When the news reached here the

atronized the river boats to quite an

For some lime it looked as if there
ould be no steamer traffic on the Col-
mbit this year, for the reason That
he operators of the fleet that was on
se river last year had given up the
host and decided to quit. Since then,
nd in fact for the past three months,
very effort has been put forth by
eople along the Snake and Columbia

The movement is largely in the na-

SOLDIERS MAY HELP
HARVEST THE CROPS
While it is the opinion among ran-
chers generally that the labor shortawe
will not be felt much here, for the rea­
son that neighboring far ners will help
one another by rotation, nevertheless
should the men farming large areas be
pressed too ba d for farm laborers,
hey now see their way clear to har­
vest their crops by falling back on the
oider of the war department issued
last month, wherein soldiers will be
furloughed for farm work in rush sea­
sons this year.
Ranchers desiring to take advantage
of this order must make application on
blank forms that can be had on appli­
cai ion io the local draft board, which
they must then fill out, giving their
own names, the work to be done, the
name of the soldier desired for the
work and the date on which they
are to stat t farming operations. This
must be in affidavit form, duly acknow.
I dg d. Il is then sent to the local
draft board, whose members either en­
dorse or reject the appi icalion. If
they approve it, it is sent to the coup
ty agricultural agent and passed upon
by him. If it meets with his approval
it is sent to the soldier, who joins in the
application. It is then acted upon by
the commandant where the soldier is
stationed. Groups of soldier also may
be fur oughed on request of farmers in
the same manner as above.
HERMISTON ATHLETES

BOARDMAN BUSINESS
MAN SELLS RANCH
J A. Gibbons, of the general mer­
chandise firm of Gibbous & Cramer of
Boardman, informed us while we were
in that town the lirai of the week that
he had just disposed of a 40-acre ranch
that he owned southwest of Boardman
to a gentleman named Burroughs of
Condon. He bad 18 acres in alfalfa,
and the buyer is uow putting the bal-
ance of the 40 Into that crop. The
price paid was $3222
Mr. Gibbons, it will be remembered,
secured 80 acres one-fourth of a mile
from Boardman at the time of the land
drawing last M arch, and he has made
arrangements to have 40 acres of the
80 seeded to alfalfa thia summer.
The farmers and business people of
Boardman certainly benefited themsel-
ves and their children when they all
banded tog ther and subcribed funds
sufficient to put in a library thai haa
volumes on nearly every known sub-
ject. There are seven and one-bait
tons of these books, ard they came
from the A. O. U. W. library at Port­
land, which had decided to discard the
library feature from Ils organisation,
and therefore sold ihe books and furni­
ture at a very low figure to the Board­
man people.
