TION TO BE COMPLETED
The legal steps necessary to
bring about the organization of
the cooperative creamery are
now about completed by attorney
C. E. Woodson. In fact, that
part of the business is so well in
hand that Mr. Sparling, the or
ganizer, has fixed Saturday, April
25, at 2:30 p. m., as the date for
completing the organization. The
meeting will be held at I. O. O.
F. hall in Heppner, and will be
open to everybody interested in
the development of this very val
uable industry.
Thus far, shares to the extent
of $4800 have been sold, which
insures the purchase of a lot and
the erection of a suitable building
thereon. It is expected that a
considerable sum will be raised
in addition to that already in
hand to take care of the early
operation of the factory.
The amounts already subscribed
are now due and should be paid
at the very earliest convenience
of the shareholders. Clyde Brock,
temporary treasurer, is prepared
to take care of the funds.

After having'spent the winter
months in Heppner, D. B. Stal-
ter took his departure on Wed

Heppner Mining Company in the
Greenhorn mountains near Sus-

ter has great faith in the rich
ness of his mine, and hopes that
before many more years it will
have been suffiently developed to
be disposed of at much profit to
himself and those associated
with him.
A Reply.
The man the Bulletin evident
ly refers to at the heading of his
last issue, did not wish or expect
to draw the Bulletin into a debate
on the subject of liquor advertis
ing", nor is he blinded by "ignor
ance or party precedence" but
simply desires to do his duty in
calling attention to that concern
ing the welfare of the young peo
ple, and as a good citizen and a
Christian who is certainly as lib
eral minded as a man can be.
Sometimes, my brother, we
think because our own minds are
beclouded by error, that the cob
webs we see are in the mind of
the other fellow, when they are
really in'our own.
If we "boost" let us boost for
the right and whatever is for the
good of our fellow men and thus
show our honesty and intelli
gence, if you please.
Yours respectfully,
Royal O. Brown, lone Or.

Two-Magazine Model K Linotype
The above is a picture of the new Model "K" Linotype
installed this week in our o(Tice,and since it lias been put iu ope
ration it lias been the object of much interest bv the friends of
this paper.
This ni:u'liin is nnn nf ihr
the as'o. It is the dream of every country newspaper man, but
its price has always been a bar to the realization of such a
uroam. However, Hie JMergeiithaler Linotype Co. are now
ninkiiitr such attractive tonus on this model that the nvovairp
weekly in the smaller towns
recently installed quite a number in Oregon, Y aslnngton and
Idaho.
Our machine is the first one
row county, and we have set up a part of this issue on it. Mr.
G. O. Moorhead. aoent of the Coinnanv. and an pxnert Linotvne
operator, put in two days of hard work with us installing the
niacnme and instructing our loree in t lie manner ot its opera
tion, and for his faithful and painstaking care he has our sin
cere thanks.
To our many friends and readers we extend a cordial invi
tation to come in and see the machine work; we can explain it
to you better in that way than by any word picture, so don't
fail to call and see it.
By adding this improvement to our equipment we are bet
ter prepared than ever to serve our readers and tlio public in
general. AVc have faith in the future of our business and in
the community in which we have resided for the past twenty
five years, and feel that our efforts to make a clean, newsy
local paper will be appreciated still more in the days to come
than they have been in the past. We are not "blowing our
heads off" with big promises, neither will we put the paper
ahead of the field and beyond a point where it is not a paying
proposition. So we shall let the paper continue to speak for
itself, knowing that improvements we are to make will be of
genuine value to our readers and advertisers, and we shall
therefore bo content to continue in the enjoyment of the splen
did patronage the people of Heppner and the entire county
have accorded us.
It lias cost us a heavy outlay in cash. We shall need
those subscription dollars and we know that you will see that
Ave get them. 'Nuff said.

RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED BY
E. O. EDITORIAL ASSOCIATION.
Following is a complete list of
resolutions adopted by the Eastern
Oregon Editorial Association at the
meeting recently held in Pendleton.
"We wish to go upon record as op
posing any further invasions in the
field of legislation and public admin
istration of freak laws and policies,
tending to interfere with industries
and the development of our state,
along the lines of legitimate busi
ness. We pledge ourselves to give
the fullest publicity to all abuses of
a public nature and believe in the
enforcement of laws giving the
people the greatest possible publicity
in local and state affairs, to the end
that they may have the fullest
knowledge of what their public ser
vants are doing w ith the taxes wrung
from the people.
"We favor the election of careful
and conservative public officials to
all offices, men who will restore con
fidence in our state and promote its
development by making investments
in property secure, and more certain
to bring returns that will be satis
factory to our own citizens and to
those who may come to cast their
lot with us.
"The further development of east
ern Oregon is largely dependent up
on the improvement of our great
waterway, the Columbia river, and
the completion of contemplated irri
gation projects. Wo therefore urge
the promotion of this development
by the press of this part of the state
and pledge ourselves as nn organiza
tion to work for the same in all
proper ways.
"We are further pledged to stand
for clean men and clean policies, the
promotion of all those things iu our
different fields that stand for ad
vancement in public and private
morals, that the press of our state
may bo a great moving factor in the
upbuilding of the civic side, as well
as the great motive power back of
our commercial activities.

THE III
Four Big Railroads Have
Joined With the Coast
Cities to Boost in 1915.
Portland, Or., Apr. 14 (Spe
cial) --During the past week rep
resentatives of the four great
railroads traversing this territory
joined with the commercial or
ganizations of Portland, Spokane,
Tacoma and Seattle in the prepa
ration of plans for properly pre
senting the numerous attractions
of the Pacific Northwest to the
tourists who will next year make
a pilgrimage to tne exposition at
San Francisco. Another confer
ence will be held in about two
weeks at which time the details
of some co-operative scheme will
be worked out. It is probable
that a tourist bureau will be es
tablished at some central point in
the Middle West from which ef
forts will be made to induce tour
ists to purchase tickets over lines
serving the Northwest states.
The expenses of such a bureau
will be borne jointly by the rail
roads and the commercial clubs.
April 25 has been set aside as
"Good Roads Day" in Oregon and
on that date it is expected that
not less than 2,000 husky men
from the Portland Ad Club and
similar organizations will don
overalls, arm themselves with
pick and shovel, grab their trusty
dinner pail and go forth to do a
more or less serious day's work
on the roads. The O-W. R. &N.
Ry. will run a special train of
flat cars to various points on the
Columbia River Highway and the
gas company and various con
tracting firms will loan the neces
sary tools. Governor West and
the county road officials will be
present to see that the amateur
laborers do no loafing on the job.
All other parts of the state are
expected to tall in line and the
aggregate result should be many
miles ot well improved roads.
At a recent meeting of the
Manufacturer's Association of
Oregon, strong resolutiohs were
adopted favoring common point
rates for Astoria. The discrimi
nation against Astoria and in fa
vor of the Puget Sound and other
Coast cities, has been a serious
handicap not only to the develop
ment of Astoria but to the entire
Columbia River basin. It is be
lieved that the granting of ter
minal rates to Astoria will be of
great benefit to the entire state
of Oregon.
"Commercial clubs in Oregon
are getting busy," said Tom
Richardson after a visit to nume
rous points throughout the state.
"Salem is a notable example of
community union. There is no
discord at the Capitol city, the
entire citizenship is a chorus in
its commercial club work. Re
cently the club has almost dou
bled in membership and is plan
ning many new undertakings for
the benefit of the surrounding
territory as well as for the wel
fare of the city. The Cherry
Fair, especially, is to be made
bigger and better than ever."
At Eugene, M. J. Duryea has
been elected Commercial Club
secretary for another year. He
is devoted to his work and Eu
gene appreciates him. JuddFish
has retired from the secretary
ship at The Dalles and his place
will be filled by E. R. Hill, unex
perienced man. Fossil is happy
over a most successful two months
commercial club experience.
