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.

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.
