HANDSOME
STRUCTURE
A. 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.

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.
