Heppner BUckman, from up Oregon way, is cutting ire here in New Yoik I haven't discovered him. He is dis covering himself lie drew this cartoon for me to put in The Oreuonian. It is Kood for our feelings to know that an other man from Oregon is pushing on and up and well to the front in the rank" i f artists and writers in this maelstrom wpre name and fame are fought for. Homer Davenport, who loves his birthplace, Silverton. Or., better than any other spot on the face of the earth, has a name that is known as fur as civilization goes. lie used to draw lor The Oregonian. He now works nn the D.iil v Mail here at a fabulous salary, and oiily really enjoys himself at hi New Jersey farm. J,. I. Montague, who a few years ago was on the editorial start oi lhe Uregonian, another u.-egon boy, now has full charge of the Even ing Journal, one ot V. K. Hearst's moxt important issues. They are beginning to think in New Ym k that Oregon breeds good stuff in the man line. Here is another one of Oregon's sons, young Heppner Black man, born in Heppner, a son of Henry Black man (once Internal Revenue Col lector at Portland, and now Commis sioner from Oregon to the Jamestown h-'xpofition.) "Hep," as his friends call him, is a nephew of Henry Hepp ner, for whom the town of Heppner was named. "Hep" was born there 24 years ago. He has been here only three months and already his work is commanding attention in some of the most sagacieus editorial sanctums, Mr. Chamberlain, head of tbe Heard editoiial departments, sent for "Hep" the other day, but that is another story By the time this letter is published there will be something more to say on that topic. It was going to tell vou what "Hep" has accomplished during the little while tie has been in New York how he is successfully butting his artistic way into the newspaper field. He has the talent. He has the spunk. He has the grit. He has the energy. Thev are looking for such fellows all the time. Thpy are just as anxious to eet tbem as the fellows are to get placed. His ex perience tells volumes to all the ambi tious voung men and young women who have their eyes set on coming to a great city to seek their future Success i ahead of every one of them who will begin right and who is made of the right kind of stuff. It is no chance matter. It is a straight road, and I hope I can point a moral and transcribe a rule worth remembering by recounting the story of "Hep" Blackmau s nee in Gotham. Hep" was the first white boy born in Heppner after the town was incorpo rated. That occurred in 1882. His dad was Mayor of the town at tbe moment, so "Hep" was ushered into this world auspiciously. He graduated at the Heppner High School in 1899, and afterward attended the Portland High School; and subsequently took a course in Armstrong's Business College. Next he studied law at Heppner in tbe office of C. E Red field, and was ready to take lis law examination, but had not yet reached the age limit for eligibility. He worked as a typo on the Heppner Gazette under Colonel John Water in Ion Reddington, and in that publica tion appeared his first drawings. Then he went to San Francisco, where he worked as private secretary for Judge J. C. Cambeli for five years, ami during the same time studied art under the Partingtons, and, at length, he worked nights in the art-room of the San Fran cisco Call. Here is where he really got his first important start and began to show cleverness that counted in his comic cut' oris and ideas generally. I.l I'Vlitii;'.' y he started on his bril liant series of 'epitaphs" on well-known characters in the San Francisco Bulle tin, and just three weeks before the ! earthquake the flr6t of these fine, tell ing, strong and irresistably droll "tombstones" was published in the Bulletin. They were riming when the earthquake robbed the boy of all he had and all his chance in the Golden Gate city. Artist Cahill, also of the fated city, came to New York, and "Hep" came here, too, just three months ago. He 'lugged around cowboy pictures, limericks and comics of all sorts, and began to get a few things published. Then the World seemed to like him, lint it did not give his pictures enough space to show them up well. Other commissions cam.; in hIowIv, and quite a lot of work (completed as a free lance) was accep't'd here and there among the syndicates and the various art departments of the newspapers. Then a streak fif clar wenttier snd plain sailing toward real success came when ttie Telegram (Hih evening edition oi the Heiald) bgan to run his series of "epitapha," good, large and bold, and the series is making a decided hit now in New York. Each cartoon displays a well-known character at n et priminent in the public eye, as standing on a pedestal his own monument. The fig ure and the wnrding on the pediment give pit li snd gift to the cartoon. They had not been running long be fore as I remarked earlier in this letter, MontHgU'", ' f the Journal, wanted to see youhg Blaekrrjan, and Mr. Chamber lain, the big 'man of lhe whole Hearst shootingma'ch, is scheduled to talk with "Hep" about a permanent engage ment before fie.'-e words are p-inted. So, you s?e that "lie;' had to peddle around ms waen at lust, our lie pergp- veied, and now Mm leal peop'eaie sit ting up and taking notice "jf him. There is not a b-tier place to gain name and Jams then on a widely circu lating newepaper, and it is absolutely certain that the clever work rf this young Heppner boy will land him on top of the heap. It does not make much difference whether or not he ties up with the American and Journal, or the Woild, or the Herald, or goes it alone and executes commissions on his own hook. The quality of his work is 'he main point. He is succeeding, and his acquaintances in the Northwest ought to know it and rejoice. That is the wiy with all who come here to try their hand. If they are thorough and have the perseve-anc they st last will push their heads through the crust and reach the light of renown. The vast city, with all its myriad of activities, need not abscure th?ir vision, need not dishearten them. It is only necessary to have one great object, and stick to it. Then, always provided you haVe talent to begin with, yon will succeed, New York, December 20. -IiooMnp; n Ornr? Snvr.

When first beginning to work the horse after a prof.r.ctcd period of res? it is far better to ur.e hv. er.rernlly rui not exhaust his ambition.

If he Is sweating profusely raise the eoilar and other places where he Is likely to be galled, and do not let there l,e u "scald ed" place under tlie harness anywhere. When standing cover well with blan kets, and do not allow a horse to Gtand where there Is n draft of wind. Han dle carefully, clean thoroughly, feed ju diciously, and there wiil be but little cause for complaint on account of lack, of ambition or depreciation in value or a necessity for condition powders. Farm and Live Stock Journal. Chinese famine, Victoria, B. C., Jan. 9 The steamer Slunano Mam, which arrived today from Orient, brought furtbur advices re garding the appaling famine in Cen tral China. The extent of the famine area is bounded on the south by a line drawn from the sea through Huinan and along the Huai River in North Anhui, on the west by a line drawn from Ochou to Kweiten, north from the eastern corner of Hooan to the sea which bounds the eastern side. Tbe worst conditions are expeoted to set in after Chinese New Year in mid-February. The population affected is set at 10,000,000, of which Viceroy Tuan Fang estimates that 4,000,000 are in actual want, mostly starving. The famine area is about 40,000 square miles, em bracing between 20 and 30 large walled cities besides the scattered country population. The figures given from nine large cites show 800,000 starving refugees have already collected, with no couat of those who have migated south or congregated in walled cites outside the famine area. Mr. Bostwick, sent from Shanchai to investigate, says all these refugees may perish from starvation unless fed by goverment or public oharity. He esti mates the daily expenditure to feed the 4,000 000 now starving at $20,000, while the period of relief must be exteuded over some months. With tens of thousands of starving huddled in the walled cities it is feared epidemics will add to the horrors of famine. The North China Daily News, of Shanghai, publishes many telegrams from missionaries in the famine era. A typical one from Hsiu-houtu savs: "Half peon'e actually without pro visions dnilv and die. Manv leave country. Nnmberless brigandages mi. I murders. No local reliet hoped lor." Local Notes. Pare Bred Poultry. The farmer who does not give tn same attention to his poultry that he does to the other live stock on his farm is away behind the times. The pro gressive farmer, while he may not have pure bred poultry, has at least added pure blood to his flock by the introduc tion of pure bred males and has found that it was a good Investment. Having taken the first step on the road of progress, it Is only a matter of a short time when he will discard the mongrel and scmipure stuff and keep only pure bred stock. In fact, on many farms It would "be hard even now to find a mon grel fowl. Commercial Poultry. Hog Notes. , Clean pens for pigs and clean bed ding will do much to ward off lice and disease. A boar or sow that Is kept excessive ly fat on corn alone will rarely give satisfaction as a breeder. The sow that has nothing to recom mend her but a good pedigree should be fattened and marketed os soon as possible. Better bring In one or two young s:ows nt a time than to discard all of the old sows at one time. It Is a mistake to delay the regular and libera! feeding of the growing pigs. If you see no light ahead, nothing but poverty, deprivation and hard work all your life; if you think that you were destined to such a hard l:re, you cannot expect anything else than Uiat which you Iooii for. If, cn the other hand, no matter how poor you may be today, you can see a better future; if yon Leiiore ti:::t soma day you are going t o rise oat of hum drum work, that yon a:v g. ;ig to got up out of tbe basement of lire into tba drawing room, wlu re beauty, comfort n.id j:.y await ya; if you.- a.;.ibi:iou Li clean cut and yon keep your eye stead ily upon the goal which you hope t reach and fe.-'I eo:.?i.'Tci:t that you have the ability to attain it, you will accom plish something worth whiie. The di rection of yoar cfi'ort will follow your eye. If that looks up a3 well as on4 you will climb. That one quality of holding persist ently the faith in themselves and Dey er allowing anything to weaken the be lief that somehow they would accom plish what they undertook has been ta underlying principle of all great achievers. The great majority of mea and women who have given civilization a great uplift started poor and for many dark years saw no hope of ac complishing their ambition, but they kept on working and believing mat somehow a way would be opened. Think of what thhi attitude of hopeful ness and faith has done for the world' great Inventors how most of them plodded on through many years of dry, dreary drudgery before the light came, and the light would never have come but for their faith, hope and persistent endeavor. "What if they had listened to tfceli advisers! Even those who loved then tried to beg them to give up the fool ishness of coining their lives Into that which would never be practical or use ful. We are enjdylng today thousands of blessings, comforts and conveniences which have beeii bequeathed ns by those resolute souls who were obliged often to turn a deaf ear to the plead ings of those they loved best as tbey struggled on amid want and woe for many years.

When the Horse Rnns Away, When a horse Is running away It is then that the driver usually becomes as scared as the horse, and the runa way Is not helped much. The driver needs to keep his head at a time like this even though he should lose it at other times. What the driver needs to do is to pull vigorously on one line and then on the other with such rapid succession as to confuse the animal bo that his fear may be removed. A known runaway horse should be driv en with care. Farm Visitor. several times a.s cuister.'1 M. Marcillae is the latest aspirant ta attempt to reach the north pole In a balloon.
