Probably one of the most pleasant announcements that has Sx'Mi made to Morrow county people for sometime is the one this "week relating to the leasing of the Heppner Coal Mines property by H. V. Gates. Mr. Gates, who is one of the older captains of industry in the Northwest, has spent considerable time and money in test ing out the coal fields in this region, not overlooking the prob of trariKiinrtation. Therefore it is but reasonable to as- ;-iune, since the lease has been made, that the Heppner Coal ZkTines will now be fully developed. , With the opening of these mines, there likewise opens up for Heppner, we might say, unlimited possibitilies. Fuel near sit Land, cheaply transported to local yards, may yet be the solution of our fuel problem. And above all; it may be the pos sible means of bringing down the price to an appreciable ex tent, so far as local consumers are concerned. At all events it will mean that thousands of dollars spent each vear to foreign fuel dealers by the Heppner Light & Water Co. will be kept at home and a big industry within itself built up here. Future development of the Heppner Coal Mines is now in the Lands of a producer and it may be that it is only the initial &le) in a great industrial promotion in this county. We have ralimited resources at hand that need but the awakening touch rf -capital until the development of the same is created to the point of stable production. PRODUCE AND CONSERVE. J A noted food expert has recently said that the United States will be in the bread line within eighteen months unless the American people produce and conserve as they never have before. The food famine of the world is coming directly home to the American people, who in the past have gained the name of wasters. It is a forced put with us now. We have allied our selves with the enemies of the Kaiser. It is now a common fight of the forces of liberty and democracy on the one side against a government which is daily showing it has receded farther from the heights of civilization and humanity than we ever be fore thought possible. Therefore, if the tyrant of Teutonic kultur should succeed in winning from our European allies he would be in a position far stronger than now, to fully realize his dreams of a Germanic empire on this side of the Atlantic. Concentrated support to our own government, which in turn will give every possible aid to allies across the water, will win the war. And we can't win the war if we are busy standing in a bread line to get our daily rations. Every citizen has a full duty to perforin in food conservation. Too many Americans are "apt to get the idea that "slackers" is a term applicable only vo military service. Little old Morrow county gave to the Red Cross a sum wh;ch totalled a few hundred dollars more than the quota of the combined counties of Sherman and Wasco. Our total here was nearly as great as Wheeler and Gilliam counties put together. Yet with our fine showing, a showing which may have been equaled, but in a very few instances excelled anywhere in the state, population considered, there was very little blowing done. Morrow is a modest county. The Morrow county drive was started at the eleventh hour. The work was not put under head way here until after many of the counties had completed their miota. But our own fine showing, the result of practically one day's drive, would not have been possible had it not been for the readv responsiveness of our people. The way in which they v,fr.;UiiKiil mill flip Kliil'it V ith which tliev entered into the drive, alone is responsible for the success of the campaign lo- Vrobably no class of citizens in the United States have felt their prosperitv coming more directly from the great war than a large part of our citizens, especially the farmers and stock men. Feeling this as they do, they have given liberally. They will give more when necessary and Morrow county assures the world that she stands ready to do her bit lor tne uovernmem of the United States at'all times. 1 t Reallv Heppner is on the up-grade at a terrific speed.

The residents of Alkali street are going in strong for new concrete sidewalks, and both sides of the streets are putting down the pave ment as rapidly as Contractor John son can get around to them. Many j of the wooden walks along this street have reached a state of decay and their usefullness was fading away. It therefore became necessary that New walks of this nature are Deing laid all over the city as there Is a ponpral decav of the wooden walks.
