The Heppner Gazette KutHblisho March 30, 188.'?. ISSUED THURSDAY MORNING. Fred Warnock (Entered at the Postofflce at Heppner Oregon, as second-class matter. Thursday Aug. 10, 1905 What has become of Heppner's long looked for commercial club? Morrow county is getting a good price for everything that she has to sell. Business ought to be good this fall and winter. The lone Proclaimer says that Ione's business men are more re liable than the business men of Heppner. Such talk from the little boys of the Proclaimer is absolutely silly. Indications are now that the United States will produce the greatest crop in the history of the country. With the good prices that now prevail American farmers will be more prosperous than ever before. which has ben secured from t&e Northern Pacific Railroad com pany. Ou this '24000 acres of laud the big trust company pays tnxs amounting to 080, but only $278 of this amount goes to Mor iow county, the balance going to the school districts. To make the owns almost 29,000 acres of land in Morrow county on which the company pays a tax of $408, Think of it. This paltry sum on such a vast body of land. It is a well known fact that this company is now selling or attempting to sell a portion of this land for $150 per acre. Will the mouthpiece giye the taxpayers of Morrow county a little more light on this interesting subject. The records of Morrow county show a total valuation of $4060 for the townsite of Irrigon. Heppner don't want to fight Ir rigon or any other town in Mor row county, but we like to be treated halt white. JIITCHKM. TRIAL. With Others. Senator Will Face Jury on I'uter Indictment. JUoiiuineii t Notes. The second trial of Williamson is over and the result is practical ly an acquittal. Williamson never will be convicted because it has never been shown that he has been guilty of violating the law. Ninety per cent of the people of the state of Oregon today believe Mr. Wil liamson to be innocent. The authorities of New Orleans and adjoining territory are doing everything to prevent the spread of the terrible yellow jack. It was in 1878 that the last serious yellow fever epidemic took place, tnougn tnere nave Deen many sporadic visitations of the malady since then, in New Orleans and elsewhere. In 1878 New Orleans had 4600 deaths from yellow jack, Memphis was hit hard by the mal ady in that year and in 1879 Along the entire gulf coast, as far north as the middle of Kentucky, where the northward advance of the plague was stopped, there were nearly 15,000 deaths from yellow fever in 1S78. HOW AHOl T IT. The Irrigon Irrigator, the mouthpiece of the Title Guaranty !t Trust company of Portland and the Oregon Land & Water com pany of Irrigon, which, by the way, is one and the same, has another fling at Heppner in the last issue. The article referred to was taken from the Woodburn In dependent, the protege of the Irri gator, published down in the sleepy old town of Woodburn where the grass in the streets is tall enough to be mowed with a scythe. The Irrigator is fed and foster ed by the big trust company and should the monthly bonus be stopped Irrigon would immediately have a newspaper graveyard. While the Irrigon mouthpiece has) been very energetic in saying so J many unkind things about the county teat, still there are some things that the little paper has not mentioned. The Oregon Land & Water company tow owns in Morrow county 4,025 acres of deeded land on which there are taxes paid to the amount of .5. Of this amount .Morrow county receives the sum of S'130, the balance of the S3G5 going to the schoil districts. The Title Guaranty & Trust company now owns under contract in this county 38 sections of land (From the Enterprise.) Jefl Jone9, of Heppner, arrived in town yesterday in view of buy ing lambs. E. C.

This is a fine plac to take your family for a few weeks outing at a moderate cos Senator John II. Mitchell will be once more brought before the Federal Court on September 5, when, with hi8 aso nates, he will be tried on what is known as the Puter indictment, in wnich it is alleged that Mr. Mitchel accepted $2000 from S. A. D. Puter as compensation for his services in assist ing Puter to secure expedition of various claims through the Land Office. At the same time Salmon B. Ormsby, William H. Davis, Clark E. Loomis, Henry A Young and George Sorenson will be tried for a similar offense charged in a separate indictment. Yesterday morning upon the request of United States District Attorney Heney, Judge De Haven Bet the two indictments down for trial on September 5, though he left the matter of their consolidation to the decision of Judge Hunt, who will sit during the trial of the cases. The first, or the Puter indictment, in cludes a long list of defendants, beaded by Senator Mitchell, and completed by the names of Binger Hermann, S. A. D. Puter, Horace G. McKinley, Emma D, Watson, Dan W. Tarpley, Elbert K. Brown, Mrs. Nellie BrowD, Henry A. Young, Frank H. Walgamot, Clark E. Loomis and Salmon B. Ormsby. This indictment charges that on Feb ruary 1, 1902, the defendants entered into a conspiracy to defraud the Govern ment out ot land in the well-known 11-7 country, the scene of all the trouble in the Puter trial of November, situated near the base of Mount Jefferson. Puter, McKinley, Watson, Tarpley and some of the others are the ones di rectly interested in the commencement of the conspiracy, as they formed the purpose to secure possession of the land. Afterwards, Puter and Mrs. Watson went to Washington, where they inter eted Senator Mitcnell and Binger Her mann in their claims , it is alleged, with l the result that the suspended lands were considered by the Land Office, and, after some trouble, passed to patent. It was during the Washington visit of Puter that the transfer of the $2000 from him to Mitchell is alleged to have taken place. Th second indictment includes Sal mon B. Onm-by, William II. Davis, the Mayor of Albany ; Claik E. Loomis, a fuuner ppecihl agent of the Government Land Ollice ; Henry A. Young and Guorg?! Smenson. In this indictment the same allegation is made as in the first, the time of the conspiracy being p'aced b the indictment at December 29, 1901.
