Mr. Jones after looking over the proposition decided that in order to get out the coal it would be nec essary to put in a pump, and with the other necessary preliminary work and expense to properly mine fhe coal wou d make it too expensive for the few people in terested in getting a winter's fuel supply. Mr. Jones who was brought up in the coal mines, having had long experience both in Wales and this country, was greatly impressed with the Willow creek field. He says that there is a large bodyof the finest bituminous coal and all that is Deeded is to mine it. Echo Interested. The Echo Register in epeakiDg of the fuel situation 6ays: "There is no use of Echo or Heppner being short on coal or paying exorbitant prices for the same, with a coal mine 35 miles from Echo and 20 from Heppner "In this connection, and with the prospect of a scarcity of f ue this fall, it is an opportune time to agitate the question of building a railroad to this mine. A stock company formed for this purpose would receive a good dividend up- on the money invested from the coal business alone, to say noth ing of the business of handling the gran and other crops in the vi cinity that the road would tra verse. "The matter is deserving of the attention of tfre commercial bodies of Heppner and Echo.

A North Yamhill man has an acre of prunes that has yielded $1000 a year for three yeais and will yield 150 this year. On lees than an acre of ground near The Dalles, a man will raise four tons of cabbage. On an acre he will clear $500. Less than two years aco a Myrtle creek man was trying to sell his SO acres of land for $4,000, but this year he has sold it in three tracts for 88,000. That Heppner has a first class steam laundry in the way of ma chinery, buildings, etc, is a ques tion not doubted. There is plenty of business to make the institution pay, and pay well, is the unanimous verdict, at least ten business men think it strong enough to invest their money. The laundry has changed hands several times, and has neyer been in the hands of a practical laun dryman. The former owners knew noth ing about the laundry business, the help knew less and consequent ly the only people satisfied were the proprietors of a Pendleton laundry where a good portion of the business was forced to go. Mr. Beaman becoming tired of the trials incident to such a con dition made public the announce ment that he would sell at a sac rifice or close up the business en tirely. The question of a fuel famine or other minor matteis can be looked upon, lightly but the idea ot wearing soiled linen was not to be stood for. C. C. Patterson, A. M. Slocum. W. E. Walbridge, P. O. Borg, Os car Bore, J. R. Simons. Albert Williams, O. S. Andrews, Dr Leach, and S. E. Notson are now owners of the laundry. The company will be incorpor ated, the necessary papers having already been sent to the Secretary of State. An,' experienced laundryman has been secured , from Walla Walla and everything is running in good shape. The wool season for the year 1907 is now a thing of the past in Morrow county as well as the spring shipping and selling season for 6heep. The last of the wool was shipped from the warehouse of the Mor row Warehouse Milling company this week. About 2,500,000 pounds passed through the Heppner warehouses while half a million pounds of the lower country wools were shipped from other points on the Heppner branch. The bulk of the wool was sold around 19 1-2 cents per pound. There was a large sale of sheep owing to the unusual high prices offered for sheep. About 90,000 sheep have been shipped and trailed out of the county this season. Taking it all around 1907 has been one of the most prosperous years in the history of the sheep business.' The lambing season was very successful owing to the favorable climatic conditions and the big prices for both wool and sheep have put large profits into the pockets of the sheepmen. The wool season all over thn state is now practically closed. Tha last big sale was at Elgin where 400,000 pounds were recently sold at prices ranging from 18 to 20 5-S cents per pound. About two thirds of the clip tf Wallowa and Union counties have been previously dis posed of at private sale at an av eiageof about 19 cents, so the growers who held for the sealed bid sales were well pleased with the result Crops Well Matured and Beyond Danger. The Yield Will be Equal to the Blr Crop of lSOl.rtuallty .Never Wa Itettcr. Harvest is now general in the lone and Lexington wheat belts and will soon be 'general all over the county. This is the first year that com bines have been taking a promin ent part in harvesting the grain. There are now several in operation and it is said that these machines will take the placa of the header od the larger ranches. For maturing wheat and for harvest work the weather is all that can be desired. From all over the county re ports are flattering. County Assessor Conner who owns a big wheat ranch in the lone wheat belt visited his place last Sunday. He brought back a sample of fall club wheat, a sample of Early Wilbur spring wheat and also 60me volunteer. The wheat was all ripe and ready to cut. The heads were large aDd exceptionally well filled with wheat of first quality. Mr. Conner says tnat be was not only pleased but surprised when ha looked over his 410 acres of grain. Qe says that all through jvhere be visited wheat looks good. Ha thinks that the yield will equal the bumper crop of 1S91. NOTICE FOR PUBLICATION. Department of the Interior.

This is ot utmost impor tance because of the harmful ingredients used in many cases. Royal Baking Towder is known to be tLe only bp.kine powder made of lioval Orape Cream of Tartar, and this no doobt explains its greatly increased sale here. Careful housekeepers are taking ad vantage of the protection which th e Laws afford, and are examining all the reading matter on the back of the label before adopting any brand for use in the home. When in place of the words Cmam of Tartar the words alum" "aluminum" or "phosphate of lime" appear among the ingredents, they heed the warning and avoid baking powders containing these substitutes.
