NOW that the completion of the Lena-Vinson gap in the Oregon-Washington highway is assured, the opportunity for the. expansion of our trade territory will be measurably increased. However, much will depend on the wide-awake activities of our business men to hold the trade we now have, and gather in additional patronage for the business insti tutions of the city. Heppner is ideally situated from many an gles when the road program is completed and we should not sur render any of these advantages to other points. That we will have warm competition to meet is in dicated by the propaganda being spread through the columns of the Pendleton East Oregonian, and in a recent issue there ap peared a good editorial from their point of view, under the heading, Expanding the Trade Zone, which we herewith reproduce for the purpose of stimulating, as much as possible, the interest of our own merchants and business houses to renewed activity. They no doubt fully realize that Pen dleton is well within her rights to reach out for all the trade that she can draw her way by virtue of the completion of these highways leading to that city, and they will offer inducements that must be offset by the business interests of Heppner. Our little city is just as favorably situated as Pendle ton, we can show them just as good stores as far as they go, and the larger place can not put it over on us along any line of gen eral trade. Furthermore, there is no good reason why prices here should not be just as attractive as at the Umatilla county city. In talking with a merchant here the other day, who recently had occasion to look up prices at Pen dleton, we were informed that on most any article in his line Hepp ner prices were under those of the former city. It is not going to be a matter of money saving that will draw our folks from Hepp. ner to other points to trade, but it will resolve itself down to the question of going right out after the trade and bringing it here. Here is what the East Oregon ian says: In considering Pendleton and its future, much importance may be placed upon the completion of the Oregon-Washington highway between this place and Heppner for which contracts have been let. That bit of work, though it covers but short distance, will link the two countiej in a manner never before possible. The results will be mutually bene ficial and they will be farreachine. From a Pendleton standpoint there will be a real expansion of our trade tone. There are 5617 people in Mor row county and they have assessed wealth of 113,000,000. Morrow coun ty is a producer of wheat and also raises 3,500,000 pounds of wool a sear. That county is nearly as large as Umatilla in area. It was originally part of Umatilla county and was cut on in 1BS5 and named in honor of J. L. Morrow, a pioneer resident. Heppner, the county seat and larg est town in Morrow county, had a population of 1324 when the 1910 census was taken. Other important towns include Lexington and lone, but they art smaller than Heppner. Pendleton is Hcppner's largest near by point and has long derived much business from that region. This bus iness, however, has been retarded by men or good highways. With the completion of the Vinson-Lena gap there will be an improved road lead ing up Willow creek from Heppner Junction to Heppner and on to Pen dleton via. Vinson and Pilot Rock. The trip from Heppner to Pendleton will be made in two hours' time or less. It is freely predicted that trade relations will be greatly improved because of the work now under way and that prediction will be fulfilled. Grant county also will be brought nearby when we get our new grade down to .he north fork of the John Day river. As in the case of Morrow county, Pendleton is the largest neighboring town for Grant county people, mere has always been con siderable business between the tws counties but it has been hampered by bad roads. To close these highway gaps will help everyone and injure no one. The business we will get will b business that cannot be han dled there and now goon to mail or der houses. On the other hand our neighbor counties will profit much by increased tourist business and from the development that always follows good roads. We have much that those people want and need, in cluding professional service, banking, the product! of our mills, a labor supply and mercantile stocks not car ried in small places. Life in the in terior will be more attractive when people residing there may easily reach a neighboring metropolis over a good highway. The curse of iso lation will be gone. The growth of Pendleton between 1910 and 1920 was chiefly due to high way work and increased use of the auto plus local improvements, in eluding our mountain water supply and school enlargements. Highways and the auto eliminate distances. Fifty or 100 miles is not as far now as 10 miles in the days when we had bad roads and moved by hack or wagon. Pendleton has most to gain by expanding its gone to the south and west because in those directions there are no other towns of similar size and equipped to render the ser vice we can render. A more optimistic attitude is pervading the county with the ad vent of considerable moisture this week. Grain on the hills is in the right shape at present to benefit by it materially. The look up in the wheat market is also bringing a smile to many Morrow county faces. People Want Business. MANUFACTURER. THERE is one western state that is crying out almost un animously for the injection of business methods in its state ad ministration Oregon. A Portland paper is showing up constantly how good business management of public lands has netted the state of Washington an enormous school and highway fund, while in Oregon public lands were frittered away under political management. The Portland paper is showing that the small school fund Ore gon has saved is dwindling away on account of bad loans and a gen- NOTICE OF SCHOOL MEETING NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN to the legal voters of School Dis trict No. One of Morrow County, State of Oregon, that a SCHOOL MEETING of said district will be held at the Council Chambers in Heppner, Oregon, on the 28th day of November, 1925, at 2:30 o'clock in the afternoon for the purpose of discussing the budget hereinafter set out with the levying board, and to vote on the propo sition of levying a special district tax.

It would seem to be no more than a fair and just demand on the part of the people that state affairs be given a business admin istration as good as the ordinary bank or public service corporation secures. The people have got to rise above petty politics and demand a state administration on business lines. Will the Portland newspa pers help the people of Oregon secure such an administration? Business men of Heppner be came better acquainted with the succeeding generation last eve ning at a luncheon which they tendered the High school football team. It also pleased the boys to receive this recognition, and they no doubt will try harder than ever in the future. They have had a very successful football season. Western newspapers say that automobile tramps are bothering other tourists by stopping them and begging for a gallon of gaso line. If we are getting so pros perous that the hoboes are run ning around in motor cars, no wonder that Europe is so envious. "Hold That Line, Jimmy," pre sented by the senior class of the high school Monday night, proved a delightful entertainment for those who attended. It also brought out some promising dra matic talent. This class of enter tainment is mighty worth while. NOTICE OF SALE OF ANIMALS.
