Robert A. Booth. of Eugene,
who has recently announced his
candidacy for the race for U. S.
senator as a republican, is looked
upon as a very strong man on the
West side of the state. He will
likely be opposed by ex-senator
Johnathan Bourne, who is also a
strong man, as we'll as a success
full politician, who has also grown
in the estimation of the people of
the state during the past months
because of his advocacy of popu-
lar measures. Should he be a
candidate, and there is no doubt
he will, the fight will be a warm
one, for Mr.. Booth is a big man
and strong in qualifications for
the position he seeks.

A MARVEL OF STEALTH.
This Herd of Elephants Were Appar-
entity Shod With Silence.


entity Shod With Silence.
Innocently meandering through
an African forest, Mr.. E. H. Bron-
son and his hunting companion,
neither of whom had seen wild
elephants, much less hunted them,
found themselves in the middle of
a feeding herd, but hidden from the
unwieldly animals by the under
brush. "In Closed Territory" the
author describes the experience:
1t proved to be our day to learn
lot about the elephants whims
and what he can do when he
likes. Of course the creek lay be-
tween us, which might seem pro-
lection, but it was not. They all
whirled and thundered away from
us. But scarcely had we gone II
hundred feet before the whole herd
came plunging back upon their
tracks at the same mad pace.
They stopped stock still ten
yards from us, as we afterward
proved, but they were hidden from
us as before. This time they were
punched in a half circle about us.
For probably ten minutes there
was utter silence; then they started
feeding and amusing themselves as
before. This continued for per-
haps fifteen minutes, when all
sound ceased again, and the wood
was as still as if they had all drop
ped dead.
And there we sat for the larger
part of an hour, wondering how
long an afternoon siesta we'll regu-
lated elephant families usually take.
We were in constant expectation
of renewed movement by some of
the herd. We could have sworn
that they were still within the toss
of a biscuit.
But when presently slight stir
among the leaves directly before
Outram made lis throw up our rifles
out stepped Akuna, who had raced
out of our sight at the first stam-
pede. He brought the incredible
intelligence that the elephants were
gone out Of the bush and were dis
appearing off toward the north.
Magic! No prestidigitator could
touch this vanishing act Of tons and
tons Of ambulant weight done under
our very noses in a country where
we pygmies could hardly stir with
out causing a racket. And yet it
proved to be true. They were all
gone, by what miracle of stealth |
doubt if the Oldest elephant hunter
could tell.

A number of families in Hepp-
ner were remembered by substan-
tial gifts on Christmas by a COM
mittee representing fraternal
orders of the city. Those parti-
cipating in the dispensing Of this
charity were the Knights of Py-
thias, Odd Fellows, Masons, Elks,
and First National Bank of Hepp-
ner, and the expense was shared
equally. Fuel, clothing and pro-
visions were supplied where
needed, and the joys of the sea-
son brought to a number of the
little ones in gifts of toys and
other things that bring joy to
the childish heart. Heppner is
indeed fortunate in having few
who are really needy among its
citizens, yet there are always
some who because of their fnan-
cial situation are unable to have
the joy that a little Christmas
cheer brings to the family. We
are therefore more fortunate in
having established in our midst
these institutions, composed as
they are Of big hearted and gen.
erous citizens, ready at all times
to bring cheer to those without
as we'll as see to the temporal
needs of those within the fold.

To all our country readers we

To all our country readers we
are mailing a supplement this
week-being the January 2, 1914
issue of the Pacific Northwest,
farm paper, published by Phil S.
Bates, Portland. This issue is a
report Oh the prosperity Of Greg
on and contains write-up on the
most Of the counties Of the state,
and this includes Morrow county.
May we suggest that after read
ing your copy you kindly mail the
same to some friend on the out
side. 1t will be the means of at
tracing someone to Oregon. In
the article on Morrow county no
attempt whatever is made to ex-
aggeration or over-statement OF
facts and conditions; it is point
ed and concise survey of our re-
sources, and shows our section
up we'll when in close comparison
with other parts of our great
state. The idea of Mr.. Bates is
certainly a good one and this is
sue of the Pacific Northwest
should be the means of attracting
many worthy settlers to Oregon.

The supervisor of the Heppner
road district, Mr.. A. j. Cook, in
forms us that he has siXty-hye
miles of road within the bounda-
ries of his district to keep up,
and that he finds it no small task.
He has certainly done some splen-
did work and made vast improve
ments on different roads entering
this city, and the fact that a lar
ger amount of work has not been
accomplished is due only to a
shortage of funds. In all his
work Mr.. Cook has had the hearty
cooperation and support of the
County Court, and his efforts to
keep the roads in shape are fully
commended and appreciated by
them. Having a lot of road to
keep in repair, and much of it
being hard to keep up, it is not
to be wondered at that here and
there small portions of the roads
will get rough. We wish to state
right here that we are glad to
commend Mr.. Cook for his good
work and hope he may be kept in
position to continue it.

Of interest to every community
in the Columbia basin is the COM
ing fifth annual meeting of the
Columbia and Snake Rivers Wa
terway Association which will be
held in Portland April 1914, 1914.
The Portland Chamber of Com
merce is backing the movement
and it is expected the coming
convention will eclipse all others
in the number of delegates as
sembled and the Importance of
the subjects discussed. Wallace
R. Struble, manager Of the COM
mercial club at Lewiston, Idaho,
will devote all his time from jan
uary first to the date Of the meet
ing to visiting cities in the Colum-
bia Valley and in arousing inter-
est in a subject which is of vital
interest to the entire Northwest.

A cooperative enterprise is
now under way in one farming
community in Wisconsin which
might proftably be copied in
many parts Of Oregon in which,
for various reasons, difficulty in
marketing farm products has been
experienced in the past. In that
particular community they are
building packing plant for the
purpose of disposing of their sur
plus livestock in the same way
the big packers in Chicago handle
stock. Careful investigation of
marketing conditions has been
undertaken and the promoters
are assured of an outlet for all
products and a much higher re-
turn to stockmen than can be Sc
cured under present conditions.
This fact of cooperation in Wis
consin is remarkable only as re-
CARDS the character of the busi-
ness undertaken. In Oregon
there is abundant opportunity for
the establishment of cooperative
creameries, canneries and even
for number of starch factories.
The raw products for maintaining
such industries can readily be
produced in enormous quantity,
and apparently all that is lacking
is the initiative and the commun-
ity spirit which should be as high
ly developed in Oregon as in any
other state. We have some CO.
operation in marketing, the re-
suits of which have been fairly
satisfactory, but there is profit
for the farmer and benefit to the
community in the extension Of
the policy to a point where it will
unite the interests of producers
over a considerable territory and
which will, to a great extent, do
away with the unsatisfactory
marketing conditions which now
exist.

Through the kindness of the
manager of the Hermiston Cream
cry, this paper was remembered
on Christmas with a sixteen
ounce brick of their excellent
butter. The CT family are not
strangers to this brand of butter.
1t requires an average of three
two-pound squares to do us a
week and since the Hermiston
Creamery has been sending their
product to Heppner we always get
it when we can. We thank these
people for their kind remem-
brance and hope that their trade
in Heppner will continue to grow.
