(Montana.)
Ho. ho? feot had irod the heather.
Breathed the mists of Scottish air.
Horn to Highlands" fickle weather.
Named thee well, MacDonald Fair.
Teemed the Exile's brain with won
der. Viewing mountains, lake and glen,
Listening to the breaking Clacier's
thunder,
Thought of the Lochabers then.
Heard the pibrocks shrilly sounding,
The Clansman's slogan. "Come to
Nvar,"
Sent his heart within him bounding,
Strayed his hand to broad claymore.
Weiry wanderer o'er land and sta.
Should Fate thy footsteps guide this
way
Memory. Indian legend tells me,
Restores the dream of yesterday.
THOMAS MURRAY SPEXCER.
First Sigxs of Good From Gra
vity Water System Appear
Ono of the wrongest arguments
ucd 1:1 support of a gra ity water
we;n for Heppner. that it would
snake for a bigger town, is already
KwMiiing a reality. Its uphill work
for any town to get any larger than
its water suppiy. Fortunately Hepp
ner finally came to know that fact '
and then went out after more water.
Kapid progress is being made in the
.-.Tficfifi.-f ion of th nAur ifr 1in
1 00 1 ana its a matter ct montns now until
the city will be drinking mountain
water.
The first appearance of develop
ment coming upon the decision of
the town to get more water, is the
Morrow Homesite Addition on Mor
row Heights. Without water, this
tract could never become a site for
homes. With the water, it can be
made ideal. Mr. Morrow realizes
this, and is backing his judgment
with thousands of dollars. Beauti
ful w inding roadways, parks and ter
races will transform a barren hill
into one of the most acceptable res
idence sections that any town could
possibly want.
. Lincoln boulevard circles the
point of the hill and is the main
street leading to the addition off of
Court street. Other streets have
been pleasingly named Garfield
Way, Wilson Way, Cleveland Way,
Student's Way (near the site of the
old school house.) Eeast First, East
Second, East Third, East Fourth and
East Fifth Street, Court Way and
Division Way Avenue.
The lots are all large. Most of
them are 60 x 100 feet. Mr. Mor
row is announcing reasonable prices
and easy terms of payment, and it
appears to us that he will have no
difficulty in disposing of the lots.
The opening day of sale has been
set for May 5, and no one will be
given a chance to speculate.
For A Better Wool Market
For many years the Oregon wool
grower has had a pretty strong
"hunch" that lie was being euchered
by eastern wool buyers. The buyers
always came into tow n in their spe
cial car, knew before hand what
clips they wanted and what clips
would be offered, and many times,
as a result, the growers did not get
the price which they firmly believed
they were entitled to.
However, with a great many of
the growers, it was not a question of
price so much as it was a matter of
getting some money, badly needed,
with which to keep their business
going.
Of later years, the wool man has
had easier going. He is now in a
position 10 act on his own initiative,
and he has come to the conclusion
that the time is now ripe for calling
for a new deal. Creating an even
market with prices that are some
what in keeping with .the value of
the product, instead of giving from
a fifth to a third of his production
to the buyer, and working out a sys
tem for financing within the grow
ers' organization, are some of the
problems which will be discussed at
the meeting of the wool men from
all over the state of Oregon in
Heppner on Saturday. Every local
grower should find it to his own in
terest to attend the meeting, whether
he has but one old ewe and a cou
pie of lambs or two or more bands
of sheep.
Heppner people showed by their
interest last Sundav afternoon that
they appreciate a band and stand rea
dy to give it every encouragement
While the boys, most of them are be
ginners, and their repertoire is not
a large one, yet with more practice
they give promise of filling a long
felt want in the town.
Give Them All The Same Deal
A number of good ordinances
have been passed by the common
council of the city which are aimed
for civic betterment. They will av
ail but little if they are not proper
ly enforced.
One ordinance gives the city pow
er to lay walks along property and
if the owner of the property will not
pay, then the property itself secures
the cost in the form of a lien. This
ordinance is working successfully
It is an effective weapon in forcing
negligent property owners to make
their side walk improvements.
But the side walk ordinance
should be enforced all along the
line. There is not a more unsightly
corner in the city today than that
where formerly stood the Palace ho
tel. For more than two years peo
ple have been taking to the street
in order to encompass this corner
on either side. They have been pa
tient. The property was in litiga
tion. Everything was up in the air,
so to speak. Now that the litigation
has been settled, we ask in the name
of a better and cleaner Heppner,
why are not concrete side walks be
ing built around the corner of this
property as by law provided.
The lot is today, probably of high
er value than any other in the town.
For that reason alone it can stand
the cost of the improvement. It may
be the new owners have plans for
making this improvement in the
near future. e hope they have.
It will help the town and help them
selves as well.
The fire zone ordinance is not be
ing enforced satisfactorily to a great
many people. It leaves a bad taste
in the mouths of many, when these
ordinances are not enforced equally
11 the way around.

Exercise Your Franchise
Eights
Recently an audience in the city
of New York was told it would be
fifty to one hundred years before the
American people are able intelli
gently to exercise the right of fran
chise. This severe arraignment
came as something of a shock to self
satisfied residents of the big town,
but there was more than a, measure
of truth disclosed in the statement.
Perhaps 100 per cent of truth would
have been disclosed had it been said
50 years are likely to pass before
the American people WILL exercise
right of franchise intelligently, for
we must not forget our besetting sin
of apathy.
The average citizen believes he
has done full duty when he has cast
his vote, and he feels a sense of sat
isfaction when victory crowns his
own judgment. However, too often
our victory is but the mantle of de
feat, for usually the voter has had no
voice whatever in the selection of
the candidates for whom he has cast
his ballot. The average business
man pays more attention to the se
lection of an office boy for his busi
ness than he does to the selection of
a man to represent him in the nation
al capitol. Also after selection he
watches tlte boy more closely than he
watches the actiities of his legis
lative servant.
Representatives are sent to Con
gress to work for the convictions of
the people who sent them there, not
to express their own views. Of
course, the average representative
forgets this fact as soon as he takes
his oath and follows his own bent
largely perhaps because of custom,
his constituents failing to give him
other bent to follow. Public interest
in the work of a representative us
ually is confined to endorsement for
an appropriation for some local im
provement. The Pork Barrel re

lions upon millions of dollars of ex
pense, a condition that seems to
mean little or nothing to the individ
ual.
This is not a condition peculiar
to any party. It is part of the ac
cepted form of governmental activi
ty, the result of apathy on the one
hand and the desire to score an ad-
vantage on the other. Is it any won-
der we are weighted down by taa-j
tion?
There is not a busiess man of note
in the country who does not knowj
that when the first Liberty Loan was'
floated it could have been sold to the
people at 3 per cent instead of at
3 1-2 per cent had the government
approached the people as any great
bond house would have approached
the people, by advertising in the
newspapers. When you write your
congressman or your senators about
the benefit of the government pet
ting in closer touch with the people
through advertising and thev trv to
squirm out under the plea of econ-i
omy, ask them how much monev
wold be represented in a saving of
me nait of one per cent on the inter
est of the first Liberty Loan issue
the millions of dollars that must be
paid by the people into the national
treasury for years and years to come.
The people never will get efficient
or economical government until the
people force the government to use
advertising in government function
ing. Let us have light.

How much should I give
to make this a better world?
A CERTAIN man in New York rilled out his
income tax report.
It showed an income so large that his tax was
53. And hia total gifts to church and char
ity for the year were $148.
Think of it thousands spent for luxuries and
pleasure for himself; and $148 to leave the world
a littles better than he found it!
Most of us do better than that; but not so very
much better.
Our average daily gift for all church causes is
less than we spend for daily papers
less than a local telephone call
less than a third of the day's car fart
less than 3 cents a day
No wonder that 80? of the ministers of America
are paid less than $20 a week. No wonder that
the church hospitals turn away thousands of sick
people a year. No wonder that China has only
one doctor for every 400,000 people. No wonder
that every church board and charity society is
forever meeting deficits, forever passing the hat
It isn't because we are selfish; it isn't because we
don't want to help. It's just because no one has ever put
up a great big program to us, and asked us to think of the
work of the church in a systematic businesslike way.
The Interchurch World Movement represents the) united
program of thirty denominations. They have surveyed
their whole task, no business could have done it better.
They have budgeted their needs; no business could have
more scientific budjet. They have united to prevent the
possibility of waste and duplication. At least a million dot
lars will be saved by the fact that thirty individual cam
paigns are joined in one united effort.
And they come to the men or women who love America
to you this week asking you to use them as the chan
nel through which a certain definite part of your income
can be be applied to make this a better world.
Only you can determine what part of your income that
should be.
It's h good time riftht now to answer that question.
We're passing throufih the world just once; how much
better will the world be because you passed through?
