Harney County News. Tbe O. R. & N. Oo. has declared dividend of 75 per cent. There as still a little argument left for government control. Only a month more in which to regbte for the primaries and only one half of the voters of Morrow county registered. Better hurry. The spring colonist rates are now is effect ThU will bring a large number of hom seekers to Oregon. If we d ) i ot keep them it will be mostly our own fault. Why fo much howl about State ment Xo.l? The proposition hap not been given a tryout yet. Bet ter waft until we know something about it In th mean time no one be greatly injured. Horace JfcKiulej, the prince of lead eraft.r?, hna been sentenced 4 two years' imprisonment in the e.Dty j nil, end to pay a fine of $J,5GO. AIcKiuley laughed when tte Knew that AiciNeirs island was not to be bis abode. He had I&agli coming. . This "reform" basinpss laapret. ty good vocation. Tnere is big money in it. Ileney got between fifty and one hundred thousand dollars for his Oregon labors. Sup pose we place it at the lower figure, and allow that he worked here a year, wnicu is lar more time tnao he spent here. That is $50,000 per year, or as much as a United States senator gets for his six-year term, including mileage! We do not Bay that our. senators are underpaid, but we do say the Heney pay was i graft greater than any of the men he prosecuted received or tried to receive. Poor Old Mitchell was charged with taking fees of less i than $2,000. and Heney got at least 23,000 for prosecuting him! Great is "reform," and great are the "reformers!" Irrigon Irrigator.

OREGON The Baker City Herald says that i lj090,000 pounds of Grant county ' wool will be hauled to Austin and hipped to Baker City for the sales days Jnne 22 and July 11.' And all this will be brought about on oeount of a small redaction in the rate on wool from that city to east ern points. Baker City will have to show an entirelv different busi ness spirit toward the people of the John Day valley before that city will be made the wool shipping point for this section. Shaniko, Heppner and Pendleton will no doubt continue to control this very important trade until a railroad is tmEt through this county and then ve will have a wool market at home.
