OREGON, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 6. 1923 VOL. XVIII UMATILLA COUNTY TAX BUDGET CUT ¡DRILLERS FOR OIL GET ARTESIAN FLOW Program of Beekeers Meeting The Oregon State Beekeepers Annual Meeting and Market ing Conference will be held in Hermiston next Tuesday and Wednesday. J. Skovbo has completed arrangements to entertain the visi tó n and delegates to the convention. The Commercial Club will furnish cara and take the visitors for a trip to the Umatilla Rapids. Following la the program: I While drilling for oil at the North eastern Oil Exploration well near this city a flow of artesian water was encountered Thanksgiving day. Officials of the company measured the flow and found the water isued forth at the rate of 120 gallons per minute. When left to settle it is as clear as a crystal and for drinking purposes has a taste equal to the pur est of spring water. A bottle of the water has been sent to the state Board of Health for their analysis and a report ns to Its purity and what it contains is expected in a few days. The flow was found in a fissure of basalt rock at a depth of 425 feet. One hundred and fifty-five feet above this strata of basalt rock is 80 feet of clay and shale, 80 feet more of blue basalt and 80 feet above this is a strata of clay and blue shale. If It proves to be a continuous flow of artesian water and the report re ceived from the Board of Health lg favorable, It is believed by some that the city will Investigate the possi- blities and negotiate wth the com pany to purchase the well for the city water works. E. P. Dodd, president of the com pany, Btated the well could be obtain ed by the city for the amount of money the company has spent in sinking it and a new and larger hole would be started nearby.

The game was played at Union on Thanksgiving day. Our boys found the altitude and climate of Union a trifle different from that of the home town. The boys were not acustoined to playing on a muddy field which wag shown before the game was over. They didn’t seem to get traction enough to put the play thru with the uBual ‘‘punch." This is the last game of the season po the squad ends with • record of having lost only two gamea of the seven they have played. If the boys did lose the game at Union they did full Juatice to the turkey dinner which was provided at Union by the Hermslton Commercial club, to whom they are very grateful. There was no school last Thursday or Friday on account of Thanksgiving vacation. Miss Hill, Miss eFr.is, Miss Mc Kenzie and Miss Cash apent their vacation at their homes. The report cards for the second six weeks were given to the students on last Tuesday afternoon. They got Just what they deserved, whether C or an A. In addition to the members of the cast the Junior class owes it thanks to others who have helped make the play a success, including Earl Car- son, stage manager, Sherlock Stock- ard business manager, and the high school orchestra under the direction of Miss Compton, and especially to Mr. Gullfoll, who Is directing the Play. Mr. Dryke, of Portland, spoke be fore the high school Tuesday after noon in behalf of the Near East re. lief. Father— "Son this report card Is terrible. You ought to have more spunk and get your lessons. Why, I’ll bet you don’t even know what spunk Is?” Student— "Sure I do! It’s the past participle of spank.” Dick— "Thia cold weather chlll8 me to the bone.” Marjorie— “You should wear a heavier hat." Prof.— "This Is the third time I hare caught you looking on your neighbor’s paper.” Student— "Yea sir, he doesn't write very plainly. George— "Is It true that a hot dog fills an empty spot in a man's life." The Columbia high school boys volunteered to spend one day of their vacation realpring the roads on the ho* route. The girls gave them a feed at the school house which was thoroughly enjoyed.by both "gangs.” NEWS HERMISTON LOCALS ♦ ♦ Charles Samson who is working on the road at Judson with his father, found his team of mules in Irrigon Tuesday that had gotten away from the camp. Charles Steward and Charles Pow ell butchered several pigs Sunday at the Powell ranch. Elder Pond preached the sermon Sunday night as it was the quarter ly meeting of the Free Methodist church.

At noon lunch was served by Mr. Hendricks and Mr. Glasson assisted by the ladies of Irrigon, Both of these gentlemen are renowned mulligan artists.

Organizing H av Growers A. L. Lovelace, special represen- seulative of the Portland Chamber of Commerce, is in Hermiston again in the interests of the hay growers. For the last two weeks Lovelace has been In the Deschutes country conferring with the fanners, bunk ers and other business men to as certain if they wanted to organize and Join the Oregon Cooperative Hay Growers. He spoke at several meet. Inga and talked personally with a number of the representative growers and bankers, and says he found a keen interest in the subject and that the general consensus of opinion was that they should organize to stabil ize hay prices, and that in his Judg ment they are ready to Join the Ore gon Cooperative Hay Growers as soon Bg the membership campaign here Is completed. Lovelace says he heard much talk about the extension of the railroau to connect with the Natron cutoif and he believes It Is to be expecteu that much of the livestock now be ing fed in Umatilla and Morrow counties will, after this rail service is connected up, be fed In Central Oregon, so aB to be near the Califor nia and Portland markets, and that the hay growers of that territory should be organized to protect the growers bere, us well as tneniselves. Lovelace stales that it is Incon ceivable why any hay grower in this territory should hesitate to Join with his neighbors in organizing a strong control of all the marketable hay. The few hay growers here, says Lovelace, that are withholding their support, may be the means of the Oregon Cooperative Hay Growers no obtaining the necessary 75 per cent tonnage signup, and certaily all of these growers should have suffic- let vision to look in to the future and realize what a calamity it will be If this signup is not obtained and the present association goes out of existence. Farmers often complain that they cannot control the prices of their commodity, and yet some of them will refuse to Join with their nelghborg In trying to better conditions. Why should this be sol Why should the farmers not cooperate to fix the price of their products, Just as other industries? Lovelace says it would be useleSg for tho hay growers in the Deschutefi and Baker territories to try to or. ganlze unless this association ob t a in s at least 75 per cent tonnage control, and no attempt will be made to organize them unlesg the growers here come to the support of this Association.
