Of the securities sold 140.000 rep- !

The remaining $70,000 belongs to
the Heppner-Mardman road a'.id it is
expected that road will be improved
in the "near future through the the co
operation Of the federal government
from its post and forest road funds.
Because of the large amount of un
finished work confronting the state

not seen its -way clear 'to place the

gram for immediate construction but
recently the proposed Heppner-Hard-man-Spray

dorsement of the Portland official.1,
and it is confidently expected that the
project will be endorsed at headquar
ters and the road will be built.
County Commissioner Bleakman
and Representative R. J. Carsner

Secretary Wallace points out that
the farmer today is receiving for his

prices than he received in 1913 and
1914, before the war. But he is
paying, on an average of 159 per cent
more for the things he has to buy
than he paid in the year 1913.
The result is that in purchasing

Pursuant to authority given i
' 'Chapter 127 of the 1919 Sessio
in
Session
Laws, of the State of
Oegon, the
Morrow County Court has instructed
the County Agent to serve notice to ;
parties owning, leasing, occupying,
possessing, or having charge of, "or
dominion over, any land infested S'ith
jack rabbits, that steps must bfe Taken
immediately to exterminate the same
under the supervision of the bounty
Agent.
Procedure will be as follows:
1. Poison will be furnished free
as long as funds voted fir that pur
pose are available.
2. - Each individual will be re
quired to provide proper bait treat,
put. same out on lands he owns or
controls, which are Infested wi'h
rabbits.
3. Poison will be placed in the
! hands of committeemen, in areas that
are infested, fr-bm whom it. ciin be
secured. It is also available at the
County Agents office.
4. Prepare poison bait a? follows
Dissolve one ounce of lrychnine
sulphate in one gallon f boiling
water and sprinkle on . 10 to 12
pounds 'of alfalfaleaves, last cutting
of alfalfa hay, or wheat' or rye heads,
or short headings. . Stir the bait
constantly so that all will become
thoroughly dampened.
5. Put out in trails in, the can
yons where the rabbits are congregat
ing while the sheep are off of the
range. When the sheep are on the)
range the pens can be used. These
must be baited however before put

SMOKKlt
Friday night 'as one of the livliest
eV'enings lone 'lias seen for many a
day, when the Legion post of that
city nut on a 'smoker that had all the
punch, snap and friendly wallop that
the blood craving specta tors
could hat'e possibly anticipated.
The big affair started off with a
battle royal when five of tone's
younger pugilists were turned loose
in the ring with blin ..folds on and
given the order to 'go get 'em' which
they did and this event proved to be
a'renl eye-opener with enough action
for a world's championship match.
After a couple more prelimin
aries Eads, of Heppner, and Zink, of
nine wni mee last rounds for a de
cision for Ends. Then Johnson and
Aln.lt. put, on the big mittens for
...ia- -ounds and stirred v.n
enough action in that little ring to
give the spectators their money's
worth for the entire show. Ahalt
drew the decision.
Bnitman and Lewis exchanged
man-sized wallops for three rounds
and rated a dra"(v. These fellows
nre going to decide who is the best
man Friday, January 20th when the
Hepnner Post is going to put on a
smoker here. They will have most
of the tali'mt that, appeared at lone
Friday, and from reports, it seems
that a few grudges have arisen since
that affair, which are going to be
wiped off the slate up here.
The 'law also provides that unless
poison is put out as recommended,
the court shall hire tho woiTt done
and (Me expense of same shall be as
sessed to the individuals and the
same collected in the same manner
that'taxeg are collected.
The law is not designed to, and
will not work a hardship on any man
who attempts to comply with its pro
visions. Because of the great damage done
by these rodents the court deems it
imperative and concerted action
be taken and It Is expected that every
individual owning or occupying lands
infested with Jack rabbits, will com
ply promptly to the end that these
rodents may bo controlled and exter
minated while the conditions are fav
orable. Ground squirrels will also come
under the provisions of this Act and
action expected in season.

The big rabbit shoot held last Sun

well as from the standpoint of sport.
About 350 rabbits bit tho dust (or

The h'nnt was promoted by county
agent Calldns, who is ma.king a spe

Head of Market Road Department
Endorses Judgement of County
Court
The 'County road crew has estab
lished a camp and started construc
tion on the Lexington-.larnian mar
ket road and the people of the wheat
belt in that big north-of Lexington
country can expect at least, six miles
ol' good road to travel while mavket
iug their next wheat crop.
Some difference of opinion has ex
isted between the county court and
the district highway engineer over the
location of the road through the
llurehcll properly the county
court and commissioners lavotmg a
location making a square corner
around the property instead of run
ning dtreety through the latter route,
it is said, entailing very serious dam
age to the property. District Engi
neer Unblock was over last week and
refused to sanction the route propos
ed by the local officials insisting on
the route more closely following tho
policy of the highway department iu
building primary roads.
Not being satisfied with tho deci
sion, the county court asked tha
head of the mai'ket road department
to come out and look the matter over
and C. W. Wazner, assistant road en
gineer, came out Saturday and look
ed the ground over Sunday. The re
sult was that Mr. Wanaer upheld tho
judgement of the county court in the
matter nad the road will be built on
the original survey.
While the plan ndopfed makes the
road about a half mile longer, it Is
claimed that it will serve the commu
nity belter than if run on a direct
route and Mr. Wanzer pointed out
that the purpose, of market roads Is lo
3orve the producers of the community
and that the route need not follow
the policy adopted in building pri
mary roads. The const ruction, how
ever, will be standard and Mr. Wan
zer, inspeaking to a Herald reporter
Monday morning, said he expected
ultimately lo see the road connected
up with a standard road leading to
the Columbia Kiver highway und con
necting up Boardman and Irrigon
with the county seat.
There is about $4 5,000 now avail
able Tor the road and six miles, start
ing at Lexington has been designat
ed for improvement this summer.
All right-of-way matters have been
settled except a difference with W. F.
Barnet, of Lexington, who Is a heavy
land owner In that section, who Is not
fully satisfied with the route chosen.
It is believed, however, that this dif
ference will also be adjusted
amicably but If not Judge Campbell
declares It will be taken into the
courts and settled there.
