The groundhog saw hi ha1n Tuesday the 2, and, -ccording the oi l proverb, we are "stucl. for six weeks more of wint weather. In other words we vii have a late pprinz opening. at- the The Oregon Ir:ieator, pubish at the new town of Itrigon in th northern part of this county, pad its debut last Wednesday. It W four page, tix columu in size and has a very neat appearance. F. B. Hotbrook, manager for the Oregon Land & Water Company, is its editor. The object of the paper can be learned from a, para graph in its firBt issue, which reads: "A its name indicates tbH paper has been established for the pur po-e ol preaching the gospel of ir rigation, and more particularly ir rigation in Oregon. To that end we intend to devote our best ener gits and all of our resources." The proposition of R. F. Hynd fir a cry park for the town of Heppner is a good one and the city officials houM not delay the acceptance thereof and providing the town with this much needed improvement. It is agreed that there is In tier spot in the city for the making of a beautiful park than this. The soil is rich, the urface level aud all other con dition! favorable. All tht re mains to make it an attractive plot is the planting of trees, ihrubl-ry n.l grass, snd with the proper care, in Usi than fire yurs II ppner hen the present work, now under way, upon Heppner's streets is completed no city in Eastern Oregon will have better streets, and the city council i& deserving of due credit for its good work along thie line. Main, May, Gale and Church streets, the most traveled thoroughfares, will be made self draining, that is round ing in the center so that the water will ilrain each way to the curbs. As Main street has much gravel and crushed rock it is believed that the present improvements will clear it of mud, or compara tively so, at all seasons of the year, beside the street present a much more attractive appearance than he level street even in the dry reason. Tha Pendleton Tribune, in its Sunday edition, throws some light upon the gigantic combination of heat buyers who control prices in Eat-tern Oregon and Watbington. The Washington wheat growers were the faret to uiscover the ex istence of the powerful combination, and laid the matter before the com mercial club of Spokane which drafted strong resolutions atking Governor Mc Bride to intefere an. declare the combination a monop- ly. The operations of the buyers a t .1 11 r is explained in tins way: "io local buyer is allowed to purchase wheat from another buyer's ware house " So when ft farmer, having wheat to sell that is stored in a certain warehouse, goes to the various buyers and offers his grain for sale he Is invariably turned down and forced to sell to the buyer in whoe warehouse his wheat is stored. This being the case there apeare but one solution of the problem, and that is for the farmers to combine and build their own warehouses for the storage of their crops. A statement showing the debts of the leading nations of the world has been recently given out by the Bureau of Satisticts in Washing ton. The grand total indebtness of the civilized powers is placed at about thirty-five billion dollars, about one-half of which ia carried by five countries, viz., France. Great Brittain, Germany, Italy and Spain. France heads the list with an indebtedness of nearly six billion dollars; Great Britain fol lows with nearly four billion ; Russia is third with about three and a half billion; Italy ana Spain come next with a debt of someth ing more than two and one-half billions each. The United States makes the best showing of all, having a debt ot less than one billion dollarB. The imperial debt of Germany is only about seven hundred million dollars, but the states which comprise the German Empire have in aggregate debts of more than two and a half billion. In per capita New Ze.and and Australia heads the list, the former having a debt of $327 and the latter of $277 for each inhabitant. wo have a complete stock of SHELF AND HEAVY HARDWARE, PAINTS, OILS, NAILS, WIRE, ETC.

There Is a theory that "a national debt is a national blessing." This theory is accepted by our masters of finance, who hdve mane our great National banking system de pendent upon Uuited States bonds. Thus, so far from feeling the pinch of debt, the Nation thrives and does business upon ite bonded in debtedness. Oregonian. 4 The BAIN Wagon Gilliam&J3isbee Roosters for Sale.
