Fourteen oounties and one city, that of Portland, which is a separate dis trict in itself, furnished men in excess of their draft requirements. How ever, this excess will not be carried to iheir credit against the next draft. It is said that Oregon’s quota is 717, and the drawing was held yesterday. “WATER GRADE” NOW TO DE TDE SLOGAN Ever since the harvesting of the first cutting of alfalfa in the Hermis ton district the hay chopping and ba • ing machines have been kept busy manufacturing and putting the finish ed commodity on board cars prepara The Co-operative Columbia High tory to shipment to the Portland mar way held a most enthusiastic meeting ket. in Arlington last Tuesday, which was Combining the total of cars shippe ! followed by a huge banquet given by the Arlington Commercial club Over from here by Mr. McNaught with those a hundred delegates from towns along shipped by Wm Leathers, nearly one t.be Columbia were present, those from thousand tons of alfalfa left the pro here being such well known boosters ject in the past, month and a half.

Com minees were also appointed to inter view the county courts to secure funds for building roadbeds and grading. WILL DO A LITTLE MISSIONARY WORK B. F. Knapp, of the local real estate firm of Dodd & Knapp, departed Sun day on a ten days’ trip to Montana. While away he will combine business with pleasure. He visited at Richland and Spokane, Wash., on the outward trip, and thence journeyed to Havre, Mont., to visit relatives and Hingham, in the same state, to attend important business matters. But, withal, he will not lose sight of the fact that be has a mission to per form—and that is to boost the Hermis ton valley in a bona fide manner by the distribution of statistical literature printed by The Herald prior to his de parture. It will amaze the denizens of that short summer and long winter country when they read of the wonderful pro ductiveness of the soil in this irrigated .ection, where the climate is mild the year round and ranchers are yearly becoming a little belter fixed. When they read and think of four cuttings of alfalfa hay here to only one of any kind of hay crop over there no doubt they will envy the residents of this favored spot the good fortune that directed their steps to this garden of Eden, and mayhap many of them will, ere long, pack their belongings after HERMISTON FIFTY-FOUR William Lawrence Kimble........... 2026 selling out and come here and settle.

It consists of a pebble dash finish on a metal lath base on the porch of the residence of J. D. Watson. This novel porch, which is the on y one in the city finished in stucco, has been viewed by many passersby and visitors to the residence since its com- pletion, and the skill and workman- ship displayed therein by Mr. Notz will go a long way toward establish ing for him an enviable reputation in that line of cement plastering. Mr. Boynton, who executed the car penter work, done a very neat job on the porch and alterations to the house, which was very pleasing to his em ployer. DERMISTON COUPLE WED AT VANCOUVER An Item of news which will be of interest to Hermiston people is the marriage of Lorena Callbeck, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. F. Callbeck of Hermiston, to Patrick O’Golder of the machine gun corps. 44th Infantry, Vancouver, Wash. The wedding was performed by the county judge in the court bouse, Portland, on July 12 Mrs. O'Golder will make her home in Vancouver until the regfment is called to France, when she will probably go to Tacoma. HAWAIIAN SHOW NEXT TUESBAY EVENING Kulola’s Hawaiian« will be the at traction at the Auditorium theatre next Tuesday evening. The music lov ers of this city are assured the treat of the season in the way of a Hawaiian music night. It is a very timely event, as the country has suddenly gone mad over Hawaiian music. The Hula Hula dance is seen and the languorous twang of the ukalele is heard in all the out of door parks and on the verandas of the big summer hotels. Even New York’s Broadway has heard the call of the seductive Island music. Kulola’s Hawaiiens, six in number, come perhape with a better endorse ment than any Hawaiiens that have played heretofore. They have played at all the larger fairs, such as Panama Pacific, San Diego, and io larger cities of the country. The vocal and musical program ren dered by local people at the Baptist church Thursday evening was thor oughly enjoyed by the good sized audi- ence In attendance. Each number re ceived rounds of applause, and several of the participants responded to con- days. Jesse Tabor of Wallace, Idaho, Is here looking after his ranch. F. E.

FREAK WELL ON THE BRIERLEY RANCH BEWBERBIES ANB APRICOTS ARE RIPE LABOR TROUBLES CAUSE FBR EXOOUS | For the fiscal year ending June 1, 1917, the O. W. railroad transported 300 cars of bay alone out of Hermiston, according to Agent Woughter, not mentioniog the hay tonnage shioped over the cutoff from the western ex tension of the project. With new land being improved and sown lo alfálfa yearly, the exporta tion of this commodity is becoming heavier, and it is expected the hay tonnage out of here this year will be heavier by far than at any former time. SECOND CROP NOW DEING HARVESTED The second cutting of alfalfa has kept most of the farmers busy all this week, and present indications are that tonnage will go far ahead of expecta tions owing, it is said, to the excellent growing weather of the past month. Hay is commudinz good prices for this time of the year, selling locally around $12—which price tickles the heart of the average rancher im mensely. Evidently the farmers are getting around the labor shortage by helping one another to a great extent in the different localities in the project . This is assumed, for the reason that seldom we hear any of the growers complaining of a scarcity of labor.
