County1 Commissioner Ed C. Ash

ton and 1200 bushels sold to has.
Johnson at Pettys, all at 43 cents
a bushel.
Mr. Ashbangh -says there is no
profit in raising wbe.t at 43 cents.
He raised 15,000 ' bushels the past
season. In 1891 Mr.' Ashbaugb
received 5 rcents for his -wheat
and had a yield of 40 bushels to
acre. In addition to his own land
he rented GO acres, paid $2 an acre
casbreut, and cleared $1300 on it.
Mr. Ashbaugb would like to see
a big fall of enow, ' and 'feels sure
it would be followed by big crops.
In 1891 the fall Was 27 inches, land
the yield was great. ,
The Oregonian of Dec. 30 said:
The wheat market took a violent
turn upward yesterday, 'aad the
East was booming. The Portland
market has been so far in front of
the procession throughout the sea
son that the full extent of the ad
vance in other taarketa 'was not
reflected locally. Walla' Walla
wheat sold around 54i and 55 "cts.,
and a fraction above these figures
was paid for ' some fancy stock.
Bluest em is in nominal demand at
the -usual differential -of 2 to 3
cents per bushel. Shipments are
holding up very well, another car
go cle&ring yesterday, and bring
ing the total - shipmentr for the
month, e j elusive of flour, up to
over 1,900,000 bushels. Valley
millers continue to buy consider
able wheat in this market, and bo
long as this condition of affairs ex
ists there can be no export quota

this market
Freights are ruling steady, "with
a fair amount of business doing.
As high as 37s 6d has been paid
for next season ships, but large
Carriers are obtainable at less.
Nothing is obtainable, however,'
this eide of April at less that 40
shillings.
LONG HAUL FOR FUEL.
H. V. Gates is shippfng cordwood
from Fairviewy Multnomah county, to
Heppner, for the use of his light and
water plant there. This is hauling wood
160 miles, though there is plenty of
wood in the Blue mountains, 20 miles
from Heppner. The heavy body fir of
Western Orefron, Mr. Gates thinks, is
the best wooden fuel in the world, and
so he considers it economy to ship it
trom Falrview. It costs him, laid down
in Heppner, $3.40 per cord, while the
soft pine of the Blue mountains can be
bought in Heppner for if J.
The above Is from "yesterday's Ore
gonian, which is mistaken about the
price of wood in Heppner. Pine and
fir, 4-foot, retail here now at $6, and
the summer price is $5. There are vast
bodies of good fuel timber within 18
miles of Heppner, that can be bought
where chopped at $1.50 a cord, and it
would be a paying investment for Bothe
capitalist to build a narrow-gouge, jerk
water railroad along I he water-grade of
Willow creek and haul fuel to Heppner;

GAY AND WITTY.
The Irish peasant is still what
Sir Walter Soott called him after
the visit of the great novelist to
Ireland in the early thirties he is
still : "the gayest fellow in the
world under difficulties and afflic
tion." He has a cheerful way of
regarding circumstances Which to
others would be most unpleasant
and disheartening. A peasant met
with an accident which resulted in
a broken leg. The neighbors,1 of
course, commiserated him. "Ar
rah," ha remarked, with a gleam
of satisfaction in his eye as he re
garded the bandaged limb, "what
a blessing it is that it wasn't me
neck." Yes, the irrepressible
Irishman has a joke for 'every oc
casion. Two countrymen who had
not seen each other for a long time
met at a fair. "Shure it's married
I am," Baid O'Brien. "You don't
tell me so!" said Blake. "Faith,
yes," said O'Brien, "and I've got a
fine healthy boy which the neigh
bors say is the very picter of me."
Blake looked for a moment at
O'Brien, who was not, to say the
least, remarkable for his good
looks, and then said: , "Oh, well,
what's the harrum so long as the
child's healthy?"
AT SOLDIERS' HOME.
Philip Fair, writing from the Soldiers'
Home at Roseburg, says:
The old soldiers very much appreciate
the copy of the Heppner Gazette you
send here.
We have about 100 members in the
home. In summer time we generally
have from 10 to 15 out on furlough,
visiting relatives and friends.
We have 75 members In the home
building and about 25 patients in the
hospital. Many worthy -veterans are
refused admission because there is no
room to accommodate them. The home
building and hospital arc inadequate
for the demand, and oar last legislature
reduced the "appropriations several
thousand dollars. This was done
through some misrepresentations of
some parties '. who were prejudiced ior
perhaps did not understand the needs
of this institution, and we hope and
look'fdr our1 next legislature to make
sufficient appropriations so as to enable
the managers of the home to enlarge
the hospital so as to acc6mmodate those
now awaiting admission.
The sanitary condition is all it could
be; the clothing is good and sufficient;
the food is well cooked and served, and
It Is putting it mild when I state the
variety of food is not excelled by afty
second-class hotel io Oregon, and I
may add the average farmer and me
chanic lives no 'better than we do 'in
this home. Wt raiee on our home
farm the finest variety of vegetables in
Oregon, and have ' froit and berries.
The farm work is mostly done by mem.
bers, who receive not to exceed 8 a
month.
' Our Comrrmmler W. J. Shipley and ,
Adjutant D. G. Palm are men of the
highest type always on the alert and
looking to the best interest of the home
and the members.
Bobt. Hart, formerly a resident ot
Heppner, Is a member of the home.
His weight has increased 17 pounds.
He is fireman in the hospital, running
the heating apparatus and be never felt
better inliis lite. This home life agrees
with him na fa is here to stay,
STEALING.
Chicken-stealing is often practiced
and becomes generally justifiable In
time of war, when hungry soldier-stomachs
feave their consciences blunted.
Bat in time of peace it is not to be
tolerated, and is not done on account of
lack of food.
Fifteen years ago many Heppner
boys formed a syndicate and sold to
Chinamen at a bit a head chk-kens they
bad stolen all over town.
To get a little money to go to a roller
skating rink these boys disgraced them
selves and their parents, and several
of them received proper punishment.
It looks as though a similar syndicate
bad recently been formed.
There is a bounty on coyote scalps
not only because the coyote steals
sheep, but also because 'he robs hen
roosts. Let boys beware lest in raiding roosts
they may be mistaken for coyotes while
lowering themselves into the same line
ot business.

GOOD CLIMATE HERE.
Col, H. E. Dosch, the pioneer
horticulturalist, who has traveled
xtensively and knows a good cli
mate when he sees it, has gone to
the Buffalo Xpobition and writes
from there to The Oregonian Dec.
26 as follows:
, If any Oregonian is dissatisfied
with our climatic conditions, just
let him take a pleasure (?) trip
across the continent to the Atlan
tic seaboard at this season of the
year. We had scarcely got out of
God's own country when our
troubles began -Bnow, ice and
blizzards galore all along the line,
and they are with us still.
Snow drifts all along Bear val
ley, and when we were called at
Laramie for brenkfast at 6 o'clock
a. in., found the thermometer had
gene down to 20 degrees below
zero, with a gentle 60-mile zephyr
breathing across the prairie, and
as the "Finch" gas had given out,
we -were groping about in the
gloaming for our unmentionables,
our happiness was complete, and
we have been happy ever since.
The Missouri and Mississippi
rivers are frozen over solid; the
horses, cattle and hogs are stand,
ing ib the fence corners in fact,
behind every available little shelt
er, shivering, while their human
brothers go about wrapped in com
fortable for coats and Arctic over,
shoes. The thousands of lighten
ing rods on every dwelling, barn,
chicken-coop and even ' telegraph
poles, tell what kind of summers
they have, and the people tell you
they enjoy it, but I presume that
for people who like that kind of
thing, they certainly have the kind
of thing they like. Oregon, glori
ous Oregon!
The beautiful timber belts so
familiar to us are oonspicuoaB by
their absence, but Mr. Johnson,

mill where we actually did see a
lot of ""saw-logs ' 10 inches in
diameter.

TWAIN'S TALK.

peorea in purine as a political
speaker, and that was in the pres
idential campaign of 1880. While
visiting at Elmira, N. I., in the
fall of that year, hea made a short
speech, introducing to the Repub
lican meeting General Hawley, of
Connecticut. In the course of his .
remarks, Twain said:
"General Hawley is a member
of my churoh in Hartford, and the
author of 'Beautiful Snow.' Maybe
he will deny that, but I am only
here to give him a character from
his last place. As a pure citizen,
I respect him; as a personal friend
of years, I have the warmest re
gard for him; as a neighbor whose
vegetable garden joins mine, why
why, I watch him. As the
author of 'Beautiful Snow' be has
added a new pang to winter. So
broad, so bountiful is his character,
that be never turned a-tramp
empty-handed from the door, but
always gave him a letter of intro
duction to me. Pure, honest, in
corruptible, that is Joe Hawley.
naven t said any more of him
than I would say of myself. Ladies
and gentlemen, thia is General
llawley.
IN CHINA.
Being oo the 'eastern Side 'of
great 'iontinent, China has the
same extremes of climate as are to
be found in ' the United States.
Fruits, flowers, and crops vary io
like manner. Tbe population of
China is over 885,000,000. 'That
of the British Isles in 1891 was hot
quite 38,000,000. That of Franca

The Russian nation,' alreatt ex
tended over one-sixth of the globe,
while China only extends over a
little more than One-twelfth, mus

thus has about one-third of the
Chinese population, with about
twice its territory to stretch itself
