BETTER TIMES.
A brighter day has dawned for
the producers of America, and the
restless, panicky class who in 1896
were prone to believe in free silver
as a panacea for their ills, are now
contented and happy and confirmed
in the belief that protection and
prosperity go hand in hand and
that sound money and confidence
are the foundation of all industrial
progress.
The general rise in prioes of pro
ducts has transformed industry
from depression to thrift. Experts
have estimated that the produots
of the U. S. last year were worth a
billion and a half of dollars more
than any year during the Cleveland-Wilson
depression from 1892
to 1896. This is an increase
of 31 per oent Live stock in gen
eral has gained in value 38 per
cent. The products of live stock,
including meats, dairy products,
etc., have increased 40 per cent
over the lowest point during the
period mentioned. Horses have
increased one-third, cattle about
40 per cent, and sheep have about
doubled in value.
ROOSEVELT'S REMARKS.
une or. tno moBt active cam
paignu of the century is being made
by Gov. Iloosevelt through the
Dakotaa. At Bismark he said
among other things:
"iou reconect lour years ago
the appeal that was made through
this country to one class against
another and the effort to array the
West against the East, the work
ing man against the capitalist and
the farmer against the business
man. You remember in 1892 when
you were also told that some men
had made too much money and
wanted you to vote the capitalists
down. I am sorry to say that the
country did vote, and you got him
down, but afterward we found that
the rest of us were down under
him. We all went down that was
the trouble.
" We have the right to appeal to
you on two grounds. In the first
place, upon the ground that our
deeds have Bquared with our prom
ises. Mind you, that is what a
promise is worth. Second, we have
tho right to appeal to you upon
the ground that our opponents
have made prophesies that came
false four years ago. You can't
recolleot them all. Mr. Bryan
prophesied again and again at
Minneapolis and at New York,
where he addressed that noble
band of reformers Tammany Hall;
and at Indianapolis again and
again he said: 'If you vote the
Republican ticket tiineB will be
harder and harder.' Again, 'If
you vote for the gold standard,
you vote for four years more of
hard times.' And again, 'If you
vote for the gold standard the
farmer will find that the prices of
his products will grow steadily
lower.' Again, 'If you vote the
Republican ticket the business men
will find that the number of fail.
ures will increase and the amount
of bank dopomta will decrease.'
"Now I ask you not to take my
word for it, but to think of your
own experience and compare how
things actually were; how the con
ditions were iu your own state ami
in jour own town with what Mr.
Bryan prophesied, and at the same
time look over his speech and see
what ho said four years ago and
see if things have come out as he
prophesied they would; so I ask
you to support us because we have
kept our word. What we want to
day is to continue at Washington
the woo and the measures that
T. ' ' ' "' .. ft. 1V
have obtained and been put in
practice there during the past four
years.
"If Mr. Bryan lives, and I hope
he will, for 35 years for I wish
him well in his private life I
have not the least doubt that he
will be quoting McKioley at that
time with the same approval that
he now quotes Lincoln."
IDLE SOLDIERS.
In his speech at Helena, Montana,
Gov. Roosevelt said :
"In a recent speech at Chicago Mr.
Bryan said :
" 'If 100,000 soldiers are permitted to
walk about in idleness where one sol
dier would do, what are we coming to?'
"The absurdity of speaking of an
army of 100,000 men as a threat to the
country when one-third of them are vol
unteers and the rest regulars, provided
for for only two years by Congress, is so
palpable that the mere statement of the
case is sufficient for the refutation. Mr.
Bryan ought to know by this time that
inasmuch as Thomas Jefferson banded
over to bis successor an army which be
had increased until it represented 1.4 of
a soldier for every 1000 population, and
as no damage to onr institutions fol
lowed, there is scant room for appre
hension on the part of even the most
timid soul from the existence of an
army of .86 of a man for every 1000 of
population. Under President McKinley,
while there is war in the Philippines,
our regular army has shrunk to but
little more than half the relative size
which it had attained at the end of
President Jefferson's administration
during a period of profound peace.
"100,000 soldiers in idleness! Think
of these words being spoken by a candi
date for the highest office in the gift of
the American people of the men who
have passed a year of such grinding toil
and desperate danger in the Philippines
that we here can form no conception of
all that they have dared and risked and
endured. They have been worn down
month in and month out, marching
from dawn until darkness through the
mud of the tropical swamps, sleeping
when and how they could, eating what
they could gather, or going without;
facing death by bullets at every step
from a foe ten times as numerous as
themselves, and if wounded and left
behind, facing what wasinfinitely worse
than death the most dreadful torture.
With what patient, uncomplaining, un
flinching, never-wearying courage they
have done all this and have made not
only America but all mankind their
debtors. And their reward is that the
chosen representative of one of the two
great parties sneers at them as walking
about in idleness.
"Idleness! Was Leonard Wood idle
when for the first time io 300 years he
cleaned a Spanish city? Was lie idle
when he fed and clothed and schooled
the child of the reconcentrado? Was he
idle when he lifted into active labor the
man sunk into shlftleRs apathy by cen
turies centuries of Spanish tyranny?
Was he idle when he started this man
with long strides on the path of self'
government? Were Generals MacAr
thur, Wheaton and Young idle when
they drove plunderer and murderer be
fore them, that under the shadow of
our Aug the scarred wildroeB8 migh
again becomo a fruitful land? Was
Chaffee idle when, eagerly obeying the
President's command, he led the march
toward the Forbidden City ? Was the
boy Titus idle when, springing lightly
from the ranks, he planted on the walls
of an immemorial despotism the flag
which stood for rescue and fur freedom?
Idleness! Such idleness is of the kin
that plain men call heroism, and thrice
happy is the country which can com
mand it."
RICH RETURNS.
D. B. Stalter returned yesterday to
his Heppner home from a stay of
several weeks in the Greenhorn range,
southeast of Heppner, where he baa
been hard at work developing his May
flower mine.
The mine is 1(1 miles from Susan ville,
ana i'an Drought back trom it some
rich rock in which gold can be plainly
seen. -Asay returns bIiow that i
yields 1403.70 to the ton. 1500 pound
of Mayflower rock has been shipped
to the Tacoma smelter for thorough re
duction.
The work that Mr. Stalter has been
pushing on the Mayflower mine has re
suited in a tunnel now in 30 feet, and
the ledge is 8 inches wide. It is the
richest mine in the Greenhorn range,
for its. rock is free-milling, while neigh
bor ledgeB are all base.
The Chloride mine, i mile from the
Mayflower, recently sold for $8000, and
its rock yields only $43 to the ton.
Around the Mayflower wood, water
and grass are handy, and first snows
came there this week when it rained on
the lower levels. They will go again,
as it is yet too early for them to lis on

PIONEER8' REUNION.
The pioneers of Morrow county,
people who came here prior to 1880 and
the old people of Morrow county, (over
55) who came at any time, will be made
welcome to the good thinirs of life in
Heppner on Saturday, Oct. 6.
They will be tendered a grand dinner
in the opera house, and there will be
good, old-time singing and music by the
Heppner Silver Cornet Bind, and other
special features that will be set forth
later on.
The general committee on the reunion
has appointed the following sub-committees:
On ball S. P. Garrignes and J. J.
Roberts.
On music W, L Saling. Rev. C. D.
Nickelsen and Mrs. J. D. Brown.
On dinner and refreshment S. P.
Garrigues, M. D. Clark, Mrs. A. G. Bai
tholomew, Mrs. Sam Meadows and Mrs.
J. J. Roberts.
On program E. M. Shutt, J. B. Beal
and J. W. Redington.
On finance Goo. Conser, R. F. Hynd

On night entertainment M. B. Metz
ler, Mrs. H. W. Bartholomew and Miss
Lizzie Matlock.
On lodging Judge Baitholomew, Geo
Conser, Geo. Swaggart, Art Minor,
Frank Gilliam and Tom Ayers.
The general committee has decided to
also give an interesting evening enter
tainment for the old folks aDd to furnish
free lodging and horse-feed for the
teams of all who find it more convenient
to stay until Sunday morning before
returning home.
The mayor will ask all business
houses to close from 1 to 4 o'clock on
Oct. 6, to enable all business men to
turn out and help entertain the gueBta.
in the afternoon.
The exercises will be free to all, but
reserved seats will be first given the
old folks.
HEADING HOMEWARD.
The thousands of Heppner Hills
sheep who have been roaming through
the Blue mountains all summer are now
beading homeward, and before long
will be located on their buncbgrass
ranges.
Some bands have gone 175 miles from
home, and will consume several weeks
on the backward trip, and will aim to
barely get out of the mountains before
snow flics. Heppner sheep are hardy,
and do not mind wading through a
little snow on their way home.
It is expected that all Heppner sheep
will come out of the Blue mountains in
good condition, for while there were
very many sheep in the mountains thin
summer there was also much feed, and
where sheep were properly handled all
of them should have done well.
