BIG WHEAT
MARKET
Heppner Will Handle 400.
900 Bushels of Wheat.
Thousands of Acres OF Rich Tribu-
tary wheat Lands That
Have Never Been PlOxyed.

Heppner will, this season, handl
100000 bushels of wheat.
The long cherished idea tha
Heppner would some day handl
a large amount Of wheat is today
before it is hardly realized, an alb
solute fact.
And still there are thousands O
acres of rich lands tributary tha
have never been plowed.
Owing to Morrow county's i'm.
mense crop and the backward har.
vest caused by unfavorable wealth
er, scarcity of labor and machin-
cry to handle the big crop, max
ing harvest very late. it is almost
impossible at this time to Eget any
thing like an accurate estimate of
the crop of the entire county.
In estimating the yield of the
Heppner district, the estimate is
based upon the actual number of
sacks that have been engaged and
have been taken out by the farm
ere. Yields in almost every in
stance have been going be. onl the
estimates of the farmers prior to
threshing and it is not unlikely
that the present estimate will be
sw 4lled considerably when the
wheat is threshed.
This is sthe first season that
sacks have ever been received in
Fl ,ppner in car load los.
1t is said that some Of the farm
ers will be until next harvest in
getting this years crop to market.
The seeding season is now here
and it will rustic many of the
farmers to get their grain threshed
and the fall seeding done before
winter sets in. This will leave a
of farmers with four and
five thousand sacks of wheat with
none hauled to market when snow
flies.
The heavy rains of the past
week have been discouraging. Har-
vest operations that are already
ate have been seriously retarded. |
While the damage has not been
great, still there will be slight |
oss and future conditions depend
sntirely upon the weather.

section Of the state, and, as the people
have habit of generally getting what
they go after, there is but little doubt
that the proposed railroad will be built
in the near future, If not this summer.
Let us help the good work on by using
our influence, If not our finances, to
boost this worthy enterprise.
We would also suggest that the pro-
moters confer with the promoters of
the proposed farmers road that is to
be built this summer, running through
Harvey township in Cavalier county
and connecting with the Great North
ern at Osnabrock, and try to induce
them to connect with the line running
from Edinburg to the cement mines.
Plan Feasible.
4 glance at the map shows at once
the feasibility of the suggestion. In
the first place. the proposed farmers
road could connect with the cement
line at Mclean in Cavalier county,
thus giving the farmers road a much
better territory and shortening the
distance they would have to build to
get an outlet for their line by about
one-third of the distance, besides CIV
ing us a road running parallel with
the Great Northern from Edinburg to
the boundary line. Such road would
traverse one of the richest agricultural
sections of the state and would un-
doubtedly be a paying proposition to
the stockholders. Let us take this
matter up and see what can be done.

keeping for itself, the history Of the
marriage of England and Scotland ia
not without Its bearing on what might
he termed the divorce evil of nations.
The romance which eliminated in
the union of the Thistle and the Rose
had its beginning when James vi of
Scotland became king of Scotland as
James l. He was the only child of
Mary Queen of Scots and when she
was forced to retire from the throne
of Scotland the infant was solemnly
crowned as her successor. He sue
ceeded to the throne of England upon
the death of Queen Elizabeth in 1903.
During the hundred years that fol-
lowed his accession Scotland retained
separate parliament, and, although
owning allegiance to the same ruler, 1t
was treated by England in all CONNER
cial relations as foreign nation.
For time the union of the crowns
had the effect Of putting an end to the
bitter warfare that had been waged be-
S"SSAA VIC WV NOuAIAAS0 AOA VCuLuI1cSs
Toward the beginning of the eight
eenth century this feeling of enmity
between Scotchmen and Englishmen
again became in evidence. Scottish
shipping in the Thames was seized by
the English and the Scottish govern
ment retaliated by selling English mer-
chant vessels in the Forth. 1t was
then that King William III began TO
advocate closer union between Eng
land and the nation beyond the Tweed.
In this project he had the assistance
of patriotic statesmen of both coun-
tries, but, owing to the bitter opposi-
ton of France and of the English mer-
chants who were jealous of those of
Scotland, he died without having ac-
complished his purpose.

For years the attempt to unite the
two countries was carried on unsuc-
cessfully. Every possible obstacle was
placed in the way by the French gov
ernment, menacing the northern bor-
der of the latter in case of war. The
manufacturers and shippers of Eng
land were strong in their opposition to
any such union, which would give their
hated rivals. the Scots, the same COM
mercial advantages enjoyed by them
selves. Many Scotchmen also opposed
the union, fearing that 1t would result
In loss Of the country's individuality
and the abolition of its time-honored
customs and ancient institutions.
1t was during the reign of Queen
Anne that the union was finally con-
summated, the act of the parliaments
of the two nations receiving her sig
nature In March of 1907. In the Scot
fish parliament the treaty was ratified
by vote Of ITO for and 60 against it,
and the opposition in the English par
lament was even smaller. The treaty
agreed that each country was to re-
tain its own established church and its
own code of laws. The Scotch par
lament was abolished and Scotland re-
ceived sexteen seats in the house of
lords and forty-five seats in the house
OF commons, the latter representation
having been gradually increased to
seventy-two members at the present
time. All trade restrictions were re-
moved and free commercial intercourse
established. The crown was settled
upon the descendants of Queen Anne,
and, failing them, upon the protestant
house of Hanover. The national debt
was satisfactorily adjusted, and the
union which has continued for two
hundred years was finally completed.

Is no doubt but that for many the
enjoyment of the Exposition will be
heightened by this novel way of get
ting there.
Taking the northern route the motor
boat can reach the Mississippi through
any one of the hundreds of navigable
tributaries on the western or eastern
side. In this manner the motor boat
could come from almost the very sum-
init of the Continental Divide. Going
up the mississippi to point just above
st. Louis, the motor boatman will enter
the Illinois river and proceed up the
waterway to the entrance of the Chi
cago canal, through the canal reach
ing Lake Michigan. Here he can SEMI
hissboat around through the Straits OF
Mackintc, Lake Huron and Lake st.
Clair to Detroit in charge of his aclp-
er, II he should care to make this
stage of the journey by other means.
This trip through the Straits of Mack
mac is we'll worth while, however.
Proceeding through Lake Erie to Buff
falo he will enter the Erie cana! :nd
journey to the Hudson river to AL
bany, or If he finds this part not to
his liking, can go by train to that
point. The trip through the historic
Mohawk valley can be much more fully
appreciated by taking the boat, aud
will thoroughly repay any extra trou-
BILE caused by taking it.
Once on the Hudson river the cru!s..
er will find plenty of similar boats
and her owner will be delighted with
the scenery and life of the noble river.
Leaving the Hudson at New York he
will go through Newark bay to the
Raritan river and through the Rari:an
canal to the Delaware river. At D.: -

leave the Delaware and proceed

London, March THE bicentennial
OF the union between England and

both sides of the Tweed with almost
universal rejoicing. In all the cities

celebrations are being held, bonfires
have been lighted and the anniversary
has been made the occasion of a ma

That the union contracted Just two

law uniting her to Great Britain in

nation days of war and bloodshed,
when two peoples designed to dwell to-

premacy, are now gone beyond recall.
Scotland and England combined have
played an important role in the affairs
of the world which neither could have
accomplished separately. Together
they have worked for peace and have
supplied commendable example of
the desirability of arbitration in inter-
national disputes. The grandeurs Of
the British empire had its foundation

two separate peoples put aside the in

Edinburg Tribune: If plans now I'M

ing summer will witness the building
of a twenty-one mile railroad from the
plant of the Pembina Portland Cement
company in Olga township, Cavalier
county, to Edinburg, connecting with
the Great Northern road at this place.
MIR. Campbell, owner of the cement
mines, is back of the enterprise and
proposes to form what is to be called

with a capital stock of 100000. Ac-
cording to the prospectus sent to all
farmers within four miles of the pro-
posed railroad route, who are invited
to become stockholders, the annual in
come from freight and passenger traf-
fic will amount to $4,000, which, after
deducting expenses. promises yearly
dividend of eight per cent.
The Promoter. Mr.. Campbell. has
been holding meetings among the farm
ers along the proposed railroad route
and it is understood that nearly $780,
900 has been subscribed thus far. An
enthusiastic meeting was held last
week at Mountain. which is to be
passed through by the road.
Tricky SScttled.
The country to be traversed by this
railroad is quite thickly settled by
well-to-do farmers who now have to
go a distance of from five to fifteen
miles to ma rket and conSeunently they
appreciate the advantage of railroad
near their farms. Mountain, Gardar
and Edinburg will no doubt be benefit
ed more or less by the new railroad.
and it is quite likely that a new town
of considerable size will spring up at
the mines, which yearly produce large
quantities of the best Portland cement
and only lack railroad facilities to gain
a worldwide market.
