The N. A. Tibbits Granite Com
pany of Portland has just completed
the erection of the James McIIaley
monument in thel ocal cemetery. This
is probably the best monument in the
cemetery. It is (i feet high and
weighs 16,000 pounds and is Eastern
granite throughout. Six large horses
were necessary to pull each block up
the cemetery hill. James McIIaley
was one of the pioneers of this coun
try and a prominent sheepman. He
was killed about twoy ears ago in an
automobile accident near Lexington.
He was a kind and generous man and
his plain habits and manner of liv
ing are reflected in fie monument
which bears but the word, McIIaley,
in one-half round letters in relief.

Mrs. Long gave a dinner party last
night for her Sunday School class in
honor of the two boys, David Wilson
and Elra Hayes, who had just returned
from the Boys' Convention at McMinn
ville. Those present were the Misses
Helen and Ella Aiken, Edith Thorley
Mary Notson, Lucille Elder, Lola
Briggs, Melba Griffith, Pearl La
Trace and Marion Long. Besides the
two young men in whose honor the
party was given there were the
Messrs Oren Wright, Harley Adkins,
Lamont Slocum, Henry Aiken, Gene
Penland, Lee Mead, Walter Cochran,
Louis McGowan, Norton Winnard.
Tom Hughes, Stephen Irwin, Edw.
La Trace, Edw. Winters and Edw.
Clark. After the splendid dinner the
boys made a report of their trip in
an informal way and will have a writ
ten report to submit to the class next
Sunday. They answered questions
and among them they reported that
they had an excellent time and were
complimented for coming such a dis
tance to attend the Convention.
There will be a district convention
of the same character in Heppner
some time in February, which will
comprise delegates from three or more
counties',, This work is being car
ried on by the Y. M. C. A.'s. and the
churches and is something to be en
couraged. Mrs Long certainly has a
fine class of young people and all are
enthusiastic workers, which fact is
shown by their raising the amount of
money needed to sen tTj:egates to Mc
MinnrUle. She will be glad to wel
come any young man who is desirous
of getting into this work and any
voung man not attending Sunday
School can consider this an invitation
to join her class.

The County Court is in session,
The business transacted ,up to tl
present time was manTy routine bus

There were a few small road claims.
The Circuit Court bills for jurors and
witnesses and other expenses amount
ed to $723.60 were allowed, as was
$499.20 for the State Accountants
work in going over the records. It's
too bad they didn't make it an even
$500, they would have gotten it just
as easy and it considerable easier to
write on a check. If ever money was
thrown away, surely this was. If the
work had been done at the end of the
Officials term of office, there might
be some excuse for it, but coming at
this time of the year, it is simply
money tossed away.
