The validity OF the drainage law has been
sustained by the supreme court in two
cases submitted, They are the last de-
cisions returned by the court for this
period. The chief question at issue in both
was the constitutionallty. One is the case
Of r. r. Sisson against the Board of Su-
pervisors of Buena Vista County and the
other the case Of Frank Ross against the
Supervisors Of Wright County. Injunctions
were asked in each case. A large number
of drainage schemes, which have been held
up in different parts of the state awaiting
this decision, will now be carried forward
at once.
Considerable Ill feeling was engendered
in the Fifty-sixth regiment, National guard,
that broke camp yesterday because Of a

their pay the part due from the federal
government being held up because of some

we're seated in the Office of the latter

how essential it is to have harmony

"He has brought about peaces between

but let us appeal to their better sense

with 10 cents forwarded to this office
for paper referring to his candidacy.
The particular issue desired being ex-

Big Wheat Crop at Heppner.
Heppner Gazette.

1t is estimated that Heppner will
receive about 100, 900 bushels of wheat
this season. This will be about 25OOO
bushels short of last year. The short.
age is accounted for by the fact that
the acreage was smaller this year THAI
last. AS the grain is being threshed
yields are turning out fully as we'll as
last year and the qulaity of wheat is
somewhat better than usual. There
are yet thousands of acres of the best
wheat land in Morrow county in the
vicinity of Heppner that have never
been plowed. The time will soon be
here when this land will all be farmed
and Heppner will be big wheat ship
ing point.

Right Of Way Matters Are Settled.

Deals for rights of way on the lands
Of N. G. Evans and George L. Prather

Railway, and work of clearing for the
grading has begun on the latter farm.
A pile driver is pounding away at the
west end of the o. X. & N. bridge
over Hood river, where connection
with the main line Of road will be
made.
Construction work will be rushed
as rapidly as possible from now on.
The right of way through the Winans

As soon as this is completed, track
laying will begin, and it will require
but few months for the completion
of the road.
