BOOST CLUB WILL
MEET REGULARLY
Friday Night Each Week
To Be Devoted To
Club Work.
Morrow County Boost Club held
a short business session at tb
council chambers last Friday eve
sing, and some matters of import-
ance were taken up and discussed
The idea was presented of put
ting a man over at Madras to hand
out Morrow county literature and
to present to the large Dumber of
colonists being now landed at that
point the advantages we have to
offer in the WBy of cheap farm
lands. It was decided that this
step would be taken if found ad
Tisable after a visit to that section
by a representative of the club.
VT. S. Wharton intends making
visit there the coming week and
will report to the club, action to
be taken thereafter.
The proposition of placing a man
at Portland for tne same purpose
was abandoned as it is not prac
tical.
vvnat literature tne club now
has on hand will be distributed,
and more will be provided, as it is
the sense of the club that our pub.
licity campaign has only begun,
and while we may not get the re
sults that were expected this year,
they will come later, and now is a
splendid time to advertise, and
keep it up, and this will be done.
A good spirit pervaded the meet
ing. It was decided that hereafter
the club will meet on each Friday
evening to push its work along all
lines. Also, it is the desire of the
club that all strangers who may be
coming to the county at this time
will be made welcome in a way
that they will appreciate, and
spirit manifested towards them
which will show that our peopl
are really glad to have them here,
and if possible to suit them in tb
line they are looking for, to get
them interested in the right way
Give them the very best side of our
county, but in a way that we will
not have to apologize for hereafter,
We have something good to offer
the newcomer and each and every
person should be constituted a com
mi t tee to boost for all we are worth
but while doing this, we should not
give out the impression that we are
after all he has in the way of cash
in other words, do not make it
real estate agents' graft, as it would
appear some other sections are do
ing.
Morrow county is as good, if not
far better than many other sections
of the Northwest that are receiv
ing more attention. We should
not stand back to say bo, and then
prove it
A trip around town will convince
yru that Heppner citizens have
been struck with the clean-up
spirit in real earnest. The trim
ming of trees, cleaning of yards,
repairing of fences and sidewalks
and the painting of houses is the
order, and many are gettiog their
gardens planted and are putting
out treeH and shrubbery, and the
work of beautifying goes on apace
The putting in of gardens at this
early date may be a ittle prema
ture, but this fine warm sunshine
makes it hard to resist, and early
spring garden "sass" is already
showing above the surface of the
ground. A few more weeks of
the present sort of weather and
some of our citizens will be eating
new lettuce, radishes and onions.
Such is our Oregon climate.
E. Nordyke was in Heppner on
Saturday from Lexington. He
was accompanied by his son, Guy,
who is now a resident of Seattle
and follows the profession of book
keeper. It haH been nearly twenty
years since liuy lets tnese parts,
being at that time a small boy, and
be notes many changes in and
about Heppner, especially anion
those of his former associates wh
have grown to maturity the same
as himself. He renewed many ao
quaintauces while here.
Quite a number of strangers in
Heppner this week, the large per
cent of whom seem to be of the
genus hobo. They claim to be
ooking for work, however, and as
ambiog and shearing are right at
hand tbev will have an opportun
ty to make good tneir claim as
the services of every available man
will be needed.

A. J. Hicks was up from Coburg
on Friday, looking after business
interests here. He ia quite wel
pleased with his new location and
claims to be doing a nice business
already. Coburg is not a very
large town, but it is progressive,
and Mr. Hisks finds himself con
nected up with a growing business.
James Angus, who has had
charge of W. O. Minors show herd
of Shorthorns the past two years,
left for Portland Monday, having
resigned his position here. He
will remain at Portland for the
present, but a little later may de
cide to accept a position that has
been offered him in Wisconsin.
Rood Canyon Road.
On last Thursday, R. F. LTynd
and W. O. Minor, representing
Heppner, and Judge Patterson and
Commissioner YouDg, represent
ing Morrow County, met at the
proposed road down Rood Canyqn,
and with S. E. Notson, Emerson
Keitbley and County Road Viewer,
C. E. Jones went over the piece of
road surveyed through the Keith
ley land.
After carefully viewing the mat
ter it was finally decided that the
proposition of Mr. Keithley would
be accepted, and it was agreed by
him not to further oppose the putt
ing of the road through his premises.
As compensation for this agreement
he was promised $15 per acre for
the land actually used in laying
out tbe road, also to be furnished
suiricient material for a three wire
fence. On behalf of the county,
Judge Patterson and Commissioner
Young would not agree to bear all
this expense, so a portion of it
will be taken care of by Heppner
business men so that there need be
no delay in getting the road opened.
Tbe only matter necessary to be
attended to now is the proper court
proceedings, and this will be pushed
along as rapidly as possible. In
fact it shoud be arranged to do a
certain portion of the work on this
road at once, as now is the proper
time to attend to it, and if it is
necessary to wait until the county
court orders the road open, then it
will be too late in the season to stir
up tbe ground, and those desiring
to make use of tbe road this season
will be disappointed. If it is now
definitely settled just where the
road is going, it would seem that
this might be arranged.
It is gratifying to have this set
tled up, and the openihg of this
road will be of great benefit to
