Mrs. Jane Ross, who has lived as a pioneer in pve different states, cele brated her 96th birthday last Thurs day at her home in Joseph. She is a first cousin of Napoleon Bonaparte, her family having come from France, and she is very proud of her connec tion. Many friends called during the day and Mrs. Ross was able to talk freely with them and tell about pioneering all the way across the continent. About the first one of the family got acquainted hvith at Joseph was F. D. MeCully who called to pay his re spects to the good woman and wish her many more birthdays. Mrs. Ross has kept to her bed for about two years but her mind is bright and she was happy to have her many friends call and talk over days gone by. Jane Tuttle was born at Nunday, New York, and lived there until she fwas 6 years of age when she moved to Pennsylvania where she remained until 12, when the family went to Kalamazoo, Mich. She grew to wo manhood there and was married to Joseph LeGore. They moved to Juneatta, Kan., in 1S55, and Mr. Le Gore opened a store and was the first postmaster in that part of the state. They lived there many years and saw Kansas grow from raw prairie to a well developed farming country. Mr. LeGore died there and his widow married John Ross. With their children they came to Oregon in the summer of 18S1, lo cating at La Grande. This trip, like all those which had preceded, was made by Mrs. Ross in a vagon. Her last move was made in 1S94 when she came to Joseph, where Mr. Ross died in 1906. Grandma Ross has made her home since then with her children, who are Joseph and Henry Ross of Joseph, Lawson Ross of Tou chet, Wash., and Mrs. Celia Cox of Medical Springs. All of these except Lawson Ross M ere with their mother at her birthday celebration. She has 13 grandchildren and 22 great grand children. Enterprise Record-Chieftain. Al TO LICENSE FEES. No increase in auto license fees is required in order to pay the interest and principal of all state highway bonds that can be issued under the pending 4 per cent constitutional amendment that will be voted upon at the Mav 21 election. Neither is any increase required in the gasoline tax. Nor is any tax on property involved. Revenue from the auto license fees and gas tax at present rates will be ample to care for both interest and principal of all the bonds that can be issued under the proposed 4 per cent limitation. The present road bonding limit is 2 per cent of the assessed value of property in the state. The increase is necessary in order to make it possible to complete the main state highways within the next few years, instead of waiting in definitely for their completion from annual revenues. By issuing the bonds, the roads can be provided for use Iwhile the auto license fees and gas taxes are being paid. MATERNITY HOME I have arranged to take a limited number of maternity cases at my home in east Heppner and assure the very best attention and care to all pa tients.

Disabled Soldiers Are j Given Vocational Training! Sattle, Wash., April 14. (Special to The Gazette-Times) According to information given out here today by Claude W. Anderson, head of the Federal Board for Vocational Educa tion in this district, the following disabled soldiers of Morrow County are being taught at the expense of the government: Floyd L. Barlow, agriculture, Oregon Agricultural Col lege; Alexander Brander, agricul ture, Oregon Agricultural College; Mux Fanklin Rogers, commerce, Ore gon Agricultural College; David It. Mandel, Behnke-Walker Business College. The government is training these men because they were disabled by wounds or diseases which handicap them in following their former occu pations. Some are trained in schools, others in shops, factories or stores, some by a combination of both methods. Single men receive $80 per month for living expenses. Ad ditional amounts, bringing the totaal up to as high as 1150 per month, are allowed for dependents. District No. 13, which includes Washington, Oregon and Idaho, has trained or approved for training over 2,000 disabled soldiers to date. F. A. McMenamir., local attorney, returned Monday evening from a trip to his ranch near Alderdale, Wash. 1 Miss Lois O'Neill of Portland spent the week end in Heppner with her father.

Blacksmithing In all its branches, including Wagon Work, Horseshoeing and Repair Work ALL WORK GUARANTEED We Give a 5 Percent Discount for Cash J. B. Calmus . Formerly the Ashbaugh Shop There exists today on the Pacific Coast an acute shortage of gas oline. As this Company has pointed out on several occasions, the condition is due to insufficient production of crude oil and a greatly increased consumption of gasoline by industry and by owners of pleasure cars. Gasoline is a vital factor in the life of the community, industrially and otherwise, and it is of the greatest importance, at this juncture, that it be used with the utmost discretion, that essential requirements may be supplied. The present is by no means the season of maximum demand, which comes later in the year. The condition, therefore, is. likely to be continuing, rather than transitory. Responsibility for meeting the situation does not rest solely upon the oil industry. The public also has a serious duty in the matter. On its part, the Standard Oil Company is straining its resources and organization to increase the supply of gasoline. In the field it is working for the maximum production of crude oil. In the refinery it is working for the maximum production of gasoline from the crude oil. and it is spending large sums of money on equipment for new processes, of its own discovery and development, whereby a still greater yield of gasoline will be obtained. The point already has been reached where gasoline must be con served most carefully. That is a duty of the public. In consumption of this product essential industries must necessarily come first pleasure utilization thereafter. Already the Company has taken steps toward protecting the supply for the vital needs of industry which, if lessened, would affect the business life of the community. There is now the danger of a cur tailment of supply to non-essentials such as pleasure cars. The assistance of the public, therefore, is imperative. Until lately, gasoline has been abundant, and its lavish and extravagant use has been possible. That time is past. Buy as little gasoline as possible. Use what you must Waste none.
