NUMBER 11 Herald ER o o'o HUSTLING HEEDED TO GET GOOD ROAD A delegation of Heppner citi zens composed of County Com missioner George Currati, City Councilman W. G. MeCarty, J. L. Wilkius, of the Paiace Hotel and W. W. Smead, secretary of the commercial club, went to Arlington Tuesday to attend a meeting having for its object the inauguration of a program for road building uuder the provisions of the receut bonding act. Considerable discussion was indulged in regarding the rela tive merits of the so called "Col umbia river" and the "Heppner Pilot Rock" routes the idea be ing brought out in a general way that both routes should be built and that both ends of the county should co operate iu advancing the interests of each other. Residents of the north end of the county claim that ten miles of the road from the Umatilla county line west, can be made ready for the paving at a very light expense and the same con dition was reported by the Hepp ner delegation as regards the nine or ten miles of road be tween Heppner and' Lexingtou. It is therefore probable that a plan satisfactory to all concerned will be worked out on the basis of building those two section soon. It is certain that, if Morrow county is to receive any benefit from the bonding plan, action must be taken without delay. Neither the members of the State Highway commission nor the residents of other counties and sections of the state are go ing to bring us our good roads on a silver platter. If we want a section of good road built this year it is up to us to get out aud hustle for it. We will get no where nodding in the shade. -We need to "Lot'er Buck" aud then dig the bpurs in and keep'er bucking until we get at least ten miles of paved road in the county as a starter and when that much is accomplished wo will begin to find things coming out way. There is nothing succeeds like success. If we never get the first ten miles of good road we will never get 11 nor any other greater number of miles in the county. Vim and vigor, properly directed, spell Victory in any sort of an undertaking. WORK WANTED -My exper ienced wotnau. cook for harvest crew, has no children.

GUNSTER VETERINARIAN L1CLNSLD CRADUA1 L The Fuel Question The fuel question is going to be a serious one for many resi dents of Heppner and Morrow county within the next few months if some steps are not taken to meei the extortionate charges which may be expected from the Portland fuel trust, if reports from that city are to be believed. With the entire output of slab wood contracted by certain deal ers in Portland, and prices be ing arbitrarially advanced in inid-sumincr, it may be fairly expected that prices will exceed those of last winter which were beyond reason. The Herald is informed that within some 20 miles of Heppner, on government land, there is a large quantity of fire killed black pine which would make excellent wood and which can be reached by constructing a short stretch of road making it possible to bring wood to' town by motor truck at a cost for cutting and hauling which should make it possible to supply wood to the people at a price consumers can afford to pay. This matter would appear to be of sufficient importance to warrant our city officials in mak iug some investigation with a view to securing fuel for the people of Heppner at a fair price: It is not good business to send our money to Portland in payment of extortionate charges for inferior slabwood if a better quality of fuel can be secured in Morrow county at a less price and the money thus kept at home to help make gen eral busiuess better in Heppner. Ciop Prospects Brighter Reports from Lexington yes terday indicate that the wheat iu that section, where harvest ing has commenced is yielding better thaa was expected. Chas Pointer, who started his combine a few days ago is getting H bushels per acre and at the W. B. Finley farm, below the base line and near the edge of the sand country a yield of from V to 15 bushels is reported. Mr. Woodwind, v ho bought the W . E. Brown place four miles north of town recently told the Herald yesterday that ho estimates that nothing can pre vent him harvesting 10 bushels and if the weather will cool off a little, even without rain, his plate wilKmake 15 bushels. John Pad be i' yesterday esti mated his crop nt 15 bushels. The weather is it little cooler as we go to press today mid the crop j'ullo jk i brighter. eol I PS ootid ili'-l v " Sheep Command Good Prices Recent leporti show thatthere1 .,, .
