The Heppner Gazette Issued Thursday Morning. Warnock te Michell. Entered at the PostofTiee at Heppner Oregon, as second-class matter. Thursday May 21,1903 NEED A COMMERCIAL I Z ATI ON. ORGAN- George W. Wells who recently visited Spokane and Portland where be saw what people indif ferent portions of the Northwest are doing to induce immigration and build up the country, comes back to Heppner with a full realiza tion of the need of some kind of an organization to help build up this town by getting more people here. At least Mr. Wells saw and realized how little Morrow county is doing when he visited the office of the Oregon Information Bureau at the Union depot in Portland. The Oregon Information Bureau is an organization of the leading business men of Portland, and the object of the association is simply to impress the thousands of home seekers that are now coming west with the advantages and re sources of the great state of Ore gon. The association is trying to get these people to stop some where in Oregon. No fee or com pensation is asked, nor is any par ticular locality in the state given preference. The business men of Portland feel that in building up the state of Oregon, Portland cannot help but get sdme benefit. Almost every county in the state is well supplied with literature showing up all the advantages and resources. Mr. Wells spent the greater por tion of a day looking over the ex hibits made by the different coun ties, but when he asked about Morrow county, all that could be found was three short clippings trom the Evening Telegram in re lation to the Willow creek coal mines. This was absolutely all. Is there anything strange about the fact that homeseekers pass by. Morrow county people expect Heppner to take the initiative in this matter. If Morrow county grows, Heppner will grow with it, but it should be remembered that Morrow connty can grow without Heppner. It is about time to wake up. the wonderful success of the Hloan is evidence of the enormous amount 1 1 pi tal in the world seeking an investment which is regarded as absolutely secure. It shows the confidence which mankind enter tains in the stability of the British Government. And yet there is evidence enough that British statesmen feel that the British in debtedness is already quite near enough to the danger line, and it is almost essential to the safety of Great Britain that the self-govern ing colonies assume some share of the cost of imperial defence. It is doubtful whether they can be got to do so. They would furnish men enough iu time of clanger, for man is a fighting animal, but they want the old folks to pay the bills. 4 s inor and Co. IViinor and Co. Colorado's enthusiastic recep tion to President Roosevelt means more than it may appear on the surface of things. Of course, the President is personally popular there, as well as all over the West. But Colorado has come back to the Republican party. It was the most anti-Republican of all the states in 1896, but it has been moving steadily back to the Republicans ever since and it got back all the way in 1902. It is safe to say that the plurality which Colorado gave to the Republican candidate for governor in 1902 was small com pared with that which she will roll up for the Republican presidential ticket in 1904. Ex. Heppner needs more residence buildings. There is a scarcity of houses for rent. Everybody in Morrow county is invited to come to Heppner and have a good time during our big Fourth of July celebration. The different Fourth of July committees will soon be busy at work in preparing to entertain the big crowd that will be here on the Fourth. BRITISH CREDIT AS EVER. GOOD AS The British Trausvaal loan, for which subscriptions closed last Saturday morning, has been over subscribed to an unprecedented degree. Estimates of the amount offered range from SG.OOO.OOO.OOO to 7,5000,000,000, or about twice the amount of the entire British debt. The amount of money tied up in certified checks accompany ing the bids is so great as to seriously7 interfere with the Euro pean money market, where money is expected to remain "tight" until the loan can be allotted and the checks of unsuccessful bidders re turned. It is said that the Roths childs alone applied for 450,000, 000, but that the individual sub scriptions of 8500 and under, to which preference will be given. The fact that there were few American subscriptions for a 2 J per cent loan i-hows that money in America can be used to much better advantage than that. TLe fact that our 2 per cent bonds sell so rapidly is not because money is not worth more tLan 2 ,pt cent, free of all taxes, in this country, but because of the possible ue of i those bonds as a Latis for national I bank notes which the 6mall coun try banks can issue at a profit. But Alaska's New Mines. The reoeot report of expert miners iD Alaska confirm tbo former reports of the discovers of a new silver mine in the Valdes district, also of the finding of sev eral mountains of tin 150 miles distant, making this season of discoveries the greatest Alaska has ever known.-AmoDg family remedies the greatest discovery was made about fifty years ago, when Hostetter's Stomaoh Bitters was first in troduced. It is a specific remedy for such ailments as loss of appetite, dizziness, beiobiog, indigestion, dyspep sia, constipated bowels, or biliousness, often affeoting a cure when other remedies have failed. If you are weak and sickly try a bottle of the Bitters. It will restore you to robust health by strengthening the entire system. The genuine is for sale by all druggists.

Having disposed of my photographic business I wish to inform the public that I will finish and deliver all work made before June 1st, l!)0.'5. Yours truly, !t M. I?. Galloway. Julius Mi, County Surveyor, fleper, Oregon Julius Keithley, the duly elected County Surveyor, is an old resident and surveyor of Morrow County and his long service in the work of his office is a sufficient guarantee of his ability to perform the duties thereof. Recently there has been procured for his office the field notes of the original United States government surveys of the entire county, which notes are necessary to the execution of accurate and lawful work. The office is also supplied with the latest improved Solar Compass ot Bart's patent. All the original surveys of the township and section lines were made with this kind of instrument. The law enacted by the legislature two years ago relating to the duties of County Surveyor requires the use of a solar instrument and no survey can be lawfully made bv any one without the use of a solar instrument for it requires that the record of the survey shall give the altitude and declination of the 'sun, the latitude and refraction used and the variation of the magnetic needle which can be giyen only with a solar instrument. Local attraction and variation of the magnetic needle which renders the ordinary needle conpass and transit so unreliable do not affect the Solar Compass. Courses are taken by the Solar Compass by the sun and hence absolutely true lines can be run with it. In time past in this large country people have not been particular about a few rods of land but as time goes on people will naturally want more accurate work done in locat ing lines and fences. Those desiring work done in this line may depend npon reliable service from this office and it might be well to suggest that it wouUl be much better to have such work done during the good weather of summer than to delay until the short days and uncertain weather of winter. :i aim(ii.i- MI:i;K KOSS Inthis city Wednesday morning at the residence ot V.Gentry, Mr. John Meek anil Mrs. V.tYn Ross, Rev. Frank Adkins officiating. D.V.S. Mi Deputy CouRty Surveyor. Heppner. ore. The County Surveyor, Julius Keithly, has appointed for his deputy D. V. S. Reid who is a practical Btirveyor and civil engineer of many years experience having been engaged in United States land surveying, railroad engineering, hydrographic- and geodetic surveying and has served as county surveyor and as examiner and adjuster of surveying instruments for Surveyor General of Oregon. During the summer months he will serve the public in relocating lost or obliterated government corners, establishing townshiplines, section lines and substantial lines of sections in a lawful and accurate manner, locating roads, establishing grades, locating ditches, locating mines and tracing ledges of minerals, calcuating areas and running levels. Kxtract From Statutory I.nwm. "In the resurvey of lands surveyed under the authority of the United SUtes, the county surveyor shall observe the following rules, to wit: (1) Section and quarter section corners, and all other corners established by the govrnment survey, must stand as the true corners. (2) Thev must be re established at the identical spot where the original corner was located by the government survey, when this can be determined. (3) When this cannot be done then said corners must be re-stablished ac cording to the government field notes, adopting proportionate measure" ments where the present measurements differ from the field notes." ICxtrnrt From Statutory I. a v. "The county surveyor, or any authorized persons, shall give the course of all lines, traced or established, from the true meridian as found by an observation of the sun, the magnetic variation of the needle, and nil angles shall be read from the vernier. Such persons shall record for each observation the dae and time of day, both standard and local time, dec lination of the Pun. allowance for refraction, latitude used, latitude and altitude angles employed, the distance and course of the place of observa tion from the nearest section corner in township and range. Anv survey or report shall be incomplete and shall not become final until such data is recorded." The Gazette one year, 81.00.
