Representing the associated commer
cial bodies of Umatilla county, nine
cars of live wirea from Pendleton and
other towns of the county arrived at
Rltter Hot Springs on Sunday after-
noon,where they remained over night,
and then proceeded on to Canyon City
ana reluming via Long Creek, Hamil
ton. Monument and Heppner to Pen
dleton. At Hitter they met a strong delega
tion of the residents of northern Grant,
headed by Commissioner Caverhlll of
the Grant county court. Happening to
be present at thla meeting, the editor
of thla paper was enabled to get a pret
ty good line on what the Pendleton and
Umatilla county fellows are after. They
had reached Hitter over the Pendleton
Alba trail and. they were In uo frame
- tit the direc
tion of good roads leading out south
from the Umatilla county capltol, in
fact they were a sore bunch and lost
no words In condemning the bad con
nectlona aa far south as the Umatilla
line.
However, no promise could be made
for Immediate improvement, for funds
were all spoken for and the program
was complete so far as present demands
were concerned, and the Umatilla peo-1
pie could only promise to get behind
some plan that was going to furnish
necessary funds at some future date.
It will require a large amount of money
to make a decent road out to Pendle
ton from ititter and where It la com
ing from is a matter to be worked out
The main object of the Junket was
to get lined out on a cooperative pro
gram that will unite the counties of
' Umatilla, Grant, Harney and Lake on
the proposedjiorth and soulh highway
to the California line, which, when com
pleted, will be the means of diverting
a large amount of the tourist travel
through this part of Oregon, Besides,
this same road would be the means of
diverting a very largo portion of the
Orant county trade direct to Pendleton,
hence the more direct benefit to that
city.
Pendleton speakers, however, realis
ed that a large part of this trade was
directly tributary to Ileppner, and they
alated that they would not be In the
least sore to have Heppner go out and
get It. As a matter of fact, Heppner
ie very favorably situated, and on ac
count of the far shorter distance li
has the preference aa a trading and
shipping point of the populace of nor
thern Grant.
Corning In via Hoppnor-Riitor road
on Monday, direct from Hitter, we were
convlncud that this route Is the one
that will be chosen by the people of
the Hitter and Long Creek sections in
getting to tho railroad. A splendid
grade is now about completed down to
Hitter from the Long Creek side, on
which Grant county has spent a very
large sum of money, on this side of
Hitter and between the middle and
north forks of the John Day there Is
a lot of work to be done and Grant
county la ready to do it Just as fast
as the means can be provided. Com
missioner Caverhlll assured us that the
people of his district were very anxious
to have the road put In sha'-e Just as
early as possible and the court was In
sympathy with their desires. 101
grade up out from the North fork Is
In good shape now and can be readily
negotiated by automobiles and other
vehicles. It Is free from rocks and
quite smooth and people going over to
Hitter and other Grunt county points
will bo able to get through easily. The
Morrow county end of the road la fine.
A lot of good work has been done In
smoothing up the road In many places
right recently under the direction of

A fire In one of the grain lields of

troyed about 75 acres of tine standing
wheat before it was finally brought
under control. We did not learn bow
the fire started, but owing to the fact
that a stiff wind was blowing at the
time it was very hard to do auythiug
to check its progress. Some sixty men
refunded to the alarm, coming from
various thicshing crews in the vieiu
ity, and between the gusts of wind they
were able to light the hie back and di
rect its course so that It burned out
after covering a . space of some 75
acres. The grain was Insured on a
basis of 20 bushels to the acre but at

The American Legion and Free Speech An Editorial
There will be loud and prolonged
squealing by our very best little Bol
shevists all over the country because
the New York County committee of
the American Legion has voted down
a so-called "free speech" resolution.
No patriotic American citizen will
doubt for a moment that the Ameri
can Legion is for free speech, but
inasmuch as the news dispatches
will contain few details of the ac
tion of the New York council, a good
many of us will be confused and
many will be doubly confused by the
rantings of Bolshevists and of rad-
cals, who, as usual, will talk wild
without knowing the circumstances.
In New York is a weekly magazine
called "The Nation," which has been
the head center of Bolshevism in
America ever since Lenin and Trotz
ky captured the Russian government
nnd traitorously broke up with bay-
onets the parliament elected by the
citizenry of Russia.
"The Nation," having some pre
tense of literary excellence, has be
come the library table companion of
every parlor communist in America.
Read The Nation carefully and be
tween nearly every line you will
find the shameless wish to PUSH
THE UNITED STATES INTO REV
OLUTION into a civil war that will
put our country into the hands of
the American Bolshevists, the I. W.
W. thugs, and the offscourings of
crime, as in tortured Russia.
Naturally, "The Nation" has been
nagging the American Legion ever
since it was organized. Why? Be
cause it knows that the American Le
gion will prevent the revolution so
ardently desired by a few thousand
turbulent spirits. Anyway, "the Na
tion's" nagging has reached the point
of frenzy, so that it has now blamed
the Legion as a body for scattered
acts of violence and for which it
was not responsible in the least. The
purpose was to make the New York
veterans disavow the acts of a few
dozen irresponsibles here and there
over the land.
The New York Legion refused to
be driven to the defensive by any old
organ of Bolshevism and civil war,
and therefore, when, at the instiga
tion of The Nation, a resolution
declaring free speech for every ran-
tankerous street corner rowdy in the
country, was presented, they just
simply turned it down.
But just imagine the joke on the
Bolshevists standing as defenders of
free speech and a free press and as
condemning violence! No such thing
as free speech or a free press exists
in the one country where they rule
and violence is the other name for
Bolshevism.

UMATILLA FORESTNEWS
Of
Gurdaae District.
Forest fires have made the past week
a period of strenuous activity. Sunday
night a thunder storm passed over the
Ukiah and Albee districts Monday
night an electrical storm of great se
verity passed over the John Day coun
try and the eastern part of the Our
dane district. The forest service tel
ephone system of this district waa ser
iously Impaired. The out-door tele
phone at Arbuckle mountain was put
entirely out of commission. But by
Wednesday night Guard Casteel and
Ranger Woods had the phones back in
good working order. During Tuesday
Lookout Bloss at Tamarack mountain
reported a total of thirteen Area The
lookout In the Ukiah district up to Sat
urday night had reported nearly a
score. Nearly all of the fires were put
out while they were small. But only a
light sprinkle of rain fell over the Our
dane district and some (Ires are yet
burning, notably the Pole creek fire and
the Matlock fire near the Junction of
Matlock and Scaffold creeks. By the
last of the week drift amoke waa ser-
ously interfering with the lookouts in
fire detection.
Smoke-chaser Rltchey had the mis
fortune at the Pole creek fire of hav
ing burnt off his well polished shovel.
He had lain It down by a log to cool
from an active heat of trenching while
he wielded an axe. In his short absence
sparks set the log on fire. Incidentally
another shovel was available so that
no time was lost.
A new bridge has been built by Mr.
Stout and Ranger Woods at Spruce
spring near South Jones prairie. This
la a road Improvement that has long
been needed. It will be appreciated by
persons hauling wood from the Jones
prairie region.
There Is a great abundance of dry
lodge pole pine, commonly called black
pine, on national forest lands near the
Jones prairies. This timber makes ex
cellent stove wood Permits for use
will be granted free upon application to
the Forest Ranger, Gurdane, Orojon
or by phoi.e to Ellis Ranger Station.
The Five Mile drift fence Is now com
blend. The last of the crew left for
their homes Sunday. A total of four
ten miles was constructed. The forest
service supplied the material and the
cattle association paid for the work.
The fence will serve to hold tha cattle
regularly permitted to the Five Mile
range from drifting onto the adjoining
sheep allotments.
J. D. French, president of the Five
Mile Cattle association, accompanied by
the advisory board, consisting of R. A.
