WATER WILL FILL MCKAY
RESERVOIR TO TOP
McKay lake reservoir will be fill
ed to capacity this year, says C. L.
Tice, superintendent, who states
that for the first time in the history
of the dem, which was built in 1926,
he has been Instructed to permit the
water to come to the top of the
gauge.
The capacity of the reservoir is
74,000 acre feet and about six times
In the past decade there has been
sufficient water to fill, but the
gauge has never been higher than
half-way up. This year, however,
full capacity is considered necessary
because of the shortage during the
past three years and because it will
mean a bigger carry-over in the
fall.
Mr. Tice estimates that it will be
about two months before the reser
voir is filled.—East Oregonian.

Scouting is once more alive and
going places here in Hermiston.
Meetings have been held regularly
since the first of the year, by Harold
Thompson, scoutmaster, and the en
rollment has been steadily increas
ing. At present there are about 20
boys attending regularly. The en
rollment goal is 40 scouts attend
ing every meeting.
Last Saturday a group of Boy
Scouts were seen doing their daily
good turn by cleaning up the yard
and garden for Mrs. Geo. Briggs.
Things of this nature will undoubt
edly be seen quite often from now
on as special stress is to be put on
"good turns.”
The Boy Scouts are selling tickets
to raise the funds necessary for this
year’s program, and each person
purchasing a ticket will be enrolled
as a member of the "booster club,”
and admits them to the Boy Scout
booster dance sponsored by the Her
miston Commercial club.
Every citizen should be 100 per
