Car Lot shipments From Custer.

II A few days ago hearing some parties
declare that there was nothing doing
here, We disagreed with them. Because
the streets are not crowded with teams
all the time it is no sign that the town
is dead; or even sleepeth. 1t may have
been livelier in times past but We see
no cause for complaint as yet. There 10
demand for laborers and no one need
suffer. 1t is only the INCIDENT and
profigate that bewail their fate. While
it may seem somewhat dull there is
something doing all the time. To SUBJ
stantiate our assertion We went TO the
Burlington station and requested the
agent to give us list OF shipments in
carlots from Custer during the month of
November. Agent Chambers kindly
gave us statement Of the products,
number Of cars and desErhation--faures
giving the number of cars-as follows:
Lumber, to Oreville.
Railroad ties, 12 to Sheridan, Wyo.
Lumber, 2 to Hot Springs.
Lumber, to Wanka, s. D.
Lumber, 2 to Ardmore, S. d.
Lumber, to Rushville.
Railroad ties, 2 to Cambria, Wyo.
Lumber, to Republican City, Neb.
Lumber, to Hay Springs.
Lumber, to Rapid City.
Potatoes, to Nahant.
Oats, to Terry.
Oats, to Buffalo Gap.
Cattle, 2 to South Omaha.
Lumber, to Underwood, S. D.
Lumber, to Alliance, Neb.
Shipped from Berne-
Cordwood, to Nahant.
Cordwood, to Crawford, Neb.
Lumber, to Van Meter, S. d.
Railroad ties, 8 to Sheridan, Wyo.
Lumber, to Rapid City.
Lumber, to Phillips.
Shipped from Mayo
Oats, to Dead wood
Cordwood, 2 to Crawford, Neb.
Cordwood, to Nahant.
AS the shipments from Berne and |
Mayo are "bIlled out" from this station, |
We give them also. They may well be
included, for the money received in ex-
change tor these products, or the most
of it at least, is spent in Custer or here
abouts.
If anyone feels 80 inclined and will
take pencil and figure the cost of
above-named products 81. o. b." they
will be amazed at the result At any
rate they will be convinced there is
something doing all the time-although
not always apparent TO the casual eye.

While drifting on the 200 foot level in
the Clara Belle mine small ore Strata
was encountered and was followed up
by Foreman Ruechel. The vein matter
gradually grew stronger and widened
out to several feet with neither wall in
sight vet. The ore contains good mill
ing values but is not of an unusual rich
ness. The drift in which the ore was
found was started from the new shaft

The Children's Home needs help. 1t
has to deal with an increasing number
OF helpless children, and every dollar
sent to the home counts for better man
hood and better womanhood. There
may be some defects but in the main
the Children's Home society is doing
the best possible for the welfare of the
helpless children of the state, and it has
q right to make an appeal for financial
help. Ifthose connected with the home
are willing to spend their time and en-
ergy and life blood to help the children,
the prosperous people of the state ought
TO be willing to supply the funds needed
to bring the results. The Children's
Home needs the financial help of the
prosperous people Of South Dakota. Il
you think the society is doing a good
work, do what you can to help pay 1T
bills.

The new issue of postage stamps will

The new issue OF postage stamps Will
not 60 on sale until January lst, 1909.
About 81 900, 900 worth Of the stamps OF
the first of the new design are being
held in Chicago to be sold there on that
date. In the meantime a change will
he made in the design Of the new 2-cent
stamp. This change has been made nee
essary through the discovery that the
international postal regulations require
that Arabic numerals to denote the de-
nomination of the stamp shall be used,
while the new stamps have only the
words 1.-TWO Cents" on them. These
stamps will be disposed of and no more
Of them made. AS a result there is a
big demand from stamp collectors for
them, and it is possible that greater
part of these 'two-cent" stamps will n OF
90 into use, but will be held by stamp
collectors.

HEPPNER
is DRY
ALL SALOONS CLOSED
ON JULY 1.
Wet Goods Now Scarce in
Morrow County.

In compliance with the local op-
tion law which went into effect
yesterday, every saloon in Morrow
county closed its doors, and the
first drought of this kind that ever
occurred in Morrow county is now
a reality.
Ever since the election on the
first day of June, the saloonmen
have been making preparations
for the event.
Stocks of liquors have been
greatly reduced. Unbroken pack
ages and barrel goods of alcoholic
stimulants have been shipped back
to the wholesalers, while many
mysterious packages, sealed and
unsealed have found their way to
safekeeping IN private hands in
both city and country.
Here in Heppner, nine places
where liquid refreshments were
served, are dark and quiet and a
death like silence reigns supreme.
For the man with that awful
thirst there is absolutely nothing
doing outside of the town pump
where stock will soon be at high
premium.
But there will be plenty of
amusement resorts where soft
drinks, made in the shade, tooth
some ice cream, milk shakes and
other makeshifts or stomach reno
vators can be found galore.
The saloonmen have looked at
the matter philosophically and are
Heppner gazette. [volume] (Heppner, Morrow County, Or.) 1892-1912, 1908-07-02

already turning their attention tc
something else for the use OF val
liable property.
The saloonmen and the people
in general seem to feel relief now
that the agony is over.
Yesterday being the last day be-.
fore the closing law went into eff
feet, was looked to as somewhat of
a holiday and day on which there
would be more or less hilarity, but
the day came and is gone without
any recollectlons Of any difference
from any other hot summer day.
Along a little before - o'clock
last night few giant frecrackers
were set off which aroused few
people from peaceful s)umber, but
as they were Fourth of July dem
onstrations, nothing was thought
of the harmless amusement.
Yesterday was gala day for
movements in empty bottles and
barrels. Dray loads of empty
bottles glstened in the sun and
beer barrels, long since dead were
piled high on stout drays as the
sleep drivers moved them slowly
but ominously toward the land
where they will be of more use
than here in Morrow county.

Lost Money on Frogs.

Dick Neville, the veteran bar
tender, now that the country is
dry, in helping to kill time, is
quite reminiscent.
Dick was here in an early day
and his experiences were varied
and many.
Dick was explaining that this
"dry" spell was even q worse Jolt
to the bartenders than the ir-
stallation of the cash register.
The time that Dick had refer
ence to was many years ago in a
bad grasshopper season and things
were looking little blue.
"I was little worried myself"
said Dick "and was discussing the
grasshopper situation, when Free
Green came along from the John
Day"
II noticed that Green was cor
siderably interested" continued
Dick, land finally Old Free, said:
"Talk about grasshoppers, why
they re nothin' to what I am both
cred"
"How's that?" was the query of
an interested bystander.
why, the shiny green buggers,'
continued Green "are so thick up
at my place that they ride down
my alfalfy in the day time and
make so much noise at night that
on the ranch can get a
wink of sleep.
Dick said "here was an idea for
me and l suggested that we catch
the frogs and supply the Portland
market and make a stake.
well, said Dick, Il sent word
1own to Tom Davidson to send up
4 supply of grasshoppers on which
10 fatten the frogs. In few days
lere came the Davidson boys with
heir mule teams loaded with AS
wool sacks full of hoppers.
Il Immediately sent word out to
Green to bring in the frogs, and
o save the expense of hauling,
Green started to drive in dove
If 100000 by actual count.
Everything hoped along all
light until Green got to Cason can
ron, but when the frogs struck the
lust they scattered and when
Green got to town he didn't have
, single frog.
Now here I was" Dick went on
with all those hoppers on my
lands. An immigront came along
md | hired him to haul the hop
,ers over to UmatiIls county, but
he blamed immigrant turned ii g
,oppers loose up Willow creek a
hort way and 1 not only lost my
noney..but 1 came pretty nearly
,ettiDg mobbed."
