Give Them All The Same Deal

A number of good ordinances
have been passed by the common
council Of the city which are aimed
for civic beterment. They will av-
all but little if they are not proper
ly enforced.
One ordinance gives the city pow
er to lay walks along property and
if the owner Of the property will not
pay, then the property itself secures
the cost in the form Of lien. This
ordinance is working successfully
II is an effective weapon in forcing
negligent property owners to make
their side walk Improvements.
But the side walk ordinance
should be enforced all along the
line. There is not more unsightly
corner in the city today than that
where formerly stood the Palace no.
tel, For more than two years peo-
pie have been taking to the street
in order to encompass this corner
on either side. They have been pa
tient. The property was in litiga-
ton. Everything was up in the air,
so to speak. Now that the litigation
has been settled, we ask in the name
of a better and cleaner HeppHer,
why are not concrete side walks be-
ing built around the corner Of this
property as by law provided.
The lot is today, probably of high
er value than any other in the town.
For that reason alone it can stand
the cost of the improvement. 1t NAV
be the new owners have plans for
making this improvement in the
near future. We rope they have.
II will help the town and help them.
selves as well.
The fire zone ordinance is not be-
ing enforced satisfactorily to a great
many people. 1t leaves a bad taste
in the mouths of many, when these
ordinances are not enforced equally
all the way around.

First Signs Of Good From Ora
witty Water System Appear

WY w dle4 og SttM appear
One Of the strongest arguments
used in support Of a gravity water
system for Heppner, that it would
make for a bigger town, is already
becoming a reality, Its uphill work
for any town 10 get any larger than
its water supply. Fortunately Hepp-
uer finally came to know that fact
and then went out after more water.
Rapid progress is being made in the
construction of the new water line
and its a matter Of months now until
the city will be drinking mountain
water.
The first appearance of develop
ment coming upon the decision of
the town to get more water, is the
Morrow HomeSite Addition on Nor
row Heights, Without water, this
tract could never become site for
homes. With the water, it can be
made ideal. Mr.. Morrow realizes
this, and is backing his judgment
with thousands of dollars. Beauti-
full winding roadways, parks and ter
races will transform a barren hill
into one of the most acceptable res
idence sections that any town could
possibly want
Lincoln boulevard circles the
point Of the hill and is the main
street leading to the addition off Of
Court street. Other streets have
been pleasingly named Garfield
WAY, Wilson Way, Cleveland Way,
Students Way (near the site of the
old school house, Feast First, East
Second, East Third, East Fourth and
East Fifth Street, Court Way and
Division Way Avenue.
The lots are all large. Most of
them are 60 Y 100 feet. Mr.. Nor
row is announcing reasonable prices
and easy terms of payment, and it
appears to us that he will have no
difficulty in disposing of the lots.
The opening day of sale has been
set for May 5, and no one will be
given chance TO speculate

For A Better Wool Market

For many years the Oregon wool
grower has had pretty strong
"hunch that he was being euchered
by eastern wool buyers. The buyers
always came into town in their spe-
cial car, knew before hand what
clips they wanted and what clips
would be offered, and many times,
as result, the growers did not get
the price which they firmly believed
they were entitled to.
However, with a great many of
the growers, it was not a question of
price 50 much as it was a matter OF
getting some money, badly needed,
with which to keep their business
going.
OF later years, the wool man has
had easier going, He is now in
position 70 act on his own initiative,
and he has come TO the conclusion
that the time is now ripe for calling
for a new deal. Creating an even
market with prices that are some
what in keeping with the value of
the product, instead of giving from
a fifth to third of his production
to the buyer, and working out a sys-
TEN for financing within the grow
ers' organization, are some of the
problems which will be discussed at
the meeting of the wool men from
all over the state of Oregon in
Heppner on Saturday. Every local
grower should find it to his own in
terest to attend the meeting whether
he has but one old eve and a cou-
pie of lambs or two or more bands
of sheep

PROTECTION Of
RIVER TERMINAL
STRONGLY URGED
Mayor Paine and Terminal

thus far cost the city about $3.50. 600. Is
threatened by the caving OF the top
of the bluff on which terminal ware
houses and tracks are located, and
were shown personally the present con-
ditions there.
Within the past week two slides have
occurred, and as the flood water re-
may take more of the land into the
