The Heppner Gazette Issued Thursday Morning. Warnock te Michell. Entered at the Postofliee at Heppner Oregon, as second-class matter. Thursday March 17, 1904 The Morrow County Roosevelt Clnb will have a big meeting next Saturday night. Come out. Don't forget to register. It is not much trouble now, but it will eaye a whole lot of trouble later on. Japan wants horses for cavalry service and will look to Oregon for a good portion of the supply. The white eyed cay uses of Eastern Oregon can give the Japs a touch of high life. We have plenty for sale. What is Morrow County doing to get a share of the immigration that is now coming to Oregon from the middle states? There are good opportunities and plenty of room in Morrow County for many more people. The Oregon Daily Journal will commence the publication of a Sundav morning issue on March 20. The Journal is making a rap id growth, and the news service of the paper has been greatly enlarged and improved. The delegates elected from the different precincts to represent the Republicans in the county con. vention to be held in this city next Saturday are representative men who will no doubt put up a good strong ticket in which the people will have confidence to give to the different officers the reins of county government, for good government is a Republican principle. It is almost an unwritten law in this state that congressmen should be elected to the second term. This has been the rule for over twenty years, and it will not be changed in the second district next June. It is a foregone conclusion that Mr. Williamson will succeed himself, and he will be elected by the largest majority ever cast for a congressman in the second con gressional district in Oregon. The Dalles Chronicle. The above from the Dalles paper is very true, and Morrow county is right in line. It has been decided by the high est court of Oregon that a note given for the first premium on a life insurance policy does not con stitute payment of such premium. This was a case where the assured died after the policy was issued and mailed at New York, but be fore it was received in Portland In Judge Wolverton's decision there is implied criticism of agents' promises. To be entirely safe, an applicant must actually pay the premium when he makes applica tion, disregarding the solicitor's cheerful statement, "Oh, that'll be all right; pay it the first of the mcnth or whenever it's conveni ent" In this state the only way to bridge the brief period between asking for insurance and the pos session of the policy is with coin of the realm. Oregonian. The swelling floods that are now tumbling seaward from all over the Pacific Northwest emphasize the necessity for some storage sys tern which will prevent this waste of water. Xot only does it spread havoc in its path, as it races sea ward, but it robs the soil of that in which it will stand in great need before the "Fall rains" are with us again. The vast arid plains east of the Cascade Moun tains are rich in agricultural pos- sibilities if water could only be se cured for them, and if the water which is now rushing to the ocean conld be only partly controlled or stored it would add millions to the wealth of the state. This is a mat ter which will some day become of very grave concern, and a satis factory solution of the problem will be of inestimable value to the entire Pacific Northwest. Ore gonian. Enough water has already been wasted in Willow creek this winter to irrigate a large territory in Morrow county. Hardman News. Hardman, March 16, 1904. Mrs. Barnard is still improving. Rev.
