Lands to be Reclaimed
Agreement was reached Monday
between members of congress and
Secretary of the Interior Lane on a
bill for reclamation of western arid
lands to give work and farms to dis­
charged soldiers.
The measure Is a compromise be­
tween bills drawn by Representa­
tive Mondell, Wyoming, and Sena­
tor Smoot, Utah.
It provides that soldiers shall be
employed in reclamation of arid
lands at $4 a day. They are to be
privileged to homestead such re-
claimed lands under a long term
payment plan. Each soldier is to be
entitled to an advance from the gov­
ernment of $1200 for erection of a
house .and other buildings; $800 for
a team and farm implements, and
$500 for other purposes.
The agreement on this bill came
at a conference called by Lane and
attended by Representative Mon-
del], republican leader of the house;
Champ Clark, democratic leader;
Representatives Kinkaid, Nebraska,
and Sinnott, Oregon and Senators
Smoot, Utah, and Myers, Montana,
Lane expressed the hope that the
compromise plan will succeed in
overcoming the opposition which
developed last session and which
prevented passage of any measure
for giving the soldiers land. An ef­
fort will be made to get an early re­
port from the house and senate pub-
lie lands committee.

BIG MEMORIAL DAY
PARADE AND EXERCISES
TRANS-ATLANTIC AIR FLIGHT
Because of its new and greater
significance, this year. Decoration
Day will be observed with more ela-
splendid
borate ceremonies, and
program has been prepared for cele
brating the day in Hermiston. The
committee in charge of arrange­
ments is composed of soldiers of the
Civil War, the Spanish American
War and some of the boys of the
late war and other local citizens.
B. F. Strohm, who bore the colors
in 1861, will be the marshal of the
day. The exercises will be held at
the auditorium at 11 o’clock Friday
morning, May 30. A parade will
form promptly at 10:30 near the
telephone building on Main street
and all patriotic citizens with auto­
mobiles are expected to decorate
their cars with the national colors
and form in line in time to cause
no delay.
The parade will be led by Mar-
shal Strohm and the veterans of the
Civil War, followed by the veterans
of the Spanish-American War and
I he soldier and sailors of the recent
world conflict. Martial music will
be provided. Automobiles will then
fall in line of march through town
to the auditorium, where an appro­
priate program will be given. Rev.
Gallaher will deliver the address
and Mr. Voelker will be in charge
of the musical numbers.
Decoration Day is a legal holi­
day. Stores will be closed, and it is
expected that work will generally
be suspended and all who can will
attend the exercises. Picnic facili­
ties have been provided on the large
lawn at the home of B. F. Strohm,
and people from country and citi­
zens of the town are invited to join
in a general picnic in the shade of
the trees after the exercises at the
auditorium are over. Musical en­
tertainment will be provided at the
picnic grounds.
At three o’clock in the afternoon
a ball game between the married
men and the single men will be play­
ed at the grounds near the school-
house, and it promises to be some
game, as both sides have talent of
no mean degree. This will be the
first ball game here for several
years, so everybody come.
The efforts on the part of Ameri­
can and British airmen to establish
the fact that an airship can safely
cross the Atlantic is meeting with
some success and many reverses.The
NC-4, the lone surviving entry of
the American navy for the first
trans-Atlantic flight honors, reach­
ed Pona Delgada, Azores, early in
the week, and has probably by this
time hopped off on the 800 mile
dash to Lisbon. Portugal. The ob
jective point is Plymouth, England.
Harry’Hawker, the British air­
man, who undertook to make a non
stop trip in a light plane, has been
given up as lost, nothing having
been heard or seen of him or his as­
sistant since the start was made the
first of the week. The supposition
is that something happened to
cause the air craft to become dis-
aided and that it dropped Into the
sea and sunk shortly after the trip
began.

Because of the growth of the
schools In the several districts
the Hermiston country and on the
Western Land and Irrigation Com-
pany project, a movement has been
started to establish a Union High
School.
The school boards of the several
districts have been considering the
proposition for sometime, and have
recently circulated petitions to the
District Boundary Board asking for
the establishment of a Union High
School, and calling for an election
on June 16 The school districts In­
terested are the Hermiston District,
Columbia District, Minnehaha and
Westland Districts. The election
will be on the regular school elec­
tion day. The advantages of a
Union High School are well known.
Where several districts Join togeth-
er they are belter able to have a
higher grade of High School and
better equipment than where the
district undertakes such work alone.
It Is especially desirable to small­
er districts which arc unable to
maintain a high school of any kind.
Students graduating from the grad­
es can then attend the union high
school and receive the same training
as those in the larger towns and al-
so credits that will admit them to
college. The high school In our edu­
cational system has grown into
great Importance, and a four yea r
course In a good high school now Is
considered almost equivalent to the
college education of a number of
years ago. It also has been brought
within the reach of many more
young men and women under the
unionized system.
In many localities throughout the
state the union high school has been
adopted and it Is hoped that, every
person who is interested In good
schools In this vicinity will attend
the polls on June 16 and vote for
the now Union High School.
