Thnt the opeu river ninvemeut it

by the report of the trauspoi tation
coaiiaittee of the Portland Cham

portion of which is produced in
this issue. A careful study ol
this report will not only show the

TtiMt thn prot ositiou is oue of
unusual beuelit to the Iuland Em
pire. A eomp.u i&'Vi ,.f freight rates o:

at the CaecadrB in 1S0 shows a
reduction in some instance of .'JCO

river transportation.
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. To help
ia this end the portage road was radicals, one can make a very great
r. , i I m, , number of words, thanks to the prac-
financed and built and a hue on,. . . , ... , i
independent steamers has been ,
put in operation and others will be .
.j.i.i ;i m.l
petition will force n better ratej
than at present prevails, aud thej
present rate is a substantial re-j
t'.uction from what was charged be- j
fore the portige whs built. i
The preseut status is far from j
what is desirable, but it can bej
made to operate tovaid that end if j
f, p-opl, awake to the ne,d, ofj
i.e situation. W hat is needed ic j
tke speedy completion ot the ;
Dalles-Celilo canal which the
government has already began.
WHAT DOES IT JIVA'?
The extensive improvements at
the O. R & X. depot in Heppner
is the cause of much commeut and
fcpecalation by people who have !
. . . ,i
been paying attention to the work. ;
If It were only improvements of I

if the track between neppner and

c
case. 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.
It does not look reasonable that
the company would put in a big
oil tank at Heppner making it

ESPERANTO.

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

Why Don't Homescekers Come To Morrow
County?
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. Last year
J and vear before a number of good farmers bought wheat lands and paid for it
with tbe ri-st crop.
j Come to .Morrow county and investigate this land business.
