Thursday, March 7 1912 SHOULD MOVE OUT. "Every man who lives in a town ought to have enongh pride about him to join every move that is launched to improve his town and make it a more desir able place in which to live," says a paper published in a small but lively Texas town. Another Texas paper, in commenting on this statement, adds: "If you are opposed to doing anything good for your town, move away. That will help some. " There is no town in the country but what this comment applies to. It is even applicable to Heppner, and perhaps other Morrow coun ty towns as well. A kicker in a community may be considered of some value for he does at least keep the progres sive citizen stirred up to a point of successful activity in munici pal affairs, but the man that will do 'nothing not even kick is a burden; he should move on Heppner does not need this class, and certainly has no room for drones. On the other hand, we have no room either for the knocker. He is on a par with the drone and should depart with him. The time is here for active work in boosting and this paper is ready to stand by the booster for the good of the town and the county. He is the proper stuff. When new people come here to look up lands, let us put up to them the good points about our town and county and not magnify the bad ones. Let our merchants and business men extend to them the glad hand, and give them a welcome that will do them good, and by so doing you will instil into your own souls a goodly por tion of that optimism that is con tagious, and that spells success for the movement now inaugura ted for putting Morrow county on the map. Mayor VanVactor believes in doing things, and the way he has mapped out the work for the council will keep the members of that body on the move. There is much that can be accomplished for the good of the town, and it is a pleasure to note that the new mayor has advanced ideas and that he is not slow in putting them into action. Hon. G. W. Phelps, our pres ent incubentof the circuit judge's bench, is a candidate to succeed himself, having been so announ ced through the columns of the Pendleton papers this week. His many friends in this county will be pleased to hear this, and stand ready to do their part in return ing him to this oflice for a full term. Judge Phelps has served the people well and should be elected without opposition. The Heppner Gazette and ; Heppner Times have consolidated under the able editorial manage ment of Vawter Crawford who now owns both plants. Mr. E. M. Shutt who was owner and publisher of the Times has traded his property in Heppner for an alfalfa ranch and will go to farm ing on a scientific and diversified scale. The Condon Times wishes Mr. Crawford all manner of suc cess withhi3 paper and Mr. Shutt the same with his farm. Con don Times. The incubator for infant in dustries is the latest novelty in business. It originated at India napolis, and consists of a four story building, a block big. This provides common facilities to its tenants for economical manufac turing. The small msnufacturer or a beginner pays a moderate rent for water, power, light, heat and hevay insurance, but turns his capital into his business. If the manufacturers had to buy land and erect buildings their in dustries would not grow nearly so rapidly as this incubator en ables them to do. Heppner, the county seat of Morrow county and one of the most prosperous towns of 1600 people in the country, has also decided that it can not support two papers. The Gazette and Times have just been consolida ted, and will be known as the Gazette-Times, with Vawter Crawford as editor and publisher. Brother E. M. Shutt, former publisher of the Times, recently completed his 4th term as sheriff of Morrow county and has just bought a $20,000 alfalfa, dairy and hog ranch near lone, in that county. Joseph Herald. The office of District Attorney is an important one in this dis trict. There is a very large vol ume of business to be transacted, especially in Umatilla county, where probably nine-tenths of the court business is of necessity transacted. Mr. Frederick Stei wer, a rising young attorney of Pendleton, aspires to this place. He was in Heppner several days the past week, "and made a very favorable impression with the voters here. We were especially impressed with him, and he should receive the nominating vote of this end of his district, He is worthy of the support of every republican, for he is clean and capable. Give Steiwer your vote for the nomination. It may be aomewhat early yet to make predictions as to how Morrow county will vote for the numerous candidates in the field for congressional honors. Up until two years ago her vote was always cast for Hon. W. R. Ellis by a large majority when his name appeared on the ticket. At the last election, however, Lafferty carried the county over Ellis as he was looked upon as being the more progressive of the two men. We have in the field this year several entirely new men and out of the bunch it is certainly hard to discover much congressional material. There is Jerry Rusk, who is making a vigorous campaign, and his co league, Mr. Cochran, both of La Grande, and Mr. C. E. Roosevelt of Pendleton, and N. J. Sinnott of The Dalles, beside Mr. Ellis. It looks to us as though the latter gentleman is about the only real timber, from the long experience he has had in the halls of con gress, and unless there is better reasons presented than we see at this stage of the game, Judge Ellis shall be our choice. He may be a "standpatter" but neverthe less he is a good earnest worker for the interests of Oregon and this district in particular, and a pretty safe man to tie to. County Judge Patterson has decicbd that he will stand for an other term, and will make for mal announcement next week. So far as we know at this time, Mr. Patterson is the only aspirant for this important place; in fact it is a position that is not much desired, especially by men who have much business of their own to occupy them, and it would seem that our present incumbent is wise in accepting another term. He doubtless could do better from a salary standpoint but this would take him away from his family much of the time, so he will make the race again. Judge Patterson has made good, and his re-election should be only a question ' of casting the votes. Now let a couple of good men get into the race for commissioners; this is important, and we should have some candidates announced at once. The Taft committee of Morrow county is beginning active work, and expect to be very much alive from now on until after the pri maries. The president has many strong supporters in this section who are anxious to see him get the full support of the party. By the action of the city coun cil on Monday night, the Club building is to be closed to all pub lic meetings until such time as it is put in the proper shape. This is a proper move, and we hope to see the building fitted up with the proper exits so that it can be used at once. It is the only build ing in the town that will accom modate a large crowd, and there is not a week passes that it is not needed. By all means let it be put in proper shape at once. School Notes. (By Su it. Notson.) On the 27th inst., N. C. Maris and the writer visited the school at Lexington, where we found Prof. Wilcox and his assistant teachers working faithfully to advance the work. In the after noon the pupils all assembled in one room, and the plan of work pertaining to the industrial edu cational lines was explained to them. Much interest was mani fested by the pupils. In the evening a public meeting was held, at which Mr. Maris ex plained fully the plan and pur poses of the industrial education movement. The writer outlined the plan for a local school fair. The number of people present and the attention given indicates that Lexington will be found in the front ranks of this work. One citizen of Lexington will add to every first and second prize won by the pupils of the Lexing ton achool, $3 for each first prize and $2 for each second prize. The next day, we visited the lone school. Here we found the work progressing smoothly un der the direction of Prof. Kauf man and his assistants. We were given an opportunity to ad dress the whole school at 1 o'clock. The enthusiastic recep tion on the part of the pupils is evidence that they are in hearty sympathy with the new move ment. Unless something occurs to dampen the enthusiasm of these pupils, lone will carry off many of the prizes in the local contest. After presenting the matter to the school, we met many of the business men and talked with them concerning the matter. We found them favora ble to the movement, and they will give it their hearty support lone will certainly make a show ing in the chicken contest.
