Brussels is the capital of Belgium
in the province of Brabant, on the
Senne River. It is one of the most
beautiful cities of the continent.
Rapid transit, gas and electric lights,
water works, and pavements are
maintained. There are railroad con
nections with many of the principal
cities of Europe, and it is the cen
ter of an important and growing
commerce. The older part is located
on the side of the former fortifica
tions and has crooked and narrow
streets, while the newer portion has
many substantial structures and con
tains the newer residences and pub
lic buildings. The king's palace, the
tmlace of iustice. the palace of
chambers, the palace of fine arts, the
tniblic library and museum raiiK
amone the finest in Europe. The
city has also excellent public boul
evards, botanical gardens, and pub
lic navks. manv of which are adorned
by splendid monuments and exquis
ite statuary. Its educational insti
tutions include schools for all grades
nf instruction, and terminate in a un
iversity containing a splendid obser
vatory, conservatorium or music
and a fine library. The library has
over 400,000 volumes and 31,500
manuscripts. The city contains a
lare number of learned societies
which maintain departments of
Flemish art, and scientific and phil
osophic courses. Among the an
cient buildings is the cathedral of
St. Gudule, a fine building in the
Gothic stvle. The hotel DeVille,
built in "1450. is a Gothic structure
with a sDire 364 feet high. There
are several historic monuments, in
eluding the equestrian statue of
Godfrey of Bouilon. The Grand
Place and Place of Martyrs are
amone its many noted squares.
The industries of the city consist
besides commerce, of manufacturing
and jobbing. The production of
lace, cotton and woolen goods, and
machinery are important. There are
also large distilleries, foundries, su
gar refiueries and breweries. Its
lace production has long been impor
tant and its manufacture of Brussels
carpets has given it and its suburbs
renown. The languages spoken are
French, German and Dutch. The ap
pearance of the city is modern, al
though it dates back to the Middle
Ages. In 1044 a wall was built
around it by Baldric of Louvain, in
1380 it was strongly fortified, and
in the 15th century was ravaged
by the plague and twice damaged by
fire. The French bombarded it in
.1695 and captured it in 1794. Un
der French occupation it became the
chief city of the department of Dyle.
in 1815 after the defeat of Napoleon
it was made the capital of the
Netherlands. After the revolt of
IS 30, Belgium was separated from
Holland. Including the suburbs, it
has a population of 570,630.
The future history of Brussels now
hangs iu the balance.
I.ons Hours For Oregon Farm La
borers. Washington, D. C, Aug. 25 The
farm laborers of Oregon work on an
average of 9 hours and 44 minutes
per day, according to a report which
has just been issued by the United
States Department of Agriculture.
More than 27,000 laborers are em
ployed on the farms of Oregon and
the average monthly compensation
is $31.00 with board and $44.50 if
the laborer boards himself. These
figures relate to the year 1813. The
average wage for farm labor in Con
tinental United States is $13.85 per
month with board and $19.97 with
out board.
Machine to Blackhorse.
W. T. Campbell, of Social Ridge,
moved his threshing outfit to the
Blackhorse section on Friday. He
had finished threshing in his own
neighborhood and on the way
through Lexington he halted his en
gine and thresher for a day, making
needed repairs to both machines. Ed
Berry went down from Heppner to
superintend the repairs to the en
gine and was not long in getting the
"mogul" in good working order. The
moving of this big outfit to Black
horse will insure the "threshing out"
of that locality in short order.

Heppner Leads. (p
According to statistics recently
compiled in regard to the 1914 Ore
gon wool crop, Heppner is the larg
est individual wool shipping point in
the state. Ontario and Vale com
bined head the list, but Heppner
cornea second with a good lead over
the other shipping points for wool.
The 1914 crop totaled $2,700,000.

When n corps of marines or a
partv of tailors is ordered as-hore for
land duty, such us the seizure and
lumiinrarv nrcnuation of a port, or
the garrisoning of a legation, high-
power, automatic machine guns con
stitute one of the chief items of
equipment supplied the forces. The
recent development of these instru
ments of destruction has been so lit
tle less than marvelous that today
a single machine, in theory at least,
spits death faster than the rifles of
an entire company could in the past.
An illustrated article in tne (Septem
ber Popular Mechanics Magazine
describes the heavier machinery of
war with which our soldiers, sailors,
and marines do their day's work. It
"For both of the types of machine
irnns used bv the army and navy the
ammunition used is the same as that
taken bv the new rifle, this repre
senting another careful provision tor
the standardization of fighting
enuinment. Between 300 and 600
shots a minute can De nrea, eacu
with an initial velocity of 2,500 ft.
n coonnri imi a maximum ranee of
about 2,000 yd., with one mooel oi
these guns. In this, the ammunition
is fed by means of canvas belts, in
which a large number of shells are
held. Just as rapidly as one ot inese
are emptied another is run through
after it. The pressure resulting
from the exDansion of gases follow
ing an explosion in the firing cham
ber effects the automatic feature of
the instrument.
A three-in. rifle which closely
resembles the field pieces of the
same size used by the artillery, is
taken ashore by the landing party
frnrn battleshiDS. It fires a ld-lD.
projectile at a muzzle velocity of 1,-
650 ft. a .second. It is eltective up
to about 6.000 yd. and uses either
a steel shell, which is exploded by-
impact, or shrapnel, whlcli is ex
ploded by impact or time-fuse igni
tion. It is fitted with a heavy shield
which protects its operator from the
fire of the enemy.
"Greatly outnumbering all other
sizes of guns in the service, the 3-in.
field gun has become the mainstay
of the artillery. Because of the fact
that the modern gun of this type has
been developed to a high degree of
effectiveness, the so-called heavy ar
tillery is rapidly disappearing. All
the artillery guns are made for rap
id firing, the others in use besides
the 3-in. piece being the light how
itzers of the mountain type and 4.7
and 6-in. howitzers, the latter two of
which constitute the heavy artil
lery.'r-
"Although several types of motor
trucks have been experimented with
by the government, only, two have
been adopted officially. Accortliug
to the specifications for mimarv mo
tor vehicles the chassis of a machine
must be of a shape and size to ac
comodate the standard army-wagon
body. The light truck, particularly
that of l'A-ton capacity, has met
with greatest favor in the service.
These have been successfully used
as tractors and regular carriers."
DO YOV HAVE INDIGESTION?
Indigestion causes more disease, it
shortens more lives, than everything
else of which we know. Indigestion
not only rapidly wears out the stom
ach and intestine, but it undermines
the health and opens the way for
serious diseases. Two persons out of
every three have indigestion, either
easily recognized stomach indigestion
or the commonest form, intestinal in
digestion with gas in the bowels and
cften constipation.
You can cure yourself of indiges
tion with the foods which you usual
ly have on your table simply by cook
ing them differently, by taking care
as to what foods you eat together and
r y eating more of some foods and less
of others. For Information by Dr.
Daniels as to just how to go about
this, send ten cents, stamps or coin,

Bldg., Denver, Colo.

The services at M. E. church,
south, on Sunday will be the last of
this conference year. Rev. W. T.
Goulder, the pastor, will leave on the
first of the week for the session of
the annual conference which meets
on the 3rd of September at Weston.
Whether Mr. Goulder will return to
Heppner for another year, will be
decided at that time. On this last
Sunday, President Naylor, the new
head of Columbia Colloge at Milton,
will occupy the pulpit both morning
and evening, and the public of Hepp
ner is invited to come out and hear
him. He is reputed to be a very
fine speaker, and Rev. Goulder is es
pecially anxious that our people
shal hear him,
He Likes Mot-row County.
Albert Willis, who with his two
sons has been working in the harvest
fields of Morrow county, came to
town on Saturday. The boys have
returned to their home at Newberg
but Albert will remain here for a
time and do some wheat hauling. Mr.
Willis has about come to the con
clusion that he would like to be back
in Morrow county farming again,
and he may make arrangements to
return here with his family. Hav
ing once lived here It is hard to get
weaned away from this section.

Two bright young college men are
sent out by the "Public Utilities I'om
mission to lix the values ot the Ore-eon-i'alifornia
Power .Co. olauts in
this state.
This is to determine the actual
value of the properties as a basis for
n uking rates for light and power.
It is not to be the selling value oi
the property.
If the young men find that the
power company is charging rates
that arer excessive, the commission
will direct the company to lower
them until they yield only a just
aud reasonable profit on the invest
ment.
There is only one danger in all
this the rate making value tends
to become the market value. If that
be the result, no more capital will
come to Oregon to invest in public
utilities and every 'community will
be forced to public ownership.
