A new arrival on our desk
this week is the Umatilla New

was published on Jan. 8. Willis
J. Pegg, formerly of the Hunt
ington News, is editor. Uma
tilla is the oldest town of this
section of Oregon and is so sit
uated that it should become a
great distributing point for a
large section when the Columbia

New Era has this vision, and
takes an optimistic view of the
future of its town and surround
ings. We extend our fraternal
greetings and wish Mr. Pegg
every success in his new venture,

Gilliam.

This county is certainly entitled
to a representative in the legisla
ture. We are tied on to Umatil

joint district, virtually having
no representation at all so long
as a man from another county is
elected. This county can have
the joint representative if they
will only put forward
Umatilla is willing to give us this
much and we certainly have the
man. It is time to get awake on
this proposition.
To complete organization, the
Commercial Club of Heppner will
meet tomorrow evening at 7:30
at the Council Chambers. It is
very important that every busi
ness man of Heppner be present
to take part in the selection of
officers and the discussion of
dans of work. A live commer
cial club is needed at Heppner,
There is no need of argument,
this is admitted. If you are
there to help we will have it.
The June. 1913, issue of the
Quarterly of the Oregon Histori
cal Society has been received at
this office. It is a publication of
great value, indeed. The num
ber is inscribed to the memory of
Harvey W. Scott, editor, pioneer,
scholar, commonwealth builder,
exponent of national authority,
leader of thought in the forma
tion of the Oregon country, and
distinguished figure in American
journalism. His breadth and re
source of mind, his grasp of abi
ding principles, his teachings of
sturdy moralities, his powers of
exposition, made him widely ad
mired. His life labor as helper
of men in the Pacific West made
him widely beloved. The review
is by Alfred Holman, editor of
the San Francisco Argonaut, and
covers the half-century career of
Mr. Scott as editor of the Ore-gonian.
Things political are beginning
to move up around Morrow courv
ty and some announcements ap
pear this week. J. A. Waters,
of lone, and A. M. Mallory, of
Heppner, are seeking the repub
lican nomination for Clerk, and
it is understood that E. R. Hus
ton, of Eight Mile, will go in for
the nomination on the democratic
ticket. Other men are being
talked of for other places and
there seems to be many probable
candidates who may become act
ive before many weeks pass,
The primary campaign gives
promise of being a lively one.
26th
Annual Meeting
First National.
of
At the council meeting on
Monday evening a conditional
order was given to Beall & Co.,
of Portland, for an oil sprinkler
to be used on the streets of Hepp
ner. If it is found at the end of
thirty days that it is the desire of
the majority of the business men
of the town that the machine be
purchased, the order will stand
and the sprinkler will be install
ed. There has been much dis
cussion of this street oiling prop
osition for a year or two past,
and it has also been figured out
that the oiling should be done at
around the same figure that is
paid out each year for street
sprinkling, and if this is so, there
is no good reason for not taking
this method of keeping down the
dust With the methods now

How It Fade to FrMz.
Freezing to death is preceded ty
drowsiness, which makes the end
painless, the body actually feeling
warm and going comfortably to
sleep. Experiments have been made
with animals to show just how
freezing to death proceeds. In one
of these experiments, in which the
animal was placed in a temperature
or from lib to loO below zero, the
breathing and heart beats were at
first quickened, the organic heat of
the body actually rising above nor
ma which is 98.6 degrees Fahren
heit. This showed a sudden and in
tense effort on the part of the func
tions to preserve the body's tem
perature. Then violent heart action
gave out suddenly and death came
when the temperature of the body
dropped to 71 degrees Fahrenheit.
Springfield Republican.
Poet and Pugilist.
In his youth the ability of Rich
ard Hengist Home, the author of
"Orion" and other poems, as a box
er stood him on more than one oc
casion in good stead. ;. During the
time he was serving in the Mexican
navy he was one night when on
shore attacked by two desperadoes,
who, armed with knives, thought to
have an easy prey. Woefully, how
ever, were they mistaken, for
Horne, seeing what they were up to,
dodged their onslaught and with a
couple of well directed blows laid
them sprawling at his feet.
Raw Meat tating.
In Italy the devouring of raw
meat in restaurants is now so com
mon as to be to women, at any
rate a public annoyance. The wait
er brings the slab of beefsteak and
exhibits it to the eyes of the man
about to lunch, who watches the
process of cutting and of sprinkling
with a little oil and vinegar. Over
the dish is then poured a raw egg.
And if any traveler has too good
an appetite lie can quench it by the
spectacle of the preparation and
consumption of that luncheon.

2-Way Sidehill Plow.
The accompanying cut illustrates the very latest
improvements in Plow construction, showing several
advantages over any other Sidehill Plow on the mar
ket.
One of the most important of these improvements
is the extra long axle, making the distance between
the wheels 8 inches greater than any other make of
Plow. This of itself is a great advantage to the user,
as it allows a greater adjustment of the bottoms, that
is a 16 inch Plow can be made to turn 18 or even 20 inches of ground on sidehill work, and also makes the
Plow much harder to upset on steep ground.
