Local Happenings J Messrs. Broyles, Weston ami Beiger were Hermiston visitors The FTi School pupils are working on a play to be given in the near future. The first few warm days starts the sap. Harry Murchie planted garden Tuesday. Ed Miles and family have moved to Pendleton where they will make their future home. Next Saturday is tree plant ing day and after the buds open up we don't expect to he able to see the aun. f Several more people are going to put in phones as soon as Mr Mead, owner of the local lines, can get the phones here. Geo. Mitchell needs a cook. Some one suggests that the Worm ranch may become com munity property. Here's hopin' George. The boys of the agriculture elass have constructed a hot bed for use in connection with the achool garden, and to raise plants to sell locally. Judge Warner's nose would indicate that he had run up against an old grudge in a dark alley but he explains that in cranking with his crank the crank flew off and hit the crank er. However, possession is nine points in law and the Judge has it wherever it came from. Our town is strictly up to date Mumps, inea-les at:d grippe cases are all improving. F P Klitz has a four-room residence rising above a full Carty Avenue. W. A. Goodwin is aoing tne carpenter work. Mr. L. Woodard severed his connection with the O -W. R & N. March 1st after several years of service at the coal chutes at Measner. He is now a real rancher and he says it feels like being out of jail. A. J. Hedger has tendered his resignation as superintendent of the Sunday School and the as sistant superintendent. Mrs. Wm. Pinnell will till the place for the remainder of the year. fhe Sunday school plans an Easter program for the 27th of March. Lee Mead is preparing for a lawn around his house. We wonder why so many people neg lect to start lawns and plant shrubbery when it is so easy to do so under irrigation. A little time and less money can make a home out of what is otherwise only a house to stay in. W. H. Stewart's little son, with childish inciuisitiveness. was examining the new building being erected by Leo Root, and fell into the basement head on. Mr. Stewart brought the child to Hermiston where the doctor reported nothing more serious than a shaking up. J. D. Zurcher was in Board man Wednesday. C. G. Blayden made a business trip to Hermiston Wednesday. P. B. Swayze and E. P. Dodd of Hermiston were Boirdman Litors Wednesday. Work has begun on the canal and county roads both, so very few men are at home these days. Mr. and Mrs. A'ex Hango of North Dakota and Mrs. Laura Hango of Alberta stopped off on their way home from a trip to California. C. G. Blayden's new garage and office is completed and Mr. Blayden can be said truthfully and literally to be doing a land office business. The U. S. R. S. announced a cut in wages from $6.85 for man and team to $15.00 effective March 1st. The consensus of opinion is that the cut is both unneces sary and unjustified. The coun ty is paying $6.75 for the same labor. The Ladies Aid was entertain ed Wednesday afternoon by Mrs. Gotham and Mrs. Slaydenatthe home of the latter. Thirty one ladies and eight babies were pre sent and a rousing good time was enjoyed by all. Visitors present were Mrs. Huston, moth er of Mrs. Crawford and Mrs Ecker, sister of Mrs. Rands. Their next meeting will be an all da session at the church March 16th. HIGH COST OF COMMODITIES Killing of Calves for Veal and Spay ing of Heifers to Fatten for Beef Is Cause. That the killing of so many ralves every year for veal, and the spaying of hellers ami fattening them for the block, Is responsible in a large meas ure for the present high prices of certain food commodities, there can lie no ques'lon.

THE BOARDMAN MIRROR fff Job Office Iff Keilec-tiouN From Starlight Did you ever take a horseshoe magnet and stick it in the dust of the soil of your farm? Try it and examine the magnet. We wonder how soon the chair warmers in the reclamation ser vice will et their ten per cent cut in salary. Everything seems to be de dining in price but the necessi ties of life. Oh well, give us the luxuries of life and we will dis pense with the necessities. I wonder if we are always aa particular when we are looking for teachers to look after our boys and girls who have immor tal souls to be educated tor eter nity. A stock man well known in the northwest was asked by an edu cator what he fed his calves and he replied "I do not know, I hire an expert from the Agricul tural college to care for the calves." While we are on the subject of salaries we might give a moment to our teachers. Of course they want an increase. Well, let's get this thot firmly fixed in our minds: "A poor teacher is dear at any price; a good teacher is never sufficiently paid." ' Every kick is a boost If you get it going up."

A Western Scene By looking out of the west window of the school house, one can perceive the lordly Colum bia river flowing on its winding way.

Hood is visible, with her snow clad peaks lit up by the golden sunset. Here and there we get a glimpse of the broad Columba winding her way slowly to the distant aea. Near the foot of the nioun tain a train is winding its way thru the hills. The passengers have their heads out of the win-' dows trying to catch a glimpse of the glorious sunset. On the plains numerous black dots are dioernible. They are cattle graz ing. FarmerB ate at work, some leveling land, baling hay and others are building. Vast plains of sag brush atretching way out to an un known Unfitness can be seen. Long lines of telegraph poles atretching out in the country are viaible. A very common sight is the farmers hauling their pro ducts to town. Then there's the little town of Boardman with a store and post office. A farmer ia seen in the streets loading up with supplies. Raymond Hango, 8th Grade. Illgll School l'l..y Are you inquisitive about the lights in the school house every Monday and Thursday evenings?

"Mother," she said, "I went out to my playhouse this morn ing, and I couldn't find Ruth, my rag doll." "Why, that is strange," said her mothf r, "do you think Fido could have carried her off some where?" Caroline ahook her curly head solemnly, "I know Fido couldn't have had her, mother, becauae 1 have looked around inside the yard and he doesn't ever go outside it you ktiow ." "1 will help you look for it Caroline," said mother But altho they looked high and low for the lost rag doll, they could not find a trace of bar. So they gave it up, mother adding, "Since you have so many other dolls; my dear, I should think you could get along without Ruth." One afternoon late in summer, Caroline came running into the room where her mother sat sew ing. "Oh mother, she cried breath lessly, "there is a robin's nest in the old maple tree, and 1 think the mother bird has some eggs in the nest. I am going to see," and away she ran. In a few minutes she was back, holding her hands behind her back, her eyes shining. "Oh, guess what I found!" she cried, "guess, mother!" "I can't imagine what it is," said her mother, wonderingly. "Why my dear rag doll, Ruth, mother!" she answered, and she brought to light the much rag ged doll, that had been lost so iong. Why how strange we did not lind iter," said her mother. But Carolina didn't hear, she was dancing around the room, hugging her once lost doll, Ruth. Helen Boardman Ith Grade.
