If Al Ayers, who sometimes in
spires newspaper articles about tho
"Road to lone" and the like, would
take a little trip down to Lexington
some day he would find nothing to
complain of regarding tflie condition
of the streets of that prosperous
burg. Any comparison he might
make between the strets of Lexing
ton and Heppner would not have to
do with Heppner of the old days
but he would probably compare the
Lexington thoroughfares with the
present paved streets of the county
seat. I'll 'J
The reason Is that tilie city dads oC
Lexington believe in working their,
roads at the right time and that is
w'hen the ground Is wet and it is
possible to grade and crown the
streets without piling up a dust
heap.
About the time Al made his fam
ous trip to lone the Lexington peo
ple got busy and with a road grader
and othter necesary implements
they waded Into the muddy streets
and graded them with a good crown
i In the center and a smooth surface
and then let nature and ordinary
travel take its course. The result
Is that the streets are now smooth
and well packed and not a mud-hole
In the entire length.
Lexington people are disposed to
blame Bill Cronk for the condition
of their streets earlier in the sea
son. They say t!hat , the way he
tiBed to tear back and forth form
Ione to Heppner every day in that
old rough-shod car of his was en
ough to wear out any street. His
new Ford is so spick and span and
shining, however, that It will not
even stir up the dust next Hummer,
they hope, and no farther trouble Is
expected from Wieat quarter,
i A Herald reporter spent a short
, hour, in . Lexington . last Thursday
morning and found the town pros
perous and the people all optimistic,
i The Lexington district Is the rreunt
of the county as a wheat-growing
community and the plentiful rainfall
, of the picient winter pnictlcally in
! 1.11 1 i'H a bountiful crop next summer,
burring accidents, and lit the government-fixed
price, that spells pros
i purity with a capital P.
If busintsH Is not good around thf
Tuiii-A-Lum yard Chat smile on th
i face of Manager Holmes Is mighty
derelvln' and the same may be said
of the banking and warehouse busi
ness represented by W. G. Hcolt
who is one of the big and busy men
of tho town.
W. K. Corson, munager of the big
mercantile establishment of J.
Ilur:oyne, reports business good and
especially In the Implement line.
Farmers are preparing for a busy
season and that means good buslm sa
for the merchants and Implement
men. Manager MiMlllan, of Iescli
Urns., also leported food prospects.
Leach llros. store Is the largest in
Lexington and one of the largest In
tftie county.
The Lexington State Hunk In pios
perlng to tli,, citHiit that they urn
now panning for a new and modern
bulildlng to be erected neit summer.
The plans are not yet completed but
It Is understood the building will bn
