Feb. 16, 1911 A S T 1.I.T1ATK. - Climatic conditions In Morrow t'ounty may not bo altogether Ideal, but when we read of the blizzards farther east and north, of the storms to the south, of the snow banks and washouts in every direction, we are .Inclined to congratulate ourselves that we are most favorably situated ' js to climate. So, too, in "the good old summer time" when others are being scorched, roasted, broiled and tried by the intense heat of the sum mer sun, or being- blown to smither j en by the festive cyclone, while we are enjoying the gentle zephyrs from the sea nud the cooling breezes from the mountains. It Is a land of much sunshine, where fruit is-ripened to perfection, where Tegetables in great variety are pro duced, unexcelled in quality and flav or, and the wheat hardens and ripens to a turn. 1 Morrow County, considering 1 the latitude, is not only mild, but equa ble. The extremes of heat and cold experienced iu other localities are almost unknown here. Rarely do Tve have zero weather iu winter or 'extreme heat in summer, and when "we do it is of short duration, seldom lasting more than a few days. Our mean annual temperature ranges from 45 to 57 degrees, and even in the warmest weather the nights are cool. We know nothing of the hot, sweltering nights such as are endured by residents east of the Rockies. ness of the city, to the value of prop erty, and the comfort and conven ience of the - people generally. Of course it would cost something, und so does anything of vaJue.

Don't kick but boost. Senate bill 118, introduced by 15nr rett of Washington County, impos ing a license of $100.00 on peddlers of patent medicines, was indefinitely postponed, which means that it has died. There were many protests registered against the passage of this measure, und its demise is not mourned, as it was a piece of class legislation of the worst ort. We hope that It will never be resurrected. House joint resolution, introduced by Representative Mahoney of this . county, to amend Section 2 of Article IV of the constitution, so as. to pro Tide one senator and one representa tive at least from each county, and us many more as the population of the several counties may justify, should certainly be adopted by the legislature. The people of this coun ty will appreciate a change in the law that will give us our own repre sentative and senator, and weappre bend that every other county in the state, similarly situated, will take the same view. For years past we Lave been tied onto other counties, and have not even been permitted to have a representative of our very own, but are tacked on to Umatilla, and as for a senator, we always have been joined up with a couple of other counties.' We hope this joint resolution will be adopted. Whether or not the State Legisla ture provides Oregou with a plan for systematic highway construction the Oregon Good Roads Association believes that during the last year more has beeu actually accomplished toward permanent making of good roads than during any other . period of the State's history. This is be cause of the widespread conviction which it has been possible to obtain that Oregon's first and greatest de velopment need Is good roads con. structiou. The Oregon Good Iloads Associa tion does not intend to give up the fight for highway construction whe ther the good roads laws as adopted by the legislature are satisfactory or uot. The leaders of the organization believe that with the help of the state press and the progressive citizenship unofficial promotion of the good roads cause will be effective and de slrable either iu conjunction with the enforcement of such laws as may be passed, or if the laws are not passed the unofficial plan it is believed will be even more effective than legislation. weeks under Mr. Ol to's management, Heppner is going to have- u young orchestra to.be proud of.

VyVVVVWWVVVVVVVVVVN The despatches last week contained an account of a most fiendish trag edy near Enterprise, in Wallowa County, in which' William Windor shot and killed both his wife and her sister, Mrs. Riuehurt. It appears that he was of a morose and surly disposition and not spoken to his -wife for nine days. She was sick in bed and had sent to Enterprise for some medicine, whereat he became angry and quarrelled with her. Mrs. lttuehart, who was present, inter fered, whereupon he whisked out a SS revolver and fired, the bullet en Wring her mouth. He then shot his wife in the center of the forehead, killing her. Picking up theirOmonths old baby, Windor carried it to a near neighbor's, telling what lie had done, what disposition to make of the child, and that he was going back to finish up tlw job. Rushing back liefore the alarm could be spread, he laid down beside his wife and placing the revolver to his temple, sent a bullet through his own head. Mr. Uinehart, for whom the Windors were working, was absent, having yone to the timber for firewood. It was a most brutal aud cowardly siet and only a mural degenerate could plan and execute a deed of such infamy and proportions. Tin-re are special reasons why this e,; - ;.'.!s for mention in th"s" col umns. Mr. Uinehart and Mrs. Win. dor were nieces of Mr. find Mrs. J. V. Crawford, their parents, Mr. and Mrs. I). F.
