Tbe city council should look
after some of Heppner's bad side
walks especially on Main street
Heppner claims the distinction
of having the largest bank deposits
of any town of its size in the state
of Oregon,
For higher education in the
United States John D. Rockefeller
has given a plump $10,000,000.
John says that not a dollar of this
has been tainted.
Heppner has some bad knockers
and they are people who live right
here. Heppner is a prosperous
town and will continue to be as
long as the people will allow it.
A conserversative farmer says
that the June rains will add $50,
000 to the pockets of Morrow
county farmers this season. Not
only will the quality of wheat be
improved bnt the yield will be
greatly increased.
Secretary Taft in his Yale com
mencement address made the state
ment that trial ty jury even after
centuries of operation was far from
a success. There is twelve times
as much human nature in a jury as
in a judge.
Dr. .Lane, Portland's new demo
cratio mayor took his seat Satur
day. His cabinet of ten men con
sists of seven democrats and three
republicans. The three republi
cans appointed were active in their
support of tbe new mayor.
Secretary of State John Hay
died Saturday morning. As author,
diplomat and statesman John Hay
is justly entitled to a p'ace in
Americ n history. Mr. liny was
one of President Roosevelt's most
confidential friends him! advisers.
miles, and the proposed line would
penetrate the heart ot a very rich
agricultural district.
To make the matter short this
road would be tributary to a dis
trict 60 miles in length and at
least 20 miles in width which to
day would furnish 800,000 bushels
of wheat arjd capable of produoing
this much more besides the local
traffic that would naturally come
to the business of the road.
The country is new and sparcely
settled and would make rapid
growth in population if there were
proper transportation facilities.
Today tbe people of this district
are hauling their wheat by wagon
and team for a distance of from
five to 30 miles and this is so ex
pensive that it is discouraging for
the farmers who are favored with
rich land, easy of cultivation and
capable of producing immense
crops. Even with the big handi
cap of the long and 'expensive
hauls these farmers are making
money which would be impsssible
if it were not for the fact that wheat
can be easily and cheaply grown in
this country which has been favored
by nature.
Not only would there be wheat
to haul but this road would tap
one of the finest timber belts in
tbe Blue Mountains with only a
short extecsion from the town
of Hardman.
If the road should reach Hard-
man it would only be about 20'
miles from a great coal field that i
is now lying idle for the only rea
son that it is now held back by the
railroad interests that are too well
known to need further comment.
The idea that this road would
injure the business interests of any
town in Morrow county is without
foundation. Instead of injury it
would be of benefit. Agriculture
is one of the greatest pillars upon
which the whole country rests.
Prosperity of the people engaged
in agriculture means prosperity
for the whole people, the lack of
prosperity with the farmers aud
tbe towns are first to feel the de-

The farmers and residen's jesid
ing in tbe territory between Bla
lock on the Columbia river and
Hardmau in Morrow county are
greatly interested in the proposed
railroad through thia territory
which has already been talked of
considerably. Three meetings at
three different places have been
.alli for this week. The object of
these meetings is to get acquainted
with the situation and also to raise
funds to establish a preliminary
Mirvey.
Morrow county's greatest draw
back is her isolation and lack of
trauspoitation facilities. Here is
a vast territory almost large erjough
ior a fctatp, with almost unlimited
resources, with very fertile noil but
greatly handicapped for the only
reabon that we haven't the proper
facilities for getting our products
to the markets.
A great many people are prone
1o think that tin proposed rail
road is a visionary idea and as
Mich are lnchm-d ta throw odd
water ou the entf-rpnie by uif;king
liilht of it.
Proper iu 'ligation will how
that the farmers have just grounds
for their claims in asking for a
road and can and will show
that future business will some day
warrant the construction of a line.
The distance between Hardman
and Blalock is between .10 and GO

if they will keep on poundi: gaway
