IF YOU WANT ALL THE NEWS OF MORROW COUNTY WHILE IT IS NEWS, READ THE HEPPNER HERALD. WE PRINT IT FIRST VOLUME IX HEPPNER, OREGON, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1923 NUMBER 43 SERIES OF IE TO BE HELD IN GOUNTY SERIES OF MEETINGS A11RAXO ED FOR THJS COUNTY O. A. C. Experts Will Spend Several Days Here During Present Weefc R. S. Besse, market specialist con nected with the extension department of O. A. C, accompanied by R. Gunn, of the same department, will hold a series of meetings in Morrow county this week at which the discus sion of wreat marketing problems will be the chief topic. These meetings are being conduct ed by the college extension depart ment in connection with the county agent work. Their purpose is en agent work, Their purpose is to dis-l cover the best means for marketing farm products. "It is our purpose," stated Mr. Besse, in discussing these meetings, "to secure the farmer's own views on best methods of disposing of farm crops. After a thorough discussion it is invariably found that there is a general agreement that marketing of .farm products is a collective problem and ncft an individual problem. In other words, it cannot adequately be dealt with Individually. Some sort of co-operative marketing, therefore, is the logical conclusion to be drawn. "The next point considerel is whether or not a marketing organiz; tion already exists to function' In the specific fields under discussion. If such an organization does not exist an attempt is made to find out why It has not yet been organize. T proposal is made that close consid eration should be given to the pro position of bringing into existence the necessary organization. "If it is found that an organization already Is in operation it is in order to find out why some inlividuals are holding back and are not supporting it. If co-opf?rative marketing, as nearly everyone agrees, is a neces sity, then it is equally necessary that everyone concerned should support it. The important factor of personal re sponsibility is shown to exist between those who are engaged in producing the same commodity. This matter of responsibility is brought directly home to each individual." Following the meetings in Morrow county, Mr. Besse will continut with the series in other parts of the state. ( There are now six state wide com molity marketing organizations in Oregon and, according to Mr. Besse, this state may well be proud of the position it holds among other states in the development of co-operative marketing of farm products. The meetings scheduled for this week are as follows At lone Thursday, February 22, all day. At Morgan Friday, February 23, morning and afternoon. At Alpine Friday, February 23, evening. , , At Boardman Saturday, February 24, day meeiting, and at Irrigon the same evening. Because if the snow conditions and drifted roads no meetinngs have been scheduled for the southern part of the county at this time. WILL COLONIZE OREGON" LANDS Portland, Or., Feg. 15. (Special) W. G.

TO START SOON ONIIKR.RESERTOIR!SOLDIERS' DEPENDENTS Some itlme during the coming sum mer dirt will be flying oa the McKay reservoir job, and there will be work there for 400 or 500 men, according to indications. The sum of $263,000 is in the budgee for the year expiring June 30, 1923, and the budget for the year following carries $750,000 for tlys project, thus mak ing a total of $1,113,000 for the pro ject up to a year from July 1. It is estimated that the money available will be sufficient to do more than half the work and that the funds for competing the enter prise will be available by the time needed. F. E. Weymouth, chief tngineer of the reclamation service, is now en route to Oregon to start work on the project and on the Baker project in Baker county. The coming of Mr. Weymouth is awaited as instructions from him are desired in connection with securing right of way. At pres ent the government representatives and owners of land on McKay needed are unable to come to terms. Mr. Weymouth will be consulted as to whetrer condemnation proceedings shall be started. If this action is taken there will bje no delay in start ing .work, as the government can at once take possession of the property and proceed to business, allowing the courts to determine upon the amount to be paid for the land. The view of Mr. Schilling, projeot engineer, as given is that actual work will be started som time during the summer. Just when cannot be told. The government will hr.ndle the work direct, not getting a contract, and the Denver office is already planning up on the equipment needed. The gov ernment will establish bunk houses mess houses, etc., for caring for the workers on the job. The starting of work on the dam will provide much work for laborers of various sorts. As much of the expense will be for abor the work on the project will mean approxi mately $1,000,000 of outside money for the county during the ytar. Her miston Herald.

SWAGGART NEW RULING AFFECTS Many beneficiaries of the U.. S. Veterans' Bureau will be paid addi tional compensation as result of a new ruling announced gy L. C. Jes sep, Pacific northwest manager ol the bureau. The act of congress, under whir benefits are disbursed, prevents awards on account of dependent rel atives of veterans from being made effective more than one year prior to the date when claim for additional compensation for such dependents was made. Mr. Jesseph stated many veterans who had, while in training under the federal board for vocation al training under the federal board for vocational education, claimed ad ditional training pay for dependents, failed until long afterwards to file with the Veterans' Bureau of War Risk Insurance, any claim for addi tional compensation on account of de pendents. Mr. Jesseph stated that the new ruling permits a claim for additional training pay to be construed as a claim for additional compensation also, and, if presented on or before August 9, 1921, to be considered filed with the Veterans' Bureau as of that date because the vocational training records were then placed un der the jurisdiction of the bureau. As a consequence, Mr. Jesseph ex plained, additional compensation for dependent relatives fay, in a consid erable number of cases, be extended back to August, 9, 1920, and where that can! legally be done the benefic iaries affected will be mailed checks to cover the additional amounts ac crued under this new interpretation of the law. v v i !

The colts are all greenhorns as yet but they are making a good showing for the short time they have bejen in training. TiaJuana is thronged with tourists and prices ar0 fully as high as eny- one could expect, oranges selling at 15 cents each and hard likker at 4- bits a finger. Mr. Swaggart said that he admired one thing in Mexico and that was the speedy enforcement of their laws.
