or three years ago.

Of The Week
terest to many Hermiston people.
"One of the interesting weddings
of the season was the ceremony, last
night, at which Miss Nina B. Riggs
became the bride of George II. Ad
ams. The marriage was solemnized
in Trinity Episcopal church, Dr. A.
A. Morrison officiating. The bride
was attractive in a gown of white
satin and lace. She carried orchids
and white roses. Her tulle veil was
becomingly draped. Miss Janet Riggs,
her sister and only attendant, was
charming in pale turquoise blue silk
and silver lace. Robert Morrison at
tended the bridegroom. Mrs. C. II.
Adams, mother of the bridegroom,
came from New York to be present
at the ceremony. W. II. Riggs, uncle
of the bride, was here from Wichita
to attend. The bride is an attractive
girl, musically gifted. She’has been
connected with the schools in the de
partment of music. Mr. Adams is
well known here as a musician, and
at present is organist in one of the
Christian Science churches. On re
turning from a trip the couple will
be at home at 701 Washington street
—Portland Oregonian.
The Baptist Ladies’ Aid met at the
home of Mrs. R. O. Horning on last
Wednesday afternoon. Twenty lad
ies were 'in attendance and much ad
vanced work was planned. The so
ciety voted to buy new carpet for the
Church and shades for the window
back of the pulpit, and portlets fot
the alcove, and to kalsomine the ceil
ing, and stain and varnish the wood
work, and also to put down a cement
walk in front of the Church building.
Committees were appointed to get
busy on these improvements and or
ders have been given for much of the
materials now. These improvements
will greatly increase the beauty of
the church which already is one of
the finest Church buildings in the
State.
Miss Helen Chrisman of New
York spent Thursday in Hermistor
visiting the World Wide Gills. This
is a national organization of the Bap
tist denomination and is for young
ladies only. Some time ago a Chart

Society Events
Not the least among the "social
events” of the past week was the big
boy-lunch planned by the Ladies of
the Community Club for the hungry
workers on Clean-Up-Day last Friday.
A hundred delicious lunches wore
sent in by the ladles and when the
men had reached the limit of their
capacity, their capacity for work wn
somewhat impaired for some time aft
erward.
The school band serenaded the
guests during the dinner hour, inci
dentally advertising the High Schoc 1

STATE CHAMBER MAKING DEF
INITE PLANS FOR SETTLERS
Definite steps toward carrying out
the land settlement plan announced
by the Oregon State Chamber of Com
merce whereby prospective immi
grants from the middle western
states would be grouped together and
brought to Oregon in a body, were
taken at a meeting of the Executive
Committee yesterday through the ap
pointment of William “Bill” Hanley,
of Burns, a director of the State
Chamber, and J. R. Heuring, former
ly with the Eastern Oregon Land Co.,
to represent Oregon and the State
Chamber in the middle west this sum-
mer. The tvzo men will leave for
Omaha within the next ten days, It
was announced.
"Bill” Hanley is probably one of
the belt known men in the State of
Oregon in agricultural and stock-
raising circles. Coming to Oregon
In th pioneer days when the state
was practically an untouched wild-
rne a, he has "grown up with the
We t” and has become a powerful
figure In all movements having to do
ith the development of the state.
As a director of the State Chamber,
and through his belief in the future
of Oregon, he has become enthusiast
ic over the plans for bringing settlers
to the state, and offered his services
without remuneration for the cam
paign in the Middle West this sum
mer.
"I’m going to tell those people in
the middle west what we’ve got in
Oregon” said Bill Hanley. "We
don’t have to exaggerate or tell any
big stories but just tell them the
truth about the state. What Oregon
needs is more farmers to settle up the
state and develop our Idle land, and
that Is the kind of men we’re going
to bring here from the middle west."
J. R. Heuring, who will do the
field work in the middle west this
ummer, has been active in coloniza
tion work in the Northwest for a
number of years. He is familiar
with the agricultural possibilities
and resources of every section of the
state, and as a representative of the
Eastern Oregon Land Company and
the Warm Springs Project, has per
sonally located more than 250 fam
ilies in Oregon during the past five
years.
Great interest in the plan for land
settlement as announced by the
State Chamber has been manifested
not only In Oregon, but as far east
as Owasso, Oklahoma and Duluth,
Minnesota. Almost every mall brings
