A READY RESPONSE
Contributions for Outing Associa-
ton Work Have Already Be.
gun to Come In.
Many Gifts Are Small, but Money
Will Go Long
Way.

The special attention called to the op-
portunity OF giving much pleasure and
benefit to tired women and little children
suffering from the heat and the impurities
OF city air IN the crowded districts has
brought ready response. The suggested
subscription list Of The Journal office
shows a long roll Of small contributions ag-
gregating sum that will enable many
children to enjoy their annual pleasure
trip, for the work costs on an average
much less than dollar apiece.
Those just going on their vacations or
those who are enjoying life in some clean,
sweet, comfortable country or suburban
home are almost without exception willing
to share some OF their joys with others
less fortunate, II they know how to do 1t
judiciously and effectively. For those hav-
ing this generous impulse the Outing as
ISOLATION furnishes just the desired outlet.
This pleasure Of sharing ones summer de-
lights is not a luxury restricted to those
able to give largely, but one in which all
may have a part. No sum is too small to
help and small gifts will be appreciated
fully. The little "self denial helps from
children and working folk have always
been notable feature Of the Outing asso-
citation funds rather than muniflcent gifts
from those who will never miss the money.
The boy who has had days fishing with
a little spending money often saves his
dime or quarter Ito help give some other
Teller good time. Pleasure clubs also
! seem to feel particularly interested In this
| philanthropy and are usually among the
| first to respond by making Up little
purses that carry with them possibilities
of incalculable benefit to whole party
| Of children.

The two hot days brought to the minds
of all of the former outing children vivid

PLENTY OF COAL.
willow Creek Mines Furnishin 9
Good supply.

The novel sight of big frelghting out
fits loaded with coal is now a common
sight in Heppner.
People have already commenced to
get in their winter supply of fIel from
the Willow creek coal mines. Next
week additional teams will be put on
owing to the, increased demand, and be-
fore winter sets in there will be string
of freight wagons on the road between
Heppner and the Willow creek coal
mines.
The coal is now coming principally
from tunnel No. ), where avery promls-
inc measure Of coal is being breasted
out.
As mining progresses ana greater
depth IS reached, the quality of the coal
is getting better all the time. Where
the coal is coming from quite an open
ing has been made and there seems to
be no end to the supply. The roof,
floor and sides present a solid mass Of
pure coal, ready for the work of the
miners to supply demands in quantities
unlimited.
The only drawback now is the lack Of
transportation facilities.
Coal is supplied at the mines at s. per
ton and il costs about 81 a ton to get it
hauled to Heppner. This makes a
saving OF $50 per ton over the price
paid for Rock Springs coal, and the
Willow creek coal is fully equal II not
better in quality.

with other crops.

A good portion of the alfalfa crop of
this county is along the fertile bottoms
of Willow creek. The first crop was
badly damaged by the disastrous food
in June. A great many feds were
totally destroyed by being washed out
or being covered with thick coating of
mud. On upper Willow creek the
second crop Of alfalfa is being damaged
by grasshoppers. and taking it all the
way through there is not much hay lett.
These conditions are certainly dis
couraging to the stock men, not only the
sheepmen but the cattle growers as well.
To meet these conditions, flock own
ers Will be compelled to reduce their
flocks, and present offerings are not
desirable.

The executive committee consisting
of Mayor Frank Gillian, Geo. Conser
and +. NJ. Shut, appointed for the re-
lief of tie Heppner food sufferers and
to take care of the conditions in genera

ton against high water should another
cloudburst ever occur.

several trips Of inspection over the
ground.
J. J. McGee, the well known surveyor
has been employed to make survey
and furnish an estimate of the amount
of work required and the probable cost.
Since the flood, the question of open
ing up the channel so that the waite,
can be carried away, without damaging
anything has been agitsted by Heppner
people.
As soon as the engineer furnishes his
estimates, action will be taken by the
committee as to the best method of
procedure.

Excavating for the sewer from the
Palace hotel is now completed and the
work is being delayed little on account
of waiting for the pipe. Mr.. Metschan

church stood, on the bank of Willow
creek. The water from the cesspool will
be filtered, only clear water going into

Liverymen are now getting in supply

is wheat hay which is now being cut.

selling for $12 80 per ton with good de-
mand and scarce at that. Baled wheat
hay brings Sl4 to $l5 per ton.

DANGER IN SLEEPING CARS.
Derths Scored as Filthy and Disease
Laden by American HeaIth
Association.

The filthy and disease-laden Sleep
Ing car has been duly scored by the
American Health association. AT the
meeting In Washington, says the Star,
the subject was very thoroughly dis
cussed from sanitary standpoint.
Although the facts regarding the culp-
able uncleanliness OF berths are adj
mittsd by the public. their rehearsal
from time to time helps to emphasize
the necessity for reform.
The railroad companies are always
ready with excuses against lettering
conditions. Their business is to
avoid trouble and save expense The
casual traveller may growl as much as
he chooses. but is oftener contented
TO submit to an infection rather than
suffer the humiliation Of a fruitless
appeal to authority.
No one needs be told that the ordi-
nary heavy curtained and ill-ventilated
night car is yeritable propagation of
infectious diseases. What better could
be expected when the nightly used
blankets, as claimed by one speaker,
are cleansed but once in six months?
And, pray, what power exists to call
officials to account? What is the real
guarantee for the sleeper that he is
absolutely safe from the germs left
for him from the previous customer?
The only remedy rests in the ordinary
honesty of the common carrier.
One OF the railsoad experts rather
plausibly claimed that it was not fair
70 require railroads TO spend large
sums OF money for sanitary purposes
until they knew where they stood. AS

corning the efficacy of absolute cleanli-
ness, perfect ventilation and thorough
disinfection-all easy enough OF APP

Mr., Thomas Snyder Painfully In
jured Thursday Afternoon.
VICTIM OF AN ACCIDENT
Gun in the Hand Of Rev. Crowder Prem
alureIy Discharged While the Gentle
men Were After Birds.

Another accident of tile hunting
season occurred Thursday afternoon
about O'Clock near Inwood. about
miles from this CITY, when Mr.. Thorn
as SNYDER, of Baltimore, was shot in
the fore arm by Rev. u. S. Crowder,
of Bunker Hill. The affair was pure.
" accidental and has caused Rev.
sCrowder no little distress, for the in
jury Of his companion was one of
those that could not be foreseeD.
The acct dent happened on the land
of Mr.. J. w. Strong at Inwood, where
the gentlemen were hunting, having
gone there in the morning to spend
the day in the fields. They were in
the midst of a covey of birds. the gen.

when Rev. Crowder raised his gun to
fire at the birds, and it was accident
ly DISCHARGED when only half wav to
his shoulder. The charge entered the
right arm of Mr.. Suvder, just above
the wrist
The charge however scattered and
all Of it did not enter his arm. A
number of shots however lodged in
his arr. and caused considerable pain.
AS soon as the ACCIDENT happened,
the injured man was taken to the
house of a neighbor, where the wound
was dressed. The ann was badly lac
Grated by the, shots, but it is thought
that the injury will not prove serious.
The gun was loaded with bird shot
and this was one thing that saved
him from more serious woond.
Mr.. Snyder is brother-in-law OF
Mr.. w. II. Wright. and has been
spending sometime at his home dur
ing the fall. Rev. Crowder is pastor
of the United Brethren church at
Bunker Hill where he is highly es-
teemed.
Mr.. Snyder is of an extremely ner-
vous nature. and the accident has
nearly caused collapse of the system.
He was brought to this city this
morning, where he embarked for his
home in Baltimore. While visiting
in the county. he made number of
friends, who will be sorry to hear OF
the accident and hope that it will not
prove serious.
