MARKED TRIBUTE TO VERMONT.


We have already referred to the

There was another swing IN the pen

winter and tho skcptcs who have been
predicting the Abandonment of the prop
osition. having caught their breath after
the body blow given them by the con-

A new turn was given to this sort OF

Mrs. B. R. Patterson gave very
pleasant Dutch whist party at he1
home on Chase street, Thursday
evening, in honor of Miss Mayme
West. The parlors were very
prettily decorated with nastur.
tiums and sweet peas. The punch
table was arranged on the porch
and was presided over by Miss Lu.
la Campbell. There were seven
tables and the guests enjoyed the
novel game of Dutch whist very
much. On each score card was a
dainty little Dutch maiden done in
water colors by Miss West. The
prize was a Dutch lemonade
pitcher and WAS won by Mrs. De-
liza Hallock. The hostess was as

\ Good Result.

Under the operation of the new Pure
Food Laws, baking powders now gener
ally bear on the labels statement OF the
ingredients. This is OF utmost impor.
tance because of the harmful ingredients
used in many cases.
Royal Baking Powder is known TO be
the only baking powder made of Royal
Grape Cream of Tartar, and this nc
doubt explains its greatly increased sale
here.
Careful housekeepers are taking a d.
vantage of the protection which tn g
Laws afford, and are examining all the
reading matter on the back of the label
before adopting any brand for use in the
home.
When in place of the words Cream Of
Tartar the words "alum" aluminium"
or phosphate of lime" appear among
the ingredients, they heed the warning
and avoid baking powders containing
these substitutes.

PROSPEROUS
SEASON
Wool Business Cleaned I'D
in Morrow County.
Three Million Pounds of Wool and
10000 head of sheep Sold
i'm This County.

The wool season for the yea
1907 is now a thing of the past il
Morrow county as we'll as the
spring shipping and selling season
for sheep.
The last of the wool was shipped
from the warehouse of the Nor
row Warehouse Milling company
this week.
About 100000 pounds passed
through the Heppner warehouses
while half million pounds of the
lower country woods were shipped
from other points on the Heppner
branch.
The bulk of the wool was sold
around 10 IL cents per pound.
There was a large sale of sheep
owing to the unusual high prices
offered for sheep.
About 10000 sheep have been
shipped and trailed out of the
county this season.
Taking it all around 1907 has
been one of the most prosperous
years in the history of the sheep
business. The lambing season
was very successful owing to the
favorable climatic conditions and
the big prices for both wool and
sheep have put large profits into
the pockets of the sheepmen.
The wool season all over the
state is now practically closed. The
last big sale was at EIgin where
100000 pounds were recently sold
at prices ranging from IS to 20 5-S
cents per pound. About two thirds
of the clip lf Wallowa and Union
counties have been previously dis
posed of at private sale at an av-
elage of about 19 cents, SO the
growers who held for the sealed |
Did sales were we'll pleased with
the result.

HARVEST IN
PROGRESS
Crops Well Matured and
Beyond Danger.
The Yield Will be Equal to the Big
Crop of 1S9I-QuaIity Never
Was Better.

Harvest is now general in the
lone and Lexington wheat belts
and will soon be general all over
the county.
This is the first year that COM
blnes have been taking a promin-
ent part in harvesting the grain.
There are now several in operation
and it is said that these machines
will take the place of the header
on the larger ranches.
For maturing wheat and for
harvest work the weather is all
that can be desired.
From all over the county re-
ports are fattering.
County Assessor Conner who
owns a big wheat ranch in the
lone wheat belt visited his place
last Sunday. He brought back
a sample of fall club wheat, a
sample of Early Wilbur spring
wheat and also some volunteer.
The wheat was all ripe and ready
to cut. The heads We're large and
exceptionally we'll filled with
wheat of first quality.
Mr.. Conner says that be was not
only pleased but surprised when he
looked over his 4l0 acres of grain.
de says that all through where be
visited wheat looks good. He
thinks that the yield will equal the
bumper crop of 1891.

IN NEW
HANDS
Company of Local People
Buy Heppner Laundry.
Ten Heppner People buy Out For
mer Owner and Will Con.
duct the Business.

That Heppner has first elias
steam laundry in the way of ma
chinery, buildings, etc, is a ques
ton not doubted.
There is plenty of business t.
make the institution pay, and pay
we'll, is the unanimous verdict, a.
least ten business men think il
strong enough to invest their
money.
The laundry has changed hands
several times, and has never been
in the hands of a practical laun-
dryman.
The former owners knew moth
ing about the laundry business,
the help knew less and consequent
ly the only people satisfied were
the proprietors of a Pendleton
Laundry where a good portion of
the business was forced to go.
Mr.. Beaman becoming tired of
the trials incident to such a con-
dition made public the announce
ment that he would sell at sac.
rifice or close up the business en-
tirely.
The question of a fuel famine
or other minor matteIs can be
looked upon, lightly but the idea
OF wearing soiled linen was not to
be stood for.

W. E. Walbridge, P. o. Borg, Os-

owners of the laundry.
The company will be incorpor-
ated, the necessary papers having
been sent to the Secretary
Of State.

been secured from Walla Walla |

WORLDS
OF COAL
And That of the Finest
Quality.
Opinion o 4 Practical Mining Man
Who Recently Visited vii.
low creek Field.

Mr.. Jones who came from Sc
attic to investigate the proposition
of mining the Willow creek Goa
mines to get coal for Heppnel
was out to the mines the latter
part of last week and examined
the field.
Mr.. Jones after looking over the
proposition decided that in order
to get out the coal it would be nec-
essary to put in a pump, and with
the other necessary preliminary
work and expense to properly
mine the coal wou d make it too
expensive for the few people in
terested in getting a winters fuel
supply.
Mr.. Jones who was brought up
in the coal mines, having had long
experience both in Wales and this
country, was greatly impressed
with the Willow creek field.
He says that there is large
body of the finest bituminous coal
and all that is needed is to mine It.
Echo Interested.
The Echo Register IN speaking
OF the fuel situation says:
"There is no use of Echo or
Heppner being short on coal or
paying exorbltant prices for the
same, with coal mine 35 miles
from Echo and 20 from Heppner.
"In this connection, and with
the prospect of a scarcity of fuel
his fall, it is an opportune time
% agitate the question of building
railroad to this mine. A stock
company formed for this purpose
would receive good dividend up

When the World dxWss a Cube.

There was a time, centuries since,
of course, when the learned men Of
the world really taught that the world
was a square, not merely fiat, but
that it was cube. The primitive ge-
ographers Of Egypt, Assyria and China
all taught that tie world was q
"square$plane," evidence Of which may
be found on thousands5of ancient mon
uments in the countries mentioned, as
we'll as in their aneientsS ntsSnaruscripts
upon their inscribed clay and
other early literary remains. One of
the most acknowledgements ever made

AT II A. M, WITH MERCURY AT

VIOUS FEW DAYS.

But for an accommodating thunder
shower that came along shortly after
12 noon, accompanied by brisk
breeze from the northwest, yesterday
was in a fair way to again break the
record for this seasons high tempcra-
ture. At II o'clock, before the wei
come clouds obscured the rays of the
sun, the official thermometer on the
custom house stood at 81 degrees
with every Indication of rapidly going
higher. At 2:40 o'clock while slight
/ shower fell, the same thermometer
Registered II, a fall of IA degrees IN
t1ess than three hours. From that
hour however, it again ascended
/ slowly and the early evening was as
jhot and uncomfortable as has been
experienced during the hot spell.
The average maximum for yesterday
tis 81 and the average minimum 70.
ION the same date last year the maxi

slight trace of rain fell for a few
minutes yesterday afternoon while on
