"Take my speciality, buildings.
We can't build as the ancients did.
The secret of their mortar and ce-

GOOD MAN TO LEAVE ALONE.

We have noticed that the man
whose only comment as he reads the
paper is a 'Tkick" on the things he
does not like is the same one who
chicks" on his friends; thinks the
town he lives in is the dnllest on
earth; complains because it rains
too much or does not rain enough;
thinks the weather is too hot or too
cold. 1t is no use to discuss any,
thing in the world with a man of
that kind. The only sensible thing
to do is to give him time to think by
letting him alone. - Atchison

ages and discovers some remarkable

Returns from Small caplta,.

Many of the great mines of the west
were developed by men who had CON-
paratively little capital The Aspen,
which yielded about $23,0O0,OOO, gave
its fortunate lessee $467, 900 in As
days. He had spent only $4,000 in
opening it, The Hecla. of Burke,
Idaho, was opened by six dairymen
who a few weeks ago refused $2,67O,-
600 for it. Ex-senator Thomas
Kearns, general manager of the Sill
yer King, which has paid $10,5O5, 900
in dividends, says that it cost $58, 900
to put the property on a paying basis
He and his partners had nothing but
their wages and savings from them
when they began to develop the mine.

From Sandals to Shoes.

The first foot coverings were sand
ais After these came shoes left open
at the toes, then the wooden shoes
of the ninth and tenth centuries, fol-
lowed a little later by shoes with
long pointed and turned-up toes,
which sometimes reached as high as
the knee Later a shoe was worn
with an exceedingly wide toe, SO very
wide that it impeded the process of
walking. Queen Mary restricted the
wearing of this by proclamations. The
proclamation ran to the effect that
shoes should not be worn wider than
six inches.

AS to Stray Cats.

A man of cats declares it is the
worst of luck for a pet black cat to
forsake your home. A woman of cats
asserts it is the best of luck. In the
middle ages Satans favorite form was
a black cat. Witches always have a
cat as their familiar, stray black pussy
in preference. If white cat races
across your yard a child is going to
die. If stray cat of any color takes
up with you, making your home it's
home, you will have good luck.

Even poor, guilty Ella got her share of this
wonderful elixir; for General Talbot pleaded
so successfully with Aunt Prue that she con-
sented to let the unhappy girl go home un-
punished on condition that she should never
see or hear from her again. And So with
this stern sentence of utter banishment from
the life for which she had sighed ringing in
ltI, her ears, Ella Reed disappeared from our
little heroines' path forever
Altogether, Tessie's getting well was such
very pleasant business that she did not
very much object to the doctors grave or
ders that she must not be in too great hur-
ry about it.
Very soon, the big, square room into which
the old walnut tree peeped, became such a
merry, cheerful nook that no one would have
recognized it; for Aunt Prue resigned her
authority, and her brother took command, as
he always did, whether in fort or field.
And he was the very prince of papas, as
Trix and Tessie discovered before they had
known him twenty-four hours. Treasonabe
as it seemed to her good old friend, Tessie
decided he was just as nice, perhaps even
little nicer, than Doctor Groot.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-03-10

Kind as Doctor Groot was, he had never
held her half the night in his arms before
the pleasant fire, when she had grown weary
and wakeful in bed. Clever as Doctor Groot
was, he could not be expected to be as enter
tanning as papa, who had been the Iron
Chief of the frontier for SO many years, and
had seen enough with his own eyes to fill
half dozen books.

came to see her, and made it pleasanter still.

BIGGS LOCAL
TO PENDLETON
Extension of Local Train Ordered
by The Railroad
Com ssiOn.

AS climax to the agitation for better
train service on the 0. R. & N. system
the Oregon railroad commission hat
ordered No. 8, the Biges local passenge
train. extended to Pendleton. as a daily
local train, to be reasonably equipped
to handle the local travel with comfor,
and to make connections with branch
line trains at Biggs, Arlington and
Heppner Junction.
This order is a surprise to both the
people of Eastern Oregon and the o. r.
& N, as it has been supposed all along
that the addition of a clean coach to
train No. at Pendleton. for the a COM
mediation of local travel, was an end to
the matter at present at least, says the
East Oregonian.
However, since the colonist rush has
started, not only have main line trains
been crowded to the limit, but they
have also been very much behind their
schedules, and it is supposed that
the commission has acted on it's own
initiative, in ordering the Biggs local
extended to Pendleton to relieve the
situation.
What the o. R. & n. company will
do in the matter is problematical. The
order of the railroad commission gives
the company so days in which to place
the train in service, and it is gederally
believed that the matter will be resisted
and the railroad commissions authority
tested in the courts.

The thermometer of the business
interests of towr are its banks
In speaking of the Bank of Hepp-
ner, this is an institution that is
worthy of notice.
The Bank Of Heppner was Or
ganized in August, 1904. The
original capital stock was S25, 1000,
but it was only short time until
it was found that the great in
crease of business made it profit
able to increase the stock to $780,
900.
w. S. Wharton, the cashier, in
forms the Gazette that the net in
crease Of the deposits of the Bank
Of Heppner for the past six months
have amounted to more than 521
per cent.
Owing to the great increase in
business and encouragement given
by Morrow county people, Mr..
Wharton feels that this bank ought
to be strictly Morrow county in
stitution, and to gain this end has
secured personal control of the
stock of the bank. In this he has
been successful and has succeeded
in placing a majority of the stock
with people of this county.
One of Morrow county's sub
stantial citizens who has recently
become heavily interested in the
Bank of Heppner is ". Q. Minor.
Mr.. Minor As breeder of fine
stock, business man and capitalist,
needs no introduction to the people
of Morrow county. Mr.. Minor is
man of large interests in the coun.
ty and the stock holders of the
bank have decided to place him at
the head of the institution in the
chair of president.
