Ice cream served, and each and all show- hat they appreciated the good gs of life as presented at the er. here was about 125 present, and feast was simply a precurser of re good times for our dairymen. IMPROVEMENT IN RURAL MAIL DELIVERY SERVICE Conflicting TTioughts MOST OF RECONSTRUCTION SECURES COUNTY MONEY FOR BILLS WERE DEFEATED DAIRY AND HOG SHOW MOTHER In Umatilla county the only bill in the special election held Tuesday was the measure known as the Sol­ diers Educational Bill, and even it had a close shave, only carrying by nine votes. A dispatch from Portland Thurs­ day says that the reconstruction measures that have carried are the 6 per cent indebtedness , the Roose­ velt highway bill, the soldiers aid. market roads and irrigation drain­ age district interest guarantee. THE TUESDAY LUNCHEON BECOMING VERY POPULAR BUILD NO MORE BOARD SIDE- WALKS—MUST BE CONCRETE The Tuesday 12:30 luncheon held this week in the Oregon Hotel Cafe is becoming popular, as was demon­ strated by 25 attendants. The hour was too short to allow full discus- sion of all “topics, but the commit- tee named at the former meeting reported that a site for an automo- bile camping ground for tourists had been found. This committee was instructed to get an option on the same and proceed to prepare it for use. Another committee was authoriz- ed to design or arrange words for an appropriate Hermiston pennant as a means of advertising our city by placing them on autos and display- ing them elsewhere. Another active committee will implore the O. W. R. & N. to arrange night service at the depot and place warning bells at the dangerous crossings. *The postmaster was delegated to convince the rural patrons to print names on their mail boxes, and Mr. Sapper agreed to do the lettering on all boxes brought in to him. The secretary of the Commercial Club was instructed to arrange new and reliable literature bearing facts concerning the Hermiston project. Everyone present exhibited lively . interest, and the Tuesday luncheon is a fixed matter to all who care for the welfare of our community. Several auto loads of Hermiston business men boosters, and likewise a number of farmers went to Pen- ■Beton Wednesday and attended a meeting of the county fair bord. They were after an appropriation from that body to help out In the expense that will be incurred put­ ting on the three day show this fall, and were successful in securing an appropriation of $1350. The board controls $2100 of the state fair funds, and of this $75 0 was appropriated for the school in dustrial fail’s, one of which will be TARZAN OF THE APES” AT held here the same time as the dairy THE AUDITORIUM TONIGHT show. CAN I TAKE A BATH, HUH ? At a meeting of the city council Thursday night a motion prevailed that the city attorney be instructed to draw up an ordinance which will have for its purpose the abolishing of all future building of board side­ walks in the city of Hermiston, and that hereafter only concrete side- walks will be allowed. This is a good move, and it is hoped the civic body will go a step further and or­ der at once the removal of a few of the derelict sidewalks now existing in the "main part of town and have them replaced with concretes ones. The recorder was instructed to notify Peter Norquist to-tear down the remainder of the old Hermiston livery barn that he owns on the West Side. The park commission and the City attorney were instructed to look af­ ter the matter of a wafer right for the city park located near Hermis- ton Butte. « Millions who have read and mar- veled at Tarzan as he is portrayed by Edgar Rice Burroughs arc now much enjoying seeing the story portrayed in film. The Movie here has gone to great expense in secur­ ing a booking of this now famous motion picture, and those who at­ tend the show tonight at the Audi- torium will witness this great white giant, Elmo Lincoln, portraying Tarzan as the leading man In the drama. Some of the finest bits of action ever seen on the screen are found in "Tarzan of the Apes.” The fight between sailors and officers aboard a vessel is an excellent bit of acting. Tarzan’s struggle with a lion, as well as his fight with a native ne­ gro, are excellent pictures of a most exciting character. Read the big display ad elsewhere in this issue, and don't fail to be VII hand to witness the play. COLUMBIA NEWS NOTES SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE Effective June 16th R. F. D.
