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

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.

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.
