I IERALD REPORTS PROGRESS
The present owner and pub
lisher of the Herald has been in
charge of the paper for three
months and is glad to be able to
report progress in the work of
getting the paper "on its feet"
and the business at least started
along the road of system and
order. As a very necessary step
in that direction, and as an
nounced in this column last week,
statements of account have been
sent out to all subscribers whose
subscription accounts are shown
on our books to be one year in
arrears- The responses to these
statements have b'n very grat
ifying, While a few have seem
ed to be angered by a courteous
request for settlement and have
discontinued their subscriptions
a large number have paid up to
date and a year in advance and
in addition to payment many
have spoken words of encourage
ment and appreciation. A num
ber of errors in the books have
been uncovered and adjusted
and it is the desire of the pub
bsher that all other such dis-
crepencies may be straightened
out. In this matter the Herald
does not wish to collect one
penny to which it is not justly
entitled. If the statement you
receive appears to you to be in
correct please remember that
all we have to go by are the old
books as turned over to us and
that we are not only ready but
anxious to adjust any account
that is incorrect.
The present publisher of the
Herald believes that there is but
one way to conduct any business
successfully and that is on busi
ness principles and "on the
square." The ordinary ' man
who undertakes to give away his
services in any line of endeavor
--to render service to others
without receiving a just compen
sation for the same, is very apt
to find trouble in meeting his
bills and in remaining in good
standing at his bank.
As stated in the first number
of the lb raid issued under the
present management, the present
publisher entered" this held of
endeavor primal ially with the
idea of making a living." He
realized at that time that it
would require ii little time, some
hard work, considerable "ad
justment" of both plant and
business methods, as well as the
adoption of correct business
principles to make that "idea"
work out successfully. He did
not come to I h ppiu r ither to
ask or to di.-pou. .e charity
in adhering to tli:,t principl
does Hot wi'll '..i send tin- Herald
tonno!ie who iseiihi r wants to
read the paper nor i-xprct to
pay for it while paper, rent,
cost of liing and o! her overhead
espense-t ai e too high for that.
He believes, houi er, that there
h room in llepptu r and Morrow
county for the ller.iM to grow
and prosper and in order to make
Kood that hi lief he i doing his
best, under the circumstances,
to yi e Im p.itroii aliie recei -ed
for w hat lie sells thrill.
The present o.m t r of the Her
ald bouel.t the plant, subscrip
tion list, accounts, etc., and paid
municipal, be held on the same
day. Obviously the average
voter and taxpayer saw, o? thot
he saw, in this measure, a slim
chance for his white alley, inas
much as it was the only measure
which offered the faintest gleam
of hope in the direction of tax
reduction.
The measure which received
the hardest bumping in this
county was that which provided
for reducing the work of the
members of the legislature and
doubling their pay. Morrow
county voters defeated the meas
ure by more than five to one
thereby giving a pretty strong
hint of how they will vote some
of these fine days on the question
of abolishing the legislature entirely.
The road bond measure was
lost in the county by a vote of
11-2 to 1 even Heppner, with
perhaps more automobiles per
capita than any other town in
the state, defeated the measure
by 10 votes. This result was,
perhaps, due to the fact that
Morrow county people discovered
some time ago that the bond
measure was a debatable question.

Auto Turns Turtle
V. C Dawson, tobacco sales
man, representing the Reynolds
Tobacco Co., was killed in Eight
mile Canyon early Sunday morn
ing when his car turned turtle
and pinned him beneath. He
was alone ut the tune and the
cause is conjectural. The unfor
tunate mini was pinned under
neath the car face down with the
seat resting on his neck. Death
seemed to be caused by strangu
ition. Iluiboily was found by
a passing automobile and taken
to Arlington and M. L. Case of
this city was notified to go there
and prepiiro it for burial.
Deceased was well known hero
to merchants engaged in in the
tobaico trade. He registered at
the Paluco hotel Thursday of
last week. His home is said to
hiivo been in Wulla Wulla.

of the Lake County Woolgrowers'

I 'regoiuau
iJurlng the wars in Japan between
the adherents of the mikado and the
Khuguu the mikado's troops were be
sieging a fortress which both sides
wanted, for it was In an important
strategical position, and the troops who
occupied it were reasonably certain of
success.
But there Is one matter of impor
tance concerning it that is pertinent to
this story. The mikado's army was
very small, and a force of the shogun
was coming up to the relief of the be
sieged. This force was expected with
in a week. The success of the mikado
depended upon -how long his enemy's
supplies would hold out. If there were
enough for but a few days the besieg
ers might remain and reap the benefit
of their labors. If the provisions should
last longer than that they would better
be off before the relief force came up
or they might be overwhelmed by a su
perior army.
To know what supplies the defend
ers of the fortress, hud would be of
inestimable value to tho besieged. It
meant a possible possession of the
point of attack, and it meant a preven
tion of a possible annihilation of the
emperor's army und the probable loss
of his cause.
The devotion of the Japanese people
under such circumstances is a wonder.
It is that devotion which enabled them
to force a peace upon the Russian bear
that had threatened to "walk all over"
their little islands and take possesslon-
of them. It is that devotion that has en
abled them to protect themselTes.whlle
cultivating the commercial methods of
western civilization.
There came a noble to the mikado
and said to him:
U mighty emperor, It is on ac
count of your majesty's virtue that I
feel an impulse spring up within me.
Sly ancestors are looking down upon
mo and smile pleasantly upon me as
I yield to the inspiration. I will dis
guise myself anil olilaln admittance to
tho fortress. There I will observe for
how many days your enemies are sup
plied, and I will return and advise you
of tho fact."
"I am well pleased," replied the em
peror, "that my virtues have produced
in you such a worthy motive. You
havo my ix-nnissiim to go into the
fortress and observe the supply of
food our enemies have and return to
mo and tell me. I will request the
shades of my own ancestor. to watch
over you, but if you die in your nt
tempt you will linve the satisfaction of
knowing that both mine mid your on
cestors will welcome you In splrltlnud.'
So the noble pros) rated himself he
fore tils majesty and turned nnd went
away. That siiine day a man dressed
as a shepherd found access to the
fortress and went among the graua
rli-s and found them nearly empty
There was food enough to last but
two days. The shepherd, sntlstled with
the information he had gained, was
about to leave the foil less when one
who had known him before the war
came on recognized him. The spy wns
seized and hurried before the sliogun
"This man," mild Ills raptor, "is a no
ble who supports the mikado for the
position to which your majesty Is en
tilled. lie has been iiinong us In this
raiment of a shepherd ami knows Just
how mnny days' supply we have on
bund. What shall we do Willi him?'
"Cruel fy hlin." said the sliogun.
With that they Were lending the spy
iway to crucify him when the shegun
ailed to them to bring him back.
"If you will go to the wall," he sal
to the spy, "and tell your people that
we have supplies to lust several weeks
I will spare your life."
"Hint 1 will do," said the other.
"My iineest-irs rail to me to stand tlnn
