A study (;f the Jiorfjw county vote
o:i the nine measures sutiiuiued to
liie people la:,t i'. iday .shows a result
tiiat is not only a en-dit to the pro
gressive spirit cf the couniy but also
that tie; hijj hearted people of the
buneli ra:-,s country are willing and
ady to put up some of their money
to aid the unfortunate.
While every measure of the ballot
was carried by heavy majorities t lie
Measure providing lor the erection
and equipment of a modern school
for the blind was given the heaviest
affirmative vote of ail.
The 4 per cent road bond measure
was plainly a business proposition
and wits recognized as such by the
voters. The educational bills were
looked upon largely as business pro
positions on the ground that In this
age education pays in dollars and
cents. Hut the Blind School must
have been looked upon as a purely
humanitarian measure for the reason
tiiat the number of blind children in
I he county is negligible.
The vote is a credit to the big
li-arted, open handed people of
Morruw county.

As a direct result of the activities
of a committee appointed by the com
mercial club a few weeks ago to take
up the matter of free express1 delivery
in Heppner, R. C. Hiatt, auditor of
the American Express Co., visited
Heppner Thursday to make an inves
tigation of the local situation and re
port to his company.
After looking the situation over
curefully and conferring with many
of the business men Mr. Hiatt, took
pieliminary steps towards securing a
suitable building in the uptown bus
iness district with an agent to look
after the express business. The gen
tleman had no definite statement to
make regarding the probable action
of the company, but his attitude
seemed to be distinctly favorable to
giving Heppner a better service.
The gentlemen composing the
committee to whom credit is due this
action are John Patterson, Sam
Hughes and George Aiken.
A definite reply from the company
is expected at an early date.
CUIEDItEN POISONED AT -MNtiTON
Mr. and Mrs. Ben McMullen and
Harry McMullen were called to Ar
lington Friday by the death of the
five-year-old- son of their brother,
Tom McMullen, of that town. The
child and his three-year-old brother
were playing around the place as us
ual during the morning and at noon
were taken violently ill the older boy
passing away In a few hours. The
smaller child was rushed to a hospi
tal at The Dalles where it was re
ported Sunday morning he would
probably recover. What the children
could have picked up and eaten that
would produce such disasterous re
sults is not laiown. The little boy
was burled at Arlington, Saturday.
Mrs. lien Mullen is yet at The Dalles
.o-sisting with the care of the child
in the hospital there.

secretary of agriculture, there is now
no special obstacle to the coii-uruc-tbm,
in the different states of the
Union, of those ronds which serve the
greatest economic needs. In his an
mint report. .Secretary Houston says:
"Good roads are esseutial to ihe
prosperity mid well-being of urban and
rural communities alike. They are
l'iereiuisiie for the urderly and sys
tematic marketing of farm products
for tlie establishment of satisfactory
rural schools, and for the develop
ment of u richer and more attractive
rural life. Recognizing these facts
tiie federal government, through the
pussage of the federal aid road act in
lUHi, Inaugurated u policy of direct
financial participation in road-building
operations in the various states. This
act appropriated $75,0)0.0(X). to be
matched by nn equal amount from the
states, for the construction of rural
post roads over a period of five vettrs.
and $10.000,000 $1,000,000 i. year foi
10 years for roads within or purtlj
within the national forests. H re
quired each state to have u lespiiiisibie
central highway commission with ihe
requisite powers and funds. All the
states have complied with the terms
of the act, although It was, necessary
for them to enact additional legisla
tion, or to amend their constitutions;
to provide sufficient funds to match
the federal apportionment: and to
strengthen existing central highway
bodies or to create new agencies.
"When these preliminary steps had
been practically completed and the de
partment and the states were about
ready to proceed vigorously with the
actual construction of roads, the
United States entered the war.- it noon
became necessary greatly to curtail
highway building because of the dif
ficulty of securing transportation, con
struction materials, and the requisite
services. After the nrmlstlce was
signed, arrangements promptly were
made for the nctlve resumption and
vigorous prosecution of road work In
all sections of the country, not only
with a view to repair the damage
wrought by the heavy truffle forced
upon our highways during the war.
when maintenance operations were
seriously interfered with, but nlso to
provide adequate transportation facili
ties to serve tlie Increased needs of
agriculture and Industry. Recognizing
also that rotul - building activities
would furnish suitable employment
for mnny unemployed men during the
period of transition from war to peace,
the congress nt Its Inst session, ac
cepting the recommendation of the
department of agriculture, appropriat
ed SUOO.om.OOO. In ndilltlon to the $85.
000,000 provided by tlie original act.
for the extension of road construction
In co-operation with the stntes, and
also made some Important amend
ments to the net. The definition of
the kind of roads that can be con
structed was greatly hronrionwl and
the limitation on the federal contribu
tion for any one road was Increased
from $10,000 to $20,000 a mile. These
amendments hnve grently facilitated
consideration of and action upon the
roinl projects submitted by the state
highway commissions. There Is now
no special obstacle to the construc
tion. In the different states of the
Viilon, of the roads which serve the
