The Heppner Gazette Established March SO, 1883. ISSUED THURSDAY MORNING. Fred Warnock Kntered at the Poatoffice at Heppner Oregon, a second-class matter. Thubsdat Feb. 1, 1906 lone is to have a braes band The . Proclaimer can furnish enough wind to blow the whole thing. This is remarkable weather for midwinter. Nature seems to have moved a little ahead of the calen dar. Flowers are blooming on the hills, buds are bursting forth and spring is here in reality if not in season. That new house of the Heppner Commercial Club will be aswel affair. The construction of the building is well under way and will soon be finished. The Com tnereial club is an active working body and Heppner will feel Ihe re sults of the labor of enterprising citizens. Senator DePew is today certain ly a 6orry spectacle. When he was trusted and respected his life was full of happiness, but the fact that he has been shown up as a big grafter in the Equitable in surance investigation, is more than he can stand. Dispatches state that he is a broken-down old man, as much alone in New York City as if he were on a desert island, Oat of business, out of society 8hunned by his friends, assailed by the public. His fortune im paired, bis health broken, and ru mors afloat that his mind is giving way. He has been forced to an. nounoe his retirement from the board of directors in 79 companies rail toad and industrial. DePew is now out of everything and out to stay. WOMEN AND POLITICS. The Oregon State Association opposed to the extension of the suffrage to women, is sending out a protest against the ptoposed woman suffrage movement Among a list of reasons for opposition to impose the obligation of suffrage upon the women, the following are offered : "Because the need of Amer ica is not an increased quant ity, but an improved quality, of the vote and there is no adequate leason to believe that woman's suf frage by doubling tne vote will improve the quality. Because the energies of women are engrossed by their ptesent duties and in terests, from which men cannot re lieve them, and it is better for the community that they devote their energies to the more efficient per formance of their present work than divert them to new fields of activity." The above reasons offer food for thought for many of the es timable ladies who are clamoring for the privilege to take a hand in politic. The reformation of man kind will not and cannot be brought about by voting. The simple act of women voting, alone, in itself is of little consequence, but the conditions that would aris9 from the act and the results that would follow would be far reaching. Women are possessed of human nature as well as men and tney cannot enter the band wagon of political workings with out absorbing and retaining at least a little of the attendant Blime that is ever prevalent It must be admitted that women occupy a position that men reepf-ct and look up to. Would they raise the men to their level or would they be brought down a little. The latter is more in harmony with human nature. In the statement of greater devotion to the more efficient per formance of their present work than divert them to new fields of activity, much is said. WEAK POINT IN INITIATIVE. To vote intelligently on all ques tions at the next election will re quire a lot of etady and careful consideration by every voter. A dispatoh from Salem to the Oregonian sajs: The danger arising from the multiplicity of initiative measures, two of them in some instances bearing upon the same subject, is beooming apparent to all who give the matter consideration, and there are many who fear the outcome. It has been asserted by oue high in authority that unless great care shall be exercised, serious compli cations are almost certain to arise which will make a special session of the Legislature neces sary to straighten out some legis lative tangles. It is feared that because so many initiative meas ures are being proposed a great number of people will not clearly understand the effect of their bal lots and that two conflicting laws may be enacted. The two measures which most seriously conflict in their provision are the bills drafted by the Grange and by the tax committee of the Willamette Valley Development League. Both cover in their main features the same general subject but differ in detail. Under the initiative plan, both might be adopted at the same time and both becoming laws, there would be no way to determine which must be. observed. The fear expressed is, that with so many measures submitted, the voters, or a large number of them will not vote against the measures they do Dot want, and thereby two propositions upon the same subject ujight be adopted, or that some to wnich full and careful attention has not been given might become laws. How two measures upon the same sucject could be adopted will be readily apparent There are, in round numbers, 100,000 voters in the state. A great many do not mark their ballots for all officers, and when laws or amend ments are submitted, a still larger number fail to vote upon these questions. A large proportion of those who fail to mark their bal- ots upon a given subject are peo ple who are either opposed to the measure or are not familiar with its provisions and do not wish to express an opinion. The affirma tive of the question therefore is a great advantage in the balloting. If, therefore, those who favor the Orange gross-earnings tax measure vote for it and do not vote against the Development league bill, and those who f&vor the De velopment League bill vote for it and do not vote against the Grange bill, while a considerable number vote for both bills, because they have attractive titles, both might be adopted. With 100,000 voters in the state, only 60,000 might mark their ballots for these bills and if each received an affirmative voe of over 30,000 they would both be adopted. This is also true of the state printer amrnd ments. iiecause tnere are so many measures presented, and experi ence has 6hown that peop'e will not take the time and trouble to study them carefully, there is a fear that conflicting laws will be adopted. PENDING AMENDMENTS. The Willamette Development League measure to tax gross earnings of telephone, telegraph and express companies. Grange bill, on the same subject with different provisions. Grange bill to license tax on sleeping, dining, buffet, palace, oil and refrigerator cars. Development League passes. Elective franchise for women. Flat salaries for state officers. Change in local option law. Purchase of Barlow wagon road. Oregon' Prison. Oregon has nad s penitentiary since 1851. The first state prison was located at Portland, and in 1S70 it was removed to Salem. SiDce the establishment of the prison there have been about 5230 received and ne opted for. There are now 406 inmates, 404 of them serving sentences and two men waiting death senteoce, but both caseb being on ap pesltothe supreme court- Of the 404 prisoners, three are women. This is not high water ratrk. There were 414 prisoners here October 12, when the United States prisoners were transf-red. No United States pris oners are kept here. The penitentiary has 283 acres rf deeded land. On account of the fact that one tract ie too far distant, that a good deal of it is ocenpied by the wind ings of Mill creek, and by the bindings, grounds and brick yard, less than2 00 aces are in cultivation. Tne authorities rent 200 acres in addition and p-ac'ic-ally all the vegatables used here are raised on this less than 400 acres of land. Also most of the fruit. The present management has bought some potatoes, but that is all. The stove foundry employs now 190 of the men. Some 55 have been worked on the public roads. Over 6000 days' work has ben put on the Marion county roads during the past year to be exact, just 6464 day's work. Besides this a good deal of work has been done on the road between the institution and the asvlum, and on other nearby roads, and in putting crushed rock around the in etitution. While the improvements were being made there, 10 to 12 men worked at the state fair grounds. A great deal of work has been done by the prisoners in helping witb the work of putting a new rof on the shops a new floor in the shop buildings, a new flume for water power, inside the walls and new walks throughout the ground Some $12,(100 have been expended in these improvements, besides the labor of the prisoners. A large number of prisoners are, of course, employed in tending the stock. milking, cooking, sweeping, Liundry work, making and mending clothes and shoes, etc., etc., in the endless details of caring for the small army of men al ways on hand. Ills Glory Greater. Washington, Jan. 27 A complete biography of Rear-Admiral Charles E. Clark, who commanded the battleship Oregon in the Spanish war, is eoon to be published in the Verroonter, a maga zine published in Admiral Clark's native state. This biography will give to the world for the first tme the com plete official correspondence between Admiral Clark and the Navy Depart ment and other unknown facta about the Oregon's famous trip around the Hom and her participation in the Santi ago fight. Some of these revelations will be sen sational, particularly that prt of the official correspondence which heretofore has been suppressed by the navy de partment. This correspondence shows that Admiral Cisrk made the trip from Rio Janeiro to join the American fleet solely on his own responsbility. The Navy Department feared that if the Oregon pushed northward without escort she might be captured by the Spanish fleet, whose where-abouts was than unknown, nd for this reason the department refused to take the respon sibility of ordering Admiral Clark away from Rio. .Having entire confidence in bis ship and men, Admiral Clark assumed the whole responsibility and sailed north ward. But for his fearlessness in taking 'he responsibility WANTED: by Chicago wholesale and mail order house, assistant manager (manor woman) for this county and adjoining territory.
