Manv people are out of both wood and coal in the city at the present time and the matter of getting a supply even for guiuraer j is not an easy task, while the j question of getting a supply for winter is anything but encourag ing. Coal dealers report that they can get no encouragement from any of the mines, and even if they cotrld get coal at the mines, to get cars to transport it is doubtful. A few cars are being shipped in by private parties but it seems that the man who is able to get a car was born under a lucky star. A small amount of mountain wood is being hauled which goes like hot cakes. That there is a great coal field of high quality coal within 20 miles of Heppner is a well known fact, but to get it here is the ques tion. A movement is now under way to relieve the fuel shortage by freighting coal frorj the Wil low creek coal mines. A mining engineer has been written to and the plan is to engage miners and mine the coal and haul it down The first thing will be to ascertain the number of tons that can be used and if possible the miners will be put to work.

MAY STREET . . . HEPPNER That the Heppner poBtoffice quarters are entirely too small and inadequate to the demands of the business, is a well known fact. The rooms are small, dingy, and the light is poor, while the fittings and fixtures are almost disgrace ful. While the business has grown with the pace of a prosper ous country and town, the ear marks of the old stage station still remain in the appearance of the present fixtures and quarters. G, C. Lattimer, of Portland, a postal inspector was in the city this wk. Mr. Lattimer is de termined to have a better place for the local oflice and the matter has already been taken up with the department. ENGLISH AND AMER ICAN LITERATURE Dr. Herbert Silverwood, the gov ernment stock inspector, who has been in Morrow county this sea son inspecting stock and superin tending the dipping of sheep, will leave for Portland next Sunday morning having completed his work in this county for the season. Dr. Silver wood came to borrow county on May 11. He has been active in the discharge of his duties since that time, having rid den over 250 miles on horseback in covering the county in inspec tion work. He has passed upon over 150,000 head of sheep all which have been dipped with the exception of a few small pet bands. The doctor states that Morrow county sheep are in fine condition, there being very little scab infection, considering the large number of sheep in the county. Only three or four bands were found to bd diseased. .In Bpeaking of the care and handling of sheep the inspector stated that while there were many sheds built in the proper manner there are also a lot of sheds that are too low and unsanitary for the lack of ventilation and proper light. He states that to get rid of dis ease and keep clear of infection, the sheep must be handled on sari tary principles. Sheds and cor rals must be sprayed and kept clean. Sheds should be built bo that they can be plowed, and also that there will be a good circula tion of pure air and plenty of light. Dr. 'Silverwood states that he would advise the mixing of sul phur with salt as the sulphur is a good disinfectant and will act as a preventative. He says that when the scab is once thoroughly eliminated there will be no more trouble if the sheep are handled on hygienic principles. Morrow County.

These fakirs have so far eluded the pay ment of this license, although they are taking orders and have a car load of fancy looking vehicles at the depot at the present time. Under a provision of the inter state commerce law, it is lawful for a solicitor to go in advance and take orders and afterward ship the articles to the individual purchas ers. The fakirs are trying to es cape the payment of the 8200 li cense through this loophole. Got i,cary of one Sale.

Definite action will soon be taken in relation to the complaint of Morrow county shippers about the wheat rate to Portland. In a letter from the Oregon Railroad Commission signed by Commissioner West, to the Secretary of the Heppner Commercial Club, Mr. West savs: ivestigate and soon found that he could get a better buggy from Gil liam & Bisbee for $115.00. The fakir got leary of the deal when he found that he was trapped and hunting up the farmer gave him his money back. The fakirs are asking $160 for wagons when Heppner dealers are selling better wagonB for $125. A hack was sold for $160 that oould be bought in Heppner for $115. The fakirs are at big expense and making princely salaries, and consequently must get big prices. It must all come from vehicles. Pay no tmn. premiums than any other Western breeder.
