continuance of his studies at the

the local Christian Church since
early last spring. Following an
Eastor meeting he was called for

succeed Mr. Mortimore but plans

date.

the reception Tuesday night,

ported as a little -better.

MEETING
Extension Of Road' System
Fully Discussed
Heppner Commercial Cub
comes to life with a well attended
meeting and much valuable in
formation regarding the road
problem was learned. Judze
Wm. Duby, of Baker, Chairman
of the State Highway Com'mi
sion and Divisional Engineer
BaldocK were present and gave
some facta and figures and it is
very plain that it is up to Mor
row County to get busy if we are
to get state aid on our part of
the Oregon-Washington high
way. Umatilla County baa
promised to finance the Uma
tilla County part of the road,
whenever we are ready. It will
cost about $165,000 to complete .
the Morrow County share one
half of which would be paid by
the State. Judge Duby is not
an orator, but expresses him
self in a very plain and business
like manner and made it under
stood that he was talking as an
individual road lover and not
committing the Stat Commi6
s.on by his talk, and it is appar-
entthat if Morrow County makes
the proper showing that we
might not be called upon for our
full one-half of the cost
Records kept last year showed
a peak travel of 800 cars per
day, over the Columbia highway,
at Heppner Junction, or an in
crease of over 20 percent over
the previous year. The same
record showed a decrease of 4
