GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP.

Those who have been laboring un-
der the impression that government
ownership is practicable should have
heard the address of Senator Burkett
on "The Protest of Americanism."
While the Senator didn't go so far
as to say that government ownership
would destroy the country he did pro-
test that it would prove extremely
dangerous.
Taking the railroads as an exam
pie the speaker showed by convincing
logic how utterly impossible govern
ment ownership would be. He showed
how helpless Oregon, for example,
would be under government owner
ship. With territory greater than
that of all the New England states,
its representation in Congress is
about one-eighth that of New Eng
land. 1t would be only natural that
forty members of Congress would get
eight times as much consideration as
five-and then where would the de-
velopment of Oregon come in.
Under government ownership of
any public utility, extension and i'm
proyement of that utility would be
guided by the votes of a majority OF
members of Congress and not by the
needs Of the country, as is now the
case.-Cottage Grove Sentinel.

The local committee guaranteeing
the 1915 Chautauqua for Heppner,
had to make up a deficit of $3.50
apiece. This was paid by the 40 sign
ers of the guarantee without protest
as they felt the weeks entertainment
had been worth the money. Besides
every good undertaking must have a
start, and it costs somebody a little
money and work to get attractions of
this kind established in the commun-
ity. This initial expenditure of mon
ey and labor has been made and fu-
ture Chautauquas for Heppner will
be self-supporting. The 1916 course
has been signed up for, and where
this years Chautauqua had compare
lively few boosters, there will be
scores of them another season for

they are to receive.

Heading is now general in the sec

and reports are to the effect that the
grain has suffered severely from the
hot weather of last week. 1t is short
ened at least a third. Similar re-
ports are coming from other parts
of the county, while Others report
but little, if any, damage. 1t will
transpire, however, that there has
been more or less damage in all parts
of the county when the threshing is
done. Cool weather OF the past few
days has been beneficial and grain
that appeared to be damaged is re-
viving and will come out pretty well
barring any more of such weather as
we had last week

PRESS FIGHTS FOR THE TAN
PAYERS.

The fact that in Oregon S2,1S1,00O
less taxes is collected this year than
last is due to the fact that the state
press stands by the tax payers.
Officials, boards. commissions and
bureaus. state and federal are en-
gagged in expanding their functions
and heaping up new tax burdens.
The publicity matter sent out by
state and federal departments is all
calculated to increase emolument

THE CLOSED ROAD
BY KEITH KENYON,

When Bert Perry closed his desk on
Friday night he hadn't any very dis.
tlnct idea of where to 90, but as he
passed to the elevator and looked at
the door Of the Office that used to be
Jane Tenny's he decided on a trip to
Piney Roads. Jane Tenny had been
a public stenographer. but when
things had grown dull in Wall street
she had given up her business ven.
ture and moved off to Piney Roads
to seek her fortune in chickens and
fruit farming.
1t was a six o'clock Saturday eve.
ming and Bert decided that his first
stop would be at the Piney Roads no
tel.
It's neatly kept little place, "
thought Bert, as he surveyed the sym.
metrical rows of hollyhocks on either
side of the path, although it doesn't
seem very large"
Then he sounded his horn for some.
one to come and take his car, but no
one seemed to be stirring and there
was no sign Of garage. He sounded
long and impatiently until at last
from behind the house appeared an
old man in overalls.
There amt any garage round
here drawled the man. You'll have
to take your machine down to the
crossing"
Where is the proprietor" Bert
was getting impatient and, as the old
man seemed not to understand, he
added, the man who keeps the place,
I mean"
"Oh, now l understand" drawled
the old man, chuckling. 1T amt a
man-it's lady. She was back in
the orchard picking cherries, and she
said she had just stepped in to tidy
up bit and would be out soon. Here
she is"
When Bert caught sight of a pink
dress and then he recognized Jane
Jane, whose interesting, pale face had
grown positively pretty since her So
5ourn in the country
And how unembarrassed and cordial
she was! She really seemed to be
glad to see him.
From the garden could see II was
you." she said, and just had to take
off my sunbonnet. don't want you
to make fun of my farming"
There followed few explanations.
mo, I am not the proprietor of
the hotel" Jane assured him. There
must be some mistake in the road
book. In fact. you are the third
tourist today who has come here with
that idea. And you really cam all
the way up here to see me? Why
didn't you let me know"
Just then another car pulled into
that driveway, car of French bui'd
that made Bart's modest roadster lool,
