The Heppner Gazette Ehtflbliehed March 30, 1883. ISSUED THURSDAY MORN I N. Fred Warnock Entered at the rostofflce at Heppner Oregon, ai second-class matter. Thursday Feb. 23, 1905 In the United States we have about 27,000,000 children and youths of school age. Less than half this number of children of school age are in the schools today which causes the Saturday Even ing Post to earnestly ask what is the matter with the parents, and what is the matter with the schools. The Jayne bill which provided for amendment of the local option law in Oregon died in the senate at the eleventh hour. After pass ing the house, the contest was very close in the senate. This bill which was up during the en tire session probably received more attention than any other measure. The local option law remains the same. impressive object lesson. i he article goes on with considerable detail in giviog accurate statistics in relation to products and wealth of the county. In exploiting the advantages and opportunities, no stronger argument could be pro duced thin the publication of a statemeut from a reliable farmer attached. This TV f U w w " - statement shows that for 3'20 acres Aflan1 thia man rmid S1G50. Af- lJ L I t VI VUfttJ f - ter allowing a liberal allowance for every expense of planting, harvesting, and marketing the crop, the wheat produced in a single season sold for enough to pay all, but $125.25. These are facts that will appeal to the man who is look ing for a good investment as well as a home. MORROW COUXTrS RICH SOIL. With the Datural mild climate of Eastern Oregon the cold snap which has pievailed for some time has been keenly felt. Zero weath er here is very unusual and it does seem cold. One reason is that very little preparations are made for nrotection acrainst weath er that the murcury registers zero, Protection against eold weather is considered unnecessary. The cold wave was general and we only got our share, The decision of Secretary Hitch cock, Attorney-General Moody, and Tostmaster-General Wynn that there will be no more federal appointments for Oregon until after the trials, so that the clouds may be removed that now hang over three of tbe four of Oregon's delegation, is about the only con clusion that could be arrived at under the circumstances. Fair ness and justice i,s all that could be asked and should prevail at all times. The cold blooded murder of the Grand Duke Sergius, of Russia, causes a shudder over the whole world. "While there is no worse system of government in the world today among the civilized rnces than tbe Russian monarchy, still, red handed anarchy which goes hand and hand with murder, deserves no more sympathy even there than in any other place. The man who threw the fatal bomb is the exponent of a most dangerous element in any country, for it is almost impossible to deal with the man that cares not for his own life. Murder can never eradicate a real or imaginary wrong. The removal of an indi vidual will not change any estab lished system. The Grand Duke Sergius is gone but his place may be filled by even a greater tyrant. A GOOD SHOWING, The last issue of the lone I'ro claimer is a veiy creditable one for a town the eiz-i of lone. On the front page appears a comprehen 6ive and able article entitled. "Morrow County and its Ideal .Soil and Climate." The article which is based udoh cold facts gives in a clear and concise man ner actual conditions as they now exist The topography of the county is well described. In reference to the climatic conditions the temperature in leading cities in many different states is given, on the 25th of January, and the contrast is so great that it is an The soil of Morrow county is undoubtedly very rich, especially in the properties necessary to pro duce wheat. The great upheaval which reclaimed this county from the lashings of the old Pacific, bringing the ocean bed far above the surfaces was associated with intense heat reducing all infiam able material to ashes, according to geological theory. This pulver ized lava which has been mixed for ages with the deposits of na ture has created soil that, ac cording to chemical analysis, is almost indestructible and com pares With the best wheat produc ing soil of the world. The mix- tuie with volcanic ash makes the eoil loose and easy to cultivate, thus making it possible to wcrk more land with tbe same amount of labor than in many other dis tricts where wheat is grown. Close observation has proven that this eoil improves with cultivation. The most logical reason so far ad vanced for this is the fact that cul tivation mixes the properties or the soil in a way to get a more uniform distiibution, and ab-o turning over the earth and expos ing it to tbe elements produces chemical action which -s beneficial t ) veetabla growth. "With these favornble vaturnl conditions, it is not strange that Morrow county for the year 100 1 produced more wheat per capita than any other county iu the Northwest. It is not the intent of the Gazette to make it appear that this county will only grow whofib for this would be far from th actual facts, for this soil will grow other products in great abundance and to a high state of perfection i: properly cared for. Irrigation is the great agencv that will bring success to the man who wants to farm a small tract In the vicinity of the town of Irri gon in the eastern portion of the county the Oregon Land & Water Company his made some startling developments in t-howing what can be grown with the aid of irriga tion. The town and lands ad joining are becoming a veritable garden spot in tbe growth of shrubbery, fruit, berries and vegetables.
