Last year we were the only store handling it in
Heppner, and you all know the sensation a two

It is sold under a money back guarantee, if not

We have yet the first complaint to hear from.
Now is the time to do effective work

the improved appearance of the coun
cil room since it has received atten
tion at the hands of the paper banner
and painter. Some new furniture
has also been added and more will
follow to take the place of the benches
that have been used for so long.
Thtse improvements to the council
room were lone past due.
' At the previous meeting of the
council it was ordered that some
temporary work be done on the streets
to rid them of the mud holes and
loose rock but the committee on
streets and pubile property have not
as yet undertaken this work as they
felt it would bo the means of stirring
up ton much dust and the matter of
securing water for sprinkling pur
poses had not yet been settled. How
ever, the street improvement qusstion
will not down, and the demand for
permanent improvement of our streets
is beinp nrsred more and more by the
protressive business men and properly
owners of the city. At Monday
night's meeting of the council it was
the concensus of opinion that the
time was near at hand to take the
proper steps to initiate this work, and
it may be that the temporary work
proposed will take the shape of pre
paring the streets for the proper
foundation for the permanent hard
surfacing so much needed.

tary conditions, especially withi
reference to water closets and cess

physician, the city attorney is in
structed to draft an ordinance to cover
the construction of ces9 pools and
septic tanks. This ordinance will
place the matter m such shape, that
the council can order septio tanks put

tary conditions demand it, and along
Main street, at least, all Water
closets will be done away with.

upon this subject the marshal was
instructed to report to the city

BORAH FOR
VICE PRESIDENT
Portland, Oregon, April 10, 1912.
(To the Editor)
At the coining primary election,
Oregon Republicans will have an
opportunity to express their choice as
to the several Republican candidates
for President of the United States
but ro steps have been taken to
endorse any candidate for the office
of Vice President. The individual
voter may, however, write in the
name of his favorite for Vice Presi
dent, and in this connection permit
me to v suggest to you Republican
readerB that the name of Senator
William E. Borah, of Llaho.. be
written in and voted for in the custo
mary mannrr.
Senator Borah is recognized as one
of the foremost men in the United
Statos Senate and his record shows
that be is a staunch friend of the
State of Oregon and has supported
eveiy measure tending to benefit the
great Pacific Northwest. Besides
this, Senator Borah's wife is a daugh
ter ofr an honored pioneer of this
State and he is known personally to
many- of our citizens. Senator
Borah is a progressive Rppublican.
ia admired and re sreoted t y all classes
of people, and ia a ftyirless and
brilliant public official. Although he
is not an active candidate for Vice
President, Senator Borah's name has
fnquentlv ben mentioned as a possi
ble nominee, and an unsought endorse
ment at the hands of Oregon Rt publi
cans at the coming primaries would
not only be a fitting tribute to his
worth and standing and the esteem
in which be is held by the people of
this State, but also a splendid compli
ment to our sistei state of Idaho.
Those who faror Seaator Borah s
nomination for vice president may
vote for him by writing "X Borah,
William E. , of Idaho," at the proper
place on the primary ballot.

Senator Bourne.
Hon. Ralph D. Cole.
The claims of President Taft to a
re-nomination were ably presented to
a fair sized hudience at the Star
theater on Ust Friday niaht by Hon.
Ralph D. Cole, ex-cocgressraan. of
Finley, Ohio, who came to Oregon
at the special request of the president
Mr. Cole was received at the depot
by a committee of the local Taft club,
and later was tendered a reception
and banquet at the Palace where,
covers were spread for 50, and wher
goodfellowBhip reigned supreme for
the space of one hour and a quarter.
Short addresses followed the banquet,
Hon. T. J. Mahoney acting as toast
master and calling out a number of
tha gentlemen present. Mr. Cole
spoke words of appreciation for the
courtesies extended to him, stating
that it was the very best reception
that he had received since coming to
the state, but reserved all remarks of
a political nature until the time of
tha set address. W. W. Smesd intro
duced the speaker to the audience,
and for nearly two hours Mr. Cole
presented in an eloquent manner his
reaons for the return of Mr. Taft to
the presidential office for another
four years. The speaker was free
from any personal reflections, did
not mention the name of Mr. Roose
velt, except to praise him for his
good judgment in placing Mr. Taft in
very Important positions of trust.
He mentioned many of the great
achievements of tha present adminis
tration; especially his great work
with reference to the construction cf
the Panama canal and what its com
pletion will mean to this Pacifio

SECOND GAME
A GOOD ONE
At End of First Half of 7th
Inning Score is One and.
lone and Heppner High schools
nrnssed bats in the second game of
the season on lone grounds last Satur
day afternoon, and the result was
one of the very best games ever played
in the county. Unfortunately there
was a late start, and as many of the
Heppner people had to return on the
afternoon train, it was stipulated
that the game Bhould be called off as
goon as the local arrived at lone.
This brouaht the came to an end
following the close of the first half
of the seventh inning, with one tally
only to the credit of each team. The
game waa fast from the beginning
and the teams proved to be very
evenly matched, though the Heppner
bovs are of the opinion that they
were making gains at the end of the
eame and would have pulledout ahead,
providing the full nine innings had
been played. However, they ate
well satisfied with tha result, and
give the lone boys credit for putting
up a mighty good game all tho way
through. We have not learned whether
another game has been definitely
atranced between these two teams.
but understand that there is talk of
the third game being pulled off at
Heppner on Monday afternoon, the
22nd.
Fcllowirg is the summary of the
game as furnished us by Manager

Shall we beat Bourne? Bourne's
speach in advocacy of the Oregon
system has had a greater circulation
than any other speech ever delivered
. mm - 11 A
in the U. S. Senate, more man e.,
7C0.000 copies were mailed on request
alone.
To my mind all the things which
Rnnrnn hts done and is trying to no
shrink into insignificance compared to
the work be has done and . will con
inue to do for Direct Legislation
Tha fif?ht he made in 1906, two years
before B n Selling raluctantly stood
tnr Statement No. 1. made ft possible
for us today to vote for U. S. Senators,
and has forced legislative candidates
to agree to carry out our wishes in
that matter.
Selling claims to have led the fight
for Statement No 1. in Multnomah
two years after the election of Bourne
on that issue. In an open letter to
Selling, Kelleher says : "You refer
to the fact that you led the fight for
Statement No. 1 in Multnomah county
four years ago. This is in spite of
the fact that I was the first candidate
to file for Stafe Senator and in spite
of the fact the friends of Bourne, by
means of petitions had to urge you
to get into the race."
Under date of April 9, 1906, in an
open letter to the Republicans of
Oregon, U'Reu says: "Then some
friends of the law asked Mr. Bourne
to become a candidate for the sole
purpose of enforcing the Statement
No. t agreement of tho law. They
told him at the time it would cost
frnm J10.000 to f 15 ,000 and they did
nnt hnlieve he was well known to be
elected. That through his efforts
fhpv thon-iht the law would be en
forced even though he should not be
elected Senator and they believed he
was big enough man to sacrifice him
self for a principle.
The campaign has
S15.000 for postage,
clerk hire alone.
No other candidate
Seniate has so much
voice or written a line in fuvor of
requiring would-be members of the
legislature to sign Statement No. 1.
1 say these things concerning Mr.
Bourne because I know they are true
and because he has been and is being
more persistently and industriously
lied about and vilified by the enemies
of Statement No. 1 than any other
man in Oregon politics today. I have
never heard any man who knows Mr.
Bourne question his honesty, bit
truthfulness or bis ability."
The same is true today. All
governments. In all ages, are and
have been administered for the benefit
of the governors. We need the
National Initiative, Refreendum and
Recall, and the reelection of Bourne
