Cutting is Done. Pendleton displayed enthusiasm over the celebration to mark comple tion of McKay dam when a com mittee from Hermiston met with committees of the Pendleton Com mercial association last Thursday to, work out some of the details in plans 'for holding the affair. The Pendle ton committees that co-operated with the Hermiston men were the com mittee on reclamation and trade ex tension. The proposed date, Tuesday, May *10. has been accepted for the cele bration. The activities will begin at the dam where Governor Patterson will be the chief speaker. He will lift the gates to release water In the reservoir as a part of the ceremonies of the occasion. Th(e prtogram at the dam will get under way at 1:30. After this part of the celebration has been completed a caravan of automobiles will move from the dam to the Stanfield district, then into the Hermiston district and thence "Over to Westland and back to Hermis ton for the banquet which will be given in the evening. Senator Steiwer will preside as toastmaster at the banquet. W. G. Ids, manager of the land settlement department of the Oregon State and Portland Chambers of Commerce, w ill head a delegation that is coming from Portland. W. B. D. Dodson secretary of the Portland Chamber of Commerce, has also been invited to be present. The Itinerary of the caravan from the dam to Hermiston w ill be logged by County Agent Holt and H. K. Dean. Probably three stops will be made at farms in the Stanfield and Hermiston districts to give visitors a chance to see at first hand examples <of the different kinds of successful farming being practiced on the two projects. Present plans are to hold the ban quet In the basement of the Metho dist church where a maximum of 200 can be served. It is expected that the Ladies Aid w ill serve the ban quet.

Pendleton expects to Bend about 10 cars on the tour made by the caravan, It was stated at the Joint meeting. It is probable that many local p£o- ple w ill go to the dam in the morn ing, take time to go over the big structure, and then enjoy a basket dinner at noon. A decision not to close business houses- all day was made at the meeting of the Commer cial club Tuesday. A report of the work of the committee was made tc the club by F. C. McKenzie. Asparagus production is increasing rather substantially in certain sec tions of Umatilla county where the crop has shown itself to be generally satisfactory. Othier sections of the United States are also increasing their asparagus acreage rather rap idly with the result that quality is becoming a more important factor in the profitable disposal of the crop, according to W. A. Holt, county agent. If the asparagus growers o< Umatilla county are to maintain their industry on a reasonably pro fitable basis they w ill be required to place on the market only the very best grade of asparagus. Following are extracts from a reqent bulletin published by the University of Cali fornia based on some investigations of the factors Influencing the qual ity of fresh asparagus after it Is harvested: "Within the past few years Cali fornia has taken a leading place in carlot shipments of fresh asparagus. Nearly all of these shipments orig inate in the Sacramento, San Joaquin and Imperial valleys at about the same time of the year. Asparagus is shipped from the Imperial valley until about May 1, a date at which the eastern asparagus is usually moved in considerable quantity. Most of the growers in the Sacra mento and San Joaquin valleys stop cutting for eastern shipment when the canneries open, usually In the early part of April." ‘‘Most of the asparagus packed for eastern shipment Is bunched. When brought to the packing sheds, the spears are usually sorted by hand MEXICO TO BE SUBJECT OF TALK BY GARNER TO CLUB A talk on Mexico will be given at the meeting of th,e Community club on May 3 by A. P. Garner who spent some years in that country. Mr. Gar- ver never lacks for listeners when he tells of his experiences and Impres sions, and the subject of Mexico is * timely. Miss Broston is to speak on . psychology, a science of which she Is a student, and Miss Crockett will give a dramatic reading. •The program will follow the reg ular meeting which will be held in the library at 3.

This Is the story of a robin th a \ had an odd idea of where she wan led to build her nest and how her ef forts and persistency interested a group of boys and girls, and inci dentally, some grown-ups. Several boys and girls know all about th< robin, and they can tell the story about the bird and h«r funny Idea. Recently at Minnehaha school the teacher, Mrs. DeMoss, noticed some thing new on the stove pipe. The something new was on top of the pipe where a wire support from the eeiling circled the pipe. It was not hard to guess what the mass ot Junk was because a robin, frightened from her work when the teacher and pupils Invaded the school room, sat outside of the window and scolded. COMMERCIAL CLUB NAMES DR. ROWE AS SECRETARY When the room was vacated that afternoon she resumed her work and only left the next morning again when school began. Finally, the teacher reached thet conclusion that the bird's nest build ing activities would have to be cur Mrs. Mabel Ralph and Mrs. W.

Fraser, second stuck snd could not be closed The West Enders swallowed a pill marked defeat In the game of ball played Sunday in Pendleton against the Buckaroos, the score being 6 to 0. The Bucks surprised themselves by playing errorless ball, and the loc als, besides contributing four errors, were lacking in the punch to pile up hits when hits were needed. The Bucks acquired 11 hits while the West Senders were getting six. Only In the third and sixth did the West Enders threaten, and the threat to score was nipped each time. There were six innings In which only three local batters faced Hattrup. Pendleton scored one In the first. Quinn got to first on Fetzer’s error and scored on Garrett's double. In the second Olson singled and scored on Hargett’s triple, and Hargett scored on an infield play, Garrett scored one In the third, In the fourth Hattrup got a double and scored when Quinn rapped out a dou ble. The other Buck score was made In the seventh. Walters got to first on Jones’ error Just after Cook had done the same thing on Hanson’s error. Cook was caught at third.

H. VanWinkle, attorney-general. Il was said that the outcome of this suit would affect all of the 18 Oregor counties which participated in the ta: refund.
