O, jpp, there are bad boys in
Heppner who get into all sorts of
scrapes. 1 his is no raradiee, and
you find them everywhere. But
most of them outgrow it by the
time there are any San Juan Hills
to storm.
Old Mount Hood. There are no
(lies at present on this peak. As
a general rule, when you are mo
sying along the water-courses ol
Morrow county you see only yom
immediate surroundings, fat stock
and luxuriant alfalfa fields. But
when aou travel up onto the high
er ridges you. get magnificent
views of both the Blue and Cascade
mountains, and can see 6 giant
peaks which are eternally covered
with snow and loom up from 9000
to 15,000 feet high. The loftiest
is Mount Tacoma, also called Mt.
Seattle, Mt. Rain-here and some
times Snow-here. On government
maps it was marked 14,444 miles
high, but Fred Plummer, Herbert
Bashford and Judge J. W. Hug
gins went hunting goats up there
and re-measured it and found it to
be even 15000. Judge Pillowsham,
of Tacoma, has proven by the affi
davits of all the Puyallup Indians,
who have roosted around on the in
steps of the great "iuouo tain for
7000 years, that its first name wat
Tacoma, and it would never have
been named anything else had not
a scow-load of Vancouver's British
bluejacket tenderfeet paddled
around Puget Sound a century ago
tacking their names onto every
thing in sight. They seemed to
suppose they were discoverers, al
though they paddled past Indian
graveyards where the marble rnon
ments were so old that they bad
rotted down.
But if those sailor-men wanted
magnificent mountain views seen
from the propfr distance of 100
miles or bo, they should have come
to the high spots of Morrow county

Nature
Babies and children need
proper food, rarely ever medi

on their food something is
wrong. They need a little

If you will put from one
fourth to half a teaspoonful

times a day you will soon see
a marked improvement. For
larger children, from half to
a teaspoonful, according to
age, dissolved in their milk,

soon show its great nourish

Hon. W. R. Ellis, Circuit Judge
of this district, is a pioneer resi
dent of Heppner, and for two
terms represented Oregon in congress.
OLD MAN RENINGER.
W. C. Reninger, who was one of
the pioneers of the Hennner Hilla.
and who left his home near Hard-
man a few years apo and went
back to his native village in Illi
nois, is not satisfied there, and
thinks of retuining to Morrow
county. In recently writing to a
friend he says:
"I found everything changed
here when I came back to end my
days among the friends of my
youin. JNew generations nave
grown up, and those of my early
playmates who are left are mostly
in their graves.
"When I returned here from the
Mexican war I played the fife at
the head of a company of strapping
young men. Now I find but two
of them here, and they are old,
infirmed men. It sadly seems that
the world has ran away from me.
It was not the home-coming I
thought it would be. The winters
here are long and cold, and the
summers are hot. The climate is
not near so good as that of East
ern Oregon, and the price of land
here is 20 times as high as in
Vlorrow county. I wish I had
stayed there instead of coming east.
"There is more real healthful
enjoyment iu one summer in the
Bine mountains of Oregon than
there is in Illinois in ten years.''
The noplouse in Action.
John Jacobs, of Big Blue, Kan
sas, writes to know if it would pay
to start a hop-ranch in Morrow
county. Well, it might. But aft
er it got to growing nicely Mrs.
Carrie Nation might come from
Kansas and throw brickbats at it
and smash it all np unless she was
given a guarantee that its fruit was
going into hop plasters and magic
yeast cakes instead of beer.
Hops would do well here if irri.
gated. Otherwise otherwise. The
past year they have been a fairly,
paying crop in the northwest at 12
to 14 cts a pound dried. A few
years ago many people were im
poverisbed raising hops near Pa
get Sound. In the rich soil of the
Puyallup valley hops bad bseu
yielding 2500 pounds to the acre,
with the price at 25 to 85c a
pound. Rev. Mr. Hanson publicly
prayed that a scourge might come
on the hop crop, and very soon the
hoplice came in riding the brake
beams. They ruined the industry
and ate op everything xcept the
mortgages that soon had to go cn
the ranches. When growers at
tempted to spray them the lice
would skip inside of the bop-bur
and then laugh at the folly of their
pursuers lo capture them.
Ezra Meeker, a very euterprising
and industrious hop-grower, went
broke in his old age, and invited
Rev. Hansen to return the IjtflOO
he had contributed to build Han
sen's church. But Mr. Meeker is
still whistling for his money.
This is history.

The Twentieth Century.
We now stand at the threshold of the
twentieth oeutury, and the nineteenth is
a thing of the past. It will, however,
always be known as the century of inven
tion and discovery, and smoug some of
the greatest ot these we can truthfully
mention Hostetter's Htomaoh Bittern, the
celebrated remedy for all ailments aris
ing from a disordered stomach, snob as
kyspepsia, indigestion, flatulency, oou
stipation, nervousness and biliousness.
It baa been one of the greatest bleselngs
to mankind during the prist fifty years as
health builder. Many prominent phy
sicians prescribe and reooniroent it.

WHERE IS Sl'ARXY.
Most of the pioneer settlers of
the Heppner Hills have reason to
remember Andrew Jaxon Sparks,
who was commissioner of the gen
eral laud ollice 15 years ago, dur
ing part of Pres. Cleveland's first
term.
Sparks caused settlers no end of
trouble and xpense, and threw
many obstacles in the way of their
securing title to their lands. Pio
neers who deserved every encour
agement iu founding homes were
hindered with all sorts of Tom.
fool red-tape regulations. Men
would travel 30 miles to make
final proof, and then old Bparx,
sitting in his easy chair at Wash,
ington, would cause them to travel
the whole journey over again to
xplain why they dared to leave
their land for some short time.
Sparx would pick Haws in the
formation of the moon, and in the
residence of the man who occu
pied it, and his iool rulings be
came so rank that the secretary
of the interior told Clevelaud that
either the secretary or Sparx
would have to get out. So Cleve
gave Sparx the invitation to get.
But what has become of the old
umbra? Ho seems to have fallen
into a prospect hole and tumbled
a cord of his own decisions in after
him.
Settlers on public lands hope
that they may never see his like
again.

KEEP UP YOUR JACKS.
Every land-owner in Eastern
Oregon has more or less jack rab
bits running on his range, and he
lets them stand out in all kinds of
weather and run races with coyotes
when they should be sitting still
and laying on fat. Instead of
drinking wholesome coffee they
absorb sage tea, and generally do
as they please without regard to
results on their meat.
The Pacific Northwest Las a
bushel of money wrapped up in
Kelgian hares that might just as
well be iu native jackrabbits.
The hare yields fine meat, for
the reason that it is cared for and
properly fed. That is the secret
of the whole business. If the
native jacks w're as well cared for
they would yield a good food,
and would keep at home many $ $
that have been sent to Belgium.
