The Romance of the
Indian Blanket
A WOVEN chronicle of Indian lore of myths suggested
bv the setting: sun, the rippling waves, the geese flyinz
southward. There's interest for everyone in these impres
sions preserved by the Indian squaw in her weaving now
carried on by the Oregon City Woolen Mills where her
crude handloom ceased.
These Indian Blankets are so true in design that most of the Indian
tribes of the West wear them.
Jacobs' Oregon City Indian Blankets serve a score of nerds' far
motoring for traveling for home use especially to those peon';
who enjoy out-of-door pleasures. Thrir brilliant, barbaric beauty tn 1
the symbolism of their designs add much to th:ir interest. They are
dyed in the wool their colors are permanent.
Come in and let us ihow you the newest designs in "Oregon City" Indisn
Blankets.

Prof H. A. Scullen, of O. A. C.
i accompanied by L A. Hunt, our re
tiring county agent, held a meeting
at the Glasgow's ranch Tuesday and
gave "some demonstrations as to the
handling and care of bees. Practi
cally every one in the community
who has any bees or expects to have
in the future attended the
meeting and believe they are well
paid for the time taken up. Frof.
Scullen is a specialist on bees and is
going over the state assisting the
beemen to make the business a pay
ing proposition.
David E. Lofgren', an attorney o(
Portland, who owns and operates the
pumping plant three miles west of
Irrigon, spent several days here dur
ing the week. He had an expert
witli him to make some necessary re
pairs to his plant. Mr. Lofgren tells
us that he has plans well under way
to put in a larger pumping plant at
some high point on his section, cap
able of irrigating several acres of
land. Several owners in his district
are going together and form a com
pany to accomplish this,
M. C. Athey. former editor of the
Hermiston Herald and Bernard
Mainwaring, his successor, were in
Iwigon on business Friday. Mr.
Mainwaring promies to visit us of
ten in the future.
Mr. and Mi Glasgow, and Gen
evla and Mr. and Mrs. B'ggleston
motored to Hermiston Saturday to
attend to business matters and took
in the movies in the evening.
C. W. A gee and son, spent a
couple of days in Irrigon last week
after building a small house on their
newly purchased acreage east of
town.
Lyle Seaman has purchased the
red bug of Dr. Gales and is making
regular trips to Umatilla these days
with cucumbers and other truck.
Mrs. H. C. Wolfe and children are
spending a few days vacation in Port
land visiting her mother Mrs. J
Wagner.
Lyle Seaman spent the week end
with friends in Portland
The park has been full of tourists
nearly every night recently, and If
we had more conveniences such as
water pipd into the park, tables
and stoves, we could have from 20
to 50 autos parked every night. It
is up to the community to keep tip
the park and provide necessary
camping equipment for another sea
son as we certainly cannot lose on
such a deal. The amount of water
melons and other produce we could
sell to the tourists, would pay us a
thousand time over in one seaon.
We realize that our parking facilities
are quite equal to any some distance
east or west of us and this of course
accounts for the tourists now stop
ping but with still better equipment,
we could attract nearly all of the
tourists coinimg through this part of
the country.
N. Seamen and son and T. Grim
ajid sons report having had ripe
melon on the 15th. We will be able
to supply the market in a few days.
There will be a few less huckle
berries in the mountains by the end
of the week. The Markhams, Hen-
fiels, McCoys, Graybeals, Stewards
and several others are either on the
way up to Meacham and Kamela or
will be before this goes to press.
Huckleberries are reported plentiful
and will probably be had for less
money than in many years pant.
Don't forget the rabbits. See
last weeks issue for the formula to
feed them. Several more report
even greater success and the writer Is
confident that if this idea Is followed
generally over the country, the rab
bits will be made scarce everywhere
and it Is up to the farmers to get
busy and accomplish this. Pass the
word to your neighbor and get them
all to act at once.
Mr. and Mrs. It. A. Chisholm and
children of Twisp, Washington, and
Mrs. Schutter, Mrs. Chisholiiis moth
er, were camped In the shades a
couple of days last week. Mr. Chis
holm is an old timer in this part of
the country amKsays he built the
lighting plant at Hermiston some
twelve years ago. Mrs. Schutter
was looking over the country i
view of locating here later. They
returned to Twisp via Irrigon ferry
line, through Pros r and contral
Washington Monday morning.
PORTLAND, OR., Following the
recent announcement that the date
of the settlers' excursion from the
middle west to Oregon had been post
poned from July 1 ?th to September
20th upon request of large numbers
of homeseekers who are unable to
make the trip until after harvest, the
Oregon State Chamber of Commerce
is making complete preparatioi

been urged to complete the listing of
available lands in each community
for the information of the settlerv

know in advance the price am'
scription of actual tracts of land in
each district of the state.

WASHINGTON, July 21. Secre
tary of the Navy Daniels, who is to
visit Portland, Astoria and the Col
umbia river, as well as the naval base
site mear Astoria has had to delay
his trip to the Pacific for several
reasons. One of the most Important
is the series of bombing tests now
coming to a close, which sought to
test the relative superiority of air
craft and various typs of war ves
sels. He will not return 'to Washing
ton for a day or two, and will not be
ready to announce his itinerary for
several days after that. He plans
tentatively to leave Washington
about August 1st, but that dale is
subject to change.

(By L. A. Hunt)
At the meeting held In Pendleton,
Saturday July 23, between represen
atives of the Washington and Ore
gon Co-operative Hay Gdowers as
sociaitions step ever undertaken in
the marketing of hay in the United
Sates was initiated.
Under the plan the two associa
tions which are actively enageiV in
the collecting together under an iron
clad contract of the hay for sale will
undertake to deliver all this- hay to
the. consumer through one agency.
This will be a very decided reduc
tion in the overhead expense over the
old system of marketing. It is- anti
cipated that as soon as arrangements
can be made to lilt quarantine that
the Idaho association and possibly
the Montana will join in this sales
agency, .
The agency has at least a hund
red thousand tons in, sight now lor
sale this fall. Under then, plan the
agencies will simply make arrange
ment for the sale of the hay. look
after collections, but the money will
be handled directly by the two State
associations and delivered by tlmm
to their respective growers in accor
dance with the plans of their sep
arate contract.
One of the important features of
tliiS plan is that all the hay will be
sold on state grades and subject to
state inspection whereever possible.
The present market for hay is very
unsatisfactory being entirely a specu
lators market and all sales made are
practically force sales by men anxious
to realize some money. The prevail
ing price for hay at the present time
in Hermiston Is from $10 to $10.50.
The price at which the asoclation is
selling hay is $12 petr ton I'.o.b. ship
ping point. The reason, for I his sav
ing is that the association is able to
deliver to the consumer with a far
lesi overhead expense.
Within a few days the truslees of
I ho association will hold I heir first
meeting at which a sales manager
will be employed and the selling
campaign which is now in progress
will be expanded to take care of the
whole territory available for I he two
associations.
Upon tho ratification of Hiik plan
and the inaugural ion of real action,
by the agencies .the Washington and
Oregon associations will initiate a
membership campaign to incieise
their present sign-up with tho idea
thai every man who desires to sell
hay through thi.s agency will bo giv
en an opportunity.
It is anticipated Ihat these two
agencies will cover their entire hay
producing districts before a great
length of time.

THAT inrecognition of these facts, the Unil'd

Tax from the business.
THAT several thousand dollars in WAR Taxes
have been paid by patriotic citizens of Ileppner
because of the Government's indorsement of the
