The Heppner Gazette
Thuesday, Jan. 17, 1901
. Gov. Geer's message to the leg
islature is a very sensible docu
ment, and in it he makes many
valuable suggestions ih the inter
est of the whole state. He justly
advocates the payment of all scalp
bounty warrants, even though the
cash should have to come out of
the general fund.
The great training school and
Armour Institute at Chicago is
purely unsectarian,and is aa broad
and liberal in its scope as was
Armour in his own character. "Its
religion," said Armour, "will be
sixteen ounces to the pound, but
undenominational, and it makes no
difference to me whether its con
verts are baptized in a soup-bcwl,
a pond, or the river."
During the time that Senator
McBride has represented Oregon
he has done his full duty and has
looked after the State's interests
as well as any man could have
done. He deserves a re-election
on general principles, and the ex
perience he has gained will inure
to the benefit of the State. A call
for a Kepublican caucus next Mon
day night is beiDg freely signed,
and McBride should be the nom
inee. The Chinaman who was behead
ed for shooting Baron Von Kettler
was a soldier, and at the outbreak
of the Boxer troubles was sta
tioned in Hataman street, with
orders to shoot any foreigner who
tried to pass. The killing of von
Kettler was done in obedience to
these orders. It is admitted by
foreigners, including the present
German minister, that this soldier
would not have been executed in
a European country under similar
circumstances.
TALL TIMHEK.
Morrow county has a dozen
townships of mountain timber
lands that will some day yield im
mense incomes to lumbermen and
fuel dealers.
This timber is as yet practically
untouched and is almost entirely
on vacant land that may be taken
as homesteads or under the timber
and stone act at $2.50 an acre.
In Minnesota timber has become
valuable, and an acre whose pro
duct is estimated at 30,000 feet is
considered cheap if it can be bought
for $(5 per 1000 feet, or $180 au
acre. In Oregon government tim
ber lands are being 'scripped'
and obtained as low as $4 an aore,
while lands that sell at $8 an acre
are considered as bringing a good
price. Within the next few years
Oregon timber lands may advance
to Minnesota figures, as large mills
will be erected out here by saw
mill men who have become rich iu
the business back east, and thuB
know the value of good timber.
In the meatime, the railroads
will probably make rates that will
permit Oregon lumber to reach
the eastern states at a profit to the
manufacturers. A number of
wealthy firms in Minneapolis who
have become owners of Oregon
lands will bring their influence to
bear on the transcontinental rail
roads in such a way as to make
themselves heard, when the pur
chasers get ready to go to cutting
up the Oregon forests.
MEN WANTED.
What the "Uth century may
bring forth is now being fully dis
cussed, and people ponder over the
20th century man: they wonder
what he will do, and what he
ought to do. But most of all they
puzzle themselves over "What is
the greatest need of the 20th
century?"
The greatest need of the 20th
century will be men men who
"got there" men who do their
work as well as they can.
The modern phraBe, "get there,"
may b accepted as a slangy para
phrase lor "Whatsoever thy baud
lindeth to do, do it with all thy
might."
How many men do that? Every
boy has looked forward with proud
anticipation to the day when he
should be a man. To him a man
soems a god-like creature, master
ful, Btroug, many-banded, quick
witted, obeyed by women and
children and even by lesser men
Hut how often the thoughtful boy,
when he arrives at manhood, finds
that his beliefs were but visions;
that his idols have feet of clay
that the men around him are but
boys grown tall; that they have
the same propensity for dodging
duty.
The 20th century possibilities
open up a vast field for discussion,
and it will bring out more fully
the wonders of electricity; wireless
telegraphy and telephony; light
mug-like transportation by land
aud sea; air-ships and balloon car
riages. All of these will come, and
to operate them there will be need
of men and women oi nerve anu
daring and industry.

MAN TO BLAME.
When two trains collide, when
a washout ditches a train, when a
burned bridge wrecks a train,
when a steamship's shaft snaps in
twain, when a steamship's cylinder
head blows out, when a boiler ex
plodesthese are none of them
acts of God; there is always some
human agency at fault; it may be
the division superintendent; it
may be the track-iDspector; it may
be the inspector of steel; it may be
the steamship engineer but there
is always some man to blame.
There was a flaw in the steel of
the snapping shaft which should
not have passed in the foundry.
There was faulty working of the
piston when the cylinder-head blew
out which should have been de
tected by the trained ear of a care
ful engineer. There was neglect
in inspecting the water gauges of
the exploded boiler.' Out of the
long chapter of catastrophes to
machinery made by men, there are
always men to blame. ,
ALWAYS A WORKER.
People who for years have noticed the
untiring industry of Henry Heppner,
after whom this town is named, know
that with him it ia not a new habit.
His sister, Mrs. Buchholz, of Spring
field, Mass., now visiting here, says she
well remembers Henry as a boy before
lie left home, 51 years ago. He was
then eternally on the rustle, busy as a
bee from morn till night, always do
iDg something.
Henry Heppner has had ups and
downs, good times and bad, and has
had many a hard bed to lie on and at
times no bed at all, but through his
hardships and toil his industry has
reaped its reward. And well has he
earned it, for he pioneered all the way
up the coast from San Francitco and
Yreka and all over Eastern Oregon and
Idaho.

The ultimate cause: "But why is
it," asked the thoughtful Chinaman,
"that I may go to your heaven while I
may not go to your country?" The
American missionary shrugged his
shoulders. "There's no labor vote in
