The special session of congress attemp ted to slaughter the tariff on wool There is no question but a similar attempt will be made by congress this coining winter to reduce the duty on wool to a minimum or place it on the free list. We must vierorouslv conduct the hardest fight ever made in order to edu cate and convince congress and the American people that our industry is entitled to the same measure of protection as is given the products of any other kind of labor. We must insist before congress that the wool grower in entitled to a tariff on wool that he may realize from his business the actual ex . penses of operation, plus a reason able profit, in order that he may live and not be forced into bank ruptey. President Taf t vetoed al wool tariff legislation until the tariff board reports in December.

M., held in their Temple on the 4th day of Nov. 1911, the fob lowing resolutions were unani mously anopted: . Whereas, It has pleased the Almighty Ruler of the Universe to remove from our midst our be loved brother, Julius Keithly.who has for so many years been a true and laithlul brother among us, and for his upright and Godly life we trust he has entered the Cel estial Lodge above where the Supreme Ruler forever presides. Brother Keithly was one of the charter members of Heppner Lodge No. GO, A. F. &A. M.,and one that was always ready to lend a helping hand to distressed worthy brothers, their widows and orphans wheresoever dispersed, and whenever it came to his knowledge. Be it therefore Resolved by Heppner Lodge No. 69, A, F. & A. M., that while we bow in humble submission to the will of that one before whom all Masons bend their knees in rever ence, we do not the less mourn for our brother who has been taken from us. His labors are ended here below but we trust he has entered upon a higher and nobler life which can only be reached through the portals of death. Resolved, That these resolu tions be spread upon the records of Heppner Lodge No. G9, A. F. & A. M. and a copy thereof be transmitted to the family of our deceased brother, and to each of the newspapers of Heppner. P. 0. Borg, Frank Gilliam, II. A. Emerson, Committee. ORDINANCE 123 IS AMENDED.

At the regular meeting of the city council, held in chambers on Monday evening, all the members were present except Aiken, and after the usual routine business, the reading for the third time of Ordinance No. 127, brought that instrument up for its final pas sage. This ordinance bears title "An ordinance to amend Section 7 of ordinance No. 123, of the City of Heppner, entitled, 'An ordinance to provide for the licensing, tax ing, regulating and restraining the sale or disposal of spirituous liquor, brandy, wine, and all fermented and malt liquor, beer and ale, and prohibiting the sale or disposal of spirituous liquor, brandy, wine, and all fermented and malt liquor, beer and ale, within the City of Heppner with out a license, and prohibiting the purchase or attempt to purchase spirituous liquor, brandy, wine, and all fermented and malt liquor, j beer and ale, the sale of which is prohibited by this ordinance. ' "Section 7. The number of licenses issued under this ordi nance shall not be limited to any definite number." As will be seen this affects only Section 7 of the liquor ordinance and removes therefrom the lim itations on the number of licenses that can be issued. It is under stood that there will be at least one more license granted but it is doubtful if the present council will allow more than six saloons to be run at one time. Councilman Aiken presented his resignation and the same was promptly accepted. Judges and clerks for the com ing election were named as fol lows: Judges, John Hughes, Wm. Wilson and Wm. Ayers; Clerks, J. V. Crawford, W. P. Cox and C. H. Rhea. The recorder was instructed to post proper notices of election for the first Monday in December.

The annual fire report of the Whitman National Forest just prepared by Supervisor Ireland shows many interesting facts. It shows that, out of a total area of 949,176 acres, but 103 acres, or approximately .wuu or the en tire area, was burned over dur ing the past season. The esti mated loss was 141,000 feet B.M. of sawtimber, valued at approxi mately $100.00, besides $10.00 damage to young growth and to forage. A total of 52 fires has i .11.1 Deen reported Dy the rangers, nearly all of which were discov ered and extinguished while small, only two having burned over an area greater than ten acres. This comparitively large number of small fires reported and the scarcity of large ones speaks well for the efficiency of patrol. Needless to say the Supervisor and Rangers are extremely wel pleased with the result of their work. Last season's disastrous record has not been without its beneficial effects. A more effici ent organization on the part of the Forest Service has been eff it it.. , . ectea ana oetter cooperation on the part of the local population obtained. During the past season Forest officers were stationed upon sev erai oi the highest points upon the Whitman, keeping constant lookout for fires. Such observa tion stations were maintained at North Powder Lakes, upon Yin egar HiU in the Greenhorn Moun tains, upon Dixie Butte, and upon Baldy Mountain, about 20 miles south of Austin. These men re ported all fires seen to the central office and some one was im mediately sent to extinguish them. Telephone connections rendered part of these lookout points extremely valuable and emphasized the importance of such connections from a central office to all points throughout the Forest. All men employed upon the Forest, even though not on special fire patrol, always regard ed this as their first duty and were on constant lookout for fires. Not the least effective feature of the past season has been the cheerful and willing cooperation on the part oi settlers through out the country in reporting and fighting fires. Without this as sistance even the most thorough organization would be ineffective and the Forest Service wishes to express its appreciation for the extremely valuable assistance which has been so rendered. The putting out of a small smould ering lire or telephoning to some Forest officer reporting a smoke which has been seen may seem a small thing, yet it may save a loss of thousands of dollars and is always fully appreciated. The fire season always carries with it a feeling of anxiety and uncertainty. Each season teaches its lessons and helps in the im provement of the fire protection plan, but always there is danger and when everything is apparent ly safe, bad fires are liable to oc cur. Hence the need for an effi cient organization and continued vigilence on the part of the Forest Service, for constant and hearty cooperative assistance on the part of local residents and of users of the Forest, and for constant care and thoughfulness on the part of every one upon or passing over our public forests. Without this we can look for nothing but dis aster and loss; with it we may expect many seasons that are no more destructive, or even better than the one just past.

This! school is under the direction of I J. A. Gibbons. The pupils are wide awake, and were working diligently. The building has been repainted inside, new outside doors have been put in place, ex cellent single desks and revolv ing chairs have been provided, a new physiological chart and a fine set of maps have been pur chased recently, and a new flag is displayed from the flag-staff. The pupils have individual drink ing cups, the library consists of 170 volumes of well selected books, and they are kept in a splendid sectional book -case. The next day, I visited the school in Joint-District No. 39. Mrs. Mary Lundell is the teacher. A new fuel house has been built. The window's are provided with good window-boards and neat sash curtains. A thermometer aids in regulating the tempera ture, The pupils each have a folding drinking cup. The pu pils are very much in earnest in their work. They are having a series of debates. To get mat erial for debate and for the work in agriculture, they have sent to the Agricultural Department for number of the farmers' bulle tins, and are making good use of them. For Horse Stealing Sheriff Hayes and Marshal Smith upon advices received from Sheriff Taylor, of Pendleton, ar rested and lodged in jail here on Saturday, G. W. Burgess, who is accused by the Umatilla authori ties of horsestealing. Dist. A tty. Van Vactor, upon investigation of the case caused Burgess to be placed under ,$250.00 bonds, and the man was taken to Pendleton on Tuesday. Burgess claims there is a mistake as to his steal ing any horses, and that he can easily show that he came into possession of the animals on a bona fide trade. At the Churches. M. E.. CHURCH SOUTH.

Any article on the disagreeable task of saving money must have bitter taste. It must present some poignant, wholesome truths. One of these is: We are imbued with the idea people like us for what we can spend upon them. This is a big mistake. They may seek us as they seek the passing ray of sunlight over a flower-bed. When they need friends who really count for shelter and help, they prefer the sturdy oaks, rich rooted in solid ground. No, it is not that everyone worships the golden calf. People who amass fortunes have certain admirable, stable qualities which we all would like to have strength of character, will-power, self-denial, being true to one's self.

By the last finish its work and make a report I mean to live as one can afFord to live, on one's income. Most of us try to make our few dollars stretch over the same ground occupied by persons with incomes twice as large as we possess. We spend our all in "making a trood showing. " This is laudable from the viewpoint of progress ion, but one should use her wits and do this and save a little at the same time. Just compare the person who does not save with the one who has this quality. The latter has the things which really count with the world at large the bank account, the permanent home, the physical comforts and is the power in the community.

There are a number of cases to be investigated by the grand jury and several new in dictments are likely to be present ed. It was expected that Judge Parker of Condon would preside at this term of Court and hear the local option cases that have been on the docket for so long, but there is no definite informa tion as to this.
