Over in the thriving John Day country, aronnd the town of Spray, the people need and ought to have better mail service. A letter started from their rail road and banking point, Heppner, has to put in several days and double on its trail away around the horn to get there. The postal authorities ought to improve the service by giving peo pie over there direct communica tion with Heppner. They are en titled to it, and ought to have it, and the petition that Heppner peo ple sent in ought to be aoted on favorably and at once. MOVING THE DEPOT. The agitation begun in the Ga zette a few weeks ago in regard to moving Heppner's distant depot, express and telegraph office from the 26th ward up somewhere near the business part of town, is bear ing good fruit, and begins to look as though it might result in success. A meeting was held Saturday night, at which it was decided to request Mayor Gilliam to appoint a committee of five to confer with the O. R. & N. Co. in regard to the matter. The committee has been ap pointed, and consists of the follow ing prominent citizens and tax payers: Senator J. W. Morrow, Judge "W. R. Ellis, Mayor Frank Gilliam, George Oonser, cashier of the First National Bank, and Oscar Minor, of Minor & Co., merchants. The matter is now in the hands of these gentlemen, and they may be depended upon to do their duty by the people. PATH OF PROGRESS. This has been the century of heroic fact-finding, the ceDtury of the emancipation of thought from mystery and dogma, and of the yielding of precedent to experience. The people are more nearly the masters of nature and are more at home in the universe than any pre decessors, a universe that is bet ter known, and for that reason the more wonderfal and the more homelike. The keynote of American life, as the century ends, is the note of joyful achievement; and its faith is an evangelical faith in a democ racy that broadens as fast as social growth invites. The repubho has been extended, held together, again extended, and it is still the liar bor of refuge and the beacon of civili zation. Its influence has broad ened the thought of the Old World, and is now felt in the Oldest World. It is liberalizing kings to ward their uncrowning, and soften ing class distinctions, and it is making all artificial authority ob solete. Its century of action and of social experiment has turned all formal philosophies into curiosities of literature. It has now yielded material for a new period of con structive thought.

If the railroad is extended up town, as it Bhould be, every owner of private property whose ground is used should of course receive its full cash value, and undoubtedly will. Real estate is cheaper now than it ever will be again, and the sooner the extension is made tbe better it will be for all interested, AMERICAN PLAN ONLY. The Palace Hotel, of Heppner, is one of the home institutions that Eastern Oregon may well be proud of. It fills the field as a first-olass bouse, and it employs only competent white help. It is conducted strictly on the American plan, and its commodious well-fisrnished rooms and bountiful tables give satis faction to nil its patrons. If the flip-flopping Times is as successful in moving the depot up as it was in moving the Wheeler county-seat, its modest assistance ought to be very valuable, and of course it i as usual the whole push. BRIGHTER BUSINESS. JSo administration can insure permament prosperity, for various causes may cause stoppages in business, and periods of retrogrea sion are bound to be met. But the general tendency is now toward even greater things than in the past. It is no time for pessimism, but one to exoite hope and strengthen courage. When you see nothing but improvement be' hind, there is no reason to look for anything but deterioration before. Of government notning is demand' ed but a continuance of good busi ness policies, offering fair play to capital, defense for individual and property rights, protection for the rewards of labor and industry, and good management in all depart. xnents. Let the administration at tend to these and the people will do the rest The conclusion of the late cam' paign has given every indication of a revival of business and conse quent continuance of prosperity, which showed the usual check that an uncertain political condition is apt to bring to business. For many weeks business had been waiting upon election. Dealers were not stocking up, stocks were weak and nerveless, commercial travelers camt in off the road, many orders for goods were made conditiona upon the election, and enterprise generally needed the stimulus o: hopeful conditions to push its plans for the future. With the election over, trade, speculation and business adventures spring forward simultaneously to take ad' vantage of opportunities which are recognized as a continuance of the good times of the last three years. GOLD! GOLD I The gold fields of Eastern Ore eon have enjoyed this year one o the longest summers in its history savs the Granite Gem. The result is that an extraordinary large amount of surface work has been done and the miners have not yet come in from the hills, as there has been little snow to impede work. It is probable that there will be a light winter and tnai much development work will be done before spring, thus placing many new properties on the mar k.et. GRAND OLD MAN. Ottlie old rainbow-chaser who was recently re-elected governor of Wash ington, the Olympia Standard says : The Whitaker-Uay Publishing Co., of San Francisco, have been compelled to ue JohnR. Rogers, tbe executive of the state, for f'.M) due on printing one ot his erratic books, entitled "Life." HAULING GOES ON. Notwithstanding tbe fact that reoent rains have made tbe roads rather roilly, heavy-loaded wheat wagons continue to roll into Heppner and into other towns along tbe Heppner railroad. Big freight oatfitt continue to ply be tween Heppner and pointa in the great interior as far away as 20C miles to the south. Tbey come with jingling bells to cheer on both horses and drivers, and tbe latter do not speak of the roads be ing macadamised,' Hat tbey seem to get through iust tbe same and make their night camps along the road. As most of the route runs through the Blue mountains, there ia an abundance of wood for fuel. Winter freighting would seem like a hard proposition, but the Heppner freighters seem to keep good-natured through it all. WEATHER. Tbe Chinook wind that came last Thursday soon ate op the few inches of early snow, and left the Heppner Hills again green. ! Sunday some warm abowera fell, and were followed by bright, sunshiny weather, with frosty nights. The bunchgrasa in the bills ia growing right along, and was never better for stock. Wednesday was a day mixed with frosty fog and struggling sunshine. SCALP TAX.

"I have used Chamberlain's Colic, Qholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and find it to be a great medioine," says Mr. K 8. Phi pps. of Potean. Ark. "It eurad me of bloody flux. I oannot speak, too highly of it." This remedy always wins the good opinion, if not praise, of those wbo use it. The qniok cares which it effeots even in the most severe esses make it a favorite everywhere. For sale by Conser A Warren. Good Wages Made!
