One of the more important
building enterprises in Hepp

garage constructed by ). G. Bar

increase in the per hour produc
tion of the wageworkers.
31. Some object to the large
profits that their employers are
getting today compared with the
1930's. It, however, should be
remembered that during these
depression years most employers
had no proiits whatsoever. We
forecast that profits will continue
to be regulated automatically by
the law of supply and demand,
rather than by the government.
32. At some time during 1949
we forecast that the point will
be reached where the nation's in
flated money supply will have
become fully employed. Hence,
emphasis may shift from efforts
to stop inflation to efforts to halt
deflation.
STOCK MARKET
33. 1949 may not be a better
year stock market wise than 194S
Investors will especially get out
of stocks of companies which
have most of their assets in big.
"vulnerable in case o war" cit
ies, reinvesting in companies ;
whose assets are well distributed I

count of the consequent effect

county. Of modern design iie
building accommodates a re
pair shop, service department
stock room and ample show
room. Mr. Barratt contemplates oth
er improvements on the prop
ity speculation will continue to
be curbed.
35. The wisest will not try to
pick any special "winners" in
1949; but will diversify broadly.
Those who have too many stocks
will gradually build up good re
serves, in cash or Governments,
for the big break which will come
some day. Careful buyers of
stocks will insist on making full
payment and avoid borrowing
Juring 1949.
36. Safe dividend paying stocks
will be in greatest demand, es
pecially if double taxation on
dividends should be eliminated.
BONDS
37. We are definitely bearish
on lowcoupon-rate, long-term
taxable bonds as money rates
will gradually increase.
33. If Congress should exempt
dividends from double federal
taxation, 1949 will see a further
falling off in the prices of cer
tain tax-exempt bonds.
39. We forecast no change in
the nation's monetary policy re
lating to credit control and in
terest rates during 1949.
40. Investors will give much
more attention to diversification
in 1949 and will try to have their
bond maturities either fairly
short or staggered.

erty acquired during the year,
but constructed the new build
ing as a complete unit so that
business would not be handi
capped pending better building
conditions.
REAL ESTATE
41. City real estate will contin
ue to hold firm through 1949, due
to less available rental space
caused by pulling down struc
tures to save taxes, provide park
ing spaces, etc. There also is a
disinclination to build new city
property in view of the present
high costs.
42. Suburban real estate will
continue in fair demand during
1949 although there will be some
shading of prices.
43. Big commercial farm acre
age will sell for less during 1949;
but subsistence farms, located
close to established communities,
will hold up in price.
44. General building will in
crease during 1949 although the
cost of building may decline a
little. The quality of workman
ship will improve.
45. Both office and residential
rents will be higher in 1949. Only
as property owners are granted
higher rentals, will there be en
ough houses to rent.
46. Mortgage interest rates dur
ing 1949 will continue about the
same as in 1948. Any changes
will be toward increases.
POLITICS
47. The Administration will en
courage legitimate new enter
prises and full employment, con
tinuing its loyalty to labor and
the farmers.
48. Vacancies in the various
commissions and government
corporations organized since 1932
and which have great powers will
be filled by men acquainted with
legitimate business but friendly
to Mr. Truman.
49. Congress will take our for
eign policy out of the hands of
the State Department and the
Brass Hats.
50. The Administration will be
fair both to labor and manage
ment or lose the Congressional
elections of 1950 by bringing on
depression.

RANDOM THOUGHTS . . .
Continued from Page 1
him, and when the presswork
was started it was the OB's job
to s;and by and slipsheet for the
pressman, for the souvenir edi
tion was a small booklet of 30
pages enclosed in a beautiful red
cover and offset was something
not to be tolerated.
Monday afternoon, Mrs. Lester
Doolittle dropped into the office
and left a copy of that souvenir
edition. A perusal of its pages has
brought back many memories
too niiiny of them to be recorded
here, and besides, that ws al
most 48 years ago and details are
hard to remember that long. For
tunately, we have a picture of the
town at that time the very one
used in the special edition and
it will be found elsewhere in this
issue. (Since airplanes were not
in vogue at that time, It was not
possible to get a picture compar
able to the one which adorns this
page, the product of Jack For
sythe and his army intelligence
service camera, but it depicts the
thriving little wool capital as It
was a year or so before the big
flood struck on June 14. 1903.)
Heppner has been referred to
as the wool capital and a few
excerpts from the foreword in the
little booklet wilf bear out that
claim, as well as show that the
publishers had a proper concep
tion of what would transpire here
and elsewhere in the region when
certain things then contemplated
came to pass. Quote:
"As to the prosperity of the
citizens, the reader can draw his
own conclusions from the follow
ing facts:
"From Heppner, the county
seat and terminal point of the
Heppner branch of the Oregon
Railroad & Navigation Company,
there were shipped over 5,000.000
pounds of wool that was sold for
an average of over 9 cents per
pound during the year 1901. This
wool was not all grown in Mor
row, a portion of it coming from
adjoining counties, Heppner be
ing the nearest railroad point.
Morrow produced over 2,350,000
pounds of wool for the year 190L
"The wheat crop amounted to
over 700,000 bushels.
"Stock shipments from Heppner
to eastern markets for the year
were as follows: Sheep, 59,000;
cattle, 1,800; horses and mules,
2,100. .
'The First National Bank Jf
Heppner carried deposits of over
$500,000.
"The Gazette believes that the
entire Inland Empire has a bright
future. It is a vast territory, rich
In resources awaiting develop
ment. Now is a good time to get
land while it is cheap.
'The Lewis & Clark centennial
in Portland in 1905 will bring
many people to the Pacific coast.
"The opening of the Upper Col
umbia river woiild give the In
land Empire an outlet to the sea.
When this comes, the country
will be rapidiy developed."
It took the better part of half
a century and two world wars
to say nothing of a depression
to begin to realize this prophetic
vision, but it can't be said that
we are not on our way now.
Of the many greeting cards
and there was something like a
bushel basketful received dur
ing the holiday season, one of
the most novel was that coming
from Mr. and Mrs. Louis Lyons
of the Heppner Photo Studio. The
intrepid cameraman took advan
tage of the combination of snow
and Christmas lights on Main
street and caught a beautiful
winter scene which was printed
on to good offset paper and made
into a nice greeting card. From
central Oregon came a greeting
card from the family of Mr. and
Mrs. C. M .Kennedy, who, with
their daughter Norma Dell had
their pictures taken with three
young colts. The Kennedys oper
ate a huge stock ranch on lower
Hay creek about 15 miles north
east of Madras a spot where
old time western hospitality still
prevails.
Mr. and Mrs. Orville Smith and
son Jimmy left Tuesday for Port
land where they will take the
Journal special train for Dallas,
Tex., to witness the Oregon-Southern
Methodist New Year's day
tilt in the Cotton Bowl.
Farm people total one-fifth of
the U. S. population but have a
third of the nation's children.
