T he H ermiston H erald VOL. XIV HERMISTON, UMATILLA COUNTY, OREGON. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 8. 1919 LI WINESETT IS NOW REAL ? _ N Eli Winesett, who up till now has en content to be known as a de- ure alfalfa rancher, has all of a dden sprung into prominence by unging into the honey bee indus- y. Since his advent here from old irginia nearly two years ago Mr. inesett has shown a fondness for es in a small way, paying more ttention to the raising of alfalfa n his big ranch just east of this ty. But gradually he became inocu- ted with a desire to delve deeper ito bee culture. This desire came ith a gradual realization that here as the ideal country for su«h an dustry. He studied the pros and ms until he became thoroughly onvir.ced that his hunch was the ight one, and then he sallied forth nd bought bees with a lavish hand. Before he got through he had aid out the munificient sum of 3000, but he’s got the goods to how for the expenditure—having ought 215 stands from George Sha- tr, 67 from Joe Maggs, 100 from 1rs. Miller and 39 from J. H. Pryor, ie now has 900 stands, counting in what he already had of his own, and he estimates that by this time next year he will have his $3000 back in the sale of products from the bees and have that much or more in pro fits from the apiary, besides the in crease in colonies. Time will show that there is a method in Eli’s apparent madness at the the present time, for he’s bound to be raking in the shekels from his bees with the opening of next spring.

Therefore the serving of short order meals at the hotel, and beginning today, also, the dining hours at the hotel change, and from now on all who wish meals served will be able to secure them at any time between 6 a. m. and 10 p. m.

Creek district last Sunday evening. and before the many who were In attendance at the gathering ad- jour ned Io go home well defined plans were laid by them for the in- augurai ion of a movement which has for its purpose the building of a water grade highway from Lena in Morrow county down Butter Creek to an intersection with the Columbia highway at Hermiston and thence on to the city of Uma tilla and the Columbia river. Gathered at the meeting were representative good roads boosters from Heppner and the Heppner country, from all over the Butter Creek district and from Hermiston and Umatilla. The meeting was unanimous In the belief that a Lena-to-the-Co- lumbia river highway is urgently needed at the present time in order to give the ranchers of Upper and Lower Butter Creek an outlet for their products, and this resulted In the appointing of delegates, who are now busy conferring with the coun ty courts of both Umatilla and Mor row counties In an endeavor to se cure an appropriation for the con- struction of the proposed highway. The state highway commission has signified that it will help In the building, and if it should be decided to make of It a post road, then gov- ernment money will be available also.
