FIXING A MINIMUM WAGE

tile board were of the opinion that sui. hcient accommodations for all the girls living 'adrift" could be had for s4.50 week or less in boarding houses. and for SA90 week or less in rooming houses and restaurants, provided that all were willing to 1.-Two twoin 2 room. Some of the employers contended that It was reasonable to require all girls to live in thls manner. Some of the other members maintained that this was not a reasonable requirement. tn the ceSe of all; for many girls are un- able to obtain a suitable roommate, while others are so opposed to this ar rangement that they would prefer to live in an unheated attic room, pr go without sufficient food
 Food and Lodging
 The majority of the mercantile board finally decided that an allowance of $4.s0 per week would provide good ac- commodations for all who were willing to live two in room, and would prob ably cover sufficient number of sin gle room places to care for those who had reasonable grounds for declining the double room arrangement. The ma jority of the manufacturing board adopted the recommendation of $f.io per week.
 The employer members of the nor cantile board proposed that the mini  mum wage recommended be $I per week They defended this proposal on the ground that s7 week Is decent living wage for all girls living at home. and that these constitute the great majority. It Is true that a girl can live at home, and pay her proper share or the family expenses, at an outlay or from S1 to s2 less than the same stand ard of living would cost her away from home.
 To the objection that a minimum aa- justed to this standard would leave the girls who were "adrift' lnsufficientiy protected whereas the law was enacted especially for their protection. the em- ployers responded that the number or girls living away from home who were getting less than living wages even now was so small that they should be provid- ed for otherwise than by establishing R wage SO high as to cause great hardship not only to employers but to employees who would not be able to earn the legal minimum.

s. E. Notson is in receipt of let
ter from ]. R. Ellison, general man

you good people over there for the
progressive move you have taken.

qua will be one of the most popular
features that Heppner has ever at

expression is the same. After the
Chautauqua is on for two or three
days, people begin saying, eff we
had only known how good this was
going to be we could have packed the
tent the first night"
Through the excellent publicity
manager, local people will be able
to learn from time to time the var
ious excellent features which will be
presented by the Chautauqua.

c. C. Boon Visits Old Home.

Today is not the first time that c.
G. Boon, father Of Mrs. Will Wy
rick, has been in Pendleton. He is
an old timer Of the Sos and first
saw Pendleton in the days when
there was not more than house or
two here and when "Whistling"
Thompson ran a pack train from
Umatilla to Idaho. He first came to
the county in 1867 after having been
a soldier during the Civil War. He
also has a brief record as soldier
here though he saw no fighting
1t was in '78. when the Piute In
dian war was on and AL Bunker was
slain by Indians near Cayuse. A COM
pany was formed at Milton where
Mr.. Boon then lived and he was made
a lieutenant. The company came
down to take part in driving the In
dians away. They reached the north
bank of the Umatilla river at the very
time when federal soldiers were fight
ing on the reservation against the
hostiles from Idaho. Owing to the
fact that the water was up in the riv-
er the Milton company did not get
across and they took no part in the
fighting. However their help was
not needed, anyway, as the regulars
defeated the Indians.
Mr.. Boon is now resident Of Lex
ington, Morrow county, and this is
the first time he has been here in 20
years. He was we'll acquainted with
A. W. Nye and many other old time
settlers here and has been busy to-
day greeting old friends and enjoy
ing talks of the days when the real
Happy Canyon was on the map

Forest Notes,

White pine and yellow pine are the
woods most used for boxes, and each
contributes more than billion feet
to the box industry annually.
The annual cut of British Column
bia timber is approximately billion
feet. There are 420 mills and 100
logging camps in the province, EN-
ploying $4,000 men.
The Massachusetts forestry asso-
citation offers as a prize the plant
ing of fifty acres of white pine, to
the town which gains first place In
a contest for town forests.
The Boise national forest in Idaho
had 80 fires during the past summer,
yet 2S were held down to less than
10 acres, and Of these Is were less
than one-quarter of an acre. The
supervisor says this success was due
to lookout tower, and the efficient
telephone and heliograph service.
Because of the war, English man
ufacturers and consumers Of wood
pulp have been caused considerable
uneasiness. Production is at a
standstill in the countries at war, and
in Norway and Sweden, principal
sources of supply, mills have been
greatly hampered because Of lack of
coal and of chemicals. England has
practically no domestic sources of
pulp.

Oregon Station Leads in Dry Farm
LegumeS.

oregon Agricultural College, Cor
Wallis, Ore, Dec. 14,-"The Oregon
Experiment Station is the only one in
the United States that has made a
success Of growing legumes on a
practical scale under extreme dry
farming conditions" said Professor
H. D. Scudder on his return from the
international Dry Farming Congress,
held in Wichita, Kansas. For this
reason the Oregon exhibit attracted
a great deal of interest, being contin-
ually surrounded by large crowds of
people who asked many questions
concerning the legume production.
The field peas and alfalfa exhibit
ed at this congress were grown at
Moro and Burns, where the annual
rainfall averages less than twelve
inches. Other dry farm products
were displayed from the experiment
stations of this state grown under a
lower rainfall than any other exhib-
its in the entire exposition
Since the purpose of the dry
farming congress is to distribute
knowledge gained by the experiment
stations so that farmers can put this
knowledge in to practical use, it is ex-
pected that the legume exhibit of the
Oregon station will do much to in
troduce and extend the practice of
growing legumes on dry farms, The
dry farming experiment stations
work in Oregon is only about six
years old, and the early and marked
success in growing legumes for crop
and for soil fertility purposes is one
of its important achievements.
An address on DRY Farming in
Oregon and What the Oregon EXper'
iment Station is Doing With Dry
Farming Legumes," was delivered al
this congress by Professor Scudder
who is member of the executive
board of the congress-.

Gets Feet Frozen.

While going from town out to his
sheep ranch last Friday evening.
John Mollahan was so unfortunate as
to get pair of frozen feet. He did
not realize that the temperature was
such that he was in danger of frost
ing feet or hands but as he was on
the road for considerable time the
cold got in it's work and he found he
was badly frost bitten. He was
brought back to town and has since
been under the care of a physician.
DR.. McMurdo states that the man is
now getting along all right and is in
no danger of being deprived of the
use of his pedal eXtremeties.

MARTHA E. YOUNG.

Daughter OF Alfred H. Hooker and
wife, was born October 23rd, 1868,
at Franklinville, Lynn County, Kan
sas. She came to Oregon with her
parents in 1883 and on February
18th, 1885, she was united in mar
riage to J. S. Young in Morrow coun-
ty.
To this union have been born sew
en- children, six of whom survive and
are at present residents of this Sec
ton. These are Mrs. Eugenia Hus-
ton, wife Of Give Huston Of Eight
Mile; Robert H., Harvey E., Ebert
Ray, James Glenn and Enreta Fay,
who with the father are left to mourn
the loss of an estimable wife and low
ing mother.
Besides these, the following men,
bers of Mrs. Young's own family are
left: Edwin Hooker, TWIN Falls,
Idaho; Leonard Hooker, klamath
Falls, Oregon; Delbert Hooker and
William Hooker, Medford, Oregon
Mrs. Iva Haines, San Francisco, Cal; ;
Mrs. Belle Nelson, Oakland, Calf. ;
Mrs. Eve Freidenburg, and their aged
mother of Medford, Oregon.
Mrs. Young passed away at Hepp-
ner on December 10th, 1914, after a
short illness and her funeral was held
from the Federated church on Sun
day the 18th at l l a. m, the services
being largely attended by friends and
neighbors, especially of relatives and
friends from the Eight Mile and
G Sc b erry sections, nieghbors
among whom Mrs. Young has resid-
ed for so many years, who came to
express sympathy with the family
and to show the high regard in which
the departed was held by those know
ing her best.
Rev. Ferris, pastor of the Federat-
ed church, conducted the services and
delivered a short, impressive and
sympathetic discourse after which
the remains were followed to their
last resting place in Heppner ceme-
terry and laid away by loving hands.
Many beautiful flowers decorated
the casket, these having been pro-
vided by the friends and neighbors
of Mrs. Young, and in the parting
words of the pastor at the grave the
appreciation of the stricken family
was expressed for all the kindnesses
and tender sympathies extended in
the hour of sickness and bereave-
ment.
Mrs. Young was strong woman in
matters pertaining to morals and re-
ligion and in every way an estimable
woman, and the vacancy caused by
her death, not only in her ramily
but in the entire community, cannot
be more fittingly expressen than In
the words chosen by her pastor as the
foundation for his funeral discourse,
"Thou shalt be missed, because thy
seat will be empty

SCHOOL NOTES.
By Supt. S. e. Notson.

Miss Zena Houser teaches the
school in District No. IA. The en-
rollment is IA. The water supply is
Kept in new closed tank, and the
pupils have individual drinking cups.
The windows have been rearranged.
so that the light comes into the room
from the left and rear of the pupils
The floor has been oiled. A new globe
has been purchased reeeasly,
Miss Vera Langdon is the teacher
IN District No. 21. Nine pupils are
enrolled. A new set of maps and a
new map Of Oregon have been added
to the equipment recently. A new
dlctlonary and shelf upon which it
rests has also been purchased. The
water supply is kept in closed Jar.
In District No. %, Miss Elsie
Moore is the teacher. The enroll
ment Is nine. There is growing
sentiment in this district for a new
schoolhouse, and it is very probable
that plans will be made for building
one In the near future.
In District No. 40, the school is
under the direction of Miss Ruth
Bowman. The pupils we're hoping
that my visit would occur little la
ter, so ! could see them with the new
blackboard and new desks, which had
been ordered. However, number Of
improvements had already been
made, among them were new win
dow shades, closed jar for the wa
ter, a new set of maps, new diction-
ary and shelf, and new globe. The
teacher and pupils are quite proud of
the progress they are making toward
standard school.
In District No. 3S, Mrs. Clara Bea-
mer is at the helm. The enrolment
is IA. The water supply is kept in
closed jar, fitted with a faucet.
Some new blackboard has been pur-
chased and will soon be in place
Water is kept on the stove to furnish
moisture for the atmosphere of the
room. The library books are kept
in good case. A new standard pic
ture has been placed upon the walls
New window shades have been pro-
vided for the windows.
Winter seems to be settling down
with prospect of some quite cold
weather, School boards should see
that the foundations of the school
buildings are in good condition. Poor
foundations and cold floors mean dis
comfort, loss of time, colds, and
pneumonia. 1t is poor policy to de-
lay fixing the foundations in time
A good jacket, entirely surrounding
the stove. aids greatly in keeping the
floor warm as well as helping in the
ventilation of the room. Arrange.
ments should be made for keeping
water on the stove. When the school
room is kept closed. except the slight
openings of the windows provided
with window boards, the air becomes
very dry. If supply of water is
kept on the stove, the danger of tax.
ing cold will be lessened and the
comfort of the pupils will be in.
creased. These are small matters
but they are easily forgotten and
often neglected.

RuYS q EeW Horses

John H. Luck, of Pendleton, has
been in Heppner during the week
picking up some horses suitable for
cavalry use. A large number of an
imals were brought in and inspected
by Mr.. Luck but he made few pur-
chases as much of the stuff was not
up to the standard he had fixed and
on the other hand the prices offered
did not seem to appeal very strongly
to our horsemen, many of wkom have
feeling that they will do much bet
ter in this regard few months
hence. However, the standard fixed
for cavalry horses has to be met and
there is little use in trying to induce
one of these buyers to take an ami
NAL for the service that does not
come up to the requirements. Mr..
Luck did his own inspecting and
gathered in few head.
