The Heppner Gazette KbtMiho' March 30, 1SS3. ISSUED THURSDAY MORNING. Fred Warnock Entered at the Postofflee at Heppner Oregon, an second-class matter. Thursday Aug. 3, 1905 The bunco business is said to be a prosperous recreation iD Port land nowadays. The fraternity is well represented. Not a single neck of a mazama has been broken this year nor have any of the progressive hunt ers shot any one for deer so far this season. Strange bat true. Walter L. Tooze is one of the active congressional candidates from the first district. Mr. Tooze is ambitious and able and would represent his district well. His strength in Marion county is growing. At a bargain sale at a depart ment store in Pittsburg 2,500 women made such a rush for the bargains that many of them were badly injured in the stampede. The sale was well advertised which accouuts for the rush. sfa taking out the accumulation o sand and gravel to the ocean, lie fore the construction of the jetty the sea current was greater than that of the river leaving deposits which causes the bar. A depth o 30 feet will allow the bigges freighters to cross the bar withou waiting for high tide. Improve ment of this great water highway both at the mouth and on the up per river is of the greatest im portance to the people of the Northwest HOOD RIVER'S PROSPERITY. The rich Wallowa country is how elated over the prospects of a railroad. The O. R. & N. Co. and a company known as the Wollowa Valley Railroad Company are now both negotiating for right of way. There is lots of talk about the road, but this has been the trouble with former railroad building. Our great undeveloped territory is placarded with promises. The fact that W. W. Cotton has declined the appointment of fed eral judge for the district of Ore gon may result in some benefit to the state if rumors are true. It is 6aid that the attorney has been given much more latitude in the discharge of his duties as head legal adviser which will have decided influence on the future railroad policy of the state. His policy always has been liberal and progressive in opposition to the dog in the maDger attitude of the higher officials which has predom inated in the pa6t. Iu speaking of the federal judge ship appointment the Oregonian 6a ve: "What part Mr. Heney will take in the matter is not yet manifest. Ilis veto to any man's appointment, it is generally be lieved, would hold with the ad ministration and kill off that man's candidacy. Had he had cause to send in a veto agninst Mr. Cotton, the latter man would probably not have been chosen, for the president undoubtedly has full confidence in Mr. Heney's judg ment." Oh, who is Mr. Heney, The greatest in the land Who holds federal judgships In the palm of his hand. Why be controls most of the busi ness Of poor old Uncle Sam This same Mr. Heney, The great I AM. When it comes to Orpgon's dele gation, Well, I should say nit For in the poor old state, Mr. Heney is IT. There is 21 feet of water in the shallowest part of the Columbia river bar. It is estimated by gov ernment engineers that in another year the water at the shallowest place will be increase! to a depth of 30 feet owing to the influence of jetty work which produces a greater current than that of the One hundred and eight cars of strawberries were shipped out of Hood River this season and what amounted to 71 cars were shipped out by express. In all there were shipped 114,040 cases which, at an average price of $1.75 case, yielded return very closely approximat ing $200,000. The results could not fail to be highly satisfactory to all concerned even though the crop was shorter than usual. Pretty soon the apple crop will be receiving the attention ately accorded the strawberry crop and then there will pour in upon Rood River another golden stream to make its people pros perous and its products famous. Hood River is a section of the state of which all Oregonians have reason to be proud. Portland Journal. Good for Hood River. Such re ports are gratifying to the people of the whole state of Oregon. The fact that Hood River has sold $200,000 worth of strawberries and will have a good apple crop will be known all over the country, and why. Simply because the people there are enterprsing and proud of their productive valley and are letting the outside world know all about it. The conse quences are that the Hood River valley is becoming thickly popu lated and the town of Hood River is growing and prosperous. The Hood River spirit comes out with an interesting story. They pin it on the lapels of their coate. They put it on banners They placard eye: y car that leaves the town. They get iu the news papers. Th people pull together Their enterprise and the publicity that they give to their prosperity impresses the stranger. A little comparison might make Heppner people think a little. The Hood River valley today probab ly has as much population as the entire county of Morrow. The town of Hood River has at least one-third greater population than Heppner. Heppner thi reason has shipped out and sold S 500,000 vnri'i of wool. W ho saw h single or pla carded telling anything aUn;t it. On the long trip E-ist how many people knew anything about thse cars. Heppner wool brought $300,000 more than Hood River strawberries and wool money is just hh go( d as strawberry money. We shipped 175,000 worth of sheep. How many heard about thin, not to nay anything about our horses and cattle- which run iuto the thousands. Then we have the Hdvuutnge of a double shot, the same as Hood River. While Hood River is marketing her bi npple crop this fall we will' on Sv-liitg a wheat crop that will mike the f i nit value insignificant icdi-ed. How will Hood River's bank de posits if the town is larger, com pare with Heppner. Heppner has two strong banks. The last sworn statement of the First National showed deposits of almost S700, 000. We need a color bearer. We with Hpppner anyway. Prosper ity is sticking out in every busi uess house, it is written on every farmers face. Come to Morrow county and help us enjoy it. Sunday Services.

The sorters concluded their work Saturday, and many of them have left town. The remaining scoured wool will be baled by this evening and will be shipped at once to Boston. Wool in the grease has all been graded, work in that depart' ment having been finished today at noon. The tubs ha ve been at work washing the stained or discolored wool that is al ways left for the clean-up, and it is be lieved that thh will all be scoured by tomorrow. So far this week there have been five cars of grease and two of washed wool sent to the eastern houses' and aqout the same amount will be sent with the final delivery. During the past season 2,500,000 pounds of wool have been sorted and plaoed in the tubs for cleaning, and of this amount 600,000 ponnds of the finest kind of fleece wool has resulted. It wi! I be seen that there is a loss of about 75 per cent from sand, tar, grease and other foreign materials in the wool as it comes from the sheep's back. According to the figures of the man agement of the scouring mills wool ap proximating $380,000 has been handlod by the scouring mill during the past year, to say nothing of the value of the grease wool that has been graded and sent to The Dalles and to Boston for Bcouring. It has been figured out that the handling of this wool in this section of the state has resulted in leaving about $375,000 in circulation among all concerned. The weekly pay roll at the local scouring mill has been $630 per week and this continued during the season. E. Oregon ian. Wool Sold at Record Price. Butte, July 26.
