the Purchasing Pow

Double their Value.
Laces am
Our purchase of high grade Laces and embridery is one of the most desirable we have ever secured, being very extensive and abundantly supplied with bright, new and
attractive patterns. The qualities are especially noteworthy, among the finest obtainable in their respective iines, yet they are priced below decidedly inferior makes.
The patterns as displayed in our DRY GOODS WINDOW should especially appeal to dressmakers and others intending extensive purchases of dependable spring
Jaoesaud embroidery. (
We'll Dress the Babies Tisn't the money that we take in at the INFANTS GOODS Department that pleases us most, ita the starting of a new crop of customers. Where the mother comes to get
faruMJots for the little ones, there the little ones are most likely to come and get clothing for themselves when they have grown up. So we cultivate future trade all the time by keeping the price marks
a infants goods mighty close to the cost marks.

DCREASE IX TAXATION.

TUTMle there are good and suffi

sn&bsa realization of such a grea
3crrMLse will probably result in

3;uwiarthe problem of taxation is
3yj3spi ce, but here in Morrow
cxsiufrj present conditions seem to
3at to the fa 'it that methods for
3ieri-f employed have been to say
lus-!st, slack. Piain facts will
!teip ut the above statement.
'jJine are several reasons for an
3uise in taxes for the year 1908,
3bsr 7hich there c-in be no blame
attained to any one, and especially
5fa3a who are at the head of the
adLjp&ef the county.
Oaeiteoi creating considerable

-v. fjours's of f'veuts. but the main
-.. 't!y:rj,i principle has been un
in 'h a eregate for the year 1907,
was $200,000 les tbaj for the j ear
1906. For last year the valuations
were SH0,0OJ less than for 1907.
At this rate what are we going to
come to? 9
It ia a well known and undis
puted fact ihat Morrow county land
values have, within the past five
or six years increased in value at
least 50 per cnt.
Not only this, but thousands of
acres of lands newly tcquired from
the government have been added
to the taxable property. Eighty
thousand acres of Northern Pacific
railroad laud was added in one
lump last year.
The fatther we dig down into
our pockets, the bitter we realize
the fact that values of all the tax
able property have not been looked
after properly.
The person listing the property
from the best information obtain
able should place the values. The
owner has recourse from unjust
valuation before the board of
equalization.
We believe that at least half of
the taxpayers each year do not
know how much their property is
assessed at. MaDy of them are
never inteiviewed, and in many
Ctses present ownership is not
known. Every taxpayer should
kcow exactly what his property
valuation is placed at.
If left to the owner, it will al
ways be low enough, but if left to
the other fellow the bourd of equal
ization will have more work.
ADVERTISE MORROW COISTV.
R. V. Hickok of Heppner has
started a movement to advertise
Morrow County. His plen is to
interview, if possible, every prop
erty owner in the county. First,
to get interest aroused in our own
welfare, and pecond to raisa enough
fundi to properly carry oa the
work.
Tae en'erprise thown by Mr.
Hickok should be taken up by all
of our citizens.
It is no: a pleasant thought when
wa rtaliza tha fact t bit the popula
tion of Morro.v county bus not in
creised t.ny within th? past five
yesrj.

Within the past three weeks the
Portland Commercial Club has sent
out more tban seven tons of adver
tising matter in relation to Port
land and the state in general.
With this immense shipment, Mor
row county did not send a line.
The present year opens up with
bright prospects. The acreage of
wheat is large and the prospects
forabiggiain crop were never
better.
The great stock industry which
is one of our principal assets, is
looking up. Heppner is one of the
principal wool centers of the state,
and prices for sheep and cattle are
getting better.
This will help to swell bank de
posits which are larger in Heppner
than any other town in the state of
its size.
We have prosperous business
men, successful farmers, wealthy
stockmen and heavy bank deposits.
There also must be a reason for this.
Morrow county lands are cheap,
in fct very cheap.
In Portland and other places you
can find today h large contingent of
former Morrow county people, com
fortably retired. They made their
money here.
