den, W. B. Willbanks and A. T. He
rein!. Mr. and Mrs, Frank Ackerman

where Mr. Ackerman has been em
ployed since July at the carpenter
trade. They visited at the home
of Mrs. Ackerman's brother, Jack

Boardman is becoming quite a
metropolis, as it boasts of street
lights. These are a decided addi
tion to the town, not to mention a
great saving on the flashlight bat
teries to the local people.
Mrs. J. F. Barlow spent several
days at Athena last week where
she was called by the Illness of her
daughter, Mrs. Truman Messenger.
"Uncle Hank" Cramer had a ser
ious attack last Wednesday and for
a time it was thought that he would
not survive, but on Thursday ha
seemed to be as well as usual. Uncle
Hank who will be 78 years of age
the 19th of the month seems to
have unlimited vitality. He is total
ly blind, deaf and absolutely help
less from rheumatism. He has been
bedfast for many years. He is a
brother of Frank Cramer and has
made his home with them for more
than 30 years.

Eva," under the direction of Miss
Alice Falk was given Friday night
at tne auditorium to a large house.
The parts were all well taken but

Nellie Dillon as Eva King were eas
ily the stars of the play, although
other members of the cast followed
closely in their display of histrionic
ability. Norma Gibbons made an
attractive Julie DeWitt and playing
opposite Alex A"rs as her husband.
Vernon Root took the part of Uncle
Horace Pilgrim, Alvie Mefford play
ed the part of Dr. Delameter with
Buster Rands as Sir Andrew Gor
don. Both vied for the hand of Eva

ed himself as Mr. King, the rich
father. Gladys Wilson made a pert
little maid and Linda Hango as
Miss Abby Rocker, the maiden aunt,
acted her part very well in fact all
did well and that home-talent plays
are always popular was shown by
the crowd. One criticism was of
fered and that was needless profan
ity that was sprinkled throughout
the play. Most of this could have
been deleted or milder expletives
substituted. The Rhythm band
made its first appearance between
the first and second act and was a
splendid feature. The small folks
under Mrs. Marschat's diligent
training made a juvenile band that
had real rhythm. They played two
numbers, one by Howell and one
by Gaynor, and Echo Coats as the
petite little leader, made a tremen
dous hit with the audience. Mr.
and Mrs Marschat and Miss Henry
sang several selections between the
second and third acts. The trio is
always popular and well received.

Oregon Has Much
Federal-Owned Land
The apportionment of approxi
mately 114 million dollars of Federal
Aid money to the road building pro
gram of Oregon each year serves to
bring out numerous questions rela
tive to the amount of government
owned land in the various states.
According to statistics compiled
by the Oregon State Motor Associa
tion, the total area of land and wa
ter in the 48 states is 3,026,719
square miles. The total area of
land owned by the Federal Govern
ment in the form of unappropriat
ed and unreserved public land, non
taxable Indian land, and national
forests, parks and monuments, Is
612,108 square miles, or 20.2 of
the total area comprising the forty-eight
states.
The land owned by the Federal
Government is not distributed even
ly among the 48 states. Nine states
have no Federal land. In 16 states
the Federal land Is less than 1
of the total state area. In 9 states
the Federal land represents from
1 to 4 of the total state area.
In 14 states the Federal holdings
are from 7.2 to 84.2 of the total
state area.
Oregon has 45.6 of its total
area taken up by Federal owned
land; Washington has 30.6 and
California has 40.7. .

Twenty-five miles a
day is the distance
traveled by the aver
age elevator of a ten
story building, or the
equivalent of 132,000
steps. How many of
these steps does elec
tricity save you and
at what cost?
CLICK! ... The gate of the
crowded elevator shuts. Like a
bullet you are shot upward, and
once again you get a sense of the
tremendous mechanical power
needed to make modern living
possible.
In a few brief seconds more work
has been accomplished than twen
ty men could do in an hour. And
all by a small black Genie a
pound of coal a lump no bigger
than a man's fist transformed by
the genius of science into elec
tricity. To get every ounce of energy pos
sible from each pound of coal de
mands not only extensive research
but unremitting care in the hand
ling of intricate machinery.
Coal must be tested and some
times put through special pro
cesses before it is used. Even an
elemental thing like water must
be measured, analyzed and treat
ed is necessary, to insure just the
right pressure on every boiler.
It is because of such refinements
that electric service in America is
both efficient and cheap. As the
modern housewife, like the mod
ern manufacturer, makes full use
of the advantages it brings the
dream of the complete abolition
of human toil through electricity
comes ever nearer to its realization.
