" I m
Cow Killers Belatedly
Report Organization
Set-up for New Year
(Contributed)
The annual meeting of the Cow
Killers club was held at Sunflow
er spring Saturday night, Nov. 19
on the eve of the closing of the
elk season. The meeting was held
for the purpose of electing officers
and initiation of new members.
F. B. Nickerson was re-elected
president as there was no other
member eligible for that position.
Dr. McMurdo was put in as vice,
and Owen Leathers was re-elected
to his old office of secretary
treasurer, an office he has so ef
ficiently filled. The new members
taken in were Guy Chapin and
Harley Leathers, old residents of
Hardman.
Not long after the initiation cer
emonies were over, Guy Chapin
was elected to the office of judge
supreme of the Cow Killers club.
This was an open ceremony and
those present besides the members
were Lou Bisbee, Tom Beymer
and Frank Stanley. Judge Chapin
was chosen for this high and im
portant office on account of his
high qualifications and natural
ability as a jurist. For those who
are not acquainted with Judge
Chapin, it may be fitting to de
scribe him as a man of short stat
ure and dark eyes which carry
sharp twinkle strongly significant
of his keen intellect. He wears a
heavy black beard in the late fall
and winter seasons but in the late
spring and summer he keeps it
neatly trimmed so at all times he
is the personification of dignity.
The judge has long been known
for fairness in his decisions, ren
dered in a kind and deliberate
manner which displays his judi
cial knowledge. It was these sterl
ing qualifications which won for
him this supreme office without
one dissenting vote, and we are all
proud to have such a distinguished
member in our new organization.
The Cow Killers club was born
on the last day of the elk season,
1937. r

Granges Install
Jointly at Rhea Creek
By BURTON H. PECK
Several members of Lexington
and Lena granges met with Rhea
Creek grange Friday evening. Boun
tiful dinner was served at 6:30 o'
clock p. m., after which officers-elect
of the several granges were install
ed into office by Mrs. Mary Lun
dell, county deputy. We commend
Rhea Creek grange for their hos
pitality. The ladies of Lexington grange
gave a 6 o'clock dinner Saturday in
the grange dining room, honoring
past masters. Clarence Bauman,
master-elect, presided as toastmas
ter. Amid mild revelry each master
reviewed some of the growth and
accomplishments resulting during
his administration. The diners then
assembled in the hall and listened
to the following lecturer's program:
Community singing, led by Mrs.
Trina Parker; piano selection, Mar-
sella Jackson; song by Burton Peck,
accompanied on the guitar by Don
ald Peck; duet, E. Harvey Miller
and Jesse Turner, with Mrs. Vir
ginia Turner at the piano.
Grange then convened and C. J.
D. Bauman, master-elect, and Anna
Smouse, secretary-elect, were in
stalled into office by Harvey Miller.
Rev. C. F. Trimble was elected to
membership. George Peck gave a
report from the agricultural meet
ing held Saturday at Spokane, where
delegates of the grange, Farm Bu
reau, Farmers Union and woolgrow-
ers from Oregon, Washington and
Idaho discussed agricultural pro
gram needful for the northwest and
whose combined deliberation ulti
mately accepted the Eastern Oregon
Wheat league program in its entire
ty, thus placing all northwest farm
groups under a united program.
The Lexington juvenile grange,
with Mrs. Norma Marquardt, juven
ile matron, assembled Saturday eve
ning in their new hall, which is a
valuable acquisition recently added
to the grange property.
Mrs. J. A. Anglin and father mo
tored to Yakima the end of the
week and returned Sunday after
transacting business.

COUNTY SCHOOL MEETING
(Continued from Page 2)
quantity purchase of supplies and
more adequate distribution of plants
and equipment which the single dis
trict plan can effect, it was pointed
out.
Because of the additional property
that would be made available for
special school taxing, and because
of the economies that may be ef
fected, a uniformly low special tax
would prevail on all property in the
county, it was emphasized from the
standpoint of taxation.
All schools would have uniform
qualifications, a point that any well
trained superintendent would de
mand, said Mr. MAtee, thus assur
ing one-room schools the same type
of teaching service that is available
to city schools.
That voting to come under the
county school law would not mean
an immediate consolidation of schools
was emphasized. The set-up calls for
districting the county into five zones
by the county court. One member
from each zone is elected to tne
county school board which has com
pete supervisory powers. These
members are elected for terms of
from one to five years, so that each
year one new member is elected, and
an experienced board is maintained
at all times after the organization
gets under way.
Those districts where schools are
maintained would still have their
own advisory committees, set up as
are the several district boards at
present, three members in each dis
trict. These committees would have
advisory powers only, to recommend
improvements or changes, such as in
teaching personnel, equipment, etc,

Gazette Times, Heppner,
Final determination of policy,
making of budgets, levying of taxes,
selection of teachers, expenditures
of all monies and all other admin
istrative work would lie entirely in
the hands of the county board.
How crook county has especially
benefitted in one instance was cited
by Mr. McAtee. That was in obtain
ing a musical director for all schools
in the county, second in ability to
none in the state. By spreading her
services over the entire county and
drawing on all the county for pay
ment of salary, they were able to
obtain this type of talent and retain
it over a long period of years.
One point in the county school
law plan of organization that the
speaker did not recommend or con
demn was the method of electing di
rectors. While each zone nominates
its own director, the entire county
votes on the nominees' election. It
might be that the zone whose posi
tion is to be filled should have sole
power of election, it was intimated.
