LOOMING UP.
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.

There were two birds flew from Rock

weighing 175 pounds and thepther 226,
and they got married over there. How

Rock creek well deserves its name, for
from the head of navigation to where it
empties into the Columbia river it Js al

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. Good-bye,
birdies t.vo; wo wish you a long and
happy life. . ;
There is as fine land in the Eight Mile

Most all of the valuable land is nJw
taken up, but still there is some good
land left. Fellow-citizens, come and
take the balance. "We are glad to see the
country settle up. We do not have
many schoolhouses and churches yet, as
the country is new. The people here
take great interest in having schools and
churches, howewr. A few years ago
a person passing through this country
could see nothing but bands of cattle
and sheep roaming over the hills. Again
passing through now, yon will see many
fine farms and houses going up. Th
people are iu good spirits, looking for
