V .-,.. VOL. 30. NO. 11. HEPPNP:R, OREGON, THURSDAY, JUNE 12, 1913 SUBSCRIPTION, $1.S0 PER TEAR. f Jl JL Urged To Prepare Show Exhibits. Land Portland, Ore. June 10 (Spe cial) From all indications Ore gon will make a better showing in the Eastern Land Shows this year than ever before. The Ore gon State Immigration Commis sion, with headquarters at the Commercial Club, Portland, is urging commercial bodies of the state, as well as individuals, to make suitable exhibits which will be included in the state display with no expense save that of gathering the specimens and tak ing them to the depot. They will be shipped from the nearest railroad point to Portland, as sembled in a general exhibit and will be sent East by the commis sion, but each organization or grower will receive full credit for the products entered. A circular is now being issued by the commission giving direc tions for gathering and shipping the exhibits. Attention is called to the need for careful packing, the selection of only the best specimens and and advice and assistance is offered. It is point ed out that the co-operation of all parts of the state is necessary in order that the agricultural wealth of Oregon may be shown to the best advantage and that success may be attained in com petition for prizes with the ex hibits made by other states. It is suggested that the decision to choose exhibits for this purpose should be made early in the sea son and that a few choice speci mens from each community are much' better to show the East what Oregon can grow than a large quantity of sample grains, iruits and vegetables of mediocre quality. The Southern Pacific Company will spend millions on its Oregon lines during the next two years, according to a formal statement of planned improvements that has been submitted to the Cali fornia railroad commission. The fompany asks for permission , to issue bonds to the amount of $30,000,000 and gives as a reason for the request the number of heavy contemplated investments in this state. Among these are: Electrification of lines in the Willamette Valley: reconstruc tion of the Sheridan-Willamina railroad at a cost of $2,501,880; Corvallis and Eastern R. R., $270,580; Pacific Railroad & Navi gation Co., $134,540; Salem. Falls City & Western, $68,680. LEXINGTON ITEMS. We see the shearing crew home again. Mrs. Galey Johnson is enter taining her younger brother from Missouri. The rain that has fallen the last couple of days has done the crops a great good and also helped to wash out the roads. Howard Lane is improving his residence by having cement walks put down. Marsh White says he will be the next one for cement walks. Only a few people as yet have taken advantage of the reduced rates and attended the carniva from here. Some went on the wrong sale dates and had to pay the regular fare. Mr. and Mrs. Van Winkle have the sympathy of the entire neigh borhood over the recent death of their infant son Wilbur who died at Heppner and was buried Wed nesday afternoon at Lexington. Miss Annie Campbell and Mr, Arthur Keene were married at the bride's home on Social Ridge at noon Thursday. Both young people are well known Lexing tonites and this city's people cer tainlv extend them the heartiest congratulations. There will certainly be enter tainment here on next Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday, the play, "All Is Not Gold That Glit ters," will be given by home tal ent for the benefit of the Ladies' Improvement Society at the Ar tisan hall. And Sunday there will be baseball in the afternoon followed by moving picture show in the evening. We need a lot of entertainment to amuse those who can't afford to attend the Rose Festival.

This is a small school, and is under the direction of Miss .Edna McNabb. The pupils seemed to be very dili gent and interested in their work. The outbuilding has been repair ed and put into good condition. A new cistern has been construc ted, and the water supply is bet tered thereby. In passing, 1 noticed that a stable had been built in the school yard in district No. 32, for the use of those who ride to school. I also observed that District No. 53 has a supply of wood on hand for the coming winter. District No. 38 has built a substantial fence around the school yard and a new barn has also been erected. In District No. 18, the outbuild ings have been repaired and a new fence built around the prem ises. Let us again urge the import ance of the annual meeting. Every voter should feel the re sponsibility resting upon him. At the meeting, the condition, of the schoolhouse and the sur roundings should be noted. Then plans should be laid to have everything in good shape for the opening of school next fall. Pupils or parents desiring pre mium lists of the children's con tests at the State Fair may secure them at my omce or oy writing. There is now an ample supply on hand. IONE. wue last with were week rela- of lone Portland smell of grow in J. A. Waters and Mr. Cronan were Hepprier visitors last Mon day, going up in J. H. Bryson's wagon.

Ray Blake was a passenger to Portland last Sunday morning. He took down a load of prime beef to help feed the rose show visitors. Quite a large number people went down to last week to get a good those dandy roses that that locality. Mannie Petteys has bought the dairy business from Wes McNabb. Mannie will try and supply all the good cream and milk his pa trons can dispose of. Mrs. Dalzell, who has been vis iting her sister, Mrs. Bert Mason, for some time, went down to Portland last week. She was ac companied by Mrs. Mason. Mat Halvorsen was a passenger to Portland last week, taking a carload of very nice beef with him. Mat did not want the Port land visitors to go hungry. Audrey and Velmaletta Wool ery, who have spent the past sev eral months in the Hawaiian Isl ands, returned to lone last week after having had a joyous time. The depot and all the rest of the outbuildings belonging to the O.-W. R. & N. Co., are takingon a new color. Quite a number of painters are busy just making things shine. Harold Dobyns was a passen ger for Eugene last Sunday morning. Harold says he is go ing out to the pioneers picnic and start about three shoe shine stands.

A nice quiet wedding took place at the home of Mrs. Brown in lone on June 10, when Grace Brown and Robert Burroughs were married. Mr. .burroughs is is a Washington iarmer. Kev. Van Winkle performed the cere mony, uur Dest wishes go with them. The several committees are very busy these days preparing things for a jolly good fourth of j July. There is a bunch of fellows hauling dirt into the street and making Main street look a little more like some one was living, In a few more days we will have Main street fn dandy good shape for the races. Mr. Strange, who has been working for Mat Halvorsen for some time, broke his arm . last week. It seems he was round ing up a bunch of cattle when his horse slipped off a bank and took the rider with him. Dr. Chick fixed up the fracture and he is getting along nicely. Heppner and lone played an other tug-of-war at the baseball game held at Heppner last Sun day. Both teams played good ball, but the lone wallopers came out on top by one or two runs. There will be another game be tween the same two teams next Sunday at Lexington, the win ning team to play the Lexington boys. Look out for a good game all ye ball lovers. The Eightmile country was visited by a bad water spout last Saturday afternoon. About a foot of hail fell in some places. Chas. Anderson says he never saw as much water about his place before as there wa3 after the rain. It washed the roads completely out. He says the wa ter was four feet deep on his windmill tower and his well is fuller than it ever was. We have heard that several of the farmers out in that country lost very hea vy on account of the hail, it ruin ing nearly all of their much need- ed crops. We hope this account is not true as it is too bad to have the crops cut down with hail when it takes so much hard labor to raise them. V COURT HOUSE NEWS. The Grim Reaper.
