LO as a Weather Prophet.

Poor Lo is dscredited as prophet.
For some mysterious reason the white
people generally were looking for big
flood Friday. The Indian had said:
"July 22d heap big flood come down
Willow creek; flood white mans fields !;
wash away white mans cattle and
horses; float white mans house; and
drown white mans wife and children"
After an especially hot day black.look-
ing clouds gathered in the south and
west toward evening and for time it
looked as if the red mans prophecy
might be fulfilled, but beyond few
hailstones and few drops of rain
the precipitation amounted to nothing.
The clouds soon dssipated and the sky
became as clear as before The cold
logic of events skaters another
dream concerning the primeval inhabt-
ants of the Golden West

Increased Rainfall,
East Oregonian.

Is nature reversing her ancient pro-
gram in Oregon? Is the gradual settle
ment and cultivation of the arid regions
of Eastern Oregon having tendency to
increase rainfall and is the denudation
of forests on the Coast decreasing rain
fall in some districts in that part of the
state? 1t is true that portions of Una
tllla county north and west of Pendle-
ton are increasing in fertility every year.
Land scarcely considered worth plow-
ing ten years ago is now considered to
be the safest and most certain wheat
land in the county. Where it yielded
from five to II bushels in 1890 to 1895,
it now Yields Is to 25 bushels and it ia
needless to say that prices have in
creased accordingly. Wells have been
recently found on farms in that drv dis.
trict upon which numberless holes were
bored years ago, which did not show a
sign of water. All this shows increas-
ing moisture and greater precipitation.
There are those who believe that the
gradual settlement along the outer bor-
1ers of the arid district will gradually
reclaim the entire area, as cultivation
induces moisture and the natural rain
all of the country is increasing. Una.

More Samples wanted.

Five large bundles of wheat and rye
have come in from Morrow county
farmers and have been placed in charge
of Mr.. Gillian for exhibition at the big
fair next year. These exhibits are un-
doubtedy fine, but there is not nearly
enough. Farmers throughout the
county are urged to bring IN specimens
of this years product. Let us have
samples grown upon every kind of land
and enough of each to properly repre-.
sent US. 1t is not expected that luxuri.
ant growths will be developed on semi
arid land, but we want an honest exhib-
it of this nevertheless. The intention
of the committee is to show what may
be expected from every part of the
county. An attractive, generous and
wel-arranged display will be the most
effective agency for fast peopllng our
county with thrifty and well-to-do
class of citizens. Each should take
personal interest in this matter, and if
you have nothing to exhibit youIself
talk to and encourage your neighbor
who has, to save samples.
We are glad to announce that almost
all of the counties throughout the state,
ably seconded by the Development
League, are working hard along these
ines, and the fact is already assured !
hat the state will be given perhaps
more advertising next year than she |
las had in all the years heretofore,
which will have a wonderful effect in
he rapid increase of population and de-
elopment.

It would seem that the people of
Oregon are at last becoming
aroused as to the value and ne
cessity of advertising our resources.
Considerable interest is being
taken in every county In the State
in preparing an exhibit for the
Lewis and Clark fair next year in
Portland. Oregon can furnish the
goods aud all that is necessary is
for the people to furnish the en-
ergy and enterprise to get our
products together in an attractive
manner. A good showing will be
of great and lasting benefit to the
state and the most enterprising
county in furnishing the best ex-
hib;t will be rewarded with the
greatest results. Here in Morrow
county we have 1,313,2S0 acres of
land, an empire in itself with not
enough population to make a good
sized country town. Less than
5000 people. There is certainly
room for more people and with
them a few new ideas.

countless memories of historic and
sacred moment, he visited Con-
stantinople, Athens, Rome, Flor
ence, Venice, Vienna, Berlin,
Hamburg and Copenhagen, inter-
esting aud ancient cities of the
five great world powers of today.
Then he devoted the remainder of
his time to his own fatherland,
Sweden. We will perhaps tell of
this portion Of his experiences in
subsequent article. He pro-
ceeded to London and Southamp-
ton, sailing from the latter port on
July I'd for America, visiting the
St. Louis fair, of which he spoke
in high praise, before arriving
home again in Heppner.
The satisfaction of such long
sight seeing trip to man of Mr..
Borg's temperament and informa-
ton may readily be imagined, but
even novel scenes pail on the ap-
petite after five months of it, and
our fellow citizen was as glad to
get back to the scene of his long
labors and triumphs as his neigh
bors were glad to welcome him.
But the sensations he experienced
brighten up all that he has read,
and will remain an indescribable
pleasure as long as life shall last.

From reliable information as to
the wheat yield of Morrow county
this season, the Gazette is of the
opinion that this county will this
year export more wheat per capita
than any other county in the state
of Oregon. With less than 5000
population we Will have 100000
bushels of wheat to sell.

IN FOREIGN LANDS.
II. O. Borg Returns Home After Five
Months of Sight Seeing.

P. o. Borg returned Tuesday
from a tour of the Old World,
having been absent from Heppner
since the first of February. Stop
ping briefly at Chicago and Wash
ington, D. c., he took an ocean
liner on February 27 from New
York CITY, arriving at Naples. He
successlvely visited Alexandria
and Cairo, spending considerable
time in the land Of the ancient
pharaohs. From Cairo he went $50
miles into the interior, returning
again by steamer on the Nile.
He took in the catacOmbs, but
shrank from exploring the interior
of those mammoth piles Of rock
whose structure gave us one of the
seven wonders of the world, and
which have withstood the ravages
Of the centuries-the pyramids,
From Cairo he experienced the
questionable delights of a camel
ride to Port Said. He then pro-
ceeded TO Joppa, whose modern
appe'lation has been transformed
to Jaffa, and thence took the cars
for Jerusalem. He observed that
the railroads are not nearly go we'll
equipped as those in our own
country. Another point that
bothered him was distances, travel
being measured by hours instead
of miles. AT Jerusalem 4here is a
walling place, where the Jews daily
congregate to bewaiI the departed
glories OF the Holy City, cere-
monial which seemed to be far
more than pertunctory, as they
beattheir breasts and poured NAL
ediction upon the conquering Mos
lem. Bethlehem, the birthplace
of Christ, was next visited, then
Jericho. He inspected the shores
of the Dead Sea, 1000 feet below
sea level, and gazed at the alleged
spot on the Jordan where Jesus
was baptized by John the Baptist.
He saw the spring whose bitter
waters Elijah bade be sweet, also
the caves where the prophet re-
treated from his enemies and |
where the ravens came to supply |
him with food. From a hill near
Jericho he saw Mt. NebO, from
which point Moses saw the prom
sed land and from which he never
returned. The grave of Moses is
)ne of the unsolved problems:
Nc man dug that sepulchre
And no man saw it e'er;
cor the ang ls of God upturned the sod
And laid the dead man there"
The Mount of Temptation where
)hrist was tempted Of the devil
nd the Mount of Olives were
ext observed by Mr.. Borg. He '
hen visited the Garden of Geth- t
emane, the scene of Christ's pas
ion. Here a branch of the olive
zee, upon which Christ was said
, have been crucified, is still liv-
lg, Mr.. Borg securing bit of the
ark. This is 80 old that worm C
oles can be seen through it in
any places. An ancient Jewish tt
raveyard at the foot of the noun 81
in, with the gravestones lying

asst interesting. Mr.. Borg next b

CONDEMN BUILDINGS.
Legislature Blamed For Condi. ton of Buildings No Fire

 Water Service.

Little Rock, Ark, Jan. 26.
 At the next meeting of the State Board of Charitable Institutions on February 2, a letter will be read from Superintendent of Public Works G. Morgner and Chief of the Fire Department Charles F. Hafer condemning the deaf mute institute buildings as unsafe because of a lack of fire protection. They made an in- spection of the buildings last week and have pronounced the new buildings veritable fire traps, having no fire escapes, adequate water service or hose to use in case of a fire. The stairway in the girls dorinitory is of infiam- mable pine and the door leading from the dormitory is kept locked all night. The only water is from two-inch main with a pressure of about 20 pounds, wholly insufficient to combat a fire. There is no fire drill among the pupils, and no fire extinguish- CTS in the halls. Superintendent Morgner declares that the pres ent conditions are juggling with human lives" Unless steps are taken to remedy the conditions the city council will act.
