oUR HOME PEOPLE.

Automobile owners in Portland
are receiving catalogues which in
vite them to buy auto supplies from
Sears, Roebuck & Company in Seat
tie.
Why buy In Seattle? II, after re-
ceipt the purchases are not satisfac'
tory, can the buyer afford to go tc
Seattle to make an exchange or get
his money back?
Have Sears, Roebuck & Company
of Seattle ever paid any taxes, or en-
ployed any workers, or contributed
anything to the gayety or progress
of Portland?
II we take counsel from the cata-
logues and buy auto supplies, buy
-four, buy clothing, buy furniture and
buy the other things we need in Sc
attic, what will happen to Portland ?
Our home people, our neighbors,
our friends. including the home deal.
ers in automobile supplies, make
Portland, sustain Portland, nourish
Portland, enrich Portland, and it is
not Seattle, but Portland that gives
every one of us our living, our homes
and our hopes.
Whenever we take the advice of
the catalogues and buy of Sears, Roe
buck & Company in Seattle, we strike
an indirect blow at ourselves. The
true gospel Of life is to do business
with our own home people for it is
through our own home people that
we survive.
The above is from a recent issue
of the Portland Journal, and to it
we say amen.
But how about the people Of Hepp-
ner and vicinity that think it neces-
sary to turn down our home mer-
chants and buy their provisions,
clothing, ETC., from Jones Cash Store,
Rice & Phelan, and some other cat
alogue houses of Portland?
We would put emphasis on the
paragraph above, to make it apply
locally: Our home people, our neigh
bors, our friends, including the home
dealers in automobile supplies, make
Heppner, sustain Heppner, nourish
Heppner, enrich Heppner, and it is
not Portland or Seattle or Chicago,
that gives every one of us our living,
our pleasure, our homes and our
hopes"
1t is not the catalogue houses of
these places that pay our taxes and
help to keep up our institutions, yet
they are sapping our section of thou
sands of dollars every month, and
the time is not far distant if this
drain continues that the merchant
in the smaller country towns will
have to retire from business, and
then the good people who have been
Saving money" on the catalouge
houses will look to their "benefac-
tors" to step in and help us bear our
local burdens of taxation and inl-
provements.
Yes, we indorse the sentiments of
the Journal, and assure the big city
daily that the small town has
troubles Of it's own" along these
same lines.

Where The West Begins.

tArthur Chapman in Denver Republi-
CAM ,.,
out where the hand clasps little
stronger,
Out where a smile dwells little long
er,
That's where the West begins.
Out where the sun is little brighter,
Where the SHOWS that fall are trlhe
whittier.
Where the bonds of home are wee bit
tighter
That's where the West begins.
Out where the skies are a tritie bluer
out where friendships little truer,
That's where the West begins.
Out where a fresher breeze is blowing,
Where there's laughter in every
streamlet flowing,
Where there's more of reaping and less
of sowing
That's where the West begins
Out where the world is in the making,
Where fewer hearts with despair are
aching
That's where the West begins.
Where there's more of singing and less
of signing,
Where there's more Of giving and less
of buying,
And man makes friends without half
trying
That's where the West begins.

BIGGEST IN THE WORLD
New Telescope win Bring Moon With
In 40 Miles.

Boston. Mass. June "A 26-ton
telescope with a 100 inch reflector.
which is expected usually to bring the
moon within 40 miles of the earth. Is
being constructed at the Fore River
Ship building plant for Mount Wilson
observatory. This will be the worlds
largest telescope and already nearly
five years have passed since the first
steps in the designing and building
were undertaken. The tube is 43
feet long and a touring car could pass
through the outer shell with ease. The
total weight of the mounting Is $50
tons.
So large is the mounting that no
factory except one equipped for gigan-
tic tasks could handle it and so 1t hap
pens that machinery used in putting
battleships together il assembling this
monster telescope.
When completed the tube will be
shipped in five ton parts to Mount
Wilson, Calf, and be loaded at the
foot of the mountain on trucks to be
carried to the top.

DELk after devil
Topeka Evangelist Aroused
Mountainoors in Kentucky.
Bullet From Hills splinterz
Organ Under His Feet.

Kingsmountain. KY. June 2.-Gen-
eral James L. Delk. evangelist Of To-
peka. Kan, has stirred this little
mountain settlement with the most
remarkable revival series in its his
tory. He has been fired upon by en-
with conducting Illicit distilleries. and
has concluded his meetings after
bringing mere than q hundred per-
sons into the row Of penitents in the
front Of the little Methodist church
which has been turned over to him for
his evangelistic services.
From here Delk goes into neighbor-
ing towns for other meetings for
which he has been invited on the
strength Of the interest aroused by his
spectacnlar endeavors here. On the
night when bullet from q mountain-
GERS rifle splintered the organ on
which Delk was standing in the midst
OF fervid exhortation. there was q
panic. There was q rush for the doors
and firearms were uncovered. 1t look
meeting would be broken up:
but the evangelist commanded
his listeners to return to their
pews and compelled those who had
brought firearms with them to bring
them up and lay them at the foot of
the pulpit. Then he proceeded with
his sermon and the meeting closed
with greater number Of confessions
than at any previous time.
Mounting to the top Of the organ or
even to the top Of his pulpit, itself.
Delk has used more spectacular meth
DDS than were ever seen in a religious
meeting. AS an emotional preacher
his local reputation surpases that of
the Rev. Sam Jones or Billy Sunday.
both OF whom are well known in this
part of the country. He is q rabid
fighter Of sin and the devil and his
realistic pictures of the objects of his
assault have moved the inhabitants
OF Kingsmountain as they have never
been stirred by a preacher of the gos-
pei. Delk has been particularly cour-
ageous In attacking the reactionary
elements in this community and has
openly charged the cultivation of op-
position to the governments efforts to
regulate the manufacture Of liquor
and the breaking up Of feuds among
the old mountain families.
