It will doubtless be difficult for the people of Heppner, standing amidst the wreck of ruined homes, and haunted by the memories of friends and relatives hniried to untimely graves by sudJen disaster to recover their equilibrium. It must needs cost an effort to turn from the contemplation of the devastating deluge, which cost our people 60 much in life, property and suffering. Yet the part of wisdom and duty demand a res olute and purposeful facing about and a calm survey of the future for the prom ise it holds. If the misfortune which has come to ns has any compensating features, they should not be neglected. Every new and valuable advantage purchased at so great a cost, as we have paid should be seized upon and made to yield the most possible for the future safety and wel fare of our people. That the disaster which has befallen us haB opened the way for a number of needed improvements and reforms, be fore practically impossible, is beyond question. The original builders of Heppner encroached upon the creek with walls, buildings and shade trees, at what cost we have just seen. Now while a wide stretch adjacent to Willow creek is swept bare of everything, a strip of land 150 feet wide extending along the creek ought to be condemned and heieafter no obstructions placed up on it. Again, Heppner ought to have a park. At present there is no suitable place for out of door meetings or recreation. A part of the land swept by the deluge is eminently suitable for park purposes, and if set out to trees of rapid growth such as box elder, balm, etc, would in a few years make a beautiful and pleasant spot. Ever since we have had a railroad our people have been dnily impressed with the inconyenience of having our depot with the telegpaph and express offices situated a mile from the business portion of the town. This was made necessary when the road was built by the impossibility of securing at a rea sonable cost a right of way to a point further up town. Now there is nothing to obstruct the building of a railroad to the center ot Heppner. Why not give a right of way to the O. R. & N. Co., to the lot of C. A. Rhea in front of the court house and ask the company to build a depot there. It would be a gracious thing to do in view of the re cent kindness of the O. R. k N. to the people of Heppner and might secure a great and needed convenience for our citizens. Another improvement which lias al ready been delayed far beyond the point of prudetrce and safety is a sewerage system. This is now an urgent need. and the growth and development y hich our coal mines and other natural re sources, together with the logic of our situation as a trade center must bring to our town in the near future, will render a proper system of sewerage an una voidable necessity. This improvement can be more cheaply and economically made fiow than it can a year from now or at any other future time. I have every reason to believe that most of the land required for the pur poses mentioned, wou'd be donated by the owners. For myself, I will gladly give any land I have along the creek for any of these purposes. Moreover, it" the citizens of Heppner will take up these matters and see that they are ac complished, I will in addition be will ing to bear any incieased taxation which may fall on me, and plat out 20 lots lving on the high ground between the court house and the school house, and give them gratis one each, to twenty families who lost their hones in the flood and have no place to rebuild, the only condition being that each family so given a lot shall erect thereon a home to cost not iess than 500. While temporarily absent from Hepp ner, my home is here, my interests are here and my heart is with the people who live here. I want to fee the towu rebuilt, better, safer, and more beauti ful than before. I have deep and abid ing faith in the energy and persever ance of the friends and acquaintances of a lifetime, and believe they will rise to this emergency as they have to every other, and I assure them that any aid 1 cn lend them in their task shall not be withheld. Very respectfully, J. W. MORROW. His Crop off Huckleberries. Tiie B'ue mountains this season will furnish an immense crop of huckleber ries, the largest for years. On the lower ridges the berries are now yetting ripe, while on the higher mountains the ber ries will be later, thus furnishing a long season of fine, fresh fruit. The Indians are now out after the berries and are making pretty good race with the bears, with bruin a little in the lead, for if there is anything that his bearship likes it is nice ripe huckleberries. Quite a lot ot this fruit will be gathered by white people. These berries have an excel lent flavor and are good for canning pur poses. The siwashes live fat during the huck leberry season. They eat the berries and also trade them for stronger muck a muck. The Blue mountains produce five different varieties of huckelberries, rail of good flavor. STILE AT EAItta:. o Trace of Ilie Supposed Murderer of Wong Oiling. Wong Hong Quang, the supposed murderer of Wong Ching, particulars of which were given in last week's Gazette, is still at large. Quong's dis appearance is a mystery, and his disnp pearance is as complete as if lie had been swallowed up by theeaith. While the officers have been di.igent in the search for hirn, every clue has been lost. Wong Hock, representing the Chinese Six companines, has offered a reward of $100 for Quong's conviction. Qnong is .a desperate character, a good shot and well acquainted in the Blue Mountains. MAKitlEO. CAMPBELL HUSH At the residence of the bride's parents, near Hood River, Oregon, Wednesday, Julv , 1903, Mr. Louis Campbell of Hepp ner, and Mies Dollie Rush, of Hood River. j Mr. Campbell very quietly went away Saturday morning, letting no one know of his good intentions. Mr. Campbell is the junior member ot the firm of Noble & Campbell, the well known wholesale and retail saddle and harness manufacturers, and is a well known and successful young bus iness man. Miss Rush, of Hood River, is also quite well known here, being a graduate of the Heppner Hinh School, and an ac complished young lady. n Mr. and Mrs. Campbell went to Port land for a short wedding tup and will return to this city about the first of August. Oregon's i:liilit lit St I.oulx. The Lewis and Clark Commission made a good start at its monthly meet ing held in Portland on the 11th of July, and actual work was begun in prepar-. ing a creditable exhibit for Oregon at St Louis. Ex-Senator W. H. Wehrung, of Hillsboro, was elected general su perintendent. He has had considerable experience and excellent success in this class of work. Mr. A. F. Miller, of Os wego, was elected superintendent of horticulture and agriculture, a position which he has heretofore held with the State fair, and Mr. J. II. Fisk, of Port land, a well known and very competent mining man, was elected superintend ent of mines and mining, $2000 was set aside for the purchase of so much of the exhibits at district and county fairs as the commission may find to be of value for an exhibit at St Louis. This should enconrage the ex hibitors at these fairs to do their beet in preparing something that will be se lected by the state commission. This is in addition to the .f 1500 already set aside for the same pu-pose at the State Fair. The commission lies had Hon. Henry Henry B'ackman, of Heppner, scour ing Eastern Oregon for fine fleeces of wool, and he has had such success that it is expected that as fine a wool exhibit as has ever been gotten together will be the result of his work. Although no vote has been taken on the matter, it is practically settled that no part of the appropriation for an ex hibit, ot St. Eouis will be expended for a building there, as no exhibit placed in such a building can compete for pre miums, and only such of our citizens as are fortunate enough to go to St. Louis can derive any benefit from a state building. The same amount of money expended in showing our resources through judicious advertising, and a fuller display of the wonderful agricul tural, mineral, stock and other resources will be of much trreater advantage to the people in general. A cheap build ing, and we could build no other out of our appropriation and leave enough for other purposes, would be worse than none as compared to the elaborate buildings of other states, while a fine display of our natural resources will capture for us the premiums as we ex cel nearly everv other state in such re sources. The commission wants to represent every nook and corner of our state, and to that end President Myers will bo pleased to receive communications from anyone who has any project or idea which he thinks will be of benefit to our exhibit at St. Louis.
