The Heppner Gazette
Thursday, Nov. 8, 1900
McKinloy and Roosevelt are elected.
The latest returns on electoral vote give
them 292 to Bryan's 156.
McKinley carried Oregon by 14,225,
with 209 precincts yet to bear from.
Morrow county gave every precinct to
McKinley. Many conscientious Demo
crats refused to vote for Bryan because
he did not represent the principles of
their party.
Now for business, and let politix take
a rest for a spell.
President McKinley has request
ed that Thursday, Nov. 29 be ob
served as Thanksgiving day.
COMMON SENSE DID IT.
The re-election of McKinley and
consequent endorsement of the
Republican policy of protection to
American industry BDd continu
ance of the gold standard is the
result of the exercise of good com
mon sense on the part of the
people.
The sound financial and protec
tive policy of the Republican ad
ministration has brought good re
sult to the entire nation, and the
great majority of the paople knew
better than to vote for a change
that showed every symptom of
bringing disaster to industrial in
terests all over the United States.
The Republican victory ip a vio
tory for common sense.
IMPORTANT INTERESTS.
The time has come for Heppner
to move forward and enjoy the
benefits of modern methods.
Time was when it might do for
Heppner to have its depot of a
mile from the business part of
town.
But now that time has passed,
and it must have become clear to
town-lot owners that the business
part of Heppner can never be
moved of a mile from where it
was first properly planted.
The time has come when the
railroad depot, the telegraph office
and the expreHB oflioe should be
moved up town and located where
they will be convenient to the
business houses and residences of
the people.
It would be for the public good
if the town council would allow
the railroad company to extend its
track along one of the back streets
and remove its depot to some point
close to the busineHs center.
Naturally an extension up Wil
low creek to the timber would
follow. The Blue mountains, close
to Heppner, will furnish fuel for all
of Morrow county, as soon as a
railroad extension is built to haul
it down Willow creek.
Heppner'a electric light is now
made from fuel that comes from
the Cascade mountains, more than
100 miles awayr and most of the
town's future fuel for the coming
winter will have to be brought from
the same source. It should all come
from the adjaoent Blue mountains,
a down grade the entire distanoe
of 20 miles.
Let the town council and repre
sentative business men and the
railroad company get together and
discuss these important interests
and agree on the main points of
putting Heppner in closer touch
with the modern conveniences
which are now to it so near and
yet so far.
THINGS NEEDED.
Heppner and the great interior
to the south is rapidly developing,
and the government should hasten
to extend it a 7-day mail service
and closer connection with the
outside world.
This is a region of rich resour
ces, does an immense and growing
business, and must not be over
looked in the distribution of mod
ern methods.
The telegraph and express com
pany have been giving Heppner
the marble heart and icy eye, by
keeping their oflicos of a mile
from the business center, and it is
time they reformed.
CLEAN CAMPAIGN.
In Morrow County the campaign just
closed has been a clean contest, free
from mud-sliiiKing, as it should be.
People here are liberal-minded and
perfectly willing to tolerate the opinions
of others. Democrats and Republicans
alike recognize the fact that all Ameri
cana are brothers, striving for the best
interests of tlx nation, notwithstanding
dilTurences of opiniun as to particular
policies.
It has been a clean campaign, and the
voters have done their own thinking.
The only blotch on the clear sky is that
of a newspaper tloppiiu under fire, after
tiie contest bad been practically decided
and the Democratic committee bad de
clined its I10.S0 oiler. Such newspa
pers are properly rated bv the people
as are the flopping Jack. Mormons of
Utah.
CLOSED THE CAMPAIGN.
Ex-Senator J. II. Mitchell made a
vigorous speech in the Heppner opera
house Monday evening, and undoubted
ly made many votes for the Republican
party. The audience was large and ap
preciative, and contained many Demo'
crate who are always willing to hear
both sides in politix.
Mr. Mitchell was entertained at the
home of Judge Ellis, both having rep
resented Oregon in congress at the
same time.
Early in the evening a grand torch
light procession was formed under the
management of Dr. Hunlock, and a
parade was had, 60 torches being in
line, little Marc Gunn Mascot, with the
talented Heppner Symphony Band
rendering its best music.
Senator Mitchell was escorted to the
hall and introduced in a hearty manner
by Judge Ellis.
Mr. Mitchell feelingly referred to his
pleasant relations with the late Hon.
J. L. Morrow, and paid a tribute of re
spect to his memory, his integrity and
his liberality.
The senator took up all the political
issues of the day, aud handled them in
a masterful manner. The way in which
he contrasted conditions under different
administrations was especially con
vincing. On the platform were Mayor Frank
Gilliam, Ex-Mayor Geo. Conser, R. C.
Wills, Alex. Thompson, Jay Shipley,
W. L. Mallory, Dr. Swinburne and
others.
WHEAT, WOOL AND STOCK.
Portland, Nov. 7.
The wheat market has held pretty
steady, and some improvement is noted
during the past week. It made a fine
close Saturday, and come back full and
strong on Monday, but some of the
strength' seemed to have oozed out dur-
ng election day, for the American mar
ket scored a material loss yesterday.
The foreign markets were in good shape
with futures slightly higher than on the
day previous. In the local market, buy
ers and sellers are not exactly in ac
dord in their values, and the business is
on a restricted scale. Some soles of
Walla Walla are reported this week, as
high as 54 cents, but most of the export
ers are not quoting above 53 cents.

PAY TAXES WITH WARRANTS.
The Morrow county court has just
made a very just order in the interest
of tax-puyers.
It is that any taxes may be paid with
county warrants on which no interest is
claimed or has accumulated. Full face
of warrants will be allowed. Few
counties can afford to do this, but Mor
row has been well managed and is in
good circumstances.
Morrow County Court will meet in
special session Nov. 10 and 17 to con
sider road business, and Tom Hailey,
district attorney, will be in attendance.

Why, you ought to know.
SHEEP.
So soon as it was known that the
protective tariff policy had been en
dorsed by the people, Heppner sheep
owners considered their sheep worth
much more than formerly. Not many
were inclined to sell, but those who
were, wanted new values. John Busick
would take $5 a head for his, A. J.
Tillard $3.50. Others vibrate between
these two extremes, hut all owners re
gard their sheep as gilt-edged property.
Lawrence Sweek has sold 700 ewes
of mixed ages to Claud Herren & Father
at $2.50.
On general principles as a prevent'
tive, Jim Hsger will dip his sheep to
day.
Henry Scherzinger, Morrow county's
efficient stock inspector, will start to
morrow on his long round of inspection
all over the county.
Jock McKeozie has brought out of the
timber the last band of the Penland
sheep.
Harry Cummings has sold to W. O
Bayless a half-interest in his band of
1330 ewes and lambs on the basis of
$2.25.
Hynd Bros, have bought 535 4-year
old ewes from Anson Wright.
Crockett Kirk has sold 400 ewes to
Moreland Bros., of Hardman, at $2.50;
also same number to Anson Wiight at
same figure.
Geo. Gray arrived today with 3300
head of ewes and wethers, which he
bought at the head of Ochoco for the
Oregon Land and Construction Co., and
will drive them to the company ranch
six miles below Echo.
WOOL.
Now that the continuation of confi
dence is assured, woolgrowers are
firmer holders, and anticipate higher
prices and a return of life to the market
R. F. Hynd, who is both a dealer and
grower, says be thinks that as soon as
growers can again get the offers made
them last spring, and cost of holding,
they will let go of the 2,000,000 pounds
still stored in Heppner warehouses
that would be about 14 to 14 cents
for best clips.
Alex. Thompson says that since the
election he would not take 15 cents for
his wool.
Two woolbuyers who have never be
fore operated here have been in Hepp'
ner the past few days sizing up the
situation.
Wm. Barratt thinks that wool is go
ing to begin to move right away now,
with prices up again to spring figures.
Hugh Fields has been predicting a
2-cent advance at once.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.
Notable among the pleasures afforded
by the Shasta route is the winter trip
to Southern California and Arizona.
Renewed acquaintance with this section
will ever develop fresh points of interest
and add sources of enjoyment, under its
sunny skies, in the variety of its in
dustries, in its prolific vegetation and
among its numberless resorts of moun
tain, shore, valley and plain.
The two daily Shasta trains from Port
land to California have been recently
equipped with the most approved pat
tern of standard and tourist sleeping
cars, but the low rates of fare will still
continue in effect.
Illustrated guides to the winter re
sorts of California and Arizona maybe
