Miss Zena Houser teaches the school
in District No. 14. The enrollment
is 14. The water supply is kept in a
new closed tank, and the pupils have
individual cups. The windows have

been oiled. A new globe has been
purchased recently.
Miss Vera Langdon is the teacher

to the equipment recently. A new

In District No. 22, Miss Elsie

In District No. 49, the school is un
der rthe direction of Miss Ruth Bow
man. The pupils were hoping that
my visit would occur a little later, bo
I could see them with the new black

ordered. However, a number of im
provements had already been made;
among them were new window shades,
a closed jar for the water, a new

We were glad to see our old friends,
Professor Gibbons and McCann of
Castle Rock and Irrigon respectively,
in the city this week. Mr. Gibbons is
one of the prominent fixtures at Castle
Rock, as he has been there several
years and is doing great things for
that community. Mr. McCann re-
j ports the school at Irrigon making
J good . progress. The new course in
2 , Manual Training is a popular course
jand the boys are getting so they can
2 i make most anything. These gentle-
men are here to tackle the questions

ELECTED JUSTICE; IS
UNABLE TO QUALIFY

Blackhorse farmer, has just completed
a new dairy barn and will go into that

Mr. Bell is milking about fifteen cows

EOR OFFICE
(Condon Globe.)
It is not often that a man is elected
to office only to find that he cannot
qualify as such officer, yet that is the
recent experience of Alex Wilson of
Wjllow Creek precinct in this county.
Mr. Wilson was elected as Justice of
the Peace in his precinct at the last
election and his election was un
animous, having no opposition. Ho
sent in his oath of office together with
his bond to the County Clerk. Upon
examination of the records it was
found that Mr. Wilson, who came here
from Scotland, had never applied for
his citizenship papers although he de
clared his intention of becoming a
citizen many years ago. He was ac
cordingly notified by the Clerk that
he could not qualify. Under the new
law approved by the voters at the last
election Mr. Wilson is now not even
a qualified voter. Mr. Wilson will
probably make application for citizen
ship papers and upon receiving these
he can qualify. The papers will not
be issued for ninety dnys and after
the application is filed and during that
time the present Justice of Willow
Creek precinct will serve.
Butter Creek Lady Passes Away
John Luck, the Pendleton horse
buyer, was here on Wednesday and
bought more than a car load of horses.
The prices ranged from $150 down.
S. T. Robinson, a well known wheat
rancher in the Hardman section, was

W. S. Pettyjohn, a prosperous

well known to nearly every one in
Heppner. She had been in a very
low condition for a long time and dur
ing the past few weeks she had been
treated considerable by Dr. C. J. Smith
of Portland, who was the Democratic
candidate for Governor in the last
campaign.
"The many friends of Mrs. Curoline
Rogers were shocked to hear of her
death in Pendleton last Saturday af
ternoon. Mrs. Rogers was a native
daughter of this state, having been
born in Yamhill County on October
21, 1851. Her parents were Mr. and
Mrs.M. K. Sitton, who were Oregon
