Just A Good Country, That's All
Thb to busy time of the year in this section,
vfcat vith harvesting one of the best wheat crops
Is year, and trucks are hurrying from grain fields
e elevators to keep up with the combines. But
fraia ia not all that is being borne over the high
ways, for this is not a one-crop region.
Wednesday morning as ye scribe was wend
iof his vay to the courthouse, hs progress was
baited by a procession of trucks coming in on
th highway from the south. Out of curiosity he
first four trucks contained stock, lumber, wheat
topped to see what the line of traffic held. The
and logs in that order. Had it been possible to
remain at the spot for an hour or so and check
oa the traffic the story would have been repeat
ed several times, for while cattle do not move to
market every day, there was a move on that day.
Lumber is rolling steadily from the mountain
mflls, and logs coming to the Heppner Lumber
aotnpany keep a fleet of big trucks on the move.
That is the picture seen here in town as men and
machines move the products of forest and hills
to the rail head. Below town, men are busy load
ing wheat and lumber into cars (when they can
get them) and the modern plant of the Hepp
er Lumber company is converting the logs into
lumber for the use of mankind.
It is a busy scene and one that emoves the
question of what makes Heppner a good little
town. It also provides the reason for the housing
shortage.
Rotes Must Go Up ,
Since the time of World War I, advertising
rates and printing prices have been held to a
modest level by the Heppner Gazette Times.
Rates charged f.-ty were in effect during the
strenuous '30'! and were not out of line with
production cos.s of that period.
In 1946 the picture has changed. Everything
entering into the printing and publishing busi
ness which the local publisher or printer has to
buy has raised, sharply in some instances, mod
estly in others, but in all making the cost of pro
duction far out of line with advertising rates arid
printing prices charged by your local newspaper
establishment.
Ths newspaper has hesitated to rais rates,
hoping that prices in general would be scaled
down. It now seems that there is little likelihood
that materials and equipment prices will be lo
wer or even stay as low as they are. The law of
supply and demand will take care of that for
several years to come.
Printing equipment requires replacement oc
casionally and this newspaper needs a few mod
era pieces to make the plant more efficient, but
we can't buy modern machinery on a horse-and-buggy-days
income. Neither can we pay present
day wages on the same type of income.
We feel that our patrons will understand the
situation and agree with us when we say that in
order to keep pace with the growth of the town,
the constant upswing of prices connected with
this industry, and the steadily mounting cost of
living, we will have to increase advertising and
printing rates. This is not a step taken on the
spur of the moment. It is taken only after strug
gling against odds that we realize we cannot ov
ercome otherwise.
Beginning September 1, the local advertising
rate will be advanced to 35 cents a column inch.
This is in line with rates charged by most coun
try weeklies, many of which have less coverage
than the Gazette Times.
