Willard Ilerren came in Saturday
frem his ranch in the Willow creek ba
sin. He brought out some very pretty
specimens ot tnottled granite. The
stone ia very hard and takps a high

to be of value for building and orna
mertal purposes. Should a railroad be
built to the Willow creek real mines
this ftone will be easy of access.

FOR PI IILIC IMPROVEMENTS.
Hon. J. W. Morrow Offers Some
(ood Suggestions.
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.

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.
