Aid In Civic Enterprise.
Realising that the time has arrived
when there should be a general clean
up of the cemetery, citizens of the
community are to get together for
this purpose on next Tuesday. The
suggestion that this work be done,
and the manner in which it might be
accomplished was discussed, and it
was decided that the Mayor issue a
proclamation, declaring Tuseday, May
13, a holiday. A request was pre
sented Mayor Noble to this effect
and in response thereto he issues
the following proclamation:
To the citizens of Heppner:
Upon the urgent request of num
erous residents of Heppner I hereby

iday for the purpohe of cleaning up
the cemetery, and to this end I urg
ently request that each business
houne of the city furnish at least one
representative, to tnke part in this
work; that every other citizen of the
city that can possibly do so will
join them, and that the people of the
community surrounding the city who
have any dead buried on the hill and
are thus interested In the cleaning up
of the premises be also invited to
join fn the work. The object is to
have sufficient help that the work can
be put over in the one day between
the hours of 9:00 a. m. and 4 p. m.
Hakes, shovels, picks, and hoes will
be the tools required and trucks will
be there to haul away the rubbish
The work will be so organized as to
be carried on in a systematic way,

people of the city and community
will bring about the desired result
in one day's time. I am expecting
your glad response to this call,
E. G. NOBLE, Mayor.

Three students, Joy Russell, soph
omore in vocational education, Elmer
Konenkilde, sophomore in agriculture,
and Ray McDuffee, freshman in voca
tional education, instead of bringing
their pocket books up to their ex
penses, are living "down" to their
pocketbooks. They are bachelors
and, taking their word for it, they
arc good ones.
"We didn't know much about cook
ing when we started," said McDuf
fee, "but 'Kosie' and I took food se
lection and preparation for men, and
now we sling some wicked pies and
cakes. 'Roste' had bum luck with his
last cake, but it was a technical er
ror. He read the recipe wrong and
only used one-third enough flour. I
made a mistake and used salt instead
of sugar in pie filler. But those are
minor details.
"We understtand quite a bit about
vitamines and calorics, but we favor
the calories quite a bit. We always
make sure we have lots of them,'
pointing to his increased waistline.
These young men take turns cook
ing breakfast and combine forces on
the other meals. This is their third
term as bachelors and they recom
mend it strongly as a way to "get
by." And the big thing rather the
little thing is the cost. The total
expense account for one month, when
split three ways, is from $17 to $W.

Recollections of a day far remote
when dinosaurs and mammoths
roamed the land and huge but
like pterodactyls fluttered on leath
ery wing o'erhead, were brought to
mind this week by the uncovering
of a large piece of bone by the
road crew up Cason canyon.
The portion of animal frame
found, by itself, is too large to be
associated with any modern rover
of field, prairie, forest or Jungle,
and from the amount shown to
have been broken off, in its entity
it must have been a whopper.
Thus, with no other explanation
of its origin at hand, we are forced
to hearken back to the compara
tively early date in the history of
Mother Earth's inhabitants, when,
archaeologists tell us, animals
many times as large as those of the
present day held sway.
Not being fully versed in the
science, and being unable to tell
from its shape or structure just
which of the ancient animal giants
this piece is a chip of, we will not
venture an assertion as to whether
it was a mammoth or not, but we
will acclaim that it was no ordinary
horse or cow.
George Moore, foreman of the
road gang, brought the relic to
town yesterday and it is now in the
window of Humphreys Drug store
for public inspection. Other small
er pieces were uncovered lirst
which were given slight attention,
but when this chunk, measuring
about 18 inches in length by 6 or
8 in breadth, was brought to light,
the crew were sure they had dug
up the grave of some animal of
much larger proportions than any
with which they were acquainted.
Mrs. Conser Buried
Here Wednesday
The funeral of Mrs. Lillian ConBer
was held at Masonic hall in this
city at 2:00 p. m. Wednesday, Rev.
W. O. Livingstone delivering a short
address preceding the beautiful burial
ceremony of the Eastern Star chapter.
A quartette consisting of Mrs. C. Dar
bee, Mrs. E. R. Huston, M. D. Clark
and Vawter Crawford, sang favorite
hymns of the deceased. There was a
piofusion of beautiful flowers banked
ar-ouf the casket, the offerings from
many loving friends of the departed
in Portland and Heppner. The con
cluding services at the grave were
in charge of Mr. Livingstone and the
body whs tenderly laid to rent beside
the grave of her husband, who pre
ceded her years ago,
Mrs. Conner died at the tSt. Vin
cent's hospital in Tort land on Sat
urday, May 'A, after an illness of sev
eral months and during which she
wa? caused intense suffering. Since
the death of her husband. George
Conser, which occurred in this city
sixteen years ago, Mrs. Conser had
made her home in Portland, but she
was raised in this county and, spent
the greater portion of her life here.
She is survived by her father, C. A.
Rhea, of Stanfield, and the following
brothers and sister: Mrs. Wilson E.
Brock of Pendleton, Mrs. Josephine
Jones of Heppner. Waldron Rhea of
Redmond, Curtis Rhea of Echo and
Carl Rhea of Portland.
SMOKER AT LEXINGTON.
The boys of the Lexington high
school have staged a smokeless smok
er at the gym in that city for Satur
day night, May 10th. This event
promises to be one of the very best
yet given and there will be a number
of very hotly contested bouts staged
events that will be record breakers,
and the proceeds of the smoker all
go into the gym building fund. Prices
of admission are grade pupils 2"c,
high school pupils 60c, others 75c.
Johnnie McEntire of Skinner creek
is confined to the hospital in this
city, having suffered a liht stroke
of paralysis a few dnys ago. His
physician informs us, however, that
Mr. McEntire is getting along well,
and should be able to return home
before mnny dny.

Faults of County Unit
Cited by Mr. Cherrick
Rock Creek, Ore., May 6, 1924.
Dear Editor:
To my mind one of the most vicious
educational laws put over In the
name of progress is the County Unit
system, because:
It takes away from the common
peop'e their direct control of educa
tional affairs. It places the schools
in the hands of a Bmall clique of
five men making it easier for the
educational machine and would-be
higher-ups in education to thorough
ly dominate the schools of the county
or state Simply because five men
are easier to control than are a
hundred boards.
Where are you to get five compe
tent men, who have the time and will
devote it fairly and impartially to the
entire county, without pay? With
our local boards that is possible, as
each community or local school dis
trict has its local pride; and usually
finds men who are glad to work for
their home school. With a board of
five, we likely have about five favor
ite schools getting more than their
share and the smaller boards getting
left. In this county we have a sam
ple of a small board as the county
commissioners are putting the entire
county in one road district so that
they can divert (legally) practically
all money on one short stretch of
16 miles of road. The voters are
practically powerless to prevent such
action.
The power of the five is too great.
Read the law. Practically no limita
tions to their power. True" they have
to have their budget approved, but
that is an easy proposition, if they
are good enough politicians to get
the job. No limitations on the sal
aries they may pay their superintend
ent, or other employees or the num
ber they may employ.
Your local committee isn t even an
attractive ornament to have around.
They have no POWER. They may
prevent the hiring of a certain teach
er, if they unanimously vote against
her and state reason 30 days prior to
opening of school. Hut if your board
of five wishes to punish a district,
all they have to do is to not appoint
a teacher until 29 days before school
opens. Under present conditions,
with Klansmen, Minutemen, and
what-nots, if a board have a majority
of either, the other side will receive.
likely, continual punishment. Or if
the board happen to be red headed,
they will employ all red headed
teachers or something equally as
foolish.
I have taken the matter up with
authorities in New York state. The
tate commission appointed to inves
tigate it, have reported against the
Unit plan. They have tried it. The
farmers and small town folks do not
like it. Must Oregon go through with
the same experience, or can't we
learn from others?
I visited Klamath county Inst sum
mer. Most of my interviews indicated
thnt it has led to a grand scrap and 1
bitter feelings. And worse than that,
hey have neglected the smaller
schools and played favorites. In
Crook county where it was first voted
in, the county superintendent got
busy nt once and pninted alt schools
alike, oiled floors, etc., whether they
needed it or not. Then being a good
advertiser he.rushcd into print to tell
what he hnd done. Probably some
needed paint and possibly they will
bring up the standard of some
schools, hut they will do greater In
jury to the majority by destroying
all local pride and interest in their
schools.
Let's go slow and wait a few years
until the counties already with the
system have tried it out thoroughly.
Remember there is no law provided
whereby wo may EVER change back
if we do not like it.
Very respectfully,
R. E. CHERRICK

LOCAL ENS ITEMS
C. L. Keithly, of the real estate
firm of Wells and Keithly of Pendle
ton, spent a day or two in this county
on business this week. Mr. Keithly
was pretty much over the wheat belt
of the south part of the county, and
states that while rain is needed, the
grain is not suffering, has good color
and is developing well. He reports
that much damage has been done to
crops in portions of Umatilla county
owing to lack of rain, and doubts if
a rain coming now will be of much
help to the farmers on the lighter
lands,
A hearing involving a quarter sec
tion of land claimed by Neal Doherty
of Juniper canyon, was had before
Clerk Anderson at the court house
on Wednesday. A, M. Edwards had
filed a contest against the claim and
he was represented by Judge H, P.
Perkins of Spokane. Calvin L. Sweek
appeared as attorney for Mr. Doherty.
A number of witnesses were heard
and considerable testimony tran
scribed to be presented to the land
office authorities who will pass upon
the case in due course of time.
N. A. Leach, vice president of Kerr,
Gifford & Co., of Portland, accom
panied by Mrs. Leach and other mem
bers of the family, drove up from
Portland Friday last for a visit with
re'ativea at Lexington. He was in
Heppner for a short time on Satur
day. Mr. Leach, who was formerly
in business at Lexington, has been
with the Kerr-Cifford company for
many years, starting as a wheat buy
er for them in this county and work
ing up until he now is a leading mem
ber of the firm.
Howard Anderson of Eight Mile
was doing business in this city on
Tuesday. Mr. Anderson, one of the
directors of the Oregon Grain Grow
ers association, returned from a
meeting of the association in Port
land on Saturday. He is not dis
couraged over the crop outlook in
his section, but will welcome rain
any time, as it can do no harm.
Warmer weather than has prevailed
for the past three weeks would be
welcome also, according to Mr. An
derson. Arch Barnard was in town this
forenoon closing up a deal with Louie
Frederickson of Lexington garage to
take over a three-year lease on the
filling station of Mr. Barnard in that
city. The deal is expected to bV clos
ed on Monday next when Mr. Fred
erickson will take charge of the sta
tion. Mr. and Mrs. Barnard con
template going to southern Oregon
where it is hoped that the change
will prove beneficial to the health of
Mrs. Barnard.
Mr. and Mrs. Jake Young arrived on
Wednesday from Aloah, Oregon, and
today went on out to the Eight Mile
farm of Mr. Young where they will
make their home. They shipped their
household goods, cow and chickens
from the Valley and Mr. Young ex
pects to become a full-fledged farmer
of this county again, a Eanie that he
followed here for nigh on forty years.
but from which he retired several
years ago.
Charley Cox, Earl and Len Gilliam
and Ed Bennett, all disciples of
Iaaak Walton, made a hurry up trip
to East lnke over in the Bend coun
try the past week. They left Hepp
ner on Friday, got their limit of line
eastern brook trout on Saturday and
returned home on Sunday. They
found the fishing in East lake very
fine and are anxious to make another
trip over that way before the season
closes.
Leonard Barr has been confined nt
home during the most of this week,
suffering from an attack of the gen
ernl indisposition that has struck
so many of the people of the com
munity the past two or three weeks.
Serious colds, flu, measles and other
minor complaints have affected a
large per cent of the children and
grown ups.
Dr. McMurdo reports that Mrs. Guy
Beyer, who has been quite ill at her

anger
to Livestock Industry
In a communication to Mac Hoke,
secretary, Fred W. Falconer, pres
ident of the Oregon Wool Growers
association, writing from the infected
area in California, where he is with
the Oregon commission investigating
the foot and mouth disease, sends
a word of warning to employers of
labor on sheep and cattle ranches,
also general farm labor, on account
of the grave danger of importing the
germs of the disease from the per
pons or garments of said laborers.
Investigations so far made by Mr.
Falconer have convinced him that
the most danger to Oregon livestock
comes from employing herders,
shearers and laborers from Calif
ornia, who do not furnish health cer
tificates, and complete evidence that
they have come from a region not
j n f pjtf jfc and that they and their gar
ments have been thoroughly cleans
ed of all danger from the germs.
Travellers who come by automo
bile from California report having
been disinfected as many as twenty
times enroute, but passengers on
trains reach Oregon without being
disinfected as many times as this.
The embargo signed by Governor
Pierce, on April 15, 1924, provides
as follows in reference to farm la
borers, and farm and ranch help in
general coming from the State of Cal
ifornia into the State of Oregon:
"All sheep shearers, farm labor
ers, dairy laborers, farm and ranch
and stock-yard help in general corn
in; from the State of California into
the State of Oregon, unless able to
furnish affidavit evidence that they
have not been in any district infected
with foot and mouth disease, shatt
be required to either discard, wash
in boiling water, or subject all of
their clothing to a four (4) parts of
40 per cent formalin solution bath
(U. S. P.) to each one hundred (100)
parts of water and their shoes and
shearing equipment to official disin
fection. Certificates of disinfection
shall be required of all farm laborers
coming from California."

To the Taxpayers and Residents
of Morrow County:
Next week, May 16, you will be vot
ing. The County Unit Plan of Ad
ministration and Taxation will be one
of the measures which will need your
careful consideration, and since I
promised to write an article upon this .
subject I am submitting this for your
perusal.
Much has been written and said
against the measure, and since there
are always two sides to every ques
tion I wish to express my reasons for
favoring the measure.
I am and have been for a long time
a firm believer in the County Unit
Plan. I have been confirmed in my
belief by my experience in both types
of school, rural and city. It aims
to produce conditions under which a
strong teacher can be placed in the
smallest and most remotely located of
schools.
One of the crying injustices of our
present educational system is the dis
crimination against the small school
district with the low valuation. Why
should people who have the hardihood
to open up the country and develop
its resources be penalized with poor
and inadequate school facilities. This
can only be remedied when the entire
county pays an equal tax for school
purposes.
The slogan of "Equal Educational
Opportunities for All," can never be
realized until some larger unit is ad
opted and a plan of administration
adopted that will place the rural
schools under as close supervision as
the city or even the small town
schools.
Local boards are usually composed
of men who are too busy to give
proper care to the management and
care of their schools but when they
can confer with the central board
who have an opportunity to do big
things in a bigger way, they will have
a keener interest and will see to it
that their school is as good as any
in the county.
The greater expense can be taken
care of by eliminating the following
items of expense which are being
paid under our present system:
Clerks salaries which now amount to
about $1200 per year not counting
the clerks in our seven high school
districts.
Clerks' bonds, other than High
School $ 500
Audit of clerks' books each
year . 300
County Supt. salary 1600
Tax on unorganized territory at
3 mills, more than - 2000
Making a total of 5400
Let me sum up the advantages of
the County Unit System:
First It equalizes taxes.
Second Closer and more efficient
supervision.
Third More equal opportunities
and equal advantages.
Fourth The school plant can be
placed and maintained on a cash
basis.
FifthIt provtles school facilities
to the children who live in isolated
places and unorganized territory.
Sixth It places the state office in
closer contact with every school in
the county.
Seventh School maintenance will
gradually reduce thereby lessening
taxes.
In a few words it is more efficient,
more business-like administration,
equalized taxation, and economy, be
cause the schools can be run on a
cash basis and supplies can be pur
chased at a great'discount.
Now let me say that as the head of
the Morrow county schools I felt it
my duty to place this system on the
ballot. If it should pass, the office
of County School Superintendent will
be aboUibed. For this reason I did
not announce myself a candidate for
County School Superintendent. If it
should carry, and I was elected by
the people of the county to continue
in my present position, the County
Eoaid might feel duty bound to hire
me for the new position of Superin
tendent of the County District, a con
dition I did not wish to create. The
office should not be a political one.
By petition my name could be placed
on the ballot in November.
Thanking the people of Morrow
county for their kindness to me, and
their loyal support during my term
in office and feeling assured of their
continued good will and courtesy, I
am
Very truly yours,
LENA SNELL SHURTE,
County Superintendent.

Ixtcal Organiutioa Joins Similar
Groups Over Country to Provide
Gift to Alma Mater.
Eugene, Oregon, May 6. (Special.)
Heppner alumni of the University
of Oregon have begun work on their
campaign to raise a large share of
the million dollar alumni fund which
will be used to erect new buildings.
Calvin L. Sweek, '12, of Heppner, fs
local chairman of the campaign which
will be completed May 80.
University of Oregon alumni all
over the nation are organizing for
this work which Is a part of the Uni
versity's $5,000,000 Gift Campaign
which is to finance Its five year build
ing program. Students on the cam
pus have raised $219,000 to build the
Student Union and the people of the
city of Eugene have promised to is
sue bonds to raise $500,000 for the
University's auditorium. The alumni's
share will be used for a library, a
men's gymnasium and a war memor
ial court in honor of the University
of Oregon men who died in the World
war.
The Gift Campaign has been organ
ized because increased enrollment
has made it necessary to use most of
the University's income for instruc
tion, leaving small margin for build
ings. The University is determined
not to "wholesale" education and to
keep its standards high despite in
creasing numbers. And it looks to
its alumni throughout the country
and the friends of higher education
in Oregon to supply the funds to
care for its immediate building needs.
This is not a new departure for
State Universities; many of them
have found it impossible to adequate
ly finance rapidly growing work from
state appropriations alone. State uni
versities have received over fifty mil
lion dollars in private gifts, the Uni
versity of California alone receiving
more than $13,000,000.
Voter Cannot Change
His Registration Now
The question has been raised as to
whether a legal voter who is not
registered' may register on election
day and vote. The last legislature
amended the primary election law so
as to provide that no registered voter
may change his party designation
within thirty days of the primary
election. No voter has the right to
re-register on election day for the
purpose of changing from one party
to another. But an unregistered
voter may register by signing the
proper oath on the card furnished
for that purpose and have two wit
nesses make the necessary affidavit
just as heretofore.
Another question has been asked.
Can voters who are not entitled to j
take part in the primary election vote
on the county unit measure? Only
voters registered as republicans or
democrats may vote in the primary
election, but the members of other
parties and voters registered as in
dependent or without party affiliation
may vote the special election ticket
on the county unit proposition. In
short, any person who might vote
at the general election may vote on
the county unit proposition. So, if
you are registered as a prohibitionist
a socialist, a progressive, or of no
party affiliation, you may and should
vote on the county unit measure, as
also should all democrats and repub
licans. S. E. NOTSON, District Attorney.

LINE-UP IS CHANGED
Van Harter and Aiken Quit tod
Con Ip y Leaves, Causing Gen
eral Khakt-op.
Ball fans attending the Heppner-
Condon clash on Gontry field Sunday
afternoon were treated to every brand
of weather from April showers and
July dust storms to mid-December
blizzards, with a good exhibitm of
ball to keep them in good humor.
Condon again hung the crepe on our
door with the score sheet showing
4-2.
A ninth-inning rally kept the locals
from being shut out when Ander
son and Drake crossed home plate
for two markers. Heppner errors
were responsible for two scores by
Condon, while they made two earned
runs.
Fred Roberts' mound work was the
means of holding Condon down. He
struck out 16 batters in all, tighten
ing down in several pinches and fan
ning many of the opponents' "heavy
stickers." Clow, pitching for Con
don, struck out but three men.
Gay Anderson, center fielder for
the locals, had high batting honors
with two double-sackers. Roberts
made the longest bingle of the day,
a three-base blow, but was called
out because of missing second base.
The pretty fielding, batting and
base running of Hill, Condon's new
short stop, was a feature of Sunday's
play. Bert Johnson, of lone, re fe reed
the game satisfactorily to all.
Two old heads on the Heppner
line-up, "Spec" Aiken and "Red" Van
Marter, dropped off the team this
week, and Jim Conley, shortstop, left
for Arlington. This has caused
a general shake-up of players, and
Heppner will put a much-changed
team on the diamond against Arling
ton here Sunday.
The probable substitutes for these
positions will be Francis Doherty,
first baseman for the high school, on
first; B. R. Finch, eighth grade prin
cipal, on third, and Ralph Moore,
who has been playing second, on
short. Paul Aiken will probably re
place Moore at second. This makes
a completely new infield with the ex
ception of the battery.
