tionally good. Several scholarships
have already been issued to students
who will enroll next fall. It is be-
coming more and more customary for
students to secure their scholarships
in advance and those already issued
indicate to an extent the far-reaching
method of the school as they are scat
tered in various counties of oregon
and Washington.
This school is getting a strong hold
on the young people of eastern Ore
gon and the adjoining state. Prof.
Gilkey of Prosser. Wash, says that
the students of Benton county are at
tracted to the Pendleton Business col
lege and a large number will proba-
bly, come here next fall. Similar
statements have been made by coun-
ty superintendent in Oregon coun-
ties.
This is the only school of fits class in
eastern Oregon, and the only school
that gives straight commercial
course that is confined to those things
which are really essential to the bus
mess man. 1t has located more stu
dents in offices this year than ever in
the past and takes pride in the fact
that all are receiving a salary above
the average. The equipment has been
added to during the past year and

MORROW COUNTY HAPPENINGS
Compiled From the IIcppncr Gazette
and Times.

Frank Lee this week purchased a
small lot of wool from Mrs. Jack
Mills, paying 22 cents per pound for
1t. This is the highest price paid for
wool ip the Heppner market this sea-
SON.
w. o. Minor returned Tuesday from
Grant county where he has been the
past three weeks with lot OF his
Shorthorn herd. Up to the time he
left he had sold 22 head and thinks
he had the remainder of the lot sold.
Among the cattle he took to the in
terror was Roam Marlin, his fine show
bull, who has taken number of
prizes at state fairs. While the deal
for this fine animal has not yet been
closed Mr.. Minor feels confident that
he is sold -

the equipment for although not a
commercial necessity. it will be a
great convenience in calisthenic work.
Mr.. Churchill expects to spend the
rest of the summer on the road, and
will make a personal canvass as far
as possible, of all the eastern Oregon
counties and a short strip in south
ern Washington. He will probably be
aided later in the summer by another
experienced man from the east. The
school will continue In session until
about August first. No important
changes in the course of study will be
made as 1t is considered fully up to
the standard and the changes in the
faculty will be of minor importance.
AS this school draws strongly from
outside points and its students live
and spend money in town, 1t has be-
come very important factor in the
commercial life of the city and should
receive a generous support.

RUSH BOISE PROJECT.
Ten Hour Day Oh Government Ditch
in Order to Complete II i'm Limit.

Secretary Hitchcock has ordered
that work on the Boise-Payette irriga-
ton project be rushed, and has auth
orized that portion of the project be
completed by force account.
The secretary has adopted this plan
in order to preserve priority of water
rights and thus render possible the
early completion of the work as de-
manded by the Idaho state law. The
law in question requires that one
fifth of the work be completed in
one-half the time limit of five years
on the life of water permit.
1t has been decided by the depart
ment that the eight-hour law will be
ignored on the work on the Payette-
Boise project owing to the conditions
prevailing and 10 hours will prevail
as before.
