QUESTION OF SEWERAGE.

The question of system of sew
erage for the town of Heppner is
now being agitated with serious
ness, for of the many public i'm
provements advocated here, the
matter Of preservation Of the
health Of the people stands upper
most. Many of the leading citi-
zens and property owners now fa-
vor taking hold of this proposition
andspushing the matter until some
thing is accomplished.
Sewerage with Heppner is Sc
rious problem, but not impossible,
for the difficulties can be overcome
if properly dealt with.
There are Just three great ques-
tions to handle to bring the propo-
sition into successful operation.
First, is the cost. 1t will be ex-
pensive. 1t means a large expendi-
ture of money, and the only way
to raise this money is by taxation.
Whether the town is in condition
at this time to raise enough money
is a question that should be care
fully considered.
Second, where is the water COM
ing from. Whether it would be
cheaper to pump it from well or
bring it from mountain springs, is
matter of public discussion, but
can only be settled by experts in
ivestigation.
Third, place to run the sewage.
1t is said that w. o. Minor offers
to let it be deposited on his farm
where he can use the water for ir-
rigation.
lie this is true then this part of

THE COUNTRY PERS
and THE PUBLIC.

The country newspapers Of the
State of Oregon have been
officially advised by the State
Commission of the Lewis and
Clark fair that unfortunately there
has been no appropriation for the
press, and that the great amount
of work and advertising which will
fall an the papers must be donated,
and also mixed with a very liberal
application Of patriotism which
throbs in the big hearts of every
country newspaperman.
This is not particularly any
fault of the commission, and the
illustration is only sample of the
feeling of the public in relation to
the papers. 1t is only carrying
out long established precedent,
that the country newspaper is only
a patriotic public servant working
every day in the year for the pub
lie to be rewarded by that feeling
that good is being accomplished
whether the papers bills have
Heppner gazette. [volume] (Heppner, Morrow County, Or.) 1892-1912, 1903-07-23
he proposition would not be diff

the proposition would not be diff
ficult.
In putting in a ystem Of sewers,
while ample provision must be
made for the extension and growth
OF the town, the amount of sewage
per capita in Heppner would be
comparatively small. ln all towns,
this depends largely upon the
water supply. We have no man
ufacturing concerns in which large
quantities Of water are used, and
generally speaking, water is used
sparingly on account Of the linn
tied supply.
This would be an important item
in the cost Of construction.
The proposition should be care
fully investigated. 1t is a big un-
dertaking that should not be
rushed, but a start should be made
to get the matter before the people
so that working foundation may
be established.

thousand pounds of wool have
been handled in Heppner this sea-
son. This wool brought an av-
erage price Of about -! cents per
pound, which netted the grover a
good profit and has added strength
to the great sheep industry. The
sheep is king and wears the golden
hoof in Morrow county.
Heppner gazette. [volume] (Heppner, Morrow County, Or.) 1892-1912, 1903-07-23

way to settle the trouble is for the
stockmen to get together as good
business men and settle the trouble
themselves. A proclamation adj
dressed to the stockmen would do
more good than to call oD the
officers, for if they cannot agree
they will have trouble in spite Of
the law or proclamations.

Pope Leo passed peacefully
away Monday afternoon, and while
his death caused sorrow over the
world, the end is a relief as well.
1t was only the natural result OF
old age. His long career and
active life, and the courageous
battle against death at the very
end shows Pope Leo to haye been
a man Of remarkable strength.
His life work has been earnest,
faithful, and for good and he was
a splendid specimen of that type
of character to be admired and re-
spected not only in the Catholic
world but by every body.

been paid or not.
The Lewis and Clark fair is a
worthy undertaking and should be
encouraged, but, has the com
mission asked the mechanic, the
merchant and the people in gener-
al to donate everything. Are these
people expected to give their goods
and wares: if so, then the country
newspaper will have nothing to
say, for by having a successful fair
all these people will be benefited
just as much as the country news
paper. A great deal of this is our
own fault, and we will go ahead
and help the fair, but then must
we forever keep it up.

There is no excuse for idle men
in Morrow county. There is plenty
Of employment for all who want

The great long American petition
to the Gar of Russia, asking for
relief and justice for the Jews, has
been turned down hard. 1t WAS
just simply rejected, but who ever
thought of any other disposition
of this petition. The Gar has
troubles of his own.

In the able letter written by
Hon. j, w. Morrow to the
GAZETTE, many important public
Improvements are advocated. Some
of these improvements at least
should be taken up at once Sc
riously. The GAZETTE is of the
opinion that the question of sewer
age is the greatest at present be-
fore the people of Heppner. 1t
would not be prudent at this time
to put too many irons in the fire,
but the time is not far distant
when the health of the community
will absolutely demand a better
system of sewerage. it would not
be bad policy for the city council
to Immediately take up tEis ques-
tion and thoroughly investigate
the adviBability and cost of an ad-
equate system for the present
needs.

Governor Chamberlain has is
sued a proclamation asking all
peace officers to use due vigilance
in the enforcement of laws in the
event of range troubles in Eastern
Oregon. The absence of range
troubles SO far this season is
noticeable. Not because there is
any more grass or less stock to be
ranged, but because the men who
are in the stock business have
found it more profitable to do bus
mess from a business standpoint.
Range troubles have been more
easily settled by cool judgment
and a fair distribution of justice
than by the revolver and rifle. If
this should be dry fall causing
scarcity of grass, it is possible for
range troubles to occur, but the
