The amount apportioned totaled |373,273.50,on the basis of fl.50 for each of tl e 248,849 children on the school census in Oregon. The apportionment is 14 cents per child less than that of a year ago and 23 cents less than two years ago. The decrease is due both to the increase in the number of school children in the state and to a decrease in the in terest fund available for distribution. A table prepared by the board shows that in 1923 a total of $400,- 299.51 was available but in 1924 this amount had been reduced to $391,- 273.50. On the other hand the num-' ber of school children in the state had increased from 231,387 in 1923 to 238,636 in 1924. On the basis of 1,016 school chil dren Sherman county has been ap portioned $1,524. WE ARE Lra. A. M.

L. Regester and daughter, from California, Missouri, drove in to Moro Wednesday afternoon to visit with his nephew, A. S. Johnson and family, and are on their way to Hood River where they will visit with Granville Phillips and wife. Mr. Regester is a former resident of Sherman county having had a home stead near Kent 18 years ago, now included in the farm holdings of Guy Walton.__ When speaking about his drive across the continent, Mr. Regester gave our reporter the following brief summary of the trip. He said that he left California, Missouri, July 20th, first going to HaHa Tonka in the Ozark mountains where he camped the first night This is a famed resort for tourists from all over the United States. The next day he drove through Buffalo, BoHver, Stockton and Ne vada, Missouri, and camped at Fort Scott, Kansas. The third day saw him driving through the Eldorado oil fields to Wichita, then to Hutchi son where he camped. The fourth day he passed through Sterling, Sil- van Grove and Hill City to Lenora where he visited two days with a cousin. Mr. Regester said that the corn in Kansas is burned up and is being cut with binders for fodder. Wheat a- round Hutchinson and also in north western Kansas is good. Harvesting was in full blast when he was there. The end of the 7th day found him ¿amped at Btnkleman, Nebraska, vhere a wind storm blew down their tent and drove them into their car • or shelter. Jie reached Greeley, Colorado, the evening of the 8th day. A splendid farming country, the principal crops ->eing alfalfa, navy beans, sugar beets, and wheat. The 9th day he started to climb .he Rocky mountains after leaving Cheyenne. This part of the trip was through a desert country. The pass vhere the highway crosses the sum nit of the Rocky mountains is 8835 feet abovj level. There are no 'teep or dangerous grades on the Lincoln highway nor is there any ¿rand scendky like that to be seen on ch« Columbia highway. From the cop of the mountains until he reached Ogden the country was much like that over which he drove from Cheyenne. Ogden, he says, is one of the best igricultural districts on the route. They visited Salt Lake city then back tracked to Ogdon and on to Poco- ~ella and Boise, Idaho, where he passed through another beautiful valley which is under irrigation and where is produced all the crops us ually grown in an irrigated district. He crossed the Snake river into Oregon at Nyssa and camped at Ontario, Oregon, and he said he was ¿lad to be once more in his old home state. He also said that the Snake river valley is very productive and compares favorably with other such valleys he had seen on the trip. Mr. Regeater made the trip with the intention of again making Ore gon his home. Mrs. Regester was a native of Missouri and because of this the family had made that state their home the past number of yean. Death claimed Mrs. Regester not many months past and having no longer ties to hold him away from Oregon he once more is here to re side permanently. ————————— _ l furniture Company Dr. M. F.
