THE JOHN DAY PROJECT.
plf K ELECTION of two new directors of the John Day
J- irrigation district at the election held last Tuesday is a
matter of more than ordinary interest to everybody in
Morrow coifnty.
The citizens most directly interested are, of course,
the land owners in the district who have to bear the burden
of all expenses incident to the preliminary work necessary
to ct the affairs of the district in shape to be properly pre
sented to federal officials with a view to securing govern
ment co-operation in developing the project, and who will
also directly share in the ultimate profits if the project is
brought to a successful conclusion.
All other citizens of the county are, of course, indi
rectly interested in the success or failure of the project, be
cause of the general material development of the county
which is hound to result from the reclamation of sue 11 an
mini-use acreage of fertile soil now practically worthless
except as winter pasturage.
The laud owners who took part in the recent election
evidently wanted a change in the directorate and manage
ment of the district, which was their unquestioned right,
'!! : in thai phase of the situation the Herald has no intcr
( :. : h.'y are tin people who have to pay the tax assess
ui' lit which has been levied by the board of directors to
meet the expenses above referred to, and all will agree that
sniy increase in taxation at this time of general depression,
shortage of money and lack of markets for Morrow county
products, is a bitter pill for any of us, and one that we
would all gladly sidestep ifwecould.
The Herald has no information as to what will be the
policy of the new directors in carrying on the work of the
district. Both are men of high standing in their con(muni
ties, successful business men and progressive citizens, and
Uliis newspaper believes that it voices the general senti
ment of the people of both counties in believing that their
policy will be constructive, wise and progressive.
The reclamation of this gigantic project and the set
tlement and cultivation of its boundless acreage will add
many times the present wealth to both Morrow and Gilliam
counties in productiono and modern Jiving, and will make
possible thousands of happy homes where now sand, si
lence, and jack rabbits reign supreme.
The present hoard of directors no doubt performed
jtlie duties delegated to them in such manner as they be
lieved to be for the best interests of the district, and it is no
doubt true that the present period of readjustment and the
resultant depression has been the chief cause for whatever
dissatisfaction (hat may exist, and it is to be hoped that un
der the new management a way will be found to continue
Mhe work of development in such a way as will cause the
least possible burden on anybody, and with the ultimate re
sult of the greatest advantage to the land-owners directly
concerned, as well as to the general welfare of the county
and .state.

writing a low words on. the subjfrt. '
Wiili all due respect to .Mr. Dennett, j
I think lit; must have been troubled !
wiih jereniaids while writing his ar- i
tide on Morrow county. We thank
him, at toast, for the statement:.
"Fate has decreed that the communi
ties generally must join the pauper
class were they not about
the games t lot on earth," etc. Anent
his rather belittling expression, that
"some hay is cut on the Willow creek
bottom," I can say on the best au
thority that, on an average, 3,500
tons of alfalfa are annually grown on
the Hynd Bros., Hendriksen and
Minor & Krebs ranches light here at
Cecil, and that more than 2,800 head
of beef cattle were fed out here on
a part of Mr. Bennetts "some hay"
last winter, and sent to the Portland
markets. Between 25,000 and 30,
000 head of sheep are also wintered
here yearly on a portion of this hay
nop that Mr. Bennett seems to con
sider to insignificant. Our Cecil
warehouse is filled to its fullest ca
pacity with all grades of wheat
grown in the Cecil neighborhood, be
sides many thousands of bushels that
were sold and shipped out last sum
mer before the price dropped to less
than cost of production and the
warehouseful is only awaiting the
turn of the tide in the wheat mar
ket. Mr. Benneit would please readers
of the Oregonian in this vicinity bet
ter if, in his writings about Mor
row county, he would adhere to the
"nod old rule of rendering honor
where honor is due.

PROTECT THE SHADE TREES.
(COMPLAINT comes from several resident s of Heppner
that the free pest known as "lircblighl" is spreading
from the fruit trees and attacking the shade trees in al
most all sections of the city. The disease makes its attack
at the tip of the hranches and travels downward. It is eas
ily discovered during the growing season, because of the
fact that as soon as the branch is .attacked the leaves die
and turn brown.
Y. ( ). Minor, who is considered something of an au
thority on plant and tree lore, when interviewed by the
Herald, said that the disease is the same as that known
anions;' orchardists as "pear blight." It first appeared in the
pear orchards of western and southern Oregon some ten
or fifteen years ago, at first at lacking only pear trees. Later
it commenced makim inroads on apple orchards, and now
in I leppner it secm to b
