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.

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.

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.

MI:i;K KOSS Inthis city Wednesday
morning at the residence ot V.Gentry,

experience having been engaged in United States land surveying, railroad
engineering, hydrographic- and geodetic surveying and has served as

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."
