A Costly Joke.


About one year ago, Henry Heppher
and j. w. Morrow met in place Of bus-
mess In Heppner one evening. These
two gentlemen are perhaps more fami-
iarly known as "Hepp" and "Billy"
Morrow. Hepp is the wealthiest man
in Morrow county and is, besides own
ing lots Of real estate and business prop
erty, wool warehouse man.
Billy Is democratic county cle.k Of
Morrow, who is now In Office for the
fourth time, and his republican friends
say he can probably remain there until
palsied By old age. Billy is alsoan own
er OF several thousand sheep, his clip
amounting to about 5000 pounds.
Last year, so the story goes, these two
met In "store" (of course the kind
where drinks and cigars are sold). They
talked on the outlook Of the sheep and
wool industry and In an off-hand, absent
minded manner, while leaning against
the counter" Hepp offered Billy 8
cents for his 1895 clip. Billy Thought
that was good sell, and Hepp was sure
1t would be good buy, for he looked
for wool 10 90 skyward this season.
Billy picked up the dollar Hepp had
laid down on the counter in payment
for the "bracer" and said TO Hepp he
would take the dollar as first payment
on the contract for the wool at nine
cents, and Hepp said that was all right.
So the thing rested for several months,
until the '96 clip was ready for market,
when Billy reminded Hepp Of the 9-ccnt
contract. Hepp demurred. Billy over
ruled the demurrer. Hepp said he was
only joking at the time. Billy said he
wasn't, and the outcome Of the whole
matter was that Billy, with threat Of
lawsuit and added costs, forced Hepp to
pay the 8 cents, which meant about
1900 Hepp paid more than the market
price.
People over in Heppner say that now
adays Hepp clutches a dollar rather
tightly and guards his statements jeal-
ously, and as for joking, he's quit. One
$1,000 joke has cured him Of joking.

Coyote Bounty Reduced to 81,

The Sheepmen's Protective Union met
at Condor last Saturday. The attend
ance, though rather small for the i'm
poriance Of the occasion, was very en-
thusiastic.
The report furnished by the various
members Of the sheep industry present
was unanimous In favor OF the bounty
system. In consequence OF the depres-
sion felt during the last three years 1t
was deemed advisable to reduce the
bounty for the present from 80 to 81 per
scalp, the change to take effect at once.
A matter OF great interest TO all sheep
men relative to united effort to petit
tion the passage Of an aid Bill" at the
next session Of our Legislature to estab-
lish a uniform assessment OF not to ex-
ceed halfa cent per head OF all the sheep
in the state, assessahle and collectable
as In ordinary taxation was acted upon
also.
Another matter OF even more vital i'm
portance was the circulation Of petit
ton relative to the opening OF the Cas-
cade Reserve for grazing purposes. Sc
important were these matters deemed
that IL was resolved that Hona w. w
Steiwer Of Fossil he requested to pro
ceed to Salem during the session Of tht
legislature and in conjunction with del
egates from other counties endeavor t
urge instant action and further the pas
cage Of the necessary legislation,

CLIMATE AND COMPLEXION.
Does the Color of the Skin Depend Up
meteorological Conditions?

Does the Color of the Skin Depend Upon
Meteorological Conditions?
The Egyptian has remained white
Notwithstanding constant mixture
with the black Nubians The people
who live in the dry section Of the Nu-
bian desert have red skin. Other races
that are brown or that vary from a
white to channels color also live in dry
country. The Abyssinians, however, in
whose country the plateaus are we'll ir-
rigated, are blacker. Tho blacklist ne
groes in Africa are those who live in
Guinea, where the greatest amount Of
rain falls. In Asia, says the writer, it
is the same as in India. There is close
relation between the fall of rain and the
color Of the people. The more moist the
climate is, the darker the skin of the
natives AS one goes up the Gauges the
climate becomes drier and the skin OF
the natives whittier. The Bengalese are
black, but the Sikhs and the Rajpoots
are Of dead white color.
In America it is the same. The Bra
zilians are generally darker than the in
habitants of the Andes The Portuguese,
who come from a rainy country, settled
in Brazil, while the Spaniards inhabit
the Andes and the dry La Plata section.
Spain is very dry as compared with
Portugal, and the Portuguese in Europe
have the darkest skins Of all Europeans.
Heat, light and humidity, says the
writer, are, then, all causes Of pigmen-
tation. In dealing with these three
causes the question Of pigmentation Of
the skin is alone, and their relative in
fiuence, he says, is a very complicated
one. For instance, persons inhabiting
a mountainous district where the eli
mate is cooler, have lighter skin than
those who live on the plains, although
it has been seen that the Abyssinians
are an exception to the rule. The ma
tive Of Abyssinia is darker ON the pla-
teaus and lighter on the plains.
In Peru the inhabitants on the coast
have lighter skin than those on the
mountains. D'Orbigny observed that in
America in the impenetrable forests the
savages were lighter; the darkness evil
IDENTIFY prevented augmentation. What,
asks the writer, causes the difference be-
tween the negro laborer exposed to the
sun and the Brazilian savage who lives
in the forest? The latter is more or less
chocolate colored, but not black. Are
these facts, he asks, sufficient to prove
absolutely Buttons assertion that the
color Of the skin depends on the climatei
Evidently not. If they were, we should
see the descendants of white person
become black, and vice versa. The accli-
mated white man does not work in the
sun, and he preserves his white skin as
a Brahman does Furthermore, itwould
require many generations to accomplish
the change.-New York Medical Jour
