It is c'aimtHl that retail busi
ness m Portland is much better
than it was a year ago. The fair
eeems to have beeu of permanent
benefit to Portland.
The editor of the Irrigon Irri
gator saje that he will gldly
make the sacrifice of going down
iu to his pocket and digging up a
big dollar if Senatorr Mitchell will
resign. When the senator hears
of this he certainly ought to re
sign. WIDI'IMti OF IVILIOW CREEK.
The widening of Willow creek
is a question that is beginning to
be looked upon seriously by the
people of Heppner.
At a meeting of the Commercial
Club last Saturday evening the
question was brought up and dis
cussed with interest.
It is fully realized that the task
is a big one, but many of the busi
ness men and citizens believe that
the work can be accomplished
with proper organization and sys
tematic methods in the handling
of the business end.
The first great question is the
matter of cost. The only way to
obtain an estimate which would
CDme within the bounds of ac
curacy, is to employ a competent
engineer and make a complete
survey. Already the work of se
curing an engineer is under way.
The Commercial Club is now cor
responding with the O. R. & N.
officials in an effort to get a man
who can do the work.
A strong effort will be put forth
to try and get the money back
that was turned over by the relief
committee. fSiraply asking for
this money without doing any pre
liminary woik by the citizens will
never get it.
We need a survey showing the
amount ef woi k and the probable
cost, aud we must show why this
work should bt done. This is
something that every citizen of
Ileppner should take an interest
in. We should all get out and
work for it. Some day it will be
accomplished.
pear in a few months. The pros
pect now is that no man need be
without wotk who has any de
sire to earn an honest living. In
other words, with the railroad
work in full swing, the vagrant
and the professional idler should
be given short shift in Oregon.

Tn another column of today's
Telegram there appears an an
nouncement as to the scarcity of
labor in this section. The fact is
set forth that there is nowhere
near sufficient common labor to
supply the demand that will be
created by the railroad work now
in contemplation. It is stated
that contractors will have to seek
in Eastern cities for lobor of thia
clasB to supply their need; that in
the course of the next year it will
be necessary to bring thousands of
men from Eastern cities by reason
of this deirth.
There is no fact that will testify
more emphatically to the prosper
ity of this section than this.
When at the bottom, labor is well
employed and when it is well
employed the wages are bound to
be remunerative all wageworkers
are on easy street, so far as op
portunities for employment are
concerned. The steady employ
ment of an entire community
means good business for the mer
chant, tne ready' circulation 01 a
lountiful volume of money and
the encouragement of the outsider
to come in and join in the woik of
founding more business concerns
that will make, sell and exchange
thing.
Notwithstanding the showing
that is male as to the 6hoitage of
labor, it is doubtless the fact that
the-e are mn who are unfortu
nate in securing work. It is clear
Had Iteaaona For Being Anxious
to Break Jail.
Fred Fehrman, who recently es
caped from the Morrow county
jail by digging a hole iu the stone
wall, and who was being held on
a charge of wife beating, it seems,
from recent developments, was a
much worse man than was gener
ally supposed. Instead of an in
offensive old German with a bad
temper, it appears that he is a
dangerous man and a hardened
criminal.
It will be remembered that
Fehrman escaped once before and
was recaptured the next day after
he got away by Sheriff Snutt.
After being brought back to the
jail he was placed in the steel
cage. This worried him greatly
and he commenced to feign in.
sanity. To Jailer Hill Fehrman
told many weird stories of mid
night ghastly visitors, who came
to his cell, and their white robes
and ghostly appearances made life
a burden to bim.
The old man played his part so
well that he was given consider
able liberty during the day time.
He also talked considerable about
how foolish he was for attempting
to escape and frequently stated
that ha would not leave the jail
again if the whole back end of the
building were knocked out.
It now appears that the wife
beating charge was only a small
part of his troubles, and that he
was anxious to escape the peni
tentiary from another charge.
E. F. Bolen, who resides on a
homestead between Hardman and
Spray, was in the city thie week
and givee some light as to Fehr
man's fears.
Mr. Boleu formerly resided at
St. John's. Last year he took up
a homestead in the vicinity of
Fehrman's place and built a com
fortable residence. After building
the house he took out furniture
aud provisions and had everything
comfortnbly fixed for his family j
which he was going to move on to
the place.
Soon after going back to St
Johns after his family, Mr. Bolen
received the word that his house
had been destroyed by fire. Com
ing oacK no round tnat every
thing was gonp, not a vestige of
the house or contents remained,
and ashes told the story.
Since the arrest of Fehrman,
charged with beating his wife,
Mr. Bolen got word that the con
tents of his house which he
thought had been burned could be
found in Fehrman's home. Going
to the Fehrman place, Mr. Bolen
found nearly all of his furniture,
in fact, nearly everything that bis
house contained with the excep
tion of the provisions.
Mr. Bolen stated that if Fehr
man is recaptured, he will enter a
complaint of arson and burglary
against him.
Pearl Sbamhart, while ergaed
in hauling wheat for Noah Clark,
of Eight-Mile, was run over by
one of the wheels of the wagon
and seriously hurt last Monday.
Mr. Shamhart was driving a
four-horse te&m with a load of
wheat and when near the home of
Mr. Mason on Rhea creek, some of
the sacks on the front end of the
load began to slip, lie got down
and while pushing back the sacks
one of the wheel horses kicked at
him. He again attempted to ad
just the loose sacks and the horse
kicked again. This frightened
the team and the horses made a
quick start to run. In attempting
to get the linns, Mr. Shamhart was
strnok with the hub of a frout
wheel and knocked down. Before
he could get out of the 'way the
hind wheel passed over both of his
legs. The left leg was badly
fractured near the hip.
He was taken to lone and
brought to the Heppner Sanitar
ium by Dr. Bruce, of lone, He is
now at the Sanitarium where he is
resting well when seen by a
Gazette representative.
After getting away the team ran
about four miles down the load.
The frightened animals while mak
ing the run met a lady drivicg a
team, and remarkable to relate,
the runaway team turned out of
the road, making a successful turn
and getting back into the road
finally stopping without any dam
age to the outfit.

To the Gazette:
I wish to state through the columns
of yonr paper that I am not an aspirant
for re-election as sheriff', and that I
shall not be a candidate for re-nomination
at next spring's direct primaries.
The object of making this declaration
so early is to enable the taxpayers and
law-abiding people of Morrow eounty
(scoresof whom are already urging me
to become'a candidate for a third term,
and to whom I owe my two elections)
to select or figure upon some one e'se to
take the office of sheriff after the first of
next July.
A grfat majority of the p ople of Mor
row co n y stand for law and onlt-r, and
they will see to it that no man is
elected sheriff who is known to be a
tool of any unFcrupulons ring or c'ique,
who is in sympathy with the criminal
element, nor wno win not Btaru Fiiuare
up for the enforcement of the law. The
people will no longer allow theee law
breaking rings to dictate who the peace
officers of Morrow county shall be.
That day has gODe by.
Taking our most successful politi
cians as examples, there is very little
in a political career that appeals to a
young man of ambition, and next spring
I shall most willingly step out and sur
render my star to some one elsa. My
hopes and ambitions lie along different
lines.
During the rema'nder of my term I
shall continue the policy of law en
forcement, and in the coming primaries
shall be pleased to support for this po
sition any n an who I think will do his
official duty, fearlessly and impartially,
and whom I know to be entirely free
from the law-breaking forces and their
sympathizers.
