A genuine spirit of improvement
has struck the city of Lexington and
surrounding territory, and no small
amount of the profits realized dur
ing the past season from the excellent
wheat crop, are being put into re
pairs and improvements of a per
manent nature. These improve
ments are not confined alone to the
little city, but are reaching out Into
the country, and the farmers are get
ting the spirit, building new homes
and putting in water systems and
otherwise beautifying the surround
ings and making the country a more
pleasant place in which to live. This
paper is Informed by Karl Beach, of
Beach & Allyn, that they have beet
quite busy the past six weeks in
stalling water systems and among
those who are adding this conven
ience to their residences, we mentlo
John McMillan, Neal White, B. 8
Clark and G. L. McMillan. These
parties have put in complete water
systems and have their homes well
and conveniently supplied in a mod
ern way. A number of other farm
ers who have good wells are put
ting in pumping plants and many
of them getting ready to. have the
water properly installed in their
houses. New residences and other
buildings are either building or in
contemplation and the coming Spring
months will witness lots of activity
in this line. Among those in the
country who have begun construction
work is George White who is now
pouring the concrete for his elegant
new farm home and will have the
basement of the structure completed
within a very few days. Henry John
son & Sons, of Heppner, have the con
tract for putting up this new home,
which, when completed, will be one
of the very finest farm residences in
Morrow county. The plans for this
dwelling were furnished by Tum-a-Lum
Lumber Co., of Lexington and
they have also furnished the material
going into it. Mr. White will have
every modern convenience installed
and a home that he will justly he
proud of. It is a pleasure to be able
to chronicle such substantial im
provements and to record the tact
that so many of the farmers arc. now
reachlrg the financial condition that
will permit of them improving their
farm homes and making them attrac
tive.' Nothing speaks louder of the
prosperity of the country.
Have Potato Planting Day. '
Realizing the fact that potatoes
have become a luxury as well as one
of the necessary staples of the every
day food supply, the Ladles' Aid of
the Congregational church gathered
at their headquarters on Wednesday
last and organized themselves and
their friends into a potato plantng
club.
They have a lot of consderable
size on which the house is located
where the Society holds Its meetings.
and they conceived the idea that it
would be a profitable Investment to
plant the lot to potatoes and thus lay
the foundation, at least, for a for
tune. With this Idea in view, the
ladies gathered and begun the work,
providing in the meantime, a sump
tuous dinner which was served tp the
laborers at noon, and having so a
bundantly prepared for this feature
thore was plenty left over for supper
which was Berved and greatly enjoy
ed after the completion of the day's
labor. The lot now being nlanted.
tho tadles will watch the spuds grow
Into dollars.
Henry Zochard who recently pur
chased some lots from Mrs. Penland
on Knob Hill, has just finished a well
and will shortly begin the erection of
a residence and expects to complete
one of the neatest homes In the town.
Putting Up Concrete Pump House.
Lexington Water Companyy, W. G.
Scott, proprietor, has just recently
completed a new well. This was bor
ed a short distance from the old one
and is 300 feet deep and furnishes an
abundance of good, pure water. A
new pumping plant is being Installed
and Mr. Scott will enclose the same
with a concrete building, constructed
with a view to being entirely sani
tary and insuring Lexington a water
system second to none in the county.
A waive of patriotism has spread
over the community and a number of
the young men have already gone
forth to enlist in the Navy. H. L.
McAllster has taken his departure
for Portland with the avowed Inten
tion of joining the army for the
country's defense. He is a Spanish
War veteran and has always heW
himself In readiness to enlist in the
service of the country. The impres
sion prevails that there will bo a
number more answer their country's
call for volunteers.
K. L. Beach Is having a new fence
of neat design put up around his resi
dence property. Karl stands in Hie
front rank of the progressive citizens
of Lexington.
