The report that the First National
Bank Of Heppner had suspended is en-
tirely without foundation. County Clerk

always I've found Mt the bank counter
with plenty OF cash to pay everybody.
The election is over, aud wha: bless
eel relief II is 10 everybody. They will
all have chance to quit talking nov
and go to work again. These presiden-
tial elections should not come oftener
than every eight or ten years, rs the
country never has time TO recover from
the terrible effects OF national cam
paign until it is plunged into another.
Abont the worst-disnppointed crowd
we have seen for some time, excepting
the Bryan voters, was the crowd that
gathered ut the postofiice Yesterday to
learn the election news from the Portland
papers, and found that not bit OF mail
came from the west, owing TO u freight
train wreck near The Dalles, which de.
layed the mail. All the election news
yet received was dispatches sent out
from Arlington.
