ONE LONE HORSE IS
CAUSE OF TROUBLE
HUGE BUILDING IS
BEING CONSTRUCTED
A horse Ibas was held to be balky
by the principal aud witnesses on one
side and a true puller by principals
and witnesses on the other was a case
that occupied nearly the whole day in
Justice of the Peace E. P. Dodd’s
court Tuesday of this week. It was
entitled Cha-. Kiser, plaintiff, vs. Mr.
and Mrs. H. A. Belscamper, defend­
ants, the suit having been brought by
plaintiff to recover money paid to de-
fendants on an alleged balky horse
that he bad bought from them and
which be had returned. W. J. War­
ner was attorney for Mr. Kiser and
Roy Raley of Pendleton attorney for
Mr. and Mrs. Belscamper.
About twenty witnesses were exam-
ined, and from the evidence it would
be hard for a layman to decide which
side was entitled to the decision, but it
wouldn’t take him long to reach the
conclusion that the cost of the case
from all angles was a darn sight
larger than the worth of any $85 horse
he bad ever seen.
Now if it had been a plain, ordinary
borse trade no doubt a decision could
be banded down at once iu accord­
ance with the laws of the versatile
David Harum, but as it was a horse
sale, the court had to take it under
advisement in order to decide it under
the laws of Oregon.
Later—After the above had been
put in type the justice of the peace,
after considering the laws of the slate
in such matters for over tvo days and
reviewing the testimony, gave a decis­
ion in favor of the plaintiff.
The structural work on the alfalfa
meal manufacturing building being
built by C. S. McNaught on the west
side of the railroad st the head of
Mains'reet is well under way, and
with the work thereon progessing
steadily it will not be long before it is
ready for the placing of the machinery
that goes to make a fully equipped es­
tablishment for the h milling of alfalfa
bay in all its different phazes, together
with the manufacture of alfalfa meal.
' Much favorable comment is being
made over this valuable acquisition to
the business interests of Hermiston,
and the promoter is praised for open­
ing up this excellent and profitable
way to the ranchers to dispose of the
chief product of the valley.

fault with their wives’ conservation
measures as applied to the family food.
Since the work of preparing the foods
without some of the standard ingre
dients has not always been under sto- d,
resul.s have not always been promis
ing. Without help, it is as difficult
for a housewife to make bread without
wheat as it was for the children of
Israel to make bricks without slaw.
All such housewives now have the
opportunity 'o get the benefit of the
experimental work done by the state
college in which some excellent wheat-
less war breads were developed. Here
are two recommend'd by Dean Milam
of the O. A C. as being adapted to
average home conditions, and as being
satisfactory conservation food:
Steamed Rice Bread — i cup corn
meal, } cup rice flour, 2 3cup oat flour.
1 teaspoon sait, 1 teaspoon soda, 1-3 cup
molasses, 1 cup sour milk. Mix dry
ingredients. Mix molasses and sour
milk. Combine, put in a greased mold
and steam two hours. Makes one loaf.
Oat Flour Muffin—31 cups oat flour,
li cup milk, 4 tablespoons corn syrup,
8 teaspoons baking power, 1 teaspoon
salt, 2 tablespoons crisco, 2 eggs, beat
whites light.
At tbe contest held in the high
school assembly hall F iday evening to
select repre enatives for West Uma-
tills county in the county contest the
following were declared winners: Di-
vision A, Tom Bagan, Stanfield, no op
poaitiun; division B, Jane Gunn, H< r-
mistor; division C, Z a Bense), H r-
mis on; division D Frank Swayze,
Hermiston. The judges, who were
selected bv County Superintendent I.
E. Young, were Miss Grace Gilliam,
county treasurer, Mrs, C. H. William-,
and Mrs. E. F. Averill.
Though tbe decision went to Her-
tnistun in each contest where there
was competition, all events were close-
)v contested, and tbe other schools
have just cause to be proud of their
representative-. According to the
county rules the judges grade each
contestant on the four following points:
First, voice; second, interpretati n;
third, stage appearance and gesticula­
tion, and fourth, rhetorical effect.
The grades given by the three judges
are added, and the contestant receiv­
ing the highest total is declared win­
ner.
The judges stated that for the sake
of good feeling they would have liked
to divide up the honors, but according
o the rules no oilier decision could be
given. The result is highly gratifying
to all Hermiston people Interested in
school activities.
The finas will be held In Pendleton
