The Heppner Gazette Issued Thursday MornhiR. Warnock fc Michell. Entered fit the Fostoflice at Heppner Oregon, as gocoud-eliiss matter. . Thursday, Nov. 0, 1902 A hard winter is predicted in Oregon this season by the weather prophets, Morrow county stock men are well fixed for it. Tresident Roosevelt has issued his proclamation designating Thursday, November 27, as a day of Thanksgiving. Truly, we have much to be thankful for. The leading wheat counties of Oregon are Umatilla with a yield of 2,S00,000 bushels; Sherman, 2,000,000 bushels; Morrow, 1,250 000 bushels and Union with a yield of 1000 bushels. Of the fifteen principal wheat producing counties of the state, Morrow stands third. In the new Chinese tariff sched ule, flour, cereals and railroad ma terial are admitted freo of all duty. This announcement will be looked to with great interest by the peo ple of the Pacific states. It means a better market for our cereals and flour. By this extension of de- mand for our products, it means the development of a great country that is handicapped by isolation from market. Our soil, our cli mate, and natural advantages are great, but we need a better mar ket. The opening of China to the Northwest trade will help. A new era is dawning for East ern Oregon, an era of prosperity, of improvement and of settlement. Its vast areas now used for pastur age are being located by the home seeker, and the big ranges will soon be a thing of the past. Port land Journal. Eastern Oregon's greatness is just beginning to be realized by the outside world. The Inlane Empire certainly has a bright future. The great Inland Empire will be called upon to help supply China with flour and cereals, for the re moval of the dutv from these pro ducts by China will stimulatetlris trade. This brings to mind more plainly the great barrier to trans portation, the obstructions in the Col umber river. The difficulty in getting our products to the sea board is retarding the development of a very rich country. During the fiscal year which ended June 30, 1902, there were more public lands entered and dis posed of in Oregon than in any state west of the Rocky Mountains, and more lands than have hereto fore been entered in Oregon in any fiscal year, save that of 189G. The aggregate area disposed of under the homestead, timber and various other land laws, during the past year was 1,297,032 acres, as against 1,2G1,5G7 acres in Washington, and 071,327 in Idaho, California disposing of but 656,400 acres. Just now the United States is suffering from a car famine. The railroads are unable to furnish cars to supply the great demand for transportation. An enormous crop is being moved and thousands of cars are needed to transport an thracite coal to the cities which are out of fuel caused by the strike of the coal miners. These condi tions coupled with a prosperous nation, have caused such a demand for cars that the railroad compan ies are away behind in furnishing transportation which is now being urged. The New York Evening Post has been sending out a list of questions to university teachers in the United States to get opinions in relation to the appointment of a tariff commission to prepare changes of the tariff for the con sideration of Congress. To this question there is a great diversity of pinion among the leading teachers and scholars. The op ponents of such a commission claim that it would be a compli cated and befuddling proposition without result, believing in the judgement of Congress to handle this queition properly. The advo cates of the appointment of ft cem. mission are in the majority. They favor the proposition not only for the direct influence that the ac tion of the commission would have on legislation but for the general dissemination of information that would result from the investigation by a commission. The appointment of a perma nent taiiff commission is talked of and it is said that President Roose velt will in his message to Con gress in December, advocate the appointment of a permanent com mission. This commission will be made up from experts in this line who will carefully weigh the dif ferent tariff schedules and report as to their findings with a view to the scientific and equitable adjustment of this grrat iesue now before the American people, Anthracite coal will probably be one of the first articles to be considered from which the tariff will be removed. The great difference in domestic policy between the United States and England is apparent just now from the support that Mr. Balfour's education bill is receiving at the hands of the British Parliament. Mr. Balfour's measuro proposes a radical change in the elementary school system of the United Kingdom. Should this bill become a law a parochial or private school system would be established at the expense of the people to the detri ment of the public school system which hau been in force for the past thirty years. One of the strongest champions of this bill is the church of England. Chamberlain will support the bill for political reasons only. Formerly he was very much opposed to enforcing public suppert to private and de nominational schools. The main opposition in England comes from the people who believe in the per manent separation of church and state. The advocates of such a measure in the United States would be considered fit subjects for the insane asylum. Such a system would be dangerous to the institutions that have made Amer ica great Notwithstanding the extent to which he has been maligned with in the ranks of his own party, ex President Cleveland is still re garded as a political oracle by a large number of democrats. His latest utterance takes the form of an interview on the democratic outlook. He discerns a great op portunity for the democratic party, if there is "a constant and stal wart insistence upon the things which are recognized by all to be true democratic doctrines," and the most important of these he distinguishes as tariff reform. lie says: "It is my clear conviction that the best assurance of success for the democracy in the next na tional campaign will be found in a sincere and unremitting insist ence upon its oldtime doctrine of a fair and beneficient tariff adjust ment" The danger he points out is that the Republican party will appropriate the tariff reform issue, which he claims is democratic ground, just &s "they crowded the latter from the ground they occu- 44 44 BOY9 OIvOiriEHIO- Boys' 3 piece suit, In grey mixed, bouble breasted vest.ages 4 to 10.. $2 00 Boys' dark grey, sailor collar, two piece 2 50 Bovs' blue,white stripe, three piece suit 2 50 Boys' 3 piece suit, grey striped 3 00 Boys' grey mixed 2 piece, sailor collar.... 3 50 Boys' Russian blouse suit, extra quality,blue mixed, ages 3 and 4.. 4 50 Boys' 3 piece suit, single breasted vest, dark, light stripe, all wool.. $5 00 Boys' vestee suit, Norfolk jacket, blue serge, splendid value 5 50 Boys, 3 piece, single breasted vest, heavy, dark, all wool goods 6 00 Boys' all wool three piece, fancy double 'breasted vest, velvet col lar, silk lapel facings G 50 Boys' brown mixed, all wool, three piece suit, fancy double breasted vest, silk facing 7 00 MINOR & CO.

Tariff for revenue only was put in practice once un der Cleveland, and proved to mean free raw materials, with protection to manufacturers. It failed to satisfy the country, and was re pudiated. Is he now trying to crowd upon republican ground, where tariff reform means a re adjustment of rates on manu factures which no longer need it? If the tariff is to be reformed, why not leave the work to its friends?
