The Hallowe'en Carnival given by
the Irrigon school carnival company
proved a great success. Financially
it was more than could have been ex
pected. A large crowd of Boardman
people motored to Irrigon for the oc
casion and we sure appreciate their
attendance and our people should
turn out to Boardman affairs when
ever it is possible.. A large crowd
always make a success of this kind of
an entertainment. Every effort was
made to kill the colored boy with
egg throwing but only a few hits
were scored. Max Watkins hit the
nigger on the bean and won 50 bones
of Carnival money but did not have
time to spend the fifty dollars be
fore closing time and is now trying
to stage another carnival to get his
money's worth.
The past week has been very busy
one about Irrigon. The association
has been loading several cars of hay
daily of choice grades for the At
lantic coast business. Tum-A-Lum
received two cars of coal and the
railroad company a couple of car
loads of ties. This has taxed our
house track to the very limit and
making the shippers work somewhat
to a disadvantage.
The Tum-A-Lum Lumber Co. has
decided they will install the scales
and the farm bureau withdrew their
application for lease of the company
right-of-way for the purpose of put
ting in scales. The Farm Bureau
did not want to install scales and be
bothered witli them unless compelled
to do so for business reasons. The
Lumber company have, men on the
works now.
