Allotment of State
Former Kent Farmer
School Funds Made
*
The annual apportionment of funds
represented by interest on the state’s
irreducible school fund was made
August 1st by the state land board.
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.

W. 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.
