Build Market Road
The proposed Butter Creek high
way, which when built will run
from Lena on the south fork north
through this city, and for which a
ten mill tax for part of its construc
tion was voted last week at a special
election in road district No. 45. has
already been declared a market road
by the state highway commission.
With the money from the special tax
of the above district and that ex
pected from the taxpayers in Morrow
county, together with the money to
be derived through state and federal
aid, an excellent highway will be
built. According to Allen Thomp
son of the state highway commiss-
ion surveys have already been Or-
dered.
Gasoline Takes a Jump
The garages in Hermiston have
agreed on a uniform price of 30

COUNTRY PRESS IS FARM
ERS TRAVELING SALESMAN
At the last regular meeting of
the Amercan Legion It was voted by
the organization to give two dances,
one in Hermiston on December 12
and one In Stanfield on
December
19. The music is going to be some-
thing out of the ordinary, for an ef
fort extraordinary is being made to
secure a good orchestra or Jazz
band from Portland that will put
pep in the music and life in the
dance. To these functions every-
body is invited and assured a good
time.
Another thing of Interest to the
community is the organization of a
rifle club and the securing of gov
ernment arms and ammunition. If
this can be done the boys propose
to fix up a permanent range and ar
range for several good matches at
different times during the coming
year that will be worth while at
tending. Among the ranks of the
Legion are a number of sharpshoot-
ers and expert riflemen, and Hiere
seems to be no reason why the Her
miston Post cannot have a winning
team.
James Todd was unanimously
elected to fill the vacancy on the
executive committee.
The Legion has almost every ex-
service man's name on the rolls nt
the present time, but those few who
have not joined are urged to sign up
light away and get into the great
est organization in America.
