GET READY FOR 1T.

The Directors of school district
No l, of Heppner, are facing the
necessity of making some quite
extensive improvements to our
school building as the structure is
inadequate for the present needs
of the school. Besides, the
building is needing some repairs;
it Should be painted inside and
out; the foundation is crumbling
III places, and in fact the build
ing is considered to be in an un-
safe condition.
The building was erected some
twenty years ago at a cost to
the district of $4,000. 1t never
was what it should have been,
and the placing of the structure
way up on the side of that hill,
was a great mistake, that can be
testified to by the parents OF
children attending, and sufficient
suffering has been caused on ac-
count thereof. 1t is pictur-
esque sight but impractical, and
should be condemned.
We are therefore opposed to
the spending of one cent by the
Board on the present school
house, and strongly favor the
proposition of building a new
structure on more suitable
grounds. To be sure, a building
to meet present and future re-
quirements of the district will
cost money and require the ex-
penditure of perhaps $4,000, but
it does not have to be paid in a
day, and by bonding the district
for a term of twenty years, those
to receive the benefits from it in
the future will help to bear the
burden.
So let US prepare for a new and
up-to-date school building of suffi-
cient size and proper equipment
for the growing needs of the dis
trict. 1t is a move in the direc-
ton of progression, whereas,
every dollar spent in improving
the old building is somuch money
wasted.

What is declared to be the
most valuable tract of farm land
in the state and probably in the
whole country, lies near Beaver
ton, in Washington County.
This fifteen acre farm is beaver
dam land and has grown onions,
valued at 5000 a year, for forty
years. The tract has produced
a total of approximately $3.50, 600.
Onions yield 400 sacks per acre
on this land and its richness
seems inexhaustible. 1t is
thought there is no other piece OF
land in the United States that
can show a similar record.

.TRI-COUNTY D. |.
DIRECTORS MEET
Date for Fair at Condor
Fixed for Oct. Is, 16 and IL
Some Prizes Arranged.

On Monday last the officers of
the Tri-County Development
League were called to Arlington
by President George B. Dukek
to fix the date of the first tri-
county fair to be held at Condor
this Fall, and also to arrange for
the premiums to be offered.
The meeting was favored by
the presence of Hon. j. N, Teal,
of Portland, and w. L. Crissey,
representing the Portland Com
mercial Club, and Prof. Orren
Beatty, expert agriculturist of the
Moro experiment station, who
came to lend their support and
assistance in futhering this work.
October 18th, 18th and 18th
was decided upon as being the
most favorable date for the fair,
being as nearly as possible be-
tween harvest and seeding. Also
this date does not conflict with
dates of other fairs.
There will be $1700 worth of
premiums given to the exhibitors
at the fair, besides a large num-
Der of merchandise prizes con-
sisting of silver cups and vases,
which are now on exhibition at
Condor, to which place Mr.. Teal
and party went to look after fair
matters.
A great deal of enthusiasm is
manifest in Sherman and Gillian
counties over the question of ex-
hibits and prizes and a splendid
showing is assured. Now let
Morrow county come to the front
with her products and the success
of the fair is assured.
A complete list of classes OF
exhibits and premiums to be
awarded will be mailed to all in
terested parties just as soon as
they come from the printers.
It's especially desirable that
we as a county make our best
showing at this fair as, where
permission Of the exhibitor is OBJ
tanned, the exhibits of fruits,
grains and vegetables will be
shipped to the great land shows
of the East, for advertising pur-
poses. In each instance the name
and address of the producer will
be attached so that interested
Fasteners may communicate di-
rect in looking for lands.
This is the opportunity for
which we have been waiting.
Let every man in Morrow county
prepare at least one exhibit fol
this great fair, thus proving to
the country at large that Morrow
county is on the map and is still
the Garden Spot of the Earth. .
