Royse, of Dairyville, was over to Heppner Wednesday. The weather in the Ridge country is bright aud sunshiny, and the people are pros pering. Mr. C. E. Fell, who has recently beeu ver to his ranch in the Eight Mile coun try, tells the same story of rapid settle ment and home-making throughout that section. Taylor Dodson's little boy George, who recently passed through a severe ridge o! the croup, is able to be up and about, but is not recovering as fast as Lis parents would wish. Uncle Billie Mitchell, one of the first aettlera of the Heppner Hills, has sold his Hinton creek ranch to John Williams, rnd thinks of hunting new cattle range Mi the Malheur country. ebea When yon want a good rig to go any where, or a saddle-horse, or want to fepd jour team when you come to town, re uemler that Nelse Jones lias the only livery stable in Heppner.

Leezer in the same period amounts to $13,000,000. Another indication of the mildness of the Heppner winter is that the thorough bred dogs who mike their headquarters at the Gazettb of Hoe sit down on their tails and sorutoh their ribs for fleas just as lively as they did last July. Heppner weather the past week has been cloudy and foggy, with the thermometer averaging about the freezing point. The fog has settled and frozen on brush Bnd bunchgraBs, making the latter pretty to look at, but rather ioy for stock to eat. A young child was"taken to church in Quebec, Canada, the other day, and bap tized, and when the parents and friends returned home the child strongly advised them all to.buy their canned goods, gro ceries, books, pajjjrs, etc., at Minor & Dodson's.

James Hardman, the young mm who had one of his feet frozen while hunting in the Wall creek country last month, is having a serious time. He is stopping with his nncle Dave, at Hardman, and this week surgical aid had to be sent for to amputate the toes and perhaps the foot. A Woman Hnuffrage Association has sent to the GStette oiHce a long adver tisement, with a requestCto "kindly in sert it." Oh, yes, wt'll insert it at the usual rates. All the publisher has to do is to fisk the paper dealer to "kindly" send him a ton of paper, and it never costs him a cent. The Heppner sohoolboys have sprung n new racket on playing perhaps, nmVvx longer allow tka dirt on their slidew oome in contact with their unprotected pants. Thov now use short boards for slidiufj, whicii shoot down Schoolhouse Hill at a rapid rate, and do not injure the bedrjok. When rivers are much warmer than the air, they give rise to fogs, because the rapid evaporation from the warm water pours more water int" the atmos phere than it can hold suspended in an invisible ntiite, and consequently the best place to get barbed wire, nailn, tinware, j or any kind of hardware, is at W.

Owners of Heppner dogs are respect fully notified that the publisher of the Gazkttk cannot bo responsible for the s'ifety of their animals when they come b irking around his bucking cayuse. About that tima he has all he can do to run the front end of his pony, and can't attempt to control the heel part, which was loaded by Guuu the blacksmith, and is liable to go off at any moment.

LATEST KKOM WASHINGTON. Q Congress on the SHle of the People. As we go topress news comes that the house has adnpted by a b;g majority sweeping resolutions in favor of restor ing to the people all unearned land grants. Congressman Cobb says that in the next three months twenty million acres of railway lands will certainly be forfeited to the government and opened for publio entry. Probably the bill for feiting the Texas Pacifio grant has al ready passed. The house is on the side of the people. The senate remains to be heard from. Hail Jluttors. A correspondent of the Weston Leader says: "Although postoffioe men exact all tbe postage the la-v allows them, yet they handle newspapers with a great deal less care than letters. They seem to consider newspapers a sort of deck load which is entitled to secondary con sideration a species of cargo about which the deckhands are not required to be so particular. The clerk who will ap propriate a newspaper wilfully violates his clerical obligations, is an intentional wrong-doer," and deserves prosecution for larceny more than does a man who steals a loafa'f bread. There are post masters in Jregoa who will stick to their seats and tell a man there is no mail for him rather than get up and look. And after looking through a package of letters they will tell a man there is no mail for him, although there may be half a dozen of his newspapers pigeonholed close "Iff! Tht-y don't consider news papers as "mail" unless specially asked for. Paying as they do, all the postage the law exacts of them, it ought tu take more than the lalwr-saving decisions of the country postmasters to rule out newspapers from under tueir proper head of mail matter.

Gant Gbove, Michigan, Jan. 10. Ed. Gazettb: I stumbled across a copy of your paper the other day, which had been left at our hotel by a traveler.

Is the climate around Heppner as cold as it is here? 2. Are the trees onyour prairies as big as ours are here? 3. Could I buy a team of mules there as cheap as I can here? L Could I make as easy a living ia Heppner as I do here? 5. Would you advise me to come to Eastern Oregon, or to go east, or do yon think I can do better by staying where I am? A. J. Trask. ;1.

And if you want a lot of copies of the Gazette, Bay 200 or so, you can have them at the usual price. Write again. bOSSrIlS FROM LONE KOCK. Remarkably fine winter weather. Miss Sallie Conkliu has been in town for three weeks, visiting. The Lone Rock court is in session. Three civil cases on the docket. Lone Rock crammar: "One ceese is a goose, and a whole lot of gooses is Jeeso." Born On Jan. 6, to the wife of Ed. All doing well.

Q Deputy Sheriff LeFevre went to Fossil and recovered a valuable horse belong ing to Morgan Ward that had been "smuggled." m Deceiving "appearances" have caused a falliug off iu the number of attempts made by our boys to take married ladies to the skating rink. The Standards and Oregonians of Portland, already two weeks printed, must be trying to reach Lone Rock viat Chiaago and New Orleans. They have not arrived yet. Word hafj.iust oaiue in to the effect that some of Lone Rock's "wild and woolly and bad boys from Whoopup creek," were taken in at Alkali and" re quired to put up shekels for their ; ap pearance before the grand jury. A step in the right direction. Boys should put on good behavior when away from home. Vevvtx. A SIIKEPJIAX'S SAY. heppner, Jan. -i, M. c iuiy. gazette: rienat r blater's letter declining to help raise the tariff on wool isii hard pill for me to swallow, but still I have to honestly admit that he is right. Like many other people, I am selfish. and want to make all the money I can. Aud if putting a high tariff on wool will make manufacturers pay me more for what I produce, of course high tirilT goes if my saying so will make it go. But of course the wearer of woolens will have to pay the fiddler in the end. We sheepmen have no just right to claim protection ror our ousin-gss at tne ex pense of our neighbors who produce other staples. n- The JUg-Head. A smaj-l man with-the big-head is a sad sight to loo0upnWGodalmigbtymade part of him, and his own vanity made the rest. Even if he don't own a whole town and the adjoining precincts, he sometimes thinks he does. Although having a good start in life himself, and being comfortably fixed, when he sees a neighbor gradually working out of debt by hard work and honest industry, the selfish spirit of the big-headed small man comes to the surface, and he forth with starts in to crowd out his poorer neighbor and steal the business another has struggled to build up. Well, some times wire-pullers and schemers sucoeed in their avaricious ideas and sometimes they don't. Soffltimes it depends. Land NotieeH. A bill has been introduced in oonrres to repeal the law requiring settlers to ad vertise their intention to prove up. At present the law compels a settler to ad vertise his intention for six weeks in the paper published nearest the land, and fixes the advertising charge at $7, al though some papers allow local land agents to increase their own fees by a shave of $2 from the paper's proper pay. If the law is renealed it will be a h a villi: to the settler, but soiffe other way wila probably be devised to make, his land oostshimgjut gs much as it does at pres- eui. o Tardy Justice. Congressman Glasscockgof California has introduced a bill to pay p!l j.liers and sailors who served oa t Pnsilic Cofvst the difference between 1 b-: green back they received for thoir services and the gold coin they were reuiigd to have wherewith to purchase necessaries of life. Soldiers on this coast during the war were paid $16 per month in greenbacks, when the olatter were only worth SS cents on the dollar. It is about time theiPaccounts were balanced up.
