Market Roads Would Receive Prac
tically All of Money If Present
Plana Art Carried Oat
That the people of tho county will
favor the carrying out of the program
of tha county court with reference to
roads even to the endorsing of another
bond Isiue, seems apparent from the
results of the meeting held at the
court house on Saturday afternoon,
and attended by representative men
from nearly every section. Some
twenty-five or thirty were present,
and there was a free expression of
opinion, about two hours being de
voted to a discussion of the situa
tion. Pressure has been brought to bear
upon the county court for the past
year, urging that body to devise some
means whereby the unfinished por
tion of the Oregon-Washington high
way In this and Umatilla counties
might be completed. Umatilla is
ready to do her part of the work, the
state highway commission will go
more than half way in cooperation, if
we have the right understanding of
their position, but Morrow county is
unable to get anywhere on the job
because of no funds; our county can
not compete in this matter with other
portions of the state having similar
aituations and the money to place on
the table. However, while consider
ing the question, and taking into ac
count the fact that other roads of
the county are also of vast import
ance to the farming communities,
and that the market road program
should also be extended, the question
has arisen concerning the financing of
the entire program, and it was for
this reason that the meeting was
called on Saturday, It being the de
sire to take such steps aa would bring
the matter squarely before the county
court, and if it were found advisable
to put a bond issue up to the people,
to get started as soon as possible.
The meeting wss called to order at
8 p. m., Saturday, by Commissioner
Bleakman. W. P. Mahoney was
chosen permanent chairman and C. L.
Sweek, secretary. The chair called
upon Mr. Bleakman to state the ob
ject of the meeting, which he did, and
stating further the position of the
court in reference to the completion
of certain roads, he presented a ten
tative program, worked out by Judge
Ilenge, based upon the Issuance of
bonds to the ampunt of $560,000, to
which would be added this year's mar
ket road money, estimated at $30,000,
makirfg a total of $580,000 and dis
tributed as follows:
Boardman, south 25 miles', to con
nect with O.-W. highway at or near
Jordan warehouse, or with the Lex
ington market road as may be here
after decided, $80,000.
Lexington-Jarmon market road, 12

The chairman of the meeting called
upon alt preaent to state their views
regarding the proposition, and the
program waa freely discussed, the
general opinion being that the distri
bution as offered was quite fair and
equitable to all portions of the coun
ty. As to the bond Issue, this also
received attention at length, every
phase of the subject being well gone
over, resulting in a complete under
standing being reached, so that, when
the question of adopting the program
and endorsing a bond issue was pre
sented, it waa carried by a unanimous
vote.
The committee heretofore appoint
ed by the Heppner Commercial club
to act in conjunction with the county
court in road matters, was continued
and instructed to prepare the peti
tions and take all steps necessary to
present the question to the county
court that the bond election might
be speedily authorized. This com
mittee consists of Frank Gilliam, W.
P. Mahoney and C. L. Sweck.
It was shown at this meeting that
the ultimate adoption of a bond issue
would immediately release funds to
the amount of $60,000 now in the
hands 'of the county treasurer as a
portion of the sinking fund. These
funds are becoming a burden to the
county for the reason that the banks
do not feel justified in going to the
expense necessary in procuring col
lateral security for handling them
and also pay the rate of interest the
state demands. This raises the ques
tion of what is to be done, and by
having the bonds to back the sinking
fund, to be disposed of when that
fund is needed, this money can be of
fered to the state for cooperation in
the completion of the O.-W. highway
gap, and that work can be gotten un
der way early this fall. The plan then
is to sell the bonds of the county
only as they shall be needed in the
progress of the road building pro
gram and keeping the interest ac
count down to the minimum.
Much of the discussion at this
meeting was quite interesting. While
it was freely admitted that the pres
ent situation of the farmers and oth
er taxpayers of the county is such
that they do not look with much fa
vor on any proposition that might
carry additional tax burdens, yet it
was shown that In tha long run good
roads are a valuable investment, and
their cost is really saved to the far
mer by the Increased ease and les
sened expense of getting his produce
.to market. Large savings in haulage
is made. Charley Bartholomew gave
his experience along this line, stating
that before the completion of the
Echo-Butter creek market road, and
during a part of the war period, he
was called on to pay 40 cents per sack
to get his wheat from the ranch into
Echo; the man who had this contract
during the few years that he operat
ed, went flat broke and moved out the
country owing everybody that he
could. The completion of the market
road changed this. He now gets his
grain to Echo for 12H cents per sack,
and the truckman makes money.
Times have changed somewhat since
the war, to be sure, but the big sav
ing is in the good road to market.
Thia waa one point touched upon and

One short gap remains In the tourist

time, providing the bond issue pre

market roads, and the program as
outlined here and endorsed by the
meeting Saturday, will bring those In

sure, but it starts the program on a
basis that guarantees the completion
of these various roads before many

the real development of the county
will be promoted. Give the farmer

WANTS SERVICES
OF RAIN MAKER
IN THIS COUNTY
Mr. Swaggart Will Back Proposi
tion For Contract For Two
Inches of Rain Here.
Lexington, Oregon, May 25. To the
Editor: I am interested very much in
the probable outcome for the farmer
this season as to hia crops. He is
facing a very serious situation and
should there be a lack of aufficient
rainfall many a man is facing bank
ruptcy and will have to retire from
the wheat raising game in Morrow
county. His recent experience in
having his grain frozen out and the
consequent heavy expenditure for re-
seedmg, has crippled the farmer, and
the majority are in jeopardy of los
ing their all if this season's crop is
a failure.
I therefore wish to offer a sugges
tion for consideration. Get a com
mittee together to take up the mat
ter with Rainmaker Hatfield and con
tract with him to produce for this
section at least 2 inches of rainfall
in May or early part of June. To get
this matter started, I will subscribe
five hundred dollars to apply on such
contract. I do this to show my
faith in the proposition.
As stated above, the situation we
are now facing is very grave, and our
people should be doing something to
insure the production of a crop this
season as they have never faced such
a condition before.
B. F. SWAGGART.
Large Numbers Take
Advantage of Rebate
The sheriff's office reports that
quite a number of the delinquent tax
payers were able to take advantage of
the law rebating penalty and interest
and coats on taxes due for the years
1921-22-23, yet by far the greater
number could not get around to at
tend to the matter, as the time limit
was too short.
In the opinion of some of the legal
lights, there is authority for extend
ing the time till November 6. If
thia can be done, it should be. At
that time the majority of those for
whose benefit the law was enacted
will be in position to get together the
money for these delinquent taxes and
take advantage of the Baving offered;
as it stands now. they were denied
that privilege. It within the bounds
of the law, why not make this exten
sion and get the bulk of these back
taxes cleaned up.

DEATH CLAIMS
ANOTHER EARLY
SETTLER HERE
Melvina Jane Clark, Native of
Oregon, Lived in Morrow
County Many Years.
Death came to Mri. Melvina Jane
Clark on last Friday evening, fol
lowing a prolonged illness, which for
several months had kept her confined
to her bed. That she might receive
better nursing, Mrs. Cark had been
removed from her home west of town
to the Heppner Surgical hospital,
when all waa done for her that was
humanly possible. She passed away
Friday evening at about ten o'clock,
and tha funeral service! were held on
Monday forenoon at the Christian
church, Rev. W. W. Head, pastor of
the Congregational church at lone,
officiating. The floral offerings were
many and beautiful, and attending
the funeral waa a large concourse of
the friends and neighbors, many of
those who had known the deceased
from the time of the early settlement
of th. Heppner country. Interment
was in the family lot at Masonic cem
etery. Mra. Clark was born at Monroe,
Benton county, Oregon, on October
28, 1852, and died at Heppner on May
1, mo, at the age of 73 years. 6
montha and 3 days. She was married
Jn-nc? Ferguson in 1869 and they
came to Morrow county in 1870, tak
ing up as a homestead the place now
owned by F. S. Parker, and for ao
many years known as the Ferguson
place, just beyond the city limits
west of Heppner. Her home waa on
thia place until 1894 when she moved
to the place that was her home until
she died. To Mr. and Mrs. Ferguson
were born four children, Mary, Mnr
Iha, Julia and Emma. Martha and
Emma passed away a number of years
ago.
She was married the second time tc
Hiram E. Clark, December, 1884. Mr.
Clark died about a year ago. Four
children were born to them: Laura,
(Mra. V. L. Hamilton of The Dallea),
Ernest E. and Edward D. of Heppner,
and Iva (Mrs. T. C. Frieberg of Port
land). The surviving children were
all able to be preaent at the funeral.
The passing of Mrs. Clark removes
from our midst another of the very
early settlers in this locality. She
was of sturdy pioneer stock and did
her part well in helping to overcome
the obstaclea encountered in the set
tling of a new country. She was
highly respected in the community
and passes on to a better life aa one
who never failed in doing her full
part in life's work.

Referendum Opposed
By the County Courts
In opposition to the referendum
promoted by the big truck and bus
eoneems relative to Bill No. 413,
which levies a small mileage tax an
these companies, the organization of
county courts of the state have been
asking the people to not sign the ref
erendum petitiona.
Petitions of thia character have
been circulated about Heppner thia
week, and received some signatures.
Whether or not the law would be re
pealed by a vote of the people when
the issue came before them, we are
not prepared to say, but believi that
they would sustain the law aa passed
by the legislature. The required Lum
ber of signatures to get the ques
tion on the ballot, when they are filed
with the secretary of state, will have
the effect that the truck and bus con
cerns wish, and that ia to make the
law inoperative for the next two yea re
and thus save them the tax they
would be required to pay under the
law. Bill No. 413 is a good piece of
legislation, and according to the in
vestigation given the matter by dif
ferent county judges, should be al
lowed to stand. It ia a good idea to
refuse to sign the referendum peti
tions in this particular case.

with the assistance of several others,
have completed a fine tennis court,

$3,000,000 Fund to be Used
For Care of War Wid
ows and Orphans.
COOLIDGE CHAIRMAN
Nation Moat Prominent Citizens
Are Backing Move Started by
the American Legion.
Heppner Post No. 87, American Le
gion, at its meeting Tuesday evening,
endorsed the $5,000,000 Endowment
Fund of that organization unanimous
ly and are behind the move individ
ually and aa a unit. While definite in
formation aa to quota had not yet
been received, the local post expects
to put Heppner over the top within
the first few hours of the drive which
will take place the week ending with
Memorial Day.
The Legion Endowment Fund has
been characterized by President Cool
idge and other national leaders aa
the finest project ever undertaken and
worthy the support of every citizen.
The purpose of the fund ia to take
care of the widows and orphans of
deceased ex-service men, aa well as
the children and wives of those vet
erans who, through service -contracted
- illness, are unable to support
them. It is conservatively estimated
that there are at present 30,000 or
phans of veterans of the world war,
5,000 of whom are dependent upon
charity. Through the use of the in
come from the Endowment Fund,
these dependent orphans will be given
good homes, educational facilities and
everything done to make them self
respecting, self-supporting citizens.
So important and worthy is the pro
ject that President Coolidge has ac
cepted the honorary chairmanship of
the national committee.
In Oregon, R. A. Booth of Eugene,
prominent lumberman and former
member of the state highway com
mission, is chairman of the state
committee. In this state the drive
for the Endowment Fund is linked
with the drive of the Legion for the
maintenance fund for the Doembeck
er hospital for crippled children, the
raising of this fund of $60,000 having
been undertaken by the Oregon Le
gion. Thus two most worthy projects
are being put before the people of
the state and those in charge feel
there will be no trouble in putting
the drive over.
The local chairman and committees
have not yet been chosen, but a spec
ial meeting of the post will bo called
soon for this purpose. Legion mem
bers here are certain that the people
of Heppner and surrounding country
will respond with their customary
generosity when the committees eali
upon them, especially when the pur
pose for which the money is to be
used is taken into consideration.
Memorial Day services this year
will be sponsored by the Legion post
and a committee was appointed Tues
day evening to cooperate with other
organizations of the city in preparing
the program.
