Heppner and the ricli foothills country surrounding it, continues to make rapid strides in the onward march of improvement. New ranch? are being opened tipJ fertile fields are being fenced, and old settlers are removing from their former houses into new and more substantial structures, and taking their families over . the country in elegant spring hacks instead of the dead-axe wagon they used in former days. The growth of Mipner itself is being very much retarded by the entire ab sence of a supply of lumber and building material. There is an urgent demand for move building?, and several are projected, but no lumber canine had to erect them, and there is very little prospect o having any here before late spring or early summer. At the moun tain mills from which Heppner draws its supply, Vontdderable logging is being done, but the chances are that the demands of the next braiding season will far ex ceed the supply of lumber. ; As yet the winter lias bfn only one in name. Sheep and stock of all kinds are doing very well on the open range, and taken all "around, the lleppner Hills are looming up and rapidly increasing in population and development, and .with the assurance of a county government of its own in the near future, and a convenient-to-all county seat at Heppner, this region has certainly a bright prospect be fore it. MAIL MISMANAGEMENT. It is seiiii-oincially announced that Postal Agent Ben . Simpson is to be transferred to the Southern States. J ndgkg from the way the postal business of this section is supervised, it would be no very great loss to the people of this upper country if Ben and all his fellow-sinecures of the posthole ser vice were enclosed in registered packages and ti .inferred to South America. Personal I v, Ben is n nice, quiet old gentlemnn. But this is no reason why he or other nice quiet gentlemen should be allowed to . languidly, bottom cliniri in .the Portland postof lice building while the people of Hepp ner and other' points in Eastern Oregon have their mails carried past proper stations, confused and delaytCi This chaotic condition of things is becoming chronic and notorious, and when the men who are paid to regulate the eeagjjee fail to do it, they should be regulated themselves. Transfer Ben, or transfer the whole outfit, but do not! O, doughnut! let the people's mail rights be longer so shamefully abused. Ii')ii(r Mei-chauts. An anonymous writor iu the Portland Fitiuulurd ehurjjes Hoppnrr mt'rolmnts with selling goods fit outrageous prices, charging double c impound interest, being avaricious, etc. These roeusutions are unjust nnd nntrno. There in no class of men in any section who have done more for the develop ment of the country nnd tlio ncooramo ('ution of settlers thitn tl& merchant of Heppner. They have carried men o'i (heir ltooka year after year.nS furniufced them with goods, while they, ttie mer chants, were . paying interest after !K) days to wholesalers below. Notwith standing the fact that the mer chants have to meet their hills on tiiiw cr be 8wnmed, they carry their custom ers for years without crowding them. And some of our oldest, and t.t-dnjpmost solid settlers will toll you fiat they never could have made a start in the country had it not been for the assist. tiioe nnd leniency of our j.'ioneejjuprohants. As to prices, everybody knoT7Tr ought to know, that when goods are brought from San O'Viitui that silt wutor freight, railroiuMWight mnl 4() mile of wngon freight costs Roniothhig. And when all thesn items are figured up und liecesssarily a ided on, it is a fact that goods can be to-dr.y bought us cheap for cashiu lleppuer as they can be bjv. wS H'sNVw I-onf In regard to running las paper, the editor of the alia S alia I mon savs: In future we will give patient and kindly littentiou to nil suggestions to "hang it to" those t'ae ".-iUirg-ytor" dislikes; will take sides, generally both sides, iu nil private quarrel's, hoping to make them public nnd thereby produce a sensational item; will give nn attentive ear and ready notelo3v to nil scandals and "write t'.iem up" in the most attractive manner; will attend all s.viiU gatherings, whether in vited or not, and give detailed nceonnti of the costumes worn by the fair lai i 's, Mid drinks taken by the brave men present ; proof 8'ieets.of all articles will will bo sent tound to our patrons before publication, so as tj learn whether "it is lit to print."

Moore and wife have returned home from their pleasure trip to the Willamette valley, and are better than ever pleased with Kastern Oregon, ud say there will be a liirge immigration to Eastern Oregon nert spring. Rock creek well deserves its name, for from the head of navigation to where it empties into the Columbia river it Js al most one mass of rocks on each side. The channel is generally narrow, nnd in many places for miles no wagon can travel, or even a man on horseback. There are not many large vessels plying up and down Rock creek. The largest one carries a cargo of about 300 pounds. The main cargo consists of two young lovers going by the way of Cape Horn to Birch creek to get married.
