L- Lindbeck Out of the capitol by Christmas may well be the slogan of the state’s lawmakers when they meet here in special session for indica tions noware that the gathering of the law makers will be an event of the early winter rather than this fall as earlier speculation had it. If Col. lloratio B. Hackett, as sistant PWA director, thought to frighten Governor Martin into hasty action on the capitol pro gram by his demand that all of the plans be in the hands of his chief, Secretary Ickes, by October 2, he rekoned - without his host. Governor Martin’s only comment upon the ultimatum of the PWA official who flew out to Oregon to look the situation over was to the effect t'hat “we are dealing with bigger men” th*n assistant direc tors. By this ■ the governor re ferred to the assurances already had frdm Secretary Ickes and President 'Roosevelt of their friend ly interest in Oregon’s emergen cy and their promise of financial assistance for reconstruction of the state house. • The governor reiterated his state ment that he would withhold his call for the special session until he has had definite word from Ickes as to the terms of the federal granf A number of protests have been received by the governor- from farmer members of the legislature against any session before October 1 because of interference with the harvesting of hay, hops and other crops and it is expected 'toe will withhold the call at least until af ter September. Some of the gov ernor’s advisors are known to be advocating a December session on the theory that approach of the Christmas season would tend to speed up the work of the session for an early adjournment and dis courage any tendency toward afili- buster that might prove embarras sing to the administration. •' One hundred and ninety-two cities shared with the 36 counties of the state in the distribution of 319,525.84 in liquor taxes this week. The distribution, made by the state department, as the first under an act passed by the last legislature. Checks ranged from as low as 21 cents in the case of the city of Cornucoppia in Baker county to 36.139.60 for the city of Portland. Sherman county’s share of the dis tributlon was as follows: 41.41 County of Sherman ’ 4.27 City of Grass Valley. 7.22 City of Moro 8.21 City of Wasco Fair Grounds Ready For Stock The fair grounds and buildings are ready for the advent of the prize competing hogs, sheep and horses of the fair days. Barns and exhibition houses have been clean ed and repaired and although work is still going on the major part of it is completed and ready. A new unloading chute is being made for the convenience of exhib itors who will bring sheep and hogs to the fair. The south end of the sheep barn will have’a cor ral adjoining so that such stock can be unloaded from a truck and driven into the stalls without hand ling by personal contact. The track is being watered daily and the dust is less of a problem on the* fair grounds proper than at any time for several years. Crested Wheat Seed Available Crested Wheat grass seed may be obtained through the county agent’s office for fifty cents per pound. The seed is 90% germin- able.

An announcement was made Wednesday from the office of Gov ernor Martin that J. C. Freeman of Moro had been appointed to serve as Justice of the Peace foi th© Moro precinct of Sherman coun ty. Mr. Freeman will finish the term of R. J. Ginn, former justice, who died last February after many years in the office. Mn Freeman is a clothing mer chant, has lived in the county over thirty years and has previously been county sheriff and mayor of Moro. . Among plans for the Sherman county fair August 29-30-31 is one based on the expenehcee of last year’s 4-H club fpir. It is to have much of ths live stock judging done before the grand stand so that the spectators can see for themselveee which horse or cow is placed first and, if the same procedure is fol lowed will be told why in most cases. This event gives another interesting and instructive feature to the show. The tentative program is that judging of home economics divi sions and crop and miscellaneous judging contests and judging will be done Wednesday as that is the day Miss Cowgill can be here to Farmers Gwe Government All rate the entries.

The livestock demonstra tion teams will show in the morn ing as well, and the afternoon will be given over to the races and the finals of the rodeo. Admission prices for the fair will be fifty cents for general admis sion, twenty five cents for children twenty five cents for the grand stand and for cars that are ad mitted to the center of the track the charge will be one dollar per car. “In setting up these reasonable safeguards, the commissioner wise ly reckoned, on the basis of care ful appraisel, that this amount of indebtedness was all tiljje farm could reasonably carry, and that the borrower should be left with a clear 25% equity to insure his success in working out of debt and owning his farm outright with The sudden death last Friday of Number of real estate brokers in a reasonable time.. in Oregon declined from a peak Dr. J.

Called by Death Official County Paper Bangs Test Looks Better Camp Building Sealing of Buildings To Be Started Immediately; Cleaning and Straightening Up of Camp Now Being Done The preliminary construction work on the camp was completed Thursday after the carpenters were called back for the finishing touches last week. From now on there will be constant improvement in the appearance of the camp as rubbish is cleaned up, dirt is push ed up to the buildings and a gen eral ship-shape manner is as sumed. The SCS bull-dozer is being used to put the dirt around the buildings and smooth out the piles that were made when the ground was level ed off for the construction. Work of lining the houses with some in sulating material and paper will begin soon, as soon, any way. as the material can be bought and shipped to this point. Camp Near Done Wheat Rolls Into Warehouses Rapidly Wheat continues to roll into the warehouses in a major part of the county and it begins to look as if those who prophesied that we would have more wheat this year than last would be right about it after all. Th© Wasco territory had ware housed over 476.000 bushels up to last Saturday night and it was still coming at the rate of 150,000 per week. The Moro territory has taken in 171.000 bushels to date and will probably get around 225,- 000 bushels more then the above figure. Grass Valley, with the chortest crop in many, many years will have between 50,000 and 100.- 000 nusheis in the houses it is estimated.
