Sunday wai pronounced the hottest
day of the pennon to far at Heppner,
the thermometer reKisterinu 99 in the
hade. The heat was felt pretty keen
ly, as up to within the past week ft
hat been comparatively cool, with
cloudy and rainy weather prevailing
at this point. We have escaped the
north winds to date, and the heat has
seemed to do little if any damage
to the maturing crops. Farmers state
that it is just what is needed to put
the gluten in the wheat and harden
it up, so there is no complaint to
make.
Prof. H. H. Hoffman, who for eight
years was the head of the Heppner
schools, is spending a part of his
vacation season in this city, having
arrived here by auto on Friday taut.
Since leaving Heppner five years ago,
Mr. Hoffman has had charge of var
ious schools, and for the past two
years has been superintendent of the
schools at Mullan, Idaho, a town of
about 3500 population, when the
minea are operating. Prof. Hoffman
will enjoy a visit with his many old
time friends in this city.
Father Geis, in charge of the local
Catholic church during the absence
of Father Cantwell, will leave the
coming week for North Dakota and
Iowa to spend a couple of months
vacation. We are not informed as
to where he expects to be located fol
lowing his vacation. Father Cant
well, who has been spending the past
six months on a trip to his old home
in Ireland, has returned and is again
in charge of the Heppner parrish.
Mr. and Mrs. L. E, Van Marter re
turned on Monday evening from Port
land, having spent a few days in the
city to where they accompanied Mr.
Van Marter's brother, Johnson Van
Marter, on his return trip to Ketchi
kan, Alaska. Returning home Mon
day, they were accompanied by Mitii
Mary Crawford, who has been spend
ing a couple of weeks visiting with
relatives in Portland.
Otto Lindstrom, who Is extensively
engaged in wheat raising out eat of
Morgan, was up to Heppner on Sat
urday and had a look at the numer
ous varieties of wheat at the nursery
on the Wells place. He states that
his part of the county will be in the
midst of their harvest immediately,
as most of the grain down that way
is now ready for cutting. The yield
promises to be good.
J. W. Harrison, who farms the Joe
Moyer place on Blackhorse, expects
to be in the midst of harvesting his
crop about the 15th. He looks for
a yield of 20 bushels and states that
the recent warm weather has had no
bad effect on the maturing crop. llH
will harvest 200 acres on this place
of summerfullow grain. Mr. Harri
son was in the city Saturday.
Fred Raymond, Rhea creek farmer
and wheatrasier, was in Heppner Sat
urday and along with some 60 other
tillers of the soil visited the wheat
nursery in the afternoon and is of
the opinion that the Morrow county
demonstration farm shows up pretty
well, as far as it goes.
W. H. Padberg was an interested
spectator at the wheat nursery on
Saturday, where he took note of the
development that is being made in
the production of smut resisting var
ieties of wheat and also sampled the
"run-off" from the Not son still, which
he pronounced good.
Mr. and Mrs. W. O. Baylets mo
tored over to M each am on Sunday,
to be present in time Tuesday to
give President Harding proper greet
ings, and to take in the other inter
esting features of the big program
celebrating the completion of the new
Old Oregon Trail.
Numerous people had been plan
ning that they would go over to-Mca-cham
for the celebration, but so far
as we were able to learn, but few
made the trip, having changed their
plans when the time came to yet
ready.

President Congratulates Officials of Executive Agen
cies Over Results, but Calls Upon Them for Still
Greater Economy During Coming Fiscal Year
Federal Routine Expenses Slashed Another Quar
ter Billion and Year Ends $1,000,000,000 Better
Off Than When It Began.
(Excerpta from President Harding's
Address Upon Public Economy to
Officials of Federal Executive
Agencies, June 18, 1923.)
Members of the government busi
ness organization:
'Two years ago this month there
was held the first meeting of the bus
iness organization of the government.
You were called together at that time
to afford me opportunity to lay before
you the problem of diminishing the
cost of government and to enlist your
help and cooperation in its reduction.
We came out of the World war with
a vastly increased public debt and a
greatly expanded public service. It
wag imperative that we should curb
the rising and so we met together
in that first meeting to discuss and
formulate definite policies of re
trenchment and methods for carrying
them into effect.
"As I look bark over the past two
years I feel that that first meeting
of the business organization wag an
epoch In the adminUtration of gov
ernment busineas. Since then we have
held three simitar meetings, all of
which had as their key note greater
economy and greater efficiency of the
conduct of the routine business of
the government. We are now at the
close of the current fiscal year, and
this is an opportune time to tHke
stock of what has been accomplish
ed this year.
"On January 29, 1923, the date of
our last meeting, we faced an appar
ent deficit of $92,000,000 In the ex
penditures over receipts for the cur
rent fiscal year, 1923. The forecast
today la that we will end the fiscal
year with a balance of ordinary re
ceipts over expenditures of approxi
mately $200,000,000.
"This is a signal achievement, and
while we have been greatly aided by
unforseen increases in ordinary re
ceipts and reduced operations in cap
ital funds, we could not have reached
this successful balancing of the bud
get with a substantial balance on the
right side of the ledger without the
material assistance which you have
rendered. You can all point with
pride to the showing made this fiscal
year as it is due in part to your un
tiring and uneelfish devotion to the
campaign for economy in the admin
istration of the routine business of
the government.
You can take further pride In the

fact that while we will close this fis
cal year with a surplus of receipts
over expenditures of $200,000,000
there has been an actual reduction of
approximately $256,000,000 in the ex
penditures of the departments and es
tablishments engaged with the ordin
ary business of the government from
the corresponding expenditures for
the last fiscal year.
"In a few days we commence an
other fiscal year and I feel confident
that at its close we will be able to
point to even greater achievement
in our campaign for retrenchment,
economy and efficiency than has
been accomplished this current year.
"The appropriations for the coming
fiscal year amount In ronnd figures to
?3,7Ofi,O00,000, which Is $234,000,000
less than the appropriations for the
current fiscal year. As compared with
the estimate presented to Congress,
the appropriations for 1924 are but
$7,825,000 less than the amount asked
for In the budget, and the estimates
supplemental thereto. Action by Con
gresa on the estimates for 1924 there
fore amounted to practical ratifica
tion of the budget and the supple
mental estimates.
"This in itself shows how carefully,
how painstakingly were the estimates
prepared, and is a source of much
gratification to the chief executive. It
is the first time in many years that
executive requests for appropriations
and legislative grant have have been
in practical accord.
"A revised estimate jut completed
indicates that tht ordinary receipts
for 1924 will amount in ronnd figures
to $3,638,000,000 and that the expen
ditures, including $&07,0O0,000 for
public debt reduction, will total $3,
668.000,000. This indicates a deficit
of $30,000,000.
'This deficit must not only be wip
ed out but we must close the coming
year with a substantial balance to
our credit. It is my earnest desire
that the expenditures for the eoming
year, excluding $500,000,000 for debt
reduction, be kept within $3,000,000,
000. Your assistance is needed to ac
complish thia, and I know that I can
count on your loyal and unwavering
support.
"Right here I want to leave this
further word with you. The appro
priations made by Congress are the
measure of the maximum amount of
business which may be planned for
the fiscal year to which the appro
priations relate. They are not the
measure of the minimum amount of
business which may he performed.
Therefore, in planning your expendi
ture program for the coming fiscal
year and apportioning your fundi un
der such program, you should not on
ly carefully guard against any of
your activities being carried on at a
rate which would require additional
appropriations for the fiscal year, but
should arrange to eonduct your bus
iness with a minimum of expense
consistent with efficient administra
tion. X expect you all to effect some
savings from your appropriations for
the coming fiscal year.
"I have noticed from the hearings
before the appropriations committees
of Congress that some of the officials
of the government have not yet real
ized that under the Budget and ac
counting act the estimates which
are before Congress are those sub
mitted by the chief executive. The
officials to whom I refer were appar
ently of the impression that the es
timates which their respective de
partments or establishments submit
ted to the bureau of the budget were
the official estimates which they were
authorized to advocate before the con
gressional committees.
"I trust that this erroneous impres
sion will not prevail hereafter. If
Congress desires estimates other
than those submitted by the chief ex
ecutive, it has reserved unto Itself
in the budget and accounting act the
authority to request such estimates
and defined the methods of obtaining

cordially and loyally to tha budget es
timate.
'Another task which will shortly
confront us la the preparation of the
budget for the fiscal year ending June
10. 125. I contemplate a substantial
reduction in the estimates of appriv
priations for 1925 as compared with
the appropriations for 15)21. In fact,
I have expressed to the director of
the buresa of the budget my desire
that the 1925 estimates, exclusive of
the amount required to meet the re

public debt and the amount required
for the Postofhee department, will not

Who Owns
The Union Pacific?
The Union Pacific is owned by 51,016 stockholders.
Forty-three percent of the stockholders are women.
Stockholders outnumber by 4,461 the yearly average
number of officers and employes of the system.
No one person, firm, corporation or institution owns as
much as two percent of the capital stock.
The average holding is 63 shares of a par value of $6,
300.00. A large amount of the stock, although registered in the
names of stock holders is actually owned by a great many
different individuals, clients of such brokers. Furthermore,
many fo the registered stockholders are executors, trustees,
guardians, etc., representing individuals who are the ben
eficial owners. If, therefore, a list of the actual owners
could be compiled, it would greatly exceed 51,016, and the
average holding would be considerably less than 63 shares.
Again, large amounts of the stock are owned by life insur
ance companies and savings banks, who, though actually
owning the stock, really hold it for the benefit of vast num
bers of life insurance policy holders and savings bank de
positors. Union Pacific stock, like the country's trade, follows the
flag. Stockholders .are found in every state of the Union,
and in Alaska, the Canal Zone, Guam, Hawaii, Philippine
Islands and Porto Rico.
Were these 51,016 Union Pacific stockholders assembled
at one place, they would make a population as large as that
of Lincoln, Butte, Topeka, Pasadena or Pueblo. They rep
resent a greater number than the combined populations of
Colorado Springs, Boulder and Greeley in Colorado, or
Ogden, Provo, and Logan in Utah.
This widespread distribution conclusively answers the
statement that the railways are owned and controlled by a
few persons. To an extent not generally recognized, the
railways are owned by the public. The subject conies home
to every household when it is considered that life insurance
policy holders and savings bank depositors are partners in
the operation and development of our railways.
The public and our employes should know that we are working,
not for a few wealthy men. but for an army of more than 60,000
persons, almost half of whom are women and moat of whom are
persons of moderate means.
To serve well the public and these shareholders Is the highest
ambition of the 46,655 officers and employes of the Union Pacitic
Family.
The Union Pacific's constant effort is to furnish its patrons and
the general public with the best brand of transportation that can
be manufactured.
Constructive auorestions aro always welcome.
