Everything neat and clean Best of everything the market affords, including fresh oysters and shell fish. MEALS 25c and up Work was commenced last Monday on the Board man townsite when a crew of men and teams began grad ing the streets. Owing to the severe winter the townsite company has been delayed In its operations but work will now be continued as rapid ly as possible. When the streets are graded sidewalks and tree lines ami grades will be established and trees planted along every street and around the entire town. The ' railroad company has con structed a sidetrack and lumber will be unloaded in a few days on the lots of the lumber company adjoining the railroad right of way. The building of six business houses wll then be commenced and others will be con structed later in March and April. Dodd & Kennedy of Hermiston, who own the townsite, will erect au office building and open an office at Boardman and will handle the town site and lands adjoining. They will sell the Northern Pacific lands and other private holdings and will have maps showing the homestead lands in that locality. All of these lands will be under the government canal and none will be offered except those that are to be irrigated this year. An nouncement of the opening of these lands will be made in a few days. A school building will be provided for the ojuning of the fall term this year. The townsite company will do nate sites for church buildings. Boardman is on the Columbia river and the main line of the O.-W. R & N., Just west of the junction of the new Coyote cut-off and the Spokane line. The lands adjoining are of the best grade of alfalfa soil arid easy to reclaim. The water is ready for the land and the government is behind the proposition. Twenty years Is giv en, without interest, on .the water right and the private lands must be sold at lowest prices. The homestead lands are free and can be filed on in about 40-acre units to each entry- man. The land slopes gently from the government canal toward the Colum bia and there are many sightly and desirable tracts. Boardman will be the trading point for all land within six miles of the town, covering 20, 000 acres of irrigated land. The main body of the lands of the great John Day project, on which the new governments have just been made, lie from three to fifteen miles from Boardman. Pendleton E. O. FOR COVXTV TREASURER.

The Whirlwind Kidney and Rheumatic Remedy HENRY HOWARD Local Agent AT THE HORN PASTIME GOOD ROADS MEAN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT; NEEDED HERE It has been said that "the high waymen are the real builders of com munities." The man who said this did not mean those men who rob pec pie on the highway, but he did mean those who have anything to do with the building of good roads, from the man who prepares the plans and specifications to the man who handles the pick and shovel as well as the cit izens who boost for good roads. By good roads we mean the public high ways to and from market and not the scenic boulevards. The taxpayers rea'Io that It is right and imperative that they be taxed for the construc tion of roads but they demand that the money be spent as Judiciously as possible and this is right. It is es sential in this county that good roads be built so as to render the market easily accessible at all time of the year. But this does not mean that this county should have hard sur faced roads. On the contrary they are not wanted here and in fact are not needed. What is wanted and needed here Is that the roads be es tablished on the proper grades and the drainage properly arranged. Then macadam should be used where nec essary and the road should be grad ed and rolled, perhaps oiled, else where. Aside from the market value the good road has a social value also. The isolation of farm life, and this is worthy of especial mention here, will be largely overcome by the construc tion of better roads. There will be developed a real community spirit, which will radiate from the commun ity center. Rural social life will be uplifted and the neighborhood spirit strengthened, adding to the efficiency of the schools and churches. The taxpayer has many reasons for want ing good roads and he has the right to demand a prudent expenditure of his money. Condon Globe. Millions Lost. It is estimated that 50 to 500 mil lion dollars are lost by farmers of this country every year thru ravages of rodent pests squirrels, gophers, orairie dogs, sage rats and the like. Years of effort has clearly proven the uselessness of guns, traps or serums. The only safe and certain wholesale method rests in the effective use of properly prepared poison at the right moment. Experience has proven that farm era can seldom prepare these poisons in an economical or efficient manner. The columns of thU paper carry the ads of reliable preparations of this nature. Strychnine-coated grain, troperly treated and marketed by r iable Eras, constitutes a much more n,fe and certain method of ridding he farm of these pests than any cx 'erimental treatment thru printed formula. Grain and alfalfa growers, or chardists, should bear in mind that the psychological moment to exter minate the pests is when they first awaken from their winter's sleep, ravenous for food. At this time they will eat dry grain without hesitation, and if properly placed, every one can be exterminated, including the fe male with unborn generations of -aln eaters. As soon as the grass ogins to throw out its roots and 'ndrils, the rodents turn directly them from the dry grain. Delay t this time means failure, no mat er how efficent the poison may be. No farmer can afford all the ex Dense of plowing, seeding, paying taxes on the land and harvesting half or a fraction of a crop because of neglect to kill these pests at the right moment. One pound of a stan dard squirrel and gopher poison has been known to kill hundreds of squirrels. Could there be any better investment than this for the farmer? Young People Iteturn.

A tenderfoot in Canyon City grew Intensely interested in the subject of ticks. He was impressed with the danger that comes from the bite of a tick, but he had no idea of what a tick was. Returning from a short walk up Canyon creek he said that he saw several ticks crossing tho road and was afraid to get near them. What he saw was a groundhog, but as ignorance 4s bliss, it would have been cruel to inform him of the truth and so today he Is telling his eastern friends how big the tick grows out in Oregon.
