what are needed.lhere, He has
just recently completed about a
mile Of turnpike road along his
farm, using such machinery as
he could get and propelling the
same with his big traction engine.
The finished product of his labors
is highly praised as a splendid
piece of road work by those who
have had the occasion to pass
over it, and it is believed that
the work can be very successfully
carried out on. most of our roads
at very nominal expense. Too
bad that the county will not be
able to take up some of this
practical road work this coming
year because of a shortage of
money in the road fund, and
place Mr.. Campbell in charge of
it. 1t would certainly be a pay
ing investment for the county.

The lone Bulletin came out
last week in greatly enlarged
form, making its appearance in
the shape of it's first annual
booster edition. Mr.. Harlan
announces that he brought the
issue forth from his own plant in
the remarkably short time of two
weeks, and this is certainly a
good record for a small country
weekly. The issue contains a
considerable amount of descript-
i've matter pertaining to various
parts of the county; is well filled
with advertising from lone, Ir-
rigon, Lexington and Heppner,
and this part of the publication
looks mighty good to the printer,
and is we'll received by the pub
lie providing it is not too much
overdone. The hustle of our
up the line is indeed
commendable.

High School Notes.

The new desks have been installed
in the Commecial rooms and add
greatly to the appearance and utility
of this department.
We understand that Prof. Hoffman
and Miss CLARK will attend the meet
ing Of the State Teachers Association
to be held in Portland next week.
Christmas vacation comes next
week. Fom the teachers point of
view we have had more vacation than
is necessary already but the great
amount of holidays doesn't seem to
be worrying the pupils

causing some trouble this week. 1t

strong enough to ring the bell But
with Master Electrician Bergstrom on
the job we hope to hear the musical

When we have fire drill again it
is to be hoped that the CONNER ,ial
students will escape from the build

day we fear we would have been minus
few members of our commercial

There will be a musical program

All pa irons of the school are invited
to attend.
The next High school literary pro-
gram will be given on Jan. 2. This
will be different from anything given
by the high school heretofore. There
will be essays, Shakespearian sketch
by the Junior class, musical numbers,
a school paper, original poems and
several other interesting numbers.

An article in our December a,
issue, under the heading Of "Sug-
gests Manual Training" should
have been credited to Prof. Doak,
principal of the Lexington High
School. The article contains
much that is worthy of consider
alton by the three High Schools
of the county, as individually
they are unable at this time to
establish the important branches
of manual training and domestic
science. These things are being
taught successfully in many of
our best schools, and the students
of Morrow county should be
brought in touch with the prac-
tical training obtained through
these branches. We apologize to
Prof. Doak for not giving proper
credit for his article, and trust
that he will continue the argu-
ment in favor of the policy he
outlined therein.

holiday edition; our reply has
been No." and we have given
our reasons therefor. The time
will come, we hope, when we
shall be able to get out a special
edition but it has not arrived yet.
There has been a lot of booster
stuff published and paid for
heretofore and this has gone
forth to spread the tidings of
wonderful "old Morrow county, "
an d so far as practical results
are concerned it has been money
wasted. The literature was of a
very high order, finely printed by
the best printing establishment
on the Pacific Coast, if not in
America, and the subject matter
was not overdrawn, vet these
things are discounted to such a
per cent that no good results
follow. The same thing is large
ly true of special editions and
from our experience in these
matters In the past we are slow
to go before the people of this
county on this kind of a boost
er" proposition and ask them to
give us their hard dollars on this
sort of a plea; it is too much like
a bunco game. Commercial clubs
and individuals can accomplish
more actual good by subscribing
to the local papers and have
them go into the communities
they desire to reach as a
weekly visitor chronicling
events as they occur without
coloring, and if this is kept up
for number of months at a
time much better results are OBJ
tanned and the expense in con-
nection Herewith is much less
and more evenly distributed. To
say the least it is largely lifted
from the shoulders of the bust
ness community who are called
upon to support the paper liber-
ally the year around.

our people that he is a successful

The business men of Heppner
are waking up to their opportu-
mites, and we are compelled to
announce that they are not dead,
tho they might have been sleep
ing a little late on some PROPOSE
tions, the proper consideration of
which is somewhat past due.
The Ritter road is, now to be
completed into Heppner. The
money is raised, and the work
will be pushed at as early a date
as possible in the Spring. This
means more trade for this town
and it will come from a commun-
ity of prosperous people, Hep
pner is the outlet for a very
large section of country. There
are other roads to be opened up
and other communities to be
reached, and it is gratifying to
see the business men taking hold
in substantial manner of these
things that are bound to build up
our little city.

WAISTS WITH NEW TOUCHES
washable Crepe de Chine, Heavy
China Silk and White Madras Are
Favorite Materials.

Among strictly tailored waists those
mannish shirts with the soft turned
over collar and cuffs are popular. Usu-
ally they are made of washable crepe

ras in white. and white with q colored
stripe. Buttons of colored glass are
very effective when they match the
stripe of the silk.
In addition to the mannish silk
waists that are worn with the strictly
tailored suit the business woman will
welcome those in challis. flannel and

the usual mannish style, with the front
opening, and soft collar and cuffs. but
