It is a ead spectacle to see old
Paul Kruger accepting ovations in
France while skedaddling from Iris
country.
NEGLECTED PEOPLE.
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.

On behalf of Morrow county, Treas
urer Mat Lichtenthal has sent to the
state treasurer $1755.67 cash collected
by Morrow county as bounty tax for
coyote scalps.

it to be a great medioine," says Mr. K

highly of it." This remedy always wins
the good opinion, if not praise, of those

effeots even in the most severe esses
make it a favorite everywhere. For sale
