The people of Morrow county
will hear the political issues of the

on Oct. 19 and 20.
COMING CONTEST.
Another election day will soon
be here, and the people will have
to decide on what policy is to be
pursued by the government during
the next four years.
Certainly the policy of protec
Hon pursued by the republican
party commends itself to the peo
ple. It has been a policy of Amer
ican industry lirst, the world
afterward.
The people of Morrow county
only too well remember the blight
that came down upon them under
the free trade of a former adminis
tration, and certainly they ought
not to vote for a return of those
terrible times when live-stock wns
worth nothing, when the employer
could make nothing ami the work
man's work was work nothing.
There is common Bense as well
as sentiment in politix, and the
confidence that was restored by
the Kepublican party should not
be Bgain destroyed.
It is common sense to continue
the present solid business condi
tions and folly to destroy them,
ano every mau should think long
and loud before he castB his vote
in favor of free trade and another
great depression.
THE GREAT INTERIOR.
Oregon's great interior is a vast
region of rich resources. From it
How to Portland and the seaboard
swift streams of wheat, wool and
moat staple products all, that
the world wants.
This great interior is having a
wonderful development, and its
increasing population needs and
deserves modern conveniences.
Those that it can buy it buys free
ly and willingly pays for.
There are other conveniences
and necessities that it cannot buy,
but ought to have, and one of them
is daily touch with the outside
world by a daily mail.
This is a modern necessity that
the government should grant at
once.
One of the main arteries con
necting the great interior with the
outside world is the state road
leading from away south 200 miles
to Iieppner, the railroad terminus
for that vast region. Heppner is
its banking and railroad point, and
the business of the whole region
demands daily mail facilities.
The interior is alive and full of
business, and a day's delay often
means heavy Iohhob.
Lot the government do the fair
thing by the great interior, and
give it the daily mail servico it re
quires and desoryes.
UNFAIR TO UKITNKK.
The Pacific Express Co. and
the Western Union Telegraph Co.
are not doing the fair thing by
1 leppner.
They maintain their ofiices three
quarters of a mile from the busi
ness part of the town, thus making
it very inconvenient for the people.
While the express company de
livers packages at your door in
other towns, it does not do bo in
Heppner. It should do so, and
should in all fairness stand the
email expense of delivery, for its
rates are high enough to stand it
instead of putting it oiT onto the
people.
Iieppner is a growing business
town, and its business entitles it
to express and telegraph ofllces in
its business center, and the same
advantages awarded to other
towns.
WORKINGMAN AND MERCHANT.
A. H. Pavers, a prominent Port
land merchant well known
throughout the Pacific Northwest,
writes to the Oregonian as follows:
The election of Bryan would, in
my opinion, prove disastrous to
laboring man and merchant
Bryan stands for free silver and
the debasement of the currency.
A young man who was an ardent
Bryanite iu 1896 told me a short
time ago that he intended to vote
for McKinley, aud that if Bryan
were elected be would withdraw
his money from the bank and bury
it. He had put in gold and wanted
gold in return, and would not take
chances on getting silver. This is
one instance out of hundreds of
thousands throughout the country.
It is not the wealthy man who
contracts the currency. He wants
money to operate with, or wants to
loan his money to advantage. It
is the numerous small holders
withdrawing their money lrom
circulation who make the scarcity,
cause the failure of banks, and
through this comes the natural re
sult of hard times, shortage of
labor and general depression, r ur
ther than this, manufacturers
would immediately curtail their
purchases of raw material aDd their
output of manufactured goods.
Fearful of a change in the tariff,
the jobber and retailer would buy
sparingly for the same reason, all
of which would mean less employ
ment for the laboring man, and in
all likelihood lower wages for those
employed. As to the Northwest
and Pacific coast interests in par
ticular, I believe that expansion
has been a great factor in our ma
terial advancement in the past few
years, and I believe that Demo
cratic success would be a very
severe blow to this particular sec.
tion of the country. Expansion,
with a firm foothold in the Orient,
means steady employment of labor
and steady markets for numerous
ordinary agricultural products of
the Northwest, which would all he
put in jeopardy by the election of
Bryan.
STAGE STOCK SOLD.
All the property in sight belonging to
the bankrupt stage line formerly run be'
tween Heppner and Canyon City was
sold at auction at Henry Thompson'
stable here Tuesday by T. J. Humph
reys, trustee. The horses were poor
and pretty well run down, and the
wagons ditto. Art Minor secured
pretty fair team of calicoes at $42, and
Jim Jones bought a pair of chunky
grays at $!)0 and sold thom next day
for $100; H. A. Thompson bought 5
head, Jas. Mitchell f, Gene Oilman
4 or 5, and Edward Driskell
cot a span for $24 that will each weigl;
1200 when built up. Geo. Wells bought
a good young team at $:4. Considering
condition, the stock sold well.
The total proceeds of the sale were
$78!l, which will pay only 5 cents on the
dollar of the $12,000 owed by the stage
outfit.
Miller the stage man will long be re
membered as Miller the Uilk by the
people of Heppner and the interior, and
his contemptible methods will be thw di
rect cause of lionoHt people being re
fused credit. He did one of the most
contemptible thingH bwat out of board
bills women who had stood over scorch
ing stoves and cooked for him; also
beat stable men who bad fed Ins teamB.
Among Miller's victims are Tom Bee
son, hostler at Long kiick, $2.r)0; Wm.
Kinsman, driver, $117. HO; Geo. Luttrell
$110; A. K. Humphreys $107: Mrs.
Wilson, Monument, board, $;if0; anoth
er woman at Spanish Gulch $2.r0. The
amount due for labor alone was $!K!7.
Drivers and IiihHimh supposed that
the government would py them and de
duct it, from the mail money. Hut no.
The Miller family fixed that by having
the mail contract in the name of the old
man Miller at The Dalles, while the men
who did the work were hired by Miller
the son.
SHEEP.
At the old home place ot Wm. A) era,
on Butter creek, Monday, Wm. Penland
bought from , Ayers & Spencer 1900
lambs at $2 10.
Arthur Minor considers that the 500
lambs he bought from John AyerB are
the finest bunch in the country.
M. C. Corrigall's band of 1600 lambB
passed through Heppner Tuesday on
their way to the home range. They
were round as butter-balls.
Tom Quaid will on next Saturday re
ceive the band of lambs be bought
from Andy Tillard.
Jack McKenzie, who was in Tuesday,
is now tending camp for all of Wm.
Penland's 8 bands of sheep, which are
now on fall range along the timber's
edge from Rutabaga to the old Garri-
gues & Keithley sawmill. It keeps
Jack rustling, but ho always was a hard
worker, and he says he never saw grass
better than it is now. He will bring
the sheep onto winter range in De
cember.
The J. S.Busick sheep passed through
Iieppner yesterday on their way to tbe
home range.
Wm. Hughes has been having a brisk
sale of Cunningham bucks this week,
and is keepii g them at Binns Bros.'
stable.
, When the count-up was made on the
band of sheep belonging to R. F. Hynd
and W. G. McCarty, on their return
fr m tbe mountains, it was found that
only the average loss of ? I,er cent had
occurred, and 1214 ewes had diopped
and raised 1334 lambs.
Geo. Gray returned to Heppner yes
terday, and has gone to the John Day
to bring back a big band of wethers
which will be fed in Umatilla county.
George is negotiating several big sheep
deals which will be completed later.
G. W. Hunt, the former railroad
builder, has gone into the sheep busi
ness on tbe old Leezer ranch, lower
Umatilla meadows. He has lots of hay,
and will feed wethers while his neigh
bors are teeding cattle. Mr. Hunt wants
to buy Merino ewes to cross with his
Lincoln bucks, and Hugh Fields thinks
that it will not make a good mixture,
as the lambs will be too heavy.
A TRUE PROPHET.
Capt. Harry L. Bailey, of the U. S.
array, is a prophet and true forecaster
of future events. He is serving with
his regiment in the Philippines, and a
year ago bis letters to friends in Oregon
were printed in Tbe Oregonian.
He described the actual condition of
things there, and predicted what events
were going to happen.
Just as he foretold, things have hap
pened and are happening, showing that
he is a careful student of his surround
ings. . Capt.. Bailey is one of nature's noble
men, cultured and refined, but always
ready to rouuh it on army campaigns.
As a lieutenant in the gallant 21st in
fantry he fought Indians in Oregon in
'77 and '78, fought. Utes in Colorado,
and went through the bard fighting of
the war in Cuba. He is a successful
stndeut and correct reader of events,
and his many old-time frieDds in the
Pacific Northwest hope that he may
some day return to them.
ELECTION RETURNS.
The great day that decides who shall
be the next president will soon be here,
and at the earliest moment, Heppner
people will want to know the result.
Their obtaining the news will depend
upon themselves, aud with some exer
tion a great miny returns may be re
ceived and announced here just as soon
as elsewhere.
The telegraph company Is in the field
to do business, and for proper compen
sation will tick returns to Heppner all
the night alter election. The cost of
this service will have to bo raised
among the peop'e in small subscriptions,
b'onr years ago the matter was ably
band lei I by George Oonser, and if he
can be induced to again manage it with
his usual energy, it will be a source of
satisfaction to all.
COWS AND I'.ONDS.
At the special council meeting last
night the petition to let cows run out
was indefinitely postponed. The court
oilmen seemed to think that it was
child's play to ask them in one petition
to keep tbe cows olf" tbe streets and in
another, within two weeks, ask them lo
let the cows out.
Treasurer ltriggs wa instructed to
pav from tbe sinking fund $1000 on the
$5000 water bond now due. Bids will be
advertised for to re fund tbe other $40tX)
at a lower rate of interest than the bond
now draws, 8 percent.
MODERN METHODS.
The books of Morrow county are
models of neatness, and now their com
pactness is being improved upon. In
County Clerk Crawford's otlbe there
has just been put to work a book type
writer which spreads deeds and other
documents on record much more com
pactly than could be dune by hand,
coveiing but one-third tf the space.
The machine is on trial, and another is
coming to compete with it and try conclusions.
If you want to buy somo very low
priced ranches, see George Wells, at
Conner & Worrcn's drug store.

A reward of $100 will be paid for the
arrest and conviction of any person or
persons stealing horses branded E. D,
or -S- on left stifle.
