The report in the Oregonian of
yesterday to the effect that Heppner
has 20 cases of Spanish influenza,
would not seem to be we'll founded,
and If it was sent in from here,
somebody must have confounded a
few slight colds with the real thing,
In fact, if there is or has been one
well developed case of the epidemic
in this town up to date, We have
been unable to learn of it. The
entire county is quite free from the
disease so far, and it is to be hoped
that our board of health may sc
control the situation that there will
be nc serious cases.

INTERESTING REVELATION,

In connection with c. S. Jackson S
legal rate bill, Editor Bede recalls an
occurrence at the session at which the
present legal rate bill was enacted.
Jackson's man, Friday, Attorney
Hagood, represented Jackson there.
He admitted that the legal rate bill
was good one and wise piece of
legislation. IF you will allow our
delinquent tax list bill to 90 through
without a fight, l will 60 before the
committee which Is considering your
bill and tell them that it is one OF
the best pieces of legislation ever
proposed to a legislature" are the
words Bede credits Hagood with
using.
Before the committee which al
lowed but 10 minutes for the dis
cussion of the bill Mr.. Hagood used
more than the allotted time. Mr.
Bede asked for permission to ask but
one question as his part of the argu-
ment. He then asked Mr.. Hagood If
he had made the statement quoted
above. Evidently thinking trade
was in sight Hagood admitted the
fact. The committee was astounded
by the admission and the legal rate
bill was Immediately reported out
favorably.
This law, which Jackson's author
lied representative once admitted to
be one of the best pieces of legis-
lation ever proposed to a legislature
is now held up to ridicule by the man
who once endorsed 1t.
The voters would dc we'll to get al
the reason for such inconsistency

 In the four divisions, Sulzer leading by '.
 It is expected that Hyder and Port Walter precincts in the First Division will add 10 votes to Sulzers lead making it over 80.
 It is estimated by Nome people that Wickersham's lead in the Second Division will be cut to 150.
 The Valdez Miner estimates Sul gers plurality in the Third Division will be increased by 25, making it 162 The Seward Gateway estimates that it will be increased to 225 to 250.
 The Fairbanks News-Miner esti mates that Wickershams plurality will be wiped out in the Fourth Divi sion entirely, and other authorities there believe it will be changed into a Sulzer plurality.
 If these estimates shall prove to be approximately correct Sulzer will lead when the returns are all in by from 100 to 150.

 Somewhere in France. Dear Cousin:
 "A thousand thanks for your letter that I received from you when I was right in the field. l am feeling fine and hope that you, too, are well.
 "It went pretty warm with us for a few days this week until we came in one afternoon for a well-earned ease. One morning had just dug a few holes to sleep in when the or. ders came that we had to get up again. It was little early, but up we got
 When the clock showed that it was five in the morning, we were over the top. God alone spared me from what the Hun sent towards us. Machine gunners, gas miners, com manders fell down around me. We could not see our neighbors for the gas and smoke, but we got ahead of the Hun and won the victory. The Germans suffered an awful loss.

aTh@ fourth year Of the war has wit

from the frontier to the line OK the

they opened an attack upon the allied
armies in France with the object OF
driving a wedge between them and
ultimately occupying the channel
