stances one night last week. Messrs.
Ka i hart and Bryerly were away at the
time and the saloon was left in charge
of the bartenders. One of the bar
tenders locked the safe Thursday night
and was taken very sick. The next day
Mr. Earhart was sent for and he got
back to lone Saturday. He opened the
safe and found it empty. The combi
nation had been worked and the safe
was locked after the money had been
taken. Nothing about the building was
disturbed. Entrance was gained by
unlocking the front door. Between
$850 and $900 was taken. No clew to
the thieves.
Heppner Wol Ulen Active.
Heppner it going to make an effort to
handle the wool clip of this section for
'03. We eee every reason for and
none against their being success
ful 'as there are at least 20 bands of
sheep here that are closer to Heppner
.by 25 miles than - they are to Shaniko,
and the wool can be hauled to the
former place for much less than the
latter.
Close observation shows that wool
has brought more in Heppner this year
than in Shaniko. As the difference is a
direct loss to the sheepmen, and the
trade is valuable to Heppner, we wel
come the efforts of its business men to
bring about this much needed change
which will come unless Shaniko, by
making advances early in the season,
secures the clip. Spray Courier.

The members of tbe company are well

The company controls about 2500
acres of land. The location of their
holdings is about 18 miles southeast of
Heppner and takes in the old Matteson
coal mine which has been abandoned
for several years.
Tbe Mattesoa property has a history
and is remembered by the older resi
dents of Merrow county. This mine
was vigorously worked by Matteson
brothers about 18 years ago. A tunael
was blasted in the solid rock fir a dis
tance of 1100 feet.
Coal was taken out at that time
which was used in Heppner, but owing
to crude appliances for mining and a
lack of capital, the enterprise was
finally abandoned.
The recent rich coal discoveries in
the Willow creek batin has g.ven an
impetus to mining in Morrow county.
In fact there is a coal fewr which is!
greatly stisr.ul.itfl bv the rat demand I
