The first mile of hard-surfaced road built in Coos county within 30 days and a $370,000 bond issue pro posed. Supt Campbell, upon returning to Portland from Coos Bay announces that trains will be running there by May 1st. Those who hold the office of pub lic defender, the new office sought to be foisted upon the taxpayers for cities and counties, naturally defend it publicly. The forestry service generously al lows people to build summer homes in the forest reserves. It is doubtful if any but people of wealth can afford the luxury. On six items of fire, police, health, street cleaning, public works, elec tions, Portland commission govern ment cost $105,313 more in 1914 than in 1912. Public works executed in 1912 $4,300,449; in 1914, $2,633, 480. The Courtney mill at Marshfield, which has been idle for some time, has been reconstructed and made ready for cutting lumber.

Pavement to be 24 feet wide, 5-in-cone base, 2-in. gravel bitullt.hic wearing surface. The Municipal water commission at Eugene would raise rates for wa ter used by the city to keep rates down for consumers. That is the gen eral result of public ow nership, to make taxpayers meet deficits caused by supplying consumers below cost. The politicians are still discussing what to do with the O. & C. land grant. They are all very generous in turning the surplus funds, after, paying the railroad company $2.50 an acre, Into the school funds, bene fitting the school fund is always a popular proposition. But it should be remembered that these same pol iticians squandered the Oregon school funds by letting the school lands all get away from the state for little or nothing. For the sake of the poor, the homeless, and the landless, let us have a new deal in disposing of these lands, one not originating with the elements that have wasted our school lands In the past. Col. E. Hoffer at Waldport. & A. R. REID for your Rough and Dressed Lumber, Wood and Posts At the Mill or delivered T ' Keep Dobs Muzzled. Heppner, Oregon, July 20, 1915. Owing to the prevalence of rabies in the immediate vicinity of Heppner, the City Council, looking to the wel fare of the people of our town, has ordained that all dogs shall be muz zled or kept chained up until such time as the City Health Officer thinks the danger is past. Therefore the Marshal has been instructed to kill all dogs found running at large with out muzzles within the corporate lim its of the City of Heppner on or after July 25th, 1915. Due notice will be given when this order is annulled, This order will be strictly enforced People outside the city limits are re quested to keep dogs at home as there will be no exception made. Rabies has ceased to be a Jokn and the welfare of the people demands this action. W. W. SMEAD, Mayor. I TWENTY-FIVE YEARS ! AGO IN HEPPNER ! From The Gazette, August 21. 1890, We are still having hot weather, but Eastern Oregon has neither fleas nor mosquitoes. Young grouse are ripe now, but they are a heap harder to get along the timber line than they used to be. W. G. Scott was In town Friday. He will work his Willow creek mine this fall, when he confidently expects to strike It. Pap Simons is convalescing from a recent attack ot fever, and is now almost as good as new. All are glad to see Pap around again. Will McAtee returned Thursday from Portland. Cattle are slow sale. On the trip down the caboose was wrecked at Bonneville, scaring pas sengers and crew but hurting no one. Married At the residence of the bride's mother, south of Heppner, on the 17th Inst., Eugene Matteson and Sarah McFerrin, Judge Mitchell per forming the ceremony. Mrs. E. Minor, Misess Nira and Ada and little Willa, Frank Rogers and wife and Edith Vaughn are enjoying the mountain scenery of the Ditch creek section this week. Col. J. W. Reddington will leave this week for his Puyallup home. These health-giving hills have re moved the last shade of malaria from the Col.'s active frame, and he is an xious to get back to business. Marshal Rasmus and Ed Long re turned from Haystack Tuesday. Mrs. Rasmus and the children are very well at present, enjoying the hospital ity of Mr. B. A. Hunsaker and fam ily. Haystack is a very beautiful and fruitful vale, and all visitors come back delighted. George Swaggart purchased the Heppner & Castle Rock telegraph line last Saturday, paying $345 for it. As a telegraph line it cost about $3000 and in its day was a great convenience. "Hen" Welch brought in a load of pelts from the John Day, arriving here Sunday, receiving 11 cents therefor. Henry says "never be in a hurry," and it does look that way, for early in the season no such prices were realized. Numerous life insurance agents are irreparably maimed, others have talk ed themselves into appoplexy, thru endeavors to insure the life of the Gazette worth variously estimated; yet the instigator of Heppner's val uable family paper remains unin sured. If the insurance man goes to heaven our hitherto spotless career shall now end. Why? Isn't one by the fiend who glibly chatters "ton tine," "sem-tontine," and "plain life" enough for even a Heppner man. Funny and Os Mitchell's sorrel race nag are here and looking fine, and In good condition for the Hepp ner races, Sept. 1, 2, and 3. The managers are expecting Lish Sperry's fast flyers every day. The races are to be run by men who are on the "dead square," and those who back any of the horses can rest assured that they are risking it on their judg ment, and in every case the best horse will win. The artesian well was down to a depth of 590 feet last evening. The borings are brought to the surface quite warm, and Mr. Kleckner says they are undoubtedly working in hot rock. We can look out for a hot, mineral well. All the way down there is much magnetic iron, the steel drill being magnetised sufficiently to hold up a pocket knife by the blade. Johnny Kirk will shortly start a band of horses to Portland, and will drive to The Dalles, shipping by boat from there at $1.50 per head. The single-rate rail shipping price of $19 Heppner to Portland is really prohib itory on anything but a high grade hoss. Hon. J. L. Morrow, Albert Rhea and Mrs. J. W. Morrow and children have gone camping in the mountains at head of Rhea creek. The baby was threatened with cholera infatum, and the mountain air has already done her a world of good. i Ocean Freight Kates on Wheat. Quotations of ocean freight rates on wheat from New York to Liver pool averaged 7.5 cents per bushel during 1914, the high rates of the latter part of the year being offset partly by low rates in the other months. During 1913 the average was 5.6 cents; in 1912, 7.7 cents; in 1911, 4.2 cents; and for the five years 1906-1910 the average was 3.3 cents. In June, 1915, the quotations reached 26 cents per bushel. Ocean freight on wheat from Argentina to the Unl ted Kingdom reached 45 cents per bushel In April, 1915. Ocean freight rates on wheat from Portland, Oreg., to the United King dom "for orders" averaged about 22.5 cents per bushel during the sea son from September 1, 1914, to May 31, 1915; the average for the corres ponding period In 1913-14 was 23.9 cents. A much shorter route was open In 1914-15 than in 1913-14, on acount of the Panama Canal; but In 1914-15 the European war made con ditions abnormal. Monthly Crop Re port, July 15, 1915.
