REANEY, AT LfeXINGTON, KEEPS UP WITH THE VAN IN IMPROVEMENTS-SOME OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST FRON OUR NEAR NEIGHBOR. A representative cf this paper had the pleasure, through the kindness of Lou Holmes, Tura-A-Lum man at Lexington, of making a v!.",lt to the A. Reaney place just below thr.t city on Tuesday ami taking a critical squint at the new barn Mr. Reaney has but recently completed. Mr. Hol mes is naturally somewhat proud of the building, as ia also Mr. Reaney, for the barn was constructed from plans furnished by the lumber com pany, after they had secured the ideas of Mr. Reaney. The barn Is 40 x46, 16 feet to eaves and capped with a full trussed roof. The entire struc ture rests upon solid concrete to which the barn is securely bolted, and nothing short of a regular "Mis souri twister" will ever be able to Jar it loose. The stall room accom modates 16 head of horses and these are arranged on either side of a spa cious driveway, while on the lower floor is a sleeping room, harness room and granary, sufficient to hold 400 bushels of grain. The mow over head will care for 50 tons of hay. We were struck with the substantial and neat, sanitary structure of the build ing and congratulate Mr. Reaney on the good judgment shown in putting up such a barn for the care of his horses. He spent $1850 as a total cost and the construction work was dons under the supervision of Walte' OrtTd, a builder living near Lexing ton. Mr. Reaney has oi.ier lmprove mr'iils in contemplation and expects telore a great while to put up a com modious shed for the storing of farm machinery. Quits liiii'beiing for Homestead. I J. B. Coxen, who has been conduct ' ing the barber shop at Lexington for several years, has leased the shop to C. J. Stevens of Forest Grove, and Mr. Stevens will arrive the last of this week to take charge. Mr. Cox en has already moved to his home stead which is near the Blahm place just below Heppner. He will undertake chicken raising and do small farming for the present, hop ing to be able later on to add to his holdings and spread out on a larger scale. The confinement of indoor work was the factor that Induced Mr. Coxen to take to the farm. Church May Construct New Home, The Christian church organization of Lexington Is contemplating very seriously the construction of a new church building In the near future. They own a nice building lot, the property formerly owned by the Lex ington creamery, and we understand that plans are being prepared for a church, that will cost around $5000 and be quite modern in every re spect. However, definite steps' have not yet been taken toward a new building as negotiations are pending for the purchase of the Southern Me thodist property. Should the latter move materialize, the money, or at least part of it. that would be used In the constructoin of a new build ing, will be used in remodeling this meeting house. Just what will be lone in this particular will be set tled before a great while. In the meantime the chinch is looking for-wa-d to the locating of a new pastor. They will have services in the M. IJ. ('hutch South on Sunday morning next, Guy Dill, of Eugene having charge. Mr. Dill will also preach in the evening for the church at lone. Booking orders for pure bred S, C.

Lee Cant well. ,uXtuJ Is Erecting Modern Ilnrn. , Alfred Nelson, a successful farmer living a few miles northwest of Lex ington, is beginning construction of a new modern barn for the care of his farm stock. The structure will be 66x60 and when completed will be a valuable addition to the Im provements on the Nelson farm. Mr. Nelson can be said to be one of the most successful young farmers of the north Lexington section. Ho came to Morrow county about ten years ago and for a time tried farming in Swede Canyon along with Pete Chris tenson and for several years had a pretty tough time of it. In the fall of 1915 he located on his present home as a rentor. Meeting with bet ter success he concluded to buy the place and has since added to his hold ings until now he is the owner of 1120 acres and is practically out of debt. The larger portion of the Nel son farm is the old Davy Parkins place and Is situated across the "dead line" on the north side of the Base ;.tne In a section oi he country long since condemned fo. farming pur poses, yet In this short time, by us ing the right methods and not be ing afraid to do good work, Mr. Nel son has come to the front and is mak ing one of the best farms in the country. He went on the land with out anything but a willingness to work. He was observant of the good methods used by his near neighbors and applied these in his own business and his success is well deserved. What Mr. Nelson has done in that lo cality can be done by others if they will give the same attention to their business, and by so doing a portion of the country that has long been thought very poor for farming will come rapidly to the front. To Store Distillate. Beach & scott are putting In a 560-gallon storage tank for distil late. The tank will be buried on the hill above the garage and a pipe will lead from this to a tap near the garage, giving pressure sufficient so that small tanks may be loaded in the wagons and thus save a lot of lifting. They will be prepared to care for the needs of farmers by having a sufficient amount of distil late in storage, and also save the use of smaller tanks which the oil company reports are getting scarcer every day. Receives New Issue Liberty Bonds, Lexington State Bank this week re ceived $6500 worth of the new bonds of the Third Liberty Loan, being the amount of the cash subscriptions in the recent drive. Cashier Hill is of the opinion that the greater portion of the Lexington subscriptions wll be paid in full on the day the first In stallment is due and but few will likely take advantage of the full time allowed by the government In which to make payments. Lexington has gone over the top in all drives to date and can be depended on to mea sure up for all future occasions. Pioneer Resident Quite HI. J. M. White, pioneer resident of Lexington, returned home on Sunday from a stay of three weeks in Port land, where he had been under the care of a specialist. We did not learn just what ailment Mr. White is surffeing with, other than an ap parent general breakdown. His phy sician has suggested a rest treatment for Mr. White and his many friends hope that ere long he will regain his former good health. B. F.

Padberg took about 120 head of his cows and calves to the Neal White place, north of Lexing ton, Tuesday, where they will be pastured during the summer on range that he has secured in that vi cinity. The stock was in excellent snape. C. T. Davis has oharge of the work of constructing a new 20.000-gallon cistern on the farm of McMillan Bros. est of Lexington.

A new bridge will be Dut in acrnsR Willow creek by the railroad com pany. The Umbers are on the ground and the pile driver is expected any oay to place the piling. The bridge will be a clear BDan over the creek and the channel will thus be left free from danger of choking by the lodg ment of debris aealnst the nillne In the middle of the stream as hereto fore.

Stacy Roberts House Burns at Hard man. The Stacy Roberts residence at Hardman burned to the ground last Monday. Reports received in this city by Mr. Roberts did not state, If It was known, how the fire started. The house was occupied at the time by Mr. and Mrs. Clair Ashbaugh and some people by the name of Hayes. No one was injured, but all the new furniture recently placed in the house by Mr. Ashbaugh, was destroyed. Mr. Roberts places his loss at $2000, of which one half was covered by in surance. Another Morrow County Boy in France. Among the letters from Oregon soldiers recently published In the Sunday Journal we note that of Douglas Becker, a former Morrow county boy. Becker, who is a foster son of Mrs. Laura Ward of 6013 48th St., Portland, resided In Hard man for many years and attended high school there until he entered Benson Polytechnic School In Port land. He will be remembered as the boy whose miniature aeroplane recei ved much favorable comment at the second Morrow County Fair. He has been in the army more than a year and In France about two months. He reports a pleasant trip across the "pond" and is well pleased with army life in France, but considers European methods far behind those of America.
