CROPS ARE GOOD.

A ride through the Gooseberry and
Eight Mile wheat belt at this time
would convince anyone that a gross
Misrepresentation Of injury to crops,
throughout that part of Morrow
county at least has been made by ar
ticleS recently published in the Port
land Oregonian, and sent out from
Heppner The party who is respon-
sible for this kind of dope, following
abundunt showers of rain in this
county, should be made to realize
that he might be in better business
than sending articles of that nature
to the city papers. Our citizens
would much prefer seeing less
of this sort of advertising. Morrow
county has suffered enough from this
half-baked newspaper enthusiast who
is always jumping in to get some
thing sensational before the general
public, regardless of truth and facts.
From lone on south through the
Eight Mile, Dry Fork, Jordan Butte
and Fairview sections the crops are
immense. The copious rains of the
last ten days were just what was
needed to bring along both Spring
and Fall sowing, and in the most of
the fields the grain is now headed and
the heads would seem to be almost
bursting they are filling so we'll. The
hot spell of two weeks ago did no
damage, and if any injury
occurred at that time it has now disa-
ppeared and We can view the outcome
only with pleasure. He'd we time and
space we should be glad to go into
detail and mention the numerous
good fields of grain we visited, and
give the kind and acreage. Hope to
do this later Suffice to say at this
writing that nothing short of an un-
forseen calimity can prevent an abun-
dant crop throughout the entire
north end of Morrow county, and we
Should be glad to see this fact as dill
lisently advertised, as the opposite
was misrepresented and apparent in
Jury SO grossly nagnified.

MONEY GOING INTO SAVINGS
ACCOUNTS, NOT SALOONS.

The foolish fallacy that economic
disaster comes to city when saloons
are driven out has already been rath-
er thoroughly demolished in Spo-
kane's six months experience under
statewide prohibition of the liquor
business. If, however. further dem
onstration of the point were needed,
it would be amply supplied by savings
banks reports of increased deposits
for the first half of the current year.
When hundreds of people who never
had savings accounts before begin
making regular bank deposits one Of
two conclusions must follow: that
their incomes have been largely in
creased or that some substantial item
of expenditure has been cut off. 1t is
obvious that the first alternative does
not apply locally-there has been no
sufficiently broad and general advance
in salaries. Spokane's enlarged list
of savings bank accounts must, there
fore, be the outcome of decreased ex-
