To tho southern part of Franco the ancients
gave the name Elysium. The sunny slopes,
carpeted with green, sprinkled with olive
groves, and famous from time immemorial
for its grapes and wine, early attracted the
admiration of poets who sang of its glory in
Bong and in verse. The Elysium Fields were
inhabited by the souls of the guiltless, where
each followed the chosen pursuit of his form
er life in a land of spring, sunlight, happiness
and song. .
Even from the mythical foiuidation of the
present French Itepublic, the;' have been
characterized for their

subdued them and for five centuries they
were ruled bv Roman governors until the
year 48G, when one tribe, the Franks, led by
their great leader, 01vis,defeated the Roman
governor, Syagrius, at Soissons and soon
brought the greater part of modern France
under 'the rule of the Franks.
The next great event happened in the rule
of Clovis. In a terrible battle with the Ale
manni when all hope seemed lost, Clovis, fal
ling on his knees, called upon the God of the
Christians and vowed if he would give vic
tory to his arms be would become his follow
er. The battle turned in favoi' of the Franks
and Clovis, faithful to his vow, was baptised,
and with him three thousand of his followers.
From tliis time on the Franks were the guar
dians of Christianity and the first and most
memorable battle they fought was on the
field of Tours, where with Charles Martel as
their leader, they defeated the Moslems in
what has been termed one of the decisive bat
ties of history. The Prankish ascendency
reached its zenith in the rule of Charlemagne
whose name occupies more pages of Mediaev
al history- than any other Prankish ruler.
Feudalism, and the flower of Feudalism,
Chivalry, had their greatest development in
France. The knightly virtues of the French
nobles has made their name a household wor
for courtesy, kindness and, generosity; vir
tues which characterize the French of our
day. The Norman, although immigrants to
France, were soon converted and adopted the
ways of the people with whom they associat
ed,and displayed the French love of verse an
song when before the battle of Hastings the
Norman knight" rode out from the Norman
lines and advancing along towards the Eng
lish army, tossing up his sword and skillful
ly catching it as it fell, and flinging all the
while the-stirring batle songs of Cliarlemagiu
and Roland.
In the late wars of modern times we see the
same love of determination, entrerness an
courage displayed by the French people. In
n recent battle of the present war the French
went into action with their cannon draped
with llowers nnd the gunners singing as they
advanced. Love of country is as instinctive
within every Frenchman's heart as the love
of life itself. Wo do all our work on anima
tion, enthusiasm and inspiration, and when
those fail we turn out an imitation article.not
the real thing. The French soldier has im
pressed tlie world as a fearless, devoted serv
ant of his native land and one which requires
a man with double the spirit and energy to
overcome.

Eternal vigilance is the price of more things
than liberty. Last Saturday afternoon a
number, of citizens and businessmen of this
city met in the bank and discussed means by
which we can lessen the danger of fire dur
ing the flext few weeks, the most favorable
time of the . year for
Let's Have No fire to start. The meet
Repitition Of ing was characterized
The Morgan Disaster by the seriousness of
n Heppner all present and the
general appreciation of
le gravity of the situation. It was brought
out that many stores and private dwellings
are nothing but firetraps and this largely due
to the carelessness of the owners and occu
pants. Behind many stores are piles of pap
er, excelsior, trash and refuse which, if once
started afire could not be extinguished.
Those present passed a motion demanding
of the city council that steps be taken at once
to clean up the city. While this is a step in
the right direction, each individual citizen
should not wait for the council to warn him
but remove and burn the rubbish himself.
The citizens of this town have co-operated
with the council in every undertaking which
that body has thought worthy of their notice
and which they have asked the support of the
citizens. Let's go the council one .better and
do this before they can meet and make it a
complusory activity on our part. Let's not
have a repetition of what happened to our
neighboring town of Morgan.

at eston, Oregon. At the present time
uregon lias one Normal School located at
Monmouth and which serves the western
part of the state, the fact might be mentioned
that there is no state educational insitution
of any nature in Eastern Oregon, a condition
which should not exist.
The main function of the state is to raise
good citizens and whenever she does not she

poor economy and bad business management
which forces Oregon young men and women
to go to neighboring states for their school-
ing. Especially is it to be regretted when
the state has an up-to-date plant located in
the Eastern part of the state, where it is need
ed, and representing an outlay of $75,0H).
That it can he successfully operated is shown
by experience. In l!07-8 it had enrolled L'75
students from eighteen counties. Weston is
an ideal place for the school ami no reason

brought about in l'.H)).
Reopening the Normal at Weston will
furnish an opportunity to many young men
and women who are now staying' at home,
being financially unable to go to Monmouth
to school. If we wish to bring tho school to
Uioso who need it, then open the Weston
Normal, if wo want to cater to a few, let it
remain closed. It seems eminently 'fitting
an.r proper to many of us to do the former.

Uiseaso has been scarce in Heppner this
year and many say that oil did it. Rv the
iasi paper wo received from a iiearhv town -..
Some man is quoted as saying that
God made the nation, man the cities
and the Devil the small towns. Evi
dently he had not visited the town of
Hardman, which is located twenty
miles south and vest of, Heppner.
Last Friday the editors of the semi
weekly took a little journey to Hard-
man. We left Heppner in our old
348" about noon and on the edge of
town we met two wagons loaded with
wheat. In the first ten miles we met
ten wagons loaded with the staff of
life. We stopped at the V. A. Stevens
ranch, which is four and one-half
miles from Hardman, for water and
while there we met Mr. Stevens. We
got to talking about Morrow County,
what a good place ii is and there was
so much that we wanted to talk about
that we got Mr. Stevens to get into
the car and accompany us to Hard-man.
Mr. Stevens is one of the old set
tlers of Morrow Conuty, coming here
; from Iowa when the county was still
a part of Umatilla County and with
very few inhabitants. Up the road a
short distance he pointed out his son's
ranch, J. W. Stevens, and J. W. cer
tainly had a clean and well-appearing
place; He had a good garden and I
noticed an out-of-doors sleeping quar
ters, which' is in the line of health
and right living. As we climbed the
hill which overlooks the town .below
