The income OF the United States
Steel Corporation is drawn from n
great many sources, only about one
half OF the gross revenues coming
from the steel industry proper. The
total production OF the company last
year was about 100000 tons OF fin
ished and semi-fnished steel, and the
average price of the product was
about s33 per ton. Thus the gross in
come from steel was s363.000 while
the total income as reported, was
about $655,000,000. Transportation is
the chief of the subsidiary activities
of the corporation. The main line of
the steel company's railroad COM
prises $40 miles of track and the total
mileage Is nearly $500 miles. The
company also owns 80 steamers and
113 barges which are engaged in ore

Is Slowly Recovering.

Mrs. A. E. Patterson arrived
home on Saturday evening from
Seattle, bringing with her hel
sister, Mrs. F. M. Bowman, and
also accompanied by her sister and
husband, Mr.. and Mrs. ]. Nc
Dewitt. Some three weeks ago,
at Seattle, Mrs. Bowman was the
victim of an auto accident which
came very near costing her life;
in fact it was reported at Hepp-
ner that she had died from the
effect of her injuries, but this re-
port later proved to be untrue.
The accident was caused by the
giving away of the grade on which
they were at the time and the
machine turned turtle, Mrs.
Bowman being caught beneath it.
Her left leg was broken between
the knee and hip, the bone being
split nearly its full length, and
she was otherwise severely in
jured. She will remain in Hepp-
ner until restored to health, and
is slowly progressing toward re-
covery. Mrs. Bowman was for
merly a resident of Heppner and
has many friends here who great
ly sympathize with her in this
trouble and wish for her speedy
restoration to health.

A Gift With a Thought
In 1t.

What other Christmas present
costs so little and means so much
as a subscription to The Youths
Companion So weeks for $1.75?
1t is a gift which benefits not
only the one who receives it, but
every member of the same house
hold.
With many Christmas presents
the sense of novelty wears off by
the weeks end, but The Youth S
Companion is as new and sought
after the fifty-second week of the
year as the first. 1t is elastic in
its adaptability, too; for it does
not matter whether the present
is for boy or a girl, young mar
ried people, sedate couples, grand
parents-there never was one yet
who did not set store by The
Youth S Companion. You cannot
make a mistake if you give The
Companion and it is only 81. rs
a year now. On January l, 1912,
the price will be advanced to
$500.
The one to whom you give the
subscription will receive free The
Companions Calendar for 1912,
autographed in ten colors and
gold, and you, too, as giver of the
subscription, will receive a copy
of the Calendar.

A Pioneer Stockman.

John Shaw, Of Mcdonald Can
yon was doing business In Hepp-
ner on Saturday and while in a
a reminiscent frame Of mind lined
up the Gazette man to inform
him that he is the proud fatherlof
a bouncing boy that arrived on
the 18th Of October. This young
man has been named Robert c..
Shaw in honor of his uncle, Robert
Shaw, who is now a member Of
the Canadian parliament from
Alberta, and was at one time
asses s5or of Morrow County.
John is mighty proud of this new
yCun yster and feels that he has
about reached the zenith of his
earthly joys. Mr.. Shaw is ma
tive Oregonian, having been born
in Roseburg, and his residence in
Morrow County extends over a
period of 43 years, during much
of which time he has been extern
sively engaged in the stock bus
mess. He is entitled to be called
a pioneer.

Distressing Accident.

Mrs. Walter 0. Hill met with a
distressing accident at the Chris
tan church on Friday evening,
just following the closing of the
social. She was busily engaged
in helping clear up the tables and
had picked up a hand fullo dish
es. On turning to start for the
kitchen she tripped against a leg
of the tables and fell, striking a
chair and cutting an ugly cash
on her jaw which it was necces-
sary to have stitched by the doc
ter. The fall was an unusually
hard one, and it would have taken
but little more force to break the
Jaw bone. AS a consequence
Mrs. Hill has been confined to
her home since and compelled to
live on broth.

New Course in Rural
Hygiene.

"The farmer ordinarily gives
far more attention to the health
of his stock than to that of him
self and family" said Prof. T.
D. Beckwith, of the bacteriology
department Of the Oregon Agri-
cultural College, in speaking OF
the course on rural hygiene to be
inaugurated this winter during
the short course.
"The point that the health of
the people may be recognized in
dollars and cents to the commun-
ity escapes the average citizen in
his mad scramble for more evi-
dent wealth, +" he continued.
For example, it is computed that
the annual loss to the United
States through human tuberculo-
sis amounts to $500, 900, 900 which
is approximately three-fourths
the value of the entire wheat
crop of the country. This i'm
mense annual loss, about IS per
cent of which is preventable, is
due solely to carelessness and ig-
norance of the most rudimentary
rules of life and health. Ofvast-
ly greater importance than the
loss is the pain and suffer-
ing most of which can be pre-
vented by a little care and know
ledge"
The short course lectures, which
will be Illustrated with stereop-
ticon views, will cover such sub
jects as water supply Especially
from wells), their location and
construction as to health; sani-
tary methods of sewage disposal,
the use of and abuse of septic
tanks; transmission of disease,
such as tuberculosis and typhoid;
flies and germ carrying; cause of
colds and grippe and other cpl
denies.

1t Pays.

From six head Of cows, com
mon stock at that, Henry F.
Blahm sold cream in October tC
the amount Of $50.75. This was
the creamery check. Henry has
not been giving the dairy business
any especial attention and these
COWS have received no feed other
than that gathered from the pas
ture, and he figures this income
as all profit. He is now going
into the business on a more ex-
tensive scale and has added IA
Jersey heifers that will be fresh
in the spring, to his milk herd.
This stock was purchased on Sat
urday from Charley Pointer, Of
Lexington, and is good stock, be-
ing in the main registered cattle.
When it is taken into considera-
ton that Mr.. Blahm has made no
speciality of handling stock that
produces butter fat to any extent,
and that he has not fed his COWS
with this end in view, his show
ing is certainly good, and is an
Illustration Of what from 40 to so
more farmers in the vicinity of
Heppner might be doing.

To The Pen.

Sheriff Hayes departed on Sat
urday morning for Salem, having
in charge Walter Conlin for com
mitment to the penitentiary.
This was Morrow county's only
contribution to the State penal
institution for the November
term of court, and he goes to
serve a sentence from one to five
years. Conlin admitted to par
ties here that he had served time
in the pen before, and he is evi-
IDENTIFY no novice in crime, as evi-
denced by some of the smooth
tricks he tried to work while in
jail here. Before leaving he
stated that he had secreted an
iron bar in the jail and he defed
Deputy Rasmus to find it. He
had previously shown this instru-
ment to Jake Dexter who was
in the Jail, but Rasmus
and Judge Patterson failed to
locate iton Saturday after Conlin
had left. What he intended do
ing with this piece of iron is only
a matter of conjecture.

A Beautiful Token.

At the regular stated communi
cation of Heppner Lodge No. SO,
F.& A. M. on Saturday evening,
following the regular order OF
business, P. O. Borg was pleas
antly surprised in the presenta-
tion to him by the lodge ofa beau
tiful Past Masters jewel. Frank
Gillian made the presentation
speech and this was feelingly re-
sponded to by Mr.. Borg. The
jewel itself is of IA karat solid
gold of beautiful design and ap-
propriately embellished with
signs of the order and bears on
the front inlaid in blue, the words
"Heppner No. SO, F. & A. NJ, +"
and elegantly engraved on the
reverse side the inscription Pre-
sented to P. 0. Borg, Nov. Is,
1911" Mr.. Borg will wear this
jewel on appropriate occasions
with a great deal of pride, and it
will become a highly priced heir
loom in the Borg family; a just
tribute to a very worthy brother
of the order.

DR.. M. B. METZLER
COMMITS SUICIDE.
Community Is Shocked By
Tragic End of Dentist.

: Heppner was greatly shocked OF
/. learning early yesterday morning
Tat DR.. NJ. B. Metzler had taken his
life.
Eor some days past he had been
drinking heavily-In fact had not
been sober for some time While in
this condition, Mrs. Metzler was
afraid to he at home alone with him,
and on Tuesday evening she went to
the home of Dr. Boyden where she
remained all night, returning to her
home about Z O'Clock on Wednesday
morning.
DR. Metzler had come home a little
after midnight, as he was heard to
come into the house by near neigh
bors, went upstairs and evidently
prepared to go to bed as he had TAX
en- Off his shoes and trousers. From
| the appearance and position of the
! body when found, he evidently sat
down on the edge of the bed, took
his % special rifle and discharged the
same at his head, the ball entering
the right side about an inch and a
half above the ear and passing out
over the left ear. The body fell over
onto the floor in heap between the
beG and the wall, where it was dis
covered by Mrs. Metzler on her re-
turn
Mrs. Metzler came home and went |
upstairs to see if the doctor had |
come in during the night, and MOTTO
ing that the bed was unoccupied,
concluded he did not, and returned
down stairs to light the fire and
start breakfast. In a few moments
their dog came down stairs whining
and indicating that something was
wrong, and Mrs. Metzler concluded
to take another look, and found her
husband as above stated She i'm
mediately aroused her neighbors by
her screams, and the news of what
had happened soon spread.
Coroner Chick was Immediately
notified and arrived from lone about
ten o'clock After looking into the
case he decided it was a clear case OF
suicide. No letters or word of any
nature was left by the deceased but
from what he has said at different ,
times to friends, it was known that I
he had threatened to take his life if
he could not quit the drink.
The tragic end of DR. Metzler is
not only severe shock to his faith {
'ul wife, but to the entire community I
rs well. He was a man of excellent =
ability ,and in his profession could
EASILY take place at the head, as he
was known to be one OF the very 5
BEST dentists on the Pacific coast.
But, as with many another good {
md capable man, his enemy was :
lrink. He had battled against the
awful curse for years and tried hard
% overcome the appetite but did not
succeed. He carried insurance OF
., 900 fin the Bankers Life.
Funeral services will be held from
he Episcopal church on tomorrow,
md burial will be conducted by the L
1lks, of which order he was a men, r
)er. G
