" ci; ni.il VOL. 27. NO. 52; IIEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, MARCH 23, 1911. SUBSCRIPTION, .$1.00 PER YEAR. BOOST CLUB WILL MEET REGULARLY Friday Night Each Week To Be Devoted To Club Work. Morrow County Boost Club held a short business session at tb council chambers last Friday eve sing, and some matters of import- ance were taken up and discussed The idea was presented of put ting a man over at Madras to hand out Morrow county literature and to present to the large Dumber of colonists being now landed at that point the advantages we have to offer in the WBy of cheap farm lands. It was decided that this step would be taken if found ad Tisable after a visit to that section by a representative of the club. VT. S. Wharton intends making visit there the coming week and will report to the club, action to be taken thereafter. The proposition of placing a man at Portland for tne same purpose was abandoned as it is not prac tical. vvnat literature tne club now has on hand will be distributed, and more will be provided, as it is the sense of the club that our pub. licity campaign has only begun, and while we may not get the re sults that were expected this year, they will come later, and now is a splendid time to advertise, and keep it up, and this will be done. A good spirit pervaded the meet ing. It was decided that hereafter the club will meet on each Friday evening to push its work along all lines. Also, it is the desire of the club that all strangers who may be coming to the county at this time will be made welcome in a way that they will appreciate, and spirit manifested towards them which will show that our peopl are really glad to have them here, and if possible to suit them in tb line they are looking for, to get them interested in the right way Give them the very best side of our county, but in a way that we will not have to apologize for hereafter, We have something good to offer the newcomer and each and every person should be constituted a com mi t tee to boost for all we are worth but while doing this, we should not give out the impression that we are after all he has in the way of cash in other words, do not make it real estate agents' graft, as it would appear some other sections are do ing. Morrow county is as good, if not far better than many other sections of the Northwest that are receiv ing more attention. We should not stand back to say bo, and then prove it A trip around town will convince yru that Heppner citizens have been struck with the clean-up spirit in real earnest. The trim ming of trees, cleaning of yards, repairing of fences and sidewalks and the painting of houses is the order, and many are gettiog their gardens planted and are putting out treeH and shrubbery, and the work of beautifying goes on apace The putting in of gardens at this early date may be a ittle prema ture, but this fine warm sunshine makes it hard to resist, and early spring garden "sass" is already showing above the surface of the ground. A few more weeks of the present sort of weather and some of our citizens will be eating new lettuce, radishes and onions. Such is our Oregon climate. E. Nordyke was in Heppner on Saturday from Lexington. He was accompanied by his son, Guy, who is now a resident of Seattle and follows the profession of book keeper. It haH been nearly twenty years since liuy lets tnese parts, being at that time a small boy, and be notes many changes in and about Heppner, especially anion those of his former associates wh have grown to maturity the same as himself. He renewed many ao quaintauces while here. Quite a number of strangers in Heppner this week, the large per cent of whom seem to be of the genus hobo.

He ia quite wel pleased with his new location and claims to be doing a nice business already. Coburg is not a very large town, but it is progressive, and Mr. Hisks finds himself con nected up with a growing business. James Angus, who has had charge of W. O. Minors show herd of Shorthorns the past two years, left for Portland Monday, having resigned his position here. He will remain at Portland for the present, but a little later may de cide to accept a position that has been offered him in Wisconsin. Rood Canyon Road. On last Thursday, R. F. LTynd and W. O. Minor, representing Heppner, and Judge Patterson and Commissioner YouDg, represent ing Morrow County, met at the proposed road down Rood Canyqn, and with S. E. Notson, Emerson Keitbley and County Road Viewer, C. E. Jones went over the piece of road surveyed through the Keith ley land. After carefully viewing the mat ter it was finally decided that the proposition of Mr. Keithley would be accepted, and it was agreed by him not to further oppose the putt ing of the road through his premises. As compensation for this agreement he was promised $15 per acre for the land actually used in laying out tbe road, also to be furnished suiricient material for a three wire fence. On behalf of the county, Judge Patterson and Commissioner Young would not agree to bear all this expense, so a portion of it will be taken care of by Heppner business men so that there need be no delay in getting the road opened. Tbe only matter necessary to be attended to now is the proper court proceedings, and this will be pushed along as rapidly as possible. In fact it shoud be arranged to do a certain portion of the work on this road at once, as now is the proper time to attend to it, and if it is necessary to wait until the county court orders the road open, then it will be too late in the season to stir up tbe ground, and those desiring to make use of tbe road this season will be disappointed. If it is now definitely settled just where the road is going, it would seem that this might be arranged. It is gratifying to have this set tled up, and the openihg of this road will be of great benefit to Lone Rock and Heppner, making !i 1 , ic. muca -easier tor inose people to reach as and to do business over this way, It has been needed for a loDg time. lone News Budget.

We con fess that the old bell got on our nerves. Little Del mar Waters fell in a bonfire one day last week, burning his hands severely. They were healing nicely at last reports. The weather these days is just grand. Even the much boasted California climate cannot beat it. But, says some one, "jost wait." We are informed that Judge John Fooley, who has 800 acres of land nonh of lone, will soon begin plowing on this land with three eight-horse teams. The thirty head of stock and implements will be shipped in, and one of tbe Judge's sons will superintend tbe work Thil Dohertv of Wells Springs bad his sheep stampede while in the corral Ihey piled np, causing 400 bead of fine ewes to suffocate, and causing Mr Doherty to suffer a loss of $2400.

When the weight of the sheep came up against this fence the rone broke, liberating tbe sheep and saving tbe owner buudrede of dollars.
