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.

SCHOOL NOTES.
By S. E". Notson, Supt.
On the 3rd inst. I visited the
school in district No. 30. 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.

The Eightmile country was
visited by a bad water spout last

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

Is your school house properly

For schools of more than one
