MORROW COUNTY'S OFFICIAL PAPER

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

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! Winds roar, the heavens bid
All earth to drink, the silver rivers form
Around our shaken house and race away,
While we who plowed the thirsty fields today
Enjoy the flashing tumult of the storm.
Drenched trees sway low and leafy twigs are hurled,
Glittering ghosts, above the gleaming ground
On which the countless raindrops, in rebound,
What life! What splendor!
Gigantic winds with thunder voices rage

DtFrank Crane Saysl
DON'T HOLD WAKE FOR DEAD ISSUES
THE Rev. 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-

link up their advertsiing with the
advertising of local dealers. They
will'thus inform the public where
their product may be had and
