Thursday, June 12, - . - 1913 STEAM ROLLERS. With Mrs. Pankhurstout of jail again; with Roosevelt acquitted of the charge of drunkenness; with the passage of the seven teenth amendment to the consti tution; the hopeless prospect of a scrap with Japan; with Jtkj Johnson in the pen, theColumljia river flood receding, and a reas onably good prospect for the com ing harvest, what is the poor pencil pusher to do for something to write about? No excitement. Even baseball cannot arouse any special interest in the average citizen. Exerything seems tame and commonplace. For the last week only one subject has suc ceeded in creating a ripple upon the placid surface of the quies cent desuetude that seems to have taken possession of the entire mass of humanity, and that is the Steam Roller. Of course, this refers to the real thing, and not to a figure of speech applied to certain methods sometimes employed to get rid of a trouble some opponent. . It is charged that some parties! are decidedly m favor of steam Irollers. And that they are so determined upon indulging the luxury derived from the posses sion, operation and attainments of the steam roller as to have de cided to resort to steam roller methods in order to obtain one. Now, we don't know whethei this charge is well founded or not. We are loath to accept it in its entirety, altho there is doubt less some ground for the accusa tion. However, we take no sides to the controversy at the present, but merely state the facts, and would gladly do what we can to bring about a peaceable solution of the difficulty, that there be no broken bones or blood shed. If both parties to the contro versy will get together, not for a scrap, but for a friendly discus sion of the proposition upon its merits, we opine they will find that they all want the same things when they come to fully understand each other. TOOT YOUR HORN. The coming county fair will call for music adapted to the oc casion. Time was when a fife and drum corps filled every re quirement in such cases, but that! time is past. The public ear has . been attuned to more melodious j strains, and nothing short of a ' brass band with drum accompan-1 iments will satisfy the cultured, taste of the adult citizen, or fill Young America with the proper amount of enthusiasm of approved quality. In the dim and distant. y imw tan past even before the flood Heppner boasted a Symphony band that was the pride of the city and a joy to all visitors. The great catastrophe of June 14, 1903, wiped it out of existence, and tho some ieeble attempts have been made since then to assemble a cornet band that would identify itself with the city as one of its permanent institutions, such at tempts have been abortive from the lack of competent leadership, and the moral and financial back ing of the substantial business and professional people of the town. There is the nucleus of a good band already here. It would be necessary to buy a few more in struments perhaps, to bring it up to the proper standard of respec tability, but if the good people of Heppner can focus their minds upon the proposition long enough to appreciate its benefits to the town, this difficulty could be eas ily overcome. It seems to us that the time is ripe for a movement of this kind ar.d wre hope to see some of our musical folk take it up. With the organization of the Morrow County Fair, the organi zation of a county pioneers' asso ciation ought to be considered. The time is coming when every fact relating to early settlement and history of the county will be of great value. Unless some spe cial effort is made to collect and preserve them, many incidents connected with the first settle ment and subsequent develop ment of the country will be for ever lost. The coming together of the people at the county fair will be an opportune time for the pioneers' meeting. We shall hope to see this matter taken up by a goodly number of those di rectly interested in the move ment who, -realizing its import ance, will carry it forward to completion. A fellow remarked the other day that it was nothing remark able that "Don," the talking dog of Germany, could speak, since his vocabulary consisted of Ger man words.

Centerville Times. You are mighty well off, Frank, if you have but one of him in your town. Here in Heppner we have half a dozen and would gladly pay post age upon the whole caboodle in order to get rid of them, should any one want them. It is stated that if one grain of corn could be added to each ear there would be a revenue thus derived to pay for all the agricul tural colleges now in operation and if no seed were planted with out being tested, our crops would be increased to an amount suffi cient to pay the national debt every year.
