Put to Scientific Test.

From Chambers Journal.
There is a widespread notion, chiefly due
perhaps to the pages of romance. that man
In primitive state is possessed of far finer
senses than his more civilized brother; that
his practiced eye will detect moving OBJ
ject on the distant prairie which would be
quite invisible to a European, and his ear
would at the same time give him warning
which would be quite inaudible to his edu-
Gated brother. The superiority of savage
man in these respects was put to the test
during the Cambridge anthropOlogical expe-
diton to Torres strait in 1899, the second
volume of the reports Of which has recently
been published
This is the first time that any attempt
has been made to test the senses of saw
ages by skilled observers and modern in
struments. Most of the observations re-
ferred to were carried out by DR.. Rivers
and Messrs. Myers and McDougall on Muir
ray Island, and the natives seem to have
heartily co-operated with the experimenters
when they learned that the trials were de-
signed to show how superior they were to
white men in seeing and hearing. The re-
suit of four months careful tests was the
deduction that the visual acuteness Of the
natives was only slightly superior to that
of the average European.

Our Wheat in Europe,

According to Deputy Consul General
Hanauer at Frankfort in a report to the
State Department European purchasers of
wheat and corn received from southern
parts of the United States seriously COM
plain about the bad condition of the grain
when it reaches them. They claim that
nearly half of all the maize coming to
them from the United States is defective,
and they have discussed among themselves
the advisability of discarding the certifi-
Gates issued by the United States inspect
ors Heretofore it has been the custom
of the trade to accept these certificates
as proof of the sound condition Of the
grain, and in former years the consign-
ments tailed with the inspectors docu-
mentary evidence. Under the present usage
the recipients Of the grain. though the
goods be found damaged arrival, have
no remedy at law recovery for loss sus-
tanned as the inspectors certification pro-
tects the shipper.

Smallest State in Europe.
Fum the Philadelphia Public Ledger.

Fnum the Phladelpnla iuolc LeuSer
Few people are aware that the smallest
state in Europe has just ceased to exist
The minute country in question was neither
Monaco nor San Marino. nor Andorra. nor
yet Leichtenstein. but Moresnet-a small
scrap of territory between Belgium and
Prussia not far from Aix-la-Chapelle. The
independence of Moresnet dates from 1875
and it was only few days ago that the
two neighboring states at last arrived at an
agreement for its absorption.
Moresnet has now been annexed by Bel
gium while Prussia receives a pecuniary
Indemnity. The amount of the latter should
be large, for neutral Moresnet contained
the most valuable deposits of zinc In the
world. The decision was hastened by the
establishment of a gambling hell there,
which was stopped by the Belgium govern
ment on the I'd of the present month.
The inhabitants. who paid no taxes and
were free from military service, will be the
losers by their compulsory incorporation
In the Belgian kingdom. But as there are
only LOO of them they could not resist the
act of annexation. Had they. like San Ma
rino. declined the dangerous gift of
casino they might have remained neutral
and obscure.

Magnifying Social Evils.
From the Philadelphia Record.


There seems to be a tendency to exag-
gerate the extent and influence of certain
social evils which grow out of the defects
in human nature. This is especially ap-
parent in the matter of divorce. 1t was en-
tirely from a reading of American ad-
dresses that Jules Simon got his ideas Of
that there is no longer any family life in
America; that all our people live in great
hotels, wives and husbands all bent on di-
vorce; that divorced couples meet each
other in society without embarrassment
and children have only vague ideas as to
their parentage, and he warns France to
beware of the destructive influence of
Americans. Gross as Is his error, it is in
evitab BILE from the deliberate expressions of
prominent ministers and others in our own
land.
Doubtless the practicabilty of divorce
does, in some instances. prevent unhappy
of bad situation; but it is probable that
most of the people who now go through the
divorce courts would separate If there
should be no easy legal divorce, and that
many of those who now marry subsequent
to divorce would form Illicit relations. How
ever that may be, 1t Is true that there is
great exaggeration in the positive state
ments of reformers. Divorce is rare among
people who are not Indifferent to public
opinion and these are the only people who
are worthy of respect. The men and wO-
could not name one divorced person In ev-
cry one hundred Of their acquaintances. The
great body of the American people frown
on easy divorceeAnd shun persons who ap-
ply for the legal rupture of their marital
relations without just cause.

Healthful paily Task.
from the Century Magazine.


No one who comes in contact with affairs
can fall to notice. however. as a sort OF
corollary to the Senervation which comes to
men of wealth through luxury, an increas-
ing laxity of viGW fanSSng workingmen con-
cerning labor, tendency to regard the
daily task as something greatly to be re-
GREETED and hastily to be escaped from In
some minds andair of sentimentalism per-
yades the whole labor problem, as though
the millenniumctonlyba waited upon laige
wages and shortsEhnurs. The old-time love
for ones work and the old-time pride IN 1t
as ones best reason for existence have yet
to find any widespread and active propa-
ganda in the conventions of labor So far
as we have observed. no labor leader has
taken upon himself the conservative office
of preaching to his followers the virtue OF
good work we'll done, not only as duty to
the employer, but as service and inspira-
ton to the workingman himself. The the
ores even of those who lead most wisely
aim at the elevation of the individual
through the class, rather than the reverse.
The general trend of the workingman seems
to be away from hard work and good work.
1t is time that there was less preaching Of
rights and more OF duties. Perhaps 1t would
be easier to get the rights by little more
conscientious devotion to the duties.
AS a matter Of fact, and not of theory. no
man can do WORSE service to- another,
whether rich or poor. than to deprive him
of the absolutely healthful JOY which there
Is in hard work. Woe to him who does not
like his daily work. for IL one cannot have
the work he likes, he would better learn to
like the work he has.

English Plurals.

Brander Matthews In Harpers.
Is cherub an English word? If SO. its
plural is cherubs. and not the Hebrew cher

lexica and criteria. Is appendix an English
word and index and vortex? If so, the
plurals are appendices and indexes and
vortexes Is memorandum an English word.
and curriculum, gymnasium, medium and

Crisis is thoroughly acclimated in the
English language. and so Is thesis. and yet
there are those who prefer crises and theses
to the normal and regular crisises and

the unpleasant kissing Of the English plu-

pedantry.

Miraculous Vault.
From the London Tattler.

The most interesting place of pilgrimage
in Dublin is ST. Nichan's Church. where
the organ is still to be seen upon which
Handel is said to have composed his Mes
siah" In the graveyard Is the last resting
place of Robert Emmet. and the vault OF
St Michan's provides a more grewsome
thrill than the morgue. The sexton lifts an
iron door and descends few rude steps
carrying light, without which the place
would be pitch dark. You follow and flnd
yourself in narrow passage, from which
cell-like recesses belonging to different
families branch off. Whether it is owing
to the extreme dryness of the surroundings
or to some mysterious property of the
place, the process of decay has been ar
rested and the features of persons dead
for two centuries may be recognized from
authentic portraits. Here lie the brothers
Shearers, who were executed for their share
in the united Irish conspiracy, side by side
almost with the Earl of Leitrim who was
murdered about thirty years ago. The
earl's ancestors for hundreds of years back
rest in the same vault Perhaps tho
strangest thing about the vault Is the fact
that, apart from the weird sensation. there
Is nothing offensive In the surroundings.

GOLDEN Opportunities
Achievements of Success Not Con-
fined to Pioneer Days.
CONDITIONS ENCOURAGING
Needsand Requirements of Morrow
County at the Present Time
Properly Explained.
CONDITIONS ENCOURAGING

Not infreqHently do we hear the young
man of today remark: "There are NO
opportunities now like there used to be;
why 20 and 80 years ago the man who
located in this section OF Eastern Oregon
could not help but get rich. All'he had
to do was to turn his stock loose on the
range and watch them grow into money.
Advantages OF that kind are not to be
had NOWADAYS" What mistake. Ask
Pap Minor, Oscar Minor, Lum, Tom or
jim Rhea, Tom Ayers, Henry Heppner,
Orn Farnsworth, jim Hager, or any OF
the numerous other successful pioneers
OF Morrow county how "easy' 1T was
for them to accumulate property and be-
come we'll fixed here in an early day.
They will tell you that it required hard,
persistent work, exposure to all kinds OF
weather, perseverance, strict economy
and careful management to bring sue
cess to their efforts There was nothing
funny nor easy about 1t. Our pioneer
citizens had to work for what they now
enjoy. Thus it has always been and
ALWAYS will be. Those halcyon days
when men could get rich by sitting down
and folding their arms exist only in the
minds of the visionary and mlsnformed l.
There are Just as many, if not more,
golden opportunities nowadays for the
man OF pluck, energy, and business tact
to attain success in Morrow county as
there were in the days of long ago. All
we need to do is to take advantage o1
them. Travel the American continent
over and it is impossible TO find coun'
try more highly favored by nature thar
our own beloved Oregon.
Morrow county is just entering upon
new epoch. Think of what she will be
when her natural resources are fully de
yeloped. One hundred thousand acres
of arid land reclaimed bv irrigation anc

a portion of these new settlers. This
Fair should be encouraged in every way
possible. The legislature this winter
should make good, liberal appropria-
ton for the Fair. This great enterprise
will be of inestmable benefit not only
to Poraland but to all Oregon. AS to
this fact there remains NO question.
When the proper time arrives Morrow
county should not allow other counties
to outdo her in showing up their re-
sources and possibilities.
6. Morrow county needs cheaper fuel
and this demand will be fNIly supplied
soon by our new coal fields. The men
who have rlsked their money in devel-
oping these mines are deserving of the
greatest success and commentator.
They are public benefactors, and no one
will envy them the fortunes which seem
to be in sight for them.
Wthall these conditions confronting
us, are we not right now enjoying the
age of golden prosperity

hegs. He tigures that his grain has
brought him one dollar per bushel whe n
marketed in this way. 1t doesn't look
well for us to allow the East to ship car
load after carload OF ham, bacon, lard !,
butter, poultry and eggs into the West
every year when we have such splendid
means of producing these things right
here at home.
4. Another thing we need is some
thing to arouse more interest in the
matter OF irrigation-a subject that is of
supreme importance to every resident
of Eastern Oregon. The Govern ment
has appropriated some $8.000,O00 with
which to reclaim a portion of the arid
lands of the West, and we are entitled
to a portion of that money. We Will
get it too, if the proper efforts are made
10 that direction. Morrow county has
in the neghborhood of eight townships,
or some 100, 200 acres of arid land sus-
ceptble to irrigation. Nothing is impos-
sible for human ingenuity to accomplish,
and the waters of Snake river should be
+<> orly Ioanrt lo 10
into fertile ranches and productive or
chards 1t would be no small thing to
add over one million dollars worth of
rich agricultural land to Morrow coun-
tvs taxable property, and we should
exert every possible effort to get slice
of that appropriation. 1t is a regrettable
fact that Morrow county didn't have a
representative at the recent irrigation
convention held at Portland. The con-
yention will meet again at Baker City
next June and at Pendleton next Novem-
Der, and our county should be we'll rep
resented at both the future meetings
All that is needed to make Eastern Ore.
gon one of the most fertile and product
i've countries on earth is irrigation
President Roosevelt realizes this fact
and it was no doubt his solicitude fol
welfare of Morrow county which prompt
ed him to take so much interest in this
gigantic scheme. We, the citizens o.
this county, should certainly take as
much interest in our welfare as does the
President of the United States.
5. Morrow county needs more people
1t can support many times it's presen
population and then have plenty of room
for more. The main object of the Levi
& Clark exposition to be held at Port
land in 1905 is to attract Immigration t.
Oregon, and Morrow county must bav

transformed into thousands OF prosper
Gus and happy homes, adding over a
every acre of tillable land in the county
producing grain, fruit and vegetables !;
coal mines and gold mines giving up
their hidden treasures; the giant pines
of her forests converted into houses,
barns, fences and bridges manufacture
ing industries sending their smoke heav-
onward, notifying the world that the
West has shut down upon the unprofit-
able practice of sending her raw mater
lal across the continent, there to be
manufactured into needed articles and
shipped back to US again, we paying the
freight both wavs.
Opportunities? Yes. This county
has never been SO abundantly supplied
with them. Young man, take heed and
do not let all of them pass by.
Other contributors to the Gazette s
New Year edition will doubtless treat
fully upon present resources and condi-
tions of this section It is this writer s
desire to here present briefly few sug-
gestions as to the future needs and re-
quirements of Morrow county:
/. The present tax law is the great
est inconvenience with which the people
of this county have to contend, and es-
pecially is this true OF the farmers. Tie
law requires one-half of the taxes to be
paid before the first Monday IN A April-at
time when no one but the rich have any
money. A failure to pay at this time
subjects the taxpayer to penalty OF ten
per cent upon the whole amount and
interest on the same at the rate of twelve
per cent per annum. Those who are
able to pay the whole amount before
the first Monday in April are allowed a
rebate of three per cent. This law is
unjust and should be amended. The
penalty for non payment is too severe
and the rate of rebate should be reduced
or knocked out entirely What is mos
desired, however, is that the law be
amended so that the first half of the
taxes will become delinquent say il
June or July; or better still, to have
them all become due in the fall of the
year, say October or November. BY
this time cattle and sheep have beer
turned into the markets, the farmer
have sold their wheat and every bod,
has money. At such time it would b.
easier to pay the full amount of take
Heppner gazette. [volume] (Heppner, Morrow County, Or.) 1892-1912, 1903-01-01

than to be compelled to pay one-half
when there is no money in the country
2. The legaiZing of the present barb
wire fences is another question in which
our citizens are very much interested.
Following the custom of the country,
which is usually law itself, the wire
fences of Eastern Oregon are mostly
constructed Of two or three wires with
posts two rods, or about thirtytwo feet
apart. To build so much fence as is
needed in this country according to the
requirements of the present law would
nearly bankrupt the stockmen and farm
ers. Under present conditions, If ami.
mails running loose upon the range or
public highways should injure them
selves on these wire fences, the owner
of the animals, were he SO minded
could sue and collect damages from the
owner Of the fences, because the fences
are not constructed according to law.
The farmers and stockman seem to be a
unit in favor Of having the present fences
made legal.
3. Morrow county is being rapidly
transformed from stock men s paradise
to vast agricultural district A few
years hence will find the most of our
land under cultivation. Our own citi-
zens are just waking up to the possibili-
ties which this section has in store for
the energetic and prudent tiiIer of the
soil. People from abroad are noticing
and taking advantage of these possibli.
ties also. Many Of Sherman county's
best citizens have lately purchased fine
tracts OF improved land here, and more
of them are coming right along. So
they are from many other parts of the
State, also from the East and soon the
real estate which has heretofore been
selling at So per acre will be worth SIC
and SIS.
What is needed, however, is farming
carried on under the diversified system.
1t is an apparent tact that the most sue
cessful farmers Except, perhaps, those
who are able to raise wheat upon very
large scale) are those who have not de-
pended exclusively upon their grain
crops. We need more hogs, more milch
cows, more butter, more chickens, turk
eys, eggs, etc. Alex Young, who re
Gently sold his Morrow county rancl
and cleaned up over $4,000 in hare
cash, informs us that he made his money
by raising grain and feeding it to his
