L'ritil nw there has been noiliiti;: much to repurt. .Nearly evrynne knows that ihe people voted to establish a cemetery mitiiiien.'inre district, Ihe boundary of which coincides with the present boundaries of School District No. that a board of di lectors, consisting of Mrs. Harold INans, 1'anl .Tones, .1 C I'.arrait. was elected to bee, in the will, of oraniing the district ; that 1 x levy of 3 mills on a real property valua tion of over S'UlOO.OiiO was voted. ,vide the district with ltinus, that Ilarrait s "'r,n 01 "" the end ol liie year, aim Harold l'.e kel was elected to suc ceed him on the hoard. It is fairlv common knowledge that the function of the district is to acquire and maintain suitable i, uiihin the boundaries ,.r t',,. ili-tricl. as well as to tak( over the iluiies associati of the be to pro a nd ei iied the sale of lots, make necessary rules governing the use of the ,,.,neierv and set up a fund from in; lament of which, in ,.,,nTxe of lime, an income may derived that will at least help to maintain the cemeteries in a satisfactory condition. It is probably not so well known that there are three come leries already in existance with in the district Pleasant Point, located on the Currin ranch near Butter Creek, the Rhea Creek cemeterv, on ihe Hayes place on Rhea Creek, and me iieppnvr Masonic Cemetery, situated on ihe hill south of Heppner. Since the taxpayers in the area about the country cemeteries are help ing to pay'ihe maintenance levy, it "is natural that the district should he expected to keep those cemeteries in shape. Since their election, the direc tors have been quietly going about the business of acquiring title to the three cemeteries. Mr. Hugh Currin have the district title wilh and Mrs promised to give to the Pleasant Point cemetery, Identical luxury features found )ClUj in TOP-QUALITY $59.50 mattressesl ANNIVERSARY MATTRESS v . 0S.' and a survey and description that area is being prepared. The title to the Rhea Creek cemetery- is being investigated, prepara- tory to securing a deed. An agreement has been reached with the Masonic Lodge for the pur chase of the cemetery at Heppner,) and a deed is being prepared. Aj token offer of $1000 was madei the Lodge, and accepted with tne following reservations: the ceme tery is to revert to the Lodge if it should cease to be operated as a public cemetery; the name is to be retained. In view of the fact that the Masonic Lodge has operated the cemeterv for some seventy years, during which several generations! of Masons have given liberally ot tncir time anct enon toward its maintenance, it is felt that their wishes should be followed in this regard, as a sort of me morial. Also, the district is not in a position to refuse this re quest, as there is no doubt lhat it is this cemetery that the people wish to repair and maintain, not new one in a more remote place. The tax levy of 3 mills is ex pected to bring in about $9,000, of which over $K100 is now in the county treasury. It should be apparent that up to this time there would not be much that the directors could do, beyond the routine organization of the district, there being neither cemeteries to maintain, nor funds with which to do so. From now on, however, some action may be expected. Among the first things the board expects to Ho with the Heppner cemetery are the laying out and improve ment of streets and the arrange-' ment of facilities for irrigation.! Soon equipment for maintenance! will have to be purchased, and one or more persons hired to do the work. Considerable money will have to be spent this year, getting things started. It is hoped that the tax levy can be reduced from now on to one mill. Since the 1053 meeting of the state legislature made it possible to include personal property in the district valuation, a one-mill levy should raise about $1000. The law applying to cemetery maintenance districts permits the establishment of a permanent fund, partly from the money raised bv lew, and from the sale of lots and contributions. Severs citizens have expressed a willing, ness to make contributions to the fund, which, of course, will be gratefully received, whether large or small, with the hop" that we will someday he able to give our (cmetery perptual care from the interest on the fund. Th" willingness of the people to e: tablish the district and pay a tax for its use assure tr--' di liirs mat a weil Kept eerieiery be.-ntiful as -they ea 1 af'ord. their desire, and it is the pur se of the hoard to work eon- kv.. iously toward that end.

There 'iris nresent and several indicated interest in the Fresh Oranges for Tasty Winter Salads AiSlii -n-iiiTinir.ii.irT- i Tim?lSMmamtMSnm im mi 11 I Hi ll nil i Winter salads are best of all when they're refreshing and tangy good tasting and good for you, too. Plump California orange cartwheel slices spark any winter salad, are specially good when combined with other fruits. And, in addition to all that fine flavor, you get quantities of vitamin C, as well as protopectins, and other healthful nutrients found in the "meat" of whole oranges something to remember during the cold, wet winter season. A handsome, easy to prepare salad like the one pictured will be the center of attraction on the company or family table. Arrange cartwheel slices of California oranges in parallel rows on a big chop plate or serving platter. Tuo alternating rows of apple and banana slices be tween them, fringe the edges with curly leaf lettuce and garnish with maraschino cherries for color contrast. Guests will be eager to help themselves from this attractive plate. Lemon French dressing is the perfect accompaniment for this salad. California navel oranges will be coming into the markets soon now be on the lookout for them. These are the ideal eating oranges they're seedless and easiest of all to peel. Sweet and juicy, too, just right for salads. JOLLY CHEFS The Jolly Chefs cooking 3 club met at Colemans Saturday, Janu ary 9th. Our Leader. Mrs. Baker, gave a demonstration on baking an apple pie.
