THE BUILDING
Steel Frame Structure Is
Equipped with Modern
Conveniences
Ground was broken for the Heryford
building March 13, 1913, almost a year
to the day from the time of its dedica
tion. The ex avating was done by H.
H. Riddles, well knon railroad con
tractor who did much work on the N.-O.-O.
and wintered his outfit here.
Stormy weatt er during the Spring and
einv Summer greatly delayed the
wo-k. it being frequently necessary to
stop the work f r several days at a
time. The building has a frontsge of
107 feet on Center Street and extends
A more brilliant affair than the dedi
cation of the Heryford Bros.' building
last Friday evening was never given in
Lakeview, and the costumes worn by
the ladies were more than pleasing.
The Grand March w as led by Mr. and
Mrs. V. P. Heryford, who lent much
dignity to the occasion. Mrs. Heryford
was gowned in taupe messaline, over
veiled with chiffon and embroidered net.
She looked her sweetest; her face was
radiant with that motherly countenance
of expression which to those who know
her best reflcc.s the sweetness of her na
ture. Cue of the unique features of the
evening was the sweet flower girls, viz:
Ruth Florence, Maud Rice. Leah Beall,
Fern Ahlstrom, Maxine McKendree and
Enid Light, who distributed red carna
tions to the ladies. !t was without
doubt the largest assemblage of beauti
fully gowned women ever gathered in
Lakeview, Matrons and maids vied
with each other in producing the smart
est costumes, and we may well be proud
of the exquisite taste displaped by all.
So truly feminine in their draping and
embelishment it was a rare treat to see
them. As the days glide into the past
and memory recalls from her storehouse
the dedication of the Heryford Block,
many pleasant events will be recalled.

EXTENSION WORK
PLANSjISCUSSED
O. A. C. Outlines System
for Carrying Work to
Farmers' Homes
A "nesting held last Saturday in Port
land at which reprerentatives of nearly
all farmers' leagues and commercial
organizations of the state'were present.
The purpose of the assemblage was to
discoss co-operative plans to carry on
extension work of the Oregon Agricul
tural College. President Kerr of the
college presided.
As a result of the conference every
man who attended it, and a targe pro
portion of them were representativea
of farming men's organizations, re
turned to hia home with a clear idea
of the possibilities for benefit to the
farming men that lie in the provisions
of Senate bill 72 and House bil 270, and
is in a ' position to perform valaable
service in arousing the farmers of the
state to take action to secure the bene
fits. Each faction bad its own idea as to
what methods should be pursued to
bring about the best results in utilizing
the new laws. All. views were in a
measure modified and the meeting
closed with a broad policy outlined.
In addition to the co-operation of
the farmers' organizations smother
move was provided for upon motion of
H. 6. Miller whereby an advisory board
representing all important organiza
tions of the state interested in agricul
tural development will be appointed to
act without pay in assisting" the Ore
gon Agricultural College in carrying
on its extension work.
"Our legislation is now in such shape
that we can go into any community in
the state and tae the aid of the Agri
cultural College to it, if that commun
ity wants us to do so," said Profesor
ft. D. Hetzel, who is to be in charge
of the work under the new system, as
he outlined the g-e9r8l plan pf work. - -
ln communities where there fB no
demand for the extension work and no
inclination for the farmers to seek it,
we can carry on a campaign of educa
tion that will put before them the bene
fits to be derived from it and arouse
their interest.
"We are coming to you in good faith
to do the work which we have been
sent to do. All I ask of the farmers
and farmer's organizations of the Btate
is, 'Don't stand by and cricitise!'
Co-operate with us and we'll be able to
get results that will be worth while."
NEW ROAD BILL
ISHELD VALID
Road Districts are Given
Power To Levy
Special Taxes.
In an opinion rendered at the request
of Judge G. W. Wonacott. of Rose
burg. Attorney General Crawford
hoida S. B. No. 336, by Neuner, pasted
during the recent session of the Legis
lature, is constitutional, and the opin
ion is important in that a movement
has been practically inaugurated to
test the validity of the act.
The bill had a checkered career in the
House. Its purpose was to amend a
section in the code giving road districts
the power to levy special taxes for the
building of roads, and which has been
oeclared unconstitutional for a number
of reasons, among others, that it did
not definitely outline the procedure to
be followed in po-ting the election
notices. Members of the bouse opposed
it on the ground that it would be un
constitutional In that it sought to val
idate assessments made under the sec
tion of the code which the Supreme
Court had held to oe unconstitutional.
The Attorney -General takes a contrary
view and says:
"Section 3 is an emergency clause
putting the act into immediate force
and effect. Therefore, the act is in
effect at the present time, and the eff
ect ot the curative part of the act is to
validate all road tixes now levied and
collectible providing the act itself ia
constitutional. ' The rule in such cases
