PAGE EIGHT HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, MARCH 31, 1927. S'MATTER POP by c. m. payne A NEXT DAY BETTOR 1 IVl ONUS IP -Clr- f fLfELAD. NOW lVEi ! MRj up the event and be boosters for it. The general opinion is that the an nual affair will help bring the state of Oregon to the front in track activities. "Very fine opportunity for us to assist in building up track in high schools of the state, remarked W. A. Kearns, director of athletics at 0. A. C. 'This is h branch of sport where the benefits to the individual are of such outstanding value that we can not possibly let the interest die." $250 ESSAY CONTEST OPEN TO STUDENTS Concerned over the increase that took place in 1926 compared with 1925 in the number of highway grade cross ing accidents and believing that more care should be exercised by all those crossing railroad tracks, the Ameri can Railway Association today an nounced plans for a nation-wide es say citest among school and college students with three cash prizes of $250 each, to be awarded the authors of essays containing an outstanding, readily available suggestion for pre enting such accident. One prize of $250 will be awarded by the American Railway Association for the best essay by a grammar school student, a similar prize for the best essay by high school student and a like amount for the best essay by a college student. Under the rules prescribed by the .association, the subject of the essay is to be "Cross Crossing Cautiously" and each essay is to be limited to 250 words. The essays must be terse, logical and constructive and must stress the need lor greater rare in approaching t.nd passing over railroad crossings. The essays are to be sent to J. C. Caviston, Secretary of the Safety Section of the American Railway As sociation at 30 Vesey street, New York City, by not later than June 1. Three persons of national reputation to be selected later will act as judges. Under the plan, class teachers in both grammar and high schools will select the best essays from their classes and transmit thein to their princpial who will then select the best one from that school and send it to the superintendent of schools for the county or an equivalent officer. The county superintendent will then se lect the best essay written by a gram mar student and the best one written by a high school student in his coun ty and will transmit them to the Amencan Railway association. Col leges may follow the same procedure except that each college or university, through its proper officer, may select one essay and transmit direct to the association. . In 1926, there were 5,921 highway grade crossing accidents in which 2, 492 persons were killed and 6,991 in jured. In 1925, there were 5,479 ac cidents in which 2,206 persons were killed and 6,555 injured. Owing to the increase that is constantly taking place in the number of automobiles in use, the hazard from such acci dents is annually becoming greater. Only through the co-operation of the j.ublic and the railroads can a reduc tion in such accidents be brought about, in view of the fact that the complete elimination of highway grade crossings is impossible, not on'y because of the time that would be involved but also because of the prohibitive cost which ultimately falls on the public.

Land Settlement Prospect In Eastern Oregon Good Looking forward to more intensive activity in Land Settlement in East ern Oregon, W. G. Ide, manager of the Oregon State Chamber of Com merce, has just completed a trip of ten days throughout the northeast part of the state. At ' La Grande, Mr. Ide addressed the Realty Board and also a regional meeting of the chambers of com merce. He participated also in en thusiastic conferences at Enterprise, Wallowa, Vale, Ontario, Baker and The Dalles, where an enlivened in terest was manifest in land settle ment work for the coming year. The Government has already begun work on the Vale Irrigation project, two large dredges being in operation. The first units are expected to be completed this season. This project is now ready for some new settlers. The Owyhee project was also inspect ed by Mr. Ide in company with W. H. Doohttle of Ontario. The farmers in the districts around Vale and On tario are feeling most optimistic for 1927. Their crop prospects are ex cellent and there is general improve ment throughout the entire district. The cooperative creamery located at Payette, which serves this district, shipped 3,000,000 pounds of butter in 1926, mostly to the Los Angeles mar ket, paying to the producers an av erage of 48c per pound for butter, bringing about a million and a half dollars to the dairymen during the year. Hermiston was included in the itin erary, conferences being held here with the business men and the coun ty agent who are cooperating. With the abundance of water from the Mc Kay Creek reservoir, the irrigation districts around Hermiston, Irrigon and Boardrnan will be wonderfully supplied with water for the entire season. Wheat conditions ih Umatilla county are the best in a number of years, according to Mr. Ide. High Schools to Vie at Corvallis Track Meet Omfffin Agricultural Colleee. Cor vallis. Arrangements for the first annaul Oregon interscholastic track and field meet to be run off here May 14 have just been completed by uarl A. Lodell. eeneral manager. Mr. Lo- dell met with representatives of Ore gon and Portland high school athletic associations where differences as to eligibility rules were adjusted and an agreeable date decided upon. The annual event will be on the recond Saturday of each May. This date is early in the season but was considered the most suitable as it will take care of all schools through out the state, in the opinion of the athletic officials. Schools will be elegible for compe tition under the rules of the Oregon or Portland high school athletic as sociations. The same rules will gov ern this meet as govern the associa tion contests. "I think this annual track meet will be great for athletics in the north west," said M. H. Butler, Oregon Ag gie track coach and trainer. "It will be the cause of developing many more men. Competition is what is re- quired to bring out the best in the boys." High school officials throughout the state are very much in favor of such a meet and sent word through their lepresentatives that they would back 1927 Schedule, Morrow-Gilliam County League Heppner HEPPNER IONE ARLINGTON CONDON At Heppner Gazette May 8 June 19 April 24 May 22 April 10 May 29 At lone April 17 June 12 Times May 15 June '26 May I June 5 At Arlington May 1 June 5 April 10 May 29 for May 8 June 19 At Condon May 15 June 26 April 24 May 22 April 17 June 12 Printins DELICIOUS APPETIZING NUTRITIOUS Shell Fish Order them any day.

Fifty-three students were ex pelled from the University for failure to meet the minimum scholastic stan dards during the winter term, Carl ton E. Spencer, registrar, announced today. Of this number 49 were men and four were women. The number of flunkers is compar atively small, Mr. Spencer said, be cause of the probation system under which poor students are given a sec ond chance. The personnel committee gives special attention to weak stud ents, and many are warned in time to improve their work or else with draw before the end of the term, he explained. Last fall term 72 were flunked out, and in the winter term of last year 41. The number on probation this fall was 120, and it is expected this number will be smaller for the spring term which has just started. NOTED PSYCHOLOGIST TO TEACH.
