ROMAS OPEN HOTEL D IN IN G ROOM TUESDAY REVENUE DOUBTFUL FOR COMMUNITY PARK COMPLETION CLUB SETSÂPRIL 7 C IT Y CLEAN-UP The leading subject for discussion before the Hermiston Commercial club Tuesday evening at the Her miston Hotel was the community park situation. A bill had been prepared and sent to the Umatilla county delegates in the legislature to create a method for forming a park district. The bills passed the senate with but four op posing votes and was sent to the lower house, where it was referred to a committee. This committee fail ed to report the measure to the floor of the house and the session adjourned without final action. The situation now is that the park is without means to secure funds to complete several features and to provide for a regular annual main tenance which was hoped for under an organized district. A committee was appointed con sisting of J. H. Reid, George Har- kenrider, F. C. McKenzie and W. J. Warner, to present the matter to the various organizations of the town and surrounding country, and de termine upon a plan to make the best uses of the park and secure necessary funds for its proper care. The club also set April 7 as clean up day and directed that a commit tee be appointed to take charge of the work. This committee will work in cooperation with the schools and other organizations of the town, and sub-committees will be appointed for each block. Other matters discussed were the possibilities of an egg packing house here where eggs may be assembled graded, cooled and shipped in car lots. There were 21 members present at the meeting. EARLY TURKEY POULTS AT DEMOSS FARM A report comes from the DeMoss Turkey farm that over 6000 turkey eggs have been set and another set ting of 4000 is being worked up for delivery to the Coe ranch at Stan field. The DeMosses state that elec tric lights have been a big factor in obtaining early production from their turkeys. They are on the Uma tilla Electric Cooperative associa tion’s rural line. Because of this they expect to deliver all orders on specified dates. R. G. Saylor of Butter Creek has ordered 2500 poults and these will be brooded on the DeMoss farm. Production from the DeMoss turkeys is booked up until the latter part of May. The DeMosses built additional brooder houses during the winter to increase the carrying capacity of the farm to 10,000 poults but are spe cializing in custom hatching. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ * BOARDMAN * ♦ By RUTH FISHER ♦ Mr. and Mrs. R.
