MR. CHRISTLEY FINISHES
TRANS CONTINENTAL DRIVE
Dell Christley of Baker was here
for two days this week visitingf his
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Alpha Christley
He is nearing the end of a trip that
has taken him across the continent
and back. Mr. and Mrs. M. O. Ayers
of Baker planned a trip to the Atlan
tic coast some time ago, and Mrs.
Christley agreed to drive their Cadi-
lac sedan for them on the Journey.
New York and other eastern cities
were visited and the return trip
started.
En route to the Pacific coast Mr.
Ayers died, his body was sent east
and Mrs. Ayers also returned to the
east. Mr. Christley was left to con
tinue on to the Pacific coast and
Baker in the car alone except for
the company of Mrs. Ayers’ little
Pekinese dog. Companions in advent
ure, for three weeks they have trav
eled the southern route acroBg the
country, through Kansas, Amarillo
City, Texas, Needles, up through Bak
ersfield and other California cities,
finding poor roads between Kansas
city and Santa Fe, and missed seeing
the coast to coast marathon runners
by half a day.
Mr. Christley (aad the Peke) left
Wednesday for Baker. He plans to
return to Hermiston after a short tlm
and will make his home here.
CEMETERY IRRIGATED
AND TREES PLANTED
Work which hag been planned for
some time was finished last week,
when a slphon system of irrigation
was Installed south of town to sup
ply the cemetery with water, which
will make possible th« planting of
treeg and shrubbery. Water Is ob
tained from the feed canal, 750 feet
south of the oemetery, by siphon,
and is carried through a thre« inch
iron pipe to the southeast corner of
the oemetery, where the flow is dis-
tributd through ditches.
The sys
tem has been tried out and gives ex
cellent results.
One hundred fifty locust trees and
50 Russian olive trees have been se
lected and will be planted in th
parkings and along th east and south
sides of the grounds.
The men who have done the work
and given their tlme to thig improve
ment are Tom Fraser, A. W. Prann,
F. R. Reeves, H. K. Dean, who sur
veyed for the ditches, and Walter
Meade, who has donated a part of
the work he has done.
Changes tending toward bettering
of fencing conditions are planned and
it wll be possible for Individual lot
owers to tak« better care of their
plots since the water hag been piped
to the spot.

NARROW ESCAPE IN
SUNDAY ACCIDENT
GOVERNMENT COYOTE HUNT
ERS IN THIS TERRITORY
Harold Dobyns, assistant inspector
with the Biological survey, and work
ing out of the Portland office, was
a visitor to the Herald office Wed
nesday.
Mr. Dobyns says that he
and his assistant, Herbert G. Adams,
government hunter, have killed 90
coyotes ln this vicinity in the last
ten days and that government hunt-
ters through Umatilla and Morrow
counties have got over 200 coyotes
in the last month. Coyotes have
been causing quite a loss to sheep
and poultry men through this sec
tion lately and farmers are appreciat
ing the cooperation of the govern
ment in ridding the country of them.
Mr. Dobyns and his men will be
around here for a month or more,
and asks that any farmer or person
knowing or suspecting the location
of a coyote den will communicate
with him at Echo, and they will get
the den, pups and old pairs.

CAR DRIVEN BY SHORTY WILMOT
CRASHES INTO POLE
Occupants of Car Returning From
Game at Umatilla Were
Uninjured.
An accident that narrowly escaped
being a tragedy occurred Sunday at
the grad« crossing in town. A light
aoupe, owned and driven by Sidney
Wilmot of Umatilla, came into Her
miston from the west and at the high
rat« of speed the car was making,
was unable to make the curve by the
depot.
The right side of the car
struck a heavy guard rail on the
right of way and an electric pole
near it. The guard rail was de
molished, the light pole knocked
over and the coupe turned over.
Mr. Wilmot, who formerly lived
in Hermiston, and the two Umatilla
men with him were uninjured when
witnesses of the accident helped
thm from the wreck. The car .was
badly damaged, the top broken ln,
fender torn off and rear trucks
knocked from the chassis. No glass
was broken which probably saved
the occupants from serious injury.
After the accident Mr. Wilmot
pleaded guilty to a charge of reck
less driving in Justice West’s court
and was fined 3100 and his license
suspended for six months.
Witnesses of the accident estimate
that Wilmot wag travelling at a rate
of about 60 or 65 miles an hour. F.
C. Woughter, Union Pacific agent,
who wag close to the path of the
car. says that the coupe looked .to him
as though it was Just ready to leave
the ground the speed was so great.
Just & moment before the car crossed
the sidewalk and struck the pole, a
woman with a baby in a , carriage
and with a small child walking by
her side, had passed the spot.
