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. This
city now ships more chickens and
eggs than any other point on the
