As Chaa Surface arrived at the
depot Tuesday evening with A. T
McNay's express wagon a bolt fell
out and a shaft fell down, and the
mare scared and ran away.
The driver, was thrown off, but
fortunately was not hurt. The
mare ran on, kicked off the dash
board, burst through two gates at
Oscar Minors ! ranch and fetched
np snorting at the barn. ' (
It was a great victory for her.

broke Clyde's arm ; one horse very

A dispatch from The Dalles Dec. 8
says : A. sale of 150,000 pounds of wool
has been made here at 12)4 Oenta. Tbe
market has been very quiet here for the
past few months, and this is the first
important sale that is known to have
been made in the past two weeks.
There is very much wool yet stored in
the big warehouses of this city.
' SHEEP.
At Colfax, Wash., John J. Miller, a
stockman of the Snake river district,

617 sheep for $4.70 per head. The sheep
are all 2-year-old wethers, and are an
exceptionally fine lot They will be
shipped to market in Seattle and Spo
kane. This is one of the best sales of
tbe season.
HOMES ARE HERE.
The Heppner Gazet receives many
letters from men in the middle west,
asking il to answer by return mail a
great many questions abouta. Hepp
ner country.
To personally answer so many letters
and so many questions takes too much
time. "
When such people are thinking of
coming here, the Gazet freely mails
them sample copies and copies of its
circular describing the main points of
interest.
There is no reason why Morrow coun
ty cannot support twice its present pop
ulation, and lor tnose wbo are willing to
work, homes are here. The man with
cash to invert would probably reap as
rich returns from -it here as elsewhere,
for land values here are the lowest on
earth considering the production and
profits. '
Morrow county is in excellent finan
cial condition, taxes are very reason
able, and home-hunters who come here
and are willing to take chances with the
rest of us will find a fair share of pros
perity awaiting them.

WHEAT, WOOL AND STOCK.
Portland, Dec. 12.
New York wheat, after a dull and un
interesting session yesterday, closed
half a cent higher than on Monday.
Liverpool futures were also a little
better, but as a prompt shipment cargo
of Walla Walla sold at a shade less than
38s 6d in Liverpool, there was not much
incentive for an increase in bids in this
market. Fifty-three. cents was srener-
ally quoted, with some dealers going
nan a cent better, and some actual
sales being made at 54 cents. The
movement is quite restricted, and the
ouuook lavors a light business and low
prices. '

McCLURE'S FOR DECEMBER.
' The curious charm of the East holds
every imaginative mind that from afar
dreams of its mysteries. The like charm
interpreted in part by experience, yet
only tbe more subtly persistent, domi
nates those that have dwelt long in the
Orient. In this treasure field lie rich
est gems, as well of realism as of ro
mance, ready for that author wbo has
the art for their setting. Rudyard Kip
ling won his first fame by short stories
of life In India, stories at times tragically
prosaic, at times marvelous and mysti
cal, always pregnant with force. And
now again Kipling has chosen India as
the theme of his maturest work. In
McClure's Magazine for December ap
pears the first installment of "Kim,"
the latest and the most important novel
from Kipling's pen. From the beginning
it reveals iteelf as a masterpiece, worthy
alike of its theme and of its author.

WESTON LEADER.
It is a pleasing tact to note that the
Weston Leader has been enabled to
move into its own home building. The
Leader is a pioneer paper that has lived
and flourished through thick and thin,
and has always been a credit to its local
ity. It seems but yesterday, though it real
ly is 20 years since the Leader was
started by Col. Paul DeHaroand W. L.
Black. They left it and had queer ca
reers. The colonel went over hossback
and discovered and named the great
channel between B. C. and tbe U.S..
and Black went to Walla do. and suc
ceeded in a crusade of downing red li
quor. Then he went back east and was
lost to sight by being elected governor
of New York or some other of those
small, cold-climate states.
But the Leader liyes on and is a good
paper.

' SUCH IS LIFE.
Geo. Green, who used to live a
care-free . bachelor life, was in
Hegpner yesterday from his ranch
in Huckleberry Hollow. He was
very proud of the small twins he
had along, but they bothered him
a whole lot. The girl wanted to
camp at a doll counter, while the
boy insisted on going to a black
smith shop to see soma wild
horses shod.
By the time George has about
7 more offsprings all pulling in
different directions and has car
ried them through mumps and
measles, he will wonder what, for
he or they were ever born, and will
kink up his brows like this:
FAR FROM HEPPNER.
When Sam Carmack recently re
turned from the Paris Xposition,
where he went with a load of Yel
lowstone sheep, he wrote to an
old Heppner friend something like
this:
"I met at the Xposition our old
friend Denis de Torte, formerly
editor of the Heppner mill, and he
showed me all the sights. He is
now a noted artist in Paris, and
wants to again hunt elk in the
beautiful Blue mountains, an ex
perience he will never forget.
I will never forget the hapDV
days I had at old Fort Elder, when
Dave Herren and Helse Jones
came out to rescue me from
hostiles.
I had my eyes opened at the
xpoBition.
There has been as much romance
abcut the Oriental or Circassian
woman as about the Arabian horse,
but photography is stern disillu-
sionist. Harems have been photo
graphed. The beauties of the
harem, as they are called, have
been exposed to the ruthless cam
era and the world is now familiar
with the dark, coarse, heavy type
of molded rather than chiseled
features, lacking in vivacity and
spiritually. No artist would select
a Turkish woman for a model, and
no American with an educated
taste would want one of them for
a companion.
There was no lack of Turkish
belles at the Exposition. The side
shows abounded with them and
bevies of them could be seen in
the dance de ventre for one franc.
Some of them were real types and
doubtless tbe best specimens of
their class from the theatres of
Constantinople, Bcuturi and Cairo,
bat mixed among them were girls
from Chicago, New York, or may
be irom Kentucky or Illinois any.
where. It is not easy or important
to learn their whence or whither;
but they were Americans sans
doute and the way they outclassed
the sluggish girls of the Orient
when it came their turn to dance
wag convincing, but not moral.
AMERICAN BEEF.
London, Dec. 8. An extraordi
nary reversal of the conditions ap
pears in tbe English meat market
aDd it is likely that English beef
will soon be palmed off as Ameri
can. Hitherto tbe opposite has
always been the case. But by
clever manipulation the American
Hitlesmen have obtained control of
the market until American beef
costs as much as English beef.
Hence the liklihood of substitu
tions. Commenting on this situa
tion an English paper says:
"The American salesmen now
Make prices almost what they liko.
In the Englinh trade there was no
organization to oppose them. The
fnruu;rs have been in the hands of
the butchers, whose cupidity led
them into the arms of the Ameri
chiih. The only active opposition
the American;) hud to meet lay in
the prcjudioo of consumers. It
has taken 20 years to beat that
prejudice.'
