Testing Crude Oil.
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.
For Counterfeiting.
Ralph Fouts, 21 years of Bge, was

examination and was placed under
bonds of $5000 for his appearance be
fore the federal court and was re
manded to the custody of the marshal
who took him to Portland Friday

F. Morris who was arrested by Glover

Hay For Sale.
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. About 25,000
tons of alfalfa will be raised in the
immediate vieinity of Prineville this
year. Labor is plentiful. The farmers
are paying $1.50 per day for bav
hands. Prineville Review
