LOCAL NOTES jj BROADVIEW RANCH WINNER N. A. Macomber i.s deer hunting tlil.s week in the Pilot Kocli country. City Supt. of Schools, M. li. SigUi was on the sick list the first part of the week. Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Mureble of Wasco, were guests of Harry Mur chle over the week-end. In a recent letter received from Mrs. J. C Hallenger, she states that they are enjoying the ranch, but prefer Boardman and the alfalfa fields. Did you see the airplane flying over our city on Wednesday? School was dismissed in the forenoon, the pupilB given a close study of the mechanism of the plane. A number of our citizens took advantage of the opportunity, and enjoyed a ride kmongit the clouds. Dr. Ray Logan of Umatilla, made his first regular trip to Boardman on Tuesday and will continue to come here each Tuesday and Thursday In leaner office in the Dank build ing. While here Dr. Logan was call ed to see Mr. Casein, who has been treated for typhoid, and who is now convalescent. .SCHOOL CALENDAR FOR LM1S2 The following calendar has been arranged for the present school year of the Itoardman Community school: September 5th Labor Day.

Friday, May 19th Commencement Address. The first and second prize for the best bale of alfalfa hay at I be grain and hay show at Pendleton was awarded to hay grown on Broadview ranch. Who says there is no advantage in a farm name? Broadview ranch, where the John Day picnic and bar becue was held, then operated by Dillabaugh and son, consists of two units. Unit "C" owned by the writ er, now operated by Charles Wick lander, who won first prize of $40, and unit "D" owned by D. C. Dilla bough and operated by B. L. Dilla baugh, who won 9?cond priie of $30. Two bales of hay bringing $70! Who can beat It? Now it is plain why my Duroc Jersey hogs are the best on the project. They have had better feed, and more of it. More of It Is essential, and one of the great est secrets in raising any kind of better live stock. Name your farm and hold a pic nic so that people may learn where you are located. liaise the best hogs and produce more infertile eggs than others and sell two bales of hay for $70, and everything else will come to you while you wait, provided you continue to hustle while waiting. The East Oregonian Is my authori ty for the above report, though it is now rumored that H. C. Mitchell re ceived second prize and B. L. Dilla baugh sixth. Will correct in next Issue if rumor proves to be true. Yours for more and better alfalfa hay with enough good cows to con sume seventy-five per cent of It, then we will have enough left to supply all the dairymen in the state where alfalfa is not grown.

The title the wilier furnished for the article was "Some of the Pleasures of a Trip to the County Fair With Our Exhibit." The office boy evi dently thought that it was intended lo be humorous when he made the change. While I admit the roads are more or less rocky, I did noi in- ttnd H to be taken humorous as Facts are never funny. While I am sure the olllce hoy is io blame lor the trhiingt. i will hold our genial editor responsible lor any similar act in the fill lire. No writer, even though he blund ers, cares lo have any change made In his production oilier than lo cor recl poor spelling. My object in giving Mho above title was that when we call for vol unteers to lake our exhibit to the county fair two years hence we can remind them of the pleasures and advantages of such a trip. Why 1 say two years hence is because we are ruing lo Insist upon the county fair botng held In the norlh end of the county in 1922. The SOUth end has had the honor for eighl years, now we ask that it be held In Hie north end one year In the three. We have a great ad vantage over the south end in way of good roads so thai we can expect patronage from considerable distance both east and west, and the roads are no worse from Heppner to Board man and lrrlgon and return than I hey are from here to Heppner and return. We have assisted you for several years now Heppner be game and visit us once. Yours for a heller County Fair, C. H. DILLABAUOH WATKIl DOLOR PAINTS II Kit K The water color paints for the Nchool art work have arrived at the stores. All pupils In the first seven grade should get them. The price Is 45 cents, but with care they should last two or three years.

T. MAXET , Western Newspaper Union. JETTIES OF MISSISSIPPI ALTHOUGH the "Father of Waters" has several mouths, none of them provided s satisfactory channel for the never eudliig procession of steam ers which carry millions of tons of commerce (one Item of which, dur ing a recent year, was 13,728,144 bunches of bananas) from the ports of the world to and from the port of New Orleans. The western-most qne of these mouths is known as Southwest pass, it Is about 15 miles long, of Irregular width, had a tidal, variation of from 16 to 28 Inches, was Influenced by floods and obstructed by a submerged sand-bar over which the water was only nine feet deep. Notwithstanding these handicaps, army engineers considered it the best route and set about to force the river tu run as they thought It should. They planned to dig and build a chan nel 1,000 feet wide and 85-feet deep through this pass, so that the biggest ships could steam right up the river and anchor off New Orleans. They dredged the head of the pass Tor 3 miles to give It the necessary width, closed a number of outlets to conserve the flow, built "sills" to pre vent the outlets to the river above the mouth from enlarging; dredged away the sand-bar (removing the equivalent of 80,000,000 wagon loads of sand and mud), constructed Jetties more thsn 20,000 feet long to protect this dredged channel and hnllt spur dikes as necessary. Southwest pass now satisfactorily performs Hie work which falls to the lot of the nfllcial mouth of America's greatest river. HOT SCHOOL LUNCH XOW PROVING SATISFACTORY C. 5. WHEELER Announces that the WHEELER PHOTOGRAPHIC STUDIO Pendleton, Oregon is again in his personal charge. Only a limited amount of work can be done, as 1 Mr. Wheeler will be in personal charge. Orders for Christmas should be attended to at once. A very satisfactory feature of the roth of the Boardman Community school is the Serving of a bOl lunch at noon to practically all the pupils and leachers. The mi nis are nourishing and an- served Cafeteria Style so one may get lull lunch or a single item to sup plement lunch brought from home. Payment is made either daily or montbl) of tickets in duplicate being made for each order. Tin- teachers supervise the pupils and correct serious taints oi laoie etiquette, and monitors are appoint ed to keep the tables neat and clean. The work of serving the meal Is in the bands of Mrs. C. P. Harter, who is employed and paid by the board, all items being served at cost. Following is the menu for one week, each lunch costing 10 cents: Pork and! lieans, prunes, 'slice of bread and butter; Hindu eggs, cocoa, bread and butter; Cream of corn soup, baked apple with butter sauce, bread and butter; Rice pudding, co coa, bread and butter; Beef stew, cocoa, bread and butter. west.

FARMER JOXES AT THE BOUND-UP CONSTRI CTION OF CMATILLA RAPIDS PROJECT MIGHT BE POSSIBLE IX NEAR FUTURE BOARDMAN SADLY DISRUPTED WEDNESDAY BY AEROPLANE The town, community and school life of Boardman was sadly disrupt ed Wednesday when an aeroplane belonging1 to the Morris & Davis Aviation company of San Francisco, tlirted around over the housetops and finally landed in a Held close by. Thither everyone flocked; the curi ous, venturesome and financially able, two at a time, enjoyed a fifteen minute flight at $7.50 per, and con sidered the money well spent. The youngest was sin, and the old est fifty, but all were equally enthu siastic, and some of the Boardman school teachers will be looping the loop In their sleep for some time to come. The pilot, L.

As usual we had quite a time gittin' off. The pigs got out and the old hoss kicked in the manger and the dog had to be tied up an' what not, but finally we got off. The train was jest startln' when we got to the depo, and when they seen we was late they stopt dead still, and blew the whistle, an' I says to Ma, now run for all yqu're worth. We saw some others doin' the same thing. One woman was carryin' her coat in one hand and her shoe strings In the 'tother. She hadn't bot her ticket when the conductor said "all aboard". Well, she bot her ticket, and they waited around a spell to see if they could drum up a few more. Well, when we got there we seen the awfuless lot of flags and brite colored banners floatin' down the street you most ever seen with fel lers buckin' hosses, made out o' paper, of course, and a band on every corner. Seemed like Ma and me couldn't, get enuff music. We heard a too too toot down the street, and I sess to Ma that's the merry-go-round I'm off, and the next I knowed I was ridin' 'round and 'round, my hed a-spinnin' and I sez, if 1 can't ride one of those buckin' hosses 1 will ride a wooden hoss. I looked 'round when I got a bit steady, and there was the leadin' lady storekeep er of our town and a friend of hers ahead of us, and 1 nudged Ma and we both laffed, and then 1 looked back tgin and there was our popular general storekeeper right back of us, all goin' up and down and 'round and 'round, havitt' the time of their lives, reminded of their childhood days on the farm back in Missoury. Well, the next we knowed we was in the Round-Up, an' say I got right up and threw my hat in the ring when that big Texas steer came gal lopin' across the field or ring, with a feller ridin' after him pell-mell when all of a sudden the feller jump ed from his hoss and lit straddle of the neck of that steer and straddled its neck and grabbed its big horns. Ma jest fairly screamed, but I sed out loud, goodness gracious some body git the boy up, the steer'll gore him fer sure. Gosh, how the crowd cheered and some more fellers on hossback with bright colored shirts came ridin' up and got him up all O. K., and the clown came along and hopped on the steer's back and off he went to the correl, never seen the likes of it before. A feller with a camery tried to take a piture of the steer, but the steer jest went boo and that camera man doubled up like a burnt boot. The clown then wandered 'round and put his arm 'round the leadin' lady rider and everybody cheered again. The trick ridin' was somethin' worth seein'. Standin' on their heds and cllmbin' under them hosses and the hosses runnin' at full speed. Ma sed, I like to see you try some of them tricks. The Indians sure did make a show in them red blankets and their blankets of eagle feathers and elk teeth and heeds and other trappin's when they made that charge on hoss back. 1 sure thOt the days of In dian raids had come back, but about the best thing accordin' to my no tion, was breakin' the wild hosses to ride. Of all the skylarkin' them hosses did it took two men with ropes and a hoss to hold one They 'rose on their hind feet and fell over baehwards, feet up, the fellers lead In' 'em went helter skelter ever which way. They would throw the saddle on 'em to get 'cm used to it. Finalb they got In the saddle and off they Hew across country nevr seen sich ridin' in my life nor sich buckin' neither. I see now where they got the name "Let 'er Buck." Finally they broke Into a run and away they flew. Ma sed she had enuff of round ups but I says "can vou beet it"? (Continued From First Page) 130,000 horsepower of secondary the proposed first unit installation oi 180,000 horsepower economically successful. A profitable market for 125,000 horsepower of primary power and 250,000 horsepower of secondary power must be found before the pro posed installation of 375,000 horse power can be pronounced feasible. If all railroads in Oregon were electrified it would require only about 115,000 horsepower to operate and' for Washington 190,000 horsepower, or about 35 horsepower per mile of track. If existing power companies now operating in the principal cities of the Northwest were to connect with this plant when constructed, It is believed a considerable part of the secondary power could be used to re place power now generated by the steam plants and ultimately much of the primary power could be ab sorbed as the power market in this section grows. The report argues that the public is interested in the Umatilla project for the following reasons: The principal cities of the North west, which are the present markets for hydro-electric power, are located within a radius of 200 miles of the proposed plant Portland, Salem, Tacoma, Seattle, Spokane, Walla Walla, Lewiston, Pendleton, Ontario and Burns. The plant would be constructed at approximately the center of the present railroad mileage in the north west, with two transcontinental lines passing the power site. The electrifi cation of these lines would go far toward financing the project. The plant would be located at the junction of the railway lines lead ing to the northeast and southeast. From the north will come coal and many other commodities essential to industrial development while from the southeast enormous shipments of phosphate rock from the rich Ida ho deposits may be required for the making of fertilizer. Surplus power would pump all I he water needed for irrigation. Navigation would be improved by drowning out Umatilla rapids and affording a slack water pool above the dam nearly to the mouth of the Snake river. Another dam below the first is suggested as an ultimate possibility, the entire output of pow er to be utilized in the manufacture of fertilizer. Cheap barge transpor tation to the Inland Empire would thus be made feasible without cost to the general public except for locks in dams built primarily for com mercial purposes. As the Columbia is in flood at about a time when other Northwest streams are low the project might prove invaluable tied in with a super-power line connecting all exist ing hydro-electric projects in the Northwest Power could be sold at cost, and the rates of existing com panies reduced in proportion to the saving made. In the introductionary statement by John H. Lewis, these paragraphs occur: "We are issuing millions of dol lars in bonds for the construction of highways which will be a burden upon the taxpayers and which roads may ultimately have to be rebuilt be fore the bonds are paid off. We are expending millions of dollars for the improvement of our rivers and har bors, with but little prospect of a sudden industrial expansion unless we have available some form of cheap power. It, therefore, seems high time that we begin to inquire if some new policy cannot be wisely adopted, such as loaning the public credit for the construction of water power projects which will be self supporting and ultimately return the entire investment, or perhaps the subsidizing of private capital which will undertake the construction of the first few large power projects, just as we subsidized the construc tion of the first transcontinental railways. Or, perhaps, some form of co-operation with private capital may be considered a better policy for the people of the Northwest to pursue than the present policy of restriction only. In the absence of such a policy this great natural resource is going to waste while we are shipping in from great distances, coal and oils to run our industries. Our country is sparsely settled and we cannot hope to offer special advantages such ns cheap coal or oil to attract new industries.. It we are to secure the mcr used taxable wealth to share With us the cost of roads, harbor improvements now under way, we should carefully consider what we have to offer such new capital, and the conditions which we must com pete within other places."
