Mr. Marquardsen is at Spokane purchasing his entire spring line from Eastern representatives and upon his departure he insisted us
to put evcy effort to reduce the stock and make more loom for the new line to arrive in March. Of course we realize the hard
ships of the community and the scarcity of ready money, and by bearing this in mind have made prices on articles as quoted below
not to be excelled in Heppner. We are and have been since the panic of 1907, hard pressed for MONEY, but it is our motto to
continually try to induce the public to spend a portion with us by offering good dependable merchandise at prices worthy consideration.
One-third Discount
These reductions are made
and in charge of the
clerks for one week in Hepp
ner's Big Department Store
and we ask you to call to in
spect the worthy offerings.
Its up to us to sell the goods

offer one-third discount on
all articles in the two big de
partments of our store.

Comet Brushes Earth on
May 18.
Haley's comet will stive the Pacific
Coast a close brush this year on May
18. between the hours of 4 and 1)
o'clock, p. m. and the "brush" will
be something spectacular, says PiO'
IVssor Charles Bnrkhalter of the
Chabot observatory.
The eatth will then pass through
the last of the 20.000.000-mile tail of
the celestial visitor, and the result
mar be as dazzling a piece of fire
works as this generation tas ever
witnessed.
The news that Haley's comet will
be seen only on the Pacific coast has
not hitherto been published, although
the fact has been known for some time
to the astronomers of the world, many
of whom may come west to see the
great spectacle.
"Astronomers Cromelin and Cowell
cf the Royal Observatory at Greeu
wick have probablv made the most
exhaustive researches into the history
of the comet," stated Professor
Burkhalter.
According to the computations.
Haley's comet will reach the descend
ing node on May 18, 1010, when it
will be in a direct line between the
orbits of the earth and the sou. and it j
. i
b) Uappei;9 tnut the eartn will reacn
that uariicuUr pciut of its orbit about
the same tin.e. Should the calcula
tions of the astronumeis prove to be
riciJly exact, ti e touit will pass
directly between the earth and the sun
between the hours of 4 and 10 o'clock
htand Pacifb time.
"Assuming that it will naDcen
tiui;i.a tha middle of this tine or 7
U. n. . it will be visible over the
Pac.fic ocean, eastern Asia and
MCdtera North America. Tli tun
will have Bet in the eastern part of
the United States, and the comet will
Le therefore invisible to all psrtj of
the country on that side of the Rocky
mountains. Thus we have cn the
western edge of the continent a
opportunity of observing this transit
that is absolutely unique and without
precedent in the history of the comet.
"The comet is near the calculated
position at the present time, and
there ia no reason for believing the
work of Cowell and Cromelin will
need much or any revision. So we
can believe that the predictions of
the coming phenomenon will be ful
filled."
Government Helps Irrigation.
Washington, Jan. 22. The Senate
irrigation committee today drafted a
substitute for the Borab-Ballinger
bill authorizing the issuance of $30,
000,000 worth of bonds to assist in the
completion of Government irrigation
projects.
Aside from changing the name of
the securities fiom bonds to certifi
cates, the committee made no material
change in the Borah bill, except to
provide that moneys shall be applied
exclusively to the completion of
existing projects or extensions thereof.
No new projects can be built with this
fund.
The committee is of the opinion
that the bill can be passed through
the Senate without difficulty, and
Senator Jones was again delegated to
confer with Sueaker Cannon to see
what can be done about getting the
measure through tha House.
Carter told the committee Cannon
would not consent to the passage of
a bond bill, but wonld support a bill
issuing certificates. Jones is to see
if the Speaker will positively commit
himself to this extent.
A long and interesting session was
held by the committee, in which was
fought the auestion of issuing bonds
or certificates of indebtedness. The
principle on which the proposed
legislation is based is contained in
Senator Borah's bill providing for
the authoriaztion of a 830,000,000
bond issue. This measure was pre
pared bv him after a conference with
President Taft and Secretary Ballinger
while the President was in the West
last Summer.
Whether certificates or bonds are
anthorized, the securities may be
issued as needed up to a limit of $30,
000,000 and will draw 3 per cent
interest, payable quarterly.
The payment will be guaranteed by
the Government out of the reclama
tion fund. Mr. Borah and supporters
of a bond issue believe that form-nf
security would ba the most readilv
marketed.
According to the figures before the
committee. $1,400,000 oat of the $30.
000,000, is intended for the Klamath
project: $50,000 for Umatilla, $t,
400,000 for Yakima. $2,337,000 for
Payette -Boise and $050,000 for the
Minidoka project.

Cold Weather in Harney.
Harney county has been eiper
fencing colder weather tbia month

thermometer has been registering
24 degrees below zjro in this citj,
and at tbe Narrows, on Malheur
Lake, 32 below zero. The coldest
period in the history 0f Harney
County was from December 15 to
January 19, during all of which
time tbe thetemometer registered
3 to 24 degrees telow zero. The
stockmen are losing their animals
by the thousand. The sheepmen
la toe btein .Mountain country
have not been feeding for the past
three winter?, and the cold weath
er his caught them without sup
plies. They cannot purchase hay,
as the cattlemen are holding it for
their own use. 8everal big stock
men of Harney county have suf
fered heavy logs, and if the snow
and cold hold on until the 1st of
March, as in former hard winters,
the loss of sheep and cattle will
be very heavy, at hay is getting
short with some of the stockiirow
ers and the prica has risen from 8"
to $3 per ton in the last few days,
with some holding for S15 per ton.
Hay, feed of all kinds, seed
