Another death which brought sor
row to the community was that of
Richard Root who passed away Sun
day morning at 4:30 at St. Anthony's
hospital after a lingering illness.
Richard's 10th birthday was Tuesday,
Feb. 22, and he died just two days be
fore. The early part of December,
Richard was taken suddenly ill. The
doctor pronounced it appendicitis and
an operation was performed at once.
Heart trouble developed and he lin
gered on for weeks. His mother was
with him constantly and everything
that medical science and good cara
could do was done but to no avail. A
year or so before Richard had a very
serious operation for mastoid. He is
the son of Mr. and Mrs. Leo V. Root
who have been residents of Boardman
since its inception. Mrs. Root is 'he
postmistress here, the second Board
man has had, Richard's parents, one
brother, Vernon, his grandparents,
Mr. and Mrs. W. H. MelTord, and a
number of uncles and aunts are left
to mourn his departure. Geo. Mef
ford and wife of Portland came up
to Pendleton on Saturday night and
were with the bereaved parents. They
remained until after funeral services
which were held Wednesday at the
church, in charge of Rev. Swogger.
The community extends the deepest
sympathy to the family. This is the
third death in the fumily within the
past year. Grandma Knowlton passed
away last summer and Mrs. Ellis Gur
rett, their beloved Aunt Ida, died the
early part of this month.
Rev. and Mrs. J. F. Gibson of Stan

Flickinger home last Thursday. Rev.

ways glad to see him and his estima
ble wife.

family.
Mrs. A. A. Marlow of Pendleton is
visiting at the D. F. Ransier home.
March 11 has been set as the date j
for the next Ladies Aid Social. These;
paries have proven very popular and
have given a pleasant evening's di
version to those who attend. It is
hoped that a great many of the young
ei set will attend this party.
Aid was entertained on Wednesday

and Mrs. A. T. Hereim at the Calkins
home. 2B were present. Routine
business was transacted and plans
made for the next Aid social.
Mr. and Mrs. Dan Ransier were
called to Pendleton last week to at

nephew of the Ransiers, is a visitor
at the Ransier home.
Mr. and Mrs. Jason Biddle were
Rhea creek folks visiting in the city
on Friday. Everything is looking
good in their vicinity and the crops
are coming along well.
finishing his fourteenth term in the
House. They are chairmen respec
tively of the Senate Committee on Ag
riculture and Forestry, and the House
Committee on Agriculture.
Both are progressives but neither
McNary nor Haugen have leaned so
far, even on Farm Relief, that they
can be placed in the radical group.
Mr. McNary has an ability that seems
to make it possible for him to have
more influence among the conserva
tives than Borah, Norriu or Brook
hart of the left wing or Capper, Hi
ram Johnson and Gooding of the right
wing.
Observed on the floor of the Sen
ate and in action, Senator McNary
telies his 53 yearsr He looks at least
ten years younger; blond, slender and
dapper; an effective speaker, but not
the least bit oratorical. He can hold
his own without fights or personal
exchanges that usually leave scars.
Haugen in the House is the rug
ged old warrior type. Hia shaggy
silver locks and rough hewn coun
tenance attract the visitor's eye. A
massive head tops broad, though
stooped Bhoulders. Except in matters
concerning farm relief, he has be
come more and more. conservative in
his political theories through his
t.vcnty-eight years in Congress. Last
year he supported the late Albert B.
Cummings against Brookhart, and as
a result, came near losing his own
scat.
Senator McNary right new is hav
ing his name sounded in high places.
This legislation is stirring things up
and one does not have to be around
very long to hear gossip which links
the Coolidge and McNary names as a
possible 1928 G. O. P. ticket. It might
come to pass, if the McNary-Haugen
bill ia vetoed and fails for a two
third vote to put it over that veto.
Right now the McNary-Haugen
team rules supreme in the farm bloc
circles. At this writing it must be
admitted they are away out in front
of the Curtis-Atwell combination for
popular favor with the farmers of the
land.
ALPINE.
Mr. and Mrs. McDaniel, Miss Hays
and Murrell Bennett were visitors
in Hardman last week-end.
A fine time was reported by the
A. pine young folks who attended the
surprise dance at Henry Rouches Fri
day night, alhtough they didn't suc
ceed in surprising Mr. Rousch.
Twila Morey spent the week-end
with her parents at Freewater.
Mrs. G. L. Bennett, Mrs. Chas.
Schmidt, Mrs. Dan Lindsay and G ro
ver Sibley were the Alpine people
who attended the rally at Heppner
Monday.
Spring work has started up in this
community. Some of the farmers are
seeding and others are plowing.
The high school students are work
ing on a three-act comedy-drama,
"A Southern Cinderella" to be given
March 12. All the pupils are inter
erted in the play and it promises
to be a good one in which you will
be interested, too. Remember March
12.
District Attorney Notson returned
home on Friday night from Portland
where he spent several days the past
week in attending to matters pertain
ing to his office.
Victor Peterson, business man of
loi e, was a visitor in this city on
Saturday.

"McNary and Haugen" to city folks
might sound like the name of a vau
deville team but to farmers of these
United States it means pay day.
Again, "McNary and Haugen," the
names that are on - everyone's Jips.
Who are they what are they where
from what for and how come?
Washington knows. Washington
has come to respect the names and
the men. For five years, ever since
the postwar deflation period, they
hsve ruled the legislative boards; re
fusing to give up the limelight; in
all authors of four bills; differing
somewhat in details, but looking to
the same end, relief for the farmer.
One year ago McNnry and Haugen
took a good healthy bust in the zee
ler and went down to defeat but
here they are again with virtually the
same bill virtually accepted by both
House and Senate and up to the
President for his veto, which is be
ing freely predicted in all quarters.
Nevertheless, who knows? Maybe the
lineup in both House and Senate has
been so arranged by fate, or circum
stances, that McNarv and Haugen will
enrry through a passage of hteir bill
over the Coolidge veto if such it re
ceives.
I he reader no doubt is acquainted
with the present bill, which, if it be
comes a law, will create a federal
Farm Board with a revolving fund of
$250,000,000 from the U. S. Treasury
to control and stabilize agricultural
nriees. even to the extent of buying
up surplus crops and marketing tl.em
in foreign markets at the best possl
bit price.
So much for the bill.

Senator Chas. L. McNary, Oregon, and Representative Gilbert N.
Haugen, Iowa, have been joint authors of four different bills since post
war deflation, all of which have aimed at relief of agriculture. Their
present bill is the most important legislation of this session, having
been Jockeyed from defeat last year to passage by House and Senate
and now up to the President. McNary and Haugen have been stars on
the legislative stngo for five years and atill going strong, Washington
admits.
