Arlington Meeting
Brings Action;
People Have Say
By BURTON H. PECK
Morrow county was fairly rep
resented in a rural electrification
meeting held in Arlington Tuesday.
Citizens from Wasco, Sherman, Gil
liam and Morrow counties were
present. The meeting was called to
order by the mayor, who introduced
Wm. Huck of Sherman county, who
said in part that the movement for
cheaper power was passing through
an informative stage; that a power
district composed of several coun
ties would be more desirable than
single county units; that it would not
be desirable to use property security
bonds to build lines or purchase
utility holdings; that incorporated
cities must apply for power separate
ly from the districts at large. In
Oregon 5 of the voters of an area
may sign preliminary petitions to
organize a peoples' utility district.
The State Hydroelectric commission
then holds formal hearings, makes
a report, and on the filing of a sec
ond and final petition signed by 5
of the voters of the area an election
is held to vote on organization of a
district. The preliminary petition is
not obligatory. The proposed district
will have to provide a fund for
making up the description of the dis
trict and having the petition printed.
On its presentation, we understand,
the state engineer will take charge
and make a report.
It was indicated that a bill would
be submitted to the voters at elec
tion, providing for revenue certifi
cates to finance distributing sys
tems. After informal discussion the
chair appointed a temporary chair
man from each county, who in turn
named a county committee. For Mor
row county the committee is B. H.
Peck, chairman; R. B. Rice, E. E.
Rugg, Oral Scott, Jeff Jones, Bert
Mason and Jack Farris. This com
mittee will hold a preliminary meet
ing at the Lexington Erosion Con
trol meeting Feb. 3 and arrange for
a county-wide meeting at Heppner
at an early date.

Bridges' Defy to
State Wool Growers
Heppner had a delegation on hand
at The Dalles on Wednesday of last
week to welcome the first ships to
navigate the sea locks at Bonneville
when they arrived at the river port
to participate in a celebration hon
oring Col. T. M.' Robins, divisional
U. S. Army engineer, supervisor of
the work, and recognizing the re
instatement of navigation on the
river.
Among men from here in attend
ance were Judge Bert Johnson, C.
J. D. Bauman, J. O. Turner, D. M.
Ward, Chas. B. Cox and Dr A. D.
McMurdo.
Highly commendatory report of
the event was given at the Monday
Lions luncheon, when some of the
attendants gave impressions. Signif
icant was the unanimity of spirit
evidenced by the people of The
Dalles and the enthusiasm shown on
every hand. "It would have been a
good thing if everyone could have
attended," was the way one attend
ant gave his belief that the enthu
siasm was such as to engender a
livelier spirit in anyone.
Governor Martin, Secretary of
State Snell and party arrived on one
of the boats and were met at the
docks by an old stage coach in which
they were taken to the Elks build
ing. Here general visitation was en
joyed until the evening banquet at
which 250 were seated. The banquet
program included .the presentation
of a gold watch to Colonel Robins by
Governor Martin, speeches and skits
both entertaining and educational in
revealing future hopes from the river
transportation development.
The defy of Harry Bridges, labor
union leader, hurled at Oregon wool
growers, that sacks of wool not
branded to show contents having
been shorn by union shearers would
not be handled by CIO longshore
men, was reported to the club by
Joe Belanger, county agent. A sym
pathetic interest in the wool grow
ers' problem was expressed by club
members who saw no necessity for
the labor leader's action.
