HEPPNER NEEDS HOUSES
Right now Heppner's greatest need
is more houses some place for fami
lies to live.
The town can get along without a
hotel that much has been demon
strated for the past 14 months. We
can get along without water for Irri
gation, street sprinkling and many
other uses when we have to and after
getting used to it but In this climate
it is not quite the right thing to ex
pect families to live in the street or
on some vacant lot without shelter.
And yet that Is what pcrnle who art
now in Heppner will have to do by
the time school starts if they soy
hore. It is a matter of somebody
building more houses or a lot of
families being forced to leave. Many
lpmitite have already left sin : Xt
fire and twit family thai leaves
takes away "st liai, much prosperity
irom the d"ors if iveiy businea.i in
stitution in Viu (uvn
Isn't it about time for Heppner to
wake up and do something? Can we,
as a community afford to allow this
condition to continue? Isn't it pos
sible far the owners of vacant lots
and people who have money to Invest
to get together and build a number
of cheap houses people could be com
fortable in until tl'.iey can do better?
It is a mighty serious situation and
one that, if not remedied soon, will
put Heppner on the skids worse than
the lire did.
COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP
DRIVE SLOW SAVE THE ROADS
Speaking of good roads it might
be well for the people of Morrow
county to learn to take care of the
few miles the county built last year
while we are getting ready to build
more.
The long continued drouth is a
hard test for macadam construction
where speeding is habitually in
dulged in and it is said ttie short
stretches of highway leading out of
Heppner are being rapidly torn to
pieces.
County officials say it seems to be
impossible to regulate excessive
speed by arrests and fines and they
are appealing to the car-owners of
the county, as a straight business
proposition to drive slowly and save
the roads at least ttnttl the rainy
season cornea on.
It may be necessary to vote some
more bonds next year and there may
be voters who will hesitate before
voting more road money after seeing
expensive roads already built being
destroyed by local speed maniacs.
AN OLD STORY
According to recent press dis
patches the U. S. Senate is to insti
tute another inquiry into the price
of "news" or print paper. We re
member when early in the war paper
mounted to the hitherto unheard of
figure of seven cents a pound and
the federal trade commission, or
some other "commission" made an
elaborate investigation into the paper
business and after months of re
search a report was finally made to
the government that it cost the
manufacturers $1.60 per 100 pounds
to make paper and put it on the
market.
anoriiy alter tnis report was
printed in the newspapers of the
country the price of paper advanced
to 7 1-2 cents per pound and it is
still pretty well up. Country print
ers should not become needlessly ex
cited over s.ny prospective reduction
in paper cost. The new investigating
committee may be no more effective
than former ones have been.

TWO

State
TTnat all small towns are pretty
much alike Is hinted at in the follow
ing clipped from an exchange.
What this town needs Is a com
munity lender but the man who
would take that position even tho he
received no pay, would not have an
easy task, flo could accomplish
nothing without co-operntion; and
that essenlal Is lackln in the average
coni'iiunlty. There Is a pretty large
proportion of the population in every
town that, never Intimating, becomes
very vigorous In opposing whatever
is proposed. They may really have
no real reason, but It is their nature
to oonose whatever is proposed.
t. specially Is t'le opposition to pro
gress marked in the smaller com
uiuiiitU'B, where, as the saying goes,
everybody knows everybody else. And
(he mere fact thut thesi opponents
are acquainted with a man, no good
in their narrow Judgment, can come
nut of lilm. This fnct explains why
KliM'igeiB often can come Into a com
mU'iity snd "put across" something
thai a resident of the community
could not possibly do.
Kiinlllnrltv breeds contempt of
tii li'hbors lo a large extent.
Tho people of Morrow County and
especially the dairy men and live
stock breeders are interested in the
fact that the State Dairy and Hog
sl ow will be held in Heimislon the
22, 23 and 24 of October.
The State Dalryniens' Convention
will meet at Hermlston on October,
4 and 2 5. At the conference held
in that place on last Monday, the
Commercial Club of Hermlston in
vited us to make Oct. 24th the Mor
row county day.
This appeals to us as a good idea
as it will enable any of us to attend
both events on one day, which will
probably be the best day of the four.
We should clearly get in our minds
that this is not a Umatilla County
ccaslon nor yet a Hermlston fair.
These are both of them state wide
events which are to be held at our
very doors.
Morrow County 'has many people
who are very greatly Interested in
hogs and rows and will, we believe,
b increaslngy so as time goes on
und we are very fortunate in having
these events mi close at hand.
It Is our understanding that the
State Dairy and Hog Show will be an
annual event In that city.

son G. Ruggles, Hood River dahlia
fancier, who has more than 50 va-
ieties of gorgeous1 flowers, has de
veloped a specimen this season'that
e calls "The Roosevelt Smile." The
freak flowers are on the Siamese
twin order, and double bloomers. The
petals are a cream color, with the
double center of old gold. The cen
ter is so formed that one immediate
ly notices a likeness to Teddy's char
acteristic grin, so favored of car
toonists. Mr. Ruggles will try fur
ther development of this dahlia next
year.
