    The Heppner Gazette
Thursday, Jan. 31, 1901
Entered at the only U. 8. Fostoflice in Heppner
as second-hand matter.
HERE IT IS.
For tbe past 75 or 30 weeks
many citizens of Morrow county
have been saving that what was
needed was an illustrated paper
to picture this region and some of
its people as they actually are, and
that such a paper sent to the middle
west would result in bringing
many people here, doubling the
population and increasing the val
ue of lands by creating a new de
mand for them. It looks like a
good proposition, in the interest
of all.
Well, the Gazette this week
tries to fill the long-felt want. It
shows by pictures from actual
photos just how people and homes
and stores and ranches and stock
look here, gives the price of lands,
etc. It is a pretty expensive edi
tion, but it hopes to benefit Mor
row county many times more than
its cost.
THE MAN WHO MOVES.
People in the east and middle
west who are otherwise very in
telligent, seem to have very crude
ideas as to the Tacific Northwest,
and in writing here for informa
tion they aBk some questions that
seem supremely silly.
A man in Illinois writes to the
Heppner Gazette for information,
and in the course of his long letter
asks:
Is there much sickness out there?
How does the climate compare
with ours here?
Would you advise me to move
to Oregon?
In answer the Gazet would say
that like every place else on earth
there is some sickness here, com
prising stomach-ache from over
eating, and an occasional trace of
jimjams from over-drinking, also
some scattering cases of Filipino
itch. But Morrow county has no
fever-nager or such, and the cli
mate is generally healthful.
As to how the climate compares
with yours, you forgot to enclose
along a bottle of yours for analysis,
so no fair comparison can be made.
Still, it is safe to say that Oregon's
climate is hotter than that of Illi
nois. As to advising you to move, we
wouldn't advise you at all. If you
come you will lind good land at
low prices, but you will have to
take chances same as other people,
and are as liable to have a brick
chimney fall on you here as else
where. When Mr. Crooks, the indomita
ble lewler of the Astor overland
party, conducted his men through
hastem Oregon nearly IUU years
iiiro, they all nearly starved. But
now this is a laud of plenty, and
no one need starve who will work,
GRAINS AND GRASSES.
Outside of starting alfalfa fields
along the bottoms, very little has
been done here to improve the nat
ural grasses.
But now Col.
R. C. Judson,
whose map you
see hanging
over yonder,
is carrying on
xperiments
with many new
grasses to see
which will yield
best in Eastern Oregon. He is the
head of the 0. II. & N. Industiial
Department, which is specially es
tablished to make moie productive
the territory tributary to that rail
road company s system
Uol. Judson lias a new species
of alfalfa to grow all the year with
out irrigation, and when it gets to
crowing over the Heppner Hills
Morrow county will raise 20 head
of stock where it does 1 now. He
is also introducing new varieties of
wheat which will increase the yield
and mature earlier than the kinds
now used, which sometimes shrivel
in hot winds which occasionally
visit Eastern Oregon on stated
dates and catch some of the wheat
in the dough. Two weeks' earlier
maturing will cure this,
Col. Judson was a bugler boy in
a Minnesota regiment during the
civil war, but quit blowing as soon
as mustered out. He states only
plain facts about Eastern Oregon,
and, backed up by President Moh-
er and Uol. Crooks, he is doing
great work in the development of
the Pacilic Northwest,
Morrow county is well managed,
and is practically out ol debt
Her warrants are worth their face
and only cost (5 per cent, interest
Tliey are being wiped up, and
thoHo out only amount to about
$13,000.
Morrow county has room for
workers, but none for drones. It
can support double its present pop
ulation. If you are in the middle
west, sell your cyclono collar and
come hero.
There is vacant government land
in Morrow county plateau, foot
hill and mountain timbered land
There is semi-arid land near the
Columbia that may be bought at
AO cents an acre; if irrigated it will
produce good crops.
J'OR FRUIT.
Morrow county is a very fair
fruit country, and can always raise
enough for its own use. borne,
times spring sunshine starts tbe
sap in Feb , aud then if a short
cold snap comes later, most of the
fruit buds are killed for that year,
Otherwise otherwise.
There are nuite a few orchards
here, and this season they fed toim
ol their apples to the hogs.
IT MOVED IT.
The beginning of the last century
fourd Moirow county without a rag to
its buck. The heiiimiiiiK of the preHoti
century liniU it with u good wardrobe
mid a ftii r stint to wind making a nice
little county. So there has been pro
urens. hut notiiintr like what in suio to
come.
TREASURY RAIDERS.
The State pi me warden m niun
Hhoutiiitf for more money and citinti
pofulouH States as making larger at
uroiiriatioiiH.
Really the thing for Oregon to do is
to advertise an amnuMy proclamation
and have all its wild game como m froii
the mountains and camp at the Norma
schools anil fiatctni.e with thy pupils
and hoard at the Portland Hotel in view
of foreign tourists, and linger in Port
land's lucltv citv park, then the wil
L'iiiiu' would he doing some rood in the
world, instead ol eating up good grans
needed for sheep; the people could then
see its wild game, and its keep would
cost less than the sums now spent it its
name, from which it gets no feud.
jIiiun are not had here, but they cost
the State a f an ounce iu having their
pictures taken and rules sent out an to
how to sit down on them.
POETS ARE HERE.
An Indiana man writes and asks if
the Northwest has poets. Yes, it has
some who write with much better jingle
than Jas. Honeycomb Riley. Here is
the home of poetry. Walkeen Miller
soared from here, and Herbert Bash
ford is going to be his successor in be
ing near to nature.
Sam Simpson was an Oregon poet and
wrote this :
From the Cascade'! frozen gorges,
Leaping like a child at play,
Winding, widening through the valley
Bright Willamette glides away.
Onward ever,
Lovely river,
Softly calling to the sea;
Time that scars us,
Malms and mars us,
Leaves no track or trench on theo.
Sam was heayy on water, but rarely
drank any.
)iok Neville, of Heppner. is quite a
poet, and in author of J he Cowbell
Must Not Wring Tonite, Hltlio that fine
poem lias been claimed ny ouiers.
Among the most promising poets of
Oregon is
to

Jim
out-
INDIANS.
People who are threatening
come here want to know if
is any danger from Indiaus.
No, not low.
There are Indians here,
they are picturesque vags
tramps on hossback. blind
and Columbia Jo9 have little
fits of about 100 souls who winter
in wickeups aloDg the Columbia
and often camp, near Heppner on
their way to and fiom tbe moun
tains to dig camas and hunt. The
bother nobody, and have always
supported themselves and spurner
ollert. of free rat ons on reserva
tions. Blind Jim says his people
have always been free since thej
came here from Japan, and that he
well remembers seeing Columbus
trainpioe up the Columbia with a
gripsack to see about building a
boat railway, haviDg left his ships
at Celilo. Jim is a picturesque
prevaricator.
This is the way that Old Man
Breeding and Dock Shobe had to
do when they first struck the coun-
fry-
A dozen or 15 years ngo settlers
in Eastern Oregon used to have
xperiences like that above. Peo
ple had to chalk out their trails
and swim rivers and ford kricks.
Now the bulk of tbe public pio
neering has been done; streams
have been bridged and roads built,
and the rough spots have been
smoothed down, and you see people
pleasure-riding like thifB"
War-Map of Cutmouth John.
He was a Umatilla warrior who
for years acted as scout and guide
for soldiers in their campaigns
against hostiles. In the Indian
wars of 22 years ago Heppner peo
ple forted up, but no hostiles came
within 25 miles. 40 miles east of
here, in '78, the gallant old First
Cavalry, under Oen. O. O. Howard
and Col. C. E. S. Wood, defeated
four times their number of Snake
Indians and droye them out of
what ought to have been an im
pregnable position in the rimrox
at the head of Bear Fork of liirch
krick. But the Indian question is
settled heie.
It was a mistake to send T. A. Wood
back to Washington in the interest of
the Indian War veteran business. He
is a bogus veteran, and lias tbe repu
tation of being a bilk.
Everybody at all points of the com
pass get ready to attend the great Ex
position in Portland in 1905. It will be
a gigantic enterprise, and
As I came to camp one evening,
I found a smiling stranger there;
was lonely and gladly bade him
welcome to my humble tare.
He had been walking all day long
And for several days belore,
And had parted with his last cent
Some time ere he'd readied my cmor
Work now hunting, nothing more.
Whilst I busied myself cooking
Extra elapjax for ub two,
He related his adventures
And tbe troubles he'd been tlirougn :
Once was rich in California,
Farming bv that golden shore ;
But the drouths and Chinese labor
Had driven him to my door
Drouths and Chinese, nothing more.
Stranger," quoth I, "you'd better stay
here
Amonest our bunchgrass hills I ween,
Where drouths will not affect you
And Chinese are seldom Heen.
You might wander all your lifetima
And not increase your store :
But if you settle you may some day
DiaUU UpOU VUUI piUB Uliro mu'o,
Sighed he": "Settle ! Nevermore !"
On next morning, much in sorrow,
I bade good luck to my friend
tramo.
But he returned while I was absent,
And stole every blanket in the camp!
So I was wrong when I advised him
To settle down and tramp no n ore ;
For if he keeps on robbing sheep-camps
He'll no doubt increase his store
I now have a padlock on my door.

Jim Jaxon Montague,
Of Tho Oicgonian stall'. Ho is a
bright young mini, am! part of one of
his poems runs like this :

Filling tbe hky and earth below !
Over the housetops, over t ho street,
Over the heads of the people you meet.
Jim Montague has undoubtedly a
brilliant future, for ho has as yet barely
tapped his barrel, and has wasted many
golden moments training flulhlogs to
pack stove wood up from the basement.
Jim's poem on The Wind was pro
nounced by Longfellow a classic. The
inspiration for it was imbibed while Jim
sat away up in tho tall tower of The Or
egonian building, smoking I mperfectos
and watching the baked beans growing
down on Boston Common and hearing
the breezes shriek through the shrouds
of the boys' boats bowling over the ad
jacent frog-pond.
This is history,
The John Day country, south from
Heppner, is a rugged region aud a tireat
Braising country, beside being seamed
with precious metals. It was named
alter John Dav, the faimnis KeimicU
hunter who crossed the plains with tho
Astor party nearly a century ago.

MEN WHO TRAVELED.
Heppner must have a pretty fair
climate when men who have traveled
all over the world aio content to settle
down here.
There is Martin Anderson; as ahoy
he was a California '4!t'er; then he went
to Australia and dropped into India in
time to join the volunteers in lighting
through the Sepov war, and got sun-
struck ; ho went to Africa and mined in
South America, and after being every
where set fed down at Andersonville
near the Heppner court house.
Billy (iordon is a 1 leppner business
man who went around the world in the
navy, then ran stages in Idaho when it
was a wild frontier region.
Felix Johnson was all through the
Mclican war, and John Zollinger fought
Apaches all over Arizona with (ien
Crook.
WONOERITL WOMAN.
On the cover of McClure's Magazine
tor February is a woman rigged out in
t tit 1 1 century clothes. I he thumb-toe
aud its next neighbor on her right foot
have strained relations and are drifting
apart so as to drive a horse and cart
between ; she has a sprouting onion in
either a spittoon or a Boston baked
bean crock, and its bar k has been set
atiro by some one th'owiug a cigarette
stump at it tor lurk ; t!.e woman is
warmihi! her bands in the smoke ; she
must have been using cold cream ; she
will soon git round shouldered in that
position and need a chest x pander.
The Hiimke looks like the signal-
smokes that tho lud.iin Columbia Joe
used to put up on Ma'teson mountain
." veais ago so that Blind Jim, 7d miles
away, could see them and know that
thecam.ts was ripe up on Butcher-Bill
prairie, ten miles blither away.

much better than planting a class tree
one year and letting it die the next.
Arch looks like the one bunt by uen
Jaxon in honor of Imp. Ciesar when lie
was re-elected to congress and returned
to Washington after conquering Kome
Also looks like the artistic entrance the
ioet Longfellow used to have on hi
woodshed.
Little Paloma Skram has been getting
a apiece out of audiences in Portland
and a few years aizo tbe child could play
the piano no better than some otme

on Heppner households.

How is that for an Italian sunset?"

There are at present in Morrow coun
ty 2G3.535 head ol sueep, anu w. a.
fi'rnwnrth. who has been running
sheep here for 23 years says that sheep
pay an annual &U per cent, net pronv uu

been doing that for the past three years,
but that tor 5 years previous 10 inai,
free trade days, sheep paid practically
nothing, and many men ran behind.
Sheep are herded nere in average
bands of 2000 head, and herders get
Hn average of $30 a month and board.
It is a lonely hie.

ACTIVE YOUNG MEN.
The store of Matlock & Hart has had
recent renovation and immense im

added on the lower floor, and the active
young proprietors show all symptoms
of keeping up with the prooession.
Home-seekers with means, and invest'

BIG BLOVVHARD.
Considering its caliber, the Heppner
Hard Times is one of tbe biggest blow
hards in 7 states. It is one of tbe prov
incea of a newspaper to puncture the
tires of statements made to mislead.
The Times has been trying to make
people believe that it has recently
bought some very valuable machinery.
Fact is it got an old power-press that
went out of date in California many
years ago; then tramped into Oregon
and after some years' work blew into
the Pendleton E..O. office; it soon be
came such a penk outfit that Gen Jaxon
threw it out and tbe Tribune got it;
there it finished wearing itself out, and
was finally dragged over to Heppner,
where it has struck a soft job, about
the same as a worn-out horse turned
ir.to pasture for the good h has done;
for tbe small edition the Times has to
print on it need not worry its old buggy
soring or the man who turns the crank.
The Times has ben blowing abont a
larg0 job press recently received ; it is
reallv an old rattle-trap that has
knocked around Oregon until it belongs
on tbe junk-pile. It first came to Hepp
ner as a second-hand 17 years ago,
and for a long time has been laid aside
as a wreck at lone.
This old bone-yard machinery is fine
stuff to blow about and make Heppner
its dumping off place. The Times makes
a ereat blow about its job-work, but
never describes the fine catalogue it
failed to print for Mr. Whiteis. It has
turned out work that would be a dis
erace to a blacksmith shop, and if it
has a paper-cutter big enough to chop
a solt corn on a man s imho we, ins
time it had, for it dead-headed the use
of the Gazet's paper-cutter all too long
But it is fitting that a Jack-Mormon
paper like the flippity-floppity Times
with its politix for sale to anybody
should trv to oarry the creek on both
shoulders and be a blowhard.
Tex Croft used to be the boss blow
man around here, but his gas had the
redeeming feature of being interesting
?5 REWARD.

on Butter creek, a blue sheep dog. De'
scription short and chunky, bob tail,
little white spot in one eye. Will pay
$5 reward to any person bringing him
there, or any information leading to his
recovery. V, W. Uhafman,
Vinson, Ore
A GOOD MAN, TUU.
Geo. T. Angel, of Boston and tbe U.
S., is doing a good work for humanity
through his paper, Our Dumb Animals,
which include mules, although they
have their say. At showing up the
horrors of war Mr. Angel is a true war
rior, and the change that has com over
him in this respect shows how the
world progresses in the cause of humanity.
You would not tninK inai mis wag
the same Geo. Angel who used to be a
dare-devil cannoneer in Baxter's Battery
when it daBhed out over the cohtiie-
stones ot Boston's suburbs, every piece
on tbe jump and spare wheats riKosnay
ing over the ka-sonns.
You would not think this was the
same Angel who nsed to march down
State street in the iront rami oi inn
Ancient and Honorable Artillery and
sit down at the big banquet ot warriors
in Fanuel hall, the old cradle of liberty
over the butcher-shop. ...
ATr. Anpel mav contradict this, nut it
will have a 10 day start on him b4 he
can catch up with it.
May heaven bless tne goou worn you
are engaged in, Mr. Angel, ana speea
the day when tne norrors oi war win
be abolished.
TEACHING.
J. W. Shipley, county superintendent
of schools, says that teachers' wages in
Morrow county average about $40 a
month, and there are 43 districts and 60
teachers. In Heppner tbe principal
gets $1000 for 9 months' school; at
Lexington $600 for 8 months; at lone
$495; at Hard man $400.
SAD DEATH.
Heppner people were very much grieved and
shocked to learn of the death at St. Vincent's
hospital, Portland, on the 25th, of Constance
Hughes, the bright little daughter of Wm.
Hughes. She was W4 years old. She was
taken there last week for an operation for ap
pendicitis. The funeral services occurred Sun
day at the Heppner Episcopal church, which
was crowded with her former schoolmates.
Her parents are on a visit to Europe, and know
nothing of their little daughter's death.
Washington State Is now threatening to build
a monument to volunteers it allowed while at
Vancouver to go hungry and ragged and do all
sorts of menial drudgery.
HOSTILES WERE IN FLOWER.
Gen. L. P. Bradley, one of the most
estimable of meo, must not thi' k be
cause he is in retirement that the fron
tier has forgotten him.
Around the stove of Heppner's Palace
Hotel thee eveninns Ins name is often
mentioned by Pat Qnaid in connection
with stirring scenes on the frontier.
Pat was all through the wild Rocky
mountain region when Indians were
bad, and w ith another prospector blew
into Fort C. F. Smith, and tbe hostiles
were so thick that Gen. Bradley made
them stav there until the main war
parties bad moved off, and thus saved
their scalps. While young and ven
turesome, Pat went through many bad
places, and now realizes that lien
Bradlev kept him above ground.
The General was all through the civil
war In an Illinois legiment, then went
with the regulars end fought Indians
for years. The Sioux had great respect
for him. He was retired 16 years ago,
snd built his home on R-eves Avres'
Prospect Hill. Tacoma, where he has a
very tine water-view.
