MOTICE '
The best vrey to build up your own
tcwri is to do your trading at home.
Patronize your home merchants. If
they, succeed the chances are you will
succeed. When you send a dollar ,to
a mail order house vou have the goods
and they have the money. ' Trade at
home and we keep both the- goods and
the money.
The Heppner Times calls us jiown
on our recent article concerning the
proposed change of the Biggs local and
says:
"Probably, it has not occured to-the
Wheatfield editor that the Biggs train
could carry freight from the Junction
the same as the local train now does.
The only delay would be in switching
at the junction, but if there were a
a train each Way a day, and each do
its own switching, the delay would be
short and the passengers would not
have to wait half as long as they do
under the present schedule.".
Yes, Brother Hicks, we had thought
of that, but we carried our thoughts
a little farther than you seem to have
done and took a look at the proposition
from the other side and find it out of
reason and Impossible on several points,
among which are: ' ,
1st A uniformed crew, such as is
carried on the Biggs local, is not ex
pected to and will not do local freight
work. If crews were changed at the
Junction our service, wduld be the
same as at present.
2d There is, on an average, one
hours switching in the yards at Hepp
ner Junction, and thirty minutes at
lone. This a passenger crew would
not do.
3d The running time of a mixed
train from Heppner Junction to Hepp
ner is two hours and thirty-five mln--utes,
making five hours and ten min
"lites for the round trip, besides the
hour for switching, leaving only about
six hours for the round trip from the
Junction to Portland.
4th That from our point of view it
would be more profitable to the 0. R.
& N. Co. and of benefit to a greater
number of people to have the Biggs
local go to Pendleton where connec
tions could be made with trains from
Walla Walla. The train on this
branch could connect with this local
train at the Junction always Insuring
us close connections for Portland as
well as eastern points.
The Wheatfield Is not working In
the interests of the 0. R. & N. or any
other railway company, but Is working
' for what we consider the best Interests
of Morrow county and her people at
large. If the editor of the Times will
take the trouble to investigate existing
conditions on other branches that have
the service he asks for, he will find
the people dissatisfied with it and that
we are correct in our statement. We
have been informed that the Shaniko
branch has practcally the same service
Bro. Hicks asks for . and they get a
freight train once each week.
. With the Biggs local sent through
to Pendleton the increased business
mentioned by the Times cculi be se
cured for this branch and still give us
the freight service. No railway com
pany will ever ask or expect its uni
formed passenger crews to flo local
freight work.
One of the leading citizens of Hepp
ner . informed us recently that our
views on this subject were sound and
that Heppner as a whole did not want
the Biggs local as they realized that
the present service, aside from the
long wait for No. 1 on the main line,
which is usually late, is all that can be
expected. If that can be 'remedied
that is'all that cante expected.
A roll of bills stepped a bullet which
stuck a Chicago man in the breast,
thus saving his life. Yet there are
reckless people who will go ahead day
after day with eut a roll of bills on their
persons,

Number three is a wonderful mascot
for Geo.H.Parris, of Cedar Grove, Me.,
according to a letter which reads:
"After suffering mucn with liver and
kidney trouble, and becoming greatly
discouraged by the failure to find relief,
I tried Electric Bitters, and as a result
I am a well man to-day. The first bottle J
relieved and three bottles completed
the cure." Guaranteed best on earth
