The wind took the whole top of the state fair ground grandstand off and moved a one fair sized barn 50 feet, turning it completely arouna. Many large trees were uprooted and everything in general looks a pale, sick color from the dust. Mr. Anglin reports a very enjoyable trip. Mrs. Anglin will remain in Yakima for a couple of weeks looking after business in terests and visiting with her moth er and sister. Mr. and Mrs. Joel R. Benton de parted this morning by auto for Portland, going to the city to at tend a meeting of the Church of Christ to be held in that city on Friday in behalf of the campaign now being put on to raise a pen sion fund of $8,000,000 for retired aged and disabled ministers of the church in the United States. Mrs. Jeff Beamer, who is also in the city this week end, will attend the meet ing. Mrs. Beamer is in the city to attend the state meeting of the De gree of Honor as a delegate from the Heppner lodge. Luck was not so good for some of the local fishermen Sunday. Su perintendent Poulson and Postmas ter Smead are each limping around because of slipping and falling while attempting to get at the finny tribe from some of the more inac cessible places along the fishing streams, the former receiving a se verely wrenched hip that has made it quite painful getting about, while Mr. Smead received injuries to the right leg. Judge Calvin S. Sweek is home from Pendleton for a week-end rest from his duties. He has been quite busy in holding court at the Uma tilla county capital for the past two weeks, and will leave for Portland on Sunday, where he has been call ed to preside for a week in the court of Judge R.

Correspondent It was not an attack of ague that prevented a report of the neighbor hood gossip last week, but an acute attack of arthritis and temporary lack of telephone facilities. The operretta, "The Dream Boat," was given by the grade pu pils on April 17 and the result of much trianing on the part of the teachers was shown by the excel lence of the production. The cos tumes were colorful; the fairies and gnomes, the queen, the pictures in the picture book, the scribe, in fact each and everyone who took part are deserving of mention but space does not permit. The story center ed around the eight children, Max lne Machan, Mildred Ayers, Edith Nickerson, Mary Smith, Edwin Rainvllle, Franclne Knig, Stanley Partlow and Francis Titus who took a trip in The Dream Boat, and the play was a portrayal of their ad ventures. The pirates and Indians were gorgeously arrayed, and The Maker of Dreams, the sailor, the herald, all added to the ensemble. Puck with his clever costume was an interesting feature and gives promise of developing a fine voice, as do several of the other players. Readings by Helen Mead and John Mclntyre were much enjoyed be tween acts. Before the operetta the school or chestra made Its Initial bow to the public and was very cordially re ceived. This orchestra was organ ized by Orla Brown, the seventh and eighth grade teacher, and when one remembers that but three or four of the members had ever had any training In reading music, the results of the work seem remark able. Selma Ayers played the ac companiment and the strains of "Old Black Joe," "Yankee Doodle," etc., brought much applause. Paul Mead played hia baritone in the medley and although he had never had one before last fall he played with ease and aplomb. Mr. Brown is not returning next year but it is hoped that his successor will be able to cary on the work so nicely started. A dance was given Saturday, Apr. 18, for the benefit of the baseball club. As there had not been a dance for some time there was a large crowd and enough money was rais ed to purchase baseball parapher nalia. Some real thrilling games have been played this season with neighboring towns. On Sunday, the local team defeated Hermiston 15 to 12. When the school orchestra played "America" the other night we look ed at our neighbors and wondered whether we should stand or remain seated, and finally when part of the audience stood, we did also. On in quiry we learn that when a medley is being played it Is not necessary to arise even though the national anthemn is being played. This, by the way, according to decision of congress, is "The Star Spangled Banner." The Macombers were here from Condon last week end visiting rela tives. The Farleys, Slevins, M. Healeys, M. Mulligan and Johnny McNamee were Boardman residents who at tended the funeral services of the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Mike Modernize Your Farm In these days of Scientific Farming It Is a pretty tough soil that won't succumb to modern farming methods.

Stanley Hatch and his father were visitors on the project last week and guests at the Hango home. The Hatches made a trip to the Vale project where Stanley is contemplating taking up a home stead on some of the new land be ing developed there. Norma Gibbons spent last week end with her parents at Union. She met her mother in La Grande where they shopped on Saturday. The seniors took Friday as their annual Sneak Day, going to Walla Walla where they took in a show, had their pictures taken, and had one splendid time.

The May Silver Tea will be held at the home fo Mrs. J. T. Healy on the East End, Wednesday, May 6. Everyone invited. One of the finest stands of sweet clover that one could wish to see is that on the Cramer ranch. Mrs. Nick Faler was the honor guest at a lovely afternoon party Tuesday at the hotel with the mem bers and substitutes of the Bridge club as guests. Mrs. Faler has been one of the members of the club and each presented her with a dain ty handkerchief as a token of friendship, prior to her departure for Portland this week where she will make her home for a time. The afternoon was spent in playing bridge with honors going to Mrs. Ray Brown and Mrs. Guy Barlow. Wasn't that a hummer of a storm though? Large trees snapped off like sticks. ,No great damage was incurred here although telephone service was disrupted and travel was difficult. The most interesting part was the housecleaning the ma trons were forced to do after the blow was over. The grade children are deriving benefit from the newly installed shower baths at the gym, and it is a delight to the kiddies and a help to the mothers for the majority of the homes here are without bath rooms and it means hauling out the family washtub, heating water, etc., in addition to supervising the bath to see that ears and neck are not omitted in the ablutions. The Turner family has moved to the Humphrey place from lone and the members are new residents in our community. The Ludemann family is living in Lents temporar ily. They were the owners of the ranch and sold their equity to Mr. Turner. Mrs. Lucy Rodgers, county super intendent, and Miss Edith Stallard, county nurse, attended the operetta here. They are always welcome visitors in Boardman. We wonder if the local readers are all aware of the excellent col umn in each issue of the Gazette Times written by Miss Palmiter of the Heppner high school. Her col umn is always timely with hints and recipes appropriate to the sea son. The school appreciated talks by Mr. McMahon, traffic officer, and G. A. Bleakman, county commissioner, who visited the various schools in the county last week. The Home Economics club met with Mrs. Lea Mead, although it was the day of one of the most se vere wind storms in the history of the project there were fifteen lad ies who ventured out and enjoyed the delicious no-host luncheon which characterizes the meetings of the club. Miss Ethel Beougher and sister Alice were week-end guests at the Marschat home last week. Miss Beougher teaches at Hermiston this year and her sister attends school there. Mrs. Magoon has left and Mrs. Denson has taken charge of the Highway Inn. Mr. and Mrs. T. E. Broyles and daughter Irma were visitors on the project last week and were house guests at the Weston home. Mrs. Pete Gililland and baby were recent visitors at the Guy Barlow home. Mrs. Marie Shane was pleased to have her father with her for a visit. On Friday night a group of friends had a pleasant dance at the Shane home. About 25 were present and danced to the old time music play ed by Mr. Smith, Mrs. Shane's fa ther. The student body is planning a dance for Saturday night This will be held at the auditorium. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Allen and sons and Mr. and Mrs. Truman Mes senger and children were spending the week end with relatives on the project. Both families live in La Grande. Mrs. T. W. Keller of Portland was here Monday on business and was a guest at the Olson home. The Kellers own part of the Crawford place and the Irvin place. . The Falers were given a pleasant surprise party on Thursday evening by the members of the Home Econ omics club. The party was given at the Channing home with seven ta bles of "500." All had a most de lightful evening and extended the best of- wishes fo the Falers who left on the 24th for Portland. The Falers have been residents of the pioject since the early pioneer days and they will be greatly missed dur ing their absence. Mrs. Faler has taken an active part in the North Morrow County fair ard has been a member of the board for the last few years. . A family by the name of Vander hoof has moved on the Hatch place. They are from Heppner and have three small children. A wedding of much interest on the project was that at Prosser on Wednesday when Miss Emma Bea verness and Tom Delano were uni ted in marriage. The bride is the sister of Mrs. Glen Machan and came here a year and a half ago from Kansas. The groom is one of the Delano brothers who have made their home on the extreme west end of the project for many years, and is well liked by everyone. The cou ple will make their home on the Delano ranch where they will wel come their friends. They were giv en a noisy charivari on Friday night by a large crowd who were treated to candy and cigars. The Kings and the Marschats were hosts Saturday night at a card party at the Marschat home with seven tables of "500" in play. Hon ors were accorded to Mr. and Mrs. (Continued on Page Six.)

UNION PAC!F!E Chester Durbee, Agent, Heppner, Oregon s A F E T Y & S E R V I C E Believe It, Or Not A New York banker has figured out that if six copper coins recently unearthed, bearing the date of 600 yars B C, had been placed at com pound interest since coined, the re turns would have been immense. How much? Well, it's past the power of comprehension. The Am erican value of these coins was only 6 cents, yet they would have earned at compound interest during the past 2,500 years a ball of gold 62 times as large as this earth, so the New Yoker says.
