have bpen disposed of will it not be
clear that the people who buy the su
gar, will pay for the sugar and in ad
dition the tolls and that the whole
amount will be sent away to a for
eign country and be lost to our coun
try forever?
How much of that kind of work
will it require to cause that era of
prosperity to dawn? Meanwhile,
how will the sugar producers of the
west and south be prospering?

DR.
WALKER'S PLACE IN
TORY.
HIS-
The best way to start this story
Is to make the statement that Susan
B. Anthony, the great reformer, died
in1906.
Getting back to more modern
times, the Custom Cutter's Associa
tion of America and Dr. Mary Wal
ker had their headquarters at the
New Willard Hotel in Washington
during the first week of last Febru
ary. On the evening set for the an
nual banquet given by the associa
tion to its members and their women
relatives, somebody approached L.
B. fiprengel, toaetm&ster of the oc
casion, with tills proposition;
i "We will have with us tonight tt)fc
flower and cream of the custom cut
ters of the world. It will be a great
occasion. We can roftke it even
greater than we had expected It to be.
There is now in this hotel Dr. Mary
" Walker, the only woman ever given
permission by Congress to appear on
,the streets or in the house, at any
time or any place, in the garb and
habiliments of mere man. Why
would it not be a great thing to have
the custom cutters, the clothers of
men, addressed by the only woman
who has this remarkable privilege?"
Mr. Sprengel said the idea was
splendid.
At the proper time, the introduc
tions having been made, and the in
vitation having been offered and ac
cepted, the famous Dr. Walker ap
peared in the lobby of the hotel, pre
pared to attend the banquet and
make the speech. She was in full
evening dress, two tailed coat, two-
legged trousers, pearl shirt studs
white tie and other choice bits of
decoration.
The banquet began and proceeded.
A commanding list of speakers, in
eluding a couple of members of Con
gress, said their little say, and sub
sided.
Arose Mr. Sprengel, prepared to
spring the big event.
"Ladies and gentlemen." he said.
with that dignity which always en
velops a man who is aDout to intro
duce a famous character, male or
female, "you will now have the treat
of your lives. It comes in the nature
of a surprise, but it will be none the
less delightful and exciting. It
comes in the nature of a novelty, but
for that reason it will be all the more
entertaining. I have the pleasure
of introducing to you the only wo
man who enjoys the Congressional
permission to wear male attire. I
present to you ladies and gentlemen,
Miss Susan B. Anthony."
The riot lasted 12 minutes and 33
seconds. Popular Magazine.
MR. UNDERWOOD'S PROPHECIES
E.G. HADDOCK AND
WIFE ARE BANQUETED
Former Hotel Man and Wife Given
Warm Farewell by Host of
Friends at Palace Hotel.
THE LABORER IS INJURED.
The enactment of freak laws in
Oregon is not only working against
the investment of capital in our state
in the establishment of industries,
by hitting the industries already es
tablished is also working injury to
the laboring class. In discussing
this subject, C. G. LeMasters, of the
Amity Standard in a recent editorial
says:
There was a time when it was nec
essary for legislation in favor of the
working class and against capital.
That necessity was met and its re
quirements accomplished, id doing
this however the pendulum of legis
lation activity swung back the oppo
site way so far that such legislation
is now a hindrance to the legitimate
investment of capital in good enter
prises. This action is just such as is
always experienced. A wrong arises,
the people are aroused and spurred
on by their enthusiasm they go to
exetremes, thus causing another
wrong to be perpetrated instead of
'correcting the evil. A few years ago
the hue and cry that the American
workman was downtrodden and op
pressed found a ready response in
every heart because such was the
case. But times and conditions have
changed until now the workman in
jjipst instances has the best of it.
Many enterprise? are being forced out
of exlstance simDlv DeL:use legisla
tion, that might well be termed freak
legislation has been enacted that has
made it impossible for employers to
meet the demands made upon them
by the laws of the land. This con
dition is now beginning to be felt in
a determined way to the employed as
well as the employer for the reason
that whenever conditions are not
such that business can be conducted
at a reasonable profit it will stop, and
without an employed there cannot be
an employee. So it is like killing
the goose that lays the golden egg to
legislate in such a manner that cap
ital will not invest in enterprises.
President William Sproule, of the
Southern Pacific Co., in an interview
to the press the other day said on
this subject "There are no hopes
of a betterment of business condi
tions unless public opinion complete
ly changes. My hope and belief is
that the growth of this country back
ed by a sense of fair play, possessed
by the American people whenever
they are awake to the situation, will
suffice to overcome the mistakes and
interferences that hinder not only
our business but nearly all kinds of
business in this country. We need
to open the factories and the mills
and get the people back to work,
We should stop the foolish theory
that prosperous business is somehow
pernicious to the state. It is a child
ish fallacy that is dragging us into
hard times."
Upon the eve of their departure
from Heppner, a dinner party was
given at the Palace Hotel last eve
nine in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Eli
Maddock, who left this morning for
Portland and to take up their resi
dence after a few weeks spent in the
metropolis, at Castle Rock, Wash.
The decision of Mr. and Mrs. Mad
dock to depart from our midst thus
suddenly came as a surprise to their
friends here, as it was not known
that they contemplated leaving here
at all. But this is only one more
illustration of how uncertain things
appear in this life. We have friend
ships and pleasant associations to
gether today with our friends and
tomorrow they are severed by the
decrees of fate and the circumstances
of life. A change in the management
of the hotel business Uiat is being
worked out has made it necessary
for Mr. Maddock to retire and he
and his good wife are seeking other
fields.
Appreciating the fact that their
friends would be glad of an oppor
tunity to meet with Mr. and Mrs.
Maddock in a social way before their
departure, Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Wil-
kins arranged an informal dinner
party at the hotel and covers were
spread for thirty. A five course din
ner was served. Hon. T. J. Mahoney
presided at the head of the table and
good cheer prevailed. The occasion
was livened up by music rendered by
the Otto Orchestra and vocal solos
by Miss Edith Thorley. The guests
present showed their appreciation of
this entertainment in bursts of hearty
applause. At the close of the dinner
Bring on your harvest hands.
In his closing speech on the new
anti-tariff bill, Mr. Underwood said:
It was his belief that directly and
indirectly the law will relieve the
peopie of taxes for government anc"
monopoly aggregating one billion a
year.
That it was his contention that
with the exception of the Walker tar
iff the new act would be less burden
some than any other similar meas
ure in force for seventy-five years.
That commerce and industry have
already adjusted themselves to the
new conditions, and it was his con
fident prediction that the. country
was about to enter upon an era of
unprecedented prosperity.
That was six months and more
ago. Have the exnenses of the gov
ernment been reduced? We do not
mean in the aggregate but in the
items that the government has to
purchase and which were on the tar
iff schedule?
Has the cost of living been re
duced now that the billion of dollars
in taxation which Mr. Underwood
said the tariff laid upon the people
is no more?
Have any new manufacturing en
terprises been inaugurated?
Have the unemployed found new
avenues in which to procure work?
Are there any premonitions in the
east of the coming of the dawn of
that wondrous "era of prosperity"
which Mr. Underwood's fevered im
agination painted on his brain?
We read tlie, other day that the
first ship had passed through the
Panama canal and had paid the tolls
Further that the ship was loaded
with sugar and was bound for. New

Mr. Mahoney called for toasts to the
departing friends. Responses were
made by Frank Gilliam, the oldest
inhabitant of Morrow county there
present, Mrs. Emily Kelly, and C. E
Woodson. Hearty expressions of
friendship and pleasant business and
social relations were made , by the
speakers on their own behalf and in
behalf of the people assembled, and
these were feelingly responded to
by Mr. Maddock.
Going over the nearly eight years
of his residence in Heppner, Mr.
Maddock earnestly expressed his ap
preciation of the friendships formed
among the Heppner people; thanked
them kindly for the splendid treat
ment always received here. No big
ger hearted, better spirited, generous
and whole souled people inhabit the
earth than the people of Heppner and
Morrow county. Having been a
resident of this state for the past
forty-five years, the speaker felt that
he had become thoroughly imbued
with the Oregon spirit in fact was
an Oregonian in every sense of the
word and he complimented our peo
ple and institutions highly. There
is a great future for this town and
this county. Our resources are only
beginning to be developed and the
next few years will bring about won
derful things. Of this there is no
doubt and Mr. Maddock congratulat
ed the people on this bright prospect.
While he is leaving Morrow county
to take up life elsewhere, he is sure1
of one thing and that is that he will
be a continuous and persistent boost
er for Heppner.
Mr. Maddock came to Heppner
some eight years ago and has been
engaged in the hotel business here
ever since, being associated with his
son-in-law, Mr. J. L. Wilkins. His
former home was Oregon City where
he engaged in business for many
years. Being of genial, whole-souled
nature, he made many friends here
and assisted greatly in building up
the hotel business to what it is at
present. Upon leaving here the best
wishes of this community go with
him and his wife for their Suture.
The guests present were: Mr. and
Mrs. Frank Gilliam, Mr. and Mrs.
S. W. Spencer, Mr. and Mrs. W. R.
Irwin, Mr. and Mrs. M. D. Clark,
Mr. and Mrs. Vawter Crawford, Mr.

call to Mr. Handsaker is an indefinite
one and it has been accepted by him
upon that basis.
