the conducting of the hotel, in face of
the serious business situation. This
motion carried unanimously, and the
chair uppolnted Frank Gilliam, Fred
Tash and S. W. .Spencer to prepare rea
olutlon and present Haute to Mr. Foley.
President McMenumtu then called on
W. 11. Jiarratt of the Htate Highway
commission, who wan present and re
Hponded with un Interesting talk on the
local and general liighwuy situation.
Mr. Hut rati, natutally, confined himself
more particularly in this talk to local
matters, and stressed the completion of
the Oregon-Washington highway just
as far as possible on through to the
Umatilla county line, lie was especial
ly desirous of seeing the yap of some
nine miles closed between Lexington
and Heppner. Understanding of course
that all available funds for work on
this road now have been exhausted and
that It would be necessary to have fur
ther financial assistance before the
work could be completed, Mr. Harratt
suggested that the county borrow from
the commission such muney as would
be necessary. This could be done, pro
viding the county could properly
euro the commission as to the repay
ment. This provision is made neces
sary, Mr. ltariatt stated, because only
recently two counties of the slate that
had been assisted by leans from the
commission had taken steps to repud
iate their debts and Die commission
will guard against possibility of such
contingencies by requiring security in
the future. In the course of his talk.
Mr. Harratt also Impressed the club
with the necessity of having a commit
tee to appear before the commission
at Its next meeting In Portland on Mar.

so called attention to n nut her matter
that Is not new, but that has been
gently sleeping for some years pas',
because, as Mr. Harratt said, the people
of this town ami comnmnily are lonjr
sufferlng and patient. This pertains to
the very poor passenger service on the
Heppner branch. The time Ih now ripe,
Mr. Harratt stated, to get relief. He
hart recently discussed the question
with a leading u.-W. 11. & S. oltleial,
and he was ready to tell the men of the
club that nil Heppner needs to do Is to
get together anil hang together and go
after this thing and what is wanted
will be accomplished. What Mr. Har

Judge Campbell was called on to any
something regarding the road situation
In Morrow county, and he endorsed as
far as ho could all that Mr. Harratt
had said. He also called up the mattor
of taking some action with reference to
the Heppner-llardmnn post road. 170,
0d0 has been set aside to be used by the
county on this road, and It is hoped
that something can be dono right away
to get action on this In cooperation
with the government and state. Judge
Campbell stated that Morrow county
was absolutely unable to get any co
opeintlon from Grant county In order
to complete the road from the Morrow
county line on to Monument, and as a
consequenco there was a move on now
to divert this road up what Is known
as Chapln canyon and on ovor to con
nect with the John Day highway near
Spray. This plan la receiving consid
eration, but Ihe main thing now 1b to
put the HeppiiPr-Hardman road tn
shape that It will accommodate- the peo
ple living tributary to It. The Judge
is very desirous of getting the Hepp

state aid.
There Is to be a committee here from

At the regular monthly meeting of
the John Day Irrigation Board held on
the first Tuesday of September, 1920,
under consideration of assessments, the
minutes of the board read as follows:
"On motion by M. D. Clark, seconded by
Edward Rietmann, the board voted to
adopt the above budget (being $112,
413.00 and covering cost of organization
and operation for two years) and or
dered an assessment of 50 cents an acre
levied upon each acre of Irrigable land
within the district. This being the
amount necessary to provide the neces
sary money for operating expenses."
The total acreage within the district
at that time being 345,000 acres, and up
on the evidence available at that time
as gathered from the Government pre
liminary report and the personal exam
ination of the district made by W. L.
Powers under the supervision Of Mr.
Lewis, submitted a tentative classifica
tion of the irrignhle land amounting to
2LM.909 acres lo the board for assess
ment purposes, thereby eliminating
120.091 acres. The Bectlon covering this
action is as follows:
ASSKSSMK'VTf.
"Section 24. The board of directors
shall, on or liefore the first Tuesday in
September nf each year, make a compu
tation of the whole amount of money
necessary to be raised by said district
for the ensuing year, for any and all
purposes whatsoever In carrying out
the provisions of this act including es
timated delinquencies on assessments.
Said amount of money, when so deter
mined by said hoard, shall be and con
stitute an assessment upon all of the
hind included in said district, and shall
be apportioned by said board to lh
lands owned or held by each person,
firm or corporation, so that each acre
of irrigable land In the district shall be
assessed and required to pay the same
amount as every other acre of Irrisable
land therein except as hereinafter
otherwise provided.
The Hoard of Directors shall deter
mine the number of irrigable acres
owned by each land owner in the dis
trict and tho proportionate assessments
as herein provided for as nearly as may
be from available information, and
should it be found, that a substantial
error has been made in such determina
tion, proper adjustment may be made at
the next equalization of the annual as
sessment by increasing or decreasing
the amount any land owner shall pay.'
The preliminary elevations run by
Mr. Lewis showed that apparently the
most economical line for the canal was
to be considerably nhove the southern
boundary of the district, therefore maps
were prepared Including 97.8S0 acrs of
lend as a proposed addition to this acre
age, as since the survey must necessar
ily cover this, -4n tho opinion of the'
board the most equitable manner of
procedure was to circulate a petition
for the inclusion of this land at once,
The contracts with Mr. Lewis call for
40 cents per acre for every "assessable
acre," which under the law means, Irri
gable acres under private ownership.
The Irrigation law permits tho levy
ing of tho frst assessment upon a ten
tative classification of the land for this
purpose, .and this was what the board
really did do, and makes It tho duty of
the board to take evidence of substan
tial error at Us second annual setting
and make such corrections ns are neces
sary to provide an equitable assessment
upon each and every irrigable acre In
the district. Any taxpayer who feels
that his land has been falsely classified
may or may not pay his taxes before
the next annual meeting of the board
sitting as a board of equalization, and
with or without protest, and still bo en
titled to come before tho board and ob
tain an equalization of his assessment
next. October by showing his land not
suitable for irrigation.
In the opinion of the Board at that
time the host Interest of , tho district
would he served by paying for this sur
vey by assessment, because the Smith
Fletcher measure now nbout to bo en
acted and under which the John Pay
could most easily proceed, means giving
the government n clean slate so far as

There was a meeting of the ex ecu

the otiiue of County Agent Hunt in
Heppner on last Saturday, at which
two matters at least of importance were
taken up and disposed of.
There was present at this meeting a
committee from the commercial club of
Heppner to confer with the Farm Bu
reau committee with reference to Chi
nese relief, and the Bureau endorsed the
measure proposed by the club and a
resolution passed urging all fanners to

for the farmers to donate grain while
the tow ns will raise cash that is to be
spent with the farmers in purchasing
grain to be sent direct to China,
W. W. Smead presented the claims of
the Morrow county fair and the Bureau
agreed to take care of one day of the
meeting as a special Farm Bureau Day.
They agreed also to assist in the gath
ering of exhibits.
Farmers will be urged to purchase
their strychnine for preparing squirrel
poison from the Farm Bureau, where it
may be had at small cost, and each far
mer should endeavor to eradicate the
squirrels on his own premises so that It
will not be necessary to enforce the
compulsory rodent law this year.
Another mater of importance was the
setting of the wage scale for the spring
months. The wages are based upon the
scale at which men might be brought
into the county and agrees practically
with the basis on which employment
agencies seem willing to send in men.
The scale is as follocs: Single men, $40
per month, board and room; married
men, $tid to $70 per month, house to be
furnished; tractor operator, $4 per day,
board and room; cook, $30 per month.

Fine Display of War Relics

J. Y. Cook, general agent of the
Standard Oil Co. at Heppner, has placed
a very line display of war relics in tho

one of the posts where much of the war

able to gather together a line display
About half of what he hns Is in the

C H. Krwln was in from his farm
south of lone yesterday. He is feeling
good over the crop outlook and con
fidently expects to put a big lot of
grain in the sack this cominar fall. In
cidentally, Mr. Erwin looked up his
taxes at tho court house, and received
a jar that caused him to stand up and
take notice, and before it is all paid he
will have to realize some increased
grain production. It is a good thing
for our people this season that Mother
Nature is doing all she can to help out

game ia to be played with HermUton.
i.eiore tne boys get intor the game,
however, there Is to be a preliminary
by the Lexington and Her mis ton girls'
teams. As Lexington is to be repre
sented in this attraction Saturday eve
ning, a large delegation of fans will
be up from the wheat city to back up
their team. In fact it haa beeo a rather
noticeable feature that more Lexington
people are in attendance at these events
at Heppner than there are Heppner
folks, and the management of the
Heppner team is just a littie curious
to see if the order will not be some
what reversed at Saturday's games.
Our local folks should manifest a bet
ter pride iu the athletic events of the
school and not be content to Bettle back
and dole out praise to the youngsters
so long as they have a winning streak.
Financial assistance is absolutely nec
essary to make these things go, and the
home folks should be there in large
numbers Saturday night A big crowd
of local fans will put the proper pep
into the boys.
The games Saturday night wiU be
snappy. Let's all go.

&peeu iiermiston Hi school aggrega
i. on ut iiermiston on Friday the 2uth.
ihis game gave Heppner its seventn
bttaight win over in terse ho las tie teams.
Heppner started scoring immediate
ly after the game began and kept a
feood lead throughout the first half,
ihe Hermmtoa boys could not solve our
pushing and the score was 17 to 7 in
our favor the first halt
Ihe second half both teams came"
back stronger and it was some time
before any baskets were chalked up.
Heppner again found her stride and the
half ended 34 to 12 In our favor. Peter
sun's passing and checking featured in
this half while Howell played a won
derful game at forward, getting four
field baskets. Ferguson and Aiken
were off color and didn't get going as
they should of, while' Chidsey played
well at guard until he injured his hand
and had to be replaced by McDuffee,
who played a good defensive game.
The game was free from fouls and
Hayne, their coach, refereed, giving
good satisfaction.

High School Murmurs.
The Hermiston Hi School boys and
giils certainly treated the boys royal
ly over there, and some some time Is
planned for them here. The boys took
on a dance after the game and heard
some real music tendered by the high
school orchestra. Ferguson also gave
a few selections on the piano while Ir
win played the trombone and all in all
we had a real time.
The Hermiston girls' and boys' teams
play here Saturday night, March 5th.
The boys play us, while the girls play
tho Lexington girls, as our girls' team
has disbanded, and Lexington has no
hall. It will be some game, all for 50c.
Come out and help your high school.
We need your support.
The high school has at last secured
an athletic field, which we have been
trying to do for many years. Without
the aid of the people in the community
we would have been unable to put
across such a deal and we want to
thank the people who helped in getting
us the lease on the field known as the
Maiiatt field, now owned by L. V. Gen
try. Remember Saturday Ma re a 5th.
The licht opera "Love Pirates of Ha
