GROCERIES ARE AN ABSOLUTE
necessity to every human being.
From the day you enter the world
until the day you leave it you have
to patronize, directly or indirectly, some
grocery store. You have to eat to keep
alive. Among the earliest lessons taught
in life is a regard for your diet, by select
ing only fresh and wholesome food, and a
regard tor your purse by practicing the well
established rules of economy. We can sell
you fresher and better goods and more of
them for cash than you can buy elsewhere
on open account. Look over our stock,
get our prices, and be convinced.

Carey Act Sclienies Chief Statis
tician Makes Preparations for a
Splendid Shoving of Accomplish
ment of Few Months.
Washington. D. C, Sept. 16. Uma
tilla county. Ore., will furnish the
trump card played by the United
States reclamation service In making
the showing which Justifies its exist
ence as against Carey act projects be
fore the National Irrigation congress
at Albuquerque. X. M., In October,
for the officials of the reclamation
service declare that the most really
ideal conditions under Irrigation in
the west are to be found in the Her
mlston valley In the west end of that
county.
Mr. C J. Rlanehard. chief statisti
cian of the reclamation service, who
will have charge of the showing to be
made by that department of the gov
ernment at the congress, has but re
cently visited the project where he
made observations and took several
pictures of the development from a
sage brush desert which has been
made during the past year. Mr.
Blanchard's success in picture mak
ing at Hermlston led him to Order
Walter Lubkln, photographer for the
reclamation service, to that place.
and later Special Photographer White
both of them seculng remarkably fine
pictures of the development since the
government has undertaken to water
that project.'
The best of these pictures, It is un
derstood, will be used In making lan
tern slides for the Illustrated lecture
which Mr. Blanchard expects to de
liver before the congress at Albu
querque. For a long time the officials of the
reclamation service have made it no
secret that the Hermlston project was
their pet among all the 26 reclama
tion enterprises the. government has
undertaken. Indeed, It is generally
understood here that the natural con-
ditions In that valley are so favorable
that they look to this one place to
Justify in the highest manner the
plan of the national reclamation ser
vice by becoming probably the most
fruitful and valuable irrigated dis
trict In the country.
In discussing his recent visit to the
Umatilla district, Mr. Blanchard de
clared that the town of Hermlston
had made a better and more sub
stantial growth during the IS months
of its existence than any other town
within the areas of the 26 national ir
rigation projects and that the devel
opment on the project Itself during
the six months since the water has
been turned on the land is unsurpass
ed by the showing of any other pro
ject under similar circumstances. He
was particularly Impressed by the so
cial and church advantakes of the
place and is very enthusiastic over
its advantages for homemakers.

big bear which he saw made up for
everything.

Is goln' yet," said Charley In telling

Should Plan Re Adopted County Su
perintendent Would Re Made Of
ficial of Pnvcr Instead of Office
Man Legislature Will Ro Asked
to Require County Treasurers to
Handle School Funds.
Radical changes in the present
school laws of the state are desired
by the county superintendents and at
the meeting Just held at Salem their
Ideas were freely discussed. At the
coming session of the legislature an
effort will be made to have at least
some of the new Ideas enacted into
law.
The most radical thing proposed at
the meeting, according to Superin
tendent Frank K. Welles, who came
home last evening. Is a plan whereby
the county is made the unit for all
the districts contained theiein. Un
der this plan the county superinten
dent Is to be elected by a school
board on the same plan a city super
intendent now serves and all the
county school affairs are to be direct
ed from one general head. Such a
plan would make the county super
intendent a school man Instead of an
office man.
However, this Idea will not be pre
sented to the legislature this year as
the superintendents believe that the
people are not yet ready for the
change.
Of the recommendations the super
intendents will actually make to the
legislature the most Important Is one
which provides that henceforth the
county treasurer handle the money
from all school districts excepting
those of the first-class. This would
relieve school clerks of all financial
responsibility.
The recent meeting, according to
Mr. Welles, was a round-table affair
and was very beneficial. Upon al
most every proposition discussed he
says that those assembled were unan
imous In conclusions. All but six
superintendents were present.
FrciM-h Sold Cattle.
J. D. French, the Ourdane cattle
man, was here yesterday and says
that he has Just sold 100 head of
tattle to Nate Raines, buyer for the
Frye-Bruhn people of Tacoma. The
beef will be shipped out from that
place within a few days.
Atliena Editor Here,
Col. Fred Boyd, editor of the Athe
na Press, came down on the fore
noon train today and after transact-
In,? business here for several hours
returned on the afternoon mixed
train. He says It has been raining

After having attended the Colum
bia River conference at Wenatchee,
Wash., Rev. W. T. Euster returned
home last evening. He reports a
very interesting conference. The re
ports showed a total gain of 1321
members in the conference and the
addition of 14 ministers to the list
of church workers. The financial
statement showed a general advance
of 41 per cent.

PURPLE-FINE LINEN
FOR BAKER'S MAYOR
Baker City, Sept. 16 Mayor Chas.
Johns may not wear purple pajamas,
but he certainly does admire fine
linen for his sleeping gear.
According to n story current here
the native aslstocracy of Baker's pop
ular official manifested Itself recently
during the absence of the mayor's
charming wife, who hns Just return
ed from an out-of-town visit.
The mayor was very particular
about going to bed early and keeping
things running In the same old way.
He decided he would even do better
than usual and before Mrs. Johns was
to return he had the residence thor
oughly cleaned.
Here Is where he went too far. for
the party who cleaned the house dis
covered that the city's chief executive
had changed the sheets on his bed
and Instead of getting a pair of sheets
he had dressed the bed in two linen
table cloths and had been using them
as sheets for several days.
