afford. To this end we are asking our
people to furnish us anything of excep-
tional excellence produced in the county
We want large collection of our best
graius, in the straw and IN the berry, of
our best grasses, fruits, in fact anything
of exceptional quality produced within
our limits. We want the people Of
every district in the county to give us
samples of their best products. We
will gladly furnish jars and preserva-
tives for all products which require this
mode of preservation. Every sample
Will be labeled SO that each locality will
get proper credit for what it furnishes.
We have safe and ample storage room
for all products in the basement of the
courthouse at Heppner, where they will
eventually be brought to await ship
ment. To facilitate the gathering OF
material, however, we have established
local repositories throughout the county.

Sufferers.

A c'rcnla, Ietje- has been sent out by
the ctz4ns OF MITCHELL asking for aid
in their distr4ss. On July II, cloud
burst struck above the unfortunate little
town and the high water caused great
amount of damage, leaving several
homeless. Two lives were lost.
A copy of the circular letter asking
for financial help was received by May
or Gillian Monday evening. The
people of Heppner have not forgot en-
the ready response of the. good people
to our call for aid. A special meeting
of the city council was Immediately
called and 500 was appropriated out of
the city funds. The Morrow county
court also appropriated 800. A sub
scription paper was circulated, and in
less than two hours 5000 was subscribed
by the citizens of Heppner. check
for the $4OO raised has already been
sent to the Mitchell relief committee.

Weekly Crop Bulletin.

U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture, Climate and Crop Bulletin Of
the Weather Bureau, Oregon Sec.
ton, for the week ending tuesday,
July 10.
GENERAL SUMMARY.
Nearly half of an inch of rain
fell in the Willamette valley dur
ing the latter part of the week,
and greater amounts are reported
in the coast counties. Frequent
rains also occurred in the eastern
sections Of the state. The rains
west of the Cascades have done
an immense amount of good. They
will help all growing crops, es-
pecially potatoes, corn, oats and
late spring wheat. Hops also will
be benefited, as well as gardens
and pasturage. The grain harvest
has been interrupted by the wet
weather, and in the coast counties
and plateau section some cut hay
will be more or less damaged, but
these losses are insignificant COM
pared with the great good the
rains have done. A sharp frost
occurred Wednesday morning in
portions Of the Willamette valley
and in some of the coast counties,
but the damage was confined to
tender vegetation and was not Sc
rious, Notwithstanding the late
ness Of the season.
Fall wheat is filling nicely, the
heads being large and the berry
plump. Although very little
wheat has been threshed, cores
pondents generally report the
yields to be better than expected.
In Sherman county some CON-
plant is made, bat generally the
quality Of the wheat is reported
above the average. Hops are do
ing nicely, but it is not expected
that the yields will be quite go
heavy as last year, on account OF
the long spell Of dry weather.
Stock continues in excellent con"
dition, but pasturage is getting
short, as is usual at this season OF
the year, and the milk supply in
the dairy herds has decreased
during the week.
Peaches are ripe and plentiful,
but apples have dropped badly
during the week, although the
prospects still continue favorable
for good crop of apples.

Grasshoppers Take Flight.

The grasshoppers have taken their
flight. On Tuesday of this week all be-
they sought high plane in the upper
air and drfted in southwesterly direc-
ton, which if continued, will take them
into California. Now we don't wish
California any harm, but they are a
guest which we are glad to dispense
with here, and if they should happen
to settle IN a typical California poultry
district, tn sort OF a farmer will be
strictly in the swim. There are plen ty
Billions of them passed. In the lower
attitudes their flight was cratic, but
away up, it could be seen they all took
the same direction without the variation
of point. This may be explained by
the lower ones being Just in the act of
rising, and as they gain the elevation
desired they will become a part of the
vast army Of insects that have elected
to leave this part of the country.
Whether they have a choice of direc-
ton or not We do not know. It is more
probable they are borne by the wind,
in which case it is possible for them to
be carried out to sea and reach watery
grave.

Five Carloads of Oregon Horses.

A. /. Corlett, pioneer cattle king oil
Wyoming. and Webb Summers, ol
Nampa, Idaho, have been in town the
past two weeks buying horses. They
succeeded in procuring enough for 5 car
loads, purchased principally from Newt
Jones, of Heppner, and Mr.. Taylor of
Grant county, which we're driven to
town and put aboard stock cars yester-
day morning and whose destination ia
Southern Illinois. The deal is purely
speculative, the same parties cleaning
up quite hce little stake year ago in
this manner. They expect also, TO re.
turn in about month for more busi-
ness. Mr.. Corlelt is an old acquaintance
OF the reporter, dating back to 1872.
He then lived in Cheyenne, and his
brother, Hon. w. w. Corlett, was one
of the brightest attorneys who ever cast
his lot in the "Magc City of the
Plains.'
These horses are unbroken range
stock for which all the way from $40 to
800 head was paid.

Home Grown Peaches.

JAS. Ayers, of Butter Creek, broug hit
in 200 pounds of fine peaches grown on
his place which he disposed of at a
good figure to local merchants. Fruit
raising is an industry which should, and
doubtless will receive more attention in
the future. The apple especially should
attain perfection in our climate, while
the cool nights will discourage, if not
eliminate the codlin moth. Repeated
trials have proven that the great sage
brush plains of the Far West possess
every requirement of fertility and eli
mate for the development of fruit if
provided with water. Those who have
seen the oasis of Boise City and the
fruit burdened orchards of Weiser know
that this IS true. We should be glad if
some of our intelligent and observing
farmers would experiment on fruit cul
ture, noting the variety 10 depth and
treatment of soils, as we'll as the va
rietes of trees planted.

TWENTY YEARS AGO.
No. 1000 of the EIeppnerGaZetteI In
vites RetrOspectiOn.

The Gazette is 1000 weeks old today
This issue requires four figures to de
note the whole number, indicating ar
age of 10 years and II weeks. Not ar
old age truly as affairs human go, but
with newspaper, and particularly in
the Far West, most ancient and ven
erable.
The Gazette has no files of its earlier
issues, but through the kindness of Mrs.
7. w. Ayers, we are permitted to ex
anime several of the first numbers Mol
shows j. II. Slime to have been publish
er. The plant was originally purchased
ing the following named persons; Jack
Morrow, Nelson Jones, John Elder,
VIM. Mitchell, Ben Parker Peter Glea-
son, Gid Boyer, Felix johnson, W. J.
Leezer, Z. q. Sloan, Ed. Matlock, Hol-
land Thompson, VIM. Penland, Stephen
Lllande, Preston Looney, Hugh Fields,
Frank Maddox, Abe Wells and T. w
Ayers. No more startling comment can
be made upon the changes which come
with the advancing years than to say
that of all this long list all are now de-
ceased save the one last named. The
solitary survivor, whose hair is now
silvered with age. yet possesses the spirit
Of the pioneer, and at time when most
men prefer to retire to life of quetude
and meditation, this man of indomtable
will and strength of purpose prefers to
dwell upon prospect rather than retro
spect. He is as keenly interested in
public affairs as ever, and will doubtless
"die in the harness."
No of the Gazette contains liberal
amount of local advertising. These of
most interest at this time are Ayers &
Kirk, livery; Matlock Bros, saloon; A.
Slocum, agricultural implements NJ
Lichtenthal, boots and shoes; +. W
Rhea, hotel J. L. Morrow & Son, gen
eral merchandise; W. J. Lcezer hard
ware; Minor & Dodson, groceries and
fancy goods; Heppner & Blackman,
general merchandise, and G. W. SwaC-
CART, saloon. There are qnite a number
of others. 1t will thus be seen that
Heppner was quite a thriving town 20
years ago.

about a year. In the fourth issue he

MOTIVE FOR PIG
 IRON PURCHASE
TRADE IS UNABLE TO ACCOUNT FOR THE DEAL MADE BY THE UNITED STATES STEEL coRPoR- ATIoN FOR 100000 TONS.

New York, March 3.-In it's issue today the Iron Age says the trade is searching for motive for the purchase by the Unit ed States Steel corporation of upward of 100000 tons of standard Bessemer pig iron for March and April delivery at SIS at furnace or an advance of % cents per ton.
 That so large and desirable advance in times like these is the review continues, in itself surprising. 1t is difficult to un- derstand that the purchaser should pur- chase at all when it has an abundance of ore in stock on which the cost of mining and transportation has been paid, an ann pie capacity of ovens considerable num- Der of idre blast furnaces in the very dis tricts in which those of the sellers are To- cated, and no anxiety as to supply of labor.
 The trade Is under the belief that there must be indirect though important con- alterations When the announcement was first made. the transaction was coupled with the pending ore negotiations, and 1t is hinted that even now this and possible further purchases are contingent upon a satisfactory issue. It has been suggested that existing sliding scales with consum- CTS of billets and of rolled products since they are based on the Bessemer pig iron quotations make it desirable to put back bone into the market. Be this as 1t may, the support by so powerful an interest must tend to check the natural demorali- zation in the Bessemer branch, which may be mildly reflected in other departments of the pig iron industry.
 The negotiations over the allotment and over the prices of Lake Erie ore for the coming season have as yet not led to any agreement, but while the outcome is even more dubious than it was, there is still chance that the principal interests may get together. The proposals made look to a reduction in the price of 50 cents ton on old range Bessemer and 35 cents a ton on Mesaba Bessemer.
 Some very low prices are being made on the whole line of products which go into railroad consumption with the excep- tion of steel Goods are being delivered at far distant points on some of the sys- tems which are lower than the base prices at mill.
