TM'-V TWO THE UAZETTE-TIMES, HEPPNER. OREGON. THURSDAY, MAY 16, 1918. CHANDLER SIX Famous For Its Marvelous Motor ! ChanJI, Why Women Choose The Chandler WOMEN choose the Chandler Sis quite as much for the ease with which they may drive it on any kind of roads or in any kind of traffic, as for the grace of its body designs, the comfort of its deep-cushioned seats and the beauty of its finish. They choose the Chandler, too, because of its mechani cal dependence, its ever-readiness. Thousands of women drive Chandlers, and, even though they may not know the why of its mechanical excellence, they know and appreciate the extraordinary quality of this great car. Chandler body designs offer a pleasing range of selection.

' Can you imagine a system of irri gating ditches carrying water in large quantities to. the w heat fields in that section cf country lying just north of the ba.i'i line in Morrow county? Peri.aps a visit to the W. D. New lon farm next Sunday will convince you that such a thing is being done, if you ever thought it impossible, to Bay the least impracticable. By dint of keeping everlastingly at it, Mr. Newlon was able to demonstrate fin ally that artesian water could be se cured in the "banana belt" of Mor row county. The first flow was struck In October, 1915. Since that time, Mr. Newlon has been devoting his en ergies to putting the water to a prac tical use. . Although the flow from the well was good, it did not come fast en ough to suit energetic Newlon, so he has installed a pump which has a cap acity of 1250 gallons per minute, al though it ha? been speeded up in trial tests to pump 1600 gallons. A series of (li'-cUt..! have been constructed, whii h ntr.v curry the water to a large wheat field north and west of the well. At the present time the water will irrigate 250 acres of the wheat land, besides taking care of a large area on tiie bottom in and near the farm house. The Newlon home, which was for merly owned by R. B. Rice before he sold to the Newlous for $25,000, was not ur.'I'co many of the other farms in t'.Mt particular section, but since the water has been found, a demon stration lias been made of what water will do if applied properly. Today the Newlon farm is a veritable "oas is In ti e desert." Prices on all land In that section have jumped in the last two years, since it has been prov en in a most practical way what can be done by practical farmers using practical methods. And the discov ery of artesian well water will be a boon to more rapid development in the future. Newlon is firmly of the opinion that he has "tapped" the pac ific ocean. So far as quantity goes, that might be true, but anyone who has tasted the artesian flow, which comes spouting from the lower re gions, and of such pure and sparkling qualities, knows that the water comes from anywhere but the Pacific 'ocean or the great Salt Lake. Mr. and Mrs. Newlon are making preparations to show visitors over their project next Sunday and it will be worth your time to motor out there, about 11 miles north of Lex ington and see what these people are doing to make a bigger and better Morrow county. Marshal Phelps Hying in Florida. According to mo last word r.vj.v ed from their son Marshal by Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Phelps of this eity, he is, still flying in Florida, being station ed at Miami. Marshal is in rather a unique branch of the service, inas much as he enlisted In the marines and has since then been transferred along with a company of marines to duty in the aviation service. Mr. Phelps was chosen on account of the excellent record he had attained for marksmanship. He believes that his company will be going over before long as the men were recently given an order to requisition heavier clothing. C. E. LUNDELL. Emil L'ir.dell, well known Goose berry farmer passed away at the home of his parents noar Gooseberry j on Saturday evening, May 4, after a short illness.

Also the eldest son who was suddenly killed by the falling of a huge tree in the great forest of Wash ington. And yet, not withstanding all the disappointments and sorrows of life, nature has been very kind in caring for him physically, as all were happily surprised to see him looking so strong and well both in body and mind. He expressed himself In the words "This is one of the happiest days of my life." What an Inspiration it should be to all Christian men and women that, though cold winds of sorrow may blow upon us, taking the objects, the very idols of our heart, then old age creeps upon us, robbing us of ambi tions and dreams of youth happy yet he clasped the hands of sisters, brother, and the host of nieces, neph ews and others who had come to greet him.
