MORROW COUNTY
HAS NEW TOWN
Boardman is the Name of the New
Town Bite at the Junction of the
Coyote Cut-off on Colum
bia River.
Boardman is the name of a new
Morrow county town which is now
being platted thirty miles below Her
mlston, on the Columbia river at the
junction of the Coyote cut-off. Fol
lowing is the report sent In to Pen
dleton from Hermiston and printed
by the East Oregonlan of that city:
Iloardman is the name of the new
town site at the junction of the Coy
ote cutoff, 3't miles below this city.
The county purveyor was staking the
site today and will be platted by 8
H. Boardman, E. P. Dodd and Wm
Kennedy.
The site consists of 55 acres of
the Boardman homestead on the Co
lumbia river. A four thousand dol
lar depot is now contemplated and
will be used in transferring freight
by the O-W. R. & N. and the Spo
kane branch.
A hotel with a livery in connection
is now under consideration, work tc
begin on the new structure as soon
as details can be arranged by Mr
Boardman with the contractors for
the hotel.
Immediately surrounding the town
site is 1000 acres of government
land while an additional 8000 is un
der the newly built canal of the west
extension of the Umatilla project.
The lands that are to be irrigated
will be the best adapted to irrigation
farming. All the land of a too roll
ing character having been eliminat
ed, or is being elimlanted as the
various experts examine it. The Co
lumbia river is a decided factor in
warding off late frosts, the earllnesf
of seasons the unexcelled shipping
facilities and the reasonable price
placed on the land, the land that will
be offered for sale are great advan
tages to the homeseekers who will
settle in this undeveloped section
The main canal recently completed
Is lined with three Inches of concrete.
Is 27 7-10 miles long and will even
tually supply water to 36,000 acre?
of land. The laterals to be built next
spring will be of concrete also, it is
understood. It Is anticipated that
part of these lands under the new
canal will be thrown open to entry
early this spring, at which time the
town of Boardman will begin to
thrive. Mr. and Mrs. Boardman filed
on tbis desert land 1 2 years ago, and
in that time have lived the lives of
pioneers, hoping and trusting for the
openng of the surrounding country.
Governor Pardons Man
Now Believed Innocent
Last week Governor Withycombe
pardoned Frank Thomas, who was
convicted in the circuit court at
Heppner last May on a check forginp
charge. It was through the efforts
Judge Gilbert W. Phelps and prose
cuting attorney Glenn Y. Wells that
Thomas, secured his freedom. Simi
lar checks to those of which Thomap
has been accused of passing came to
light some time after he had been
sent over. At the time of the trial.
Attorney Wells made the statement
that it was either one of two things
with Thomas, that he was the
smoohest crook ever brought before
the bar of Justice or was a very in
nocent man charged with a grave
crime. There had always been con
siderable doubt in the minds of many
as to the guilt of Thomas, and this
- doubt became stronger after more of
these checks appeared after Thomas
was in the penitentiary.
All Eyes on Beckett.
All eyes of the Northwest football
fans will be focused on Johnny Bee
ket, the giant Oregon tackle, In the
big game at Eugene Saturday, wher
the University and O. A. C. will bat
tie for the state championship. Af
ter a recent game in Lob Angeles
when Oregon defeated the University
of Southern California by a 34 to (
score, California critics were unanl
mous in their opinion that Becket 1;
the greatest American football play
er that was ever seen in action In
Los Angeles.
John Becket is a native Morrow
county boy, attended Washngton
.high school in Portland, where hf
was on the team that met Oak Part
high school a few years back, when
they made that memorable trip west
and has been playing on the Oregor
team the past three years. Durinr
the summer months he keeps In good
trim by working in the wheat field?
on his father's Eight Mile ranch.

HEPPNER WOOL AT THE
PORTLAND LAND SHOW
Evening Telegram.
W. W. Smead, of Heppnor, thinks
Morrow county sheepmen might take
a lesson from the Australian and
New Zealand sheep ranches and
grade their wool so they would get
the same price in the Boston market
that the clip from the Antipodes com
mands. Mr. Smead is in charge of
Morrow county's exhibit at the land
show. His booth Is the only one
showing anything in a definite way of
Oregon's sheep industry. Lincoln, a
coast county, exhibits some fine An
gora fleeces, but Mr. Smead has a
representative exhibit of wool.
"Here is a fleece weighing 21
pounds which came from a 2-year-old
ewe," said Mr. Smead, picking up
the wooly bunch from the floor. "It
is an unusually heavy fleece. That
is worth about 30 cents per pound as
we clip and sell It. But if that fleece
were Australian wool it would be
graded and would bring 35 cents.
On this fleece that would make a dif
ference of at least 85 cents, allowing
for the dirt graded out and not sold.
Perhaps 85 cents doesn't amount to
much on a single fleece, but multiply
that sum by the number of sheep in a
big flock and see the difference. I
buy wool for a Boston firm and I have
been trying for years to get our wool
graded so that it will command the
3ame price as New Zealand wool."
The Morrow county men do not
differ from those in other sections of
the state, and Oregon sheepmen as a
whole are in the same position as
those of the great sheep state of
Wyoming, for example. The neces
sity of careful grading has never ap
pealed to the American sheepman
apparently.
Morrow county has one of the most
comprehensive exhibits in the entire
land show. Besides the wool exhibit,
14 varieties of grains and grasses are
on display. Club, fortyfold and blue
stem wheat are the varieties which
Morrow county puts forward. Wheat
means something up Morrow county
way, for -as high as 1,500,000 bushels
have been grown and sold in that
county in a year.
Henry Colin went to Portland this
morning. He will join the excur
sion which leaves that city Saturday
for Eugene and will witness the big
contest for state supremacy between
the Oregon and O. A. C. foot ball
teams.
161 WILL BE NEXT
The possibilities which are open
to the man of ability who will con
centrate all his faculties to the
achievement of a foremost position
In the line of endeavor in which he
s Interested, are Illustrated In the
rise of Albert Edward Wlggam to the
position of first Importance in the
ranks of those who are actively pro
moting the propaganda of the eugen

Gifted with a natural platform
ability, a fund of humor, and an
ability to construct a logical argu
ment amounting to genius, Mr. Wig
wam years ago devoted himself to the
mastery of one subject, conceiving
that subject, the influence of heredity
ind environment upon civilization, to
be of overmastering importance to
the development of the race. From
the vast fund of information which
he has absorbed he has bullded a lec
ture, condensing and crystallzlng the
facts, and presenting in startling and
yet most interesting and entertaining
fashion, the vital truths of science.
He has stirred public thought, and
?lven new impetus to individual vir
tue. The wise men of his generation
have sat at his feet in admiration
while he paints the subtle tacts of
science in simple language and vis
ualizes intricate reasonings so that
he who runs may read; And the man
if the street has faced the morrow
with a new understanding of the
holiness of his calling, and a new de
dre to keep himself clean. He has
mde the subtle and hidden truths
building forces for the upbuilding of
humanty, and in the doing of it has
lemonstrated anew the freshness of
he truths laid down in Dr. Conwell's
Immortal lecture on "AcreB of Dla

has been trampled under foot by gen
erations, stepping stones to greatness.
Gilliam County Will Vote on Bond
Issue.
That Gilliam county, in the near
future, will vote on the question of
bonding for better roads, is the sub
itance of a statement made by Editor
H. W. Lang of the Arlington Inde
pendent, when In Heppner recently.
According to Mr. Lang, the Idea 1b to
build a main trunk road through the
county. Personally, he favors the
bonding method for raising money
with which to build good roads. As
be puts it, "let the future generations
help us pay for some of these per
manent benefits."

Falls Into Hole.
Wm. Hall, better known hereabout
as "Riley," fell Into the basement en
trance at the rear of the First Na
tional Bank sometime last Saturday
evening, and as a result received ser
ious bruises. He fell a distance of
ten feet and that he did not receive
further Injuries is remarkable. "Ri
ley" is an old man, and somewhat ad
dicted to the habit of partaking in
that cup that cheers. It is probably
due to this that he fell In bad. The
bank has been putting in a basement
and furnace under the building and
the hole in the walk had not yet
been re-covered. A red light from a
lantern gave warning to after-dusk
pedestrians, but evidently "Riley"
did not even see the light, to say
nothing of the opening which re
ceived him. H remained in the base
ment probably two hours before his
voiciferatlons attracted the attention
of passers-by who helped him out of
his predicament.
J J. L. Yeager Has Freak Tree.
-' A tree producing two crops of
fruit in one year is some class, and
entirely worth while to the producer,
although this is something unusual
In the realm of horticulture. How
ever, J. L. Yeager of this city has a
tgee, ,-an apple tree, which is doing
that very thing, and Mr. Yeager Is
now busy garnering his second crop
of apples. Although It Is not an un
usual thing for a tree to blossom a
second time, this tree not only be
decked itself in blossoms all through
the summer, but finally produced a
second crop of apples as well.
Mr. Yeager states that when he
purchased this tree, he thought he
was getting a yellow permain, but it
has been producing a differnet va
riety of fruit, and he is at loss to
know Just what the variety is.
The .second crop Is not quite as
good as the first in size and quality,
but nevertheless is very plump and
good eating according to Mr. Yeager.

ELKS WOULD HAVE
THEIR 01 HOI
Heppner Lodge, No. 358, Holds Rous
ing Meeting and Adopt Plans to
Either Purchase or Build
New Home.
Heppner Lodge, No. 358, Benevo
lent and Protective Order of Elks,
Iield a rousing meeting last Thursday
3vening to discuss the proposition of
mying their own nome. A large
lumber of the membership was pres
ent. As a result of the meeting, the
lodge now has under consideration
hree propositions. The first two have
o do with the purchasing of build
ings and the third with the erecting
it a new building on the property
low owned by the lodge. -
The Roberts building haa been of
fered at a fair price as has the Fair
building. It appears that the majority
sentiment is in favor of erecting a
sew building, a two story structure
f brick or concrete material, having
.he upper story of (he building es
pecially designed for lodge room pur
poses, while the ground floor would
be given over entirely to commercial
uses. The Elks' property is situated
on Main street and adjoins the Pal
ace hotel.
Those who oppose buying the first
lamed properties are of the opinion
hat neither building is exactly what
.he lodge wants, and the cost ot
transforming them Into suitable
luarters would be too great, al
though both are situated on what are
considered two of the best corners in
'.own. A committee is now busy
working on the matter, and they wtll
make their report at a later date. The
proposed new building would cost in
-he neighborhood of $20,000. i
Bradford & Son Move.
M. J. Bradford and Son, painters
and paper hangers, this week moved
from the Ashbaugh building on Main
;treet to the PUess building, one door
last of the Palace hotel. They will
nake a specialty of automobile palnt
ng this winter, , and their former
luarters were considered too small
'.or this line of work.

if the week for El Paso, Texas, with
string of the Davidson horses which

Patterson has been located In Texas

)heepmen Will Couvene
In Pendleton Week Early
In order to avoid conflict with the
'nternational Livestock Show In
Portland next month, the annual con
vention of the Oregon Woolgrowers
Vssociation, scheduled for Pendleton
in December 9 and 10, has been ad
vanced a week on the calendar and
will be held on December 3 and 4
This is the announcement that has
been received by sheepmen In this
ity.
The dates for the 1915 convention
were set several months ago before
the dates of the Livestock bIiow were
known. Fred W. Falconer of Enter
prise and John G. Hoke of Medical
Springs, president and secretary re
spectively of the woolgrowers' organ
ization, held a conference in Baker
Saturday and determined on making
he change.
Murray-Crawl Nuptials.
The home of Mr. and Mrs. Robert
Murray in south Heppner, was the
scene of a quiet wedding Wednesday
evening, when their only daughter,
Bluebell, became the bride of Calvin
W. Crawl of Olex. Rev. W. B. Smith
officiated. Only relatives and a few
friends were present. The happy
;ouple will spend their honeymoon
!n Portland and other Willamette
Valley points. On their return they
will make their home on the Kl
bourne ranch near Olex, where the
groom holds a position.
Pendleton Ex-Chief Suicide.
John Kearney, until recently chief
of police of Pendleton, committed
suicide in a hotel in that city Tues
day by shooting himself through the
head. Despondence over the loss of
his position and his inability to leave
liquor alone, Is the reason advanced
by his friends for his rash act. He
had lived In Pendleton ever since he
was a small boy. KonTey was con
sidered as a very efficient worker
along criminal lines.
The Oxford Company of Chicago
oresented the first number of the Ly
seum course at the High School au
ditorium Tuesday evening In a pleas
ing manner.
The program consisted of two
parts, the first being composed ot
songs, the first number being from
the opera "Carmen." Several Eng
lish nursery songs were presented in
pleasing style. The musical comedy,
"The Mikado" was a screem, al
though presented by these four peo
ple, while it is usually presented by
a cast of nine. It 1b the general opin
ion that the Oxfords are the best that
has yet come to Heppner and well
worth the cost of the entire season
ticket.
