SOLVE FIE PROBLEM
H. V. Gates, president of the
Heppner Light & Water Co., and
who has taken a lease on the
Heppner coal mine, 22 miles up
Willow creek, arrived in the city
Tuesday evening bringing with
him three expert coal miners
who will at once proceed to pump
the mine, clear out the tunnels
and make a thorough examina
tion of the property with a view
of determining the extent of the
deposit and also the practicability
of putting the property on a pro
ducing basis this season.
A representative of the Herald
saw Mr. Gates Wednesday morn
ing before he started for the
mine when he said: "It is our
purpose, first of all to determine
whether or not the coal deposit
is extensive enough to justify
the expenditure of the amount
of money necessary to put it on
a producing basis. I have read
"reports" made by mining en
gineers and others who have ex
amined the property but I have
never been able to discover the
most important thing about the
mine, and that is something
definite about how much coal is
there. I have brought with me
three practical coal miners, one
of whom is recommended to me
by responsible coal operators in
Washington, as the best coal
miner in that state, arid I pro
pose to find out for myself just
what is there. I have faith
enough in the property to be
willing to spend a few thousand
dollars to find these things out
and I do not expect to be disap
pointed "
Continuing, Mr. Gates stated
that his main purpose in taking
hold of the property is to provide
cheaper fuel for the Heppner
Lights Water plant, the present
price of slab wood in western
Oregon being well nigh prohibi
tive. Contrary to general be
lief, the Heppner plant has been
operating at a loss for some time
and, unless something can be
done to effect a considerable sav
ing on fuel, which is the big
item of expense, Mr. Gates fears
that changes will have to be
made which may seriously affect
the present 21 hour light and
power service.
Mr. Gates expects, however,
to be able to so develop the coal
mine that he will not only be
ble to supply his own company
with cheaper fuel but also to
furnish fuel to the people of
Heppner and vicinity at a con
siderable saving over present
cost of coal and wood brought in
from the outside.

COMMITTEE GATHERS
PAVING INFORMATION
C. E. Woodson. J. L Wilkitis,
W. W. Stuead aud W. U. McCarty
composing the committee auth
orized by a id eeting of taxpayers
and citizens to visit Pendelton
and Walla Walla to investigate
different types and methods of
street paving, returned Sun
day night after having made as
thorough an iuvestigotion as the
time at their disposal would per
mit. They gathered a fund of
information regarding paving
which no doubt will prove of
great value to lleppuer whenever
this city under takes to make
such improvements and which
will be incorporated into a re
port that will be made to a citi
zen's meeting to be called at an
early date.
The committee was shown
every courtesy by the officials
and citizens of both cities visited
and every opportunity was offer
ed the committee to give Hepp
ner the benefit of their past ex
perienceand mistakes.
Practically all of the paving
in Pendlton is of the bitulithic
type, such as is laid by the War
ren Construction Co.' and the
committee beard nothing but
praise fur that type from the
people of that city.
At Walla they found some of
almost every known form of
paving from the most expesie
forms of asphaltum laid on a
concrete, base, to the cheapest
types of concrete, but from the
best information thev could
gather it appeared that the bit.
ulitbio type seemed to be best
adapted to the climatic conditions'
andeueral needs of those sec
tions. While iu Pendelton the com
mittee had an extended confer
ence with .State Highway Com
missioner Thompson on thegener
al road situation aud they feel that
when the matter of permanent
highway constructiuicoiiies up
in Morrow that the interest of
the taxpayers, the centers of
population, and the general bus
iness interests of the county
will be given a square thai.
The full report of the commit
tee will be published in the Her
