Where The West Begins.
(Arthur Chapman in Denver Republi
can.) , , .....
Out where the hand clasp a a little
Out'where'a smile dwells a little long-
. ' That's where the West begins.
Out where the sun is a little brighter.
Where the snows that fall are a trine
whiter.
Where the bonds of homo are a wee bit
tighter
That's where the West begins.
Out where the skies are a trifle bluer,
Out where friendship's a little truer.
That's where the West begins.
Out where a fresher bree.-.e is blowing,
Where there's laughter in every
streamlet flowing,
Where there's more of reaping and less
of sowing
That's where the West begins.
Out where the world is in the making,
Where fewer hearts with despair are
aching
That's where the West begins.
Where there's more of singing and less
of sighing.
Where there's more of giving and less
of buying.
And a man makes friends without half
trying
That's where the West begins.
OUR FUTURE IS GREAT.
In his journey about the county
the past week, Mr. 0. E. Freytag was
wonderfully Impressed with the "big
ness" of this section. It was his first
visit here. Morrow county has splen
did farms and they are growing bet
ter, yet Mr. Freytag could not help
but notice that our people are still
far from getting the returns they are
entitled to. Like many others, he Is
positive that the most of the farms
are far too big; this fact alone mak
ing it impossible to get the best re
turns per acre. This implies that we
need many more people here and
these of the sort that are willing to
work the land as it should be. Mr.
Freytag does not speak from inex
perience, for he is a man well versed
in agriculture, horticulture and stock
raising. He has seen other sections
of this state developed far beyond
the expectations of the "original
settler" and has had no small part
in this development; and these sub
jects are receiving his best thought
and constant attention.
He noted with pleasure that the
poultry industry is being pushed
throughout the county, yet this is an
infant here. Mr. Freytag urges more
thorough and earnest effort of our
farmers in this line. In order to
stimulate this industry and to fully
illustrate and demonstrate the best
methods in poultry production, Mr.
Freytag will conduct a special exhi
bition at the coming Morrow County
Fair. He will put stress upon the
proper grading and culling out of the
fowls and show the best manner of
handling poultry In order that the
business may be made to pay the best
returns. He wants to see this indus
try grow and prosper here for he has
yet to see a section anywhere that
equals Morrow county for the produc
tion of poultry. Conditions here are
ideal, and Mr. Freytag is enthusias
tic over it.
OPTIMISM.
To look on the bright side of life
and its affairs with an enthusiastic
belief that everything is all right and
for the best is ideal. This is espec
ially true as it applies to those who
come into contact with the sick. A
physician, above all men, should be
an optimist ready to stimulate hope
even though he may not have it him
self. Hopefulness In the countenance
and optimism in the words and ac
tions of the physician are as sunshine
in the sick-room; they stimulate
hopefulness of recovery in the sick
and a courage that often has a po
tent Influence for good. Even when
recovery is not often possible, ac
cording to the Journal of the Amer
ican Medical Association, good, not
harm is done. Hope makes life
worth living while it lasts. The psy
chic influence is always felt so long
as consciousness remains. Paget,
speaking of hypochondriacs, says:
Your chances of doing good will
depend mainly on the skill with
which you can influence the patient's
mind; for of the components of his
case the mental condition Is the
worst.
Men do not draw from their bank
account and expect the balance to
stand without making deposits
against withdrawals. They can not
make money in their own city and
spend it elsewhere and then expect
to keep on making money at home.
They must invest profits In their own
city if they wish It to prosper.
Spokesman-Review.
OUR HOME rEOPLE.
Automobile owners in Portland
are receiving catalogues which in-
vtte them to buy auto supplies from
Sears, Roebuck & Company in Seat
tle.
Why buy In Seattle? It, after re
ceipt the purchases are not satisfac
tory, can the buyer aflord to go to
Seattle to make an exchange or get
his money back?
Have Sears, Roebuck & Company
of Seattle ever paid any taxes, or em
ployed any workers, or contributed
anything to the gayety or progress
of Portland?
If we take counsel from the cata
logues and buy auto supplies, buy
flour, buy clothing, buy furniture and
buy the other things we need in Se
attle, what will happen to Portland?
Our home people, our neighbors
our friends, including the home deal
ers in automobile supplies, make
Portland, sustain Portland, nourish
Portland, enrich Portland, and it is
not Seattle, but Portland that gives
every one of us our living, our homes
and our hopes.
Whenever we take the advice of
the catalogues and buy of Sears, Roe
buck & Company In Seattle, we strike
an Indirect blow at ourselves. The
true gospel of life is to do business
with our own home people for it Is
through our own home people that
we survive.
The above is from a recent Issue
of the Portland Journal, and to it
we say amen.
But how about the people of Hepp
ner and vicinity that think it neces
sary to turn down our home mer
chants and buy their provisions,
clothing, etc., from Jones Cash Store,
Rice & Phelan, and some other cat
alogue houses of Portland?
We would put emphasis on the
paragraph above, to make it apply
locally: "Our home people, our neigh
bors, our friends, Including the home
dealers in automobile supplies, make
Heppner, sustain Heppner, nourish
Heppner, enrich Heppner, and it Is
not Portland or Seattle or Chicago,
that gives every one of us our living,
our pleasure, our homes and our
hopes."
It is not the catalogue houses of
these places that pay our taxes and
help to keep up our institutions, yet
they are sapping our section of thou
sands of dollars every month, and
the time is not far distant if this
drain continues that the merchant
in the smaller country towns will
have to retire from business, and
then the good people who have been
saving money" on the catalouge
houses will look to their "benefac
tors" to step in and help us bear our
local burdens of taxation and im
provements. Yes, we Indorse the sentiments of
the Journal, and assure the big city
dally that the small town has
"troubles of it's own" along these
same lines.
BAD FOR WINDJAMMER.
Bro. Stewart, of the Fossil Journal
having been invited to address the
citizens of Lonerock as orator of the
day at their recent celebration, was
unable to attend, and expressed re
grets through his paper as follows:
The Journal editor regrets exceed
ingly that he was unable to celebrate
with the good people of Lonerock on
July 4th, who had invited him to de
liver the oration on that occasion.
But although it was the editor's in
tention to be there, he did not prom
ise to orate, and would have done so
under protest, as there is nothing left
nowadays for an Independence Day
spellbinder to spellbind about. It
was all right, and no trick at all, as
long as it was the national custom on
the Fourth to pull the lion's tail and
metaphorically smite John Bull hip
and thigh, but it would hardly look
well for us to go over to Lone Rock
and give John "Hail Columbia,"
when our Government is slepln' with
John and lovin' him half to death,
and has made him a present of our
Canal, our home markets, and a
whole lot of other etceteras, includ
ing a shipload of our fairest and rich
est damsels to feather his nest and
put some vigorous red into the en
feebled blue of his blood. Gone for
ever is the screaming Eagle, with the
firecracker and the bomb, and per
haps 'tis better so, but It is certainly
hard on the windjammer.
We can heartily endorse the sen
timents erpressed at the last meeting
of the Commercial Club when the
question of properly advertising the
home community was up for discus
sion. The country newspaper is be
ginning to come to the front and re
ceive the recognition that is its due,
and perhaps in the future the local
paper will receive a portion of the
money that has heretofore gone to
the printers of finely illustrated
booklets and descriptive matter that
is largely discounted when it reaches
its destination. The Heppner Com
mercial Club seems to be favoring the
proposition of spending some money
on subscriptions to the local news
papers and having them sent In con
siderable numbers to various local
ities in the East and Middle West.
This Is practical. There Is nothing
overdrawn about the weekly renort
of events, and the recital of the con
ditions of the times and seasons as
they come along is given without ex
aggeration and the paper thus be
comes a true index to the conditions
and life of the community and is so
taken and accepted by the outsider
who may be contemplating coming
west.
R. F. Wiglesworth, extensive
sheepraiser of Butter creek, was
Heppner over last night.
In
Transatlantic Flying Boat Ready for
Its Great Voyage,
August Popular Mechanics.
Early last February Mr. Rodman
Wanamaker unfolded his audacious
scheme, long ruminated and now ma
ture, to bridge the Atlantic by aero
plane. He had closed with Mr. Cur
tis, the hydro master, for a craft to
win the Lord Northcliffe prize for the
first flight from the New World to the
the Old within 72 hours. Preferably
two men should drive her from New
foundland to Ireland between dawn
and dark on a summer's day. But
on this condition he would not insist;
for even with no restriction the en
terprise seemed sufficiently difficult,
it not hazardous. The details he
would leave to Mr. Curtiss and his
technical associates.
Once taught the air lane, whole
fleets of ocean filers would promptly
follqw. Live fellows in New York
would flit to London Friday nights,
and, after Sunday's dinner, flit back
to business. This metropolitan pro
pinquity should assimilate and unify
all peoples. War should be forgot
ten. The globe so shrunk should at
length Crib But a single homogeneous
family, forever tranquil and prosper
ous. So figured Mr. Wanamaker.
The generous optimist would hasten
the millennium.
The idea of soaring meteorlike
from continent to continent, without
stop and in a single summer's day,
had Mr. Wanamaker's approval and
the world's applause. The Droiect
was magnificent if somewhat ven
turesome. Impossible it could not
truly be called; for had not a Ger
man recently flown 16 out of the 17
or 18 hours required for a favorable
voyage? The chances seemed fair
for the voyage, fair for rescue in case
of premature descent.
But a less dramatic, less difficult
program was presently proposed and
soon adopted. A stanch flying boat
with two men and gasoline for a con
tinuous voyage of a day and a night
should sail for the Azores, and thence
with replenished tanks, sweep
straight to Europe. The longest stage
would thus be under 1,200 miles, or
very little more than the world's rec
ord for a nonstop flight ol one man
in a land aeroplane. It would be
feasible to alight at any moment on
the sea, except in a considerable
storm, make adjustments of the pro
pelling system, and proceed without
impediment. So, after mature coun
sel with their confidential associates
Mr. Wanamaker and Mr. Curtiss
agreed upon this second plan, and
determined to push the work to a
finish as early in the summer as
practicable.
The sea flier as finally built looks
lige a resplendent red whale with
biplane wings Jutting out from Its
sides. The forepart of the hull Is the
cabin with closed turretlike hood.
having celluloid windows around and
above it to give clear view of the
world, the sky, and the craft itself.
The rear tapering part of the hull
carries the tail plane and rudders
exteriorly, and interiorly is compos
ed water-tight compartments. The
central part of the hull contains the
gasoline tank from which the fuel Is
pumped up to the smaller supply
tanks situated beneath the upper
plane. The air boat measures 72 ft.
across its upper plane, 46 f(. across
Its lower, 34 ft. from stem to stern,
where the vertical rudder is hinged,
spreads about 780 sq. ft. of winged
surface, weighs, with two men and
supplies for a 1,200-mile voyage,
about 5,000 lb., is propelled by twin
screws driven by two 90-hp. engines
placed betwen the planes, on either
side the plane of symmetry, and is
designed to fly at 60 to 63 miles an
hour for about one day and night
continuously. The details of con
struction are multitudinous, Ingen
ious, novel In part and carefully cal
culated, and finally tested by syste
matic experimentation.
