| now have at hand some very
interesting figures that will be of
interest to every Sunday school
superintendent, teacher and Schol-
ar.
In the County of jefferson we
have 1000 teachers, officers and
Sunday school scholars. The num-
her that 90 to Sunday school in
Colorado, 125,OOO. The humber
in North America, 100000. The
number of Sunday schools in the
world, 100000. The number of
people in all the world that go to
Sunday school is 3OOO0,000.
If all the Sunday schools were
placed at an equal distance apart
Of 500 feet they would reach al
round the globe.
If all the Sunday school army
should march in parade four a.
breast, eight hours a day, it would
take eight and one half months to
pass given point.
The average daily growth of the
Sunday school is fourteen Sunday
schools every day, / 400 secured
and 1000 converts won to Christ
and the Church every day in the
year.
We get these figures from the

have been two people to meet,
but instead there were eleven

made no difference to him. He
simply said, pile in" and back
up the the Wadsworth hill he
came slicker than grease. OF

MOUNTAIN DISTRICT
TO SEND EXHIBITS
Supt. NotSon Urges Pupils
Nearer Heppner to Pre-
pare Exhibit for Fair.

On Tuesday, | visited the Bur-
ton Valley school. Mrs. Harriet
Stephens is the teacher. There
is an enrolment of 18 in this
school, which shows that pupils
can attend school in the summer
time. However, attending school
in a mountain district is different
from attending at lower altitude.
Since my former visit, the in
terror of the building has been
painted and frightened up. A
new flag has been purchased re-
Gently. The windows have good
shades and neat sash curtains.
The decorations are tasty and at
tractive. The pupils have indi-
vidual drinking cups. In the
windows are a number of flower
ing plants.
The pupils Of this school are
enthusiastic about the fair. They
are planning to send in a num-
Der of exhibits. 1t is time that
some Of the pupils who live near
er the County Seat are beginning
to make preparations or they may
be outdone by the pupils who are
handicapped by great distance.
Let me say again, do not delay;
begin to get something ready for
the fair. 1t will all help to make
the fair a success, and you will
be glad you tried even if you
should not win a premium.

UMATILLA DITCHES
WILL Be EXTENDED
Secretary Lane Brings Joy
To The SettIers-Large
Tract Will be Watered-
Alkali Land to be Used.

At a meeting of the Pendleton
Commercial Club on Tuesday eve
ming, Franklin K. Lane, Secre-
tary of the Interior, gave posi-
tive assurance of the extension
of the West Umatilla irrigation
project, the fate of which has
been hitherto problematical. He
further indicated that he will do
all in his power to push through
the entire West extension of 50,-
600 acres just as soon as the in
itial unit of 10, acres is COM
pleted.
The plan is to enlarge the pres
ent project of 5000 acres which
will be irrigated from division
dam to be built just below Her.
miston. The proposed site will
cover only salt grass and alkali
lands, which would be virtually
useless.
The Secretary made three spe-
cific statements of prime impor-
tance to settlers.
First, that 100000, which he
has set aside, would be spent as
fast as needed on the first unit
of the extension.
Second, that he would take
care of settlers on deferred pay
ments and would give them as
long time as the limit of the re-
clamation act would permit.
Third, that he would send ex-
perts to investigate the question
of water and would see that each
settler got sufficient water.
Mr.. Lane made these promises
contingent upon the agreement
of the large land holders to divide
and sell their holdings in small
units. He, does not propose to
permit big landed proprietors to
receive the benefit of the Govern
ment's project development, but
proposes to favor the home
steaders as against the specula-
tors.
He Furthermore said he would
ask Congress to provide for an
issue of $50, 000,0 600 of irrigation
bonds to be used for the compile
tion of the projects now under
way because there is work ahead
for SIS, 900, 900 and there is only
$50, 000,00 available from the
sale of Government lands and re-
payments on projects already
built.
Oregon, said he, has not re-
ceived a proportionate share of
the reclamation fund and he pro-
poses to see that this state in the
future is treated fairly.
Oregon has contributed about
SO, 600, 600 and has received little
of the portion to which it is right
fully entitled" he said. Il in
tend to take care of you from
now on.
Mr.. Lane urged the people of
Oregon to write to their United
States Senators on the questions
vitally affecting the state, 80
they will know what the big mind |
is thinking and wants."
He also stated that he is a Wes-
terner and proud of it, that all of
his family is from west of the
Missouri river and most Of the
men in his department are Wes- |
terners too, and the people of the
West will get a square deal from
them.

Doak has been chosen principal of the

PORTLAND Ore. The close of the
1918 wool season in oregon brings to
light the fact that the clip was the
smallest the state has produced in
several years. This ard lower prices
resulted in the sheepmen of Oregon
realizing less money from the industry
than usual. But for the good prices
obtained in the mutton market the |
years operations would have made a
poor showing.
The total clip of the state in 1918
is estimated at about 16, 800 900 lbs.
as against a production last year of
lS 100000 pounds and a clip two years
ago of lS 900 600 pounds. The net
value of this seasons wool to the
Oregon growers was about 81 $50 600;
that of last year SO 600 600; that two
years ago 50 SEQ 600.

New Floors Will Be Laid.

Contractor Anderson is on
hand to lay new floors in the
new High School building. 1t
has been reported that the school
board had rejected the new
building, which is not a fact, and
the party spreading the report
must have made it out of whole
cloth. The board, however, were
not satisfied with some of the
work on the contract, and have
been determined that the build
ing should be completed in the
manner called for in the contract.
The floors were not satisfactory
at any time as they were laid of
lumber not properly seasoned, SO
it was put up to the bonding
company to relay them before
the building would be taken over
and the balance of contract money
due paid. This work will now be
pushed as rapidly as possible and
it is believed that it will be COM
pleted so that the building can be
equipped and occupied at the
opening of school on the fifteenth
of September. There has been
much speculation on the part of
some of our citizens concerning
this new school building but we
believe that when it is finally ac-
cepted by the board it will be
found that all delays have been
profitable, and that we have a
building well worth all it has cost.

W.A.CASSLER SELLS
BIG VALLEY FARM
Closes Deal For $4,000 For Land
Which Ten Years Ago Cost Him
$40 Per Acre
ALVIN G00DsPEED NEW OWNER,
Is First Class Farmer And Will
Continue To Make Improve
ments On Property

William Cassler, who ten wears
ago purchased what is now known
the Valley Farm, for $1,000 an acre,
Monday closed a deal whereby the
farm becomes the property of Alvin
Goodspeed, he having paid $56.25
per acre. the entire tract of one
hundred and sixty acres costing
$4,000.
When Mr.. Cassler took possession
of this tract of land, it as one mass
of jackpine. He Immediately COM
menced systematic clearing, follow
ing this up with proper fertilization
and rotation of crop until he had
placed his soil in such condition that
it is now considered one of the best
producing farms in this section of
the state. ..
Mr.. Goodspeed and family have al
ready taken possession and under his
instruction and farming ability, it is
predicted that this 100 acre tract
within few years will be one of the
best farms in the entire northwest.
What is known as the Miller farm,
about four miles southwest of this
city on the banks of the Mississippi
river has been purchased by Mr.
Cassler and he believes by proper
working of the soil that this property
will more than double in value dur
ing the next few years. This tract
comprises only twenty acres but is
located properly for an ideal truck
farm. - ..... s..... e.. >. -.
| The sale of the Valley Farm is
the second big transaction Mr.. Cas-
sler' has conducted this season. Sew
eral years ago he purchased 113
acres of stump land for So per acre
which at that time was considered
by many practically worthless. Sew
eral weeks ago this tract was sold
for $4,000. >--J
80 That improved farm lands in this
jackpine district are rapidly increas-
/ ing in value is selfevident. Very
few farms, modernly equipped and i'm
proved, are bling offered for sale, in
this section of the state, as the set
tiers who are coming into this COM
munity are buying cutover lands and
making their own improvements.
