THE GAZETTE-TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1923. PAGE THREE Trees of Morrow County Said to Contain Diamonds We are reliably informed that the trees of Morrow county contain dia monds. Thii information cornea to ui from Hardman, where in former years, opala were produced in large numbers, and of very fine quality, but now thia Industry will pale into the ahade. While sawing wood one day the past week, mini for that pur pone portable gasoline aaw outfit, A. W. Saling and Wm. Grener made the diamond discovery. They were working on a big log, and when about half way through ran onto lomething that would not cut and their aaw blade was ruined. Investigation ahowed that they had come in con tact with a small quarti pebble, which had lodged near the middle of the log some 40 feet from the butt end, and these gentlemen state that this pebble contains diamonds, and we shall now expect the people of the community to all turn to woodsaw ing and diamond hunting, for there is wonderful possibilities here of find ing the precious stones, and then they will have their compensation in get ting a lot of wood ahead which might pay for the trouble, providing too many saw blades were not ruined. There is nothing stated as to the quality or value of the diamonds, however, but the gentlemen found the quarts pebble in the tree all right. W. H. Instone was in from Lena Tuesday and states that the snow out there is gradually melting away and should soon be gone. The stoek men still have feed and will get through in good shape. Mrs. Instone, who is still in town, is about fully recovered from her recent severe operation and will be ready to re turn home as soon as the weather settles. Chas. H. Erwin reached the 38th milestone in his life on this celestial aphere last Saturday. To commem orate this event Mrs. Erwin invited a few of his close friends .to spend the evening with him. Cards and a toothsome lunch interspersed with musif: and conversation were the main indulgences at the gathering. lone Independent.

MEN must turn from the material madness of this hour. There is no salvation in the things of the world. The kingdoms of this world have utterly failed to feed the soul, com fort the heart, bind the bruised spir it, soothe the aching head, and give mankind an outlook of hope and sal vation. Men must come back to God. They must appeal to Christ. They must listen to the Holy Spirit Yea, they must be born again. Serious men are thinking these things. Consecrated Christians are preparing for the coming revival. There is no repentance after death. There will be no preaching In hell. No one will have a chance to be saved after he has closed his eyes in death. Men are staying away from the church because they are afraid to Muter, to the gospel. That is a sign of the coming revival. Men are dodging minUter. That is a sign of the movement of the con science. Evil men are hating and persecut ing Christian ministers who believe in the blood of Chrit. That is a sign of the approaching day of re pentance. The rustle of the wings of the spir it of eternal hope and salvation can be heard. Ministers and churches should awake and begin to pray. , The revival is coming. tele -Jcte tJbsU VOU'OS RI6HT WABTHA WMBN vou SAf THtai's a mi6htv inE LINB ffBXWSSN CONTBNTMBWT AN" LATIN BS!

Wilson Says Industry Has Eliminated All Unhealthy Business Conditions and Is In Position for Year of Profitable Operations, Which Means More Profits For Livestock Growers. Written Specially for The Gazette-Times by THOMAS E. WILSON, President Wilson & Co., Chicago , New York, Feb. 21, The meat packing industry has entered upon an unmistakahly definite period of better business and unless some severe and unforseen circumstances are encountered, 1923 must be a year of profitable operation for ourselves as well as the live stock producers. If we do not proper in 1923 the fault can properly be traced to those running this business, for all conditions augur an opportunity that has been absent in out indusrty for several years past. ine outlook Is brightened consid erably by the fact that we entered upon our fiscal year without being confronted by an accumulation of troublesome stocks and other un healthy conditions which are now eliminated. This encouragnig factor is shown in our current stocks being at a level that ought to be normally carried and which should be marketed at a profit. We find that the demand for our products is very brisk due to the greatly improved industrial condi tions. Fresh meats alone are rarely ever marketed at a profit; so the free movement of meat alone does not al ways indicate profitable operation of the industry; therefore, our profits must be realized from the develop ment and sale of by-products in con junction with the meat. Improved industrial and labor con ditions also have reflected themselves in a more active demand for our by products. When there is a quickened demand by the consumers it is because the great portion of our people who de pend upon their labor for wages are more regularly employed at wages which permit them to purchase more liberal supplies of clothing, shoes, furniture, etc. Thin immediately is seen by in creased demands of industry in gen eral, which requires large quantities of hides, wool, curled hair, oils, glue, and many other of our by-products which are utilized in the manufac ture of goods rquired by the people. These are important items of our business and their free movement on an active market such as ia indicat ed for 1923 is of considerable import ance to our net results for the year. Prosperity seems to be in the air in this country. Many factory smoke stacks which have been but hupe piles of masonry and brick work for a couple of years, are again active. The greater part of our population which directly depends upon agricul ture for a livlihood ia finding their position gradually improved. The purchasing power of the far mer is being increased through im proved markets for their products. Grain and live atock have shown bet ter profits for the farmers, especial ly those who have fed grain to live stock, thus marketing their grains on the hoof. Every indication points toward progress, though there is serious thought to be given the foreign situ ation. It is quite necessary for sta bility that we have an outlet for our surplus production. If we make bet ter progress in this direction this year, it will not necessarily mean boom conditions, but will witness a return to more etable and satisfac tory times. Our producers On the farms have been hard hit just as the packers were. Those who Buffered because of the drought are recovering, and producers everywhere seem to be working harder to produce on a more economical basis. There is now a fine spirit of coop ration between the live stock pro ducers and the packers, which should, through the elimination of wastes, increasing efficiency, and lowered costs of production and distribution, increase the prosperity of both branches of the industry without in creasing the relative costs of the con sumer. 1923 looks promising. E. R. Huston is able to be back on the job again at the Phelps Grocery Co. store, after an enforced layoff of a couple of weeks, recovering from an attack of lumbago.

He had it. His words of wisdom were always inspira tional. Amongst great truths that he spoke, he said : "Economy makes happy homes and sound nations. Instill it deep." Economy is thrift. Guarding well that which we have saved is important to thrift. Banks here have a supreme task to perform to encourage thrift and to gather money from all sources and safeguard it for the owners. "Instill deep these habits of econ omy" as the father of our country rec ommended then the ways of thrift will bring you here where we pay 4 per cent on savings accounts. jnKmmmmutusttmmmatmitanmKuttt SAVING IS WELL WORTH THE EFFORT IT MAY COST YOU. !tiii!ttm!:ttK!H!t!!mt:mtttmKmm:tmtmm FirsT; National Bank Heppner, Oregon selling question.
