being made for an expenditure of a
large amount of money this summer.

CANVASS ol Tie TWO villages Is being
made to learn how many people will use
electric lights providing they can get
them. Not less than 400 or 500 sixteen
candle power lights will be needed to

lights are pledged while the canvass is
being made. Therefore all who are in
favor of the project should lend all the
encouragement possible. If built the
plant will probably be placed near
Fetherston's mill.

to Oregon in 1895, settling in Salem for
about a year, when they came to The
Dalles, Mr.. Giger being part owner in
the New York Cash Store. After re-
naming here four years they left for
Heppner, where he conducted dry
goods store until the awful night of June
18th, when he met such an untimely
death.
AS Dalles people remember Mr.. and
Mrs. Giger they were what might be
termed an ideal married couple, perfect
ly devoted to one another and seemingly
finding unalloyed happiness in compan-
ionship. This fact makes the crcum-
stances of the death of the husband seem
the harder, Mrs Giger being in the East
visiting when he answered the last call.

the market.

When history writes of Heppner's town
Of the terrible flood that swept it down,
Fame will be there with gilded pen
To write the names of these two men.
Fighting their wav through storm and
night,
While torrents roared to lett, to right,
For the epector Death dow n the valley
strobe
And shreieked in glee, on the Willow
Creek road.
On, like the storm cloud, the riders
came,
Urging their horses, with eyes aflame,
Above the tempest their words rang
clear:
"Fly for your lives! The Cloudburst' 8
here!''
How many mothers with glistening eye,
Now bless those men for that timely cry
How many husbands have clasped their
wives
And blessed those men, who saved their
lives?

INSPECTING FORESTS.
III. ID. LangiIle Looking Over With
drawn Lands.

Fl. D Langille, representing the Bu-
reau of Forestry, Department OF Agri
culture OF the general government was
in the city Tuesday.
Mr.. Langille for 10 days he's been
making thorough inspection of the
timber lands recently withdrawn in the
Blue mountains, about 20 miles south of
Heppner The situation has been looked
over and data collected for report
which will be sent to the department at
Washington.
Mr.. Lsngille stopped over in Hepp-
ner day for the purpose of interview
ing prominent citizens to get the senti-
ment in general in relation to the pro-
posed withdrawal.
In speaking of the proposed reserve,
Mr.. Langille said to the GAZETTE:
with the people whom have talked
find but very little opposition TO the
permanent withdrawal Of the lands that
have been set aside temporarily for in
vestiQstlon. The people who are taking
the most interest are the stockmen, and
from the condition of the range it is not
strange that they are becoming inter-
ested, for with the scarcity of grass this
is becoming a serious problem.
"For the general good, find that
came too late, for the townships where
the watercourses head that come this
way have already been taken and 1
think that it is unfortunate for Heppner
that the reserve was not created prior to
the sc locations.
"A greater portion of the water shed is
on the south slopes. and protection to
the source OF streams is apparent TO all
From my Investigations, it is my
opinion that the outlook for stookmen is
not flatterinR,
"WhiIe we do not propose to touch
alienated lands, that is. lands that have
been located, the creation Of a reserve
would ultimately be of great benefit
and especially to the stOckmen. There
is no question rs to restriction being
placed on the number of stock TO be
grazed but in the end this will bring a
desirable condition, for it is the aim OF
the government to allow no more stock
to Craze than is compatible with the Ca
pacity OF production.
"HeIetofore the provisions of nature
have been abused. The ranges have
been over crowded and the nature grasses
have not been allowed TO seed, and as q
natural consequence the grass is dissp-
pearing.
"WIth a reserve under government
supervision, these conditions would be
eliminated and nature would be allowed
to restore the grasses.
