$100,000 FOB HJEPrXEK
A NNOUNCEMENT this week that
a Governor Meier had endorsed a
large public works program includ
ine $100,000 for a sewerage disposal
system in Heppner, came out of a
clear sky to the people of this city.
Application for the money did not
originate with the city council or
any local organization, but rrom an
interim commission functioning un
der Senate Joint Resolution 13
passed by the last legislature.
Laudibie in purpose, it was the
commission's function to coordin
ate a public work's program
throughout the state looking to the
betterment of health conditions.
Recognized first by the commission
was the necessity of an adequate
water supply; secondly, adequate
sewerage disposal for the various
municipalities of the state.
It appears the commission has
functioned well, though not wisely
insofar as Heppner is concerned.
While a municipal sewerage dispos
al system might not be amiss in
Heppner, such a system would be
impractical without a sufficient
supply of water to operate it, and
sad to say, though the city has a
good supply of water from its ar
tesian wells this supply has dimin
ished to an extent where it would
be inadequate for the purpose.
Leaving out the question at this
writing as to the plan of repayment
of the loan, and whether or not
Heppner would be wise in obligat
ing itself for such a large sum of
money for any purpose, a consid
eration of the local situation should
be had.
Homes of Heppner generally are
adequately supplied with sewerage
disposal. In the last few years con
tamination of Willow creek by open
sewers emptying into it has been
eliminated here. There have been
no epidemics of disease traceable
directly to faulty sewerage dispos
al. In fact, it appears the city can
get along nicely for some time to
come with its present facilities of
this nature.
The water supply, however, has
fallen off. It is questionable wheth
er a sufficient amount from the
present supply could be diverted to
operate a sewerage disposal sys
tem. Recently, residents of the
city were asked to refrain from ir
rigation for an evening that enough
water might be had to fill the
swimming tank.
Water rather than sewerage dis
posal is the need of Heppner. The
commission has given prime import
ance to an adequate water supply,
and the interests of Heppner would
be better served at this time by di
verting any money that might be
received to obtaining more water
rather than by constructing a sew
erage disposal system.
It is lamentable to see the flood
waters of Willow creek in the
spring go boiling down the valley
into the Columbia unchecked and
unbridled, their mostiure and their
power serving no good purpose,
aiding only the processes of ero
sion.
Possibly $100,000 would be suf
flcient to construct a dam at some
point on the upper reaches of the
creek to conserve these waters each
year, providing a controlled and
adequate supply for irrigation be
sides giving Heppner (Lexington
and lone, too, for that matter) an
abundant supply of good water.
Such a project would pay for it
self in increased crops and im
proved living conditions in our lit
tle valley from the benefits of the
moisture alone. And there remains
the possibility of developing elec
trical energy sufficient to supply its
needs as well.
HEPPNER NEEDS A BANK.
THE spontaneous invitation from
people of Heppner and surround
ing territory to the First National
bank of Portland to open a branch
bank here was no Idle gesture.
Thoroughly and sorely impressed
upon our people since the closing
of the local banks last October has
been the inconvenience of transact
ing business without banking facil
ities. There is no need to recite
here the resources which the trade
territory has to make a banking
business profitable. That the local
banks were among the last to suc
cumb in this district, and that both
local banks were still operating af
ter those of larger places had clos
ed their doors is evidence enough
that under normal conditions there
is plenty of business for one bank
Just now the hardship of getting
along without a bank is impressed
more as wheat checks, always in
fairly large amounts, come in. It
is Impossible for any single busi
ness to carry sufficient funds to
handle these and they must be sent
to the outside for clearing. Not
only do local firms lose consider
able business on this account, but
those who receive the checks are
put to great inconvenience, and the
circulation of money is considerably
stemmed.
The First National Bank of Port
land has evidenced an interest in
Oils field, and the people generally
welcome that interest and hope it
Will materialize in the early estab-
0 E PltPftfffi Tj'i?yOCrjlON y
lishment of a branch here.
The natural demand for a bank
at present would undoubtedly keep
the force busy from the start, and
the freer circulation of money that
would result from the convenience
of banking facilities would un
doubtedly make the situation more
favorable from the banker's view
point within a very short time.
WHY BEAT AROl'XD THE
BISH?
SO FAR the Portland press has
succeeded in stampeding the is
sue of development of the Colum
bia river for transportation, as
President Roosevelt says it should
be developed, by attempting to re
duce the issue to the selection of a
damsite on the lower river and by
a bip flare of publicity on the Bon
neville dam to the near exclusion
of all other projects. That is mere
political skullduggerey and bally
hoo. The Portland press knows that
the Bonneville dam is not needed
to aid transportation. Portland's
sole interest in the construction of
the Bonneville dam is the hope to
have $40,000,000 expended at its
doorway, and the desire for cheap
electrical energy that it may com
pete in the marts of the country
for the establishment of factories.
Portland's reason for wanting the
Bonneville dam is reasonable and
probably justifiable, but they should
not attempt to cover it under a
smoke screen. That the press of
that city is attemptng to do just
that is evidence enough that they
know the Bonneville dam hasn't a
ghost of a show of being construct
ed as an outright transportation
project in competition with other
proposed projects.
And Portland's view is short
sighted. The press of that city should take
time to investigate where the po
tential tonnage of commodities for
river transportation originates.
They would find that the bulk of it
is grown east of the Umatilla Rap
ids. the development of which pro

ject with very little additional work
woud make the river accessible to
it and navigable all the way to
Portland.
The bulk of this potential tonnage
is wheat wheat which now goes
into Portland under a railroad rate
differential to make that city the
largest wheat shipping point on the
Pacific coast.
Portland has succeeded in main
taining the rate differential over
Seattle in the past But SeKttle
has not lost hope. It is almost
certain that Portland's attitude on
the river development will drive the
more than 400,000 people residing in
the 20 counties to be benefitted by
the Umatilla Rapids development
into a sympathetic stand with Se
attle to do away with the rate dif
ferential and thus divert to the
Washington city a large bulk of the
wheat that now goes to Portland.
Should this occur it would take
many new factories for Portland to
make up for its loss.
If the river should be really de
veloped for transportation, it would
be absolutely impossible for Seattle
to ever compete with Portland as a
wheat exporting point. Besides, the
wheat industry of the Pacific
Northwest to say nothing of the
lumber and other industries would
be put on a transportation basis
that would enable them to compete
with these industries in more fa
vorably situated regions. This ad
vantage to the industries of tne Pa
cific northwest would be reflected
in increased buying power, a large
proportion of which would be di
rected into channels of trade thru
Portland to augment its prosperity.
Will Portland never learn that its
prosperity is dependent upon the
region which it drains, and that it
cannot forever djain that region
without some replacement if its
own prosperity is to be maintained?
Wake up, Portland. President
Roosevelt knows, and you should
realize that transportation is the
most important factor in develop
ment of the Columbia.

Here ia another business princi
ple, seemingly equally impractical:
Remember the words of the Lord
Jesus how he said, "It Is more
blessed to give than to receive."
We came perilously near to los
ing those words. They are not re
corded in any one of the four Gos
pels. Matthew, Mark, Luke and
John all forgot them. But Paul did

cial position and an assured career
for the service of the Galilean, he

themt he heard the words and re
membered. He understood.
Are they empty words? Do thev
bring destruction upon a business
which regards them seriously? Is
a man a fool to them let be a guid
ing influence in his life? I talked
one day with H. G. Wells after his
"Outline of History" had appeared.
I said:
"You have stood upon a mountain
and viewed the whole panorama of
human progress. You have seen
the captains and the kings, the
princes and the prophets, the scien
tists and the adventurers, the mil
lionaires and the dreamers that
have lived and loved and struggled
their little hour upon the earth. In
this vast army what heads rise
above the common level? Among
all those what half, dozen men de
serve to be called great?"
He turned the question over in
his mind for a day or two, and then
gave me a list of six names, with

his reasons for each. An extraor
dinary list!
Jesus of Nazareth, Buddha, Aso
ka, Aristotle, Roger Bacon, Abra
ham Lincoln.
Think of the thousands of em
perors who have battled for fame,
and fashioned their immortality in
to monuments of brick and stone.
Yet there is only one emperor, Aso
ka, on the list; and he is not there
because of his victories but because
he voluntarily abandoned war, after
his success, and devoted himself to
the betterment of his millions of
subjects. Think of the hosts who
have struggled for wealth, fretting
over figures, denying their gener
ous instincts, cheating and grasp
ing and warrying. Yet no million
aire is on the list, excepting again
Asoka.
The tumult and the shouting dies,
The captains and the kings de
part And when the historian, looking ov
er the field where they contended
for the prize, seeks for something
which has endured, he finds the
message of a teacher, the dream of
a scientist, the vision of a seer.
"These six men stood on the cor
ners of History," said Wells in his
picturesque way. "Events hinged
on them. The current of human
thought was freer' and clearer be
cause they had lived and worked.
They took little from the world and
left it much. They did not get;
they gave; and, in the giving, gain
ed eternal influence."
