COMMITTEES CONSIDER
CREAMERIES CONSOLIDATION
Four directors of the Stanfield
Creamery Co. met Thursday evening
in the Library here with six mem-
bers of the board of directors of the
Hermiston Cooperative Creamery.
The meeting was the’outcome of
overtures being made by both cor
porations that they get together and
ascertain if amicable agreement
could not be reached whereby con
solidation could be brought about.
The discussion brought out the
point that consolidation would be a
good thing for both concerns, and it
would seem from the trend of the
talk at the latter part of the meet-
Ing that all that will be necessary
now is the working out of details
incident to consolidation by the ab-
sorption of the stock of one con-
cern. increased capitalization by the
one that absorbs the other and the
reissuing of stock in the new cream
ery company to the members of the
one absorbed.
This, of course, is simply a pre-
eurser of what may be done when a
vote is taken at mass meetings that
may be called of the stockholders of
the two creameries. The tendency
seems to be that the -owners of the
Stanfield creamery are willing to
become part of the Hermiston Co-
operative Creamery by dissolving
the concern there and taking stock
in the creamery here.

BIG FOURTH OF JULY CELE
The United States Civil Service
Commission has announced an ex
amination for the county of Mor-
row, Oregon, to be held at Hermis-
ton, on July 12, 1919, to fill the po-
sltion of rural carrier at Boardman.
The examination will be open only
to citizens who are actually domi
ciled in the territory of a postoffice
in that county and who can meet«
the other requirements set forth in
Form No. 1977. This form and ap-
plication blanks may be obtained
from the offices mentioned above or
from the United States Civil Servies
Commission at Washington, D C.
Applications should be forwarded- to !
the Commission at Washington at

New License Law
E. P. Dodd has on display in his
office the first real estate license
sent to town under the new law.
This law requires that any person
who sells or leases property for an
other must have a license from the
state. The real estate dealer or
broker must secure the endorse
ment, as a responsible dealer, of ten
reliable citizens and give a bond
for $10,000 before a license can be
issued. The law provides that if
misrepresentations are made the
purchaser will be protected. This
law is designed to elevate the stand
ing of the real estate business and
protect, the public from the opera-
.tions of dishonest dealers and curb
stone operators. It is very definite
in its statement that no one, can
sell property for another without
a license, and there is a fine and
imprisonment penalty provided for
its infraction.
