PAGE TWO HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, APRIL 15, 1926. ........ BOARDMAN - .. . MRS. A. T. RBKEIM. Correspondent. Mrsi. Clyde Carr was called to Mabton, Wash., the fore part of last week because of the illness of her mother, who underwent a serious op eration. The Auxiliary play which was to have been held April 24 had to be postponed as Mrs. Carr had a prominent part in the east. Ladies Aid met Wednesday in the church. This was the time for the annual election of officers and all the former officers were reelected. Mrs. Jess Allen is now serving her third consecutive year as president, Mrs. A. T. Hereim, vice-president and Mrs. J. R. Johnson, secretary-treasure were the other officers elected. The election was held Saturday at the schoolhouse to decide the vital problem of irrigation for this district. It was voted by a large majority to accept the new government contract. By doing this the water users are offered relief from the excessive wa ter charges of the past and the per iod of time extended in which water payments must be made. It is hoped that Dan Ransier will be retained as ditch rider under the new contract as we know of no one better qualified to handle this difficult position than he. Mr. Ransier has been in charge of the ditches for the past several years and he is absolutely fair and shows no favoritism. Fifty-four votes were cast m favor of the new contract and four opposed. T. E. Broyles, C. H. Dillabaugh and C. S. Calkins were members of the election board. Sybil Grace Macomber was eleven years old Friday, April 9 and enter tained her teacher, Miss Officer, at dinner that evening to celebrate the occasion. J. C. Ballenger and family motored to Tillamook last week on business. A mass meeting was held in town last Thursday evening when nomina tions were made for the various city "officers for the ensuing year. Election is held at the same time as the pri maries. J. C. Ballenger and C. G. Blayden were nominated for mayor, the former being the present incum bent and the latter was Boardman's first mayor. Mrs. F. F. Klitz, who has been the able city recorder since the incorporation of the town, was nom inated for the position again. Mrs. J. F. Gorham was the other nominee. For councilmen the following names v.'ere posted: Robt. Rayburn, J. F. Gorham, N. A. Macomber, L. V. Root, f . F. Klitz, A. B. Chaffee, Frank Cra mer, W. A. Goodwin. At this time A. B. Chaffee was elected city marshal and was given manifold duties. He will have charge of the city pumping riant, the city electric plant, and the irrigation water in addition to his duties as marshal which hereto fore have been few as we are a pretty decent, law abiding community at least up to the average. Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Cumins who have been Boardman residents since the early days left on Thursday for Nolin where they visited relatives for a few days and thence on to New port, Ore. and other points. They have rented their ranch on the west end. The Cumins have endured all the vicissitudes of farming in a new country, coming here in the days of sage brush and jack rabbits and wresting their ranch from virgin des ert. They have many friends here who regret their departure. Mr. and Mrs. Tom Fisher of Her miston were dinner guests at the 0. H. Warner home Saturday. F. B. House of Bridal Veil was in Boardman Sunday, looking over the Latourell garage with a view of locat ing. Mr. House is a pleasant young man and if he gives good service and is reasonable in his charges should build up a splendid business. There is a great deal of local trade on the project and with the tourist traffic there should be abundant business to justify a good mechanic. Mr. House has a wife and baby who will come to Boardman if they decide to locate here. Mrs. Guy Barlow had a very ser ious operation on Monday of last week at the Hamilton hospital in The Dalles. She is getting along fairly well and friends hope for a rapid recovery. The Barlows seem to be having more than their share of grief at the present time as Guy just re covered from a serious attack of mumps at which time he was so ill his life was almost despaired of. Mrs. Esther Theinis and two chil dren of Walterville arrived Thursday for an indefinite stay with her par ents, Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Chaffee. Mrs. Theinis lost her husband tragically recently when he was killed by the accidental discharge of a shot gun. Since Washington State College at Pullman offers to send trees from their experiment station to residents of the state, Mrs. H. H. Weston won ders if 0. A. C. would not do the same thing for the arid sections of Oregon. She wrote them regarding the matter, and the reply stated that trees would be furnished Ore gon residents if they would pay the cost of propagation, which is a very small sum, amounting to about 5c per tree. These could be furnished this fall and the following varieties will be available: Russian Mulberry, Boxelder, Black Locust and Black Walnut. Eck Warren and Glenn Hadley came borne for a few days visit with their families over the week-end. They have been shearing in Wash ington for several weeks. A number of the ranchers are building brooder houses in prepara tion for an influx of baby chix. J. R. Johnson has one almost completed. Dillon has built two, and Westons one. Mr. and Mrs. Brice Dillabaugh and baby were Hermiston visitors Mon day, having some dental work done. Mike Mulligan went to Willow creek to see about his sheep. Shear ers have been at McNamees the past few days and have finished at Kun zies. Leslie Packards are having a tele phone installed this week. Boardman played in hard luck on Sunday when they crossed bats with Umatilla. The old hoodoo of last year seems to be hovering around us again. After winning the two pre season games with Heppner the Boardman boys went down to defeat to the tune of 8 to 3 at Umatilla. Better luck next time. Mrs. Eugene Cumins presented the Boardman church with some beautiful flowers on Sunday, which were used on the table below the pulpit. A re quest that the audience sing "Blest Be the Tie That Binds" came with the flowers. A Mr. Goodwin' of Yakima arrived Sunday and has rented the Boardman garage from E. Peck for a period of seven months. This will be com pletely equipped with all modern tools for repair work and good ser vice may be expected. Mr. and Mrs. Earl Cramer came up from Portland last week and will remain for some time. Mrs. Cramer is convalescing from a recent nerv ous breakdown. Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Paine and son Eldon of Portland visited at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. G. Blayden, de parting Sunday. The Paines were former Boardman residents, Mrs. Paine having been Boardman's first postmistress. They have a laundry in Portland at present. Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Calkins and son of Spokane were guests Saturday at the home of the former's parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Calkins. On Sun day they left by motor for a short trip to California, leaving their son here with his grandparents until their return. Mr. Calkins was formerly county agent at Heppner and has many friends in this sectio'h. Alfred Skoubo had his arm pretty badly hurt Sunday while cranking his Jitney. He was taken to Hermiston at once for medical attention. Supt. C. M. Beardsley returned on Saturday from Spokane where he at tended the Inland Empire Teachers' association meeting on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. On Sunday at the morning services three children were baptized by Rev. Swogger. They were Robert William King, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. 0. King, Stanton Van Clove, son of Mr. and Mrs. Glen Hadley, and Anne Eliza beth Kristensen, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Nels Kristensen.

Peoples Hardware Co. 3 school superintendent and J. R. John son relected church treasurer. The following trustees were elected for the ensuing year: Mesdames Warner, AUen, Boardman, Mr. J. R. Johnson and Mr. C. S. Calkins. Church finan ces were in the usual condition, sim 'ar to that of thousands of small, struggling churches, always in reed of money. Reports from the Sunday school, church, Ladies Aid and young peoples association were read and approved. As is usual the Ladies Aid proved to be the most flourishing or ganization from a financial standpoint. A trip to Blalock Island Sunday brought forth some surprises. Not having been there for some time we were astonished at the amount of work done. About 500 acres have been levelled and seeded to rye, hun dreds and hundreds of feet of flum ing built, houses pointed and re paired, and most important of all, and the point on which we have al ways been skeptical, was the results proven by the operation of the pumps. This is to be a pumping plant with water pumped from the old Columbia. A triple Diesel engine has been in stalled, the engine and equipment for lifting the water representing a cost of $7,500, and there seems to be no doubt but what sufficient water can be raised to supply the land. The pump has a capacity of bringing up 7300 gallons of water per minute and at this rate there will be more than enough water. When water was turn ed into the flumes it was almost more than the men could handle and noth ing like the amount that could be used was turned in. Nevertheless we would rather live on the mainland, thanks. THE FLASHLIGHT Published Weekly by Hardman Union High School.
