Glen Moore, foreman of the park grounds, stated that the grounds could be made ready for the added attraction, and after thor oughly discussing the matter, the committee voted to add this feature to the celebration. The bucking horses and races will be in charge of Mr. Moore, who stated that most of the horses and riders would be local people and local horses. No admission will be charged to the grounds, and with horse racing added to the already large list of sport events outlined by A. E. Ben- sei, an unusually large crowd is ex pected to be in Hermiston for the celebration. Chub Longhorn was given author ity to contact another team to play against Hermiston for a purse of $25.00. Echo will probably be the opponent, and as these two teams are the finals in the local league, a good game is expected. One of the best parades ever, held in Hermiston or surrounding terri tory was assured when Al Kennings reported that a large number of lo cal business houses and organiza tions gave him the assurance of a float in the parade. Mr. Kennings appointed Guy Amsbury and Lloyd Moore to assist him in making final arrangements for the parade. A delegation from Umatilla, also pres ent at the meeting, was invited to help make the parade a success. Branstetter’s band has been engaged to supply music for the parade and during the events in the afternoon, including their six-piece dance or chestra in the evening. Admission, prices for the boxing event at 6:30 P. M., were reduced lu order to get a larger crowd for the big event. The boxing event will be the only attraction outside of the new park grounds. Harry Kelley, who is in charge of the box ing event, was unable to be present at the meeting, but left word that with the help of CCC boys from Stanfield, an arena will be erected between the Safeway and present Burnham’s store on main street of Hermiston._____ ____ ________ W.

RECORD 4-H CLUB SESSION LINEMAN DIES OF SHOCK NEARS END AT CORVALLIS. SUFFERED AT ROWENA MONDAY The biggest 4-H club summer ses sion ever held west of the Mississip pi is drawing to a close on the Ore gon State college campus at Corval lis. where more than 1400 boys and girls and 60 local leaders have spent a busy two weeks attending classes, getting acquainted, and enjoying the program of recreation and enter tainment. Friday, June 19, is the last day of the session, when winners of all con tests and awards will be announced, and the girls and boys whose class sections made the highest record for promptness, attendance and interest for the two weeks will have the pleasure of sitting on the assembly platform and eating ice cream while the rest of the clubbers look on. Sat urday morning bedding will be rolled and suitcases packed, and the entire group will scatter to their homes in every county of the state. Among the exciting incidents at summer school this year was the announcement from Portland that Florence Flink. 13, one of the sum mer school delegates from that ci ty. had won the grand championship of the Rose Festival on her entry of an Ophelia rose grown in her 4-H rose and flower project. This made the second successive year in which a 4-H club member had carried off i this coveted honor at Portland’s rose show in competition with the | best adult growers. The Oregon club summer school, | which incidentally is the only two- weeks' session of this sort held in the United States, had its beginning 22 years ago when 20 4-H boys and girls were assembled on the O.S.C. campus for special training. It has grown steadily in i scope and atten dance. with an enrollment this year more than twice as large as that of two years ago. The class work this year was more inclusive than ever before, with instruction provided in every phase of elub work and many rela ted interests, while many prominent citizens and officiais of the state have appeared before the daily as semblies. The clubbers entered wholeheartedly as usual into the sports program of swimming, tennis, baseball, volleyball, dancing and si milar activities. Two new features of the evening entertainment pro grams were a style revue and an “amateur night." COUNTY, • =------- MRS. L. STEWART BURIED IN HERMISTON CEMETERY. Mrs. L.

BLOOM FAMILY VISIT STATES AFTER TWO YEARS ABSENCE IN NOME, ALASKA Traveling from Nome, Alaska, to Fairbanks and on to Anchorage by airplane, from there to Seward by train and then on to the states on the boat “Yukon.” Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Bloom and son reached Seattle Thursday of last week to touch U. S. soil for the first time in two years. The boat came by the inside passage, the nicer this time of the year because there is less rain than at a later season. For the past two years Mr. Bloom has acted as superintendent of city schools at Nome, having served in that capacity at Umatilla before ac cepting that position. He stopped at Fairbanks for one week on the trip to the States to investigate the Fair banks schools of which he will be superintendent the coming school year. Fairbanks is the "white man’s town” of Alaska, having mostly white population, and is less isolat ed than Nome. The Blooms are visiting Mrs Bloom's parents. Mr. and Mrs. L. C. Dyer, and will not return to Alaska until August. * In Nome the Office of Indian Affairs maintains schools for Eski mos. and the city school system has an enrollment of both white and half breed children. Mr Bloom states that there is little difference n the scholastic standing of the half breed children and the whites until after they pass the elementary “rades, then few of the half breed children go far scholastically. From the last of October to the "irst of June each year, seven months time, there are no boats --in« in to Nome The ice begins to drift down from the north and the boats eannot risk a later passage. Wail service, however, is not dis- “ontinved hut is carried hr airnlane at least once a week, unless sever- weather condition» prevent.

Nome is located on a peninsula off the Bering Sea which accounts for this. The winds are sharp and penetrating, however, and the na tive garb is adopted by all those who live there. Sports activities are many, dog mushing being the favorite, and snow shoe and ski racing are among other activities. All Alaskan towns have a very active social life due to the confinement and isolation, mak ing their own entertainment by dancing, cards, amateur theatricals and by enjoying modern theatres, movies. The movies which are shown are brought in on the last boat in the fall in sufficient number to fill the schedule for the entire winter season. Fresh meats consist mostly of I reindeer, and salmon and trout are caught in the northern waters. | Fresh vegetables are rare during the winter season and all canned j and fresh vegetables are twenty-five percent higher than in the states. Lettuce is eaten on very rare oc casions when the family Is doing some special entertaining. Last winter Mr. Bloom had most of his staff of his own choosing, and Miss Helen Fredreckson of Stanfield, was one of his elementary school teachers. Miss Fredreckscn will be home about the first of July to spend the summer with her parents at Stanfield. She will come on the first boat "Victoria.” Fairbanks. Mr Bloom says. Is farther Inland but can be reached at all times by tbe railroad and oth er means of transportation. ACCURATE RECORDS KEPT BY Turkeys R. B.

Mueller was elected direc tor for school district No. 14, at the annual school election held Monday. June 15, to replace F. B. Swayze, who wished to retire from such ac tivities after giving years of service in that capacity. R. A. Brownson was reelected clerk. Pre-school Clinic Success. Production of cockerels for the broiler market is becoming more of an industry on the project than ever before and a sample of such a profitable concern is found on the R. B. Wilcox farm one mile east of Hermiston. The Wilcox family moved to the Hermiston project about a year ago from the Lexington country where they had operated a wheat ranch. Mr. Wilcox keeps ac curate records and knows just what profits are made from each bunch of broilers. In January they bought 1000 ba by cockerels to feed just eight weeks when 954 of them were mar keted. each bird averaged 1.6 Iba., at a value of 30 cents. Records showed that an average of 3.4 Ibe. of feed was used to produce a pound of chicken, making each bird cost 12 12 cents. The total 1526 pounds of chicken was sold at 19 cents per pound, bringing $289.94. A tabulated account of the cost of production showed that briquets and coal cost $7.65. feed cost $68.- 90, hatchery and express was $42.75 and marketing cost was $5.00, total ling $124.30. The net gain from the sale of the 1000 broilers was shown as $165.64. The second group of 1400 cocker els brought a greater amount of pro fit because of the larger number, totaling 2434 pounds, marketed at 16 cents per pound. The hatcherv cost was $158.65 and the selling price totaled $389.44. making a net profit of $230.79. These figures make clear the fact that the larger the volume the lower cost of produc tion. The feed rations used may be a little different from those general ly recommended but have proven successful in this case. Chick scratch and sour milk are fed for the first few days and then chick starter is added. During the first week a to tal of 20 pounds of starter mash. 100 pounds of scratch and 15 gal lons of sour milk were fed to the 1000 cockerels. About the middle of the third week cracked wheat was gradually added to the wet mash ra tion and the milk given in liquid form. During the last two weeks, less starter mash is fed and more heavy grain added as a finishing ra tion. Fattening mash is not fed un less the birds are to be sold imme diately to the consumer market. In the broiler market business the producer makes use of his brooder house the year around instead of Just during the brooding season, and Mr. Wilcox believes it will be possi ble to finish birds to market every month instead of every two months. Over crowding, however, in the open air brooder and sun porches is disastrous and prevents rapid devel opment which Is so necessary. Twelve children of pre-school age were examined at a clinic Wednes day morning by Dr. F. B. Belt and Dr. W. L. Morgan. The clinic was sponsored by the Hermiston Teacher- Parent association and the Umatil la County Health association, and will be an annual event.
