Single Copies MORROW COUNTY'S OFFICIAL PAPER Foreign Advertising Representative THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION Grange Endorses Road. A T THE joint meeting of the Pomona Granges of Grant and Morrow counties, held Sun day evening at Parker's Mill, a resolution was unanimously adopt ed endorsing the proposed road leading from Long Creek through Hamilton and Monument to Hepp ner, this place being the nearest railroad point for the people of Northern Grant county. The res olution was taken up and discussed for a short time at the afternoon meeting and the sentiment of both Grant and Morrow county people, Grangers as well as others not members of the order, was found to be strongly in favor of a con certed move to put this road over. We gather from the statements made that Grant county is now ready to act on this road, and as the heavy end of construction lies within their borders the larger cost will be their portion of the burden to be borne, yet it was shown that it would not be many seasons before the people of that section are fully repaid for the out lay necessary in building a road of a permanent nature out this way. The important feature of this outlet to the railroad from North ern Grant is the distance saved in miles traveled over the present outlet to Condon. The people are not making any complaint of the treatment they now receive by go ing to Condon, and they have good truck service, but the distance is about 38 miles more and this means a lot of additional expense in the handling of both outgoing and incoming freight. Their wool, for instance, has to pay a delivery charge to Condon of about 75 cents per hundred; this can be materially reduced by com ing to Heppner when a good road is established to this point. Then, in the past few years there has been a lot of development in dairying in both the Monument and Long Creek sections, and this is growing all the while. The shipping of butterfat from that quarter gives promise of becoming a large item, to say nothing of the other produce that should find an easier way to market than is af forded at present. The discussion of the proposition brings to mind a gr;at many different items of progress that will be developed by giving those people a more direct connection with the railroad, and we are gratified to know that they are getting really in earnest about this road leading direct to Hepp ner. We hope to see the buriness men of Heppner get organized to Songs of Piain Folks James 7he Storm Uneasy trees night lightning's lance, half-hid, Playing in swelling thunder-clouds that reach The sky-line's length like breakers on a beach; And then the shock!

Edwin Du Bose Mouzon, Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church outh, speaking recently in St. Paul, de plored the division of north and south in his denomination. He said: "It looks as if we Methodists might come to the Kingdom at such a time as this if we might fling our differ ences away and move like a mighty army. It is now probable that the Methodist Church South will not have the necessary majority to carry out the unification plan at this time. This adverse vote means, not a failure, but simply a delay in getting together." The Methodist church was split into divisions of north and south by the issue of slavery. That issue is now dead. But the division continues by the force of momentum. As far as that is concerned, almost all the difierences in de nominations at present are over dead issues, questions which were once very much alive, but which have now passed out of general interest. Nobody knows or cares much now about the subjects which f "iparated the Methodist from the Episcopal Church, the Baptist tom the Presbyterian, or which otherwise were the original issues upon which denominations were founded. The fences which divide religious people are almost all made of dead timber. If anyone were to go into a Presbyterian, a Methodist, or a Congregational church at present he could not tell in which con venticle he was worshipping. Almost all preachers emphasize the same doctrines and stress the same morals. There is no considerable difference in the actual gospel preached in one de nomination from that preached in another. Denominations continue largely for other reasons than doc trinal. It is mostly a matter of machinery. It is much easier to start a sect than it is to stop it. Our only hope is that as time goes on sectarianism will pass and there will be brought about some kind of workable unity among all the denominations, for they are all striving for the same goal in very much the same way. All the denominations amount to anyhow is that a man who joins one is in Section B, Pigeonhole A, or Regiment Five and Company Three. Just why one should be in one company rather than in another it is pretty difficult for the average modern man to say. help put this over. By a uni'c.l ef fort it will be done, and it will not take many seasons to have the road completed on state standards, which means all-year-around ser vice between Heppner and the productive sections of Northern Grant county. Washington Made One July 4th Speech. PROBABLY few people know that George .Washington made one Fourth of July speech and only one. There is an interesting story by Henry Olney about this speech in the current issue of the National Republic magazine. The original copy of the address de livered at Lancaster, Pa., is now in the Library of Congress at Washington. Concerning this 4th of July address by the Father of the Country Mr. Olney says in part: "The diaries of George Wash ington contain only one reference to the making of a Fourth of July address. Ths ientry was made on July 4, 1791, and reads as fol lows " 'Monday, 4th. This being the Anniversary of American Inde pendence and being kindly re quested to do it, I agreed to halt here this day and partake of the entertainment which was prepar ing for the celebration of it. In forenoon I walked about the town at half past two o'clock I re ceived and answered an address from the Corporation and the com pliments of the clergy of different denominations dined between James Jhvis Haus What unbound delight a storm-torn night! three and four o'clock drank tea with Mrs. Hand.' "It is the quaint but flourishing city of Lancaster, Pa., that has the distinction of being the only town in this Republic where Washing ton delivered a Fourth of July speech. Lancaster, at that time, was the largest inland town in this country. It was widely known for the beautiful and fertile farms that surrounded it in all directions, and also by the fact that the Con tinental Congress had met there for a day when obliged to leave Philadelphia when pressed too closely by the invading British. Never before nor since has Lan caster had a Fourth of July cele bration that compared with the one in which the hero ot the Kevo- lution and the then President of the country, was the guest of hon or. The news that the 'Father of His Country' would appear in per son and talk to the people, spread rapidly throughout the village and up and down the roads in every direction for many miles. All night long on the third of July the citizens' committee was busily en gaged in making preparations for the entertainment of the great man and the reception of the thousands of people from far and near who wanted to see the face and hear the voice of the world famed patriot who had been so largely responsible for winning their freedom from the tyrannical king across the ocean. At the break of dawn the people from the outlying districts began arriv ing on horseback. Others came in dignified and stately looking carriages drawn by four horses. Those and there were hundreds of them who had neither horses nor carriages, gladly walked the long miles over rough roads to meet the most beloved man in all the land." Railroads in Bus Business. Portland' Telegram. E' NTRANCE of the Union Pa cific into the motor bus field marks a new step in local trans portation service. Commodious cars will run between Portland and Pendleton on a convenient schedule, connecting with the mo tor line already operated by the Union Pacific between Pendleton and Walla Walla. There is every reason that the railroad companies should wel come and adopt the motor bus as an auxiliary to their through lines, rather than distrust and fight it as a competitor. The real purpose of a railroad is to supply transporta tion and it need not necessarily be over railed roads. Many elements enter into the transportation business beside the mere supplying of a vehicle, and in all these the great railway sys tems are experienced and expert. They have capital to inaugurate and trained agents to operate transportation over any highway. It is altogether possible that be fore long the railroads may run their "Lightning Express" trains through the air and add airports to their terminals. We may buy one of those mul- tiple folding things that they sell by the yard and call a round trip ticket and find in it sections for travel by airplane, by motor coach, by Pullman car and by ocean steamship, all supplied by the one ine. OREGON Grange is being cred ited with advocating patron age of home town merchants. It should be encouraged in agitating this sentiment. Only in propor tion as merchants are justified in occupying premises and maintain ing stocks of goods are taxable values built up to help carry the burden of roads, schools and local government. To say nothing of the convenience it means to the farmer to have a nearby stock of goods from which to make emer gency purchases, it helps a lot to have a purchaser for eggs and produce. The small town ftore is a real asset to the farming popula tion. Formerly the Grange was accused of favoring the mail order house, on the theory that having so many small stores scattered around meant just so many more middlemen for the farmer to feed The mail order house is able to take care of itself without farmer preference. Unless the country store is valued by the farmer at its true worth it will drop out of ex istence both as a neighborhood convenience, a market and a tax able asset. Oregon Voter. npHE recent special election X failed, evidently, to create in terest of the electorate of Morrow county, and there was only 18 per cent ofthe registered vote cast, or thereabouts. The total vote was 484, and the expense of holding the election would make the cost to Morrow county for each indiv idual ballot voted right around $1.30. It is lamentable that there should be such a lack of interest on the part of the voting popula tion of the county when questions of so much importance are up for their decision. We used to com plain bitterly of the old system of politics, and perhaps rightly so, but since the people have the right to say, under the Oregon system, what shall and what shall not be, interest seems to lag, and the hab it of passing up the election, whether general or special, seems to be growing. Wise ones are predicting that no democracy can long exist when such a condition becomes the habit of the elector ate. TVTEWSPAPER advertisine af- fords the avenue that returns the largest business to the mer chant. Based on experience of many years this statement is made by D. F. Kelly, president of The Fair, famous Chicago department store. "Without appearing to hold a brief for the newspapers," he states, "I am of the definite opin ion that, dollar for dollar, our re turn from newspaper advertising is much greater than from any other form of advertising. We would advise manufacturers to link up their advertsiing with the advertising of local dealers. They will'thus inform the public where their product may be had and should produce the best results.
