The oiling of Main street and por tions of other streets tributary there to by the City of Heppner, in con junction with our business men, is one of the best things that has hap pened to us. It Is an entire success so far; it puts water in the shade and will prove a stroke of real economy. This paper has no estimate to give at this time on the cost of the oiling already done but it is not going be yond what the City Council had fig ured in their estimates, at least not to any considerable amount, and its efficiency as a dust layer and street covering is so pronounced that this extra cost Is really not to be consid ered, If itt should prove that there is an increase In cost over original estimates. already done is sufficient argument in favor of putting the oil on all our streets. A sniaii assessment of the property owners along these streets will b sufficient to get the oiling done, as this paper has the assurance that the City Council will gladly co-operate as they have done with the business, men.

There was an entire absence of anything that would disturb the peace and dignity of the city, and people went quietly to the polls and expressed their preference in naming candidates for the various offices with no one to molest or hinder. Quite a contrast indeed, over some former elections in this town, and a splen did testimonial to the efficiency o the present method of naming can didates, as w$ll as the working of the corrupt practices act. This is a country where we accept the verdict of the majority, and those conditions which bring about an unhampered expression of the will ot the people OUR 9000 ACRE f ARM Practically all irrigated, located five miles from Grass Range will be sold in parcels of 160 acres. This is the last large farm to be cut up in the fam ous Fergus County along the new line of the C. M. & St. P. Ry. GRASS RANGE RANCH CO. GRASS RANGE, MONTANA Strawberries for Canning or Table Use We have always handled the bulk of the canning berry business and expect to this season as well. About June 1st we look for STRAWBERRIES to be at their best, both as to quality and price. We advise those wanting them for canning to leave their orders and we will see that they are filled when both quality and price reach the most eco nomical level. This season, we have made arrangements with some large growers this side of Portland to supply us. This will insure fresh stock. For your information, let us caution you that prac tically all berries will be packed in the new pint boxes. This new package will necessitate your buying a larger number of crates than formerly, but of course the price will be correspondingly lower. LEAVE YOUR ORDERS NOW PHELPS GROCERY CO. ectlons, thus proving, that they are good losers. , A statement appears In this issue J ot the Gazette-Times over the sig nature of Robert Dexter. Mr, Dexter seems to have a grievance which he desires to air before the public, KIs son, Jacob, was Indicted by a grand Jury f) Morrow county on a charge fc! turnlshing liquor to minors. Dur ing a recess term of court held, by j Judge Phelps a couple ot months or so ago, young Dexter was brought in and made a plea of not guilty to the charge In the Indictment, and was released upon giving bonds in the sum of $100 for his appearance. At the regular term of court just closed, the case came on for trial and Dexter was asked by the court If he had an attorney to defend him; he stated that he did not. In the course of procedure this same question was propounded to the boy no less than three different times by Judge Phelps and the reply was made that he had no attorney and did not want one. The question of an attorney for the boy was also put up to his father, who, by the way, saw fit to stay on his ranch while the boy was in courTT and Bob Dexter gave the instruction to let the boy go to trial without an attorney. Judge Phelps was well aware that Dexter was able to see that his boy had counsel to represent him before the Court and jury, and he did not propose to put It up to the taxpayers of Morrow county to see that such counsel was provided. Every opportunity was given the lad to have such representation. FurJ thermore, there was no attempt to In any way take advantage of him either by the judge or the prosecu ting attorney, and any insinuation on the part of Dexter to this effect is resented by all good citizens. Dex ter owns a ranch that is easily worth from $12,000 to $15,000 on which there is no incumbrance, and for him to put up a plea of poverty in a case like this Is redlculous to say the least, and only tends to show that he has but little conception of the duty a father owes to a boy in trouble. Besides this, Dexter is known to be a man that has means. He can loan money and buy bonds and pay his bils, and his credit is good, yet he will let his boy lay out a fifty dollar fine in the county jail simply because he has his neck bowed over what he considers an unfair prosecution. And yet, so far as we know, he does nothing to keep his boy out of such trouble. From what we have been able to learn, he should be thankful that Jacob got off as easy as he did. Mr. Dexter should take some advice: take his boy home and put him under a little good, wholesome restraint, if he is capable of doing so, and not make it necessary for the state to have to take care of him. And then don't come up to the people of Mor row county with the plea of poverty; it don't go with one situated as you are. Ih Opening I'p Xew Garage. Edgar B. Ayers has taken over the old skating rink and Is converting the same Into a modern and up-to-date garage. The mechanical end will be in charge of a first class me chanic and the place is to be open all hours of the day and night.

The big building is well situated for the purpose of a garage and it will be properly equipped to do all kinds of work in that line.
