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.

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.

O. Turner, vice president and L.
W. Briggs, treasurer. J. V. Craw
ford declined the nomination for

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.

SENATOR REX ELLIS
From Umatilla, Union and
Morrow Counties
Republican Candidate for
U. S. 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. REX ELLIS.
