Warnook & Michell. Entered at the Fostofliee at Heppner Oregon, as second-class matter. Thursday August C, 1903 These hot days make it easy to realize how nice a city park would be. The Blue mountains will soon be giving up the wealth of black diamond?, and some day Morrow county will be the Pennsylvania of the We6t. The Gazette would like to see more interest taken in the queston of needed public improvments that have been talked of by a few public spirited citizens. There are several matters that are certainly worthy of investigation at least. by the people of our sister state for a long time and the result is plain to all. The fair will help Wash- It will help Oregon more. ington. at least. The railroad people will not give away valuable property for something that will do them no good. Governor Chamberlain is taking an active part in the port age road project and says that the state will proceed with prepara tions for early construction. While the state board will exhaust all As mining progresses in the Willow creek coal field the outlook grows brighter all the time. The fact that a great coal field has been discovered is now settled beyond a ' means to carry out the provisions reasonable doubt. A new tunnel of the bill, present conditions are which has just been opened known such that it will only take a small as Conser tunnel will soon be amount of cold water to chill the The seaEon has arrived and with it the reports of the hunters puncturing their companions with bullets just because they made noises like deer. A man who could not hit a deer in a hundred shots always kills a man the first shot. It now remains only for the peo ple of Oregon to do as they ought to to ' make the Lewis and Clark fair a success.

We will have a voice some day. How many of the residents of Oregon make any systematic effort to advertise the resources of the state? tlow many of the business men of the state take the trouble to call attention of the public to the opportunities awaiting thrift and industry in the West? How many letters that are sent out of Oregon to friends and business ac quaintances, contain any allusion to the matchless resources of the country? Every man who writes a letter to outside points should in close something about the state, It should become a practice with everybody, to say a few words or inclose a few plain facts about the vicinity in which they live. It is the onlv wav in which the state at mi can be settled with a desirable It looks rather blue for the port- class of people. It is just a mat age road at Celilo. Whether the ier of business advertising. If road could be properly built inside people don't hear of the opportu of the appropriation of $1G.",000 nities of Oregon, they will go to has always been a question, but ! some other state that is seeking now the problem of a right of way settlers by spreading the news of is the greatest obstacle. The O. i their resources. East Oregoman K. & X. refuses to give any of thp company's right of way. There is not enough money to buy a right of way and build the road.

The negro as a part of the en listed force of the United States navy is to be eliminated. The elimination will be gradual by let ting the blacks go as fast as their terms expire and to hereafter dis courage the enlistment of colored men. Where white men are forced to treat negroes as their equals, whether it be in the navy or any other place there will be trouble, and this well known fact has forced the new policy which is a wise one. At the present time of the 29,000 enlisted men in the navy, 500 of them are black. "PALACE MAXl'FACTl'KIJKS OK FJNE CANDIES H. D. Wood & Co J AST LEXINGTON NEWS. Lexington, Aug. 5, VM.
