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.
