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.

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.

lis. They will remain for some time.

vices. Rev. Swogger was elected as

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.
