The Heppner Gazette Thursday, Jan. 3, 1901 SHOW UP THE COUNTY. The special illustrated edition of the Heppner uazette which is now being prepared under the super vision of W. J. Homer, an ai tist of ability, will show np Morrow county as it is; will set forth its resources and give facts and figures and general information. It will contain views and portraits, and the engraving will be of the very best. No expense will be spared to make this special edition a credit to the county, and in size it will be about 20 pages, perhaps more. The Gazette will be glad to re ceive suggestions from any resident of the county as to special features, and any resident can have his ex perience here published if he will put it into a short sketch and send it in as soon as possible. Free sample copies of the Hepp ner Gazette are sent to anyone de Biring information about Morrow county. The Gazet has been pub lished at Heppner for 19 years. It is a 6-pege paper, $1.50 a year, 50 cents for 3 months. THE DISTANT DEPOT. On account of the absence in the east of President Mohler, of the 0. R. & N. Co., the matter of mov ing the Heppner depot up town has been allowed to rest. Mr. Mohler is expected back about Jan. 10, and very shortly after that it is probable that Mayor Frank Gilliam and the committee will go to Portland and take the matter up with him. The committee consists of nepp ner business men and taxpayers who will undoubtedly see that justice is done to all. If anybody's land is needed or damaged in the extension of the railroad, the owner should by all means receive full value for it. ARMY BEEF. It was hoped that the shameful scandal about embalmed beef had been buried. Such stuff should be buried and stay so. But Cow Gen. Alger has to dig it up to have another inquest. It having proven too tough for sol diers to eat, he has to now make it into hash and come to the rescue of Gen. Egan. The latter needs no rescuing, being safely shelved and drawing a big salary for doing nothing. Alger seeks to justify the vile abuse of Gen. tMiles by saying that Egan was ovejworked and tired out when he committed the offence. With a regiment of deputies doing his work for him, his main exer cise would be to sign his name and draw his pay, and. his powers of abuse scorned to be the freshest on earth. The personal statements of men who were at the front, where Egan and Alger were not, prove that embalmed beef, unht to eat, was sent to the soldiers, and all the arguments Alger could make in the next century would not wipe out the shameful fact. Soldiers who have been through the mill have had all sorts of ex periences eating all sorts of food and often all sorts of nothing, and took it as a matter of luck. But the most dingraceful thing in the records of the army was the fact that the U. 8. commissary depart ment, with limitless resources, furnished to soldiers on the Cuban campaign food unfit for dgs to eat and gave the world a chance to say: "O patriotism, what crimes are committed in thy name. The revival of the embalmed beef scandal recalls the fact that the matter was thoroughly investi gated and the facts lound to exist Now if the food furnished and unfurnished to Oregon and Wash ington volunteers during the re. cent wars were investigated, there might be some startling testimony brought out of feasting upstart oihcers and hungry, neglected privates. The latter being now out from under the shadow of the guard-hcuse, could tell true tales that would cast shadows of shame over officers who pose as heroes and seek political preferment on account of military service ren dered. The old men among tho Indian War Veterans who need pensions ought to receive them. But there ought to be a bar against such men as T. A. Wood, who never saw service in the field, who has the reputation of being a bilk, and who made contracts with many of the veterans whereby he would swipo large slices of their pensious for collecting them. TOO LATE. "When Columbus came ho sup posed the U. S. was the backyard of India, so he named the red na tives Indians, and the name came out thus in the Athona Press and other pioneer papers, and has since stuck. Now Major Towell and the Am. Anthro. Society want to change the name Indian to Amarind. Too lite to stop the press now. Might as well try to call the Hiwrtshes I.omooriviJs, 1 PATH OF PROGRESS. This past 19th century was one that make wonderful strides in the path of progress. It received from its predecessors the horse; it leaves the bicycle, the locomotive and the motor car. . It received the goose-quill; it leaves the typewriter. It received the scythe; it leaves the mowing machine. It received the hand printing press; it leaves the cylinder press. It received the painted canvas; it leaves lithography, photography and color photography. It received the hand loom; it leaves the cotton and woolen fac tory. It received gunpowder; it leaves lyddite. " It received the tallow dip; it leaves the electric lamp. It received the galvanic battery; it leaves the dynamo. It received the flint-lock; it leaves the Maxims. It received the sailing-ship; it leaves the steamship. It received the beacon signal fire; it leavts the telephone and wireless telegraphy. It received ordinary light; it leaves Ilontgen rayg. And in art, in literature, in music, the advance throughout the whole social scale is incalculable. BOSTON WOOL MARKET. Boston, Dec. 29. The American Wool & Cotton Reporter, in its an nual report of the wool situation, gives the stocks of wool in the country, exclusive of manufactured holdings, as 352,247,389 pounds, as compared with 157,398,879 pounds a year ago. The stocks in the three princi pal markets of the United States Boston, New York and Phila delphia-amount to 185,400,280 pounds, as compared with 113,295, 579 pounds last year. The stocks of wool in Boston are 130,019,084 pounds, as compared with 00,113, 743 pounds last year. This large increase in stocks on hand is ac counted for by the comparatively limited demand lor wool this year, increased importations of foreign wools and the fact that only a very small percentage of this year's clip has as yet been disposed of to manufacturers. Wools have been held back to an unusually large extent this year in the country. This is especially true of the fleece wool sections east of the M ississippi river. The wool production of the country is given as 281,452,437 , pounds. Imports of wool into Boston have been 58,723,032 pounds, as compared with 34,372,491 pounds last year. The sales of wool in the Boston market since January 1 amount to 140,975,100 pounds, as compared with 347,185,770 pounds last year. In other words the volume of busi ness has been considerably less than half of that of last year. The year 1900 will pass into his tory as one of the quietest and most unsatisfactory periods ever experienced in the wool trade. Depression has characterized the situation both abroad and at home. A feature of the business of the year has been the increased sub stitution of cotton lor wool, and a preference for the medium or lower grades of wool distinguished from the finer grades. As to the business of the past week, it has presented but few fea tures of interest calling for special mention. The demand has been as large as was expected in a holi day season, and has run princi pally to territories, unwashed fleeces and scoured wools. The sales amount to about 2,500,000 pounds, and represent quite a large number of transactions. Prices, while favoring the buyer, are not sufficiently changed to warrant any general lowering of quotations. A hopeful feeling prevades the trade that with the end of the year an improved demand for wool will set in, which will have the effect of lifting the market from its present condition of lethargy. The feeling is naturally strength ened somewhat by the continued favorable advices received from abroad. The sales of the week in Boston amounted to 2,108,700 pounds domestic and 335,000 pounds foreign, making a total of 2,503,700, against a total of 3,G00, 000 pounds for tho previous week, aud a total of 2,350,000 for the corresponding week last year. The total sales since January 1 amount to 11(5,975,100 pounds, against 847,183,776 pounds for the corresponding time last year. McCLUKE'8 FOR JANUARY. In variety aud worth of contents McClure's Magaziuo for January is notable, as well for literary merit aud for art. The first in a series of memoirs by Miss Clara Morris appears in this number, and by the graces of her writing the famous aolretw gives added value to a imrntive full of interest. In this is told the story of her trials and triumphs ou thoomiMon of her Ihdt appearance in New York. The fiction iu this issue is of the best. A second installment of Mr. Kmlyanl Kipling's new novel, "Kiiu," appears, with illustrations by Kdwin Ixrd Weeks and J. Lock wood Kipling. The short stories cover a wide range, and are sploudidly illustrated. In '.'The Chairman's Politics," Mr. Will Payue mingles love and pwlitics in tWijjhtful cocudy, LADIES' EOME JOURNAL. A glimpse of the luxury with which rich Americans surround themselves is given in the January issue of the Ladies' Home Journal, under the title "Housekeeping in a Millionaire's Family." If this issue of the Journal is a fair sam ple of what that popular magazine intends to give its readers in the new century its already wide field of usefulness will be greatly en hanced. Ooe of the striking fea tures of the Jantary Journal, "The Baltimore Belle Who Made the Most Brilliant Match of Any Girl in Americ a," recalls the fact that a Yankee "Queen" once sat on a Vico-Kegal throne in Ireland. Ed ward Bok has an article on "The Two Centuries and This Maga zine," giving a short review of the history of the Journal. There are also many other features that will prove useful and helpful to home makers. By The Curtis Publish ing Company, Philadelphia. Ona dollar a yeai ; ten ceuly a copy. WEATIIERWISE AND OTHERWISE A coo) snap arrived Saturday night and made a social call on Heppner. It first solidified the the few flies that were standing around with their bands under their coat-tails, and then xecuted some very artistic frost-work on the window panes, winding up by petrifying the outer garments of all cabbage-heads that bad refused to leave gardens and get into krout-barrels. It snowed some, and Sunday night some more, bringing the total to three inches, followed by a bright, sunshiny day. Tuesday a sort of a bogus Chinook blew briskly, but thawed not. Ther mom. jost below freezing. ' Wed. morn it thawed, but at night froze again. Thursday noon it is thawing ; overcast sky and snow mostly gone. WHEAT, WOOL AND STOCK. Portland, Jan. 1.

The Heppner market continues life less, with no buyers here. Frank Johnson is over at Payette receiving consignments, and will be in Heppner about tbe 10th. Judging by tbe remarks of Heppner growers, it will take 13 to 15 cents to move the 24 million pounds in ware houses here. In tbe opinion of J. H. McHaley, a brisk demand is liable to set in at any time now. He held his wool for three years, and finally told at 15 cents wool that for a long while be could have gotten only 6 cents for. While it was being held, Mr. Mc Ha ley's wool gained in weight enough to pay storage. , Wm. Penland has been notified that the last half of his big 1900 clip that he shipped to Boston on consignment has just been sold, but returns have not yet come, showing net price. In Boston sales have been very light during the past week, with same values. Mill men have very light 'stocks on band, but see no inducement to stock upas yet, and are simply buying as needed.
