Due to the courtesy of V. P. Ma
honey, ol the First National Bank,
the writer enjoyed an extended trip
througl- a considerable area of Mor
row county's stock and fanning Lec
tions last Sunday finding conditions
all along the line looking decidedly
premising.
The trip was made in Mr. Ma
honey's big Hudson car, a machine
that travels comfortably and some
what speedily over any and all kinds
oi roads, sage brush plains, cultivat
ed fields, sheep ranges, rocky hills,
sand dune canyons, mule rabbit pre
serves and badger pastures without
to much as halting for breath or call
ing for water.
The party left Heppner "at 10:30,
drove up Hinton creek to the Kilken
ny ranch where Mr. Kilkenny's shear
ing plant was in full operation. The
way those fellows rip the fleece off
a big wether with the compressed-air-driven
shears ia not slow. Some ex
pert shearers turn out as many as 175
head in a day. Mr. Kilkenny will
shear about 10,000 head of his own
sheep at his plant as well as several
bands belonging to neighboring
sheepmen. He will also shear several
thousand of his own stock at another
ranch.
The fleeces are rather light this
season, Mr. Kilkenny says, but other
wise the wool Is of excellent quality.
The next stop was made at the E.
O. Neill ranch, on Butter Creek,
where Mr. Neill operates perhaps the
most complete and well arranged
sheep plant in the county. This is
on what was formerly the It. F. Wig
ltsworlh runch which Mr. Neill pur
chased several months ugo. This pur
chase gave Mr. Neill 7,100 acres of
land In a body on Butter Creek and
the surrounding country, besides
large holdings of summer range land
in the mountains.
M''. Neill runs about 10,000 head
of f hci p of both fine and coarse woo!
breed.

The Morrow county grand jtnv.
empanele! by Judge Phelps Monday
morning, May 10, remained in i
sion until a late hour Thursday even
in,; while investigating a number ol
criminal cases which had been called
to their attention.
Jude I'ludps., v.-ho has returned
to Pendleton after adjourning court
last Tuesday, was notified Ti li 1H5
morning that the grand jury wouid
be ready to make a report that t vein-
and at l-'id Thursday evening
ooi'.i t was convened to receive the re
port. Many cases were investigated and
up to Friday afternoon five indict
ments had been made public when
clre. defendants were brought into
court, airnigned, and fyiven an op
portunity to plead to the charges.
W. H. Hayes, an aged man was in
dicted for the crime of rape on his
adopted daughter, and upon being
arraigned, entered a plea of guilty
and was given an indeterminate sen
tence of from one to five years; in
the penitenitary.
Jess Coates was charged with the
crime of rape, the girl in the case be
ing Violet Coates, a minor. The de
fendant entered a plea of not guilty
and was placed under $1000 bail.
Another case oi the same charac
ter come from lone in which R. N.
Hymer is charged by his minor dau
ghter, Thcrma Hymer, with a statu
tory crime. The girl also implicated
John Blake and Elmer Cochran, both
of lone, as being guilty of the same
offense.
Hymer entered a plea of not guilty
and was placed under $2 500 bail.
Blake also plead not guilty and was
placed under bonds in the sum of
$1000, as was also Cochran who is a
boy of apparently about 20 years of
age.
All the cases will probably go over
to the September term of court for
trial.

Tax Duly Solution
That the people of Oregon are
keenly interested in the passage of
the bill which provides for a two mill
tax levy for the support and mainten
ance of the elementary schools of the
sta'.o is attested by the hundreds of
organizations that have given it
unanimous endorsement and the hun
dreds of people who are devoting
their time to the furtheianee of its
success.
Mrs. Alexander Thompson, Oregon's
only woman legislator, who is the
author of the bill, says in speaking of
it: "There is a shortage of 140,000
school teachers in this country and
of this number Oregon has her full
quota, our shortage being 500. A
total of 230 school rooms are locked
.mil bolted because there are no
teachers, 4600 Oregon children lack
school facilities and unless there is
relief by the voting of this measure
the number will be doubled next year.
The number of teachers leaving Ore
gon schools to go into other profes
sions lias more than doubled during
the era of the high cost of living. The
Increase in living costs during thla
independence or charity for the
hind of the state is the issue involved
in the ballot measure at the state
election May 21, providing for the
establishment of a state industrial
ind employment institution for the
Jlind. If the measure is adopted the
blind of Orison will have a means of
learning art,-, and trades and doing
work that wjl make them self-nup-
