T he H ermiston H erald VOL. XII HERMISTON, UMATILLA COUNTY, OREGON, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 20. 1917 LOOKS LIKE HERMISTON 23 DAIRY AND HOG SHOW WILL DE ATTRACTIVE LIBERTY BONDS = Since the visit of Major Richard Perirà of the United Slates engineering corps last Monday, at which time he made a thorough examination of the proposed army training camp site near this city, things have been doing by the committee of ten selected at a re- sent Commercial Club meeting to make every effort to have it located here. Immediately after • the departure of Major Parks, who seemed much im pressed with the site, part of the com mittee, namely, F. B. Swayze, Thomas Fraser and E. P. Dodd,’went to Port land, where, wich committees • from Pendleton, Stanfield and Arlington, they were successful in interesting the Chamber of Commerce of that city and the governor, who happened to be there at the time, in behalf of the es tablishment of the cantonment near Hermiston. • Since then news comes that practi cally all Oregon is a unit for having the camp placed in this section of the state, and. with Major Parks’ report and other data to be furnished by the local committee and forwarded to Washington, D. C., it is almost cer tain the government will recognize that the Hermiston site supercedes all others for the purposes for which it is intended, and that ere long an order will be issued for its establishment just west of this city.

' ANOTIER PIONEER IS LAID TO REST Tuesday morning at the home of her daughter, Mrs. C. B. Isaacs, in Pendle- ton, occurred the deat h of Mrs. Helen M.

Mr. Kun- sis died last Thanksgiving day. There are few living residents of the county WILL BOOST FOR TBE BERMISTON COUNTRY Rev. L. S. Chapman leaves next Monday for The Dalles to attend the Baptist state convention. Mr. Chap man will not only represent the inter ests of the Baptist church of Hermis- ton at this convention, but* will speak of the development work done on the project here and the opportunities offered to energetic people who want to get somewhere. The apples that will be displayed on the tables at the mens’ banquet will come from the different orchards of the Hermiston country, and will, no doubt, excite much favorable comment. Mr. Chapman is a good booster for the community, and being well ac quainted with many people in that part of the state, there is little fear but that he will be instrumental in interesting the heads of families desir- ing a change of location to come here and look over the project.
