The main topic taken up for dis cussion at the regular meeting of the Heppner Commercial Club last Mon day evening was that of strewing the roails of the county and putting them iu condition for wheat hauling. President Phelps instructed the Roads Committee, consisting of Dr. N. E". Winnard, Win Haylor and Al bert Bowker, V meet with the mem bers of the county court and the far mers In various sections of the coun ty. The club favors a special road strewing day, when a special concen trated effort should be put forth to straw all the main highways.

"Sights and Scenes along the Union Pacific System" is issued "for the purpose of aiding travelers in selecting the most satis factory route getween the East and West, and to provide a handbook for use enroute by passengers over the lines of the Union Pacific System." This booklet takes up each route from the East to the West and tells of its scenic advantages. These two publi cations will probably do much toward directing tourist travel toward the Northwest. Notice to Farmers. Creek farmers are asked to fix their dams during low. water. Equip them with fish ladders In the best possible manner In order that fish will encounter no difficulty ln gett ing over the dams. ROBERT H. YOUNG ' Deputy State Game Warden. Strawberries Grow all Summer in Morrow Co. What is the matter with Mor row County? Nothing at all bro ther. Look at those large lus cious Ever-Bearing strawberries on display in the Haylor jewelory store window. Tlie berries grew in the gardim of W. O. Minor on Court street. Mr. Minor says there has not been a day this.snm mer that he has not had straw berries. He is going to fix up a nice strawberry exhibit at the Mor row County Fair. At the present time the Minor Tamily is enjoying fresh raspberries Rainier variety. A number of Mowrow County people are devot ing space in their gardens to the strawberry of the Ever-Bearing variety. Harvie Young, Eight Mile farmer, set out a number of these plants last spring and he reports they are doing well. OPENING OF SCHOOL The Heppner schools will open Sep. "'-.tember 18.

"A CALL TO ARMS." To the Citizens of Eastern Oregon: Our government has made the "Call to Arms" of 100,000 men. Oregon's proportion of this call ls approxi mately 2000. Shall this State be found wanting? Is it possible there are not 2000 young men ln this State with enough patriotism, and love of country to immediately fill this quo ta? Do the Stars and Stripes not mean as much to the young men of this State as they do to the young men of other States? Our sister State on the north has furnished her entire quota under "The Call." State pride alone should be an Incentive to fill our ranks, not only this, but local pride should be considered. How many men has your city and community furnished? I regret to say that Eastern Oregon is far short of all other sections In this state ln responding to this "Call." Many men say, "If there was really need of me, I would gladly go as soon as there ls something doing down on the "border" I will eulist." It is not for us to say when we will enlist. Our country has called, and It ls up to the citizens of this State to respond, for, when there is "some thing doing" will be too late. In the name of our great United States, the Stars and Stripes which we all love In the name of the State of Oregon, of which we are all proud, and lastly In the name of your local city and community, you are called upon to enlist In your country's ser vice. For Information apply to Major Hiram U. Welch, Recruiting Officer, The Dalles, Oregon. VViLLBRING RESULTS lone Correspondent Can See Growing Sentiment Favoring Improvement, of lone Heppner Road. E. E. Brodie, president, and Phil S. Bates, secretary, of the Oregon Ed itorial Association, were visitors In lone for a short time on Friday last on their return trip from visiting the different towns of Eastern Oregon in the Interests of the Associaion. These gentlemen, traveling by auto, were not loud in their praise of much of the roads they had to pass over, and they were especially sore at being di rected over the "Blue Trail" from Heppner to Pendleton via Pilot Rock, stating that the road, where they could find any, was fierce and ab solute death to tires. They returned from Pendleton by way of Echo, and while they found some of the road cut up pretty badly, there was no rock and they were getting through with much less wear and tear to ma chinery and in far better frame of mind than when they reached Pen. dleton. Many other travelers have made the same statement concerning the upper route. This being the case, tourists have been directed over the I Echo route from lone as a matter of ! course, the people here feeliDg that it was only fair to give the tourist the benefit of the least of two evils, any of the roads being bad enough at this time of the year. It should be un derstood that there is no bad feeling on the part of the people here against the travel going through Heppner, and we are quite sure that the has iness men of Heppner, generally, nn- erstand it this way. . Getting from lone to Heppner these days Is not a pleasure trip by any means, vet we long for the day when enough money will be spent on this piece of road that five reaching of the county seat will be a joy over roads that are good the year around, and when this hap- pens there will be no difficulty what- come out of the present controversy. But in the meantime Heppner should not tell tourists that there is a good road from that town to Pendleton via Pilot Rock. The publishing of such statement ls bound to react injurious ly upon the tourist trade unless something is done mighty soon to bring the roads np to the standard ad- .

Mrs. Beek is an aunt of Mr. Heliker, and .... t, a , .v t uie oeeKH are luunug lue wesi in quest of health and pleasure and may decide on locating at some point on the coast. Mr. Beek follows railroading in his home state and is somewhat interested in the outcome of the pending strike. L. J. Padberg and wife, Mrs. E. L. Padberg and A. T. Wood made np an auto party that left lone yesterday over the Columbia Highway for Port land. They will spend a short time visiting Willamette Valley points and may go on to the coast for an outing. Kenneth Davidson returned to his home at Portland Monday after a visit of several days at the home of L. P. -Davidson in lone. The young man is clever with the pencil and some day should make a cartoonist of note. He has fine talent along this line. E. L. Padberg, J. A. Kefhn and Dr. C. C. Chick are possessers of new autos which they purchased this week. Klehn and Chick have Sax ons and Padberg treated himself to a "little Six" Buick. More announce ments later. Born To Mr. and Mrs. Wm.

Miss Carrie Whitmore, who visited at the Mason home on Rhea creek the past week, returned to her home In Portland on Monday. Rev. C. P. Bailey was up from The Dalles and filled bis appointments at the Baptist church here on Sunday. He returned home on Monday. Mrs. Addle Wood, of Arlington, is visiting at the home of her sister, Mrs. Mary Hale, In lone. She ar rived on Saturday last. Columbia Highway Sub ject to Mach Travel W. G. Scott of Lexington is some statistican. Mr. Scott came up over the Columbia Highway re cently on his return home after several weeks spent at Crater Lake. Just out of curiosity more than anything else, Mr. Scott counted all tho .nitnmnhiioo ro,i, ed on the left side of the highway. xneen me nuing station in Port land and Hood River he counted 1126 ears. He estimates that this was about half of the total number of cars on the mad hat two points that day. One noticeable feature of the many cars one sees on this great highway is the large number of Oregon and Washington cars. This tends to prove that more of the natives are seeing their own states. Mr. Scott says the Columbia Highway is a revelation in the science of road building. "It's wonderful, wonderful," is the way in which he expressed his appre ciation of America's ETPfttpst iiron. iic highway. IN STRIKE SITUATION Governor Withycombe sent the fol lowing telegram to President Wilson ou the railroad strike situation, in which he takes an entirely new posi tion that the service of the railroads belongs to the people. "While the railroads are the pro perty of the stockholders, transpora tatlon servige is the property of the public. Land grants and franchises were given with that understanding. The American people are committed to and believe in the principle arbi tration and the public welfare de mands that this principle be preser ved. Where differences between the railroad employes -an4 Ahe managers involve so serious an issue as trans portation service to the public, and cannot be mutually adjusted, the public will, and does insist on both sides submitting to arbitration." This Is a phase of the question not generally considered. The pub lic, in the event of a strike, would be the sufferer. The sawmills and the mines, the farm products and the fruit industry, the milk trains and dairy supplies for the millions in the would be cut off, and millions would suffer and children would die by the thousands if the strike should be pro longed. If the public could have any in fluence, more than what the weight of its opinion will be upon those involv ed, the strike question would be set tled by arbitration and In a mannei that would be at least millions of dol lars cheaper to the masses. Have You Made Any Plans For Dec orating. The Fourth Annual Morrow Coun ty Fair is drawing near at hand. A few weelis ago something was said about dressing up the old town in real style for this event. It is urged that every business house make use of this privilege and decorate. Ev rything points to the biggest crowd in the history of the fair and we want to make a good impression. Unique and attractive window displays In conjunction with the decorative scheme will add much to the appear ance of our business streets. Orange and black are the official colors for Fair Week.

Minor, Pioneer Stockman, Will lie;; in Building of Swimming Pool In Xear Future Has Gone To Portland To Complete Arrangements. A natatorium costing approximate ly $1500 will be built by W. O. Minor. Mr. Minor went to Portland Tuesday afternoon to complete the detail ar rangements and to get the necessary material for the building. The nata torium will be situated on Mr. Minor's Chase street lot. The swimming pool will be 24 by 60 fet in size. This is larger than the pools found at the average health re sorts. Mr. Minor has spent consi derable time the past few years at different resorts and has made a study of swimming pools. The new pool will be larger than the one at Shippard Springs. The main structure will be of con crete, four feet below the ground sur face and four feet above. The depth of water at the low end will be three feet, gradually sloping off to eight feet at the deep end. Water for the pool will be supplied from the mill ditch of the Heppner Milling Com pany and the entire equipment will be the most modern and approved style. A steam boiler will be in stalled for heating the water and overhead tanks for the shower baths will be provided. One of the Iron clad rules of the new natatorium will equire every bather to take a show er bath before entering the main pool. A number of showers will be put in. According to the plans of Mr. Min or, there will be twelve dressing rooms on each side of the pool. A balcony will be built over the dress ing rooms for the convenience of spe ctators. Mr. Minor expects to begin work at once on the natatorium unless something untorseenarises! . e. IN SEPT, 4TH Spokane, Wash., Aug. 30 On Sep tember 4 the Federal Farm Loan board will hold hearings in Spokane, to determine upon the creation of a farm loan district to serve the north west and to decide at which point one of the 12 farm loan banks shall be located to serve this territory. The board will hold Its meetings in the Federal building beginning at 10 o' clock in the morning. As this is the only hearing the board will hold ln the Inland Impire or in the states of Washington and Idaho it will be of exceptional im portance to the farmers of the north west. The board will undoubtedly be more interested In hearing from the farmers than from anyone else as the rural credit law creating these banks are passed for the benefit of the farmers and the banks are really the farmers' banks. Farmers from all points In Washington, Idaho and Montana and Oregon will gather in Spokane on September 4 to present their case personally to the board. One of the most vital points to be considered by the board is the for mation of the district. Undoubtedly strong pressure will be brought to bear to attach the northwest with California and locate a bank In Cali fornia or to attach the northwest to the Dakotas and Minnesota and lo cate a bank in one of these states. Whether a homogeneous district comprising the northwest is formed and whether the bank is located at some central point that will adequate ly serve the farmers of the five north western states will depend very large ly upon the interest taken by the farmers in presenting their own case to the board. The members of the farm loan board comprise men who are the leaders in finance and especially In farm finance. They are: William G. McAdoo, secretary of the treasury; George W. Norris, farm loan com missioner; Herbert Quick, Capt. W. S. A. Smith and Charles E. Lobdell. H happens that September 4, the date the Farm Loan board will hold its Spokane hearing, Is also the open ing day for the Spokane Interstate fair. There will be a full program of racing and other big events, so that the farmers attending the hearings of the board will be able also to attend the fair while in the city. Secretary McAdoo and his entire board will at tend the fair in a body. FOR SALE Several head of work horses, both broke and unbroken. Can see them at my Tub Springs, ranch. JAS. CARTY. .Ji t
