Witbip the past week announce.
ment has been made that in addi.
ton to the S25.0O fare from Mis-
souri, river points, S30.50 from ST.
Louis and $4,000 from Chicago, a
proportionate rate is good from
every point in the United States.
For ins anca, New York $1,000,
Boston, St9.45, Cleveland, $39.45
Birmingham, S4O.25, and Jackson
Vile, $50.75, are given as illustra-
tions. The Portland Commercial
Club has no in the hands Of the
printers, leaflets giving facts about
the city and state in addition to
these rates, and these will be dis
tiibuted at each and all of the
schools. Samples of these leaflets
are available to any reader of this
paper. Oregon should get thirty
thousand new settlers during March
and April.

in h a eregate for the year 1907
was 100000 les THAI for the ca
i1906. For last year the valuation
were $4,000 less than for 1907
At this rate what are We going t.
come to?
1t is a we'll known and undis
puted fact that Morrow county lano
values have, within the past five
or six years increased in value al
least so per can't.
No. only this, but thousands oi
acres of lands newly acquired from
the government have been added
to the taxable property. Eighty
thousand acres of Northern Pacific
railroad land was added in one
lump last year.
The farther we dig down into
our pockets, the better we realize
the fact that values of all the tax
able property have not been looked
after properly.
The person listing the property
from the best information obtain
able should place the values. The
owner has recourse from unjust
valuation before the board Of
equalization.
We believe that at least half of
the taxpayers each year do not
know how much their property is
assessed at Many of them are
never interviewed, and in many
c,ses present ownership is not
known. Every taxpayer should
krow exactly what his property
valuation is placed at.
If left to the owner, it will al
ways be low enough. but if left to
the other fellow the board of equal
ization will have more work.

R. w. Hickok of Heppner has
started a movement to advertise
Morrow County. His plen is to
interview, if possible. every prop
erty owner in the county. First,
to get interest aroused in our own
welfare, and second to raise enough
fund to properly carry GA the
work.
Tue enterprise shown by Mr..
Hickok should be taken up by all
OF our citizens.
1t is no. pleasant thought when
We realize the fac; that the popula-
tion Of Moro county has not in
creased my within the past five
years.
The fact Tat our people are
prosperous, tina, we have a great
territory rich in resources cannot
be successfully denied.
We boast Of the fact that Nor
row county produces more wealth
per capita than any other county
in the state, but still people do not
come here.
There surely must be a reason,
and what is the matter?
Morrow county has not yet reach
Ell high state OF cultivation in her
thousands Of acres of rich wheat
ands, but still we reach well up to ,
he front among the wheat grow
ng counties of the State. The
quality of the wheat is inferior to
lone in the entire Northwest.
Thousands of acres of rich wheat
ands have never been plowed, still
emaining in the immense tracts
bat will some day be cut up into
mailer and more thrifty farms. u

Within the past three weeks the
Portland Commercial Club has sem
out more than seven tons of adver.
tising matter in relation to Port
land and the state in general.
With this immense shipment, Nor.
row county did not send a line.
The present year opens up with
bright prospects. The acreage of
wheat is large and the prospects
for big gram crop We're never
better.
The great stock Industry which
is one of our principal assets, is
looking up. Heppner is one of the
principal wool centers of the state,
and prices for sheep and cattle are
getting better.
This will help to swell bank de-
posits which are larger in Heppner
than any other town in the state of
Its size.
We have prosperous business
men, successful farmers, wealthy
stockmen and heavy bank deposits.
There also must be reason for this
Morrow county lands are cheap,
in fact very cheap.
In Portland and other places you
can find today n large contingent oe
former Morrow county people, COM
fortably retired. They made their
money here.
Morrow county is good country
to live in. A good place to make
money. A good climate to enjoy.
Let us tell other people about it.

CAR CRASHES INTO
POST AT CURLING
Leaves Rails at Curve at Head of
Twentieth Street, While Moving
at High Speed.

One of the Long View cars west
bound left the track at the curve on
Eighteenth avenue and Twentieth
street at $3.50 last night, and crashed
into post. The car was going at a
high rate of speed, and when it struck
the curve it's force sent it from the
rails. 1t hit the post with a force that
broke the timber square off, and the
noise of the impact could be heard for
some distance. The course of the
car was turned by the impact, and It
went about 90 feet further before ii
stopped. The car was somewhat dam.
aged, but fortunately the motorman
sustained no injury. The post was
used to carry both the trolley suspeu
sion wires and the light transmission
wires, and these held it up and kept
the post from falling on the car. The
lawkwardness of the brake mechanism
prevented the motorman from stop
ping the car.
