UMATILLA ITEMS STATUE IN MEMORY THOS. F. JARDINE NEW OF TIL TAYLOR LIKELY HEAD OF AGRICULTURE A statewide desire to pay tribute to the memory of the late Til Taylor has resulted In the formation of the Til Taylor Memorial Association. The executive committee composed of Judge Marsh, Mayor Vaughan, H. W. Collins, James Sturgis and Roy Raley, all of Pendleton, are taking, charge of the work. Other men will be added to the committee named by the five directors. Subscriptions are to be entirely voluntary, and one of the slogans suggested has been "a penny or a thousand dollars," because of the faet that his friends were in all sta- tions of life. A certificate will be given to each subscriber to the fund and a list made and published. It is probable that an equestrian statue of the late sheriff will be most favored, though it is said that the purchase of land and equipment for a public playground has found sup port. Thomas F. Jardine, new director of agriculture for the state at the Oregon Agricultural College, who a guest of H. K. Dean this week, is described by C. S. Scofield of the Department of Agriculture, as one of the brightest young men In agri- cultural work. He is still in his forties ani is the man who has recon ciled the sheep and cattle men on the grazing question, to the satisfaction of each and for the good of the for ests. He is enthusiastic in his work, and will give the best of his know ledge to furthering the interests of the large and small farmer. Mr. Scofield spoke in no uncertain terms of the good fortune of the state and its farmers in securing.Mr. Jardine for the position he now holds. EVERYBODY IS TALKING ABOUT DOROTHY GISH Dainty Actress Who Will be Seen Here in “Battling Jane’’ is Most Popular NEW ENTERPRISE FOR CITY I. E. Putnam and family arrived this week to settle In Hermiston. They have bought two lefts of Peer Bokish on Main street and will erect a home there at once. Mr. Putnam was formerly head plumber of the O. A. C. in Corval lis, and has had many years exper- ience in that line of work. He will open an up-to-date plumbing shop here in the near future and carry a complete line of bathroom fittings and all plumbing supplies, also car ing for pump repairs of all kinds and sheet metal and tin work. Miss Dorothy Holland entertained a few of her friends at luncheon Fri day noon, honoring Miss Winnifred Wardell, of Boise, Idaho, a guest at the Neary home. The guests enjoy- ed music and dancing after the luncheon. Dorothy Gish's big Paramount starring vehicle, “Battling Jane,” which will be shown at the Auditor ium Wednesday, August 11th, is said to be one of the finest photoplays issued anywhere in many months That it affords Miss Gish a role of wonderous appeal is conceded by all who have seen the production. Miss Gish appears as Jane, a nomad who rides into a town in Maine out of nowhere on a bicycle while a Thrift Stamp drive is under way and who meets with most un- usuual adventures. She befripnds a woman whose husband has deserted her and when the woman dies, she takes charge of the latter's child which is found by Jane in the de serted home. This babe wins first prize at a baby show and when the inhuman father returns to claim the money, Jane gives him a real battle and wins out in the end. COMMERCIAL CLUD WHAT DO YOU KNOW HOLD SESSION TUESDAY ABOUT YOUR PROJECT? About 20 members of the Com mercial club were at the luncheon at the Oregon hotel Tuesday noon. The meeting was called to order by Mr. Swayze, acting for E. P. Dodd, who was out of town. George Adams, proprietor of the new Play House, now being built, spoke to the members of the club, outlining the policies of the new the atre. He asked the support and en- couragement of the townspeople, both clergy and laymen, guarantee ing to give good, clean shows and pointed out the advantages of keep ing the money of the town within the community. It was reported that the Heppner representative failed to show up or send word in the matter of deciding which was the better of the two roads from the John Day river to Pendleton last Sunday and the club took it for granted that the Heppner Commercial club lost the decision by default. Earl Kingsley was appoint ed to write to the daily papers giv4 ing that fact due publicity. C. S. Scofield of Washington. D. C., reposenting the Department of Agriculture and in charge of the ex perimental stations In the irrigated projects of the United States, was present as a guest at the club dinner and gave a very Interesting talk that was greatly appreciated by all those present. Out of town men at the meeting besides Mr. Scofield were. Raymond W. Hatch, architect of Pendleton and C. I. B-ockman of Stanfield. Margaret Neary and Dorothy Hol land were hostesses at a lawn party on the Neary lawn last Tuesday evening. Dancing and games were enjoyed during the evening and the guests formed for a grand march be fore refreshments were served. The grounds were prettily decorated by lighted lanterns of green and gold. Twenty-four guests were present. F A. Chezik returned Wednesday business trip to morning from Portland. While it is true that the princi pal product of the Umatilla project is alfalfa, it is probably upon the reputation of its alfalfa honey that high place will be taken in the world of superior productions. Hermiston honey is already gain ing a name for itself and farmers of the project are growing to learn more and more the value of this by- product of the wide alfalfa fields. It is a clear white that is the essence of purity and the buying public is growing to appreciate this honey more each season. There are approximately 3500 stands of bees on the Umatilla pro ject, the majority of them owned among eight or ten men. Around 100 tons were shipped from the local station during the 1919 season, one man filling one car with honey from his own stands alone. While the winter of 1919 was an unusally hard one on bee raisers, conditions during the spring and summer of 1920 have been such as to guarantee a larger production of honey than the project has ever project man who has known. worked with bees all his life says that this present season (1920) is the best he has ever known along that line. NO. 47 88 ÍPE. . . . STATION HEAD VISITS PROJECT THIS WEEK • We have received a letter from Secretary of State, Sam A. Kozer, in which he asks the following be pub lished: "The belief has developed in some sections of the state that persons un der the age of 16 years may, under certain circumstances, obtain license or permits to operate motor vehicles. Such is not the case. The Operator's Law (Section 4, Chapter 3, Laws Special Session, 1920) specifically prohibits the issuance of a license or permit to any person under the age of 16 years, whether or not such person be the owner of a motor ve hicle, and the same section further enacts that ‘No person, who is the owner or custodian of any motor ve hicle. shall permit any person who Is less than 16 years of age to operate or drive any such motor vehicle or employ any person to operate or drive any such motor vehicle who is less than 18 years of age and a licensed operator or chauffeur.' ” that the Umatilla Experimental sta tion, which has been financed joint ly by the state and federal govern ment since 1909, is temporarily with out government support, but that the state had sufficient funds to take care of it until the last of January or the first of February, and he hopes that before long government appropriations will permit of affairs being arranged on the same basis as formerly, possibly on a larger scale. He said that the first intention of the government when the project was young was the cultivation of fruit trees and small fruits, but that now this crop was of secondary im portance to alfalfa, which covers four-fifths of the irrigable lands of the project. He spoke of the advis- ibility of keeping the hay raised here on the project, by using It for pro ducing of dairy cattle,' pork, sheen and as a fattener in connection with other feed which can be raised here also. HAY DEALER WILL MAKE LARGE SHIPMENTS HERE STARTS ON STATE WORK E. P. Dodd will leave Sunday morning for Wallowa county, where he and Senator J. B. Bell of Eugene, will start on duties called for by their membership as members of the salaries committee of the legisla- ture. They will look into the salaries of state and county officials and be ready to report at the next session of the legislature and recommend such readjustment in salaries as they may find necessary to procure efficient public service. Louis F. Stanley, son of Mr. and Mrs. F. D. Stanley, was married last week In Prescott, Washington, to Miss Marla McCall of that town, at the home of her parents, who are large wheat farmers there. Mr. Stanley is in charge of government engineers working near Baker. The young couple visited Mr. and Mrs. Stanley here before returning to Baker. DOARDMAN NEWS SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE The Grange held a very enjoyable moonlight ice cream social at Wes ton’s last Wednesday night. There was a large crowd present.
