Ur experiences at homo are what
make Statement No. 1 popular in
Oregon. 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

not been given a tryout yet. Bet

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!

W. B. Potter, of Spray, is being
favorably heard throughout this
district as a candidate in the com
Tn flection for representative,
says the Condon Globe. The peo
ple in his district will make no
mistake in sending Mr. Potter to
the legislature.

property in the state of Oregoo,
after having been equalized by
coanty boards of equalization and
eiamarized by the secretary of
t&te -amounts to 8581,558,918.
Tfeis is greater by over $154,000,000

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.
