Much Improvement Is Noted By Our
Reporter In the Little City
As HprinK Advances.
Items of Interest.
The little city of Lexington is mov
ing to the front, and as Spring advan
ces a great many evidences of sub
stantial growth of the place are bud
ding forth. A representative of this
paper spent a day there the past
week and made note of some of the
things going on, and also imbibed
some of the spirit of optimism tliiit

sometime to complete the house and
the contractor will not make a guess
as to when this will be done as he is
having a hard time to get suitable
men on the Job and is having to plod

self. This home will cost Mr. and
Mrs. McMillan in the neighborhood
of $7000 when completed and will
be a house to be proud of indeed,
Fine Residence in Course of Construction.
Farm Home Is Nearing Completion,
T. H. Nichols is putting the finish
ing touches to his new home on the
farm bordering Lexington. This is
a seven room house, nicely arranged
and containing modern conveniences
It occupies a commanding position
on the hill Just north of town and
shows the spirit of enterprise of
which Mr. Nichols is possessed in
keeping up with the procession. The
material throughout for this resi
dence as well as the new home of the
McMillans is being furnished by Lew
Holmes, the hustling manager of the
Tum-A-Lum Co. at Lexington.

Chas. H. Breshears is putting up a
small structure opposite the bank,
which when completed will be used
by Mrs. Bresrears to accomodate the
postoftice. Mr. Breshears Is doing
the work on this building himself.
Perhaps the chief Item of building
improvement to be noted at Lexing
ton just now, is the construction of
the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Join.
F. McMillan. This new home occu
pies a lot In the east end of town and
is prominently situated. Ten large
and conveniently arranged rooms in a
two-story house with full basement

Wheat In Moving Out Rapidly.
The crews at the Leach & Scott
and Jos. Burgoyne warehouses at
Lexington have been working night
and day for the past week In moving
out the wheat. The former have di
minished their supply very material
ly and reduced the amount on hand
to a point where it will not take long
to clean up. At the Burgoyne house
there Is still a heavy amount of
wheat stored. Cars have been com
ing in quite regularly each day and
they are loaded out at once, thus ne
cessitating a great deal of night
work. There is also a shortage of
men, so the two warehouses are
teams" and expect to
make a clean-up of all the wheat In
storage In very short order. When
the wheat Is
loaned in duik and shipments are
tne iscwlon farm, this going In at the
artesian well. Mr. Beach states that
there has been no apparent fallow
off in the flow of water at the New
Ion well but these people desire to
reach higher ground and take in
more land for irrigation. A new
style valveleBs pump has been placed
over the well and this is worked by
an 8-horse gasoline engine and a flovt
from the well of 1000 to 1200 gallons
per minute is obtained and the water
raised to a level ten feet higher than
vaa possible by the force obtained
from the artesian flow. When the
pump is not working, it Is so arran
ged that the water can flow through
it from the well and the lower levels
wanted to be reached can be Irriga
ted in this manner. Mr. Beach think3
the improvement has added much to
the value of the well and states that
a great abundance of water Is being
obtained which will be used In irri
gating better than 160 acres of fine
land. The engine was furnished by
Joseph Burgoyne. The Newlons are
still making 'good improvements on
the Rice place and are now taking
up the work of improving the South
Springs ranch, where they expect to
Install an extensive pumping plant
in the near future. The Irrigation
system they have installed is under
the direction of an experienced man
from the Yakima country and Mr.
Beach is of the opinion that excel
lent results will be obtained.

The Gazette-Times
Makes Clubbing Arrangement With
The Oregon Farmer
Offers Unusal Opportunity to its Readers
MONG our large circle of readers
there are a great many who are in-
A
va j i.ii.. .i i . i. . .
jjieresieu airecuy and indirectly in
fruit growing, dairying and other
branches of farming. All of these
naturally wish to keep in close touch with
agricultural activities throughout the
state; and to know about any fight which is
being waged for the measures Oregon far
mers want and against all sorts of schemes
that are detrimental to the people and ag
ricultural interests of this state.
We have, therefore, made a special club
bing arrangement with THE OREGON
FARMER whereby any farmer or fruit
grower, who is one of our regular subscri
bers and who is not now a subscriber to
THE OREGON FARMER, will he entitled
to receive THE OREGON FARMER in
combination with this paper at the same
rate as for this paper alone.
This oer applies to all those who renew or
extend their subscriptions as well as to all
new subscribers. If you are interested di
rectly or indirectly in Oregon agriculture,
do not miss this unusual opportunity, but
send your order in now.
THE OREGON FARMER is the one farm
paper which is devoting itself exclusively
to the farming activities and interests of
Oregon. It has a big organization gath- .
ering the news of importance to farmers,
dairymen, fruitgrowers, stockraisers and
poultrymen; and it has the backbone to at
tack wrongful methods and combinations
and bad legislation, and support honest lea
ders and beneficial measures. We are con
fident that our readers will congratulate us
on our being able to make this splendid and
attractive clubbirg offer.

Barely Misses Serious Accident.
Miss Edith Reaney, daughter of
Andrew Reaney, barely escaped a
serious accident in Lexington Friday
last. She was driving the Keaney
car and crossing the bridge at the
garage she was taking the hill on
high. When about two-thirds of the
way up, desiring to change gears and
go into Intermediate she threw the
lever into reverse and the car was
shot back down the hill under full
power. Miss Reaney apparently lost
control and did not throw the emer
gency brakes and backed into one of
the bents of the bridge with great
force. The bent was strong enough
to hold and the car was brought to
a standstill with a crash and just
prevented from going over into the
ditch, a distance of perhaps eight or
ten feet, which fall would no doubt
have landed the car bottom side up
and crushed the occupant. No very
serious damage resulted, however,
and Miss Reaney was indeed fortun
ate in holding the car to the road as
well as she did and thus prevented
it from going over the embankment
at the end of the bridge.
Roads Are Still Being Stirred Up.
The county road crew Is at work
in and around Lexington and some of
the roads are being stirred up in a
scandalous manner. Just what Idea
possesses the road crews to go at this
work at this time Is not altogether
clear and unless heavy rains come to
settle the work done, the people who
have to travel these thoroughfares
will wallow in dust to their necks
from now until late fall, and the far
mers having to get over the roads
with, their heavy grain hauling will
have one sweet time of it. Had the
work been undertaken a couple of
months ago these roads wouldvnow
be In excellent shape.
Lew Holmes the hustling Tum-A-
Lum man, is going to see that Un
people of the Lexington section will
be supplied with fuel for ihc com
ing winter. He is getting in plenty
cf slabs and coal, and is seeing to it
that the residents in his territory are
being supplied. Lew Is an optimist,
and since becoming the daddy of a
bouncing big daughter he is sure that
he is some "pumpkins" in the neigh
borhood. Mrs. Holmes and the baby
are staying for the present at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Slocum
In Heppner and Daddy Lew has to
make his regular daily trips to this
city to see how the young lady is
progressing.
E. A. Zochert, the hustling dray
man will soon have one of the nice
homes in Lexington. He has a good
well on the place which lie has equip
ped with a pump and is able to irri
gate his entire lot. This has been
planted to trees and shruhbery and
the care it is receiving at the hands
of Mr. Zochert will soon bring the
desired results. He is going In for
a fine home.
Taylor Brothers, the well drillers,
are now engaged in putting down a
well for Frank Anderson at the head
of Jack Rabbit canyon. They are
now down between 260 and 300 feet
and expect soon to strike a sufficient
flow of water. Since coming to Mor
row county these gentlemen have
bored a large number of wells and
have been universally successful in
getting water.
Jos. Burgoyne Is making some im
provements about his mill and ware
house. The elevator for hulk load
ing of grain has been extended to
a greater height to make it more con
venient to dump the grain into the
cars, lie is also having the low pla
ces about the mill filled in and the
grounds generally improved.
