MUST HAVE NEW HIGH
SCHOOL, SAYS BROCK

AS a result of a brief sojourn in
southern California, w. e. Brock, who
ia a member of the school board, Is
more convinced than ever of Pendle-
tons need of a new high school
building.
when I left for California 1 was
favorable to building a new high
school here" says Mr.. Brock. But
did not by any means appreciate the
importance of that improvement as
do now. In southern California |
paid particular attention to school
affairs and visited many schools in
San Francisco, Los Angeles, Pasade-
ma, and smaller places with view to
learning what could upon the sub
ject."
"The southern California towns of
any consequence are erecting splen-
did school buildings. There are towns
down there that are not in as favor
able a position as Pendleton to do
such work yet they are maintaining
school structures that far excels those
we waintain. At Hollywood a sub
urb of Los Angeles and which has but
about 10000 people, the people have

ATHENA-PENDLETON
IS STILL POSSIBLE

Although the various good roads
laws were vetoed by the governor at
the request of the good roads associ-
alton which held them to be faulty
and although the Tuttle road law has
been repealed 1t is still possible that
a permanent highway may be con-
structed between Athena and Pendle-
ton.
For weeks past prominent farmers
and good roads men have been agi-
tating such a highway and sentiment
seems ripe for the improvement. 1t
is believed that the road could have
been constructed under the Tuttle law
or under the bonding act had those
laws been allowed to stand.
Under the circumstances such a
highway as proposed will have to be
built out of current funds II at all.
However there are many who favor
doing the work in this manner or at
least in doing all the work that may
be done with the money available
County Judge Maloney, who is favor
able to such a road, has intimated
that the road might be built even
| though the Tuttle law and the bond
ing law were knocked out. Thus far
no active steps towards asking FOL
such a road have been taken but the
subject is being discussed to quite an
| extent by farmers living along tho
road and " others.

The March term of the county court

the subject of the county's road work

to again recommend that the county

having the members of the court

the court virtually decided at a

DAIRY CATTLE COMING IN

One of the noticeable changes in
shipping conditions to be noted is the
number Of dairy cattle which are be-
ing sent west of the Missouri in lots
Of one and two carloads. Only few
yeas age, the spring shipments we're
in train load lots of young cattle sent
out to Craze on the range to grow into
beef shipments, but now the ship
ments are for milk instead of beef,
this condition being caused by the
homesteader cutting out the privilege
of free range; and the many cream
cries and cheese factories which are
being located at points through the
western half of the state and their de.
mand for milk for operations. While
the caring for dairy herds takes more
work than the care of beef cattle on
the range, their milk means steady
income the year around, and not ex-
pense all the year but in the shipping
months, with the returns at that time
alone.

GUARDIAN OF PEACE

1t is becoming increasingly evident,
daily, that the United States must
intervene to restore order in Mexico.
No one knows just what the conse-
quences will be when Uncle Sam does
step over the border fsr the purpose
of spanking the belligerents into some
form of decency. He may have. to
fight to bring about peace, or the
factions in Mexico may consent to &C.
cept him as arbitrator and lay down
their arms while he sees that Justice
is done. Whatever horn of the di-
lemma the Mexicans may choose to
sieze. the duty of the United States
appears to be plain. as the guardian
OF IF peace OF the western hemisphere,
he must see that the smaller nations
behave themselves, or ut least that
their quarrels do not endanger the
lives or property of other peoples.
