The enterprise shown by the
Heppner Railroad & Coal Com
pany is certainly very creditable.
For the opening of the Morrow
county coal lielda, Messrs. Geo.
Conser, D. A. Ilerren and C. E.
Redfield are entitled to great cred
it. That there wad some local
.....v.o .o..3i- i-cvp,! is onlv char
acteristic of human nature. This
company will be .rewarded with
success. One of the ablest coal
experts in the country makes no
secret of saying: "I know the
coal is there and we will show it."
The Heppner Railroad & Coal
Company has already expended in
the neighborhood of $30,000, and
the mo3t of this has gone into the
rhpnnels of trade of Morrow
county. The active development
work is already helping Morrow
coucty business interests.
During the three years of its
rontinuance. the war in soutn
Africa resulted in the killing from
wounds and disease of 22,000
British soldiers. During the same
three years the railways of the
United States, engaged in peace-
pursuits, killed people.

mission, which presents these
startling figures, further testifies
while piling up this record
railways were not managed
anv greater disregard to
pafety than in previous years. In
the same line, is the report of H.
A. Walker, who was sent out by
the London and North-Western
Railway to determine whether the
American railway system bad any
features that British railways
might profitably adopt. In speak
ing of the safety of employees and
passengers, he says: ''Human life
seems to be considered of much
less imnortance there than here,
and I am of opinion that, in this!

reepect, the British railway oth
ciala have nothing to learn from
their Amuican confreres.''

In the state canvasses the Re
publicans made a very encourag
ing showing in the voting Tues
day. They carried New York,
Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Con
necticut, Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin,
South Dakota, and all the other
states which they bad any expec
tations of winning. The Demo
crats caried all the states in the
South which voted for state offi
cers and held nearly all the con
gressmen. The Republicans were
not looking for any gains iu the
South, made none and did not at
tempt to make any. The genera
result in the state canvasJeS, like
that on Congress, is very pleasing
to the Republicans. They did

leaders expected. Ovei confidence
hampered them in some states.
The apathy which the Republican
prosperity throughout the country
induced also impeded them in
many localities. They won enough
states, however, to show tnat uie
country stands with the Republi
can party by a good sized majority.
OUR NATIONAL PROSPERITY.
The anuual report of the Treas
urer of the United States is a great
showing of our material prosperity.
The report of the Treasurer does
not, like the report of the Secretary
of the Treasury, deal specially
with the fiscal policies of the Na
tion. It merely tells what money
has been taken in and paid out and
its sources, with a description of
the forms of the currency handled.
The Treasury during the last fiscal
year received the enormous sum of
$1,062,124,037 and disbursed $000,
027,031. The available cash bal
ance at the close of the fiscal year
was $3G2.187,3G1. In spite of our
substantial protective duties, the
increase of receipts from the cus
toms was 815,859,252 and the de
crease of internal revenue receipts
of $25,207,101 was much mre than
made good by a decrease in expen
