Cowboys, BIGGER AND BETTER Outlaw Horses hold you spell* bound with their nerve and daring California postal employees are enraged at the most recent order of Postmaster General Burleson that all but deprives them and their families of the ballot. Neither the employee nor any member of his immediate family is permitted to participate in politics on pain of dismissal. The Postmaster-general's order on this subject reads: "Employees are accountable for political activity by persons other than themselves, in cluding wives and husbands.” ' "This means,” said one of the com plaining mail carriers, “That if my wife takes any farther interest in suffrage or in the woman’s clubs in which she has been active in working for suffrage, I will loose my Job if the powers-that-be find It out I know of many wives* of postal em- ployees who have been dolng good work in politics. They have been good citizens in every sense of the word and now they are disenfranch ised despite the nineteenth amend ment. The order is typical of the Burleson tyrannical domination. No employer of labor in private enter prise would dare go to the lengths Burleson has.” THAN EVER An Appeal To All FARES AND PARTICULARS FROM AGENT O-W. R R & N. WM.

The money will be divided pro rata on points. Special diplomas will go to the highest scor ing products. Outside exhibits will be received, says W. D. Pine, of O. A. C., superintendent of the diary building at the fair, and Oregon pro ducers are warned that they will have to hustle to keep the prizes at home. Evidence of the growth and pros perity of the Irrigon section is mani- fest in the fact that not long since the people comprising that school district voted a bonded indebtedness of $40,000, which sum is to be ex pended at once in the erection of a modern school building. The plans for this new structure were received by the Morrow County School Superintendent, Mrs. Shurte recently for her inspection and ap proval, says the Heppner Times- Gazette. The building is to be of reinforced concrete construction, and the plan now is to finish the basement and first floor complete, and the audi torium and class rooms on the second floor will be finished and equipped later, as the demands of the school justify. A new site for the structure has been chosen which is more cen trally located and the work of con struction is to be commenced immed iately. When completed the Irrigon dis trict will have one of the very best school buildings in the county, a monument to the enterprise and good Judgment of the people of that com munity.
