the preceding gloom, and the Show
went merrily on. Early yesterday a

exceptional music and all enjoyed
the moving picture show.
I The School Industrial exhibits are
magnificent, and is said to be one
of the best ever put on in the coun-

local dairymen at the Hotel Hermis-

in the Auditorium.

Reclamation Men Visit
Morris Bean, assistant to the di
rector of the reclamation service,
visited this project the latter part
of last week. While here he was
the guest of Project Manager H. M.
Schilling. Business men of this
city got up a banquet at the Hotel
Oregon in his honor Friday night of
last week, at which were represen-
tative business men of Stanfield.
Echo, Umatilla, Irrigon and Board-
man. This ovation Mr. Bean appre-
dated very much. The crux of a
speech made at that time by the
gentleman was that all irrigation
interests all over the United States
should line up for a unanimous de
mand on Congress for the develop-
ment of the general resources of the
whole country.
Then on Tuesday Will R. King,
chief counsel for the U. S. R. S„
F. E. Weymouth, chief of construc
tion, and H. L. Holgate, district
counsel located at Portland, came
and looked over the project and con
sulted with the project manger on
matters pertaining to this irrigation
district. Judge King also held a
meeting with Attorney J. T. Hinkle,
who is local counsel for the recla
mation service.

years ago was one of the many well
known cattle buyers in Eastern
Oregon. At that time he was locat

Bob Stanfield, then just making a
