PLAIN BUSINESS.
The Republican party has no
apologies to make to anyone. It
can point with pride to its record,
and earn up everything in the
grand word
Results!
It is a plain business fact that
the protective policy of the Re.
publican party has kept the wheels
of American industry revolving,
and it is a well-remembered fact
that the free-trade policy of the
opposite party did not do so.
It is a good, plain business prop.

Uregon to keep the Republican
party in power and prevent a re

USE THE FONE
Heppner is a growiner town
whose business men often have to
have lightoing communication
with the outside world.
But the telegraph company
keens its offiae 9 of a mils from
the business part of Heppner, and
tuere being no street-cars, the 1$
mue roundtrip walk is more of an
infliction than a picnic.
While the company persists in
keeping its office in the 2Gth ward,
Heppner people should use thn
long-distauce telephone instead of
the telegraph.
The telephone company is also a
souiieBB corporation that puts very
little of its profits in circulation in
Heppner, bat it has the redeeming
ieature or having sense enough to
keep its office in the town's bum.
Hess part, where it is accessible to
people.
APOSTATE PAPERS.
The newspaper performs an im
portant part in all political cam
paigns, and the paper that gets
onto one side or the other and
stays there through thick and thin
and works for its party in success
and defeat earns a reputation for
sincerity, and its utterances have
weight with the people.
But when a paper pretends to be
independent, and is still for sale
to the highest bidder, and Bells its
editorial columns for (5 an issue
in a county campaign and then
makes a deathbed confession and
flops to the other side, the people
estimate it at its true value and
class it with those contemptible
things that have been bought but
will not stay bought.
Such papers remind people of
Mat Lioutontliat's experience in
the last eloction. A worthless
character who had notoriously Bold
his vote came to Mat after election
and said:
"Well, I'm glad you are elected.
I did my best for you."
"Yes," said Mat, "ho did Judas
for Christ."
The churches have a very good
rule of keeping converts, on the
probationery mourners' bench, and
even then tbe smooth wolf often
Blips in.

USE THE MAIL.
The Pacific Express Co. not only
makes Heppner people pay all the
tariff will bear, but also forces them
to pay well up toward $400 a year
for having their packages deliv
ered in town.
This is wrong and an imposition
on Heppner.
The delivering should be done
by the express company, as it is in
other towns. Not only should the
delivering be done, but the com
pany should also keep an office in
the business part of Heppner in
stead of f of a mile an ay.
Until this justice is done the
town, Heppner people should send
their packages by mail.
And people at a distance should
know that when they send an ex
press package to Heppner and pre
pay the charges, it is still not pre
paid, as they suppose, for the
Heppner people who receive it are
taxed a delivery charge which the
express company should properly
pay.
It is time that the Pacific Ex
press Co. was according fair treat
ment to Heppner.

ever seen of Will Furnish is

Why should you vote for Mo

on the evening of Oct. 30 and hear
a few reasons advanced.
CRUSHING CHILDREN.
Heppner has queer luck with its
schoolmasters. The last one was a
cheap Portland politician whose bad
bills followed him here, and the present
one seems to be too cranky for any
earthly use. It is said that all school
masters get cranky as they get older,
and if that ia so they should go out
herding hogs when they reaoli tbe cranky
age instead ot engraftiDg their cranki
ness onto the impressionable minds of
children. No doubt there are better
balanced men out in the hills herding
sheep.
It has become common talk on the
street that the perfessor makes so many
supremely silly rules that the children
can't keep track ot them : that while
their parents buy books that teach them
freedom, new rules take away theirf ree
dom, and they might as well be serfs in
Poland, where Koscuuski shrieked when
freedom fell,
It seems that mere trifles are magni
fied into great crimes in the school now.
and little children are crushed and hu
miliated, and the perfessor acts as iudue,
jury and executioner. The crime of whis
pering is an awful one, and a little 8
year-old girl has been xpelldd for it and
publicly mortified. Tbe perfessor wrote
a letter saying that one of her parents
must come to tl.e place of business of
tbe teacher to have an understanding.
The fatberof the child is too busy at
work trying to earn money to pay bis
part of the taxes that go to make up the
big salary of $1000 paid the perfesser for
u moniDB worn, ana is too rauun ol a
free American to go cringing to anvone.
So he will not go. Other parents who
nave met tne professor say lie is the
acme ot sneering Rarcasm and tbe imag
inary owner of this district.
If whispering is such an awful crime
in the professor's ears he should change
his job to a mute school.
SHEEP.
Coyotes are said to be feasting on
lambs along the line of march taken by
Heppner sheep when returning from
the mountains. When separated from
Iheir mothers, as thousands of lambs
have recently been, they drop out of
Iheir bands in bunches of 50 to 200 and
straggle around by themselves. Some
of them got into other bands, but many
of them get into coyotes.
Cloud Herren returned yesterday
with two bands of 4300 sheep that he
had been running away beyond Straw
berry mountain, 125 miles from Hepp
ner. He managed them well, and there
was no loss.
Wm. Walbridge got hia band of lambs
home Friday from the distant John
Day.
Willard Horren came up Tuesday and
received his sheep, 1714 head, Bnd took
them to his place on lower 8mile. They
camped at Torn Morgan's over night.
Wm. Penland received Monday the
lamb band he had bought from Horren
Bros, at $2.10.
Tom Quaid went to the Til'ard ranch
Monday and received the band of lambs
he had bought.
When the count-up whs made at the
W. H. Barratt ranch, on tbe sheep from
tbe mountains, there was found to be
1010 lambs and 1450 ewes, making in
all 3000. This band numbered 3111
when it went away, with Con Mo-
Gonigal and W. 8. Thompson as herder
and camptender.
Almost all the Heppner Hills sheep
are now back on their home ranges,
where grass is most excellent.
John Q. Wilson now has 1471 lambs
at his home ranch, and wants to buy
700 more.
Some of the very bst lambs in tbe
country were the 2700 raised by Andy
Tillard and sold at $2.10, 1000 to Tom
Quaid and 1700 to Jim Jones.
Nat Webb has fold ill his sheep in
Idaho.
MUST HAVE IT.
One of nature's best gifts to man is
fuel with which to keep comfortable
and cook his food. There is good fuel
and bad fuel, but only the best is kept
by the new Heppner Wood and Coal
yard. K. A. Beaman, the proprietor,
is selling and delivering pine, tir and
oak wood, and Hock Springs and Ros-
lyn coal. He will furnish you fuel that
it surely satisfactory.

WHERE SHELLS SHRIEK.
Mac Clark, of tbe big Minor & Co.
store, Heppner, has again heard from
bis brother, Charles Clark, who is fill
ing an important position in the British
army in South Africa. In writing from
Winburg, Mr. Clark said:
Thursday evening the news arrived
by native runners that Col. Ridley and
company were surrounded and caught
in a trap and being slaughtered by the
Boers who were advancing on Winburg
for supplies. Immediately the alarm
sounded and everybody stood to arms.
Col. Napier, tbe Commandant, visited
all the outposts through a cold, piercing
rain storm. Assistance was wired for
to headquarters, and in the mean'ime
every soldier, even from the convales
cent camp, were registered to defend
the place. J. P. Boyer and I were given
instructions from the commanding
officer to take charge of supplies and
issue to the garrison. In case of Boer
citizens of the burg being caught loot
ing, were instructed to "shoot with in
tent to kill." In case of being shelled
we were instructed to seize stock books
and valuable documents and "git" to
some place ot refuge.
On Saturday night Gen. Hamilton
came in an armored train. Following it
came four large trains bearing 4000
cavalry, infantry and artillery. They
were immediately detrained and the
order was given to start marching at
3 o'clock. On arising on Sunday morn
ing I saw that the town was clear of tbe
entire party. In the meantime, Col.
Ridley and his party of scouts were
holding out vigorously and courage'
ously against Oliver and his commando.
Gen. Oliver, at 9 o'clock, gave this
party a short time to surrender as it
was waste of life to hold out against
such odds. . The surrender was ' not
forthcoming and Bhelling commenced
The Queenstowns fought desperately
and bad wasted nearly all their atnmu
nition when Gen. Hamilton and the
Cameron Highlanders appeared on the
scene and relieved tbis gallant company
just in tbe nick of time.
While tbe 21st Brigade were crossing
country to relieve tbe Queenstown
scouts, a halt was made for breakfast
near a farm house. Several officers
called to buy milk and eggs. After ee
curing tbe eggs tbe lady of the bouse
was asked as to the whereabouts of her
husband who was out on parole and
who had taken the oath that be bad
given up all his arms, not a fortnight
ago. lhe good frau replied that he
was at church. She had no sooner said
so, when in sneaked her husband by
tbe back door with a good mauser rifle
and 100 rounds of ammunition. He was
discovered in the act of hiding his arms,
was arrested and all his buildings
burned to the ground. There are thous
ands of similar cases, and the sooner
the British treat these rebels in the
proper way, tbe sooner this war will
be ended.
and that night the Boers came back and
attacked the town. The booming of
cannon was terrific, and where the
shells alighted I could - see clouds of
sand and duet rise up, and bb the shells
burst forth a flash of light appeared
Simultaneously from three points came
lotm reports of trie maddening shells.
Our artillery began tiring and the din
was awful. After the deafening report
of the guns would die away one could
hear the constant reports of rifle firing
from all directions. Tbe Queenstowns
and brabants Horse and mounted in
fantry completely surrounded the Boers
and Oliver and his sons and 24 Boers
were captured while trying to save one
of their guns. While the struggle was
in progress on the western kopje tbe
Boers attempted to place two pom poms
on a kopje to the east of the town. Im
mediately the 39th Battery brought two
guns into action at the station and
threw shrapnel shells right into the
midst of the Boers, scattering them in
all directions. Twenty shells were shot
and each one fell in the right spot, as
five Boers were killed and the guns put
out of action. From the northern kopjies
a desolutory fire was kept up, several of
the shells falling neir our office, scatter
ing stones and tearing up the earth.
At 11 o'clock the Queenstowns and
the Bedfords proudly marched in escort
ing Oliver and prisoners and followed
by thousands of soldiers. One private
very indescreetly rushed at Oliver and
attempted to strike him. He was ar
rested and imprisoned.' Oliver was
taken into the station, given a hot cud
of coffee and a lunch and treated as if
he were a gentleman and not a Boer.
He and the prisoners were sent to Cape
xown at once.
