Dispose of Mountain Ranch.
Mr. and Mrs. Biacy itODerts were
down from Hardman on Monday clos
ing up a deal whereby Mrs. Roberts
has disposed of her Toll Rock ranch
to Fred Ashbatigh, of Rood Canyon.
We did not learn the consideration.
Mr. Ashbaugh has thus secured one
ol the best timbered tracts in Mor
row county, and we are informed
that it Is his intention to erect a mill
oh the place at once and begin saw
ing lumber. This mill will be put
np and operated by Mr. Frank Ward,
according to present arrangements,
and it is stated that less than one
tree to the acre is all that will be
necessary to pay for the purchase
price of the tract of land. In the
selling of this place, Mr. and Mrs.
Roberts are left without property in
this county save a house and lot that
they own in Hardman, and this they
expect to dispose of soon.
Number of "Stuck" Mail Pouches Is
. Continually Growing. Yil
Walla Feels the Effect.
(Walla Walla Union)
Orders have been recently issued
by the postoffice department which
will result in another delay for trans
continental mall addressed to points
on the Pacific coast. In the present
instance this mail will be delayed
Ave hours and forty minutes and will
Include all special delivery letters.
The order is directed against the
Chicago and Omaha R. P. O., an im
portant transcontinental mail 'link.
The mail on this train in the future
is to be worked in the Union termin
al R. P. O., in Chicago instead of be
ing worked on the train and Is sched
uled to be dispatched in pouches be
tween five and six hours after it is
dumpted into the terminal referred
to.
The only reason given for this or
der is that it is being done for the
purpose of running the mail service
on a business-like basis.
"Stuck" mall, that .is that mail
that railway clerks have been unable
to work in trans! t because of con
gestion or an insufficient number of
clerks seems to have been the rule
rather than the exception on all mail
going out of Spokane for the 40 davs
from December 8th through January
17th. This mall was directed to
Harve, Seattle, Lewiston, Miles City,
Portland and intermediate points.
Under the present policy for
"economy" in the postoffice depart
ment, all idea of efficiency has been
lost sight of. Mail clerks on all
branch lines are being dropped foom
day to day. Fortunately, Heppner
has been one of the last to be affect
ed through this stringent economv
crusuade, but even at that, the hun
dreds of patrons on the route here
are not giving up what belongs to
them, without first making a vigor
ous protest.
Postmaster RIchardsan points out
that people living in Heppner, who
now get their mail within a few min
utes after its arrival in the evening
would not, in the event of the mail
clerk's removal, get a portion of
their mail until the next day. Fur
ther down the line, some of it would
be from twelve to twenty hours late.

er found to be cancer of the stomach.

ther came down from Idaho to attend

Pastor McDonald WiU Remain.
By unanimous vote of the congre
gation of the Christian church on
Sunday morning last, Turner B. Mc
Donald was retained as pastor of the
church for another year. Under the
leadership of Mr. McDonald the past
1 year, the church has prospered to a
marked degree. The membership
has been largely Increased, all In
debetedness against the Church has
been wiped out and a general im
provement along all lines of religious
work was noted. This paper is glad
to know that Mr. McDonald and his
excellent wife are to remain with us
