Many people were in from the country, which gave the town a holiday appearance. The Ladies Aid served ice cream and cake at the reading room, school was closed, and as the day was ideal, everyone was in excellent spirits. suspicion; Suspicion lias cost more lives, ruined more .reputations, incited more wars than any other single factor. It has bankrupted men and ruined women. It has separated the child from its parents. It has given a pretext to the executioner and a reason for the mob. Suspicion is the parent of all that is vile and vicious. It has not a re deeming quality to lift it from its degradation. Yet it is the most com mon of tiie weak and wretched char acteristics of man. Perhaps it is because he was conceived in iniquity and born in sin. The very essence of the rising de mand for publicity, truth, fair play and a square deal is to be found in the growing repugnance to attacks on men and institutions, on policies and political parties by those danger ous demagogues who have the gift of persuasive speech and who strike, with tiie poisoned fangs of suspicion, at everything that stands in their way. Heartless, sordid, mercenary, sel fish to the last degree, ready to sac rifice friend or foe to accomplish their own advancement and enrich ment, they have undermined the very foundations of reason and are now assailing the temple of justice itself. It is fortunate that, in the provi dence of God, the patriotic spirit of the American people is at last being aroused against the growing perils of a situation in which demagogues are asserting leadership on a plat form of suspicion and destruction. They go well together. Leslies. The Grass Range Country In Montana. H) JOHN' A. KOI. Alt. man, Canon 44; Ksterly 124; Un tral Montana, famous for its mild winters, is forging to the front. Less than a year ago the Milwaukee rail road completed its Great Falls line to the town of Grass Range and it is expected that it will be continued on east through a fertile country this year, thus opening to cultivation a vast territory which heretofore has been a stock country only as lack of transportation precluded diversi fied farming. The Great Northern railroad is al so building directly into this territory from Lewiston on east and will build up many new towns. The Soo and the Northern Pacific, not to be outdone are both in the field for new lines, in fact all these lines of railroads are now recognizing it as a territory in whose future de velopment theyswant a hand, real izing that this country will furnish an almost unlimited supply oyf pro- aucis ana create a neavy tonnage tor their lines. A good idea of the climate can be had from the work on construction of an Irrigation system now being put in. Team work on the canals has been in progress for the past 14 months, and plowing has been done a part of the time in every month since the work began. The unusual heavy rainfall, aver aging over 19 inches yearly, of which 10 inches fall during the late spring and early summer, makes it a sure crop country, besides there are thou sands of acres of irrigated land and thousands of acres yet to be irrigat ed by tiie mountain streams with their never failing supply of water. Under irrigation tiie crops are be yond conception, and the growth of alfalfa, timothy, clover, as well as all other crops cannot be surpassed anywhere in the Northwest. With a healthy, invigorating cli mate, 10 degrees warmer than the well-known Judith Basin, an eleva tion of only 3,000 feet, a soil whose richness and depth are not surpassed anywhere in the Northwest, its fu ture still in the making, it is" an ideal country for a man with modest means to get a start and see his ef forts crowned with success, not easi ly found in any other country; he can establish his home amidst unusually favorable environments and the rapid development by railroads and oth:r agencies will make fur him sin round ngs ideal. -Tt. is a brand new country and the prices of land have not yet reached a height commensurate with the val ue of the products, and to anyone in terested if they will send me a stamped envelope, I will gladly an swer any questions asked. I have nothing to sell but I want to see the country settled up with a progressive class of people. Fast Regaining Him Health, Percy Jarman, of Butter creek, was in Heppner a couple of days this week, the first time in many months. He recently returned from a trip to Rochester, Minn., where he was un der treatment of the renowned Mayo brothers at their, hospital. His op eration was a very serious one but lie recovered from it in good shape and is now on the road to full res toration to health. The many friends of Mr. Jarman In this city rejoice with him over his recovery and hope that it may prove to be permanent, as there is every indication it will be. Aniniul Killed by Lightning. There was a lively electric storm on Eight Mile Thursday evening last, and lightning struck on the farm of Howard Anderson, killing one of his best mares. Mr. Anderson was on his back porch at the time and the bolt hit about eighty yards from the house. We have no other reports of damage by the storm which was not of long duration but puite severe. The rain falling at the time was of much bene.t to the growing crops, so states Mr. Anderson. Former Heppner Hoy Honored. Word came yesterday that Paul V. Maris, a Portland boy, had been ap pointed agricultural agent for Saline county, Missouri, the banner county of the state. Testimony to Mr. Maris' efficiency Is in the fact that the director of the work for the state had been looking for a man whon he could recommend for a year. Mr. Mans is a graduate of Pacific college and took the agricultural course of Oregon Agricultural col- ege. He was field editor of Rural Spirit for a year, then was appointed chief deputy dairy and food commiss ioner. He held this position two and a half years, then accepted a government position in Colorado in connection with the state agricultur al college, spending half his time in the class room and the remainder n extension work throughout the state. Two years amo he gave up this position to take advanced work in the University of Missouri, where he will receive the degree master of science, in June. He will take up his new duties immediately after school closes. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. N. C. Maris, live at 35 East Ninth street north. His father is organizer of boys' and girls' agricultural clubs in the state department of public in struction. Oregon Journal. Guaranteed Wear-Ever Hosiery For Men and Women.
