for ourselves, fxactly ns you do, as
to whether to vote or not to vote,

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.

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.

upon you to honor our flag of truce

unequal contest. You kuow you
vtoaldonly compel ns to repeat
this etrogple in 1910 if ycu should
fail os now. But we believe you
will not fail. You have but to un-
TtlE MARKET BAY.
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.
