Compll menu are heard from far and near. Bob resolved to tace the sidewalk sale which some merchant nld Jut couldn't be dor.e successfully her. It had been con aidered before, but none had the determination to tee tt through until this UvewUv man came alone. He resolved that it was coin to be a rrrat thing for the town, mustered support from businesses and organization and kept at tt through the success ful culmination. . . It waa evident that moat businesses la town caught tt aplrlt of It Some blossomed out with really novel Ideas, and the result waa a carnival atmosphere unequalled aince com. munitiea throughout the atate observed the State a centennlaJ In 1959. . Even-or had fun merchants, organization, ahopperf and -isitora. While there U no disguUlng the fart that Vocal Jlrma wanted to create business In the Sidewalk Sale, it turned out to be that tma waa aecondary In Importance. The prime pur txe aeemed to be to have good time and to ittge an eent that eveoone enjoyed. An evaluation at thla time ahowa that It accomplished all purpose. With auch a good start there la little doubt that the Side walk Bazaar will be an annual event At this time plans are underfoot to call a merchant' meeting to compare notea, de termine what might be Improved and point towards an even better Bazaar next year. While many contributed to the success of the affair espec ially with the spirit displayed Bob Henry must receive a lion's share of credit He did the Job. Hearty thanks are due. too. to outsiders who came along and contributed so much. How can folks adequately thank someone like Buck Lieuallen. who drove his authentic stage coach for two solid days without any charge on his part lor the enjoyment of the kids and to help the Jaycees with their projects? But while Buck Uvea in Pendleton, he isn't an outsider. Morrow county will always claim a big share of him. Such things as the Sidewalk Bazaar put a new spark Into the old town and show our people off as the warm hearted friendly folks that they are. With such fine response from the public it is sure that more such events will be held m the future. ASC Report Shows Scope of Operations A report of David McLeod, office manager of the Morrow county ASC committee, shows the Importance of operations of the committee in the county. In submitting the report McLeod states that agriculture and agricultural related businesses account for 90 of the total income in Morrow county. The Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation committee administers a number of federal farm programs, relating pri marily to stabilization of farm income and encouraging in creased soil and water conservation work. Here is a summary of the committee's activities in the county during the past year: Agricultural Conservation Program: Improved drainage sys tem and developing permanent vegetative cover are the major soil and water conservation needs of the county. Last year in the county, farmers installed 2.7 thousand feet of drain tile on 27 acres of cropland. They planted 528 acres of permanent pasture. In addition, conservation practices of 1,407 acres of stripcropping, 71350 linear feet of diversion ditches and 3,924 acres of stubble mulching, and many others were established. In doing this, farmers spent $57,964 of their own money and $40,675 of public money through the ACP cost-sharing approach. Wool Incentive Program: Since 1954, Congress has author ized a wool program aimed at encouraging and maintaining a domestic wool Industry large enough to supply minimum needs during an emergency. Each year a part of the tariff on imported wool Is used to support the national average wool price at 62c a pound. In this county last year, $28,193 was paid to wool growers under this program. Wheat Stabilization Program: Diversion and price support payments, of $454301 were received by county farmers for diverting 8,744 acres from wheat production Feed Grain Program: Diversion and price support payments, of $168,094 were paid to participating farmers for diverting 6,669 aces from barley production. Wheat and barley loans in the amount of $2,506,936 were made to producers on their 1963 production. These loans were repaid with interest at 3 percent except for $43,688 for which the commodity was delivered in satisfaction of the loan amount Members of the committee this year are Roy Partlow, Orville Bowling Alley RE-OPENS Monday, July 20-10:30 a.m. TEEN NIGHT Monday Night - 8:00 p. m.

I havf ploughed and planted every day aw t; i since my arrival, ana l minx x will get through in about two dyas more. I have not traveled over the country any since I got in nere, so i can not leu you much about it. The climate I do think is the finest I ever saw rvwhprp in mv travpls. We rio not have the heavy winds of the coiumDia, ana it is jusi cooj enoueh at night to be comfort able. The soil that I have ploughed in the low river bottom, is a rich loam, ana to ail appear ances will produce well. The season here appears to be far advanced, and I fear I am too latt to raise much of a crop this season. There are a great many claims yet vacant. A man can cerlainlv suit himself here in selecting a claim, for he can get a big larm or a smau one, or a bis stork ranch with meadow lands in any quantity, and ever- lasting hill range for miles around, which are covered with the best bunch erass I ever saw and the most of it to the acre, with timber and water In abund- dance.

It is an easy aay s nae irom here to Willow Creek on the road lpadine- from The Dalles to Umatilla, where it Is windy in summer and cold in winter. Bui it is no use for me to attempt to give a description of this valley or its climate, one has to see for himself to realize its numerous hantfps. The easiest and short- i est route to come here is to come up Rock Creek to Mr. rorces ranch, then take the timber road to the timber, then follow the 'blazed trail' to Junction Bar, end then down across the country to the John Day river.
