JAPAN AND HER ri'RPOSE.
There Is no use denying.
That William Jennings Byran
Found it very hard indeed to stand
the hurry,
And so he just resigned;
Told our president to find
A man to fill his place who did not
worry.
A man may be diplomatic, and also
democratic,
But if he wants to play a waiting
game,
When the others are emphatic,
He had better seek an attic.
For the people see his words are very
tame.

We had never thought much of
the question before, but the way Mr.
Franzke presented to view the weak
ness of state legislatures and the
remedy therefore, almost persuades
us to become an advocate of the abol
ishment of that branch of our law
making apparatus. In Oregon we
have the initiative and referendum
law making by the people and there
are those who think the people poor
law makers: but Mr. Franzke would
not take away this power nor lessen
it. He would assist the people by
giving them a council of law experts,
so that when legislation was put up
to them it would be such as would
stand the test of the courts, and un
necessary and "fool" laws avoided.
We can't help but think there is much
to the system advocated by this gen
tleman. There is undoubtedly room
for much improvement over what we
now have.
As indicating the prosperity of the
Heppner country, we would call at
tention to the statement of the First
National Bank of Heppner. The lo
cal Institution shows deposits right
at three-quarters of a million dollars,
and presents a very healthy appear
ance indeed. It is just at the time of
the wool selling season to be sure, but
this is one of the great resources of
the Heppner hills, and the wheat
money is yet to be gathered in.
The First National has been doing
business in Heppner for the past 28
years. Twenty-five years ago the
statement of the bank showed a total
deposits of $81,720.19, and loans and
discounts of $123,593.37. From this
an idea of the growth of the Institu
tion can be gathered, as well as the
development of the resources of the
territory which the bank serves, and
our own county may be considered
to be the chief benefactor of this evi
dence of material prosperity and de
velopment. RANGER CHANGES HANDS.
The Japanese are a subtle little
race; the world does not half grasp
the intentions of her rulers. It is
clear enough that she Intends to do
the carrying trade on the Pacific; it
it is clear enough that with the con
cessions she has bulldozed China into
granting, her purpose is to develop
the mining and manufacturing possi
bilities of that country to the point
that she will be able to supply the
world with most of the articles of
commerce which men use, for she
soes clearly enough that if site cau
supply China with needed machinery,
and the needed roads to transport
iter products to the sea; the time
w hen she can challenge the world to
compote with herwill be just so soon
as she can perfect the skilled labor to
handle the machinery. This she
should be able to accomplish in the
next thirty years, lint as we analyze
the Japanese mind this will be but a
commencement. She covets money
exceedingly, and at present her pur
pose is to get the forces at work
which will in a few brief years begin
to make her one of the richest of
nations. But she will not stop at
that. She covets power even more
than money. She is preparing to do
on a larger and more eneonomical
scale what England has been doing
ever since Waterloo, to make the
world pay tribute to her superior me
chanical and shipping facilities and
her cheap labor, and she certainly
will do that if she can but hold China
in subjection until by marriage and
trade the two countries will practical
ly be assimilated.
Then her other purpose will begin
to materialize. Her educational pro
gram will take in China, and part of
that education is to equip soldiers in
all the accomplishments that attach
to perfect soldiers and then the peo
ple who are living in that day will
hear the cry of "Asia for Asiatics,"
for old Rome and her methods are
what she is waiting to adopt.
It is but three score years since
Japan was opened to the world, but
fifty years since the present spirit of
the Jananese was born.
We suspect that in the archives of
the empire is already filed the deter
mination of Japan to rule Asia by the
time one hundred years have rolled
away after the summons of Coni
modare Perry to open the land to the
world.
Japan is now the ally of Russia
and Great Britain.
If before five more decades of years,
shall be unwound Russia shall be
called upon to defend her Asiatic
possessions in the north, and England
is summoned to give Japan a reason
why she has encroached upon Asia in
the south, it need cause no surprise
to the people of the earth who will be
living then. The possibility adds to
the sorrow which possesses all Chris
tian nations over the war that is rag
ing all over Christian Europe. Rather
there should be a hoarding of
strength and a closer walk among
those nations in contemplation of
that day when the Asiatic hoards
will again move west. Goodwin's
Weekly.
From the issue of last week of the
Long Creek Ranger, that paper con
tinues under new management, J.
A. and Marie Steach having purchas
ed the interests of E. A. Shields, and
they have taken up their duties as
editors and proprietors of that paper.
In heir initial bow oefore the people
of Northern Grant county we take
the following:
"Having purchased the Long Creek
Ranger from E. A. Shields, we desire
to solicit a continuation of your pat
ronage and shall endeavor to give you
a good publication.
"In embarking upon this new ven
ture we shall ask you to bear with
us for a few issues in our little er
rors and deficiencies, until we 'get
next' to the ins and outs of newspa
per building. However, we are de
termined to do our best to make this
paper valuable to the citizens of
Northern Grant county."
Mr. Shields has been guiding the
destinies of the Ranger for more than
five years, but he has decided to for
sake the newspaper Business for the
present time and will devote his time
to other lines of enterprise. To the
new editors we extend a hearty wel
come into the journalistic field of
Oregon and wish for them success in
their new venture.
The newspaper fraternity has been
represented at the Chautauqua this
week, one of the greatest speakers on
the program being Col. Miller, of Spo
kane, who for many years was the
publisher of a country paper in the
state of Illinois. The superintendent
is Mr. Chapin D. Foster, editor and
publisher of the Grandview Herald
of Grandvied, Wash., He is taking
this opportunity to get better ac
quainted with the various cities and
finds the experience pleasant as well
as profitable.
Grain has developed rapidly the
past week and harvest is upon us.
Numerous headers have started al
ready cutting and stacking barley and
the wheat harvest is looming up. A
bumper crop for Morrow county Is
not looked for this season, yet there
will be a fair yield of good grain and
the price should be sufficiently high
to make good much of the shortage
in the yield.
Evejy program was of the highest
order entertaining, educational and
uplifting.
The average length of life of hor
ses at the front is said to be about a
couple of months. There are thoup
ands of lives of horses being sacri
ficed daily in this war between man
kind. Mules, camels, etc., are being
used for transport work, and are
helping man to fight man to their
own cost.
But has it ever occurred to you
that if all the useful animals in the
world were to organize themselves
for revolt against the cruelties of
man, they would outnumber any hu
man army that could be brought
against them, even if every man, wo
man and child of every race under
the sun marched from the four cor
ners of the earth to join its ranks?
It was estimated a short time ago
that there were nearly 600,000,000
sheep In the world, and these would
outnumber the Chinese by more than
100,000,000, and by more than 200,-
000,000 outnumber the white popu
lations of the present warring na
tions. The horse could form a cav
alry division of from 90,000,000 to
100.000.000: then there would be a
corps of 7,000,000 mules, and anoth
er 9,000,000 jackasses to bring sup
plies to the front. About 100,000,
000 goats could furnish milk and
wool, while 21,000,000 buffaloes
could stamp Spain out man by man
Meanwhile, 2,000,000 camels could
campaign in their own familiar con
ditions of deserts and dry places and
900.000 reindeer could sweep the
northern climes.
There are, as nearly as can be es
timated, about 1,500,000,000 useful
animals in the world. The United
States leads in the population of
swine, Australia with sheep, while
European Russia and the United
States are about equal in horses.
British India Is the principal home
for the goat, and Asiatic Russia
not Egypt, as is generally supposed
holds more camels than any other
part of the world.
Chautauqua week In Heppner lias
been a complete success.
If you failed to hear that Royal
Hungarian Orchestra, you missed one
of the rare treats of a lifetime in the
musical line. It was worth the full
price of a season ticket.
A Communication.
Parkers Mill, June 24, 1915.
Dear Editor:
I have just been reading an article !
in the Gazette-Times of June 17th, I
about a certain piece of road in the
south end of the county, known as
the Rock creek road, going up the
mountain. I don't wish to find fault
with anyone but I think someone has i
made a mistake in their figures as to
the expense of the work done on that
road this last spring, and in some
way our county court has got the im
pression that lt cost something like
$700 to open that same piece of road.
It was opened in June, 1911, witli
twelve men and ten horses in five
days of ten hours each. The men
were paid $2.50 per day and the cost
of teams was $2.00 per day, making
a total cost of $200 to the county for
labor. There was an additional ex
pense for 125 pounds of powder
which cost about $30. But what
ever the cost has been, it is all
thrown away because in the first
place that side of the hill is not the
proper location for a road, since the
top soil is nearly all black doby clay
and when that Is taken off there re
mains a yellow doby. It is nearly
impossible to get over such a road
in wet weather and this piece of road
seeniB to be w et about nine months in
the year, and it is always at its worst
just when the heavy nauling has to
be done. It cannot be fixed to hold
up such heavy loads without a larger
outlay of money than Morrow county
is able to put up, since the material
that would be necessary to make the
proper kind of road would have to
be hauled a considerable distance. It
would cost two dollars for every foot
uphill, to put enough material there
to hold- up under the heavy loads that
would go over it. I think the better
way would be to leave that thing and
find a better place to build a road, in
order that Heppner may continue to
hold the Grant county trade, and at
the same time have a road that can
be kept up with a lesser expense. The
new road built in the proper place
can be constructed for less money
than the present road can be fixed,
so that the latter will be anything
like a road. It is certainly up to
Morrow county to make this short
piece of road in a .fit condition for
travel.
Yours respectfullv,
R. HOGELAND.
