To put the road leading to the cam
tery In the rlsht kind or condition to
be practically aafe In all conditions of
weather.lt was decided the best thing
to do was to give It a good covering
of gravel. For many months various
Interested citizens of the city aid com
munity had been discussing Improve
ments to this road; some thought It
, should he relocated in order that there
would not he so steep a pull up to the
graveyard, while others believed that
the present grade could be put In Just
as good condition as any new road that
might lie built, and then there was the
added expense of getting a place to put
the new road and of building It after
this place wns secured. So, after run
ning over the different approaches to
the cemetery and slilng up the whole
situation, the plan to gravel the present
road was adopted.
To get thia work done, Mayor Noble
called a holiday for. last Tuesday, and
the response was very generous. The
stores and other places of business clos
ed promptly at half paBt eight In the
morning and remained closed until t
In the evening. Numerous teams and
wagons were provided and several
trucks were on the Job, these to trans
fer the gravel from the pits to the road,
where there was a big crew of men
with shovels and rakes to do the
spreading. The greater part of the
gravel was secured frowi the mouth of
the draw Just east of the MoCullough
residence and adjoining the city rock
iiit. Here there was a line gang of fel
lows to All the wagons, and the entire
Job was pulled off as a matter of play
rather than work. Tt was necessary,
however, to coll for volunteers for an
other half day on Wednesday, as the
Job was Just" a little bigger than at
first contemplated, and to this second
call there was also a generous response
and the work has been completed to the
entire satisfaction of all.

All of the wool from the Echo plant
has gone Into the warehouses, no sales
having been made of this clip yet.
Wools from this district are better
grade than they hnve been for years,
and hnve sheared more weight to the
Jeece than usual. This is attributed
to the open, mild winter and good

REDUCTION IN PAY OP
TEACHERS IS FAVORED
In response to the call sent out last
week by the superintendent of schools,
there was a representative gathering
of olllmra nnd patrons of the various
school districts at the court house on
Raturdny afternoon, nnd for more than
an hour there was some pretty lively
discussion. Itecnuse of the general
downward tendency In tho production
of farm and ranch and the very poor
market conditions, tho majority of the
speakers wore favorable to reduction
In tho pay scale for teacher 1 At the
meeting of the school board convention
In February, a resolution was adopt
ed to tho effect that the minimum wnge
for teachers In Morrow county be plac
ed at 11200. Hlnce that time, however,
tt. has dawned upon tho taxpayers of
the county that they are beinff hit
mighty heavy, so they nre now out to
trim on every corner and mnke cuts all
down tho line wherever poslblo, There
was much good argument presented
why the senlo of wages for teachers
should bo lowered, nnd on the other
hand several speakers were opposed to
this, nnd took up the argument for
sustaining the snlnry scnle and mnk
Inc demands for higher efficiency on the
part of teachers, thnt the standard of
education In the schools might be thus
better mnlntnlned and Improved. It
was an Interesting meeting nnd the
question of what tho minimum wage
should be this year wns left open upon
a motion being mnda thnt $75 per
month be the basis to work from.

PROGRAM COMMITTEE.
Chas. Valentino who lives north of
Heppner Is preparing a field for strip
border irrigation. This Is a piece of
land which has so far never been un
der Irrigation except for a little water
applied last year. Mr. Valentine is un
dertaking the thorough preparation of
this with the Idea of getting it In fine
shape to grow alfalfa. There is more
lam! along Willow creek that can go
through the siime process with consid
erable advantage.

Present Proposition.
Aside from the regular routine of
business on Monday evening at the
meeting of tho city council, there was
presented the needs of the Heppner fire
department. R. E. Notson, who is pres
ident of the hose company, was present
yiid urged more hearty support of the
boys who are expected to take care of
(Ire lighting in the city. It was shown
that there should be someone at the
head- of the organisation that under
stood how to handle the apparatus and
the men when a fire was raging; that
this same party should have In charge
the apparatus nt all times and be In
authority over It, that what equipment
we now have will always be ready and
In good condition, nnd many other sug
gestions were made, the result of which
was the appointment by the council of
Mike Curran to bo lire chief and his
salary placed nt 2fi per month. This
appointment Is assurance that the
things desired will bo had, for Mr. Cur
ran is the man to take care of the Job
an It should be.
The proper encouragement of the fire
company In Its drills was also taken up
,and dslcusBCd nnd It wns tentatively
arranged that a prize will be offered
around $200 for a comeptitive drill to
take place early in the fall between the
two hose companies of the city. This
will be an Incentive for the boys to
get In and drill. Full particulars con
cerning this will be made known later.
Tho city nttornny wns Instructed to

nger, nnd make arrangements to hnvo
a switch to the fire alarm Installed In

The monthly report of the water com
mittee wns presented and ordered filed.
Tn this connection, the council voted a
cut of 20 per cent In the wages of the
employees nt tho water plant, this cut

BUT THERE WAS
ARE VERY SUCCESSFUL
(Morrow County Farm Bureau News.)
The sheep committee of the Morrow
County Farm Hureau met In the Coun
ty Axent's office on the 16th of this
month to consider the reports of the
trappers who have been operating un
tier the co-operative plan in Morrow
county. In the whole state of Oregon
there are twenty trappers at work in
eluding those at work in Morrow coun
ty. That is about one for every two
counties. Several counties are abso
lutely unable to get trappers at all
In spite of great damages wHlch are
being done. The state of Oregon for
the last two years has appropriated
$1250 dollars per year to carry on this
work, while the federal government Is
spending J18.000. It is easy to see then
that these trappera are paid by the
federal government practically entire
ly. In many state, the counties are du
plicating the amount of money spent
by the federal government In that ter
ritory. The trappers operating in Mor
row county due to this co-operatlva
effort have accounted for 164 cdyotes
during February and March. This is
at an expense to the sheepmen of $1S0
for these two montha This is prac
tically 80c apiece for getting these
coyotes killed. The entire cost to the
county, sheepmen Included, la $260.00,
or $1.60 apiece for the coyotes, while
under the bounty system figuring that
the average bounty paid on these coy
otes was $4.00 per head, bounty rang
ing from $3 to $!S, the cost would have
been for state and county $680.00. This
Ib a very decided saving to everybody
concerned as this federal money would
otherwise have been spent In some
other state If It had not been for the
co-operntlon extended by this county.
This Is one case undoubtedly where the
expenditure of this money for these
trappers has been a tremendous saving
to the county. If It can be continued
on this basis the county will have
saved a very decided amount by the
end of the year. Not only la this sav
ing In money but the coyotes ara
caught where they are doing the dam
age. One coyote close to a sheep camp
is worth a dor.cn caught out in the
mnuntnins somewhere where a bounty
trapper would probably get them.
The committee decided to continue
the campaign until the first of July
and possibly longer. Because of the
general success It wns decided to ask
the sheepmen all over the county to
co-operate In this pnyment and carry
on the campaign to the first of July,
and it wns decided to levy an assess
ment of 8c per head on nil the sheep
In the county. This assessment, of
course is voluntary but It Is hoped that
every sheopmnn will pay his part and
no doubtiiut what he will. It is proba
ble that the trappers will operate upon
the national forest during the summer
months on government pay although
this will be protection to local men
Just tho same.

to draw plans for a building which they
believe will fill the bill for many years
to come. Negotiations are now under
way, which, If put through, will put
the Legion in possession of a finely lo
cated lot near the center of town.
At tho luncheon Friday evening a
committee was appointed to investigate 1
the best plans for raising the money

E PHELPS SET
Mia or assd Hheelhosmc t Be Seated a
Italy Fleeted IJreetrft, Five !)
Betas lvea to Old Members In Whirs
( Retire.
, For the pnmt, at .eftat, th- ques-
lion of who was elected director Hst
January in the John Dav Irririon
distrlct has been settled by (he ju.lr-
ment rendered Friday last by Ju litre
Phelps, which declares C. A. Minor and
Arthur Wheelhouse to have hcn d'lly
elected and K,ves tne bojlM of dirpr
tors five days to Induct them into offe.
An appeal, we understand, h.is been
filed by the attorneys for the district,
but whether It will go any further than
this, we are not fully Informed. It
seems to be understood, however, that
tne Sectors are not disposed to fight
this case further, and are relieved to
have the matter settled and out of the
way.
This case, growing out of the elec
tion In January last, when C. C. Clark
and Edward Rletmann were nominated
by being duly placed on the ballot, and
on election day the names of C. A. Mlnr
or and Arthur WTieelhouse were writ
ten in, thus raising the question as to
their having been properly and legally
Jiomlnated under the law pertaining to
elections in Irrigation districts, has
caused considerable interest and dis
cussion. The opinion of Judge Phelps on the
question was given at the time he over
ruled the demurrer filed in the case
by the attorneys for the district, and
this judgment Is entered In accordance
with that opinion.
The tribulations of the district are
not yet over, however, as the suit of
the Northern Pacific Railway and num
erous land owners within the district,
against the board of directors, et aL,
is to be disposed of, and will doubtless
be long drawn out Just what effect
this will finally have on the success
of the reclamation undertaking re
mains to be seen. It Is certainly to
be hoped that the final disposition of
these questions will not Impair the suc
cess of the project and that In due time
the great scheme of reclaiming the de
sert lands of the counties of Gilliam.
Morrow and Umatilla will be adopted
by the government.
Sulphur Experiment.
The sulphur demonstrations which
were placed on alfalfa last year did
not give the resulta which it waa an
ticipated that they should give, how
ever, the Farm Bureau is not discourag
ed In this matter and has taken palna
to continue the demonstrations. The
plots put out last year will be closely
watched this year and several addi
tional plots have been placed in addi
tion. Around Boardman of course It
has given good results and the last
years demonstrations will be checked
up' on thia year and some additional
plots have been put out W. H. Mefford
of Boardman Is applying sulphur on
alfalfa. E. P. Jarmon on Butter creek
is also applying sulphur on alfalfa, as
ts likewise Krebs Bros, at Cecil.
Those who had demonstrations of
sulphur last year are Wightman Bros.,
Frank Moore, Rugg Bros., Heppner;
Slatt Halvorsen, Laxton McMurray,
lone; Roy Neill. Butter creek; A. W.
Cobb, Boardman. '
Last year we had several dmonestra-
tions of sulphur on gardens which we
thought gave good results clearing the
gardens of worms, as well as Increas
ing the yield of the garden. This
year we are continuing these demon
strations to make sure that we were
not mislead. Those who made these
demonstrations for us last year were:
Evans Bros., Oscar Mlor, W. A. Camp
bell, Arthur Keene, Roy Campbell, and
Wightman Bros. This year we have
on the garden demonstrations for sul
phur: Howard Anderson, Ed Huston
and Joe Hayes. This fall it Is an
ticipated that we will be able to give
definite and positive answers ns to the
value of sulphur on alfalfa, as well as
on gardens on soil in Morrow county.
