LUG AI JOSEPH
Mrs. Jane Ross Celebrates OOth Birth
day, Mooting Many of Her Old
Frirmls.
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. For full information write or
phone MRS. G. C. AIKEN, Heppner,
Oregon. Box 142. Phone 395.
FOR COUNTY TREASURER
I hereby announce myself as a can
didate for the nomination to the office
of county treasurer, subject to the
will of the Republican voters of Mor
row county at the coming primary
election.
KATIE MINERT.
FOR SHERIFF
To the Democratic voters of Mor
row county: I hereby announce that
I am a candidate for the nomination
of sheriff, subject to your will and
decision at the primary election to be
held in May, 1920. If nominated and
elected I w ill conduct the office upon
strict business principles.

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.

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.
