The H ppner Iron Foundry which was recently installed by Klein & Ash- baugh, is now in complete running order and some good work is being turned out A verv difficult casting was made for the Gazette's press room which is very satisfactory and woulJ be a credit to any foundry also showing mechanical skill. A foundry is something that Heppner has needed for a long time. It will be a great convenience and will be a saving in both money and time, when castings are needed. It is home industry and enterprise that should be encouraged and patrouized. J. A. McLaughlin, proprietor of the Gardane coal mines, who was severely cot by a barbed wire fence some time ago, almost losing his foot in an accident, is greatly im proved. While returning home from Butter creek a few daye ago, his horse became frightened aud ran into a wire fence, tearing the flesh from one of his feet and otherwise severely cutting him. East Oregouian. lien Swaggart was in the city Monday. Mr. Swaggart has jus! returned from a trip into Sherman county where he has been baying jinnies for his stock ranch. Mr. Swaggart informs the Gazette that he has about completed the neces sary arrangements for his big stock sale which he expects to pull off in Heppner on the first and second of March. In this sale he expects to offer for sale at public auction about 200 head of horses and iiiules. He will also put up six or eight jacks. This will be the biggest auction sale of stock ever pulled off in Morrow county, and. Mr. Swaggart expects a number of outside buyers to be present. His horses will, include all classes, lie reports that his stock is all do ing well on the ranch this winter. L. P.

These beautiful birds come to feed on the seeds from ornamental and snaae trees and do not do any damage. The dog poiiouer has again ap peared in f f eppuer and several valuable dogs were poisoned lhis week. A blooded hunting dog be longing to Wm. Cowios, which was chained up in Mr. Cowins' lot, was among the victima. Peculiar winter weather this. The warm chinook has spoiled the sleighing and the fun of coasting. The ground is now almost bare on the lower altitudes, while up in the Blue mountains the snow is deeper than it has been for years at this time of year. Mr. and Mrs. A. L.

The best record made in tax collection heretofore was 659,000, while for the yearjnst ended the grand total of $70,000 was made. This is considered very satisfactory by the officers, and no doubt equally so to citizens acd tax payers generally. Grant County News.

The first snow of this winter ap peared thereo n the 2Gth of last November and has never entirely disappeared since that time. As j et, stock has not suffered, and there have been no losses. Stock men generally are well supplied with feed. IlOini: OF COMMERCIAL. CLX'B. l Worknn llaiidtonie New Ilnlldlitg Will Soon be Commenced. un mill matlock'a Recital. Mrs. S.
