Is for the living to hold high the

City to Install Pump
In First Artesian Well
Installation of a pump in the first
artesian well drilled at the forks of
Willow creek was decided upon by
the city council Friday evening to
determine the amount of water
available there. If sufficient water
is found to justify It the pump will
be purchased and installed perma
nently. So far water from the county well
has proved sufficient to augment the
supply from the city wells, making
use of creek water unnecessary. It
is hoped to get the pump Installed
in time to provide sufficient water
when the county water is turned off
to fill the county reservoir now
nearing completion.
.Good progress is reported in the
work of making the channel to di
vert Ditch creek Into Willow creek,
a project in which both the county
and city are interested. Mack Smith
is in charge of the work.

WOULD
CELEBRATE
F!
Notson Says Interior Folk
Favorable; Picnic in
Timber Likely.
DRUNK DRIVERS HIT
Officer McMahon Flouts New Law
as Handicap; Lions Elect Of
ficers for New Year.
Favorable response from the in
terior to letters proposing a cele
bration on completion of the Hepp-ner-Spray
road was reported by S.
E. Notson at the Monday Lions'
luncheon. It was at first considered
to hold the celebration on July 4,
but the staging of other celebrations
at that time and the fact it is not
definitely known that the work will
be completed by that time, makes
choosing a later date advisable, Mr.
Notson said.
That folk of the John Day valley
are anxious to join in such a cele
bration, is shown by the responses.
It is expected the celebration will
be in the nature of a picnic at some
favorable point on the road in the
timber.
F. A. McMahon, state policeman.
addressed the club briefly on some
laws passed by the last legilature.
He especially emphasized the drunk
en-driver law, which he believed to
have a bad effect in requiring an
affidavit of a physician as to the
state of intoxication of drivers ar
rested for drunkeness. Mr. McMa
hon held every drunken driver to
be a potential murderer, and the af
fidavit feature of the law makes it
harder to get convictions. He also
cited that amendments to the truck
and bus law have worked to the ad
vantage of farmer-truckers while
working hardship on contract and
for-hire carriers.
Members of the club signed a res
olution of Heppner Commercial club
endorsing Inland Empire Water
ways association's program for de
velopment of the Columbia and
Snake rivers.
Joe Belanger, county agent, in
troduced as guests members of the
Morrow county wheat allotment
committee, Harvey Miller, George
Peck and R. B. Rice, who were in
town to count votes on the wheat
referendum. Mr. Belanger an
nounced that Morrow county voted
at least 90 percent in favor of con
tinuing the wheat production ad
justment program.
Officers for the ensuing year were
elected as follows: Jasper Craw
ford, president; Ray P. Kinne, 1st
vice-president; Estes Morton, 2nd
vice-president; S. E. Notson, 3rd
vice-president; F. W. Turner, sec
retary; Dr. A. D. McMurdo, Lion
tamer; John Turner, tail twister; J.
O. Turner, Henry Aiken, directors.
The officers will be installed the first
meeting in July.
Rain Comes at Last to
Break May Dry Spell
A steady drizzle yesterday, re
ported to be general over the county
was the first relief received from
the dry spell which has lasted since
the beginning of May. It was but
a gentle reminder of the cloudburst
which visited the county on May 29
last year.
The precipitation was received
joyously by everyone and especially
wheat farmers whose grain is still
in condition to be helped by show
ers. Reports from the north coun
try indicate that much more rain is
yet needed to be of material help
to crops there.
