Ambition . . . Serge had it
When I hear farmers talking as
if they were all headed for the
poorhouse I flhlnk of mv neighbor,
Serge Katorsky. Serge came over
from Russia Just before the war,
because he had five children and
wanted to give them a ahance. He
had about three hundred dollars to
start with.
He bought a couple of hundred
acres of cheap mountain land about
five miles from my farm, and start
ed to work. He repaired the tumble-down
old house, and in these
twenty years has so Improved it
that it is the most comfortable
farm-house I have ever seen. There
are eleven children now, seven of
them through high school, two
through college, three of the girls
finishing up in the State Normal
School. And what marks those
Katorsky kids do get in school!
Serge started with some scrub
cows but has bred up his dairy herd
until it's one of the best in the dis
trict. They grow or raise practic
ally all they eat, and they certainly
live well.
Serge Katorsky had the two es
sentials for successful living, in
dustry and ambition. With those a
man can get almost anywhere.
Colors . . . have a care
If you take your automobile with
you on your tour of the world, be
sure the color is one that won't of
fend the people of any particular
nation. In Finland they don't per
mit cars or anything else to be
painted red. Red is the color of
Communism, and the Finns are
scary about their communistic
neighbors next door in Russia.
One American got into trouble in
Java with a light cream-colored
car. White and cream are mourn
ing colors in the Dutch East In
dies, and are permitted only on
hearses. A yellow car is an of
fense in China, for the same rea
son. You don't want to take a green
car to either England or India. In
England there is a popular super
stition that green is an unlucky
color. Books and plays have been
written about girls who wore green
stockings, with the result they nev
er could get a man to marry them!
And in India green is reserved for
the use of pious Mohammedans
who have made the pilgrimage to'
Mecca and so are entitled to wear
the green turban.
Better play safe if you're really
going and take a plain black or
dark blue car with you on your
world tour.
First
two more
My friend Joe Kane has written
a book to tell who was the first to
do or make many things in com
mon use. It's an interesting book,
called "Famous First Facts," but I
ran across a couple of "firsts" the
other day that Joe hasn't got In his
book.
The first white bread was made
by an English miller, Huge Pad
dlngton, because a nobleman in his
town wanted bread to match his
white table-linen! That was news
to me when Frank Romer told me.
And the first paved street in
America was in down-town New
York. It is named, appropriately,
Stone Street A Dutch brewer's
wife in 1648 got tired of having her
husband's drays mired in the mud,
so she had her servants lay cobble-stones
the whole length of the
street.
Bunk
grain alcohol
Interesting, if not important!
We heard a lot, last year, about a
scheme to convert surplus grain
into alcohol. The idea was to save
the farmer by requiring every gal
lon of gasoline to be mixed with a
certain portion of grain alcohol.
The fuel research committee of
the National Automobile Chamber
of Commerce comes along now and
punctures, the balloon. The gasoline-alcohol
mixture, it finds, while
it enables the motor to accelerate
faster, makes starting harder, ab
sorbs moisture from the air, cor
rodes engine and fuel pipe lines and
costs much more than straight gas
oline. Besides, alcohol of higher
quality can be produced from pe
troleum more cheaply than the
poorer quality obtainable from
grain.
Some day motors doubtless will
be run by alcohol, but they will be
built for alcohol use alone and used
only where and when the gasoline
supply has given out.
Steam
inexpensive
Driving through a Northern in
dustrial city with an engineer
friend I saw a curious piece of
construction under way. It looked
just as If a huge steam engine were
being built out of doors.
"That's just what it is," my friend
told me. "That's the newest idea
in large steam plant3 for generat
ing electric power. What sense is
there in putting up an expensive
building just to house a steam en
gine? It's cheaper to protect the
equipment with asbestos, against
cold weather, and put Just enough
of a roof over it to keep the snow
off. Then, when you have to en
large the plant, you don't have to
tear out a heavy brick wall and
build an expensive extension. Be
sides, nobody ever yet found a way
to keep a boiler-room clean enough
to guard against dust explosions
without hiring a lot of extra help."
That sounded reasonable. It also
interested me when the engineer
told me that the new type of mer
cury boilers, like the one I saw,
could generate steam so cheaply
that they can produce electrical
energy at far less cost that the
cheapest waterpower.

PIONEER DAUGHTER WRITES.
To the Editor:
Although I am not acquainted
with vnn T flm fiiire T nm nnmialnl.
ed with many of the readers of
your paper, in waz, my rather,
Tho's Smn. settled nonr WoIIr
Springs and freighted from Castle
fiocK to tieppner, Deiore the rail
road was In. Our postofflce was
Ella, six or eight miles west of
Wells Springs.
The first school we attended was
at the head of Juniner cam In
a very small cabin. Although I was
a smau cnna, as l remember, It
couldn't have been more than 8x10
feet, without a floor. Our seats
were logs split In two, with peg
legs, no oesKs. uur teacher was
Mr. Fernel, a nice old gentleman,
whose school bell was "Ct YobI" Wo
carried pencils two or three inches
icng wnicn ne passed around for
us to use, and collected them again.
We afterwards had a new school
house just on the hill west of the
Mills place, where the artesian
well now is.
There were quite a few Indians
at that time. We had several In
dian scares. One time the whole
neiehbohood fled west of miia
office (probably down Willow creek)
ana neia a tort there; were gone
three days, as we heard the TnHinna
were on the warpath and were go
ing iu cross me Columbia at Uma
tilla. Later they often camped at
Wells Serines. One iims fothor.
,was hauling water from there when
an naian roae up and exclaimed,
"Hiu! Indians murder vnn" An
father looked up there came fifty
in a band about a quarter of a mile
away. He put a little water in each
barrel and tried to appear calm,
until he was over the hill out of
sight.
Our neighbors were the Von
Cleves, Millses, Kanes. Mr. Chat
man lived at Wells Springs. There
was a large family of the Millses.
Ethel, the oldest e-irl
car Cusic. Besides those children
there were the Bramble hnva rh.r.
ley, Walter and their brother; Char
ley and Ed Lieuallen, Rosa Deos.
Also I remember the names of Lute
and faadie Handy near the post
offlce. Tillman Fosters, a sheep
man, were quite friends of ours.
She is still living near Okanogan,
Wash. Mr. Fernell and Mrs. Reece
were our teachers whllo ii -
brother, Leaf Mofit, and sister lived
witn ner.
Five years later w mnvi in
miles northeast of Hennnur in snn
Hollow on a nice place where there
was pienty or water, afterwards
owned bv the Barratr h rnthora
near William Russell's dairy farm!
,in our scnooi mere were the Kane
children, who moved also, a large
family of the Wad PS Artlo Tnrcyan
and brothers, Charley and Ostin
Devin, Edith and Etta Galloway,
and in south fork school were Os

Carty, Lulu Saling, Bertha Kane.
miss i,eia w odd, lieorge Russell,
Will Saling, one at a time were our
teachers. My sister Edith taught
a term there after Will Saling was
superintendent.
In 1898 I wentrawav rn aclinni r,A
by chance I am here for the sum

Boardman several rimea hefnrs t
did not think of it being so near
my childhood home. At present I
am three miles east of Boardman.
My sister may visit me soon and if
parties interested would drop me
a line or call, we would be pleased
10 nave a visit with old friends.

Opening Dates Set for

FAIR DATES SET.
The North Morrow County fair
board has set September 1 and 2
a.-i the dates for this year's fair i.o
be held at Irrigon. Besides the us
ual classification of exhibits, there
will be a display of wheat arranged
by C. W. Smith, county :igent, who
siys that conditions rivalling this
yt-ar have not lended themselves to
an extensive exhibit of this nature.
Floyd Gemniell, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Arthur Gemmell, returned
home yesterday from North Dako
ta where he spent several months.
While in the middle west he Jour
neyed on to Chicago and took In
the world's fair. The wheat crop
in the Dakotas is a complete fail
ure, Floyd says, with the grasshop
pers cleaning up what the heat
wave left. There is not sufficient
forage for hay and farmers were
selling off their stock to keep from
feeding.

Live In the Open
"For there is nothing covered
that shall not be revealed; and hid
that shall not be known." Matt.
10-26.
How many things are said and
done in secret that we should not
dare say or do openly. And they
are the real key notes of character.
What we do and say before men,
in the open, does not count, against
this secret living, this secret say
ing and doing.
And yet God sees and knows ev
ery hidden act, and hears every
carefully whispered word. All this
life behind the scenes of publicity
is most surely recorded In eternity.
And some day the Book of Record
ing is to be opened, to our glory or
to our shame.
What a vast difference it would
make If this TRUTH were to be
come a predominant truth in our
lives; and if we were to keep it
ever before us.
No hidden life, but always in the
open. Kings and queens and other
noted folks have little or no pri
vacy. Well, God has made His
followers Kings and Queens by Di
vine right, to live royal lives; and
a royal life neither needs or wants
privacy. A royal life belongs to
the world. Let us, by the grace of
God, live the lives that can be
LIVED IN THE OPEN, respected
by all men, approved of God.
For the coming Lord's Day the
sermon topics are: For the morn
ing service, "Asleep;" and for the
evening service, "How to Believe."
If you have not a Church home we
invite you to come and worship
with us. Here you will find a live,
interesting Bible school with a
class for YOU; here you will find
plain, simple worship in the Church
services with the preaching of the
Gospel untempered with any of the
tenets of men. You are invited to
come and test the welcome of this
friendly Church.

Drivers Sans Licenses
Beware After Sept. 1st
Unless early action is taken, fully
two-thirds of the automobile driv
ers in this vicinity will be subject
to arrest on the morning of Sep
tember 1st for failure to obtain
their new drivers' licenses, accord
ing to information just received by
this newspaper from Hal E. Hoss,
secretary of state. An official esti
mate discloses that barely one
third of the drivers In this section
are equipped with proper drivers'
licenses.
Police officials state that no mor
atoriums will be granted and a
strict enforcement of the law will
be observed in their check on all
operators. With the "dead-line"
barely four weeks away, all persons
still carrying cards issued before
July 1, 1931, should obtain new
cards at the first opportunity. Sec
retary Hoss warned.
Renewal permits are being
granted without examination to all
operators previously licensed in
Oregon who are now under the age
of 70, those with clean accident rec
ords and those without physical de
fects. All applications must be
made on regular forms supplied by
the secretary of state and must be
signed in the presence of a notary
public, or other person authorized
to administer oaths. Examiners
will perform notarial duties for all
applicants without charge, It was
pointed out.
STINGLE CANYON FINISHED.
Work of surfacing the Stingle
canyon hill from the stock pass at
the bottom to the top of the hill
with talis rock was completed Sat
urday by a county crew. The road
down the canyon has cut up badly
during wheat hauling season In
past years, besides becoming mucky
in the wet season, and the work
just completed is expected to help
this condition considerably.
