...... , .LONG TRIP.
Owen Wister, the talented writer of
western stories, started Tuesday from
Heppner for his home in Philadelphia.
He goes by way of Canyon City, Harney
valley and the Malheur, striking the
railroad at Ontario. The trip through
the great Blue mountain region will be
made by private conveyance and stage.
Mr. Wister was fortunate in securing
a seat io H. A. Thompson's new back
to Canyon City, and having the good
company of Henry Thompson and the
genial E. J. Slocum, of the Slocum
Drug Co., both pioneers of Eastern Ore
gon, who can tell Mr. Wister all about
the country.
Mr. Thompson goes to inspect his
stape line, and the party will travel only
by daylight.
The Owen Wister portraits printed by
eastern magazines make him as dark as
a stack of black cats, and are not to be
compared wiih this one :
And this picture of Henry Thompson
isn't bad, is it?
TALES OF YESTERDAY.
A few of the old-time Scottish
shepherds have drifted into the
Heppner Lulls, and one of them,
Old Harry, is fond of telling
quaint stories of the long ago like
the following:
"In the church of my native
village the pews were eight feet
square, roomy enough to keep
house in, though not provided
with fireplaoes as is sometimes
the case in old parish churches in
England. There were seats on the
four sides of the pews, with chairs
in the cooler for the grandfather
and grandmother, or tbe elderly
tiunt. All the family went to meet
ing, including the dog.
"One Sunday there was a dis
turbance. "The town had voted that hogs
should run at large, 'yoked and
ringed according to law.' On this
Sunday two strayed into the pre
cincts of the meeting-houue and
began to root around one of the
door stones, accompanying their
rooting with grunts of unctious
satisfaction. The dogs heard them
and could not be restrained. They
leaped the high pews with their
carved railings, and in a body
rushed out and drove the intruders
away, afterward returning and
decorously retaking their places.
How delightful, how refreshing
was such an episode to the boys
and girls! Weary times they had
sitting out the long service not
only with the eye of the tithing
man upon them, but those of three,
other grave and reverend seniors,
chosen expressly to keep them in
order, and to 'have inspection over
the young on. Sabbath dayti to pre
vent their profanation thereof.' "
SPECIAL BARGAIN.
For $1100 I oiler a good home ranch

WHEAT, WOOL AND STOCK.
Portland, Sept. 25.
Wheat fell oft" again yesterday, drop
ping 1 '4 cents in Chicago, and one cent
in Portland. This fall in price is attrib
uted largely to the firmness of charters.
The daily receipts of grain in Portland
are 'J5 per rent greater than those of the
same date last year, and the Willamette
valley is contributing practically noth
ing, the local demand absorbing all the
marketable wheat there. The tendency
of the growers to pool their grain and
sell In large lots on private terms is a
feature of the market and such sales are
usually at ngnres perceptibly better
than the open quotations.

HOMES ARE HERE.
The Heppner Gazet receives maty
letters from men in the middle west,
asking it to answer by return mail a
great many questions about the Hepp
ner country.
To personally answer so many letters
and so many questions takes too much
time.
When such people are thinking of
coming here, the (jazet treely mails
them sample copies and copies of its
circular describing the main points of
interest.
There is no reason why Morrow coun
ty cannot support twice its present pop
ulation, and for those wbo are willing to
work, homes are here. The man with
cash to invent would probably reap as
rich returns from it here as elsewhere,
for land values here are the lowest on
earth considering the production and
profits.
Morrow countv is in excellent Brian
cial condition, taxes are very reason
able, and home-hunters who come here
and are willing to take chances with the
reBt of us will find a fair share of pros
perity awaiting them.
WHEAT.
Chs.les Johnson, the wheatbuyer,
says that half the wheat tributary to
Lexington has been sold, and 10 per
cent, of lone, same at Douglas; 150,000
bushels has already been sold this season
along the Heppner railroad, and Mr. J.
thinks that 50U.U0U bushels will go out
on the Heppner road this year; others
say much more than that; Wes. McNab
thinx 1,000,000.
Before one bushel bad been sold at
lone, 30,000 Mr. Johnson says went at
Lexington, and a recent sale there was
of 7000 buBhels at 46 to 48)c. At Doug
las there is a general feeling of holding
for 4 bits. i
There is a great scarcity of cars, and
at lone 25,000 bushels is awaiting ship
ment, with a steady stream pouring in.
Many Morrow county farms wii this
year receive more for their crop than
the cash value at which they bold tbe
whole farm.
Robert Dexter on Saturday sold to
Chan Johnson 711 bushels at 44c.
SFRING PINCHING MACHINE.
A. M. Gunn has equipped his black
smith shop with a spring pinching
machine. It is the only one in Oregon
east of Portland. He is prepared now
to take old buggy springs apart, rebend,
temper and set them np anew. He
keeps on hand a supply of the various
sixes of bar spring steel. New leaves
put in on short notice.
FOOTBALL.
The Heppner football boys are pra&
ticing daily now, ana prohamy have a
game in Bight with Walla Walla about
Oct. 12. They have secured J. E
Sharpe's former shop for a training and
bathing rendezvous.
WOOL.
Lack of life still continues in the
Heppner wool market, and Manager
Hynd.ofthe big warehouse, does not
look for much lenewal of activity be'
fore the beginning of the new year.
Three buyers came to Heppner Sat
nrdav, Messrs. Stetson, of Philadelphia,
Walker of Boston, and Frank Lee, but
they departed Monday without doing
any business.
Frank Johnson, the well-known Chi'
cago buyer, also came up from Port
laud, ami is still here, at homo among
his old menus.
In Boston the market continues dull,
and sales light. Prices are being held
for all kinds of wool, but any pressure
lo force sales would tend to reduce
prices greatly. Territory wools con'
tinus to head the list of sales.

FIRST FROSTS.
Heppner sidewalks were all over
white yesterday morning, and it was the
first frost of the season. It has brought
bright autumn weather, with crisp
clear nights when the hogs in the fence
corners spoon closer together and sheep
appreciate their own wool.
And now the hawthorns are firing np
the vellow save is in bloom, and autumn
tint on turning tamaracks will soon be
seen along the higher ridges,

The supplement of 10,000 so-called "new
words," which some of these books are adver

It contains over aJ0 pages, with illustra
