Heppner Must Be Awake.
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-

eral demand is growing up in Ore
gon for more business and less
politics in public affairs.
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.
