THE GAZETTE. BEPPNER. THURSDAY, May lV HEPPNER Is tb county-seat of Morrow, located near the center of the oonnty, on Willow oreek, and at tbe terminus of the Willow creek branch of tbe O. B. k N. It has a population of about 800, and is reoeiring Dw residents daily. As a business plaos, it bids fair to take the lead of any town in Eastern Oregon, having tribu tary to it an immense agricultural and stock country. The sum of 810,000 was appropriated at tbe last session of the legislature for the purpose of improving the Heppner and Monument wagon road. That amount will be expended on this route during tbe ooming summer, rendering it the best mountain road in the state, and one which will aocommodute hun dreds of well-to-do stockmen, who are bestowing their patronage on merchants in Heppner, owing to its advantages us a trading point. Fully 3,000,000 pounds of wool will find sale, or shipment at Heppner this season. ' Beat estate is advancing rapidly, and is selling at a figure 20 to 25 per cent, higher than prices prevailing three mouths ago. One of the best flouring mills in East ern Oregon is looated at this point. For further information concerning Heppner, address Orin Li. Fattebson, Real Estate Agout, Heppner, Or. THAT STRIP OF SAND. Ou tbe north of Morrow county, next to the Columbia, is a 6trip of uand about 15 miles iu width. It is practically a desert, inasmuch as it raises nothing in the line of agricultural products. However, it is a fair grazing country. Irrigation would reclaim to Mor row all that strip of land. It would produce equal .to the best of our section. Anything in the line of cereals, adapted to this climate, would grow. As a fruit country, it would rank equal to the most favored parts of the northwest. It could be irrigated from the Columbia without any great incon venience, and at a nominal ex pense, as compared with tlio vulue of this section when reclaimed. Mr. Newton Williamc, a resident of Heppner, has given this mutter some attention, yet the scheme has not been consuniated. The irrigation of this laud would not only convert it from the un fruitful to the moat productive, but would have a tendency to cool these north winds which prevail during the heated term. No mat ter how dry the season, immense crops would be raised if it were not for those "hot winds." It is our opinion that those north winds become heated or receive a goodly part of their heat while passing over this miniature Sahara. Irri gation will not only make it a fruit ful section, but benefit every part of Morrow county also. The government has a board of engineers who give special atten tion to the matter of irrigation. They are now in California, and their' attontiou should be called to this desert strip in Morrow county. WILL HEPPNER PEOPLE All) IN 1 MP HO VINO 11 UTTli HM1 1. K canyon t The following letter was handed us by Mayor Henry Blackmail, with permission to publish. Hepp ner people, you will have to do more "digging up" if you hopo to catch the I.ono Kock trade. The Gazette has referred often to the necessity of improving Buttermilk canyon. Now you have the opinion of a representative man of thut section, Capt. T. 'J. lirown: Lone Rock, Or., May fi, '89. 11. Bhwkman: Dear Sin. I would liko to know if you Heppner men are going to do auything to improve lUitlermilk canyon. If so, it ought to be done right away, for all are waiting to shear as soon as it cUurs oil'. 1 am writing to you by request of quite a number of sheepmen, who would take their wool to Heppner if the the road through Buttermilk canyon was passable. Now, you Heppner men must know that it is to your interest to opon up this road. You and others will there by receive quite a lurgo'tradu. H. B., nerve up, and do something for us, and we will try to do something too. We will then have a road, and you and others will bo sur prised to see the amount of trade which will come from here, (live ug a good road and a fair deal and the town of Heppner will catch this trade. Lot ma know by re turn mail if Heppner is going to work or not. Yours Respectfully, T. J. IS now N. WILL BEAR INVESTIGATION. At no time in the history of the ection known now as Morrow county, has there been such favor able crop prospects as aro seen this spring. Every tree and plant looks flourishing and full of life. Grain has that dark green color, which speaks for itself. Farmers are taking pains to rid their ranches of squirrel peBts, and when harvest is upon us, niillious of bushels of a line quality of grain will be turned out for the market This flattering condition of crops is due principally to co pious rains and proper tilling of the soil. It has been asserted by thinking men, who have investi gated the matter, that railroads and telegraph lines have reclaimed deserts. If this has anything to do with the present prosperous condition of things in Morrow, we are doubly blessed in Laving both crops and means of getting it to market Morrow has always been known as a prosperous county, but this season it excels herself. In tending settlers will do well to visit Morrow county and see for themselves. It will bear investi gation. THE LAST RESORT. -A matter to he considered by Long Creek sheep men when shipping their wool and freight is the difference in the tariffs between Arlington and Heppner. There is a difference in Arlington's favor of IT) cents on the hundred on wool and a difference of 30 cents a hundred on merchandise freight, making a total saving of 6.5 cents to thoso who come here. Teamsters all know the distances from Himlmau to either point, and that the advantage of better roads is also in Arlington's favor, though there is a dis tance of about 3J miles against us. But this is otl'-set by the canyons between Hardinnn and " Heppner." Arlington Tillies. The wool "tnriftV' are the same from both places on baled wool, and 20 cents per hundred in favor of Arlington on wool in sacks. On merchandise, there is a difference of 25 cents instead of 30 in favor of Arlington. Goods can be bought just as cheap in Heppner as in Arlington, and all tlio wool-grower has to induce him to haul to Arlington is the 20 cents per hundred on wool in sacks, and aB a (ill-mile trip cannot be made for this amount, there is no comparison in the shipping points for Long Creek people. It is only a game of "bluff." Long Creek wool haulers are coming to Heppner, just the same. A SLOW PROCESS. Some weeks ago, citizens of Heppner agitated the organization of a joint slock company for the purpose of boring an artesian well. This plan did not meet with favor at the hands of many, preferring to let our town corporation accom plish the work. The matter being referred to our town council, has received their consideration, and, although thsy are favorable to the project, it seems to be a slow pro cess to accomplish anything. Something should bo done soon. A gentleman representing the San born Map it Publishing Co., was in Heppner this week, and it is certainly to be regretted that the next map of Heppner must come out with "Population 900; no steam and no hand engines; no indepen dent hose carts; water facilities, none." The California boom is past, as the principal emigration streams to the Northwest. The traflio on the Central and Southern overland routes is at presont slack, ns farm ers and laborers have been emi grating tho last six months to Washington and Oregon, and there is no sign of abatement of such migration, says tlte Shitilx Zcihuxj, and overy paper of the groat live Northwest will surely agreo with them. The boom that Oregon and Washington is now enjoying is not of the mushroom sort. It is a healthy and rapid growth, and it is not beyond what this great suc tion will sustain. This boom in Oregon and Washington must not be compared with the California excitonient of two or tlireo years K- Tim issue of $10,000,0(10 of "preferred" Oregon and Transcon tinental stock, to bo put in the hands of a tnisloa and voted as Villunl may direct, is for two pur poses, says a telegram to the Orr (joniiiii. One of them is to get an issue of stock to be voted in tho coming election in Oregon sullic ient to nssuro control in all con tingencies! to the Yillard party, tho other to pass the earnings of the O. K. it N. into the control of the preferred stockholders of Ilia Yil lard faction. I!ut tho opposition have met this action by applying for an injunction against the is sue of tho proposed stock, and a temporary order to that effect bus been granted. At any rate it means war between the regular O. 1!. A X. stockholders and the Villard l'ni'ly- Do not wait until to-morrow, when you feel sick, hut take immediately a dose ot Plunder's Oregon Uliaul l'uriller and prevent a serious uttack of sickness. It is tho best liver regulator and blood cleanser in exmlence. Try it. ''Heppner has no hoard of trade" is the only truthful answer that can be made to the inquiry of the outside world. We would suggest that the May or appoint a time and 'place ul meet ing or tho purpose of eternally settling this matter, so that it can be said ,,Hoppuer has a linn i d of trade." Population '.HHI: no steam and no hand engines; no independent hose oarts; water facilities none; says the Snnboru map of Heppner. What kind of a recommendation is this fur a lire town? This certainly ought to ho one incentive towards sjiesdy aoliou in the matter of water. 10. L. Matlock is in town this week, resting up from a three week's ride over Morrot? county's range. He has found nearly all his horses, 270 in number, in good contlitiou. Mr. Matlock has seeu much ot our county this spring and be lieves that range and crops could not bo in better condition, considering that we have hud so inueli dry weather for the past three seassus. Rye down at his F.lla r a noli is iu bloom and ready to cut for hay. Hurry up the artesinn well project. Live men should not allow that matter to sleep, sleep until it becomes dead ns the historic "door nail." I'.very time the town allows a worthy project to become a lifeless corse ou their hands, the more dillimilt it becomes to accom plish anything. Wake up to your own interests. TAIM)KIN(i.
