admire.
Hanna is not a statesman. Even
his warmest admirers do not credit
him with being that, but those
who know him well know him to
be a brave and honest man, with
marvelous executive ability. His
honesty sometimes gets him into
trouble. lie thinks a thing, and
Bays it, without stopping to figure
out what the effect will bo. If a
certain thing is so, Hanna cannot
see the reason why all the world
should not know it. In this he is
far moro honent than many men
who pobo as paragons ' of political
virtue. He is entirely without
frills or ornaments, but is possessed
of mauy homely virtues."
The Heppner railroad yard it full of
labwood shipped in from the Cascade
mountains. Some day when an electric
railroad shall run from Heppner to the
adjacent Hlue mountains, these home
forests will furnish fuel for the whole
Heppner region.
GOOD ROADS.
Any movement which will result in
the betterment of the public roads is a
good thing for all, and of bene6t to
every community.
The hilly portions of Eastern Oregon
make road-building and road-repairing
a rather difficult proposition, and to
keep a road good, people must keep
everlastingly at it. . But it is something
that deserves to be thus kept at, for it
means either comparative comfort or
horrible hardship to thousands of trav
elers. Road supervisors occupy very impor
tant positions, and every one of them
should do his duty or resign.
People recently returning from Moun
tain trips generally testify to the uni
form roughness of the mountain roads.
Rocks will roll in, and sidling places
will wash out.
But there is one district which de
serves special credit for its roads. That
is Camas prairie, in Umatilla county.
On his trip to and from Teal Springs
Al. Blnns says that the roads of Camas
were the best be traveled over, and that
the people of Ukiab had worked their
part of tbem into good condition and
kept them so.
WOOL.
Heppner is the largest shipping point
in the United States for wool raised
right in its own neighborhood. And
Heppner pays the biggest prices for
wool as the market goes.
The presses at both Heppner ware
houses have been pretty busy, and have
recently squeezed up 5 carloads for
Geo. Fell to ship to Hartford and 5 for
Frank Lee for Boston.
Robert Ilynd says that the two Hepp
ner warehouses bave bandied 3 million
pounds of wool this season, and a half
million pounds are still on the ranches
and sure to come to Heppner.
The market here is at a standstill,
and all buyers have left except Georse
Fell, who has received a telegram from
bis principal at Hartford as follows:
"Market weaker; prospect of marked
decline ; we anticipate lower prices ; buy
no more at present."
That is not the way Frank Johnson
talked when he was here, but growers
can figure it out for themselves.
In Boston quotations of leading de
scriptions of wool are;
Territory ; scoured basis Montana
and Wyoming, fine medium and fine, 17
C18c; scoured, 50c; staple 5253c.
Utah, fine medium and fine, 1617c;

SHEEP.
The little animals who yield wool are
in good demand. Geo. Gray, the buyer,
has ordure from the east at $3 for good
vouug sheep, but oan't get the kind
wanted in entire bands.
The local demand is good, and lambs
are strong at $2 and a shade better.
J. J. Adkins sold 700 wether lambs
and Harry Jones 000 at $2 to I. C
Large.
Joe Haves started away in his buggy
yesterday on a three-weeks' tour of
Grant and adjoining counties, where be
will buy from 10 to 15,000 lambs to be
sold again to home people here in the
Heppner Hills. Ike Large will accom
pany him.
WHEAT.
The warehouses of Morrow county
are fast filling up with the half-million
bushels of wheat produced here this
year. Big loads are rolling into the
warehouses of Heppner, and those at
points along the Heppner Railroad,
where are seen scenes of great activity
Some farmers will be hauling all win
ter.
One of the largest producers is Coun
ty Commissioner Ed Ashbaugh, who
has 12,000 bushels of wheat and 4000 of
barley. Thos. Davidson and J. II.
Jones & Son have each about the same
amount.
The price remains low, about 12 cents
under Portland quotations.

ON THE RANGE.
W. N. Brown, a cattle-raiser of Gil-1
liam county, is in Portland, says the
Oregonian, registered from Condon,
which town, he savs, is now prospering
as a result of favorable wheat crops and
good prices for cattle. The wheat of
Gilliam county is turning out in better
condition than ever before known, as
the kernels are very plump, the result
of mild weather while the heads were
filling. He estimates the yield for the
entire county at 20 bushels to the acre,
and he says if the farmers can only get
75 cents a bushel for it they will be
strictly in the swim.
Cattle of all kinds he finds are still in
brisk demand, Eastern buyers being
constantly in search of yearlings, for
which they are willing to pay as high as
$23 a head ; stock cows aad calves are
stiff at $40 to $45, while milch cows and
their calves go as high as $50, Where
cattlemen have plenty of range, they
are averse to selling off their young
heifers, but range is becoming more re
stricted all the time, hence voung stock
cannot be kept until it matures, and so
is sold off as "feeders" to Eastern
drovers. Cattle men endeavor to pas
ture their stock on outside range dur
ing the spring, summer and fall, so as
to save the grass in their enclosures for
winter, but the steady encroaching of
the sheepherder and the settler make it
more difficult to find outside range for
cattle, and soon the cattle man will
have to own all the pasture he needs.
Cattle have done fairly well on the out
side range this summer, however, as
the sheep were all away in the mount
ains, and grass grew well on the prairies
In the meantime. '
Mr. Brown looks for the range horses
of Oregon to disappear entirely within a
few years, if the present demand for
light horses keeps up from the East.
Horse owners are disposed to sell down
as close as they can, and what scrub
cayuses are left are liable to find their
way to the Linnton cannery. The dis
appearance of the horse from the bunch
grass ranges will make it that much
easier for cattle to find grass where
hitherto roving bands of horses kept
the pastures impoverished.

CAUSE OF FALLING HAIR.
Dandruff, Which la a Germ Disease-Kill
the Germ.
Falling hair is caused by dandrnff,
which is a erm disease. The germ in
burrowing in to the root of the hair,
where it destroys the vitality of the
hair, causing the hair to fall out, digs
up the cuticle in little scales, called
dandruff or scurf. You can't stop the
falling hair without curing the dandruff,
and you can't cure the dandruff with
out killing the dandrutf germ. "Destroy
the cause, vou remove the effect."
Newbro's Herpicide is the only hair
preparation that kills the dandruff
germ. Herpicide is also a delightful
hair dressing.

WEALTHY WALLOWA.
President C. A, Rhea, of the First
National Bank, speaking yesterday of a
recent visit he has made to the Wallowa
valley, said that it had made wonderful
progress since bis last visit, 7 years ago.
New and comfortable homes are seen
on every hand, and the valley is a solid
block of farms for 40 miles, with plenty
of water for irrigation. Heavy crops of
hay and grain are raised, and hogs of
the best breeds are produced and turned
off by the thousands.
The railroad ends at Elgin, 50 miles
away, and the connecting stage line is
first-class institution with 4-horse
Concord coaches. The two counties
joined together and built one of the best
graded roads in the west, and stage
passengers are whirled through at a
swift pace.
Wallowa sheepmen have a business
for all time, Mr. Rhea thinks. They
range back from the farms, on land that
is too steep for any other purpose and
can never be used for anything else.
They are in close touch with an abund
ance of hay to carry them through any
kind of a bard winter, and almost all of
them sold their this season's wool last
winter at 15 to 17 cents, and at that time
received two-thirds of their pay in spot
cash.
Mr. Rhea considers that the Wallowa
country has made more substantial pro
gress during the past 7 years than any
other part of the northwest.
