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.' '

The homeliest man in Congress

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
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.

Ruler of the universe to call from this

Whereas, Brother Shobe has, by his

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

THE HAIR BRUSH.

sad Finally Baldness.
Prof. Unna, of Hambunr. Germany.
European Boinonty on skin diseases.
says thai dandruff is es contagious as
any other malevolent disease, sod that
one common souroe of the spread of
dandruff is the use of the same balr
brush by different persons. 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.
It not only kills the dandruff eerm. hut
it is also an antiseptio that will prevent
the oalchiog of aoy disease whatever
through oontagioii of another's brash.
