OUR HISTORY % County School Superintendent* Knighten has announced a contest that should attract the interest of every Sherman countain. We refer to the contest for historical writing about the county. Stories need not include the entire county’s history; they may be concerned with some particular period of county history, some phase of its history, the history of some locality in the county. Almost any subject dealing historically with this county will. be accepted, in fact. ~ Tbe contest ¡8 for high school youngsters or for those in the upper four grades of the grammer schools in the county, Prices are to be awarded to the winners in each division The interest that old timers show in the reprinting of old time news of the county makes us feel assured that the elders will cooperate to the fullest extent with children wishing informatfon ' about the historical events of Sherman county history. Might we suggest a few subjects that should be available. The story of the high water of 1894 that destroyed the town of Qrants and the infant industry of distilling in this county, the old time musical association of Sherman county that helped in the development of •bands and singing societies in the?ninties, the story of Emigrant Springs and iis importance to the pioneers who first came across the country in the forties and' fifties — the Ore gon Historical Society or Leslie Scott have information about this--, the Rutledge community had ajparticular individuality as had the so called Michigan community which was flavored by the original homesteaders’home state, the first settlers of any of the towns, the Mackins and the horse industry, Joe Sherar and his toll roads. There are many more and no doubt children searching for inform ation about the county from old timers will learn of them. --------O------- • HERE’S TO THE WEATHER Something must be said about the weather. We have an often expressed superstition about praising weather in this county, es' pecially in March, for fear that before it is printed something “un usual” will happen to make the words seem exceedingly bitter. But the sun has shone with June-like warmth for so many days this month that we feel it must be recognized else the weather gods will think us ungrateful • “Did you ever see anything like it? ask the oldtimers with as much astonishment as do the youngers and the answer is always in the negative. Never in the history of weather records in this county have we had such a winter with such a spring following. In fact we had spring during winter months and now seems to be having summer when spring should be our portion' Whereas we ofteh have sweeping southwest winds in March we now are enjoying balmy June. We picked our spring 1 lowers » in January. Some forehanded folk are eating garden truck already. All unbelieveable and not understandable at all. It is so pleasant that no one can half believe it. All winter people were wont to say with a show of wisdom that we would catch it next month or next March Now March is nearly gone and still we havn’t “caught it” and the prognosticatorshave almost ceased their dolefut remarks It is just too good to be true and we dou’t believe it is although one has but to step outside to see it. ------- O------- * Portland maidens will be interested in Che invitation sent to the world’s most eligible bachelor, Prince of Wales, to attend the Rose Festival. o Workers in auto plants say they want wages enough so they can buy some of their product themselves ------- O*------- If the NRA can set up monopolies that will be bénéficient mo- «prolies instead of predatory monopolies it will be acclaimed as asuccese, but let the commôn people think they are being gouged and the whole scheme will fall. -------- o------- A year ago one could hardly find a Republican, now there is a squad of them runn ng for governor. The breed seems practic- ally indestfuctab e. ——o------ Mr. Insull is still at sea regarding his future home --------O-------- , Admiral Byrd is having as much trouble away from civili^a* tion as those are who stayed at home Maybe «one day en .ex. plorer will find a part of the world where trouble has not yet been --------- O And next ii’s baseball.
