AN UPTOWN STATION.


creek to Heppner in the Fall of 1887,
History shows that Morrow county
was at that time growing into one of
the big thriving communities of Ore
gon. There was ample inducement
for the railroad capitalists to extend
this branch line from the Columbia,
otherwise the old stage line between
Arlington an0 Heppner would have
had to take care of transportation
facilities for time to come.
But just why the o. R. & N. Co.
got their line to the lower edge of
town, built their terminals there and
let it go that way, very few people
have been able to solve. Many have
figured it was the old system of the
company to wait for country to de-
velop and then come in and pick the
plums, and others have said the rail
road heads figured Heppner would
soon spread out down the creek until
the depot would eventually be in the
center Of things. However near these
surmises may come to being true, the
fact still remains that the depot is
some considerable extent removed
from the main part of town, this in
spite of the fact that Heppner has
made steady, conservative growth.
There are any number of good
reasons why the terminal of the
Heppner branch line should be up
town, but the prime reason is that
of service. That the Heppner branch
has paid well these many years, there
can be no doubt. Freight and pas
senger traffic has been heavy and the
amount spent by the Company in
maintaining it's service has been COM
paratively small. The O.-W. R. &
N. Co. should appreciate this patron
age sufficient to extend its lines up
| town.
Another reason why the line
should be extended is because by the
extension, expense to the shipper will
be reduced to no meager extent.
every little express package costs at
least ten cents extra by the time it
arrives up town. All other express
and freight must necessarily cost
from twenty five cents up. Passen-
gers, both coming and going must al
ways figure twenty five cents addi-
tional to the cost of their ticket, un-
less they want to hit the board walks
and take a chance on missing the
| train.
The railroad company may have
some good reasons why they never
built up town, but probably the great
est outstanding excuse is that they
have never been urged by the people
of Heppner as a unit to come on up
and be one of us.
There is ample room for the con-
struction of both passenger and
! freight depots and the cost Of build
/ ing the extension would be nothing.
Nothing we say, for the good feeling
and increased patronage resulting to
the company would repay them many
times for the money expended.
We believe the time is ripe to take
UP this important matter with the
head officials of the O.-W. r. & N.
| Co., and facts and figures presented
to them in the right way will gain
the desired results. Nothing will
come out of the agitation unless 1t is
backed by every business man and
citizen of Heppner and adjacent ter
ritory. Let's get behind this move
to build the railroad up town.

Following the passage in the SEN

action of the conferees with respect
to the adjustment of all differences
in the measure as 1t passed the two
branches of Congress, Senator Char
les L. McNary made public state
ment in which he said:
II voted for the revenue bill upon
its final passage as the war cannot be
fought without money; yet, | hoped
that a greater portion of the revenue
could have been collected from those
colossal institutions which are enjoy
ing the fruits of the war and are
thriving upon the enormous expendi-
lures made necessary by this conflict.

erly.

Cantonment Talk.


A battery ON parade was being In
spected by the sergeant major. In the
center of a wagon driver In tub
had a haversack, which was none toe
clean. The following dialogue tool
place:
Sergeant Major-"out of cells again
Brown"
Brown-"Yes, sir"
Sergeant Major-"That's a very dir
ty haversack you have got"
Brownies, sir. only got 1t from

time to wash It."
Sergeant Major-"Get 1t washed i'm
mediately after parade and show 1t to
me-"
Just then the commanding officer
came on parade and the sergeant ma.
jor called the battery to attention.
The commanding officer, riding along,
followed by the sergeant major, came
up to Driver Brown (who was Of a
dark complexlon).
Commanding Ofllcer-"Have you had
a wash this morning, Brown|
Driver Brownies, sir"
Commanding Officer (turning to the
sergeant)-"Do you think he has
washed his face this morning, sergeant
major?"
The sergeant major, not having
caught all the sentence, and thinking
the commanding officer was referring
to the haversack, blurted out: "No,
sir, 1t Is an entirely new one; he only
got 1t out Of stores last night"

Today's Anniversary

Vitus Behring was the navigator
who proved that the continents of
Asia and America are not united and
he died on an island since named af-
ter him 176 years ago today, Nov.
%, 1741. Behring, a Dane, was in
the service of the Empress Catherine
of Russia, when he set sail on his last
but memorable expedition. The OBJ
ject was to discover whether Asia and
Alaska were separated or joined.
Crossing Siberia, the Danish explorer
sailed from Kamchatka river in 1928,
and passed through the straits now
called Behring and across the sea
which also bears his name. Without
seeing America, he concluded that the
continents were not united, and re-
turned. On a later voyage he landed
upon the American coast and gave it's
name to Mount st. Elias. On the re-
turn trip his ship was cast upon an
island, now called Behring, near the
,A1eutian group, and there the brave
sailor died Behring's crew, after
many privations, succeeded IN return
ing to Asia, with spotls which laid the
foundation for the Alaska fur trade.

CLUB NOTES

Dear Doctor: My IT year old son
was confined to his bed about
months ago with a severe cold accom-
panied by cough and sore throat
He went back to work before he was
fully restored. He works in a ship
yard and is our only support. He has
not been wholly free from the cough
since, but the last three weeks it has
increased SO that he cannot get rest
at night although he works hard dur
ing the day. A couple Of days ago
he went to the shipyard doctor but
he did not examine his chest, only
looked in his throat and said that he
must have an operation on his throat
before he could get rid of the cough.
Now, he thinks that as long as he has
no pain in the throat and no trouble
with same, not even when he coughs,
he should not be in a hurry to have
such an operation. Cough is dry,
sounds almost hollow but when he
drinks something warm at night it
seems to loosen and he spits some
phlegm. He also wants me. to ask
you how he is to get rid of some small
pimples on his face, also neck and
shoulders. I do not think that it is
lack of exercise because he. works
hard during the day and goes to
evening school, Three nights a week
he has studies and other three nights
gymnasium and swimming. The lat
ter he has stopped because I was
afraid that it was too strenuous after
working so hard during the day and
also on account of the cold showers
afterwards.
MRS. J. o.
ANSWER It may be that the ship
yard doctor Is right and that his ton
sils are diseased and should be re-
moved. I think, however, it would
be best for you to have him go to
some other doctor first and have an
other examination made. If, how
ever, when looking into his throat
you find cryts in his tonsils and that
they are seriously diseased, then they
should be removed. If there are large
Jumps in them and they are merely
red without any white spots or holes
then I would suggest that he secures
a. special preparation of the tissue
foods or cell salts for internal use and
a special ointment I would recon-
mend to him for external use. The
condition which you describe as pin-
pies is usually very stubborn and hard
to overcome, however, with the prop
er diet and after overcoming the 9TH
er trouble, they will also disappear in
time.

AS a member OF Parliament he iden-
titled himself conspicuously with Jew
