The farmers of our county will GER
tainly reap a splendid harvest of the
golden grain this season. From all
reports that we can gather there is
nothing now that can hinder the har-
vestinR of the biggest crop of grain
ever produced in this county The
season has been an ideal one; the rain
has come Just at the right time; there
has been no hot winds, aud there
were no blighting frosts. The CROPS
have grown and are maturing in splen-
did shape and in few days more the
farmers will be in the fields with their
headers and reapars and gathering in
the grain for the harvest. The soil
is filled with an abundance of mois-
ture-much more in fact than is real
ly necessary for the maturing of the
present crcp. and this leads US to sug-
gest that it would be splendid thing
to commence the work of summerfai-
lowing right now so that this moisture
may ba conserved for use next season.
There is no doubt at all but that the
thorough working Of the ground now,
to be followed up later on by the kill
ing of weeds and keeping the ground
clean and we'll mulched there could be
a good clop next season even though
we do not have half the moisture of
the present season. 1t is gratifying
to know that large number of the
best farmers of the county are doing
this, and it should be universal.
Crops can be raised in this county
every year but our farmers should
learn that there is no profit in half
farming: too many are trying to raise
big crops bv having in large acreage
and this is of course a handicap to the
thorough working of the soil and con-
serving of the moisture. In comDari-
son with other sections of the North
west we have but few weeds. and
some one has stated that it would be
better for our farmers, perhaps, if
they we're afflicted with more weeds
and had to work thier ground the
more thoroughly in order to get rid of
the pests and get a crop. There is
great virtue in working our soil thor
ou0hly and keeping it absolutely clean
of weeds as fast as they come up.
RillinR the weeds mulches the soil
and the moisture is thereby conserved.
We must not trust too much to Provi-
dence in these matters, for the Lord
helps those who help themselves, and

Now as to the need of a new and
up-to-date school building there is no
question at all. People may stand
down on Main street of Heppner and
gaze up at the old structure with pride
swelling their bosoms and feel that
it is sufficient for all present needs rs
we'll as being adequate for many
years to come-aC least until they
have passed off the stage of action
and ceased to be the burden bearers
of the community, but this is not true.
The house is too small today to accom-
odate the growing needs of the school.
There is not room now to properly care
for the High School But this is not
the worst feature. The building is
in an unsafe condition. To prove this
it is only necessary to ask any of the
pupils IN attendance the past wear, or
any of the teachers having charge of
the work. A severe wind will some
day wreck the building entirely, and
this of course is bound to happen
when school is in session, and a catas-
trophe even greater than the Heppner
food will be the result. Dollars and
cents count for nothing against such
contingency as this. A storm the
past sprinR came near blowing this
old she'll down. 1t is not safe build
ing and should be condemned.

now has, to say nothing of what is

has outgrown its present quarters aud

other things laking in this correction
that is not apparent to the casual OBJ
server but loom up big TO those di-
rectly in charge of the affairs of the

provided, and the proper wav to do
this is by authorizing the Directors
to construct a new building that will
take care of the present needs and
care for the future as well. Come to
think of it the future will have a
good deal to do with the paying of
these bonds, and of course their needs
must be cared for.

The present bonded indebtedness of
the district is $4,000. The present
school building was constructed twenty
years ago and the district bonded in
the sum of $4,000 to help pay for it.
These bonds matured some FIVE years
ago without anv provision having
been made for thier liquidation so it
became necessary to make other ar
rangements. The district had on
hand at the time IN the general fund
$4,000, and a new issue of bonds was
floated in the sum of $4,000, the State
of Oregon taking the bonds at six per
cent. For the past three years or q
little better, the School Board has
been providing a sinking fund to meet
these bonds at maturity, upon the
basis of one-half mill tax. There
is on hand in the sinking fund at this
time nearly SO 90 to be applied toward
the liquidation of this debt. Surely
no one has felt the burden of taxation
in this connection, and had the for
mer boards of directors prscticed the
good business judgment that they
were want to apply to their affairs.
this old debt would have been wiped
out at the time of maturity of the first
bond issue.

THURSDAY. June 20, ..191;

The Board of Directors of the Hepp-
ner school upon being petitioned by
twenty of the legal voters of the dis
trict to do so have called an election
for bonding the district in the sum of
$40 900 to purchase a new site and
construct new school house. The
election is to be held on July End 4,
and at this writing is arousing no
little interest. In fact there is devel-
oping considerable opposition to the
bonding proDosition, tho up to date
but little, of any, argument has been
produced as to why it should not be
done. So far as we are able to ascer-
tain it is sort Of poverty arRu-
meat presented by number of people
of the town who ought to be the last
ones 20 oppose a move of this charac-
ter. They are afraid to have the in
crease of taxation; seem to think
that the $40 900 will have to be paid
in few years. whreaes the bonding
proposition concentrates twenty
year loan with the privilege OF exten-
sion at that time of another twenty
wears if it should be found necessary
to do so. True, it means the pay
ment OF some interest and this will
have to be met each year, and will
be upwards of $1,000, providing the
bonds can be floated at five per cent
interest rate. To meet this expense
will require very small levy on the
assessible property If the district
which is now near 81 500 600. 1t will
not be necessary to begin the provis-
ion of sinking fund for at least ten
years, so no additional levy will be
required to take care of the principal.

Then there is always the question
of health that confronts the patrons
of the Heppner school. Some are
inclined to make light of this feature
but it is nevertheless one of the great
considerations. Manv parenst OF this
town can testify to the ill results to
health of young girls just coming into
womanhood, because of the terrible
daily climb to the school house. 1t
is no less than criminal to perpetuate
such a coalition, and for anyone to
look upon this side of the question in
fiippant manner and without due
consideration, shows that they are not
giving a serious question its proper
place. Every parent in this town
should line up for the new school
building on this question alone if no
other reasons prevailed. This should
especially appeal to the mothers of
the town, and it no doubt does. Vote
to get that house down off the hill
In the agitation for the new school
building there is no call for misrep-
resentatiun on the part of any one. Ii
you are against it. it should be for
good reasons. There is certainly no
disposition on the part of any one to
bull this thing through and least
of all considerations is any personal
interest. 1t is move for the benefit
of the public, and if the people of the
district authorize the bond issue,
which they undoubtedly will, the
School Board will work constantly to
the end that everv dollar will bring
value received in the shape of a sDlen-
didly built and equipped house. 1t is
estimated that it will cost $500 to
buy new lot, and require about $4,000
for furniture and equipment. The
house itself should be built for about
1872 ,OoO 1t should not require above
this sum. Now If you are a taxpayer
and patron of this school, get busy
and figure out what it is going to cost
you in taxes additional to what YOU
are now paying to have this much
needed Improvement. 1t may sur
prise you to find that the burden will
be light, and that the work can be
accomplished and cared for in an easy
way.

One of the Greatest Letter Writers in
the World

In the September American Magazine
appears an interesting article about Dam
iel Kiefer, famous singletaxer who
is secretary of the Fels fund and who
is said to write as many letters as
any man in the world. These letters
are directed to people everywhere and
are in the interest of single tax Fol.
lowing is an extract from the article:
His offices in the Commercial IribuSe
building in Cincinnati are stacked with
printed matter, and he carries on an
immense correspondence all over the
world 10 has been estimated that every
third man in those countries covered
by the postal treaties receives every
circular letter from Daniel
Kiefer, calling his attention TO the phil
osophy of Henry George, and request .
ing contribution to some one of the
causes in sympathy with that philos-
ophy, and always, in the end, pointing
out the single tax as the hope of man.
He was thus in the budget fight in
England, in the propaganda for tax,
ing land values in Oregon and Canada
and Australia, and in the direct legis-l
Iation campaign everywhere. This
prodigious labor, carried on ceaselesslyi
lay and night, year in and year out,
requires enormous energy, perseverance,,
devotion, faith. He never rests, never
takes vacations, has no other inter
