The Heppner Gazette Thuesday, Sept 27, 1900 Republican Ticket. For President, WM. McKINLEY, Of Ohio. For Vice-Frenident, THEODORE ROOSEVELT, Of New York. For Presidential Electors, 0. F. PAXTON, of Multnynah County, TILMON FORD, of Marion County, J. C. FULLERTON, of Douglas County, W. J. FURNISH, of Uma tilla County. Ex-Judge Stephen A. Lowell has volunteered to speak for the Republican ticket daring the cam paign, and the people of this dis trict, whose judicial business he so ably managed, will be delighted to listen to him. PREDICTIONS PROVEN. At this time, when men are making up their minds as to which presidential candidate they will vote for, it is well to recall the re publican argnments which were made four years ago, when the money issue was the only one which really cut much figure in the campaign. It will be remembered that the prinoipal Bryanite arguments then were that the industrial depres sion was caused by the lack of sufficient money with which to do the business of the country; that until there was more money there could be no industrial revival; that the lack of mooey was due to the discontinuance of the free coinage of silver; and that' when free coin, age was resumed, insuring an abundant supply of money, busi ness would resume its normal con dition. , The republican arguments all through the campaign were that it was want of confidence, not want of money, which was keeping in ventors out of the market; that there was au abundance of money, but that it was in hiding, kept there by fears of a tampering with the currency; that the threat of Bryanism was the greatest factor in maintaining the condition of in dustrial prostration; that the elec tion of McKiuley would be the signal for the revival of confidence; that money would come out of biding, conditions would improve immediately; and that as soon as proper Protective Tariff could be framed and passed, the country would enter upon an era of pros perity. These Republican predictions have proven true; and it was be cause of a republican success that they did become true. ACTUAL RESULTS. The business of the country four yeara ago was in absolute chaos; money had gone into biding; old established industries were shut down for an indefinite period, and there was an absolute stoppage of all the work in the development of the resources of this country, Leaving prejudice entirely to one side, every candid man must admit that the election of McKiuley was the signal for an immediate change from these conditions, and an in. dustrial and business revival which has brought this country to the highest point of prosperity which it has ever known. Every man saw that the election of McKinley meant the immediate restoration of confidence; that money promptly came out of hid ing and immediately sought invest ment; and that the improved con ditions followed immediately upon the restoration of confidence. Judging by actual results it is fair to nsHunio that the possible election of Mr. Bryan this fall would result in a lvntoratiou of the conditions which existed prior to the election of Mckinley. That there would bo au immediate Ions of confidence by investors, who would at once seek to withdraw their money, precipitating a panic; that money would again go into hiding; and that the great gains which the country has made in the past four years would be as rapidly lost For these reasons many consci entious democrats will not vote for Mr. Bryan, but wilt vote the re publican ticket and do all in their power to aid in securing its success. POLITIX. In order to maintain a semblance of consistency Mr. Bryan is now compelled to admit that he was insincere when he advised the rati fication of the Paris treaty. The Hon. J. Helloquent Lewis, of Seattle and Virginia, is prepar ing a Bryan campaign oiation, and all the peaks of the Rockies are preparing earmuffs for themselves, and all the unpronounceable pieces of water in the State of Washing ton are preparing to boil. Four years ago the democratic standardbearer said the gold dem ocrats should get out of the party. This year he says they should come back. Is Mr. Bryan to de stroy all of his 1896 declarations? Before Mr. Bryan gets through squaring his past relations to the Paris treaty with his present posi tion relative to the Philippine question, he will wish he had clung to silver as a paramount issue. Mr. Bryan should cede the sov ereignty of his farm at Lincoln, Neb., to Spain or France. The land was acquired by the United States without the "consent of the governed'' by another democrat, Thomas Jefferson. How Mr. Bryan can consent to live in Nebraska, when this circumstance is consid ered, is unexplainable. Indiana continues to contribute prominent democrats to the repub lican cause. Those timid people who imagine the constitution is violated and the republic destroyed because there are Amerioan soldiers in China without a declaration of war by Congress, may be : comforted by knowing that the war with Mexico was fourteen months old before there was a formal declaration thereof. One of the leading campaign orators this trip will be Col, Ward li. oherman, who is a good speaker and a veteran of the civil war. NO FREE TRADE FOR HER. Mrs. Emma Kilcup was visiting in town this week, and received a warm welcome from her old neighbors. She will in a few weeks move in from her ranch and again live In her home near the echoolhouse. Mrr. Kilcup is enthusiastically in favor of McKinley and a protective tariff, and has evry reason to be so. Since the death of her husband she has succesRftilly carried on the sheep busi ness, but found it a very difficult feat during the days of democratic free trade, when sheep went down to noth- ng and she had to reduce the wages of workmen to $25 a month. Mrs. Kilcup says that the experience reminded her of free trade days in Eng land, when poor sewing girls had to work for 12 cents a day, and had to be given many a meal out of charity. Any voter in the Heppner Hills who is thinking of voting for democratic free trade should discuss the matter 'with Mrs Kilcup ami hear of valuable and practical object leBsons. A BETTER ROAD. C. L. Cason and R. G. Robinson, of Lone Rock, were before the county court here this week in the interest of the voters of that precinct with regard to the washed out road from Lone Rock to Heppner. The court instructed them to survey and lav out a road to meet the one being built by Morrow county, and they would send a man to see the work done. Mr. Robinson informs us that the road now being laid out by Morrow is vastly superior to the old one, and when Gilliam gets her share completed this will be a first-class road. Condon Times. HORSES. J. H. Bowen, of Fossil, was in town Tuesday, with a dozen head of horses, says the Condon Times. He was on his way to deliver them to a horsebuyer in Portland. Mr. Bowen informs us that the last consignment of horses intended for the Chinese war was ordered, at the last moment, to be sent to Manila, and he declares that the demand for cavalry animals is dead for the present. ENTERTAINMENT. Rawlins Relief Corps No. 23 invites the public to join them in an entertain ment, with program and refreshments, to be given in their hall that of the I. 0. 0. F., on Saturday, Oct. I'O, at 7 o'clock p. in. Proceeds to be applied to the purchase of a banner and other Woman's Relief Corps work. Admission, including refreshments, 15 cents. Old soldiers and "lioya of '98" are cordially invited to come and be entertained free. A grand time is prom i sea to all. AT ARLINGTON. Considerable excitement was caused in this community a few days ago by the report of a case of smallpox in town, says the Arlington Record. In view of the fact that the report would bs grossly exaggerated, Health Officer Ruedy reported us follows : I hereby certify that one case of vario' lold has developed in our midst, the tame having been contracted some' where about Boise City, Idaho. Two days before the eruptions appeared strict quarantine measures were adopted and rigidly enforced and the patient re moved to the pent house outside the city limits. By prompt action much trouble and endless annoyance have been avoided. The patient is doing well at the present writing, and . no danger of any spread of the disease is anticipated. Rev. Mr. Putwine, of Pendleton, con ducted services in the new Episcopal church here Tuesday evening, and had tull house. HEPPNER FAT STOCK. The Heppner ranges turn off some of the best beef on earth, and beef that can't be beat. Bock & Mathews shipped Saturday to tbe Union Meat Co. two carloads of Heppner beef cattle. One carload was mixed stock, the other was a bunch of fine 2-year-old steers raised by 01 Justice, many of whom weighed 1500 pounds. They make a good showing of what Heppner Hills buncbgrass will do for live stock. At present cattle of every description are in good demand. Men who raise them here get at the ranch 3)4 cents a pound for steers and 3 cents for dry cows. Cows with calves bring 30 to $40, and yearling steers sell at from $20 to $25. Mutton sheep are now worth at tbe ranch $2.50 to $3 a head; 2-year-old wethers bring 3 cents, and will average 100 pounds each. Bock & Mathews have just sold to OI. Justice 50 bead of yearling steers gathered around Hardman and in the Rock creek region. Morrow county does not raise many hogs, but those that are brought into Heppner bring 5 cents a pound on foot. AT THE MILL. Many thousands of bushels of wheat have been bought by the Heppner Flouring Mill Co., and although the big warehouse contains more than ever be fore, the quantity will be more than doubled. It makes a big pile, and is packed in solid, loose wheat from opened sacks being used to fill in the vacancies be tween sacks. The pile will be extended clear up to the rafters. Manager Houston expected to find weevil in Morrow county wheat, but finds none. It is dry and solid, and weighs in at 145 pounds to the sack. Some sacks go 150, and none go under 130, while Willamette valley wheat goes only 120. None but the best wheat is accepted at tbe Heppner mill, and tbe new miller, C. J. Ehrraan, is sure to add to the good reputation of Heppner flour. BUNKERS BURNED. Astoria, Sept. 22. Tbe bunkers of the Pacific Coast Company were totally de stroyed by fire at an early hour this morning. The loss is between $55,000 and $00,000, fully covered by insurance. Tbe fire was discovered shortly after midnight, but it had secured a good start and before tbe arrival of the fire department the great structure was a mass of roaring flames. Between 1200 and 1500 tons of coal was stored in the bunkers, and the fire burned fiercely for seven hours. GOOD PLACE TO COME TO. Wiley McBee is up frpm Lake county, California, to again lease out his 480 acre farm in the Eight Mile country. Wiley considers Morrow county one of the best coming farming regions in Ibe Uf S., and that land here is the lowest priced and can be farmed easier and at less expense than elsewhere. On 140 acres of bis place in '91 he raised 4800 bushels of grain, and sold it for $3500. Such good results came from thorough farming, and would never result from "scratching." As Mr. McBee well says, 100 acres well farmed gives better results than 200 acres that have been merely scratched. Morrow county beats tbe world for low-priced lands whose single crop will more than pay the full value of tbe farm on which it was raised. Home-seekers should investigate Mor row county. SHEEP. All over the Heppner country and ad jacent territory, sheep are firmly held in good demand. Among recent sales are: In Heppner Tuesday Wm. Swick, of Hamilton, sold to James Mc Haley 2900 mixed lambs at $2.12s. They were a choice lot. Heppner sheep are now heading homeward, as the first storms in the mountains tell the herders that tbe time is arriving to point toward the lower levels of the open bunchgrass. The gentlemen sheep will be allowed to mix up with them along about late October to Nov, 10, according to locality of lambing grounds. Many herders have had their hands full this season managing twin lambs. HERDERS DROWNED. A cloudburst in the Neuces River country, Texas, Sunday, resulted in s terrific flood and much loss of life, From 30 to 40 Italians employed on the sheep ranches were drowned, and all the ranches swamped. Many flocks of sheep have been lost and a large amount of property destroyed. The river roe 25 feet in two hours and broke the bridges. An English sheepman, Ethelbert MacDonald, to gether with some Mexican sheepherd era, lost their lives on a ranch In the mountains. Harry Jones is moving into the Mrs. Elder cottage near the echoolhouse. Still Mora Counterfeiting. Tbe eeoret service has unearthed an other baud of counterfeiters and eoared large quantity of bogus bills, which are so cleverly exeooled tbal the average person would never suspect them of be Ing spurious. Things of great value are always selected by oonnterfeiter for imitation, notably the celebrated Hos teller's Ptomaoh Bitters, which bus many imilslore bat no equals (or iDdlgrstioo, dyspepsia, constipation, nervousness and general debility. The Bitters sate things right in the stomaob, and when tbe stomach is in good order it mikes good blnnd and plenty of it. In this manner tbe Bitters get at tbe seat of strength and vitality, and reatont vigor to the weak and debilitated. Beware of coun terfeits when buying.

What wonders work will accomplish is shown in the results of Judge A. G. Bartholomew's gardening this season. He is industrious and energetic, and plants trees and shrubbery, and keeps np an attractive home. His spare mo ments were devoted to raising vege tables, of which be this year raised and sold to Matlock & Hart $195.50 worth, wholesale figures. His patch only com prises three-eights of an acre, on which he raised besides what he sold, plenty for his own family, and reserved potatoes enough for tbe entire year. These facts tell an eloquent story for the Heppner Hills and Morrow county, and show what work will do. 1100 heward, 1100 The readers of Ibis paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science bas been able to cure in all its stages, and that Is Catarrh.
