MORROW COUNTY JUVENILES
BUSY IN INDUSTRIAL WORK

Morrow county school children
will do much more than ever before
in the Industrial Club and fair work
this year, according to report just
received from Field Worker, N C..
Maris, by Superintendent j. A. Chur-
chill. Mr.. Maris says clubs have
been organized in about twenty of the
schools of that county, most of which
he, in company with County Supern-
tendent s. E. Notson, visited last
week. The club members were given
instruction and encouragement re-
garding their work, and were urged
to hold their club meetings during
vacation. Arrangements were made
to send the children's exhibits and
the two winning boys to the State
Fair The idea of assisting in MAX
ing the county fair better, and of ad-
vertising the county through their
exhibits at the State Fair, appealed
to the boys and girls, and they have
promised to do their best. The fact
that Morrow County won first in the
Eastern Oregon Contest last year,
stimulates the children to greater
efforts in the juvenile department
this year.
Only small per. cent of the grain
in Morrow county was frozen out Mr..
Maris says. With the recent good
rains and favorable weather, the
crops look promising, and the farm
ers are jubilant over the prospects OF
heavy yields and good prices.

BIG MEDICAL COLLEGE
PROMISED TO OREGON

The greatest medical center west
of st. Paul and north of San Francis
co is to be established in Oregon. 1t
is to be in Portland and to be built
around the medical school of the
University of Oregon, which is even
now the only medical school in the
northwest states and seems unlikely
to have any opposition.
Portland is asked to raise $4,000
to go with $4,000 appropriated by
the last legislature to start building
program. The site, one of the most
scenic educational sites in the world,
was donated by the Oregon Washing
ton Railway and Navigation Company
during 1914. 1t overlooks the Will
lamette river and the city of Port
land, being on the heights south of
the city, and commands view of the
Cascades, the Columbia, the Coast
range, and the lower Willamette val
ley.
The 500, 900 that is in sight is to
be devoted to the first unit of a med
ical building. DR.. X. A. j. Macken-
zie, dean of the medical school, hopes
to induce Portland and Multnomah
county to join in putting up on the
medical campus large city and
county hospital. City and labora-
tory work is expected to gravitate to
this institution. thus centralizing
laboratory work now done under sew
eral auspices.
DR.. Mackenzie says some of the
most important American medical
clinics in the United States are now
found in the middle west, and that
Portland too can be a medical center
of national Importance.
/ The medical school of Oregon is
even now rated Glass A in American
! medical circles.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

Monthly examinations have been
in progress this weak and everybody
seems to be taking life a little more
seriously than commonly. The fac
ulty have expressed the hope that the
grades for the last months work
will be of a little higher standaTd
than seems to have existed formerly.
1t is a good deal to ask of the stu
dents to pick up in their work when
the fine spring weather is coming on
and interest in athletics is increasing
at rapid pace.
Arrangements are being made for
the construction of hurdles and prac-
tice in this department will soon be-
gin.
The Biology class is working hard
on their garden and hope to have
everything ready in few days.
The Glass Night entertainment by
the Seniors will probably be given
on the 21st of May. This will con-
sist of the two-act farce comedy "The
Mishaps of Minerva" and various
stunts"
N. C. Maris, Field Organizer of
the Boys and Girls Industrial Clubs,
and also working in the interests of
the o. A. c. Extension Bureau, gave
stereopticon lecture in the high
school auditorium last Friday eve
ming There was fair attendance
and the lecture was greatly enjoyed.
Mr.. Maris is pleasing speaker and
his appearance in Heppner is always
welcomed In the afternoon of the
same day he organized an Industrial
Club in the Heppner school.
The literary program, announced
last week for Friday, was postponed
on account of the Maris lecture. 1t
will be given tomorrow (Friday
evening, and the patrons Of the
school are invited to attend. There
will be a charge of 20 cents, and the
entertainment with out doubt viii
be we'll worth this small sum. The
proceeds will go to defray athletic
expenses. AS this is the only way in
which we can raise money for this
purpose it is hoped there will be a
good attendance so that our athletic
expenses may be paid without trou-
| BILE.

NEW ROAD ON EAST SIDE Of WILLOW
CREEK INTERESTS COMMERCIAL CLUB
The Commercial Organization OF Heppner Would
Push the Work of Better Roads Leading Into
the City.

The usual large attendance was O
feature of the meeting OF the Hepp-
ner Commercial Club on Monday eve
ming. The great interest of the bust
ness men of Heppner is certainly.
manifested by the very earnest solici-
tat;on they have for the welfare OF
this body; their zeal for the upbuild-
ing of the town in which they live and
do business is manifested by the
great enthusiasm with which they en-
ter into the proceedings of the meet
ings OF the club and the large. at
tendance they furnish at all the de-
liberations of the body. There was
an attendance on Monday evening of
at least ten tried and true citizens
of the city and of course large
amount of very important business
was transacted.
Now the above is to some extent
Satirical. 1t is not said, however in
any spirit of malice, but rather that
our business men might be stirred to
take more interest in this commercial
body and manifest this interest by
attending the meetings and getting
genuinely interested in the matters
up for discussion.
There are many matters of great
Importance to the town of Heppner
We are losing cut to the more enter
prising communities, and much trade
that this place is entitled to is being
diverted
What's the matter? Are we asleep
entirely?
Only last week it was necessary for
this paper to take up the discussion
of the removal of the forest head
quarters to Pendleton; in that dis
cussion we were inclined to upbraid
the Pendleton Commercial Associa-
zion for its apparent policy of hog
ging" every good thing in sight; at
this time, however, we are inclined
to recall what we said in that par
ocular and commend that body for
being wide awake and active to get
anything that will help in the up
building of their city. That is whsA
they exist for and they are going out
after those things that put Pendleton
on the map and make business for
that city.
We are interested in the building
of some roads leading to Heppner;
at least We should be. There is the
proposition of getting the tourist
trade coming our way. The people
of lone have got busy and they will
get this travel as far as their city,
thanks to the hustle of the live ones
down that way, and it should be M
10 Heppner business men to get in
line for the extension of the good
work this way, and bring that travel
on through this town. Good roads
will bring it. This means trade for
our hotels and business men, our ga
rage owners and the sellers of gaso-
line and oils.
Then there is the Ritter road.

Nebraskans Will Locate Here.

r. d. Estelford and wife, of o.
Neil, Nebraska, will arrive in Hepp-
ner in a few days, and they expect to
locate permanently in Morrow coun-
ty. Mr.. Estelford was engaged in
the mercantile business in Nebraska
but will probably locate on farm
here. Mr.. and Mrs. Estelford are the
parents of Mrs. Kenton Rakes OF
Black Horse. George Francis and
wife will also arrive from the same
place in about two weeks. Mrs
Francis is a daughter of Mr.. and Mrs
Estelford.

Why enough wind has already been
spent to build this twice over and yet
1t is not completed and now Pendle-
Ion is bestirring herself for this
business also, and will go out and
will go out and take it right from
under our nose. The completion of
the Ritter road is a thing that the
Commercial Club of Heppner is in
terested in. One of the essential
steps toward this is the construction
of that portion coming into town
from the Hager place. The new line
for this last stretch was surveyed this
week and the road is laid out on the
east side of Willow creek all the
way from Heppner to the Hager
place, distance of about four miles.
The county court is ready to make
this road but there are a few hin
ORANGES, minor ones to be sure, that
the county would like cleared away,
and these things the citizens of
Heppner can adjust by getting at it.
The time to build this new piece of
road is right now. Immediate ac-
tion is the slogan, and then just as
soon as the weather conditions will
permit, the further work of opening
up the Morrow county end of the Rit-
ter road should be completed and
the trade OF that section brought to
Heppner this spring.
Asastated before, these were some
of the matters discussed at the Mon
day evening meeting of the CONNER
cial Club And further, the committee
on streets and public roads is called
upon, by motion duly passed and no.
ted on the minutes, to investigate
the claims against the opening up of
the road mentioned herewith, aud to
make their report at special meet
ing Of the Club to be held next Mon
day evening in the council chambers
promptly at eight o'clock.
The report of the special commit
tee in charge of the petitions for op-
eni, upof new mail route between
Heypner, Hardman. Monument and
points eAl the H4ystack Valley in
Wheeler county, was submitted by
Mr.. Phelps who stated that the petit
tions were completed and had been
forwarded to the proper authorities
and that letter had also been sent
to Hon. N. j. Sinnott, congressman
from this district, urging him to use
his good offices in getting favorable
action on those petitions by the post
office department.
Various communication of inter-
est to the Club were read by the sec
retary and those were referred to
the proper committees for action.
The special meeting on next Mon
day evening should be attended by
the citizens of Heppner regardless of
whether they are members of the
Club or not, as the business to be
discussed is of interest to the entire
community, and the business men
especially.

POTATO BULLETIN IS
READY FOR GROWERS

A bulletin that makes suggestions
to Oregon farmers about marketing
their potatoes more successfully has
just been issued by the University of
Oregon school of commerce. Co.
operation among growers is advised
as one means of bettering conditions
that often in recent potato years have
been none too good for the producer.
The facts in the bulletin have been
gathered from all over the world and
make up broad survey of the potato
industry. United States stands third
from the bottom in yield per acre;
Belgium produces 200 bushels more
an acre than this country; Germany
doubles the American yield per acre;
Germany, with total area less than
that of Texas, plants about 100000
more acres than the entire United
States. The bulletin calls attention
to heavy importations by the United
States from abroad. Low cost of
fertilizers, rotation of crops and low
wages in Germany are partly respon-
sible for German success.
The question of competition is tax
en- up, and it is shown that Bermuda
potatoes, for instance, bring an aver
age of $1.44 bushel, whereas Greg
on's average price is 5S cents. 1t is
shown that Japan has driven the
United States out of the potato sup
plying market in the Philippine Is
lands. Byproducts from the potato
are taken up and facts regarding the
manufacture of starch, alcohol and
stock food are submitted.
