The Heppner Gazette Thubsdat, Feb. 7, 1901 SENATORIAL. The struggle at Salem still goes on, with no change, at last ac counts. It is said that Senator McBride is to withdraw and give his strength to Ex-Senator Mitchell, and that if some Democratic votes can be added, the latter will be elected. If there was qne thing the Hepp ner Gazette shop needed more than anything else on earth it was a few cords of statistical slush from the census bureau showing the de tails of the population of that for eign colony, New Jersey. This long-felt want arrived by last night's mail, through the grace of our good government, and this morning furnished fodder for the office stove, burning not too freely on account of the heavy-weight paper. JIM'S MEMORY. "When Perry Eutherford was up irom uastle liock he said that the well-known Columbia river Indian, Blind Jim, was surprised to read in the Gazette that anyone should aouDC his story about seeing Uolumbus, or cause any suspicion to attach to his veracity. Jim told Perry he not only saw Columbus, but remembered his features and bis gripsack so well that he forthwith drew on the Band a map of lows: his coming, as fol- "While Queen Vic. was undoubt edly a good woman and an honor to her profession, it must have hurt her conscience awfully to be pulling down such a big salary for doing nothing, while so many thousands of her subjects right under her shadow in London were suffering in abjeot poverty and hunger. It was like Americans sending shiploads of treasure to foreign heathens, while many mouths in their large cities hun gered for bread and Bhivered for shelter. Through some mistake a few years ago the State of Washington went ahead and had a foundation laid for a state house. Now that the matter of removing the capital is being discussed, the friends of the present location say that if the capitol grounds are abandoned the state will also lose the foundation. Well, it'would be getting off cheap it it lost a dozen foundations and had its capital removed from such an out-of-the way place as pretty but isolated Olympia. Jim also told Perry that his uncle, who was also named Jim, was with DeSoto when the latter discovered the Mississippi, and afterwards brought in the seed and started the small band of an telope that still runs in Juniper. It is rather surprising to read of the Jfrince of Wales, Edward V two eyes, being such a fine busi ness man, and all that, as he is now made out to be. He must have suddenly shut down on sow ing -wild oats, for it is only a short time since he was being freely ad vertised as a rakish nest-hider who would not play a square game at gambling. If he has turned over a new leaf it is well, so that the British parent may hold him up as a model for growing boys. 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, soli your cyclone cellar and come here. POOR OLD LADY. England's gracious sovereign, the good Queen Vic, has at last been laid at rest, but in a place with such an awful name Frog morel Think of it! So suggestive of swamps and swales and being washed away. Think of the all-night croakings and the rest-disturbing "Knee- i -r ... aeepi iinee-aeepi you better go round I you better go round!" What rest can there be for any body laid away in a place with such a name? Better be buried in the dry, elevated cemetery of the Heppner Hills, where there are no frogs, where the meadow-larks sweetly sing in the glad springtime, the curlews whistle on the wing, and the beautiful blue lupine buds and blossoms and makes glad the landscape.'

There is semi-arid land near the Columbia that may be bought at 50 oents an acre; if irrigated it will produce good crops. BIG THING. , A well-known citizen of Hepp ner who is now at Salem with his senatorial lightniDg-rod flying in the breeze, was anked what, in case of success striking him, he would do for his home town, and replied: "If elected, a whole lot. I would get money from the government, dam Willow creek a few miles up, have a pleasure lake with picnio inlands and beer-gardens iu, it, and fish that will come to you when you call thorn. With the water precipitated over the dam I would turn huge turbine-wheels And gen. erate electricity enough to light and heat the county and run all the inaohinery, including the pro jected street-cars and the police court. Power would be so cheap that factories would come, and Heppiie'r would be the Lowel of Kantern Oregon," ' 1 VARMINTS. Large portions of Oregon are as yet but sparsely settled, which famishes ample area for breeding grounds of coyotes. Difficult and somewhat expensive though it may be, when the amount of direct loss sustained each year by their dep. redations is considered, it surely appears the part of wisdom that the present effort on the part o: the state to destroy the coyote should be continued. The aggre gate amount of loss sustained m Eastern Oregon annually is diftl cult to estimate; but it is the opin ion of people here long in the bus iness of raising stock that the loss in sheep alone from this source will amount to five per cent annu ally. Eastern Oregon, from the best estimates given us by its 15 stock inspectors, contains about one and three-quarter million head ot sheep, iive per cent of this number, rated at $2 per head, amounts to the snug sum of $175,- )W. Add to this the expense in curred in the way of extra help required on account of the coyote, and the annual loss from this pest to sheepmen alone, will easily reach !F2U0,U0U a year. JN either is it the sheep in dustry alone that suffers from the depredations of this pest. Many claim that the loss in poultry from this source will easily reach an amount equal to that sustained by the sheep industry. Nor does the coyote expense account cease with loss in sheep and poultry. The loss sustained in hogs alone is con siderable, and even cattle and horses come in for their share. It would appear from the best estimates obtainable that half a million dollars is lost each year by Eastern Oregon alone on account of the coyote. fPriueville Journal. MOTHER'S HOUR. Little figures robed in whi'e, Mello glow of candle-light. Little hands upraised in prayer, Roses sweet and lair.. All the work and play and fun For the happy day are done. Childhood sweet as dawn and flowers Drifts through many changeful hours, But one hour, the mother's own, Must belong to her alone. When she sees each sunny head Safe and cozy in its bed. Angels bend above the room, Where the dimpled darlings bloom In their lovely innocence, Warding every evil hence. From the little ones who dwell Where the mother guards them well God and she about them stand, They are safe on every hand. And each child, a tender flower, Blossoms in the mother's hour. M. E.

COAL OIL CANS. C. H. Forbuah writing down from his ranch up toward the mountains says : "I wiBh the newspapers of the coun try would get after the Standard Oil trust to put bettor bottoms in their coal oil cans. After using up the oil in those I buy and haul away out here from Heppner I use the cans for bring ing wator from the spring. They have always been very handy for that, but lately the bottoms of the cans rust out in no time, and I have to use to plug the holes all the rngs that I need for dishwashing ana Montana box. "I am free to acknowledge that coal oil used to cost me $2.50 a can in Hepp ner years ago, and now it is only $1.40. This shows a good work on the part of a benevolent monopoly, the oil trust, but I wish it would increase its aood work by putting better bottoms in its cans." There is no reason why Morrow rouu- ty oanuoi support twice its present imp utation, and for those who are willing to work, homes are here. The mnn with cash to invent would pictniblv rean aa rich returns from il here as eWwlir for lund values here ate the lowest on earth considering the production and protlts. THE MOUTH. borne several years ago L. W. Dar ling's little boy wrote a school compo' sition on The Mouth, and it was pub' lished in the Haystack Hen as follows Tba mouth is the front door of the face; it is the aperture of the cold-stor age of our anatomy. The mouth is the hot-bed of tooth-ache and the bunghole of oratory. The mouth is the crimson aisle to the liver; it is the fountain of patiiotism and the tool-chest for pie It is the grocer's friend, the orator' pride, the dentist's hope. It is temp' tation's lunch counter when attached to a maiden, and tobacco's friend when attached to a man. It puts some men on the rostrum and some in jail. It is the home of that unruly member, the tongue. Without it married life would be a summer dream and the dude would lose half his attractions. The John Day river has but 1 mouth, but some boys I know talk as though they had 2 ' POPULATION.

The way to avoid oatobing dandruff or snv othsr disease from another's brush, is to in sist on the use of Newbro's Hamioidn.
