The Heppner Gazette Issued Thursday MorniuR. CLEAN UP SALE OF Warnock & Harlan. Entered at the Postoflire at Heppner Oregon, as Becoud-elass matter. Thursday July 14, 1001 TO THE PUBLIC. A change 1ms occurred in the personnel of the Gazette whereby Milton Harlan, of Stevenson, Wn., has purchased the half interest formerly owned by K. P. Michell. Mr. Michell has made many warm personal friendships in Heppner, and with these the undersigned, with whom our business relations have been most pleasant, regrets Lis departure. Mr. Harlan is an all-'round newspaper man of many years' experience, a large part of it on this Coast, and comes well recommended as well for his traits as a citizen. The Gazette and the town of Heppner welcomes him to our midst in the full assurance that his influence will be a benefit to our community and county. FRED WARNOCK. A GRAND OPPORTUNITY, Morrow county has an opportu nity to do some effective advertis ing next year at the Lewis and Clark fair. Never before has such a grand opportunity been present ed, but to get results and place our resources in the proper light before the thousands of visitors who will attend the fair, will take effort and united action on the part of our citizens. It is now up to the pride and patriotism of the people of this county. The recent visit to Morrow county of Jefferson Myers and G. ST. Harry of the fair commission, lias dispelled many erroneous ideas that were current in relation to making an exhibit at the expo sition. Before the visit of the commissioners here, a report had gained circulation that in order to be represented at the fair that it would be necessary for the county to erect its own building and send a representative which would en tail great expense. Mr. Myers at the meeting held here explained that the state and government ap propriations were for this purpose. A commodius booth in a suitable location will be furnished abso lutely free of cost. Even the transportation charges on the ex hibits will be taken care of and all that is asked is for the people to furnish the exnibits. There is no time to lose. Grain, grasses, fruits, etc, must be gathered from this year's crop in order for next year's exhibit. ABNORMAL WEATHER CONDITIONS. The electrical storm of Monday evening, accompanied by a large downpour, gives rise to the specu lation: Are the atmospheric con ditions of this country changing? It is not probable. Climatic changes over any given scope of territory do not vary in general characteristics in so short a time as a few years without some great underlying cause; and this ap pears to be absent as applied to this part of tbe country. The storm of a year ago and the one Monday evening were entirely dis similar and should be considered merely as freaks of the weather. Astral combinations, it is believed by our leading almanac makers, give rise to seismic disturbances, and since theBe changes are infi nite in variety the weather is al ways changing. General condi tions, however, remain much the same. The rainy season comes with the winter and tbe dry sea son with the summer.

It will take much more than one or two freaks in a record covering the settlement of this country to convince the people that our climate has changed, and is perhaps one of those cases where the exception proves the rule. The people of Ileppner, in view of their sad ex periences of last summer, are to be excused for their nervous ap prehension of disaster. Yet it is scarcely probable that lives will le lost again. The nearness every where of elevated ground will al ways enable the people to reach 1 places of safety in the remote event that the storm of June, 1005, -will ever be duplicated. The les son to be learned, if any, is that homebuilders should avoid the low creek bottoms. These make ex cellent gardens and pasture grounds, and it is but little more trouble anywhere in our gently rolling country to erect the house above all possible danger from heavy rainfall. Conceding even there is no danger, the sense of absolute security is worth gratify ing, and is due tbe women and children at least, owing to their usually sensitive ' nervous organization. Tarker has been nominated as the Democratic standard bearer. How Bryan and Hearst will fonch on the bits now. It took the Democratic party just eight years to advance to the Republican position on sound money. They aro usually about that far behind ,on all the impor tant issues. 13y the time the Dem ocratic party gets up to the Re publican position on "imperial ism," the Philippine islands will be a garden of productiveness, threaded by American-built rail roads and pervaded by American enterprise and thrift. Jupiter Pluvius and the news papers are determined to make Ileppner notorious rather than famous. We never 8Aid anything about Nebraska and Kansas.

The first killing of sheep in Umatilla county as a result of the range war be tween the tattle ami sheep interests oc curred Wednesday in the northeastern part of the county when sixty head of sheep belonging to Davin and Ely were killed. These sheep are from the state of Washington, but had been brought across the line to the Illne mountain ranges. Also there are some cattle be ing ranged in this '.territory. Wednes day, so it is alleged, three cattlemen set their dogs on a band of sheep and cbasep them into a ravine where they were "piled" and sixty head killed be fore the herder could eet them Btraioht- ened out. Mr. Ely, one of the owners of the sheep, waa in Tendleton for the purpose of securing aid from iha au thorities. He says he knows who the cattlemen were and it is believed that he has a strong case against them. No warrants have as vt h envlUVUfcVJ Mr. Ely. rendleton Tribune.
