THE GAZETTE-TIMES, IIEPPNEK, OliEGOX, TIiriJSDAY, MAY 25. 1022. r.vfln hve oca fappcmn C. L. Sweek returned on Friday from a visit to the home of his moth er near Monument, lie states that there will be little wool come from that section to the Heppner ware houses this season owing to the very bad condition of the road across and out of the Wall creek canyon. Just now this road is almost impassable and it is the opinion of Mr. Sweek that the greater portion of the wool will go over to Condon. Mrs. Olive Frye, Mrs. Pearl Chid sey, Miss Opal Briggs and Mrs. Lil lian Turner, accompanied by her lit tle daughter, Jeannette, were pass engers leaving Heppner Sunday for Eugene. They go to attend the con vention of Rebekahs of the state of Oregon held at Eugene this week as delegates from the Heppner lodge, Mrs. Frye being an otticer -in the state assembly. Mr. and Mrs. John McDevitt were in the city on Monday from their farm out north of lone. Mr. Mc Devitt states that he has a fine pros pect for a good crop at present and the recent good growing weather ha added greatly to its appearance and made wonderful improvement in the looks of all crops in his neighborhood. John P. Hughes was down from his home at Helix, Oregon, this week on a visit to his parents, Mr. and Mrs John Hughes of this city. He is now a farmer in the Helix country and states that the crop outlook there is quite favorable just at this time. though the season has been rather backward. . Miss Peggy O'Rourke of The Dalles has been enjoying a pleasant visit with Heppner friends during the week, coming up from The Dalles on Friday. She was accompanied by Miss June Kenewick, and the young ladies were guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Mike Curran.

Dillard French, extensive stock man of Big Buter creek, was doing business in this city on Saturday. Hi? section had a good rain on Friday, which will help some, Dillard says. F. M. Griffin, while visiting his daughter at Maupin last week was so stricken with rheumatism that he was unable to return home. lone Independent. Mr. and Mrs. Joe Devine of Lex ington were visitors in this city on Monday afternoon. I Fie- This whole difficulty comes as a .result of the unscientific manner infH ; which labor is distributed. Excess of 1 i employment hours and pay, and then 1 110 'nbor at all works poorly for both j worker and public. Human nature , is a factor that must be counted on. When a workman gets fifty dollars ; a week for ten weeks and then noth ing for ten weeks, he never is as well off as when he gets twenty-five dol lars for twenty weeks. His standard of living is automatically raised rfnr. I ing the period of unusual prosperity ana in tne period or depression it is doubly hard for him to get "back to normalcy," when, as a fact, he finds he must get back more nearly to star vation. Government investigations, of course, are usually more or less farcical, costly to the people and non resultful, but it would be highly ben eficial if the government could work out some specific plan and back it up by commandatory legislation that would bring about a steadier labor condition. In many cases the unions have the country by the throat and they do not seem averse to squeez ing the puhlic windpipe. At the same time the world's happenings point v ith a warnins fineer to the fnllv nf oppressive warfare on the men who m tne manual lahor of the hour. Certainly the man willing to work should be reasonably assured of steauy ianor. The Coal Barons Sit Tight The complacency of the coal oper ators in the light of the coal strike, bodes ill for the public next winter. Were the operators suffering, they would squeal so loud that their cries would be heard from coast to coast. Their silence indicates simply that they have the situation in hand fi nancially. In brief, it will be found there is already mined and awaiting higher prices, a supply of coal per haps sufficient to take care of win ter needs with a short market and high cost to the public, but the black diamonds will be carefully concealcl until, the proper time comes. In the meantime, the miners are to be taught a lesson. Every indication is that the winter will see the delivery of a poor qual: ity of coal in all towns and villages with increased coal bills for the peo- COMING TO The Dalles and Pendleton Dr.Mellenthin NI'K( IAI.IST In Internal Medicine for (he past eleven jenra.
