HIGHWAY HISTORY
The state's system of highway
parks and wayside areas was in
augurated in 1925-26 under auth
ority of the 1925 legislature. It
grew from a gift by Simon Ben
son of Benson Park on the Colum
bia highway, plus additional
gifts from other owners until by
the close of 1928 a total of 97
park sites had been secured
through gift, purchase, and in
one case condemnation at Emi
grant Springs, coering practi
cally every section of the state.
Mayer park of 260 acres was a
gift of Mark a Mayer. A 197 acre
tract as Emigrant springs was
condemned for $6,900 and $26,
550 expended on buildings.
Back in 1927 the Commission
was bothered by the growth of
highway advertising signs, as
now. It then adopted the uniform
system of road signs and high
way numbers established by the
American association of state
highway officials. It notes that
on New Years day 1928 the Co
lumbia river highway was block
ed by ice and snow through the
gorge in Multnomah and Hood
River counties. In 1927 it develop
ed the "non-skid" treatment for
"Blacktop" pavements. In 1928,
by legislative authority, it as
sumed Multnomah's county's in
terest in the Interstate Bridge and
made a joint ownership arrange
ment with the State of Washing
ton for its operation as a "non
toll" bridge. Also, it bowed to

Morrow County's School Budget Problems
About Average In Counties of State
If there is a feeling among
the voters and taxpayers that
they are being put upon by the
school budgets they should give
consideration to the position in
which other counties of the state
find themselves. There is no de
nying that school expenses are
heavy, but it must be remember
ed that forces over which we
have no control brought about
the condition with which we are
faced.
Of 22 counties responding to
an inquiry sent out by Supt,
Henry Tetz, eight reported higher
"total budgeted per capita", 12
reported the same for the '49-'50
and '50-'51, and two were lower
this year than last. Of these two,
Morrow county was one. The
millage last year was 31.7; this
year it is 28.1. Lowest millage
reported for this year is 19.8, in
Baker county. Deschutes reports
the highest, 65.0.

Ralph Crum, lone, Alvin Bunch
and Frank Anderson Heppner,
were appointed as directors to
represent Morrow county in a
n-county rain making and hail
depression experimental trial
that will include Sherman, Mor
row and Gilliam counties.
Directors were elected at a
meeting held Monday evening at
the court house in Heppner at
tended by 43 interested farmers.
Those farmers present, after
hearing County Agent N. C. An
derson outline experimental work
and results carried out in other
states, forwarding the proposal
made by farmers attending a tri
county meeting in Arlington last
week, agreed to raise one thou
sand dollars for experimental
cloud seeding this year. Gilliam
and Sherman counties are to be
included in the experimental
area and will likewise contn

Directors Anderson, Bunch and
Crum are meeting today with the

MARINE CORPS ACCEPTING
RECRUITS AT PORTLAND
Dispelling a current erroneous
belief on the part of the general
public, Captain G. E. Lawrence,
officer in charge of the Portland
Marine Corps recruiting office,
announced that the Marine
Corps is accepting applicants for
immediate enlistment. Captain
Lawrence further stated that, as
far as is now known, this policy
will remain in effect for an in
definite period.
To qualify for enlistment in
the Marines, a young man must
be between the ages of 17 and
28. of good moral character, and
must meet the required mental
and physical standards.
The current enlistment period
is four years and accepted appli
cants are sent from Portland to
the Marine Corps recruit depot in
San Diego, where they are given
a iu-week course ot recruit train,
ing. On completion of this train
ing, they receive 10 days leave
prior to assignment to their first
duty station.
Ten of the reporting counties
show increases in teacher salaries
and ten show the same as last
year, while in one instance high
school salaries remain the same
and elementary school higher
and in another county it shows
a reversal with high school
higher and elementary lower.
Increased demands due to
heavy growth in population has
caused some of the counties to
budget heavily above the 6 per
cent limitation. Jackson, Lane,
Linn, Multnomah and Umatilla
are among those experiencing
the greatest increases. In these
counties, as in several others,
the proportion necessary above
the six per cent limitation is
approximately the same as in
Morrow county. The larger coun
ties, faced with bulging popula
tions, voted favorably on their
budgets, and of the 22 counties
