Acother pd'liucnt point is it: the contrast between the1 rates on the present opeu river to The Dalles ami the rates for an equal distance above The Dalles where there is no competition. The rates from The Dalles to Umatilla are from 100 to 500 per cent. ; higher than from The Dalles to Portland. The object of the Open River Association is to briny about for the whole Columbia liver basin the results that have been worked cut on the lower river.

The company ia putting in an oil tank plant with every con venience, which will cost thous ands of dollars. Ihistankis big enough to hold enough oil for several branch line's like the Heppner branch.

Books for the study of Esperanto are Bow printed ia twenty-two dlffereut languages. They publish about twenty-five journals In the new ldiotu, one of them of a strictly scientific character. Several continental papers, occasional ly or regularly, otter to their readers an article In Esperanto. Esperantlst clubs or societies are to be found al most everywhere. The one in Paris counts no less than 3,000 members, while those in cities like Marseilles, Lyons, Bordeaux, Havre. Lille, and so forth, are also of considerable size. Courses In Esperanto are offered not only iu clubroonis, but In public insti tutions as well. A few commercial schools have it on their programmes as a free elective. In the University of Dijon they hare organized an even ing class, which is said to be well at tended. Not long ag : Professor Carnot of the national engineering school (Ecole des Mines), in Paris, said publicly that he! was thinking of introducing Esperanto: j the regular of students. Iu England thiy have adopted tlit mot nod of tuition by correspondence. Esperan to lias already proved useful for pro viding reading for the blind. A sys- to lb? new language. Many commcr - cial firms use it for international tele- graphic communications. Several em- pby advertisements in Espeiauto and rind that it pays.

Most ;i"tjj,l who patronize the Pull man cars have no coie'iition f the enormous profits rcrruin to the com pany, says a New York letter. Tlie net earnings of a sleper ou an ordinary run are frru Spi.K t Y2St a year. or about two-thirds of tbe cost of the car. On limited trains between New York and rhlcaBo the net earnings are ns bieh as $18,000 a year. The miloajre paid by the railroads is practically suf ficient to cover all the expanse of op eration.

Morrow county produces more wealth par capita than any other county in the state of Oieicon. Our territory within county lines is 75 miles ic length by 35 miles in width, Urge enough for a state, but with not enough population for a good sized country village. Only 5000 people in tbe county. Every year we grow about 1,000,000 bushels of wheat. This is worth about 8700.O0C W bare about 225.000 besd of while the wool from these sheep wilt sell for 8360,000. Then there are horses and cattle worth at east a half a million more. These are the main items In the wealth producers. It don't take much figuring when you look at these figures to come to tbe conclusion that Morrow county people make some money. We bave the soil, the ilimte and the goods to make good. Morrow county's climate is pleasant and healthful. Morrow county people are prosperous. Morrow county people bare money. Here in the to a of Heppner we have two banks. Tbe First National in publish ed statements shows deposits running from half a mil. ion dollar up. Both banks iMve a big business. Heppner can show the kutiest bank deposits of any town of its cizo in the Northwest, and it should be remembered that Lexington, nine miles y, and lone, 18 miles from Heppner both have banks doing a good business. This looks like Morrow county peopla have money. But look here, almost half the population of Morrow county reside in the towns. Thin leaves only betweeu 3,000 and 4,000 people in a territory 75 miles in leiiutti by 35 miles in wealth. Don't you think there is room for more people. Ten or twelve years ago land in Morrow county went begging at from $100 to S250 foi a uuaiter section. Five yea's ajio this land had looked up to $15.00 and $7.00 per acre. Today this land is wo th $15 per acre with a few of the choicest lots some times bringing per ec-e. Now tbe old timers are if tlii-- cheap land. They could have made a barrel of money. Over in tlie adjoinirjg county of Umatilla wheat lands today are worth from $50 to$75anacie. On the other side of us is Sherman county with wheat lands siei!in: from $25 up. Here we are between with just as good land land at $15 per I ae. Our i.nids are sure to go up in 1 ' M-'iiu wotlll,ir,K wl,y tnev dld uot buy Bome of ths $15 land. The propobition j '8 tlie Bame "" as il waa a few vears ago, but it takes more money.
