For President,

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.

WORK WINS.
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.
