SUCCESSFUL TRACK MEET E> The large and enthusiastic gath ering which assembled at the school athletic grounds on Saturday after- noon to witness the annual district field meet proved the interest our patrons feel in the work and play time of their public schools. The - Hermiston students showed their appreciation by rolling up a final score over the six schools represented at the meet and winning in both the grade and high school divisions. Thirteen grade pupils and nine High School pupils won places which en titled them to represent Hermiston schools at the Annual County Field and Track meet which will be held at Pendleton next Saturday After- noon, May 7. The young people aie anxious to see a large crowd of loy al boosters go along and arrayed in the new track suits which the Com mercial Club is buying for them, they will not only make a good ap pearance but also expect to bring home some medals. The purchase of the new suits shows that our business men are behind our schools and tne neat and nifty appearance of the participants will be a fine adv. for Hermiston.

He has also done considerable picture framing, and will have a arge stock of machinery that will rive him the best equipped shop in Eastern Oregon and one of the first nieces of machinery in this line will be a good band saw, that will give him a capacity for doing fancy fin- shing and cabinet work that could mt be done otherwise, because the >and saw reduces the price of this vork to minimum khile the hand vork of this nature makes it so ex- pensive that it is almost prohibitive Mr. Smith's shop marks a new en terprise for Hermiston that will be ppreciated, and there Is no doubt that he will be kept busy, for the building program here this fear in- ludes considerable new construction n homes, and in all probability some business blocks.
