IRRIGON, BOARDMAN DISTRICTS
CARRY HOME MXTCH BACON
Irrigon First With Community Ex
hibit Hoard man Leads In The
School Club Work
The showing taade by the enter
prising fruit-growers' of Irrigon at
the county fair last -week was a prac
tical demonstration of what a proper
combination of water, soil and sun
shine means in the way of produc
tion and should be a big help in the
worTc of promoting and getting early
action on the John Day project.
Irrigon won in a walk in t!he com
munity exhibit contest and if there is
any good thing that grows out of the
ground in the temperate zone that
was not included in the Irrigon ex
hibit this writer did not miss it.
H. W. Grim and M. E. Doble were
in charge of the exhibit and are en
titled to credit for the attractive dis
play of he numerous products.
Growers represented in the Irrigon
display were R. V. Jones, Gene An
drews, Frank Rider, W. B. Howard,
Lee Grabill, G. W. Sampson, R. L.
Wisdom, Thurston Grim, T. Grim,
Lyle Seaman, G. W. Rand, C. E. Glas
gow, J. . Brackenberry, J. W. Walker,
Mrs. C. P. Boies, N. Seaman, C. P.
Smith, LaDoble Fruit Farm, and the
exhibits covered everything from the
meek and lowly peanut, and the mod'
est ground cherry to the rosy peach
the royal purple grape and the mam
moth water melon. Only medium
sized melons were brought over this
year ranging around 40 pounds each
the big ones being kept for home
consumption. There were splendid
almonds, perfect pop coin, egg plant
and perhaps the most unusual exhibit
was the castor beans which are said
to grow to perfection at Irrigon.
There wjis a Buniple of Kola Rabl
which is like neither a glass of koko
kola or a rabbit but rather more re
sembles rutabaga with whiskers
around the top of its head.
Time and space will not permit a
detailed report on the prize winners
this week but this will be given In a
later Issue of the Herald.
Boardman, the new town over In
the north end whose enterprising
people are always boosting their
school, was principally represented
by the industrial club work of her
school children. The exhibit was In
charge of Miss Barratt, efficient In
structor In the Domestic science de
partment of the Boardman high
school, who brought with her a de
monstrating class of nine 6 girls
and three boys. This exhibit attract
ed much attention and favorable
comment besides being awarded 1st
', prise as a school exhibit, 1st Id can
ning demonstration and 1st In third
year sewing. The exhibit was taken
to the state fair being accompanied
by Miss Barratt, teacher, and Belle
Packard, Dorothy Boardman and
Gladys Taine, pupil-demonstrators.

DISTRESS AMONG THE POOR CLASSES
Among the poorer classes of Salonika and the rest of the Balkan, towns typhus found easy victims. These people,
os our photograph shows, negligent ns to personal cleanliness, unable to get even changes of clothing due to great tex
tile shortage, were practically at the mercy of the disease.
BERT
PECK MAKES
HI BIT
FIXE EX-
B. H. Peck, who by the way is a
real farmer, never fails to be at the
county fair with a splendid exh'loit.
While Mr. Peck's place Is a "dry"
farm,' pretty well up In the foothills
on upper Rhea creek, he made a
showing of products that would in
dicate that Mr. Peck and his family
could live very comfortably for
a long time if cut off from all trade
relations with the outside v.o'ld.
Tlitro was wheat, corn and pot.uo'.3
and butter and honey and eg;-- all
kinds of fruit and veget:il leg. By
way of letting the public in nu his
secret of raising such a varied dis
play on a dry ranch, Mr. Peon lmd
tins sign over his exhibit: "it's the
k il and a little rain."

BRANCH TRAIN HAH ACCIDENT
Heppner cltliens received no mall
last Sunday evening the reason being
that the big locomotive that (srohlee
along over the alleged railway be
tween here and the Junction blew out
cylinder head and went Into the
ditch a mile this side of Leilngson
that same evening. Nobody was
hurt and the addition of t few hours
delsy In arrival Is nothing when a
community gets used to It which
Heppner Is.

NEW HOTEL PROJECT
NOW SEEMS ASSURED
FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENTS AL
MOST COMPLETED
AV. Burke Meets With Hotel I)i
rectors Who Make Application
For Loan
After any months of vexatious and
discouraging delays the matter of
financing the hotel project seems to
be entering the final lap.
V. W. Burke, representing the
Western Building & Loan association
of Salt Lake, arrived in Heppner
Monday and at a meeting of the Di
rector accepted an application for a
loan and Immediately forwarded the
same to his company's headquarters
at Salt Lake, and returns are ex
pected to be received here by the
lpst of the week.
Mr. Bulk assured the board of di
rectors that he did not anticipate
any delay In having the matter con
sumated and everybody Interested,
either directly or Indirectly will be
mightily pleased to know that Hepp
ner's second greatest material need
Is to be speedily met.
Several weeks' precious time has
been lost in the hotel matter because
of failure of the building committee
to locute Mr. Burke who makes his
headquarters In Portland. John F.
Vaughn, chairman of the committee
went to Portland several weeks ago
but failing to meet Mr. Burke In the
limited time at his disposal he turn
ed the alter over to Mr. Bennes, the
architect In charge, to attend to. Mr.
Bonne. It seems, misunderstood Just
whst Burke was wsnted and for
several weeks was on the trail of the
wrong man who was out of the city
while the other Mr. Burke was In
Portlsnd all the time looking for
business In t3ie form of Just such
loans as the hotel company needed.
However, all's well that ends well
and If no further delays arise Hepp
ner may hope to soon see a new hotel
Id course of construction.
Everett Psttlson left for Portland
this morning for a few days visit.
E. G. Noble and "Rtoney" enjoyed
their vacation thle week by moving
the harness shop Into new quarters.

display of jellies, jams and preserves
at the fair last week. Out of a total
of seven varieties exhibited she capt
ured 5 first prizes and one second
prize. Mrs. Scrivner has been an ex
hibitor at the Morrow county fair for
five years and during that time she
has carried away 34 first and 15 sec
ond premiums.
Mrs. Scrivner requested the Herald
reporter to express 'her appreciation
to friends who supplied flowers
which added to the attractiveness of
her exhibit. She does not care par-
ticulady either for the honor of re
ceiving awards nor for the monetary
value of the prizes but Is actuated
only by desire to help make the Mor
row county fair a success.
Mrs. Scrivner is;a pioneer resident
of Heppner having lived here for 30
years, and since the death of her hus
band, W. P. Scrivner, she lias been

GENERAL BULLETIN NO. 11.
At a recent meeting of the Direct
ors of the United States Grain Corpo
ration, at New York City, it was de
termined to define a little more
clearly, what constitutes a retail
transaction in the purchase of wheat.
Under the license requirements,
retailers are not required to have
licenses, but it 1b now determined
that the purchase of wheat direct
from the farmer for the purpose of
resale, or manufacture, no matter
how small the quantity cannot be
considered a retail transaction and
such dealers must hold license.
Retail dealers who purchase wtieat
entirely from licensed operators, are
not required to have license.
License blanks may be obtained
upon request at this office.
