A bunch of men started to work on the block from the Fait building to the Sanitarium Monday morning treat iug the surface of the street to a coat ing of crude oil. This is being done as an experiment on the part of the city authorities, as it has been though a good plan for some time to test ou the street oiling proposition. It was spread by hand after being heated, as the city lias no regular aparatus for putting it on. After spreading the oil from the spouts of a hand sprinkler it was thoroughly raked into the sur face of trie street, and the dust wel laid. It would have the arp-arance of working well tho it lias not been on long enough for a thorough test yet. In many localities the crude oil is used very successfully for this pur pose and there is no reason why i should not work at Heppner. The matter of cost has been an item t contend with as we are too far re moved from the oil region and freight rates on the auanity needed here would be too high according to any figures that can be had at present, Howover, this may be adjusted so that the oil can be handled for the streets and a good oiled surface kept up the ye at around.

About 130 tons of alfalfa at the John Hughes place 4 miles north of Heppner. Parties buying same can have place for feeding. Inquire or write Matt T. Hughes Heppner, Oregon. The hay crop in this vicinity is much larger than predicted in the early spring. It was thooht because of the extended cold weather in the early part of the year that the crop would yield only about one-half the osual amount but very favorable grow ing weather in July brought the yield no to neatly normal.
