8eptl-Oct24 E. W. DAVIS, Register,
The Gazette is pleased to note
tlie success and prosperity of the
people of Morrow county.
And why not, for tba Gazette ia
enjoying a share of this prosperity.
Morrow county people prod ace
more wealth per capita than any
other county in the state of Oregon,
The thermometer of the business
interests of a town are its banks.
In speaking of the Bank of Ilepp-
ner, tbis is an institution tnat is
worthy of notice.
The Bank 6f Heppner was or
ganized in August, 1904. The
original capital stock was 25,000,
but it was only a short time until
it was found that the great in
crease of business made it profit
able to iucrease the stock to $50,
000. V S. Wharton, the cashier, in
forms the Gazette that the net in
crease of the deposits of the Bank
of Heppner for the past sis months
hare amounted to more than 52i
per cent. '
Owing to the great increase in
business and encouragement given
by Morrow county people, Mr.
Wharton feels that this bank ought
to be a strictly Morrow county in
stitution, and to gain this end has
secured personal control of the
stock of the bank. In this he has
been successful and has succeeded
in placing a majority of the stock
with people of this county.
One of Morrow county's sub
stantial citizens who has recently
become heavily interested in the
Bank of Heppner is iV. O. Minor.
Mr. Minor as a breeder of fine
stock, business man and capitalist,
needs no introduction to the people
of Morrow county. Mr. Minor is a
man of large interests in the coun
ty and the stock holders of the
bank have decided to place him at
the head of the institution in the
chair of president.

Alwcai rallabla Tba WaekJ Oregon!
Heppner will, this season, handle
400,000 bushels of wheat.
The long cherished idea that
Heppner would some day handle
a large amount of wheat is today,
before it is hardly realized, an ab
solute fact.
And still there are thousand of
acres of rich lands tributary that
have never been plowed.
Owing to Morrow county's im
mense crop and the backward har
vest caused by unfavorable weath
er, scarcity of labor and machin
ery to handle the big crop, mak
ing harvest very late, it is almost
impossible at this time to fget any
thiug like an accurate estimate of
the crop of the entire county.
In estimating the yield of the
Heppner district, the estimate is
based upon the actual number of
sacks that have been engaged and
have been taken out by the farm
er?. iield8 m almost every in
stance have been going bej onj the
estimates of the farmers prior to
threshing and it is not unlikely
that the present estimate will be
swilled considerably when the
wheat is threshed.
This ' is fthe first season that
sicks have ever been received in
H ppner in car load lots.
It is said that some of the farm
ers will be until next harvest in
getting tbis ) ear's crop to market
The seeding season is now here
and it will rustle many of the
farmers to get their grain threshed
and the fall seeding done before
winter sets in. This will leave a
number of farmers with fonr and
five thousand sacks of wheat with
none hauled to market when fcsnow
flies.
The heavy rains of the past
week have been discouraging. Har
vest operations that are already
late have been seriously retarded.
While the damage has not been
great, still there will be a Blight
loss and future conditions depend
entirely npon the weather.

derrick table and the setting

loss in the neighborhood of $3500.
Mr. Brenner who has a large
crop himself with a number of
neighbors depending on him to
thresh their grain was not daunted
by the heavy Io38 and immediately
left for Walla Walla where lie will
buy a new outfit which will ba put
in operation just as soon as it is
possible to get it here.
J. C. White's steam outfit was
burned this week also in the Isl
ington country. The Gazette is
unable to learn but few particulars
of the loss. It seems that the fire
started while the crew was at
dinner, the origin of the fire com
ing from a spark from the engine.
It is said that there was no in
surance with either loss.

ple of Heppner. Miss Morgan is

BIGGS LOCAL
TO PENDLETON
Extension of Local Train Ordered
Br The Railroad
Commission.
nio.nsox.n ktis
James Thomson and Mrs. Agnes
Curtis, both of this city, were
married in Seattle, the fore part of
the week.
Mrs. Curtis is a well known and
popular lady and has many friends
in this city.
Mr. Thomson is a member of the
firm of Thomson Bros, and is a
successful business man in this
city.
E. A. Miller, of Fox, was in the
city Saturday, pn his way to the
Willamette Valley.
Ab a climax to the agitation for better
train service on the O. R. k N. system,
the Oregon railroad commission has
ordered No. 8, the B'ges local passenger
tratn, extended to Pendleton, as a daily
local train, to be reasonably equipped
to handle the local travel with comfort
and to make connections with branch
line trains at Biggs, Arlington and
Heppner Junction.
This order is a surprise to both the
people of Eastern Oregon and the O. R.
& N., as it has been supposed all along
that the addition of a clean coacb to
train No. 1 at Pendleton, for the a scorn -modation
of local travel, was an end to
the matter at present at least, says the
EastOregonian.
However, since the colonist rash has
started, not only have main line trains
been crowded to the limit, but they
have also been very much behind tbeir
schedules, and 'it is supposed that
the commission has acted on its own
initiative, in ordering the Biggs local
extended to Pendleton to relieve the
situation.
What the O. R. & N. company will
do in tbe matter is problematical. The
order of the railroad commission gives
the company 30 days in which to ilace
the train in service, and it is gederally
believed that the matter will be res'eted
and the railroad commission s authority
tested in the courts.

The readers of this paper will be pleased to
learn that there in at least one dreaded disenee
science has been able to cure in all its sti'.ges
and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the
or ly positive cure now known to the medical
fraternity. Catarrh being a Constitutional dis
ease, requires a Constlrniional treatment.
Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly npon the blood and mncnons surfaces
ot the system, thereby destroying the founda
tion of the disease, and Riving the patient
strength by building op the constitution and as.
sieting nators in doing its work. The proprie
tors have so much faith in Its curative powers
that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any

Among the samples being eeot'
are oats seven feet in heigfetlv
grown by D. Cox that yielded Si
bushels to the acre. Whi'e the-.
wheat exhibit both in the berry

of the best specimens were o
saved. Take for instance, wheat1
grown by Winnard Broa fJa.S-.
yielded as high as 68 bushels to
the acre was not sent owing to tbe
fact that none of this wheat ia the
