XIV HERMISTON, UMATILLA COUNTY, OREGON, SATURDAY, APRIL 10. 1920 MOVEMENT STARTS FOR LAUNDRY IN HERMISTON There was a large attendance at the noonday luncheon of the Com mercial Club Tuesday at the Hotel Hermiston.

The chair man of this committee said that he had been advised that another man had been authorised put on at the depot and that team track was to be built by May and the freight depot is tobe improved by the building of an addition thereto. Mr. Grimes of the Troy Laundry at Pendleton spoke on the establish ment of a branch laundry In Hermis ton. He cited that this was the cen tral point of all the towns in the West End, and for that reason was the logical place for the establish ment of such an institution. He estimated that it would take about $4000 to get such an enterprise go ing, and he wanted the people here to finance the proposition by form ing a stock company. A committee was appointed to confer with the gentleman and look further Into the matter of a laundry for Hermiston. Miss Pendergast of the Pacific Coast Protective and Rescue Home, was introduced and spoke about the unmarried mother and the helpless babe, also the young girls that have a wrong conception of having a good time. She concluded her remarks by, a statement that *35,000 had been* raised for the erection of a home for homeless children of Oregon, but that *70,000 was needed, and that her mission here was to raise Hermiston’s quota toward this movement. Mrs. p Gallaher and Mrs. Momma were pre sent and eulogized the work of Miss Pendergast. Frank Waugaman spoke of a mar ket road to run from Umatilla on through Columbia District to con nect with the Cold Springs-Pendle ton highway. He wanted the Club to endore at least that part of the proposed highway that would bene fit Hermiston.

Lucky it hap pened where it did. for in the spill Mr. Winesett and his six year old son Lem were pinioned beneath the machine. Mr. Crossland heard the commotion and hurried to their sitance.

Root, Pres.) This community Is indebted to Geo. A. Cressy and to other promo tera of the 1919 Dairy and Hog Show for placing the association on a permanent basis. The doubtful stage is passed, and we now have an incorporated body, with creditable buildings and exhibition grounds. The breeder is no longer confronted with the query as to whether or not there will be a local show where he may exhibit his stock, but It is an established fact that there will be, and he has counted on it since our show last October. This assurance means much to the Hermiston breed er and to the entire project, for it has become even trits to say that one of the finest assets a farming community may have is its herds of purebred stock. If any are incredulous, let them consider how Ed. Carey's herd of record-breaking Jerseys put the lit tle town of Carlton, Oregon, on the map of the world. The opportuni- ties for the stockraiser on thia pro- jeet are great, and he may, indeed, be thankful that while his industry is yet In its infancy in thia locality, he has received the backing of town and country alike. Local men have been adding new blood to their herds and have given better care to what they had, so the outlook for the 1920 show is unusu ally bright. Perhaps tbe most en couraging fact tor us In the wide spread interest shown by breeders last year, is that practically every exhibitor resolved that when time came for the next show he would have his stock better fitted for the exhibition. On every band one heard complimentary remarks on the finearray of stock shown, accompan ied by a regret that it could not have been a little better conditioned and groomed for the occasion. That many are keeping their reso lution to give the prize calf or blue ribbon heifer better care is evidenc ed, not only by the owner’s state- rnent that he is, but by the appear ance of some of the stock to be seen on the ranches, and this at the close of a very severe winter. It all speaks well for what we may expect at the 1920 Show. The Board of Directors is determined to spare no effort In keeping the grounds as sanitary and attractive as may be found, and we want the co-operation of all breeders In planning and working toward one of the finest shows of wall-fitted stock that may be seen anywhere In the Northwest. The 1920 show will include an Item of much Interest to the hog raiser. Sufficient number of entries among Du roc breeders have been se cured to insure having the District Futurity feature, which, we believe, is the first of Its kind to be offered tn the state. The District Futurity is promoted by the National Duroe Record Association, and will add *200 in prize money for the Duroc breeders. Baseball game Sunday at 3 p. m Petitioning for and Against Ole Jacobson, who was recently tried on a statutory crime against his own sister-in-law, after pleading guilty received a sentence of eight years in the state prison. Shortly after sentence was passed a petition was circulated in this city, where Jacobson lived with his family, pray ing for his release on parole. While this received many signatures, there were numerous who refused to sign It on the grounds that the man should receive punishment for his crime and for the further reason that were he paroled now it would establish a bad precedent. As a re sult of this sentiment a petition of remonstrance against granting a pa role to Jacobson was circulated this week, and this also received a large number of signers. Bpth petitions have been sent to Judge G. W. Phelps at Pendleton. Wobblies Sentenced The seven men convicted in Mon tesano. Wash., March 13 of second degree murder for the slaying of Warren Grimm at the Armistice Day massacre In Centralia, were sentenced to not less than 25 years each in the state prison nor more than 40 years by Judge John M. Wilson on Monday after he had de- hied a motion by the defense for a new trial. Attorney Vanderveer, for the defense, took exception to the sentence and gave notice of appeal. Laid to Rest Miss Christie Albrecht, who had been a sufferer from kidney trouble for the past 12 years, died at the home of her sister, Mrs. Anna Sap per, out in Columbia District,, last Saturday, interment being in the Hermiston cemetery Monday after a funeral sermon delivered at the home by Rev. Gallaher. Deceased was born In Erle, Pa., in July 1858. About ten years ago she came here from Erie with her sister, with whom she has lived the past 25 years. Mrs. Marie Witter, another sister, was called west from Erie two weeks ago to be at the bedside of her relative In her last illness. Miss Albrecht during her residence on the project had made many warm friendships, all of whom are grieved over her demise. BIG LEGION SMOKER IN PENDLETON TONIGHT Ten of the cleverest fighters in the northwest will step into the ring at Pendleton this Saturday night for 34 rounds of boxing under the auspices of Pendleton Post, American Legion. One thousand fans from Pendleton and Umatilla county towns are be ing prepared for. Happy Canyon is the scene of the bouts. Johnny Noye of St. Paul meets Harry Casey of Seattle In the main go of 10 rounds. Those two light weights are evenly matched as to weight, both are young but experi enced and are enough different In their type of fighting to insure a battle all of the way. Buddy Stevens, a favorite in Pen dleton, will share honors with Gene Bartell of Walla Walla In an eight round semi-windup. The six-round affair between Smi ley Fuigham and Red Young Is pre dieted to be a gory hair-raising event. Both boys want to kill each other, and they intersperse a lot of good boxing In their matches as well. The ether six-round preliminary Is between Aberdeen Jimmy Duffy and Frankie Fontana, both top-notchers in their weight. Eleven knockouts in 20 battles is the record which Ritchie Davis, formerly of Kennewick, has made Since being discharged from the navy. He will raise the curtain with Soldier White, who licked everything in his neighboring divisions In France. Legion men and sport followers from ail over the country will be at the affair, and present indications are that Hermiston will be well rep resented at the ringside.

The county conference has three main objectives: To present the surveys which reveal the needs of the world in life and money; presenta- tlon of the evangelistic and finan- cial campaign, and the rally of de nominational and community forces for the complete organization of the county.
