IRRIGATION BOOSTERS
W. P. Mahoney, Frank Gilliam and
Kenneth Mahoney, drove over to
Boardman last Sunday morning and
spent the day looking over the (Striv
ing town on the Columbia iand the
West Extension Irrigation project
where a wonderful combination of
soil, sunshine and water is causing
the desert to blossom as the rosts and
readily accounts for the prebent and
potential thrift of the community.
Tids was Mi.' Gilliam's first visit
to the new Morrow county town and
rn a Herald reporter Monlay morn
ing he expressed wonder that peo
ple there could have accomplished
so much in the short time since wa- j
ter was put on the land. But what;
has been done is as nothing to what;
will be done in the future, Mr. Gil
liam believes. "It is a wonderful
country," he said, "and I could hard
ly believe that such a country could
be so quickly developed from a des
ert of sand and sagebrush. In ten
years from now it will be great."
Mr. Gilliam has been strong for
the John Day project in the past but
since seeing with his own eyes what
water will do with the sandy soil of
northern Morrow county he is an en
thusiast for getting every acre possi
ble under water at the earliest pos
sible moment.
"When the John Day project Is
reclaimed," he Baid, "Morrow county
will be one of the richest and best
counties in the Pacific northwest."
Other members of the party were
equally pleased with the results and
possibilities of Irrigation but none
were heard chanting any praises
about the condition of the roads they
traveled, and it is probable that the
entire party will be as strong boost
ers for a Heppnerl Boardman high
way as is any resident of Boardman.

MODERN RAY MACHINE
Always modern, progresive and
up-to-the-minute in giving their cli
entlle the very best service in dental
surgery, Drs. Vaughn & Butler have
recently installed a Vulcan X-Ray
machine in their offices in the Odd
Fellows block. The machine is the
latest development in X-Ray mechan
ism recent improvements having
eliminated all danger of burning the
patient which was an ever-present
menace in the use of the earlier X-
Ray apparatus.
By the UBe of this machine a dis
tinct photograph of any part of the
bodily interior can be taken in three
seconds and the plate developed
w!th,in 15 minutes.
With the old type of machines an
exposure of from SO to 3 5 minutes
was required to secure a film and in
this long exposure lay the danger of

that this particular pest was already

Judgment, and hinder not music."
Where the Banjo Came From.
The modern banjo was Introduced
Into England from the United States,
to which ccmntry It was probably
taken by the African slaves, who
originally obtained the Idea from In
dia. The unmuslciil nnme "banjo"
seems to hnve been derived from
"bnnyn," the nnme of n SenegnmbliMi

Markings of Horse's Coat,
It Is found that there is a very defi
nite connection between the coat color
of horsea and the frequency with
which white markings occur. Thus
the latter are by far the most com
monly associated with the chestnut
color. And not only are they the most
prevalent In chestnut horses, but It la
also, of course, a well-known fact that
the markings are apt to be more ex-
lenaea m nature in the case of this
color than In Umt of any other. Chest
nut, therefore, amiarent.lv hokkpssos
to speak, a special affinity for these
markings. Bay ranks next as regards
the degree of frequency with which
white markings appear In horses of
this color, although it conies a, good
way behind chestnut in thlR resnect.
Then follows brown, while the white
marks are met with less frennenllv
among black and rwn colored horses.
Why Strike Collapsed.
Two telegraph onerutors workeil In
the office of the Milwaukee Free Press.
Both were employed by the press as
sociation and not by the paper. They
came soused one Sunday niirht. de
cided to strike, making demands for
more pay and shorter hours from the
managing editor of the newsniiner.
They were told to make their petition
to their employers. The telegraphers
retired for a council of war. tint th
strike Into effect and decided to picket
the othce. The office hud but one en
trance, but there must be strategy;
so one of tlie strikers posted himself
directly in front of the office nnd the
other around the corner, the two be
ing out of sight of eucli other.
Then each had the same hunch of
totting another drink. They left their
posts and that was" the end of the
strike. Other operators were called In
and the wires buzzed merrily on.
