TWO RAILROAD ACCIDENTS-ONE
FATAL.

Two railroad accidents occurred here
Saturday and Sunday, one fatal and
the other nearly so. Fred Leon Atwel]
was killed Saturday night by the milk
train between the Veneer mill and
Turnbull's farm. He had gone there
about seven o'clock in the evening as
he said to visit Elmer Hussey, who
lived there. He did not return and his
friends worried and in searching found
his mangled body. The train crew had
not known that they struck anyone
He was man, who it is said of late
years drank good deal and on this
particular evening had been drinking.
This seems to account for the accident
as OF course no one will ever know.
The funeral was Tuesday afternoon,
Rev. w. A. Warner of Barton officiat-
ing and the interment was in Eden
where he was born in July. 1868. The
deceased leaves a son, Ralph and
daughter. Bernice. He made his home
here with Margaret and Alton May
nard.
j. Wesley Dunton was returning
from Richford Sunday night and not
knowing the Montreal train did not
stop here he remained on the train at
Newport. When on his way to Orleans
ne COlQ the conductor OF his mistake
and his fare was taken to Orleans and
he was told the train would slow down
to allow him to jump off. It apparent
ly did not and when he saw the train
nearing Orleans he got out upon the
platform of the car back OF the bag
gage car and stepped onto the steps.
AS he did so and before he had at
tempted to jump the steps gave way
carrying him with them. He struck
upon his right side. The fourth, fifth
and sixth ribs on the right side were
broken and punctured the lung. He
was carried home unconscious and is
now in very serious condition. The
trainmen did not know of the broken
step until they had reached Barton
and it was reported from there.
The injured man is only Is years of
age. His father is J. N. Dunton and
the fireman at the veneer mill. These
two accidents complete a chain of
three during week.
CareleSSnesS seems the cause of a
majority at least either on the part of
the railroad officials or the injured
themselves. No person can afford to
risk life and limb in being careless
around a railway train. There are too
many sad examples for us nowadays.

Depot Grounds Receiving Oil.

Not to be considered less enter
prising than the balance of Heppner
town, the O.-W. r. & N. officials have
ordered their grounds in this city to
be oiled. This was put up to the Of
lcials of the Company on their visit
here last week and they agreed to
furnish the oil providing the city
would spread it, A tank Of 5000 gal
Ions of oil was received this week
and yesterday the grounds were thor
oughly wet down and today the oil
Is being put on. This insures the
keeping down of the dust around
the depot and stockyards. and this
action on the part of the Company
will be greatly appreciated by the
citizens of Heppner and the public
in general.

the lessons that we gather make the
foundation for the hope of higher
life. And it seems to us that We
have no authority for saying that in
that higher life the degrees of hap
piness will be measured by our lives
here. Rather it seems more reason
able to say that in the ceaseless up
ward procession a certain station will
have to be reached before men on
earth or souls beyond will finally re-
ceive the light to understand that
real happiness comes only through
love and justice and devotion to duty.

ANOTHER CHARLATAN
UNMASKED.
Eugene Register.


Those who have suspected that Mr..
U'Ren's sudden fervor for the cause
of prohibition was dictated by poll
tical expediency rather than personal
conviction have had their suspicious
confirmed. So long as the Sage of
Oregon City could make the Prohi-
bition party a tail to his Independ-
ent-single tax kite, he was a bitter
and uncompromising enemy of the
Demon Rum. He shouted that the
cause of prohibition was the greatest
question that confronts Oregon, and
thundered at the other candidates for
governor to join him in a handto-
hand struggle with the liquor inter-
ests.
So long as he could be at the same
time an independent candidate and
the candidate of the Prohibition par
ty Friend U'Ren was the white plum
ed knight of the water wagon. He
uttered in clarion tones his convic-
ton that in comparison with dry
Oregon all other questions paled into
insigniticance. He dedicated himself
to the high and holy cause of driving
the saloon and all its hangers-on
across the borders of our fair state,
and he branded all other candidates
as traitors to the public welfare.
But when it came to question of
choosing between the Prohibition
party and an independent candidacy,
he turned his back on his prohibition
friends. 1t is one of the great pities
that the cause of prohibition is made
the football of every charlatan who,
like U'Ren, is willing to use it as
long as it may be of personal advan-
tage to him but is ready to drop it
as soon os it becomes an embarass-
ment.

following:
"The Telegram will not issue any

games and just as criminal as other
kinds of bunco. Whenever an extra
is printed by The Telegram it will
be justified by the news and fully

Is BECOMING
NATIONAL ISSUE.
Snokesman-ReYiew.


UNLESS checked the prohibi-
tionists will accomplish their
purposes. There are grave prob
liabilities that a constitutional
amendment will go to the states
within year. Once sent to the
states, no power can prevent
eventual ratification.
1t is neither the anti-saloon league
nor the w. c. T. U. that makes this
assertion. 1t is the counsel of the
National Association of Wholesale
Liquor Dealers. 1t acquires addition
al interest, if not significance, from
the fact that it is an emphatic itera-
ton of similar utterances recently in
nearly every issue of the liquor jour
nails.
Senator Sheppard of Texas and
Representative Hobson of Alabama
have presented joint resolution to
congress that calls upon it to sub
nit an amendment of the federal con-
stitution to the states that shall pro-
hibit 1.-The sale, manufacture for sale,
transportation for sale and importa-
tion for sale of intoxicating liquors
for beverage purposes in the United
States and all territory subject to
the jurisdiction thereof and exporta-
tion for sale therefrom."
The prohibitionists, after more
than generation of wandering
through political wildernesses, have
arrived upon their promised land.
The feebleness of their political
proselytizing has hidden the progress
of temperance sentiment and reform.
The nation has advanced along sew
eral roads toward countrywide and
federal prohibition.
Religious and moral forces long
ago took the field against drinking
and against the saloon. The church
es ceased to be divided as to this
question:, anu TduSou tuoIuSelVt tS
unitedly against the liquor business.
The medical man and scientific re
search increasingly argued against
the use of alcohol Business and in
dustry came to the conclusion that
the drink habit was against their in
terests, against the welfare of the
public that they served, against the
prosperity of the pocketbook.
1t looks as if prohibition were
ceasing to be local or state issue
and beginning to become national
issue. 1t is not unlikely to be part
of the political program of one or
more of the leading parties in 1916.

is THERE A HE'LL?
GoodWins Weekly.


A book with the above title has
been issued in New York which con-
tains the opinions of sixteen of the
makers of religious thought on
the question of mans hereafter.
They all support the doctrine of
the souls Immortality, and while ig-
noring the old-fashioned material
hell, insist that the souls of the good
will fare much better in the here
after than the souls of the bad.
The men subscribing to this are all
eminent clergymen.
There is nothing more strange
about future life for men than is
the present life. Called from moth
ing; appearing here more helpless
and dependent than any other erea
ture; still in from twenty to sixty
years ringing the world with his
words or deeds and then growing
still and turning back to dust; men
contemplating this, and remembering
the affections formed in that brief
time; the tearing of heart strings at
the separation, revolt against the
thought that this is all.
They look at the stars in their pro-
cessions and realize that only an in
finite wisdom could have framed
their order and their splendor.
They note the seasons in their
rounds and mark that after the ex-
haustion of producing the harvest,
the sun wanders further and further
away and the tired earth grows wan
and cold and wrapping the winding
sheet of the snow around it sinks into
sleep that looks like that phenom-
enon which we call death. But when
the sleep is over the sun returns; the
winters shroud melts away; even un-
der the snow flowers are found; then
comes the soft air; the buds appear;
the trees put on anew their robes;
, the birds return and rebuild their
houses; the spring advances into the
summer and that is followed by an
other harvest. Is man lost in this
eternal progression?
That he should be would be vio-
lation of every lesson that is taught
by the operations of nature.
But the bread we eat is made
from grain that at first was but wild
grass that made pasture for animals.

By his discipline Luther Burbank
has converted what was but re-
pellant plant into an article of food
more wonderful than was ever seen
before. He has pruned and engraft-
ed fruit trees until he has doubled
both the quantity and quality of their
fruit. In the same way he has con-
verted worthless weed into a glor-
ious flower.
But he has been able to do this by
finding an original element in the
fruit or flower that has been dormat
from the first. We talk of good and
had men. BY that we mean only that
the germ of good is more developed
in the one than In the other. Many
good men produce only half the goot
that they should. They are waiting
only that the original element o.
good within them may be more full,
awakened.
Many bad men are waiting merely
for the magic touch that will caus,
them to shed their thorns and brin,
forth their fruit. With many thi,

EyADING THE REAL QUESTION
Eugene Register.

An esteemed contemporary, the
Eugene Register, asserts that the Is
sues of the senatorial campaign are
those of principle-not men. In ot!i-
er words, the Democrat and other
supporters of Senator Chamberlain
are invited not to make too searching
ALI inquiry into the record of the re-
publican nominee.-Albany Demo-
crat.
The Albany Democrat and all the
other supporters of Senator Cham
herlain are perfectly welcome to
make all the inquiry they wish into
the record of R. A. Booth, the Repub-
lican nominee for United States SEN
ator. 1t is a clean record, and the
more it is investigated the more
brightly it will shine. Mr.. Booth has
been one of the builders of Oregon
not one of the political drones-and
his home city and state have bene-
fitted greatly by his industry and his
enterprise.
Republican papers, we presume,
are also free to delve into Senator
Chamberlain private life If they
choose, but The Register will not be
one to do it. 1t has no taste for that
kind of campaign, and the personal
tiles of the two candidates are not
at ISSUE They are both capable men.
In descending to abuse of the Re-
publican nominee because he has
made a success of his business, the
Albany paper and few other Dem.
ocratic newspapers and politician:
are making a desperate attempt tc
divert attention from the real issues
of the senatorial campaign in Ore
gon this fall. They do not want tt
discuss the real issues, and they dc
not propose to if they can help 1t
Hence the mud throwing. 1t is {
nasty and disgusting method of cam
paigning.
The real issues are these: Are tht
producers of Oregon to be protected
from ruinous competition from
abroad and left to their fate? ART
New Zealand butter, Chinese eggs
Argentine beef and corn, and Canad
ian lumber to be permitted to fioot
the Oregon markets to the detrimen
of the home producer, or are the.
not? Are times to be made bette
for the Oregon farmer and the Ore
gon laborer, or are they not?
Mr.. Booth, as a Republican, be
lieves in preserving the home mar
ket for the home producer. He be
lleves in legitimate protection tha
will enable the American laborins
man to be paid higher wages than TIL
laborers of other countries. He he
lieves that we should consider til,
welfare of our own people first.
Mr.. Chamberlain, as Democrat
believes in throwing the markets o
Oregon and the rest of the Unitet
States open to the New Zealander
the Chinaman and the Canadian S,
that they may undersell our own pro
ducers and build up a profitabl
trade here. He regards the Oregon
farmer and the Oregon laborer as OF
par with the peasant farmers ant
laborers of other countries.
1t is discussion of these thing
that the Democratic press and Dem
ocratic politicians are anxious t,
avoid.
