Pa ye Eight fleppner Gazette Times, Heppner, Oregon Thursday, May 9, 1940 LEXINGTON OPENS WATER SYSTEv Federal Aid Project Costing $31,500 Expected to Pay Out Over Period of Years Lexington's new water system, a $31,500 project, is now in use, giv ing the town a service long desired and an achievement of which the citizens are justly proud. When the project was decided up on, a contract was entered into with the Public Works administration for financing it. The government sanc tioned a loan of $17,500 and made a grant of $14,000. Revenue from the water system will retire the loan. Involved in the project was the purchase of the old system from Mrs. Elsie Beach and Mrs. Laura Scott and the drilling of a new well and erection and equipment of a new pumphouse. A. A. Durand & Son of Walla Walla were awarded the contract for drilling the well, which was completed at a depth of 420 feet. Location for the well was chosen by Carl E. Green, repre sentative of the state board of health, and approved by the city, Engineer L. R. Stockman of Baker and the PWA officials. A bacteria test, together with a chemical anal ysis, found the water to be satis factory. Construction was done by Jacob-sen-Jensen Co. of Portland. Mr. Jacobsen and his foreman and ma chinist, with the aid of local labor recently completed laying the new mains, the work being done so ef ficiently that no one suffered from the lack of water for any length of time C. E. Stockman of Baker was resident engineer and Mr. Stacer and Mr Linklater worked alternate ly as PWA engineer inspectors un der the direction of the traveling engineer, Walter Pierson. Republicans Elect County Club Officers Members of the Morrow County Republican club met at the court room in the county court house Monday evening and elected offi cers for the ensuing year. Frank C. Alfred was retained as president, J. O. Turner, vice president and L. W. Briggs, treasurer. J. V. Craw ford declined the nomination for secretary to succeed himself and the post was awarded to Mrs. W. S. Bennett. Directors elected for the ensuing year include Fred Ely,' Cecil; Neil Knighten, Hardman; V. L. Carlson, Eightmile-Gooseberry; John Bros- nan, Lena, and Henry Smouse, lone. A sample ballot for the primary election was perused and in the absence of candidates, several club members gave their reasons for sup porting certain state and district aspirants. E. Harvey Miller, Morrow county's aspirant for the legislature on the republican ticket, expressed the hope that if elected he will be able to discern between good and bad legislation and thus be a worthy representative of the district.

CONGRESS To the People of Eastern Oregon: When I first went to Salem as state senator, the farmers of Ore gon could not use their trucks to help out a neighbor, and if they owned a truck they were not al lowed to hire it out, under penalty of fine and imprisonment. Through my efforts and my senate bill re pealing such laws, a farmer may now use his truck for hire in prac tically any way he pleases. I raised the price of liquor and added $3,000,000 additional money for . old-age assistance. While we need still more money for this wor thy cause, three million dollars will purchase some additional comfort for my elderly friends. I think it is a crime that we allow wheat and livestock to come in from foreign countries in competi tion with our Eastern Oregon farmers. I am against recognition of dic tator nations that imprison the clergy, deny freedom of religious worship, freedom of the press, and peaceful assembly. We should re fuse to recognize any foreign power which gives financial support to foreign agents in this country. I pledge you that if you send me to Washington as congressman from the second Oregon district, I will work, plan, connive and fight for your best interests. Paid Adv.
