Thus onlv can vou acouit yourselves as f m freemen and relieve us from fur ther effort to secure equality with our sons before the law." Abigail Scott Duniway. Mother of Native Sons, aud Pres iJeut Oregon State Equal Suffrage Association. WE ARE ALL. LAWMAKERS. The fact that we will have the opportunity to vote on nineteen measures and amendments at the ooming June election is a grand and glorious thought. Yes, sir, it will not be n. cess try for as to have t 'iat handle of "Hon." attached in order to make us all real lawmakers in the broadest sense of the word. Now just for an example, the Ga zette is in receipt of a big mani la envelope from Astoria. This en velope is surely a big one and it is filled to overflowing with argu ments for and against, measures bills, enclosures, type written let ters, appeals, warnings, and other 'important documents, aud from the best that we can get out of i af er a couple of days study and getting through a part of if, that the whole thing has some reference to salmon, sturgeoD, etc., that in habit the Columbia river. It ap. pears that some people are inter ested in one end of the river and Bonie other people are interested in the other end of the liver. Wheth er these "measures" are gotten up for the express benefit of a few cannerj men or a few fish wheel owners, the Gazette hasn't time to iiad out, but we presume that every other voter in thd state knows rJl abont it and will lot the matter ret at tti, for we can't spend all cur time on fish for there are 17 other laws ihnt must hi digested, 'e presump tbat all of thete pro posed measures have originated in philanthropic minds aud for the public cod, aud it would be an evil thought iuead, to think, any- furnishes, thing else. It ia charac'eri .tic cf the Oregon legislature not to put fjitu many Litis and li.wc, aud now "we'' and all of as can have a FhoW at law inakiug. If we get a few bad ones, well, we can make more and get rid of them aud fe til 1 Lave the glo rious thought of all being lawmakers. EUA1, StltKlUE. The Gazette is in receipt of a letter from Mrs. Abigail Scott Duniway, president of the Oregon State Equal Suffrage Association. While the Gazette is not an ad vocate of Vit equal suffrage move ment, wo will gladly publish AIrp, Duoiwy'a appeal out of respect foranhoLoret pioneer lady, and one who Las worked ho long and faithfully for the cause that she loves. Devotion to principle arjda keeu se'itse of duty is the grand motive that is still lingering with this pioneer in her declining years Mrs. Duni way's appeal to the voters follows: "Gentlemen, voters, eons, broth er?: I am growing old. But I can not rest until you have given us the victory. Every hour I spend in this service is a labor of love Every dollar I donate is a personal sacrifice. Uave the faitbful moth . its of Oregon not earned your af firmative votes for their full and free enfranchisement? You ought not to be afraid of us. "Vou are equipped with ballots. TVe ere net.

The "Market Day" system seems to be growing ia popularity very rapidly on the Pacific Coast and we believe its advent will be bene ficial to the farmer and merchant alike. The institution is not a creation of the present day and age, by any means. Centuries ago oar ancestors met in the public square to trade and barter on a stated day. The practice has al ways been maintained in certain countries and in taking it up now we are simply adopting into our economic life an institution handed down to ns by others. No differ ence, however, if it fits in to our advantage. Pendleton we believe was the first to hold a market' day in Oregon and they were so well pleased with the trial that it has become a permanent, event with them. Baker City, Freewater, Eu gene, Aehland, Caldwell Idaho, and others have taken up the plan with like success. The proposition is that on a stated day the bu)er and tie teller come from far and near to the appointed town, The Market Day never fails to bring a crowd. One farmer has a few fat steers to dispose of, another, a sec ond hand plow, and another comes with a load of garden truck. One man cemes to buy a work horse, another has need of a few bales of hay, and so they all meet with a good prospect of disposing of what they don't want or of purchasing on the open market what they have need for. Money changes hands and the merchant has a record breaking day. The question has ns social siae as well as its econo mic. The day when everybody goes to town would be a great day not only for the farmer himself but for hid wife and children. This is a matter of no small importance for one of the unattractive features of rural life ia the scant opportun ity for social mingling which it and any institution which tends to remedy this feature and make the life of the family on the farm brighter, happier and more inviting is an institution that deserves encouragement. Rural Spirit. ( Heppner will soon arrange for market days for the convenience of Morrow' county people. The question of organizing a vol unteer fire department in each ward in this city where hose carts are located, which was discussed at the last meeting of the city council, is a move of considerable importance and should be encour Hged by the citizens of Heppner. The residents nearest the hose carts by a little practice would be come familiar with the fire fighting apparatus, and would be much bet ter prepared to put out a fire when necessary. Iiiven a short delay at a critical time in waiting for some one to take the lead might mean serious loss which could be averted by prompt actiou. While the weather is pleasant, it is a little too cool and dry for good growing weather; however, the trees are budding and the hills are getting greener. It is good weather for the lambing season and a high per cent of lambs will be saved. J. H. Beazan went to Portland yesterday morning. OASTOniA. Bwi the hl Yott Hav8 lwa,,s Heppner Lodge No. 258. B.
