HERMISTON, UMATILLA COUNTY, OREGON, SATURDAY, JANUARX 13. 1917
SOCIETY LEARNS TO SKI
CLUB ELECTS
OFFICERS FOR NEW TEAR
Commercial club meeting Tuesday
was the best in many months, not onlv
from the point of attendance, but
interest and enthusiasm shown. There
seemed a greater willingness on the
part of all to take part in the dis­
cussions and the impression was gained
that with the new year there was a
determination to start off right.
The proposed road to Hinkle and on
across the river into and trough the
Meadows was reported on as having
been gone over by the viewers and the
matter will likely come up at the next
session of the court. The club went
on record as favoring all possible to
secure such a road.
H. O. Newport brought up the mat- •
ter of irrigation water for the city,
showing propertv owners inside the
two forties pay $1.50 per acre foot
while farmers can get it on a basis of
four feet for $1.50. This matter has
already been taken up by the council
and the secretary was instructed to |
write Congressman Sinnott, the Ore­
gon senators and reclamation officials
endorsing the city's action in asking
for a reduction.
The club endorsed the movement by
farmers and the creamery looking to a
closer co-operation of the two.
The committee on the 1917 dairy
show reported.the town meeting a
failure, but that the meeting at Colum­
bia more than made up for this and
the show was heartily endorsed. It
was announced that the farmers of the
east end would like to see the show in-
clude more farm products and that the
Neighborhood club was also heartily
in favor of the show.
After a discussion of various plans a
way of raising the money to pay the
hay bungalow deficit was found and
those bills are now all paid.
One of the p. inci pal mettere to come
up was the election of officers and
these were named:
President, C. O. Wainscott; vice-
pres., H. T. Fraser; sec.-treas., A. E.
Bensel; executive board, M. D.
Scroggs, T. A. Graham, E. P. Dodd,
F. A Phelps, J. J. Casserly.
Rev. Chapman, the new Baptist
pastor, was made chairman of an en­
tertainment committee and the new
officers were asked to arrange the next
meeting at the Hermiston auditorium
and make it one of the old time get-
together meetings. People not al­
ready members will have an oppor­
tunity to join and those members not
taking an active part will be urged to
attend and take a share in the work.

UMATILLA WOMEN NOW
IN COMPLETE CONTROL
Umatilla's set oí women officials
assumed office Tuesdiv evening and
the city hall was crowded. Tbe new
officials are Mrs. Laura J. Starcher,
mayor: Mrs. Bertha Cherry, recorder;
Mrs. Lola Merrick, treasurer; Mrs.
Stella Paulu, Mrs. Gladys Spinning,
Mrs. Anna Means and Mrs. Chauncey
Brownell, councilwomen. The other
two members of tbe council are men
bolding over.
Mayor Starcher appointed her com-
mittees, leaving the men out and then
bad her message read. She declined
to appoint a marshal on tbe ground
that it was an unnecessary expense as
long as t here is a deputy sheriff on the
streets. The council was asked to
take up at once the lighting of the
streets and other needed improve­
ments. In her message Mayor Starcher
said:
“There has been a great deal said
about the so-called petticoat govern-
ment and many wild speculation*
made as to how we would manage the
city affairs, being 'mere women.’ How
ever we will manage the affairs of this
municipality in a creditable manner
without a shadow of a doubt, and if I
did not believe that any woman on
this council was not as competent and
capable as any man who ever occupied
a chair in this conneil 1 would resign
right now.
“It is a long way from the early
steamboat days, when Umatilla was
tbe distributing point for all inland
towns of Eastern Oregon, and the day*
of wild Indians and cowboy* to the so-
called petticoat government, but we
are here, ladies, nevertheless, so let u*
all pull together for the improvement
of what is left of the once famous old
city.”
