An interesting communication on
the road district situation and urg
ing the Importance of the various
districts voting special tax for road
niainatinanc.e in their own districts,
was received too late for publication
1ut will appear next week. The road
district boundaries have been chang
ed recently and the point Is urged
that the general nad fund does not
lei mil necessary repair work in
many districts and that a small spec
ial lax will go far In keeping the
roads in fair condition during the
winter season.

resident of Heppner and for years a
county commissioner of Morrow
county, is here this week visiting his
daughter, Mrs. W. P. Cox, of Hepp

Made Desert Bloom

plant six acres in a seed coin plot
and on which lie was to have an op
tion at harvest time at a sum which
is today considerably above market
price. He furnished all the seed for
the 2 4 acres that we planted.
ben the spring opened up,
mornings and evenings, Saturdays
and holidays, yes I must confess it,
Sundays, too, found the loyal wife
and our boy and myself busy, busy,
busy, plowing, planting, weeding,
working to tlie end that the whole
place would be in crop. When the
wind blew and the dust obscured the
noonday sun we kept at it and hoped
that, tomorrow the weather man
would apologize for what he did to
us today.
"Yes we planted nearly everything
we could think of. I am not going
to enumerate them all. When I tell
you that we exhibited at our local
fair thirty-one different articles all
successfully grown on new land with
out, the aid of fertilizer you can
imagine that we arenotdiscouraged.
As I sit here pounding the type
writer I can look out of the window
at a beautiful green lawn where a
year ago was cactus and sage
brush. Due to the patient and end
less care of my splendid helpmeet I
can see the roses blossoming along
the. Sweet peas, morning glories,
wild cucumbers, cosmos, golden glow
and other lovely flowers planted and
cared for by the same faithful hands
add peace, beauty and contentment
and I find it hard to even imagitne
what It was a year ago. The corn I
watered twice. Once before planting
and once after the second cultivation.
I cultivated it three times. It is
turning out splendidly. Better than
thirty bushels to the acre while from
the ten acres seeded In May to alfal
fa about eighteen tons of hay have
been gathered and another crop Is
yet to be cut. Among just a few
of the things we have successtully
grown and harvested this year I
might mention are strawberries, pea
nuts, cantalopes, peppers, carrots,
Held peas, turnips, cabbage, tomatoes
beans of different varieties, squashes
rhubarb, asparagus, potatoes, etc.
As I look at It all with a feeling
of deepest gratitude to the Eternal
Goodness that can make such mir
acles possible I cannot help' but
think of the prophecy of Isaiah
that water shall spring forth in des
ert places and the desert valley
shall blossom as the rose." Surely
we can see the fullfilment In this,
the land of promise.
"A year ago I would not have be
lieved the story I have told you as
possible of accomplishment."
