Some great man once said that the
dark ages were the times before
Edison. While this may seem exag
gerated there is a saving grain of
truth in it. Edison and Electrical
inventions have 1 een synonymous
terms for forty years. Just what
electricity is we don't know. It has
been said that there is just one thing
in this world and that is Energy. It
takes many forms. Man is the high
est product of this Energy. Elec
tricity is the passing of power from
one form into another. The whole
program of life consists of giving and
receiving, absorption and dissipation.
Everything is in motion and through
electricity we transmit power, divid
ing it up into units, using it to heat
irons, toast bread, boil coffee, run a
piano and many other things. The
limit of electrical devclopement,
through increasing use of electricity
and electrical appliances, is beyond
imagination.
One of the largest business opera
tions of this county is carried on by
the Heppner Light and Water Com
pany. In the winter of 1892 the
plant was started. H. B. Gates, T.
W. Aye.rs and J. Hamilton were the
men who furnished the money and
brains, it is also said that they did
most of the work. The equipment
consisted of one 05 horse-power en
gine, one 80 horse-power boiler and a
twelve horse-power pump for the city
water. It was first-class machinery
and the best that money could buy
in those days. The merchants and
available fuel and this had to be
brought in from a long distance. This
is the most expensive method of
generating steam that we know much
about and the Company has been suc
cessful in maintaining the minimum
rate fo $3.50 for residences and 5c a
candle power for stores closing at
ten in the evening. Store closing at
six have a different and much lower
rate.
It, has what is called a three phase
alternating circuit, the 110 secondary
current for lighting purposes, the 220
for power and also the 23,000 volt
circuit. All leads through the town
are of heavy wire strung on extra
large poles. They furnish a man to
do all wiring and do case of fire has
ever been attributed to imperfect
workmanship in this line.
On the 29th. of June, this year, the
Company inaugurated the day ser
vice. In doing this they are keeping
abreast of the times, It was no small
undertaking and necessitated a com
plete change in the plant with an
expenditure of nearly forty thousand
dollars. Two new boilers of 125
horse-power each and a 150 horse
power engine were installed which
handles the night load. The ma
chinery which formerly carried the
night load was completely overhauled
and now handles the lighter day load.
Neither equipment is loaded to its
capacity and I was told that three
times the amount of business could be
handled with the same equipment.
Either of these equipments could
handle the entire load if for any rea
son something should put one of them
out of commission.
The Company supplies the city water
and has two wells, 606 and 650 feet
deep respectively. This water is
Announcement
I wish to announce to my many friends, former patients and the
public, the removal of my office from the Bank of Heppner building
to the corner of Center and Gale streets, one half block west of old
location. There is an entrance from both Gale street and Center
street to the ollice and waiting rooms.
These new quarters will give me five large rooms instead of the
small rooms In the former building and will enable me to install the
most comprehensive olcclrotherapoutic and hydrotherapeutic equip
ment. I have at present the most modern and best equipped oflices
in the county and intend to add to the present all the electric appli
ances now that we have the current.
You are cordially Invited to call and inspect the office and equip
ment. Office hours 9 to 12 a. m. and 1. to 5 p. m.

ONE OF THE BEST FARMS IN
MORROW COUNTY IS NOW
FOR SALE
Here is a bargain for a man looking for a good home
Mr. J. H. Campbell owns what has been known as the
Ham Burchell place, 8 miles due east of Lexington and
twelve miles north of Heppner. This place consists of
040 acres, principally all tillable land, There is a good
house, two barns and several other good buildings, in
cluding a blacksmith shop. There are twenty-five head
of horses and mules, three milk cows and three heifers.
Two wagons, three wheat beds, three two bottom plows,
one combine, two twenty -foot harrows, two weeders, two
discs, one Stockton gange plow, about $500 worth of har
ness, one walking plow, one grain crusher, two wheat
drills, one cook house and water tank, one new $300 hay
press, oue mowing machine and rake, some hogs, 1000
bushels of oats in bin, one Campbell packer, 200 chickens,
some turkeys, some household goods and other articles
about the farm too numerous to mention.
A good orchard on the place. A new windmill just
erected. Telephone in the house and on the main road.
This place is known as one of the finest places in Morrow
County and a man who will hustle can earn from ten to
fifteen thousand dollars every year.
TERMS: $31,000 buys this place, $9,800 cash and the
balance in eight years time at C per cent. I am selling
this place because I have been advised to go to a timber
ed country by tho doctor to improve my rapidly failing
eyesight. I am offering this place at such reasonable
terms because I am anxious to dispose of it before the
next thirty days. Anyone desiring such a place can do
no better than to call at the farm and look it over at
once.
J. H. Campbell
Lvklngton, Oregon
located on the hill adjoining the plant.
These are three in number. The
domestic reservoir is used for ordinary
purposes and holds 60,000 gallons.
There are two reserve reservoirs for
fire protection which hold 370,000 gal
lons. There is 100 pounds fire pres
sure or more than enough to strip the
roof of any building in the town of
its shingles.
There are over six miles of water
mains, all in first-class condition.
The Company is going to lay over one
mile of additional pipe this fall. This
will be mostly in the north part of
town and will give bettor fire protec
tion to the railroad and warehouses.
It is not a complete circulating sy
stem as yet but will be as soon as
the mains are laid in the Fall. Water
is furnished for irrigation purposes in
addition for household requirements.
The water rates here are unusually
low. Business houses pay $1 and
residences $1.50.
When the Company decided to start
the day current, they employed a man
skilled in matters electrical to come
here and demonstrate what can be
done with electrical appliances. This
man came and an office was arranged
in a downtown store. He spent a
week or more showing people how
easily and quickly electricity cooks,
heats and eliminates household
drudgery. But the big thing that
struck me in the whole affair was that
the Company was handling these
articles and asking no profit for its
labors.
Take irons for instance. The cus
tom the world over is to pay five
good Woodrow Wilson dollars for
the iron, and in some places where
competition is stifled, six dollars.
Here we see a company placing an
iron in your home, attached and ready
for the maid, for seventy-five cents a
month, and after twelve month's use
it becomes your own property and as
our legal friends say, "to convert to
your interest and profit." That is
certainly cheaper than borrowing your
neighbor's wood and running a chance
of stumbling in the dark.
Light and water companies have
but one thing to sell and that is their
; service. Their success depends upon
j the quality of the service they render,
j In Mr. Gates the Heppner Light &
Water Company has a man who lives
I in the future, he is a man who never
gets mentally short-circuited. He is
working for the good of this commun
, ity. He has a plant here that will ac
comodate the town for decades to
come. He has placed electricity with-
in the reach of everyone, and let us
add, nearly everyone uses it. Any
man who is looking for a location for
a factory which will need electricity
to do the dead lift, will do well to
drop a card to the H. L. &W. Co., bet
ter yet, send another to the Commer
cial Club.
Mr. Gates, however, has several
other plants in this state and in Wash
ington and is not here all of the time,
in fact, a small part of the time. There
is a man who is here and his name is
Mr. W. S. Pruyne. Mr. Pruyne is the
man on the job. The Company has a
corner on the "juice" so to speak, and
one might expect the local manager
to get a little chesty with the common
rabble, as is often the case. Let it be
understood that Mr. Pruyne is out
looking for the business, not boquets,
and no complaint is too small to re
ceive his earnest attention.
Electricity is the cheapest and most
effective energy known-and has been
termed "the handmaiden of civiliza
tion." "The industry is in its infancy
and our engineers are in the kinder
garten," says Dr. Chas. P. Steinmctz.
We Bre able to do a great many
things electrically, but the number of
things that we will yet do electrically
no man can say. Surely electricity,
through giving us quick transporta
tion and instant communication, is
binding the people of the world to
gether in a common bond, and the
brotherhood of man ill not long be a
barren ideality .Rung by poets and
prayed for by preachers. "Do it e
lectrically" is now possible in this
city, due to the foresight, business a
bility and willingness of the Heppner
Light & Water Company.
