Newspaper Page TextThe Heppner Gazette c,u;cav written KtbUahN March SO, im. ISSUED THURSDAY MORNING. Pred Warnock JEKtewd at the Postoitire nt Heppner Oregon, M fcond clnss mutter. XasaiaDAi March 21, 1907. Talk about yoar fiuo March weather. The weather cleik hag eertalulj beea kind. And now Liuolu Stiffens is in Rjrtlftinl with hia "muck-rake." It i -good thing to clean up the Lvcfc yards once iu awhile. Tecludl-42 tha recent withdraw Kfeeaade by President Roosevelt, f5t total forest reserve area of Oregon ia now 1G,552,72S acres. e a ciibh pi izo of 82) 00, written by Mrs. Geo. Whiteis, or this city, appeared first time in the Pendleton Promoter of last week. The article is able and oompleto. The resources, industries and op portunities of Morrow county are pictured in a relinble and impres sive manner. The actual facts are iuterwoven into an interesting story that will appeal to tbe read, er. The Gazette hopes to be able to give space to this article iu the near future. Xnd now that Harriman is about to ow Irs iron grip on the rnil Aads which ho formerly controlled, Jina Hill and the rest of the geop" will b? greatly pleased. Ttis too bad that the poor rail- have beeu asked to comi)lv xsritU the law. The feilow who lies been getting more than he de serve always makes the biggest lictv! when justice is demanded. "Tne railroad magnates are now apssjly charging the people of this cttry with being fools. Yesi isx& Hie people are just beginning fca fin3 out that they have been &o1al) allowing themselves to be robbed by the railroads. Judge Beatty, ol the United States District Court at Boiss Idnho, recently handed down a de cision that will be of interest to .11 interested in the question of forest reserves. Adigo Domingo, a sheepman, drove his sheep onto a forest reserve without a permit, contrary' to the forest regulations. He was indicted and the case went to trial. Domingo interposed a demurrer, claiming that the forest reserve law is invalid, insofar as it authorizes the Secretary of Agri culture to make such regulations for gi-iizing in reserves, the con tention being that the act attempts to rest legislative power in the Secretary. Judge Beatty over ruled the demurrer, thus uphold ing the forestry law. Tor the improvement of agricul tural conditions in Morrow county, there ia a groat field. The con version of the desert looking sands Ht Irrigon into green, productive, and profit bearing fields, serves as aa a good illustration as to what can bo accomplished with the ap plication of energy and brains when applied to the creat, but dormant resources of Morrow county. Every town in this county should encourage such meetings. Exchange experiences. Ask ques tious. Let us try and arrange for a farmers' meeting at Heppner. WHY NOT OltlUMZE? The Drejon Land & Water Co. fcxiWt mailed 5,000 circulars to Eastern parties. Last week TJma 4&Ra -county sent 5000 pamphlets ta tie Harriman Immigration Bu. ream, with headquarters at Omaha, fax distribution. This is enter i thai will bring results. qpen river bill appropriat ;S 125 ,000 for the improvement t? ffee Snake and Columbia rivers, pK33 the Washington legislature. Ot Lrtmcht'd thousand dollars will t sed for the improAement of tfce Snake River below Riparia, aol tbe balance of the appropria tes will bo used for improving "ffbft Columbia above' Celilo. This i.good -start and will be money wX spent. Tbe Gazette has received tbe in Xo&riii edition of the Morning Sgi8tcr, of Eugene. The paper eeotuns "t0 pages, composed of well written articles and half tone Ilkstration3, giving the reader a great amotrot of information about t.k-9 fosy city of Eugene and Lane coosf y an -general. Tbe edition ssdfosts great credit upon the en e5s9 df the Register. Tbe talk of panic by the rail SHd magnates is beginning to be looked upon lightly by the people. Qaaat papers with wide circulation keeping the people informed a Ho the actual conditions of bus iness in the country. So long as people read such papers as the Otegonian, with its powerful edi-t-ccisix, -srjowinj up the motives of tte railroads, and depicting the x-t conditions, there will be no ijg card and coLsequently no Lift week's ii sue of the Pend letoea Prjmoier contained a writeup of Harrow county wLich occupied tlie viiole. front pige and a ouple rJL iui'ida columns. The editor of f&e Vcocnobcr has the well earned title, at teiLg the biggest booster in TZvizin O.f-giL. Morrow and TZzz'A'.lIz couuiks v. cu!d be better n X tuny LaI i A.-, booiteid like IMr. IViliU. TLe Promoter ought t have more subscribers in Mor rnf county. We ought to show sijjK.-iation of the effort3 of this Hera's to you Urother tt'iKk. The grain growers of the state of Washington have a strong as sociation. The president, E. N. McCnw visited Pendleton last week for the purpose of merging the Umatilla Wheat Growers' As sociation with the Washington or ganization, Mr. McCaw met with much encouragement at PeDdleton and will return soon to meet with the incorporators and tbe farmers when a union of the two organiza tions will be consumated. Mr. McCaw states that the Washing ton farmers are beginning to real ize that if they cope successfully with organized opposition they must meet it with organization. Morrow county, with moie wheat per capita than any other county in the state of Oregon, is absolutely without any organiza tion of the farmers. Certainly these conditions ought to stimu late interest in wheat growing, and the protection of wheat growing interests here. If orgonization in the state of Washington, and Umatilla county will bring results that are beneficial to the agricul turists of those districts, why not try it in Morrow county. There would be everything to gain and nothing to lose. Organize, join the Umatilla association and the Washington association and others. Get big enough to force recogni tion. - The question of buying grain sacks is just now an important issue with the farmer. Every farmer knows that he has been forced to pay exorbitant prices for gram bags and also to look pleas ant about it. The Umatilla association is now taking steps to buy grain bags in arge quantities and get a reduc tion in price. Morrow county farmers will be asked to help in tbis effort to get cheaper sacks. The Gazette believes that it is possible to get cheaper sacks, but then we must do something. THE IIO.nUSTEADGB AND EST UKSI2UVES. FOR. TT6 fii'licle on MorrOTV county, Car which the Heppner Commercial The Irrigon Irrigator speaks very highly of the farmrrs' insti tute held at Irrigon, Saturday of ! last week. The meelinz was co ducted by )r. James Withycombe, j Professors Lewis and Braille-, of ! the Corvallis experimental station, Hiid A. I. Mason, a prominent aft,,) grower, of Hood River. ' Questions of vital importance; werj discussed, and the people of frri 'on were benefitted bv tbe dis semination of knowledge gained by practical men who have given years of attention to scientific re search in agricultural pursuits. j Such meetings should be encour-! aged not only by the people! actually engaged in tilling the soil,, iii t a oui ny everyoofiy, because we are all dependent opon agriculture. The Eugene Register is opposed to what it terms "the wholesale setting aside of forest lands into reserves as will withhold from set tlers their rights to take up such lands and thereby help to develop tbe country." The Register like a great many other people and newspapers are making statements without foun dation of fact. The erroneous idea of many people wpo have not investigated, that a forest reserve bottles up or builds a prohibitive wall around the withdrawals is common. A forest reserve does not lake away a single right from the home steader, or settler. In fact, the re serve policy has caused the pas sage of acts that give additional rights that settlers did not have prior to the creation of forest re serves. Any agricultural land witnin the limits of a reserve can be filed upon under the home stead law just the same as ever. Another advantage. All that have exercised or lost their homestead rights are granted an additional homestead right of entry by com plying with the homestead law and pa ing $2.50 per acre at the time of making final proof. Stll another great advantage. A settler can list and describe his homestead by metes and bounds, thus being able to pick out 160 acres along a creek bottom, or other place, using all kinds of ir regular lines .iu order to get the best lands, net being forced to go by section and quarter section lines as heretofore and take rocky or rough lands in order to get a small tract of good land. Timber lands will not be sold, but tbe timber will be sold at a reasonable price. The quantity is limited and tbere are certain re etnotions for the preservation of tho forest. The ordinary locil sawmill can get a'.l the timber needed, but the big syndicate is shut out from gobbling all tbe tim ber, as the timber cannot be bought and held for speculative purposes. To sum the matter up, the home steader is given additional rights. The stockman is allowed to graze. The timber can be used and sold The forests are protected from the big land grabbers aDd from fires, and only reasonable restrictions are pkced upon the many abuses that have caused the institution of the forest reserve policy. When statistics show that th( auailable timber supply of the United States at the present rate of consumption will only Jast 30 years, is it not ti me that some ac tion should be taken? A Woman's Health Is a heritage too sacred to be experi mented with. For her peculiar and deli cate ailments only medicines of known composition and which contain no alco hol, narcotics, or other harmful or habit forming drugs should be employed.
