SPEED? WHY. CERTAINLY.

The splendidly encouraging news
of our military accomplishments con-
tinues. Only the other day the War
Department told of the departure of
more than million men for the Eur
opean area of war. Now the same
source of information announces that
4 grand total of 2,170,40o is with
the colors, here and abroad; that
more than 2700 Browning guns were
delivered during May; that more than
100000 rifles had been produced
and delivered up to June I; that we
are making 80 combat airplanes u
week and that over 1000 Liberty mo-
tors have been delivered and are be-
ing turned out at the rate of ll5 q
week.
Looking at, these fine accomplish
ments, it seems a dream that only six
months ago a senator of the United
States publicly stated in the upper
chamber of congress that Secretary
Bakers assertion that before the end
of the year he believed that there
would be 100000 men in France
was 'eXaggeration of the widest
sort; that the promise was "abso-
lutely preposterous" and that the
whole thing was gigantic bluff"
on the part OF Mr. Baker. Where is
that gentleman now? Only II days
more than half the year have goua,
and more than 100000 men. are al
ready overseas. If that be bluff"
let's have lot of it says the Boston
Post.
If anybody wants to continue to be
pessimistic over such a great showing
aad to persist in moaning wasted

is his prerogative in this land of the

intelligence or of PARTISAN bile. Even
the few newspapers afflicted with Will
son-phobia are beginning to drop it.
In the face of all these magnificent
achievements and at moment when
everything is at white heat of eifi-
cheney and rapidity, how cheap and
transparent are the yells of petty ar
tisans: Speed up the war.'-E. o.

ELIMINATION or NEWSPAPERS.

One of the most interesting of
American domestic phenomena in the
last year or two has been the rapid
decrease in the number of daily news
papers in the larger cities. Some
times by dropping out entirely, but
usually through the process of con-
Solidation with some other journal,
oRe paper after another has been ell
minated from various local fields.
Chicago, the second city of the coun-
try, now has but two morning news
papers printed in English. One of
the two represents the amalgama-
ton of no less than seven once -four
iShing papers. Many other large cit
les can show similar instances of con-
centration and elimination.
The tendency has not been so nota-
BILE in the far west, because there has
not been in the west the journalistic
oyercrowding that competition has
brought about in other parts of the
country. But papers are dropping out
occasionally. nevertheless. A short
time ago Tacoma papers went
through process of amalgamation,
and now it is announced that a Los
Angeles morning paper has suspend
ed publication because it considered
Itself mot necessity in war times. =
Necessity or not, the principle of
the survival of the fittest is being
vigorously applied to newspapers un-
Ger war conditions The high cost
OF paper is. of course, the principal
factor. 1t used to be possible and
sometimes worth while to continue
the publication of an Improbable Pc
per, but at the present cost of paper
and other materials deficits can hard
II be kept at bearable size. If a
paper is superfiuous in its field it
must drop out.-Spokesman- Review.

Just as sample of the don't
care spirit of some people who drive
automobiles is the incident that oc-
Cured on the street Monday evening.
when certain party came driving
down the street and over section of
the fire hose that happened just at
the time to be in the way as the fire
boys were having drill. Just such
things as this makes one wish he had
the authority to use sawed off shot
gun, loaded with heavy shot and
could fire both barrels at once into
the inflated tires of said machine and
thus give Mr.. Speeder a dose of his
own medicine. Good fire hose is
ruined in this manner and parties
guilty of such work should be taken
in by the City Marshal and hailed
before Judge Williams. We guaran-
tee that if this is done they will get
what is coming to them.

Heppner will have couple of
good fire companies, of this there is
not the least doubt. The men and
boys are taking hold of the drill en-
Enthusiastically as was demons trated
on Monday evening. Wren We think
of it, much destruction of property
would have been prevented in the re-
cent fire by having a bunch 0f fell
lows to handle the fire apparatus,
aven had they been no better drilled
'han were the boys who came to-
ether II this first fire drill. Tie ap-
iriment of Mike Curran an Fire
hef has been confirmed By the
uncli and he hopes soon TO have
ader his control a couple Of yolun-
GER companies that will be able to
ardle any fire situation thai comes
along.

WHY ALL THIS FUSS?

The attention Of this paDar ha
Zen cal.ed to the report going the
Junds that certain citizens OF our
.cvn received relief at the lands
: the committee disbursing the fr3I
7alief funds that we're not entitled to
aid. A first we were inclined 10 pay
no attention to the talk as it seemed
to come from those Who as q rule,
never contribute cent to any sort
OF relief work, but are always ready
10 have their say as to where the
funds should go. AS this talk, how
ever, has involved one of our young
business men; as it is being 50 per-
sistently spread that it is working in
jury and injutice to an innocent par
ty, this paper is voluntarily taking it
upon itself to speak out in his behalf
and set the people right, feeling that
the good judgment and sense Of fair
play on the part of the Heppner pub
Tic will not permit them to persistent
ly give wings to false statement.
We have reference to the state
ment that Oscar Borg was rendered
the sum Of two hundred dollars by
the relief committee.
The facts are that Mr.. Borg was
not considered by the relief commit
tee as being entitled to any aid what
ever. We have this direct from the
committee members themselves.
While on the other hand, we know
Mr.. Borg we'll enough TO state !.
he would not for one moment consid-
er accepting any aid of this sort. He
suffered heavy loss on account of
the fire, but has no complaint to
make and it is simple justice to him
to cease spreading a statement that
is working to his injury.
The committee, also, is entitled to
some defense as we feel that they
used their very best judgment in the
disposition of the funds, and only
those really entitled to receive tenn
porary aid were given Of the money

PIuckyaGirI Prevents
WhoIesaI Jail Delivery

A report from Newport says
a wholesale Jail delivery was
averted there last Sunday af-
ternoon about l o'clock by the
nerve and quick action of Miss
Lillian Howard, who boards
with Deputy Sheriff Chas. Ho-
gan and his wife at the jail.
Lee Bell and Winfred Laird,
both charged with grand lar
ceny, made exit through the
roof by breaking a hole thru
the slate. They had broken
into a room that had no cell
ing and thus gained access to
the roof. They made a rope of
the remnants of the bed clo-
thing and swung to the ground.
Miss Howard discovered the
jail breakers, and seizing a
revolver she leveled it at
the men remaining on
the roof and ordered retreat
which was promptly made thus
holding the remainder of the
prisoners until assistance ar
rived.
Miss Howard is we'll known
in Newark, having visited here
frequently and is a cousin of
Mrs. O. F. Craig.
