SCIiSCIill'TIOX, 1..'0 PER YEA It HE ROAD MEET- SUCCESS Proposal for Special Election to Vote 5-Mill Tax Carries by Vole of 33 to 21. On Friday afternoon last an en tliusiastic meeting was held In the hull at lone, over which Joseph T, Knappenherg presided, and which was addressed by numerous citizens The meeting had been called in the interest of the proposed improve nients to the road leading down Wil low creek from Heppner, through Lexington and lone and on to the Gilliam county line. It is proposed that, In order to carry on the work funds be provided by the tliree road districts affected through the levying of a five-mill tax. It was stated by the presiding officer that all the mon ey thus raised would be applied to this particular road, and in the dis cussion that followed it was shown that the mills of county road tax could all be applied to the roads in the districts leading down to the creek road. The principal speaker cf the oc casion was Phillip S. Bates, of Port land, sent as the special representa tive of the Portland Chamber of Com merce, who addressed the meeting In a general way on the benefits of good highways. His address was logical and well received, being full of facts well stated. Following the address of Mr. Hates, the meeting was declared open fur general discussion, and different parties took advantage of the oppor tunity to air their ideas of what should be done. It is estimated that the work of Im provement will cost $20,000. The five-mill tax on the districts will pay this and should put the road in good permanent shape. The understanding we gathered from the statements made at this meeting is that the foad is to be graded but no attempt made to put on hard surfacing, rather de pending on strawing and working in of weeds in the roail bed most of the way to make It substantial. It developed at this hearing that there will be some opposition offered to voting the extra millage at this time because of the tight financial condition of many of the farmers. However, upon a vote being taken, the sentiment predominated in favor of calling the election and letting the people have their say at that time as to whether they will assume this ad ditional burden of vaxation during the coming yuer. Following Mr. Hates, S. E. Notson made a short address in support of the proposition, lie was followed by V. E. Leach and A. Keaney of Lex ington, both of whom expressed themselves as in favor of the pro posed improvements and anxious to have the work proceed at once. Ir. O'Sullivan, of Morgan, was not op posed to the road Improvement, but does not favor the route selected on the west end of the road, as it leaves himself and his neighbors too far from the improved highway, and they are interested In getting their crops to the station. J. T. Knappenherg, Vawter Crawford and A. 10. Johnson also spoke favoring the improvement, and each of these gentlemen would be glad to see the work proceed at once. This was also the sentiment of J. L. Wilklns, who was prepared with a good bunch of figures to back up his argument, Glenn Burroughs, of Rhea creek, spoke at some length In answer to the speakers that had favored the work. He took a stand against the proposed improvements at this time, and did not favor spending this amount of money on the proposed road, as the farmers stood In need of much work on the roads leading to the railroad, and many of them did not have to haul up and down Willow creek at all. Mr. Burroughs seemed to ex press the sentiment of quite a num ber present, and did not feel that many of the farmers were in position to assume this burden at this time. While Mr. Burroughs presented some good argument along this lino, he was frank to admit that the roads of the county were bad, and he was lacking in this, that he offered no better solution for the difficulty than the one proposed. Mr. Wilcox, of Lexington, fol lowed Mr. Burroughs in support of tlie movement, stating that he was not particular where the work of good roads began, so It was started. Naturally he favored the improve ment on the creek road as he lived on that road, but the idea with him is to get started on this permanent road work some place and some time, and he felt that now was the proper time and he would support the prop osition. E. L. Padberg, as county commis sioner, was anxious to have the peo ple express themselves on this road problem, and stood ready to carry out their wishes. Individually, he fa vored taking up the work at once on the Willow creek road and making this a good piece of highway, feeling that it would be a stimulous to bet ter work all over the county. M. R. Morgan, of lone, did not fa vor the tax at this time. He has no objections to good roads as a princi ple, but feels that much money has been spent and wasted on roads, and yet no improvement. He would not feel so bad about the matter if he was assured that there was really to be some good accomplished on the Willow creek road, and the highway between lone and Heppner put in good shape. Upon the question being put to a vote, the sentiment prevailed in favor of holding the elections in the various districts to decide the question of the tax. As stated in the beginning, the meeting was enthusiastic, and result ed in bringing out a fine gathering of the citizens of lone and vicinity. Revival at the Christian Church.

We wish to thank the football boys for the splendid game played last Saturday, lone received some sur prise when the touchdown was made in three minutes. Your line held like a stone wall when it became neces sary to hold the little boys down at the Egg City. Taking everything in to consideration the score of 6 to 6 looks good. Prof. Motley states that since last Saturday's game, footbifll seems to be on the bum. Nickolson, the center, has left town; Copenhav er, the other available center, meets with parental objection; Wright states that he will be unable to play any more and Micheau is going away, so the team is losing several good players. The girls are taking lots of inter est in basket ball. They have two good teams. The walls of the auditorium have been looking rather bare with only three pennants representing the school.

GONGRESSMAH SIOTT VISITS HEPPNER Congressman N. J. Sinnott, of the second Oregon district, arrived in Heppner yesterday afternoon from Stanfield. and was kept busy the bal ance of the day meeting his many friends. In the evening Mr. Sinnott met with several of the business men and talked over the Monument mail route situation. Mr. Sinnot has prom ised to do all in his power to see that this route is restored to Heppner. The district which Mr. Sinnott represents In the halls of Congress is larger than thf; State of Pennsylvania, but he has been traveling over a large part of it during the past few weeks. His trip to date has taken him over 2500 miles, the most part of it being the roughest section of the state. Mr. Sinnott travels by auto most of the time. Before returning to Washington he will spend some time in Wasco and Crook counties. "I am striving to get better acquaint ed with my constituency," said Mr. Sinnott, "and I am finding that I have a mighty large field to get over. OF IDE SEASON lone and Heppner School Teams Bat- tie to a (t to CI Score on tljf Egg City Gridiron Last Sat urday. The second tie score of the Mor row County Interscholastic League lootball season tame about last Sat urday at lone after the Egg City boys had battled through four long quar ters unable to take the lead. After tlie 3 to 3 score at Heppner last Saturday a week ago, when the Lexington high school team came so near to defeating the local team, lone was doped to win by a large margin when they clashed with Heppner, inasmuch as they had taken the Lexington huskies into camp in the first game by tlie big score of 39 to 12. Consequently tlie large crowd at lone was taken completely off their feet Saturday when Coach Motley's green team received the hall on the first kickoff and marched down the held for a touchdown a very few min utes after the game started. Hughes of Heppner was easily the star of the game. His getting away for large gains through a broken field caused more than one sensation. Tlie two teams were very evenly matched and both displayed weakness in defensive playing. Both sides worked the forward pass several times successfully and on two occa sions Heppner got away for large gains on this style of play. Heppner showed great resistance powers in the last half of the game when the lone boys had crowded them back to within four yards of their own goal line. The Heppner line held like a stoju wall and their opponents finally lost the ball on downs. It was here that halfback Hayes, of Heppner, received a severe injury to his nose while tackling "Fat" Blake, the heavy charger of the lone team. Other men who did stellar work for lone were "Rusty" Cochran, Earl and Roy Blake. Smith, Wnttetilmrger, Hughes, Wright and Nickolson showed up best for Hepp ner, although McCraw, Judd, Parker, Sloeum and Iugruni did yeoman work on the line. Heppner and lone will clash again at Heppner on the 13th of November. Robert Sperry as referee and Ar thur Crawford as umpire served as officials for the game. The Federated Church.

OREGON LIFE MAKES Last Monday a check for $3000 was delivered to Miss Luella Stamp of this city by Robert H. Young, agent for the Oregon Life Insurance Company. The check was payment in full amount for the policy which Andrew A. Stamp took out with that company only a few months before his death. Miss Stamp was made beneticiary in the policy. One feature of the paid policy is that Mr. Stamp took out the insur ance only after much persuasion, the company taking his note for the first premium. Mr. Stamp had stated many times that his one great ambi tion was to send li i s sister to college to prepare herself for teaching. The $3000 which she receives on his life insurance policy will now enable her to carry out his ambition. ESTRAY.
