T he VOL. XIV I ERMISTON HERMISTON, UMATILLA COUNTY, OREGON, SATURDAY, APRIL 3. 1920 UNPATENTED LANDS TO GO ON ASSESSMENT ROLLS The proposition of bringing un patented lands in this part of Uma tilla county to the taxable point was brought up again at the Commercial Club luncheon at the Hotel Oregon Cafe Tuesday. As a result the com mittee on this met with Project Man ager H. M. Schilling at the local reclamation offices Tuesday evening, when a list of unpatented lands on the project was compiled and later sent to County Assessor Strain for entry on the tax rolls. Members of the Club talked about telephone matters, and this brought about an expression of opinion to the effect that the commercial or ganization must help the country people, who it was claimed were get ting the worst of it from the tele phone company, inasmuch as no ap parent effort is being made to give the ruralites adequate service. It was pointed out that many applica tions had been made for installation of country phones, and that the com pany has utterly ignored these re quests. The next thing taken up was the modification of the city charter in order that the city council could be authorized to issue warrants in suf ficient amounts to take care of the proposed street and sidewalk im provements to be inaugurated here this spring and summer. This work, as now contemplated, will necessi tate an expenditure of approximately 37500, and will include much street and sidewalk building on both the East and West Side. This expense, of course, must be borne by the property benefited, but the pay ments will be easy, as they will be arranged to extend over a certain period. The Club went, on record as being in favor of calling a special election to change the city charter to conform to the foregoing, and fur ther, that the Club support forth coming action by the council in this movement. The «hospital said that it had no report to make, but hoped to have one for next meeting. WATER USERS’ MEET ING WELL ATTENDED There was a large gathering of farmers at the annual meeting of the Umatilla River Water Users’ As sociation held in Mack’s hall last Saturday afternoon. The meeting was presided over by Col. J. F. Mc- Naught, president of the associa tion, who in his annual address spoke for over an hour on conditions relating to the project at the present time. He conveyed to the assem blage statistics furnished by Secre tary W. J. Warner which showed the total Indebtedness to the gov ernment to be well up In the thous- ands, and stated that this deficit must be wiped out by entering into a proposed contract between the di rectors of this irrigation district and the government to guarantee its payment. When this is done the way will have been paved for access to federal loans by farmers desiring them, and when that time comes the president said he had visions of the project going ahead by leaps and bounds. During the meeting it was point ed out by the presiding officer that the reclamation service was in sore straits on account of being unable to secure help to do concrete work on the canal that is being remodeled at the Cold Springs reservoir, and said that unless the water users helped out at this particular time water could not be turned on until the first of May. Volunteers were called for, and this met with hearty response among those present, with the result that the work is now go ing merrily on. and it is now con ceded it will be nearly finished on schedule time. The final act before adjournment was the election of officers for this year. This did not take long, for a motion. prevailed that the old board be re-elected, and this carried unanimously.

O. Sutherland Friday afternoon of last week. Mr. Sutherland was giv- ing the boy a lift to his home two miles east, and had slowed down to let him off. After alighting he must have slipped, with the result that a hind wheel of the truck passed over him. After first aid had been given Dr. Adams was called. Examination showed a broken right thigh at the hip and a bone cracked in his left thigh lower down from the wheel having passed over him diagonally. ¡The patient is now receiving medi- cal attention and good care in the local hospital, where he is getting along nicely. The injury was purely accidentally received, and ño blame attaches to the driver of the truck.

If it is administered when the petals are out bees are almost sure to be poisoned, much brood will be killed and many times valuable queens will bo lost. About -the first thing one notices during fruit bloom ing time, if trees are sprayed while in bloom, is that a good deal of the brood dies, until the bee keeper be gins to wonder whether his bees have foul brood, black brood or pick- led brood, unless the truth dawns on him that they have been carrying in poisonous liquids from the t rees that have Just been sprayed. Various experiments have been conducted along this line and are very conclusive, and irrespective of any interest of the bee keeper, the fruit grower himself can not afford to spray during fruit blooming time, because spray liquids that are suf ficiently strong to kill insect pests are decidedly harmful to the delicate reproductive organs and to the pollen of the flower as well. Some spray fluids are not poison ous, as for example the lime-sul- phur washes, the kerosene and other emulsions of crude oil, but oven these should not be sprayed when the trees are in bloom. Hellebore or any of the Bordeaux mixtures, espe- cially if they contain parts green or any of the arsenates, will be poison ous of course, but such fluids are. also too strong for the delicate pis tils and stamens of the flower. The idea of the bee men is to get the fruit growers to cooperate with them In the matter by being careful with their spraying, and tn turn the bees supply the necessary agent to the proper pollination of fruit bloss oms, and to realize that their in dustries are mutually dependent one on the other. COUNTY CBNFERENCE CHURCH MOVEMENT The Umatilla county conferirne of the Interchurch World Movement will he held In Pendleton M.
