The Heppner Gazette Warnock Michell. Entered t the Postoffics t Heppner Oregon, m lecond-clut muter. Thursday, Oct. 23, 1902 The third annual reunion of the Id folks and pioneers in Heppner eclipsed all toraer meeting The people of Heppner hare dem onatrated the fact that they know how to entertain. Indication! are that Heppner people will be burning Morrow county coal within the next few weeks. Plenty of coal is now beinz taken out and will be readv for hauling as soon as it can be serted. The highest memership of the Grand Army of the Republic was 409,489, in 1890. The number o members now is 262,745, showing an average annual loss of 14,574, and this average will mcrease rapidly. It will not be many years until the old boys in blue will have answered to the last roll call starve these men into submission for the hearts of the people throbbed in sympathy with them and were willing to help float the ur of justice. This feeling extended even to Germany and France where foreigners contrib uted to the welfare of the strikers. President Mitchell has provsn himself a great man. No other one man has shown the power over abor tmmnixations. In their president, the unions had the grttoteaft'confidence, and his hon esty of purpose and keen juag- nrtfrft feas led them to victory, in tbewettlement of the strike, Pres ident Roosevelt has won the es teem and admiration ef every la- Wing man in the United States. BOYS9 OIEO'TJHnt o I The bulk of the wheat crop in Oregon, Washington and Idaho, has been sold. It is estimated that 75 per cent of the crop is now out of first hands. Farmers have sold earlier this season than for five years. Good prices have stim ulated wheat movements. As a rule early selling brings satisfac tory results. Farmers of the Northwest have been fortunate with good crops and good prioes. Secretary Root has authorzed the chief of Engineers to convert the army transport Grant into a sea dredge for use at the bar at the entrance ef the Columbia river. The channel will be scoured to a depth of 30 feet to be gin with. The cost of fitting up the dredge will be taken from the fund appropriated for improving the momth of the Columbia. Any improvement of this great water way will be looked to with interest by the great Inland Empire. The great werk of opening the Colum bia river will some day be accom plished and a grand country frill be developed. According U the Oregonian the eutpmt of the products of the state this season will be more tnaa ever known before in the histoiy of Oresoa. Thevalmeof nine of the leading products for the year will feet up in the aggregate $44,000,- mn tain? an average of about $100 for every nan woman and child taking the last census aa a basis. No other state in the union make suoh a showing. The lumber industry leads the list with an output valued at $10,000,000. Livestock is next in line with an outout of $9,000,000. The grain crop is a close third and is worth $8,750,000. Other preducts are r valned as follows: Minerals $5,000,00: hops $3,500,000; fish, $2,000,000, wool, $2,800,000; fruit, $1,500,000; dairy products, $160, 500,000. The above figures are prrativft estimates, based on actual business as handled to date. It is unneccessary to say that Ore gon is enjoying an era of prosper ity. The great coal strike is over and will go on record as one of the his toric events in the annals of or ganised labor. For over five months thousands of honest, hard working and poorly paid men have been struggling for recognition o rights. In a measure they have won and there is rejoicing not only in this country, but all over 'the world. The operators could no The Dalles Times-Mountaineer complains about the fact that that Hood River apples are selling for $1.20 per box, while The Dalles apples of the same quality are bringing only 65 cents per box. This is only another proof ef the benefits to be derived from organ- niaation. The Hood River fruit growers are thoroughly organized and their union is in a position to make a study ef preparing and marketing their products. The same can be said of the woolgrow ers, and in the Waldo hills in Marion county, the farmers have an organization in which they pool their grain and have realized a few cents per bushel more for their grain than thier neighbors outside of the organization. The people generally engaged in the great business of agriculture, which overshadows every other line of industry and is the founda tion on which the country rests have little or no organization. The Hood River fruit growers have pushed their business by advertising whieh has also been a great factor in furthering their in terests. Hood River growers are enterprising and they will continue to get the top price. !
