Real Happiness

"As to what they think would
contribute most to their happiness,
said Mr.. Thwillglimlow, men differ,
according to their fancies or their
or point of view, thinking that with
wealth they could compass every
desire, a very widelyheld delusion.
Some men think they'd be happy
with rank and power; giving them
elevation over their fellows and COM
mand.
Some would be happy if they
could give full, sway to their phil
anthropic impulses to benefit their
fellow man.
Some would be happy if they
could earn little home, a modest
house and lot that they could call
their own.
Some there are who fancy their
happiness would be complete if they
could have a catboat or motor
marine vehicle; men have widely
various ideas about this; and then
many of them when they get what
they want find themselves sadly
mistaken, that happiness is still afar'

Why THIS OPPOSITION.

There seems to be a misunder-
SsKnding on the part OF some, of the
nature and purposes OF the Morrow
CDunty Boost Club. We are informed
that the committee canvassing for
AID to the publicity fund for properly
exploiting the resources OF the coun-
~ in order to attract the attention
a immigrants and capitalists to its
many advantages, is meeting with
come very unreasonable opposition.
At Is urged by some that it is only
n move on the part of some of the
esssSiness men of Heppner to boost
tlae town and their own business at
flze expense of the country, and
81 hers look upon ita solely a scheme
os Are real estate men to increase
tteir own business regardless of the
Interests of others.
Now the reason Of this opposition,
T. our mind, is not far to seek. 1t
Is found in the great preponderance
81 selfshness in the average human
being He is not prepared to con-
slsieT any proposition unless he can
Fee in it some direct material advan-
aage.to himself His vision is cir
cumscribed within the narrow
bounds Of his own requirements.
PIE is Ike the old man, who. in his
deVotions prayed. Lord. bless me
aud my wife, my son John and his
vile, Us four and no more" There
T. a certain degree Of this seIfshness
N all Of us and it would, perhaps. be
saying too much to claim that the
promoters Of the Boost Club are en-
tlreiy exempt from its vile contami-
Hation. but the difference between
the booster and the non-booster is,
She former has a vision while the
latter has not.
The booster sees how, by the exer-
Heppner gazette. [volume] (Heppner, Morrow County, Or.) 1892-1912, 1910-12-22

else of some energy, the expenditure
OF some cash and ajudlclous course
OF advertising, the population of the
county can be increased one hundred
per cent within the next two years,
and how, In a short time, our eX-
ports will be vastly enhanced by tho
introduction of new industries
and further development OF natural
resources. For instance, the booster
sees no necessity for sending to Hood
River for Strawberries, apples and
potatoes when just as good quality
can be produced at home In almost
unlimited quantities II the same care
is given to their rcultivatlon. He can
see, also, In the not very distant fu-
ture, Morrow County of twenty
or twenty-five thousand population,
the great majority Of whom, by sci
entltic cultivation OF the soil, are a
prosperous and happy people.
The throng OF desirable citizens
who are looking for homes In this
great Northwest never have a
thought Of Morrow County simply
because their attention has never
been called to 1t. They are not
aware that they can purchase farm
lands here at much lower figure,
all things considered, than anywhere
else in the State. They know moth
ing Of the fertility OF our soil, our
climatic conditions, our forests of
mountain timber, our undeveloped
alter power, and many other re-
sources only awaiting the advent of
capital and industry to develop
them. And all this just because. we
have not thought it worth while to
get out into the lime light and beck
on these good people to come this
way. The best time to do anything
that is worth doing at all is NOW.
BY and by will be too late. Get |
busy NOW! Every man and woman
in the county should get a move on
them for "a greater Morrow County"
NOW.

What Our Exchanges Say
About Us.
wAIrsBURa TIMrs

Our old friend Vawter Crawford,
who has been a resident Of Heppner,
Ore, for many years, has purchased
the Heppner Gazette which, by the
way, is the oldest paper In Morrow
County. Vawter is an old Waits
burg boy and received his first less
ons in journalism" In this office.
He served his apprenticeship as
printers devil" commencing as
roller-boy on our old Washington
hand-press, later becoming proficient
in all the mechanical part OF making
a country newspaper. Vawter Is a
practical printer, knowing the busi-
ness from the rground up" and be-
ing also a natural booster he win
make good. THE TIMES takes
special interest In wishing for Vaw-
ter Crawford abundant success.

We who have reached the meridian
a life, or passed little beyond, can
we'll remember when away back
Ec@der in childhoods early morning
how very long it seemed from one
Christmas to another. But now
aAey follow each other in such rapid
succession that we are almost
amazed at their frequent occurrence.
We have come to measure time by
eTents. We are absorbed with the
interests that engage our minds, and
take mo- note of time and its flight,
ghere are times when our daily oc-
equations seem wearisome and the
bOMrs long, bat when we are sur
rounded by congenial companions,
or our minds engaged in the study
~ contemplation OF some subject
zhat interests us, how swiftly pass
1he hours. AS we advance in life the
range of our observation and inter
tSs Is broadened, and so crowded
with matters which engage our at
sention, that time seems to fly much
more rapidly than it did when we
were in the hey-day OF youth.
But Christmas is here again. The
Christmas spirit is in the air. Its
Dezefcent influence is stirring our
hearts and young and old are COM
ing under its spell. The advertise
ISenrs, the shop windows, the
a1rongs of busy shoppers, the mys-
aeEious packages hidden away, the
hequent whispered interviews, the
knowing looks interchanged be-
tween those who are in the secret,
the shining faces OF the boys and
girls we meet upon the street-all
bear witness to the fact that Christ.
Tlss has come again.
OF COURSE this all has a special
fascination for the children, but it
appeals to us all. "There is about
it the charm OF mystery, the tonic OF
and acontagion ofgood
cheer which appeals to the child
haa.Tl. 1t is pre-eminently the child
mnvs festival"

Oregon has population of 672, ,765
according to the figures of the thir-
teenth census, an increase OF 62.7 per
cent over ten years ago, when the
state had 413, ,536. Theincrease in 20
years has been ia per cent. The
gain shown by the census figures en-
titles Oregon to another representa-
tive in Congress two years hence,
even if the ratio of representation is
increased, in accordance with Gus
tom. The financial condition OF the
State, as shown by the State treas
urer's report, is in excellent condi-
ton, their being $424,913 on hand,
with no debts, bonded or otherwise.
New Industries are being estab-
lished and Oregon products are
sought after even in foreign lands.
Europe and Asia are calling for our
fruits. Even Siberia is buying our
apples--a shipment OF choice Hood
River apples being recently sent
there for sale; and a hundred boxes
OF Comice pears raised near Medford
sold on the London market for $40 a
box.
Rogue River orchardists will plant
] 100000 pear and apple trees this
season. This new planting will
cover 10000 acres and bring the total
orchard acreage OF that valley up to
SO, ,0C0 acres.
This is only an Indication OF what
is being done in other parts of the
State and shows that Oregon is rap
idly coming into her own.
