Subscription, $2.00 Per Year HIGHWAY WILL BE GRAY ELED COURT ASSURED ( oanlulciatr E. E. Kiddle Uorm Over SHuadoa Wllk Judge t'ampbeli.- Makrs Tripe Over Various lloada la laaatjr. Commissioner K. E. Kiddle of the State Highway Commission was a vln- Itor in Morrow county the fore part of the week, leaving fur other polnta on Wednesday morning. Arriving In Moi row county on Sunday evening, after being met at Arlington by Judge Camp bell and riding over the Willow creek highway on (he way up as far aa Iono, when It became dark, he continued the trip on up to Heppner the next day, taking In every part of the work cov ered by the Huber contract. Mr. Kiddle also took time to go over the road from Heppner out to Hardman, and of this he made careful observation, and upon returning to Heppner Tuesday evening a meeting was held with the County Judge and two of the highway engin eers, Messrs. Vinton and Hnldock, who were culled upon to furnish some esti mates, f Some time ago the entire county court, together with the district attor ney and other cltliens of Morrow coun ty, met with the Highway Commission In Portlnnd and took up the matter of (letting the surface of the Willow croelc highway surfaced so far as It will be finished, and the results of tMs meeting were far from satisfactory, the court returning home very much downcast. While they did not get a cold-blooded turn down, It was very evident that the commission would do nothing, and It appeared that the money and work thus far spent on this Willow creek road would be simply wasted and both the court and the taxpayers were facing a gloomy future regarding the problem of snving the grade. The visit of Mr. Kiddle here at this time was for the purpose of fully In forming himself as to the exact condl tlona The problem of Morrow county not being the only one the commission Is up against the commissioner Is go ing over roads In which the slate Is in terested In various other portion of the Eastern Oregon country. He will now return to the regular meetings of the commission prepared to give that body some Information of a vory practical nature, gathered up on this trip and by coming In personal contact with the situation aa It exists In the various sec tions. Judge Campbell Is assured by Mr. Kiddle that Mnrfrow county and the Willow creek highway will now be moved up to first place for consider lion by the commission. Further than this. It was agreed at the meeting on Tuesday evening, after getting the es timates on what It would cost to gravel the road bed, that the state would pro ceed at once with the work of grnvol Ing an eight-foot track on the highway and covering the twenty-five miles of , the Huber contract. It should be understood that the spec ifications called for by the state require that sixteen feet In width he graveled, and the commission has up until now stuck strenuously to those specifica tions, regardless of the fact that Judge Campbell contended right from the be ginning that eight feet would be fit flclent, and that the grading Bhould be done on this basis; and had this plan been adopted there would have been plenty of money to complete the work right up to Heppner and beyond to But ter creek, and then some to spare. Since going over the situation here, Commis sioner Kiddle at once recommended that tho gravelling be done on this basis. In fart It hns been a policy of his to get the commission to see that nn eight foot roiul in the most of these smaller e.ountles,where the traffic Is compara tively light. Is entirely sultlclent, keep. In'g In mind all the while that proper space 1b prepared on all curves, and he feels that he is bringing the other commissioners to his way of thinking. It Is estimated that It will require some 120,000 to do this graveling, and ns there was no provision in tho con tract for pulling In the necessary bridges, this Item will doubtless be han dled by the state, now that the expense of the grnvollng is cut In hnlf. Some other good suggestions were made by Mr. Kiddle and these will be adopted by the County Court In dealing with other problems they have to con sider. On the Hoppner-Hardmnn road Mr. Kiddle would recommend no par ticular changos In the route as It now stnnds as he cannot Bee where the now survey 1b nn Improvement over the old end It will require a lot of money to place the road on that lino. Ho there fore recommends that available funds be spent In making necessary Improve ments on Borne of the road bed between Heppner and Hnrdman, rather than the far greater expense of getting on to the new survey and yet not having any thing better when the work Is done, P.y obscrvattons taken with tho aneroid. Mr, Kiddle states that there Is no grade beween Heppnor and Hardman that now exccedB five per cent. The visit of Mr. Kiddle to Morrow county hns lifted a big load from the shoulders of County Judge Campbell and the other members of the County Court, and they now feel that there will be somothing done to preserve the grade on the Willow creek highway, ns the commissioner left Hoppner Tuesday morning In company with tho engineer to make arrangements for getting at the gravel pits and start the work of putting the rook on tho grade. The en gineers claim o have discovered two pita of cement rock which they believe have gravel In sulllclent quantities to do the work, and If this proves to be the case a covoring hns been found that Is practically as good nB cement pave ment. It is gratifying to know Hint this problem Is being solved so satisfactor ily to nil partlos concerned and may It hasten the day when the Willow oreek highway will be open for travel.

Thye Won Match In Two Straight Falls From Jepson Ted Thye won In two Btrnight tails from Nels Jepson in their match at the Star theater lust Saturday evening. The match gave promise of being a long one as Jepson enrly in the contest demon strated that he was a near match for his opponent nud he kept Thye pretty busy. However, 'after Jepson foil over the ropes Into the orchestra pit, where he landed on his hend and shoulders on the oncrete floor, he was greatly weak ened.

JUST KIDDING HIMSELF Observations and Impres sions of the Journal Man By Fred Lockley In Oregon Journal - (At the state fair Mr. Lockley "also takes a look at the Morrow county ex hibit, and is tutored in relation to Mor row's resources by an ardent Morrow fan who deals In the largest kinds of figures, all of which have the goods to back them up.) "Morrow county per capita is one of the richest counties in the state," said W. W. Smead to me as I stopped to look over the Morrow countybooth at the state fair. "Listen. We harvested over 2,000,000 bushels of wheat this year. At 12.50 a bushel, that means an income of 15,000,000 to the county. We export about 150,000 sheep annually, which means not less than $1,000,000 to Mor row county sheepmen. We ship out an average of 1,250,000 pounds of wool, worth about $500,000, while the income from our hay, 3l which we raise 30,000 tons, amounts to another half million. That makes a yearly Income from those four Items of $7,000,000. Out total pop ulation we estimate at about 7000, which makes a per capita Income of $1000 a year In our county. If you will size up our fruit and vegetables, our melons and honey and our other pro ducts, you will see we have many addi tional sources of revenue. & ' T moved to Eola, Just across the riv er from Salem, In 1867. After flye years I moved to the Alsea valley, where I spent another five years. I put in the next five years prospecting and mining. In 1880 I took up a half section of dry land near Ella, In Morrow county. In those days Heppner, the county seat, founded by Henry Heppner, was a vil lage of about 200 people. The men 1 remember best in the Heppner of 40 years ago were Henry Heppner, Frank Mattox, Ed Rishop, Gov. Rea, Ed and Tom Matloi'k, Jim Sperry, Henry Black man and rhill Cohn. Our little village has grown to a city of 1200. lone is the next largest community. Then come Lexington, Hardman and Boardman. When B. F. Vaughan, the postmaster, was drowned in the big flood of 1903 I was appointed postmaster and served in that capacity 10 years. "Yes, I guess T know nearly everyone In the county. We have some of the clggest sheepmen in the state up our way. Take such men as John Kilkenny, C. A. Minor, W. T. Matlock, Pat Connell, Mike Kenny, Bruce Kelly, Mike Mar shall and Anson Wright They all have biggest slioopmen In the state up our present we have about 260,000 sheep In our county. The wool we like best is from Merino ewes crossed with Lincoln rams.

Morrow county is a large county, ex tending twice as far south as it does along the river. Its altitude is from 250 feet along the river to 4000 feet on the southern plateau, which is timber land. Not many vegetables are raised, commercially, at an elevation of over 3000 feet but everyone in the county has a home garden and orchard. An irrigated strip ten miles wide, ly ing along the Columbia river, la where most of the vegetables and fruit are raised. This is called "the Band belt" but It Is really deep volcanic ash and exceedingly rich soil "the most pro ductive land of any project In the north west" It surpasses the Willamette valley soil In that while the valley clay soils have produced wonderful crops for 40 or HO years they are now becom ing depleted, while this deep volcanic ash is so exceedingly rich In chemical elements that all It needs Is water and humus, In the form of decaying roots, etc., so that while wheat production is decreasing on our clay soils,, these ash soils that raised at first 15 bushelB of wheat to the acre, raise more and more each year they are cropped and are now raising 50 bushels to the acre. There Is now water on about 25,000 acres and they are working on an Irri gation project which will extend-from the ten miles now covered to 15 to 18 miles Inland. This is called the John Day project The climate in the north is the same as that of Jackson county. All kinds of fruit and vegetables do well here, even hot weather crops. Peanuts grow finely here and make a good yield. While not extensively groWn now, more are grown each year and they will be grown here commer cially. Some sweet potatoes are grown and do well. Irrigon ahd Boardman ship out several carloads of watermel ons, cantaloupes and muskmelona. All varieties do well Rocky Ford as well as others. All fruit Is young here and the tree fruit was much Injured by the cold last winter. The peach trees were killed, but have all been replanted and are coming on again. Apples were winter killed. Their principal fruit exporter has been apples and strawberries and quite a few peaches were shipped. Some strawberries were shipped this year. A few specialize in honey and ship a lot of It and there are several acres of sorghum which will be made into "syrup." Forty years ago syrup was made quite commonly out of sor ghum here and in Umatilla county. Oregonian.

(lone Independent.) A pretty home wedding was elemn ired at the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Knappcnberg In Portland last Saturday evening when Miss Margaret Jones and Earl Judson Blake, both of lone, were Joined In wedlock. The bride wore a becoming gown of cloth, her tulle voil held In place with a band of orange blossoms. She car ried a large shower boquet of rosea Her only attendant was her sister, Miss Katherine. She was given away by Mr. Knappcnberg and her father, Rev. J. L. Jones of Idaho, officiated, using the beautiful ceremony of the Congregntlonal church. The brldo Is an attractive girl and a general favorite with all. She Is a graduate of the lone high school and has been acting and lately postmaster of lone for the past three years, Mr. Blake, tho groom, Is a son of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Blake. He was reared and educated In lone and is a steady and Industrious young man who has flttod himself for work In mechanical Tongineering. Mrs. Clyde Wolla and son Woodrow have returned from a visit to relatives at Gold HUL QUEER BIT OF BUS IH Here la Waal tk OHe Maaeger Tried Te Da. The followlnr I taken from the New York Herald: The house of Samuel It Nephews, Int, having cooperated with several other concerns in a lawsuit for damages, and the defendant having become bankrupt the office manager went to represent the Samuel corporation at a creditors meeting. He returned from this and reported that he had done a grand stroke of business, for which Samuel's fellow creditors had given him great applause. He had succeeded In arranging to have all the bankrupt debtor's available assets divided among the other credit ors, signing off all the claims of his own employers and had Incorporated with this settlement a perpetual agree ment on the part of Samuel Nephews, Inc., that they would hereafter par ticipate with all those associated cred itors in all the lawsuits In which they might hereinafter be engaged. Old Mr. Samuel said: "Well, I don't care so much about tho first part of the arrangement; I always expected It to be a bad debt I only went Into the fight as a matter of principle. But aa to this agreement to go into aU future lawsuits they may not concern me I may disaprove of them." "Oh," said the nvoy, "the agree ment only mean that you will engage In such suits aa you do approve of. It is all subject to the approval of your board of directors." "Does the agreement say so?" asked Uncle SamueL "No, the agreement la unqualified and unconditional, but It really meant that all these future actions shall be sub ject to the approval of your board." "Very well then," Bays Uncle Sam, "put that Into the document distinctly in black and white, before we ratify It" "Never! Not on your life!" said the envoy. What did Uncle Sam do? What would any man of sense do In such a caseT And Uncle Sam, though a good fel low, a good neighbor and a generous friend. Is no tool. "Very well, then," aaya he, "I will appoint your successor and we will have a new deal. Instead of a combi nation to bring lawsuits, we shall make one to prevent them, and settle disputes amicably out of court That s my no tion, and your successor shall carry It out" Prominent lone Young Man Weds Willamette Valley Girl Harley E. Sperry, son of Mr. and lira. Chas. B. Sperry of lone, and Miss Wln nifred Ransey were united In marriage at the office of County Judge Campbell at the court house in this city on Tues day afternoon. Rev. W. O. Livingstone, pastor of the local Christian church, performed the ceremony. The bride re cently came to lone from her home In the Willamette Valley and Jhe groom la well and favorably known In the lone section, where he haa been asso ciated with his father in the ware house business. The young people will make their home In lone. The young couple returned to lone Tuesday afternoon and were given a monster reception at the rink In the evening. They have gone to house keeping In the Jones residence on Second street High School Teams Battle Scoreless Game at Lexington One of the cleanest football games ever played In Morrow county by inter scholastic teams resulted In a 0-0 score at Lexington last Saturday afternoon when the two light teams of Lexington and lone high schools met in their first encounter of the season. Both teams pulled their plays fast and were strong on offensive plays. Both, however, were woefully weak In defense. It Is rather hard to explain why either team failed to score as both had no trouble In making yardage, once the ball was In their possession. Hill, quarterback for Lexington, made several large gains by end runs, with almost perfect Interference. Dallas and Earl Ward and Gerald White also showed to advantage for Lexington. For lone. Blake was a consistent yard age maker, while the line plunges of Devln and the dodging qualities of Linn at quarterback position and Davidson at end were the Egg City luminaries. It Is freely predicted that both teams will develop a greater strength as the season progresses. At the present time their strength Is so near equal that It would be hard to determine Just which is the strongest. Coaching will un doubtedly spell the ultimate result This Is the second scoreless game In the lntorscholastlc league this season, as the game at Hoppner two weeks ago resulted the same way when neither Heppner or Lexington could gain an advantage.

Taeaa Appear Her la latere! f Rapabll cam ceaa. Pie For Greater Sa tloullaas Made, Republicans of Oregon should stand solidly behind the candidacy of Robert N. Stanfieid In hla race agalnat George E. Chamberlain for United State Sen ator. . This was the statement mad both by Congressman N. J. Sinnott of the sec ond Oregon district and Walter L. Tooze, Sr., of Salem, who are touring Eastern Oregon In the Interest of the Republican party and both of whom spoke in thla city recently. Mr. Sinnott appeared at the Star theater last Thursday night and ad dressed a large audience. HI state ments regarding the league of nation and the manner in which he showed up the betrayal of the constitutional In terest of the United State and Ameri can traditions, met with prolonged ap plause. The flag of Internationalism would fly high over the Stars and Stripe un der the league plan, according to Mr. Sinnott The master hand of Lloyd George 1 plainly evident In the league covenant for as pointed out by the con gressman, under the working of the league, the United State would be out voted by Great Britain seven to one In any controversy that might aria. And also, the smallest nation In the league would have a vote equal to the United States, the richest country In the world, America would pay the blU for policing Europe and we would, Instead of being freed from the scourge of war, be ever lastingly tied up to aU the petty em broilments that have grown or may grow up out of world-old feud In Eu ropean countries, Mr. Sinnott strongly urged the elec tion of Robert N. Stanfieid for Senator and pointed out that under the ruinous free trade policy, enacted under the Un derwood tariff, farmers and stockmen especially, are being forced to the wait Mr. Stanfieid is committed to the policy of a strong protective tariff and will back up the Incoming Republican ad ministration In putting over the party's policies. Mr. Tooze, who Is an orator of great ability, spoke much along the same line as did Congressman Sinnott He called attention to the pigmy qualltltea of Mr. Cox, stood him up alongside of the great statesmen of America of for mer days and the present and th com parison brought out strongly th mark ed difference between the men who made and maintained th traditions of our country and this man who la going over the country making any kind of a speech to fit th occasion In his (Sort to catch the votes. Mr. Toon briefly called attention of his audience to the fact that Governor Cox no longer dwells on the slush fund charges, now that they have fallen flat "Do you think that th American voter can be bought for thirty center asked Mr. Tooze. "Well this 1 th amount raised to buy your rote, even If the charges of Mr. Cox wer true." Summarization. Regarding hla stand on the League, Senator Warren G. Harding, Republi can candidate for President gives th following summary: It seems to me that there should not remain a shadow of a doubt about my exact position as regards the proposed league of nations as drafted at Paris and submitted to the Senate and as regards the great world sentiment for a better understanding among nations to discourage war and generally to advance civilization. Let me restate my position as explicitly as my power of words permits: First I am unalterably opposed to going into the league of nations as that particular proposition now stands. That proposal Is contemptuous of and poten tially destructive of the Amercian Con. stitution. It Is not favored by th American people.' Second I am in favor of a world as sociationcall it what you will, the name Is of slight consequence that will discourage or tend to prevent war and that will encourage or tend to en courage a better understanding among the nations of the earth. The old or der of things Is done with, not only In America but throughout the world, and the United States, always quick with sympathy, always Just and usually led by common sense, must play Its part In this new order. Third I believe that such an associa tion can be formulated without wreck In the Constitution that remains the corner stone of our liberties and our happiness; without selling or filching the sovereignty that Is our pride and our inspiration to fine living and good works. Fourth I earnestly believe that the conscience, the ready sympathies, the sense of justice and the plain common sense of the United States can be de pended upon by the rest of th world, and that It would be stupid as well as unlawful to attempt to chain our sym pathies, our sense of justice and our common sense, to tie these strong, fine, dependable American qualities to the possibly selfish ambitions and aims of foreign nations or groups of nations whose ideals are not the same aa ours, never have been and never will be. Fifth It Is ray purpose, when elected, to take the whole people into my confl dene as regards these matters, to seek their advice, and more Importantly, to act consonantly with their advlee; and to this end It will be my pleasure aa well as my duty to call Into conference th ebest minds, the clearest minds, that America affords. I thank God that the time has come when I can ask the ad vice of American women and epclally the mothers of America. The substance of these things ha been said aald In some form or other In every address, and I say it all definite ly now, because I am not always fully reported and I want America to under stand my thought of cooperation as well aa the abiding opposition to the league proposed.
