WHY NOT HEPPNER?
Heppner boasts of graded streets
and crosswalks that are really cross
walss. Under the present administration of
city affairs more improvements have
been made than were made in the
Drevinns twenty years, (.luce befbre
in twenty vpurs time the streets were
graded and a fjeijeral building of side
walks and improvement of property
was prevelent over the entire town.
This wave of improvetiieut took
place in 1902 and until the present ad
ministratiou the people have bten con
tented to allow things to drift. A
towii is just what its ppople make it.
Hence, Heppner is jnst what its citi
zetis want it to be. The building
of the High school is a monument to
the school board and to the peoplo of
Hecpner. Good schools are a eom
munity's best asset and the more
schools Henoner can secure the better
the town will benome.
But the town in general must be
kept up to a standard. No man wants
to settle down in a community where
the dust from the streets rises in a
cloud at every little gust of wind and
then settles down into the home, cany
ing with it disease and filth. Nor
doest he country man care to come to
the town to tend his children to
school where the children are forced
to wade through mud to get to and
from the school. These loxnrieg can
be had in the country at toe district
schoo's.
Dirt streets and board sidewalks
are not an inducement to those who
are seeking culture and refinement to
locate in a community. The novelist
likes to write sentimental stories about
the tumbled down villages and the
imblic revels in the discription thereof
but living in a tumbled down village
is different from reading of one and
the family man today wants conven
ience.
There are hundreds of towns in
California. Oreeon, Washington and
other western states, no larger than
Heppner which advertise caved atreest
paved walks, complete sewerage and
full course high schools,, cariving
manual training and domestic science.
Thes conveniences were brought about
by bond issue. These towns are grow
ire steadi v. Thev have no more
natural resources than Heppuer has,
but their people are rot afraid to look
into the future.
Property is not too high in Hepo
nor, proviiing the city gives its people
something in return, but at present
property in Heppner or any other town
that is content tu stand still is no
more valuable than ic will produce.
Spur, lexiia, was built from a bleak
prairie to a town of 900 souls over
night. Paved street, paved pide
walks and sewerage did it. Spnr sits
in the heart of a big cattle ranch, but
today it has 2,.'j00 thrifty people. In
the earlv spring of 199 it was Brazing
land and rart of the Spur Cattle
Company's holdings. Taxes are higher
in these communites but the people
are getting something for their money.
Municipal ituDnvements are just as
valuable to the property owner as
direct improvement of individual prop
erty. 'if what value is an alfalfa field in
the heart cf the Sahara deset?
Heopne has the rock and the sand
to build good steets and do it cheaply.
Thousands of other towns Rre forced
to pav freight on these materials.
Great cities are built on bonded
indpbtedness. Great corporations are
made the same way and great com
monwealths erow t) perfection throrfgh
the same channels. All over the
United States the states anil counties
are building macadam highways.
These roads are better than any street
in Heppner. The roads are built
through the means of bond issues and
the coming generation will help pay
for the conveniences they are to enjoy
A bond issue to pave Main, May,
Chase and Gale streets should be the
first thing Heppner people should
consider. Then sewerage and the
rest will fellow.
When t lie Morrow county court
honse was built a certain stockin
raised an awful fuss. When the new
iiicn school was ouiic tins same
(stockman und city pr perty owner
hollered again, but today he is in
Portland offering Heppner and Mr,r
row countv property for sain. He
talks louder of the court house and
the school building than any other
asset. He has found what the man
seeking a location wants.

The fact that onions frnm Texns,
potatoes from California find egas and
poultry from points outside of Ormori
are being received in Portland in car
load lota while the farmer in the
irmiifdiate vicinity of the city, as
well as those tributary to the railioads
leading to this market, cannot find a
market for their produce at any price
has led the Portland Realty Board to
actively take up the question of es
tablishing public markets where gar
deners and farmer may dispose of
their podncts direct to the consumer
with great benefit to buth. It is
stated that the fact farmers cannot
sell their own crops in Portland with
out a license, and the fui'ther fact that
the commission men will not buy from
him except at their own prices, is
causing many farmers to allow fruits
and vegetables to go to waste lather
than dispose of them at a loss.
You will have to hurry before your
size is gone.

Attention has recently been called,
by the Oregon Agricultural College,
to the fact that many farmers who
are so unfortunate as to have hav in
jured or spoiled by rain are making
the mistake of either burning it in
the field or allowing it to rot in pilea.
It is stated that spoiled clover or al
falfa hay ie worth $8 50 to 10 00 per
ton as a fertilizer if evenly spread
over the fi;ld3 and plowed under, and
that every ton of hay so worked into
the soil is approximately worth four
tens of fresh niannre. A ton of clover
hay contains 40 pounds of nitrogen,!
pounds of phosphorus and 30 pounds
of potash, which, if purchased in the
open market would cost the farmer
about $10.50, and as olover and vetch i
are yielding about 2i tons per acre I
this season, the plowing under of the
ppoiled hay adds a fertilizer value of
not less than S25 to each acre.
