77; fw;l PROBLEM !
Among other items connected j
with tlie hu;h cost of living in i
Heppner and one of the most;
important ones, is that of fuel, i
i. ..t.. ....,., i)..ii.,.wi ;a;....i
lwJi Li JMini niiuciiiiiiu'itvda
that a fuel trust has "cornered"
the slabwood output from prac
tically every sawmill in Portland
and adjacent territory and the
prices will continue to be limited
only by that old rule, "all the
traffic will bear."
The announcement made last
week regarding the taking over
of the coal mines up Willow
creek by II. V. Gates, is there
fore welcome to the people of
Heppner who have been at the
mercy of the Portland fuel trust
so long that even to think of
buying a load of slab wood is
sufficient to make the average
citizen "warm" under the col
lar, at least.
The Herald has also been in
formed that some Heppner men
are considering the proposition
of buying stum page up Willow
creek, cutting wood there and
bringing it down by auto truck
to supply the Heppner market.
This plan should also help some
as it is believed first-class pine
wood can be made and delivered
here at a fair profit at a consid
erably less price than has pre
vailed here for several months.
This fuel problem is one of
sufficient importance that it
should attract the attention of
our city and county authorities.
City ollicials in other parts of
the country have many times
taken action to relieve their
citizens of oppressive prices for
necessities and such action might
be taken here. County authori
ties also could co-operate in hav
ing roads leading into the timber
kept in the best condition poss
ible to encourage the bringing
in of fuel supplies at a minimum
of cost for haul.'tre.
insurance for the soldiers and
sailors of the U. S. Army and
Navy will meet with general ap
proval. The American people
are not disposed to be niggardly
w ith the men and boys who are
oJVering the supreme sacrifice for
their country and it is only just
and right that the assurance'
shall be given them that, in case
they never return from the
trenches thejr loved ones at
home will receive some measure
of compensation for the loss of
their support and protection.
Secretary McAdoo has recent
ly called into conference the
heads and managers of all the
big life insurance companies for
the purpose of discussing the
proposition and it is expected a
definite plan will soon be evolved
that will give assurance of suit
able protection to the families
and dependents of our national
defenders.

One day a man appeared at Penton
vllle, a farming village, and opened
negotiations for a flour mill and water
power that had long stood Idle. He
was a melancholy looking man, never
smiling, never chatting familiarly with
those with whom he came in contact
and, above all, uncommunicative about
himself.
At first his reticence was not no
ticed, and no one cared who he was
or where he came from, but as soon
as it was observed that these facts
were not forthcoming every one be
came curious about him. Many a
covert move was made to draw from
him some Information about himself,
but he parried them all so adroitly as
not to give offense and so skillfully as
not to tell anything. The only thing
known about him was his name, Al
bert Partington, and when it became
known that lie was holding back in
formation about hlmsslf it was believ
ed that even that was assumed.
It is a human trait when people are
denied a knowledge about other per
sons' affairs to supply that knowledge
by Inference. Each person In Penton-
ville who assumed reasons for Mr.
Partington's antecedents did so on his
or her account. The women account
ed for his mysterious appearance
among them on the ground of a love
affair. Some of them believed that he
had been crossed in love, some that he
had wronged some woman and was
hiding from the vengeance due htm.
The men favored a theory thnt he had
married a vixen and was hiding from
her or that he had interfered with
some man's domestic affairs and was
keeping out of the way of the injured
husband.
The fitting up of the mill and the
business matters connected with it
were also kept in the dark.
All of a sudden Partington disappear
ed from rentonville, and it was no
ticed thut from the day of his depar
ture all work on his plant stopped.
The property was left in charge of
one Daggett, Mr. Partington's right
hand man, who discharged every work
man, and a solemn stillness settled
down on what before was busy as a
beehive. He resisted all efforts on the
part of inquirers for an explanation.
A few days after Partington's depar
ture a handsomely dressed woman ap
peared In I'entonville and was driven
at once to tlie plant. There was blood
In her eye, but her lips were drawn
tightly together as If she feared that
her ire might lead her to say something
it would not be well to reveal. After
a long conference with Daggett she
wits driven away, no one knew where,
nml the theories of those who had
claimed that Partington's reticence was
occasioned by complli atlons with a
woman seemed to huve been confirmed.
That was the last the episode In the
Partington affair. Daggett remained
awhile longer; then, turning the prop
erty over to a watchman, he too de
parted. One day the world was shocked by
the annotinceineirt that Austria had de
clared war against Servla. and within
it short period there were more such
declarations. A week afler the first
Mr. Partington suddenly nppeared In
Pentonville, the work of preparation
was recommenced, and there was far
more clatter than there had been be
fore. There was now no secrevv with
regard to the pltint, but every one con
nected with It was 80 busy thnt he
had no time to answer questions. In
deed, since It appeared that the prop
ttly was to le used for come kind of
manufacture connected with the war
li) Kurope curiosity was allayed.
There were those who renicmbned
the woman who hud come to IYnton.
lle lunncillately after Partington's de
parture and who claimed that, wheth
er or not lie had come to the place pri
marily on business, he had certainly
I een anxious to escape an angry wom
an. These poisons received continua
tion of their theory on the reappear
nitre of the woman who had been
there before, especially sln e nlie ar
lived at - p. in. and I'Ritlnuton left
t 1..VI, thus r1 aping Iht by t lily the
illume.
Meanwhile men were working night
and day getting tlie plant ready for
production. Then one d.ty a commit
tee of citizens appeared at Mr. Patting
tail's office and told h!m tint it W;n
