(Jhe Hrrmisfu Hrraln VOLUME XXIX HERMISTON, UMATILLA COUNTY, OREGON, THURSDAY, NUMBER 48 DISTRICT VOTERS WIL DETERMINE FATE 0 HI SCHOOL BUILDING BOND ELECTION FOR CALLED TUESDAY, AUGUST 6. Present Construction Urged Because of Crowded Conditions and Available PWA Funds. ) Whether Union high school dist rict No. 9 will have a new high school building will be determined Tuesday, August 6, by the voters of the district. From all indications, if the voters come to the polls at the Hermiston school house the bond election will be carried. If they treat the subject with indifference the new school structure may not be built. The present school building is now overcrowded, by natural in crease of farm population in the district. There is held to be great need for a good gymnasium and likewise for a large auditorium. The opportunity to secure a direct grant from the government of 45 per cent of the total costs is an incentive to build now while this public fund is available, and would result in a great saving to the taxpayers. The bond Issue is proposed at $40,000, and the cost of the building and equipment at around 870,000, total. The new building will be fire resistant with exits from all floors to the ground levels. The front half of the building sets in the street and is one story in height, while the rear half sets in the athletic field and is 14 feet below the street level. This makes it possible to have entrances to class rooms, study hall, corridor, library, offices and rest rooms from street levels. The gymnasium has a ceiling height of 14 feet and runs through two stories, the floor being at, or near, the level of the athletic field. In the gymnasium will be a spacious stage with dressing rooms at either side, and under the stage will be dressing rooms and shower baths. By the combination of audi torium and gymnasium convenient sealing capacity for 300 la provided posite ends from the stage, while a seating capacity for larger occasions of 940 is provided, by the use of fold ing chairs taken from storage rooms under the bleachers. Building materials will be mainly home sand and gravel which will aid largely in the economy of the structure, as well as permanence and security. The heating and fuel rooms are in a separate unit at one end of the main building and the plant will heat every room noislessly and efficiently. The entire structure is planned with thoughts as to conven ience, safety, economy of construc tion and operation, health and a sense of artistic beauty. Any qualified voter who was on the county assessment rolls as of March 1, 1934, is entitled to vote. Also anyone who furnishes satis factory evidence of stock, shares or ownership in any corporation, firm or co-partnership listed on said tax rolls are entitled to vote. Brother Arrives Unexpectedly. Joseph Costa, 17-year-old brother of Gilbert Costa, who has lived here for several years, arrived on the pro ject some four weeks ago, and had been working at the P. P. Sullivan farm, not knowing that his brother was living here. Through unexpec ted channels Joseph learned that his brother was living tn Columbia dis trict and the two brothers were uni ted after seven years. Joseph had hitch hiked from Bloomfield, Con necticut. He had been working at the Sullivan farm for more than two weeks.

W. P. Beamer brought the first melons to market today. Al Bolsted is the lar gest grower on the project, having 50 acres in melons. Glenn Macken has 15 acres planted to melons and others have from one to three acres. Boardman growers report the crop not up to last year's standard and the crop generally over the north west has been reported as lower than the average. This would indi cate that a better price will be main- tained. Last year Bolsted alone shipped between 20 and 25 car loads of termelons from the Hermiston pro- ‘ject, besides the many melons that were trucked to markets.

Dewey Brown of Mo- desto, Calif.: "After enjoying a week’s visit with my brother and family, Ray C. Brown at Irrigon, I find the fruit and produce compare very favorably with that grown at Modesto (our home), the heart of the fruit and dairying industry of central California.
