BOARDMAN
San Francisco to Hawaii Pacific Flyers
MRS. A. T. HEftEIM. Correspondent.
The Ladies Aid play, "The Stylish
Stouts," given Thursday evening at
the auditorium was enjoyed by all
who attended. It was a light comedy
and very well played by the five mem
bers of the cast under the excellent
supervision of Mrs. Allegra Feess.
Mesdsmes Root. Huff, Gorham and
Macomber as "golf widows" whose
husbands were being vamped by Bess
Carleton, a gay widow (Mrs. Chaffee)
decided to reduce and regain their
lost beauty. It was all very cleverly
done and their acting was splendid
and brought many laughs. Mrs. Chaf
fee as the young widow, created
quite a surprise as many of her
friends failed to recognize her so
clever was her make-up. Mrs. Lee
Mead played "The Palms," a beautiful
piano selection, in her usual gracious
manner. Mary Chaffee recited. A lit
tle sketch showing Dad trying to
read the Boardman Mirror in peace
with various members of the family
asking for parts of it was put on by
Mr. Calkins, Mrs. King, Mrs. Coates
and Oscar Calkins. Mrs. Royal Rands
presented Alice Calkins and Jessie
Klages in a neat skit called "The Old
and the New." Alice, garbed in old
fashioned costume, part of it being
some of her mother's wedding outfit,
sang several songs, followed by Jessie
garbed as a present day flapper who
sang and danced "A La Mode. Mrs
Rands acompanied the girls on the
guitar. Mrs. Rands sang "Annie
Laurie," playing her own accompani'
ment before the girls appeared. Be
tween acts Buster Rands and Albert
Boardman sang with Mrs. Rands play
ing the guitar. This number also
made a great hit..
Mrs. Ralph Davis and two sons re
turned Thursday from an extended
visit with friends in Gateway, Ore.
Mrs. Nels Kristensen is pleased to
have her sister, Mrs. J. w . Thoma
and family of Lemoore, Calif., with
her for a visit. Ten yeirs have
passed since the sisters met.
Ray Brown and two daughters
came home Thursday from a week's
visit in Walla Walla. On Saturday
they motored to Parkers Mill for the
three days of celebration.
Mrs. Jay Cox and children are home
after spending a couple of weeks with
Mr. Cox at Rufus.
Victor Hango, Linda, Lillian and
mother, Mrs. Chas. Hango and baby

two-weeks 'vacation trip, motoring to
Mayger, Prescott, Astoria, Kelso and
other points of interest.
J. F. Gorham and family left Sun
day morning for a motor trip to Ida
ho for the holidays.
Mrs. 0. H. Warner is expected
home Saturday after a visit of eleven
weeks with her daughter, Mrs. John
Heck at Redding, Calif.
Royal Rands and family spent the
4th at Parkers Mill as did Paul Smith
and family, the John Brices and their
visitors, Fred Edmunds and daughter
Alberta of Ridgefield, Wn.
Glen Burton who spent some time
here with his parents was married
week ago last Saturday to Wilma
Snyder of Pilot Rock, at Vancouver,
Wash.
Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Nizer, the Chas
Wicklander family and the Dilla-
boughs spent the 4th at Parkers Mill,
Some of the wheat on the project
is being cut this week. W. H. Mef
ford has cut some on the Cason place
and others will have their's cut this
week. There is some fine looking
wheat here.
Those who did not motor to other
places for the 4th picnicked at var
ious places here. One of the sump
tuous picnic dinners was enjoyed by
the I. Skobo family, Claude Myers and
family at the Kunze home.
Another congenial group was that
gathered at the C. S. Calkins place
with the Kings, Hereims, Meads, Cal
kins, Flickingers and Kristensens and
the Thomas family of California be
ing present. A wonderful picnic din
ner and quantities of ice cream were
consumed. The day was completed
with an evening party at the King
home.
The next meeting of the Home Eco
nomics Club will be held at the home
of Mrs. Ed Kunze. This club is com
posed of the women members of the
Grange who wish to join and is not an
exclusive organization. Each mem
ber brings one dish and the whole
makes a most elaborate luncheon. The
members have delightful times..
Boardman poultrymen have been
shipping their young cockerels to
Portland and other places.
The J. R. Johnson family, W. A.
Prices and S. H. Boardmans had a
most delightful trip Monday, going
to the McKay dam and up to Cabbage
Hill.
F. A. Fortier has purchased a new
Essex coach.
Bill Gill has purchased a new
Chrysler sport roadster.
Mrs. Lowell Spagle is clerking at
Churchill's store which opened for
business last week where Raush's
used to be. Mr. and Mrs. Churchill
are an elderly couple who moved here
from Alderdale where they have been
in business for fourteen years, and
expect to make this their home. They
are pleasant folks, the parents of
Mrs. Burton who wag a Boardman
resident for the past year. The
Churchills are living in Mrs. She
man's house.
An error was made in stating that
Helen Chaffee was a Heppner visitor
last week. It was Helen Boardman
who accompanied the Johnsons and
Mrs. S. H. Boardman.
The resignation of Supt. Fred Kelly
was received last Friday and Law
rence E. Marschat was elected to fill
the position. Mr. Marschat comes
highly recommended and U well qual
ified to handle the position. He is
a graduate of Colorado College at
Colorado Springs and has tuken work
at Columbia University in New York
city. For the past three years he has
been a teacher at Milad City, Idaho.
Mrs. Marschat has been teaching
there also, having charge of the pri
mary work. Marschats plan to go
on to Seattle to attend summer school
or possibly to Stanford. Mr. Kelly
will teach at Fortuna, Calif., this
year. Boardman friends were sur
prised at Mr. Kelly's action in re
signing at this late date, but the

board members feel that they have in
Mr. Marschat a young man who will
continue the good work started last
year by Mr. Kelly and hi3 teachers,
and the cooperation of all patrons
is asked for the coming year. An ex
cellent corps of teachers has been se
lected and prospects are fine for a
good school year.
What might have been a serious
accident occurred Saturday night by
the Porter ranch. As Porters drove
out on their way to Boardman they
met a car going west. Another car
traveling at a lively clip attempted
to pass and could not do so, pulled
out of the road and hit the right of
way, ploughing up posts and wire.
The car, a Chrysler sedan, turned
over but no one was injured. The
names of the tourists were not ob
tained. Another congenial group that pic
nicked together on the 4th was com
posed of the Packards, Spagles, Dug-
gans, Ballengers, Porters and L. G.
Smiths, who motored up the highway
above Echo and had a sumptuous feed
on the banks of the Umatilla.
A pretty home wedding was sol
emnized Saturday, July 2, at 9:30 a.
m., when Sophia Mefford was united
in marriage to James Edward Barlow,
at the home of the bride. Rev. A. D
awogger read the marriage service,
using the ring ceremony. The bride
wore a gown of gray silk. There were
no attendants. The guests were im
mediate relatives of both bride and
bridegroom and Miss Mabel Brown.
Gladys and Eldon Wilson and Chas.
Barlow of Heppner, a brother of the
bidegroom, and Mrs. Nate Macomber.
Mr. and Mrs. Barlow departed imme
diately after the refreshments were
served for Palouse. They planned to
visit overnight With Mr. and Mrs. Tru
n an Messenger at Athena. Mrs. Bar
low is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W.
H. Mefford, and has lived in Board-
man since childhood. She was a
student at Boardman high school. The
bridegroom is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. J. F. Barlow of Barlow's service
station and is a sterling young man.
Best wishes are extended to the
couple.
E. T. Messenger and family and
Alvin Wantland and Degareth Wicks
of Portland, motored to Athena Mon
day and spent the day with Mr. and
Mrs. Truman Messenger.
A serious auto accident occurred in
of government has increased out of
11 proportion to the ability of the
taxpayers to pay and also has in
creased out of all proportion to the
benefits received. The last legisla
ture missed a golden opportunity for
public service. Instead of meeting
the situation squarely and reducing
the expense of government, as the
people expected the legislature to do,
the issue was avoided and appropria
tions materially increased, thereby
adding to the so-called deficit. It is j
matter of record that a large re
duction of budgeted expense has been
accomplished up to the the time the
income tax recommendation appeared,
and that immediately thereafter the
savings up to that time were wiped
out and over-appropriations running
nto millions were adopted. The in
come tax as proposed instead 01 re
lieving the present tax burden would
largely, if not entirely, have been
ed in making up these over-appro
priations.
The legislature also passed the so-
called Blue Blank Assessment Bill,
which was intended to raise more tax
money rather than to redistribute
the present burden. This bill would
have called upon the taxpayers to pre
pare a great mass of detailed infor
mation, much of it unnecessary,
which would have cost the taxpayers
large sums of money to procure and
would have caused heavy additional
expense to record and tabulate.
The Greater Oregon Association
consulted with its membership thru
out all of the counties of the state
and concluded that it was -its duty
to lead the way toward a real reform
by filing a referendum against this
bill. This seemed to be the only way
in which the taxpayers could get re-j
lief. We found a general sentiment
throughout the state against both
measures and in lavor ot a radical
reduction iu the expense of govern
ment. Our association is made up of
membership throughout every part of
the state and of persons in almost
every walk of life. The result of the
election shows that the taxpayers of
Oregon are fully awake to the situa
tion. They are opposed to increas
ing their burdens and cannot be led
astray by misinformation no matter
from what source it may come. As
a result of the election the public
officials will find it necessary in pub
lic affairs to do as the citizens are
doing in their private affairs, that
is, limit their expenditures to the
size of their incomes.
If the taxpayers were not now over
burdened and the state were in bet
ter financial situation and we had
public money in the treasury looking
for investment, it might be correct
to consider a new building program
but with conditions as they are, the
taxpayer should insist that the public

J. Person of Helix, Ore., struck
small child who was crossing the
highway near Peck's service station
According to witnesses, Mr. Person
was not driving at an excessive rate
of speed and did all in his power to
avoid striking the child. He made
report to Mr. Goodwin, justice of the
peace, at once. The child was rushed
to Arlington. One of her legs was
fractured.
Mr. and Mrs. Glen Hadley and ba
by and J. P. Hadley motored to Par
kers Mill for the 4th.
Local trains No. 1 and No. 2 were
taken off effective July 3, so Board
man postoffice service has been
changed. Mail will be carried on
night trains Nos. 6 and 6, coming
through at 1:16 and 1:45 a." m. The
postoffice will be open from 9 till 10
a m. on Sundays and holidays. :
Mr. and Mrs. Walter Stutte and two
children motored up from Portland
Friday and spent the week end with
the Falers. Stuttes have a new Chev
rolet coach in which they made the
trip.
Harley Miller, who has been spend
ing some time at the D. F. Ransier
home, entertained at a pleasant party
Saturday night, having about twenty
young people in for the evening.
Games were played and delicious re
freshments were served.
Mrs. M. A. Marlow of Pendleton
came Saturday and spent several days
at the home of her daughter, Mrs.
Ransier. On the 4th Mr. and Mrs. W.
J. Thurman and daughter Margaret
were guests. Tuesday Ray Marlow
and Hiller Hanson stopped for a short
visit on their way to Pendleton from
a trip to Portland.
It is reported that the John Part-
low place has been sold to Glen Ma
chon of Idaho. Mr. Machon was here
for several days the past week. He
may move down later.

Even Greater Value
Because of Lower Prices
business be conducted along business J
lines and all unnecessary epcuui
tures and expensive duplications
eliminated.
The income tax would have been an
added burden upon a very large num
ber of our citizens. We are well ac
auainted with manufacturer's prob
lems particularly in the lumber in
dustry, and are equally acquainted
with the troubles of the Eastern Ore
gon grain grower. The grain grow
ers of Eastern Oregon have had many
disappointments and little encour
agement during the last six years,
with a result that many of them are
deeply in debt. The present pros
nects are that they will have a bump
er crop this year and at least a fair
price. To have required these pro
ducers to pay an income tax on this
unusual, crop without any allowance
for past losses would have been most
unfair. The lumber industry nas
lind three diRnnnointing years: if
this should improve and the operat
ors find it possible to make a profit,
they should at least be able to pay
off the debts accumulated during the
lean years before being required to
contribute money to unnecessary
public purposes.
Oregon has a large and comprehen
sive road program well under way and
deeply essential to the development
of the state. The motorists and high
way users are underwriting the main
tenance of present highways and the
extension of road building operations.
The outstanding bonds are being
properly retired and the program be
ing'well taken care of. In the inter
est of this necessary development we
ere unalterably opposed to disturb
ing the highway fund. Not one dollar
of it has so far been taken from land
taxes, but if this fund should be in
vaded and squandered on general ex
penses of the state the only relief
would fall back on the land taxes.
It is our expectation that the
Greater Oregon Association will con
tinue its activities in the interest of
the general public, and to continue
