PUBLIC SCHOOL
CLOSING EXERCISES WE'RE EX-
CELLENT AND INTERESTING.
willis &. McCarty, Mabry Y. Cur.
rim and Opal ID. Briggs
Graduate.

The closing exercises of the
public school were held in the
Christian church and there was
present a large audience of the
representative people of the city.
The exercises were of an excel
lent and interesting nature.
The graduates rendered their
parts in such commendable style
as to reflect credit upon themselves,
their teachers and their parents
and from the profusion of floral
and other gifts there is no ques-
tion of the pride their friends have
in their success as we'll as the re-
spect of the citizens at large.
The two selections Of music, the
instrumental by Mrs. M. B. Metz
Ter and the vocal solo by Mrs. C.
o. Huelat, were of a high order of
art and were greatly appreciated
br the audience. 1t seems to be a
qualification to all thoughtful lov-
ers of artistic accomplishments
that we have among our citizens
those who have attained so high a
degree of culture along those lines
and the mere fact that they are
of our own people should not per-
nit us to be undmindful of their
accomplishments.
The address of the evening by
Victor Doris, pastor of the Chris
tian church at Pendleton, was
rather on the line of a baccalaure-
ate sermon replete with most ex-
cellent advice to the class, the
central thought being high ideal
based upon tie Christian religion
and leading finally to home ir
that house not made with hands.
Every Illustration portrayed the
final triumph of him who has a
course mapped out for life, based on
honor, Justice, truth and right liv-
ing. The higher aims and ideals
of life were set forth in such a
masterful manner as to carry the
wrapped attention of the audience
for over an hour. When we come
to consider the wide range of senti-
ment existing in the minds of men
regarding right living it is remark.
able how Mr.. Doris carried his
audience with him while he laid
out the plain duty of man in such

Sheep and cattle are now enter
ing the Heppner National Forest
in large numbers, in fact the cattle
are already about all in on the al
lotted territory.
Sheep are going IN on trail No,

ber of stock entering the reserve
will fall considerably short OF the
number applying for range.
Superintendent Chidsey has ap-
pointed Arloff A. Stafford, of
Spray, as a ranger for the western
division TO work with Sylvanus
Wright. The rangers are now en-
gagged in marking trails. After
this work is finished patrol work
will be commenced.

ACTIVE WEEK
IN SHIPPING
SHIPMENTS ALREADY EXCEED
THOSE OF LAST YEAR.
In Volume of Business Heppner
Will Outrank any Town of
Its Size i'm Northwest.

AS big shipping center, Hepp-
ner 80 far this season has certain
ly been keeping up her record.
While the main shipping season
was closed this week, still there
will be quite a large number OF
sheep IN small lots yet to 60 this
season. More or less cattle will
be shipped all along during the en-
tire year. In the neighborhood of
1000 head of cattle will be shipped
out within the next week.
As central point for the great
stock interests which naturally
make headquarters here, not to
say anything of the two and one
half million pounds of wool and
two hundred Thousand bushels of
wheat, Heppner will outrank any
town Of it's size in the Northwest
in volume of business as we'll as
the distribution of merchandise.
The stockyards and public dip
ping vats in this city for the past
two weeks have been unusually
busy. Everything has been In ex-
cellent working order and no de-
lays have occurred in any way,
consequently shippers have been
making record time in loading out
stock.
Thousands of sheep have been
put through the dipping watts. UD-
der the personal supervision of DR..
Herbert Sherwood, the efficient
government inspector, the work
has been systematic and thorough
and has gone along like clock
work.
Rea Bros, of Forsythe, Mon
tana, the largest shippers from
this district finished loading out
Monday. This firm shipped from
Heppner 1896 head of sheep.
They market in Chicago and Craze
in transit in Montana. They own
big feed yards in st. Paul.
BickneIl and Oxman are also
large shippers. They have shipped
from Heppner this season 1890
head of sheep. They also market
in Chicago and Craze at Hunting
ton, Oregon. They have 1000
head yet to ship and will also trail
through to Huntington in the
neighborhood of 1000 head.
J. w. Blake has shipped 9,949
head to Caspar, Wyoming, where
he grazes and ships into Chicago
for market.
The 91,722 head of sheep shippd
from Heppner so far this season,
which includes a small local ship
ment are worth at least $270, 900.
For the month of May there
were shipped six cars of wheat,
three cars Of wool and three cars
of cattle.

Roads Need Repair.

Willard Herren came down from
his mountain home at the Willow
creek coal mines, Saturday.
Mr.. Herren states that the grass
is now good and is making rapid
growth on the mountain ranges,
being much better than it was at
this time last year.
The shuckleberry crop will be
large this year, the prospects be-
ing exceptionally good at this time.
Deer are more numerous than
usual and owing to the favorable
weather conditions there will be a
big hatch of grouse.
Mr.. Herren states that the road
from the old Hamilton mill site
Heppner gazette. [volume] (Heppner, Morrow County, Or.) 1892-1912, 1907-05-30

to the Willow creek coal mines
is in good condition, but from the
forks of Willow creek to the old
mill the road is in very bad shape,
in fact it is almost impossible for
heavy loads. Under present con-
ditions it will be impossible to
haul wood from the mountains to
Heppner this fall. Mr.. Herren IS
of the opinion that the road can
be put in fairly good shape at
cost not to exceed SIS. Now is
the time to do the work while the
ground is soft.

We Are Getting a Bad Lot.

Commissioner Sargent's annual re-
port on immigration to the United
States is full of good reading-not
only did more foreigners land on our
shores than during any previous year
In our history. but the ratio of unde-
slrabe new Corners increased in a
marvellous degree. In fact, the En-
glish, Irish, German, French and
Dutch-those from among whom
our ancestors came-seem, generally
speaking, to be staying at home or
going elsewhere
Our big cities are being Hooded with
the scum of Southern Europe. There
is law which fOrbidS activity on the
part of steamship companies ia the
matter of inducing immigration to the
United States, but it is a dead letter.
Mr.. Sargent recommends closer SUI
perYision and strict enforcement of
the law.
Concerning the character of 1906
immigrants, the report says:
Without exception, the countries
from which We formerly Obtained the
greater part of our foreign popula-
ton, and which are inhabited by
races nearly akin to our own. sup

the past year than during l905-Ire-

Texas Is Being Flooded With "Jap.

The japanese invasion OF the Texas
rice belt, where it is claimed the ORR.
entails are revolutiOnizing methods OF

influx of japanese mechanics. A re-
cent dispatch says that the reports re-
ceived from the border by l.. S. Stew

ton for Texas, shows that a total o

Japan are under contract to deliver
nearly 10000 Japs to various Mexico

IN calling the gathering to order
ne chairman explained the chief pur-
nose Of the present movement to be to
saeure the enactment of a federal law
requiring Tue "o00''>
n rciprocal demurrage' Under such
law, the speaker further explained,
ne railroads themselves would be
reralized for failing to provide ship
mars with cars within a reasonable
.imo after their requisition, just as
no shippers are now penalizod for
4ilinc to load cars delivered within a
,sasonable time. Such law, he said,
volld 90 long way toward relieving
,be car shortage now existing, and
would prevent its recurrence and the
enormous accompanying losses in the
future.
The speaker explained that the pres
emf movement is not inimical to the
railroads themselves, but to the car
service abuses which they have al
lowed to grow to such enormous pro
Dortions. For years the roads have
enforced rules to exact demurrage
from shippers for failure to load cars
within q reasonable time. This was
generally recognized as just and cal
culsted to secure prompt shipment
and more satisfactory car service, and
tbe right of the roads to exact this de-
rDurrage under reasonable rules has
seldom been questioned. But when
the roads themselves fail to deliver
! cars requisitioned for loading, and
when shipments are delayed for weeks
and months by reason of the failure
t0plaee cars at the shippers dispoS-
d, the shippers naturally feel that the
rule should work both ways and that
the demurrage should be reciprocal.
The coal and lumber trades are
leading the fight for reciprocal de-
nurrage. Present conditions in the
lumber trade, especially in the South
aad West, are said to be deplorable.
The car shortage problem is causing
enormous financial loss to the lumber
manufacturers and the same applies
bagreater Or lesser degree to the
coal, grain and other trades. Failure
iomake car deliveries has materially
reduced the current receipts Of ship
Rrs' and as a result some of the
strongest concerns in the country have
recently been compelled to borrow
money at heavy interest to handle
aelf payrolls and other obligations.
aosonly are the firms themselves az
Relsd, but their laborers are also
sanerers, SO that the total loss of time
sad money as direct result of the
fallfoads failure to supply cars is in
