The Heppner Gazetted
Thursday,... Dec 13, 1900
ENLARGED GAZETTE.
Having gotten well along in its
loth year, the Heppner Gazette
this week enlarges to six pages,
and without making any particular
blow abont it, will continue to
maintain its position as the pioneer
paper of the Heppner Hills.
MORROW'S PEOPLE.
The returns made by the census
bureau at Washington give Mor
row county less than 4200 pop
ulation. These figures may be correct as
far as showing all the people
found by the enumerators.
But the total is certainly too
small, and it looks as though there
were many missed.
One reason why they might have
been missed is that at the time the
ceneus was taken many of the
sheepmen had gone to their sum.
mer ranges in the mountains, as is
their annual custom.
Morrow county's population is
at least 5000, and it ought to be
double that.
The county offers great induce
ments to homeseekers, for here
land can be bought at a lower price
than anywhere else in the world,
other things being equal.
DEPOT.
President Mohler, of the O. E.
& N. Co., is still in the east, so the
Heppner committee on moving
the depot has been unable to
negotiate with him.
Some residents naturally object
to have the railroad coming up the
street in front of their houses.
On general principles it is not de
sirable, but in this case there
would be but two trains a day.
It might be best to have the
road extended along the bench on
the west side of town. It could
take a shy around Alex Thomp
son's barn and go west of Mayor
Gilliam's. A cut along there
wouldn't be much of a job, for the
railroad steam shovel would scoop
it out like old cheese. Or the road
might find some way to follow up
the creek and stop near the mill
or court house. Anyway, if the
road is extended, property owners
should be fairly paid for every
inch of their land taken.
There is room for many homo
seekers in Morrow county, and
they will find here all kinds of
lands at prices ranging from noth
ing an acre for homesteads up to
oil cents an acre for semi-am
laDds, 82.no an acre for timber
lands; from $3 to $5 an acre for
grazing and farming lands, and up
to ?.r0 an acre for bottom alfalfa
lands on which 3 crops of hay
year are cut, besides yielding
many months of good pasture
All tastes and purses can be suited
in Morrow county.
Congress Hhould pass a special
law compelling Director Merriam
to print in piturr type his signs
ture on public documents. At
present it needs an interpreter
and he makes an 11 that iB trying
to reach out and touch all of the
United States' new possessions.
WELCOME X.
Ihe Heppner Gazet returns
thanx to the congress of the U. 8,
for again sending that most wel
coma exchange, the Congressional
Keooru.
Such a live paper demonstrates
the difference between sensation
and stagnation. It is a paper to
take home and read and re-read to
the family under the evening elec-
tno-light, lor its poetry and tearf u
tales of adventure by land and sea
go to the ecstatio spot.
When the scope of the Keoord
is xplsinnd to the little ones it
does good by mixing in their minds
acres of sentiment that causes them
to pity the poor proofreaders who
have to read it all.
The editor of the llecord is such
a busy man that he hag no time
to rustle ads., ho the paper goes to
press without any, thus losing one
of its most readable features.
REFITTING THE OCCASION.
The holidays are here, the days
of Christmas cheer, the time when
human hearts undergo a re-awak
ening And take on an infusion of
new life.
Those are the days when people
enjoy both giving and receiving,
nud find both to be blessed mem
ories to treasure up in after years.
Morrow county people are fully
lip to the average in giving gifts,
and they are fortunate in finding
the gifts conveniently within their
reach. Ju coming to the county
seat to do their usual business
they can at the same time select
all the gift-giving articles they
need. Heppner merchants keen
right up with the procession, and
their stocks of everything, iuclud
iug holiday goods, are among the
largest iu the country.
Tho buying of holiday goods ia
now well started, and will assume
very large proportions during the
net two weeks, and it will pay
people all over the county to come
to lleppiu r and inspect tho large
stocks now displayed here. It
will be a pleasure to examine the
articles, whether yon buy or not
MANY DAYS LOST. "
This is an age of push and go,
steam and electricity, and the
town that keeps up the pace must
be in close touch with the rest of
the world.
Heppner ia the shipping and
banking point of the great interior,
and ought to be in daily touch
with the great business world.
As it is, owing to the postal de
partment not rising to the occa
sion, Heppner and its great tribu
tary interior has its mail business
stalled one day every week, 52
days a year.
This is a vary important matter,
and means much important busi
ness delayed. Heppner and the
immense region that does its busi
ness here should have its mail
every day in the year, and the
postal people should see that this
needed improvement is made as
soon as possible.

last night and taken today to his
mountain home, where thev wil
be laid alongside those of his wife
Mr. Allen died at the hospital
where he was operated on for ob
struotion of the bowels. The case
had gone too far for surgical skil
to save.

mountains, settling thoie 22 years
ago, ana was about 70 years old.
WINTER FREIGHTING.
Heppnor people now keep the Great
State Road in such good condition that
the people of the groat interior can get
their supplies hauled through all win'
ter. b reight outfits are on the road all
the time, and recently took , from Hepp
ner 31,000 pounds of freight, mostly gro
ceries, flour and provisions, for points
in Grant and adjoining counties.
Heppner is an important shipping
point.
NITEIIOOD.
"When Knighthood Was In Flower"
is a very sweet slot v. A bi ight and fair
review of the bo. k receMIr nppeared in
The Oregonian, written by N. J. Levin-
son, the citv editor. Hut with his usual
modesty Mr. L. neglected to tell of the
part ho took in making the successful
book. Fact is, he arranged it and divid
ed it up and put it into complete shape,
for the otherwise talented author knew
nothing about such practical details.
SHOWY WINDOWS.
It is worth a long trip to town
to see the attractive bIiow windows
of many of the Heppner stores.
Holiday goods are the main fea
ture, aud the art of window dress-
Dg is seen at its best. Tho most
attractive windows are those of
Thu Fair, Minor & A., (iilliam it

PAYING PROPOSITION.
Four-foot pine wood is now retailing
in Heppner at $6 a cord. Hundreds of
cords of slabwood is brought here 150
miles for tbe light and water company.
There are vast tracts of fuel timber at
the bead of Willow creek, 18 miles from
Heppner, gentle water-grade all tbe
way. Mountain men are willing to sell
the wood np there, cat, st $1.50 a cord.
It would pay some capitalist to build a
little narrow-gouge jerkwater railroad to
haul down this fuel.
The Heppner Gazet goes to every
State in the Union and to many not in
the Union. It reaches all other capital
ists through the' clipping bureaus. Let
some capitalist look into this Eeppner
wood-road proposition.

RHEUMATISM.
People who have rheumatism suffer
awful torture, and are ready to try al
most any of the different rtmedies that
everybody has heard of.
Packing potatoes around in the pocket
is one remedy, but it spoils the potato
and doesn't seem to always go to the
right spot.
Jack Clark, who has went through all
kinds of roughing it that ought to bring
on rheumatism, says the following
remedy is one that cures:
1 pint coal oil ; 1 pint turpentine: 25
cents worth of camphor gum ; same of
chloroform ; 2 ounces oil of spike.
mix an together, and wben using
anute what you use with one-fourth
water.
Another remedy which lias been
found very good is Collins' voltaic
porous plaster, which is sold at drug
stores, rut on all you have room for.
They may make you think that jou
have tbe 7-years' itch, but that isn't a
patch compared with rheumatism.

SCHOOL MONEY.
As many schools are about to com
plete their work for this school year,
the estimate given below is published
at this time in order that school officers
may be able to determine whether or
no the January apportionment will
justify a continuance of school. Tbe
estimate canbe safely depended upon,
since the apportionment will probably
allow the several districts more money
than the table herewith sets apart to
them.
It should be remembered that special
school tax levies must be made at such
time that the county clerk may be
notified of same on or before the first
day of February following. Our schools
are suffering for want of money. Let
us not cut down expenses at the wrong
end.
