MORROW COl JiTV OFFICIAL PAPER
ROAl WORK SHOVLD GO OX.
Sonic very substantial road build
ing has been done in Morrow county
this season. It started with the
street improvement in Heppner, and
we bclitve that the people are now
thoroughly convinced that the work
that has been done will last. The
construction company are now conv
pleting present contracts with the
county and will soon be taking their
plant away for work in other parts of
the state. This will happen unless
our county officials see fit to extend
the work already begun.
It has not been our privilege to
discuss this matter very extensively,
but we feel safe in saying that the
pi vh alt-UK the road leading north
west from Heppner through Lexinj
ton to lone would be very glad to
have the work continued in their
direction. They have come to ap
preciate the real pleasure there is in
traveling over a road of this charac
ter, and while in times past they may
have considered such class of road
work unnecessary, we venture the
sentiment is now practically unani
mous in favor of continuing the
work.
The best argument right now for
continued road construction Is the
fact that the preliminary expense of
installing the plant has been met. It
is in, the other machinery necessary
for carrying on the work is here and
the work is organized. To replace
this organization at a later date
would mean the expenditure of thou
sands of dollars before the real work
could be undertaken again, We be
lieve, also, that Mr. Smith has proven
he will do good, honest work, and
since he has done enough of it here
to become acquainted with what is
required to make good macadam out
of the materials we have, he is a good
man to continue on the job.
It will surely be a mistake if the
county court allows the work to stop
now, and we hope that sufficient in
terest will be worked up that they
may be induced to go ahead and con
tract for extensions leading as far as
lone.
STILL NOTHING DOING".
In our issue of three weeks ago we
called attention to the fact tnal
Heppner was badly in need ot a mno-
lcipal rest room, properly fitted up
with lavatory and toilet. The great
number of tourists daily passing this
way find no accomodations of thia
nature here, and it is working to.our
detriment. So far nothing has been
done.
We thought that the attention or
the City Council to the need was per
haps all that was necessary, but we
guessed wrong. They have been too
busy to meet to consider things of
this nature, and so it has passed
along.
We have heard numerous com
plaints, and the town is getting some
very bad advertising as a result. The
hotel accomodations are very poor.
because of the big fire, and this con
dition will not be changed for many
months, perhaps, so why not get to
gether on this municipal rest room as
a proposition to care for a pressing
need for the time being. Put in a
teptic tank and

cashier of the Bank of lone, is en
Joying a furlough and is on a vlsl to

visit of a week at Dayton, Wash.,

vicinity they also enjoyed a few days

Holmes states that the crops of the
Dayton section were pretty short this
season, falling far below the cus
tomary yield.

Campbell's American Band is one of the high class musical organizations of the Coast. They furnished music
last year for the State Fair, Astoria Regatta, and for other fairs and festivals. Mrs. Albert is recognized as
one of the best soprano soloists in the West. Mr. Whipp has appeared before Morrow County people at
former Fairs and needs no introduction here. The music this year will be better than ever before.
