Even our former successes are bound to be excelled by this sale. No such money saving op portunities were ever before offered here. The Boys' Clothing we are .offering is not shelf-worn, but we are slashing the price to make room for more stock. The shoes are in broken sizes, but the value is still there. Now is the golden opportunity to get a good suit and a pair of shoes for your boy to wear to school. Our business has increased to such an extent that we have seen fit to increase our advertising space so we can let the public know what we have. Your patronage will show if our efforts are appreciated. Boys' Clothing I . tiff I 111 Light grey, D-piece vestee suit, age 7, for merly 4.00, now 2.75 The Heppner Gazette Issued Thursday Morning. Warnoek & Michel 1. Entered at the Postollipe fit Heppner Oregon, as second-clues matter. Thursday July 23, 1903 There is no excuse for idle men in Morrow county. There is plenty of employment for all who want to work. The harvest fields over the county and the building opera tions and work of cleaning up in Heppner open a big field of labor at good wages. The great long American petition to the Czar of Russia, asking for relief and justice for the Jews, has been turned down hurd. It was just sinipl- rejected, but who ever thought of any other disposition of this petition. The Czar has troubles of his own. Pope Leo passed peacefully away Monday afternoon, and while his death caused sorrow' over the woild, the end is a relief as Well. It was only the natural result of old age. His long carepr and active life, and the courageous 111 . 1 ! . t oattie against ueatn at tne very end shows Pope Leo to haye ben a man of remarkable f-trength. His life work has been earnest, faithful, and for good and he was a splendid specimen of that type of character to be admired and re spected not only in the Catholic world but by ever body.

Morrow to the Gazette, many important public improvements are advocated. Some of these improvements at least should be taken up at once se riously. The Gazette is of the opinion that the question of sevver ago is the greatest at present be fore the people of Heppner. It would not be prudent at this time to put too many irons in the lite, but the time is not far distant when the health of the community will absolutely demand a better system of sewerage. It would not be bad policy for th( city council j to immediately take up this ques tion and thoroughly investigate the advisability and cost of an ad equate system for the present need s. iiovernor i. namoeriain lias is sued a proclamation asking all peace ollicers to use due vigilance in the enforcement of laws in the event of range troubles in Eastern Oregon. The absence of range troubles so far this season is noticeable. Not because there is any more grass or less stock to be ranged, but because the men who are in the stock business have found it more profitable to do bus iness from a business standpoint. Range troubles have been more easily settled by cool judgment and a fair distribution of justice than by the revolver and rifle. If this shouldbe a dry fall causing a scarcity of grass, it is possible for range troubles to occur, but the Shoe Department LADIES' OXFORDS Regular prices, $1.50, 2.25 and 2.50, selling at 75c, 90c, $1.00, 1.25 and 1.50 CHILDREN'S SHOES Regular prices, 75c, SI. 00, 1.25 and 1.50.

QUESTION OF SEWERAGE. The question of a system of sew erage for the town of Heppner is now being agitated with serious ness, for of the many public im provements advocated here, the matter of preservation of the health of the people stands upper most. Many of the leading citi zens and property owners now fa vor taking hold of this proposition and.pushing the matter until some thing is accomplished. Sewerage with Heppner is a se rious tiroblem. but not imnoasible. for tJie ti i Hienl ties can be overcome if properly dealt with. There are just three great ques tions to handle to bring the propo sition into successful operation. First, is the cost. It will be ex pensive. It nirans a large expendi ture of money, and the only way to raise this money is by taxation. Whether the town is in condition at this time to raise enough money is a question that should be care fully considered. Second, whore is the water com ing from. "Whether it would be cheaper to pump it from a well or bring it from mountain springs, is matter of public discussion, but can only be settled by experts in ivestigation. Third, a place to run the sewage. It is said that W. O. Minor offers to let it be deposited on his farm where he can use the water for ir rigation. If this is true then this part of now Boys' Boys 3-piece suit,' fancy double breasted vest, all wool, velvet collar, silk facings, age 3, formerly $G.50, now S4.25 Dark grey, 3-piece vestee suit, age 3, formerly 3.00, now 2 .OO Dark grey, 2-piece suit, age 4, formerly 2.00, now Sl.OO Medium light grey, 3 piece suit, all wool, Nor folk jacket, age 4, formerly 5.50, now S4-.OC) the proposition would not be dif. ficult. In putting in a S stem of sewers, while ample provision must be made for the extension and growth of the town, the amount of sewage per capita in Heppner would be comparatively small. In all towns, this depends largely upon the water supply. We have io man ufacturing concerns in which large quantities of water aie used, and generally speaking, water is used sparingly on account of the lim ited supply. This would be an important item in the cost of construction. The proposition should be care fully investigated. It is a big un dertaking that should' not be ruslyMl, but a start should be made to get the matter before the people so that a working foundation may be established. THE COUNTRY AND THE NEWSPAPERS PUP. EIC. The country newspapers of the (State of Oregon have been officially advised by the State Commission of the -Lewis and Clark fair that unfortunately there has been no appropriation for the press, and that the great amount of work and advertising which will fall an the papers must be donated, and also mixed with a very liberal application of patriotism which throbs in the big hearts of every country newspaperman. This is not particularly any fault of the commission, and the illustration is only a sample of the feeling of the public in relation to the papers. It is only carrying out a long established precedent, that the country newspaper is only a patriotic public servant working every day in the year for the pub lic to be rewaided by that feeling that good is being accomplished whether the paper's bills have Clothing been paid or not. The Lewis aud Clark fair is a worthy undertaking and should be encouraged, but, has the com mission asked the mechanic, the merchant and the people in gener al to donate everything. Are these people expected to give their goods and wares: if so, then the countrj' newspaper will have nothing to say, for by having a successful fair all these people will be benefitted just as much as the country news paper. A great deal of this is our own fault, and we will go ahead and help the fair, but then must we forever keep it up. r l Mornnoo 00 uu, tUt! The largest line ever shown in Morrow county.
