MORROW COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER
Thursday, October %, 1915.
THE WILLOW CREEK HIGHWAY

1t is pleasing to note that the ma
jority sentiment expressed at the
lone road meeting last Friday favored
good, permanent roads for Morrow
county. That the majority of the
taxpayers present at that meeting
were in favor of voting a special tax
levy OF mills for the construction
of some permanent roads, was shown
in the result of a vote taken. The
motion to put the proposition of
special election to vote mill tax
for the purpose of building a graded
highway from Heppner down Willow
creek to the Gillian couny line, car
ried by vote of SO to q of the tax
payers.
Naturally there was opposition to
the motion. That opposition as was
voiced by several men present who
are in reality in favor of good roads,
was based on the reason that the pro-
posed road Improvement does not
take place in their particular neigh
borhood. Ii good road work is to be
accomplished in any section of Nor
row county, it will be necessary for
certain concessions to be made by
those not in favor.
That there should be a we'll graded,
substantial highway through Morrow
county, there can be no question.
Since the logical outlet of travel
through this county is through the
towns of Heppner, Lexington and
lone, through the Willow creek val
ley, then this is the logical place for
the trunk highway to be built. Other
units of permanency will arrive soon
after by the districts tributary to
the Willow creek road taking similar
steps as have been taken here, and
before many years, the couny will
have net work of good roads.
The taxpayers of these three dis
tricts should realize that the fve-mill
tax which is to be levied will be an
investment of money into something
permanent, and something that will
return to the county increased thous-
ands of dollars as the years roll by.
In the first place, the upkeep of roads
in these districts will be diminished,
for the reason that it requires less
money to keep up good road than
a poor one. Safer and speedier means
of transportation between the main
towns Of the county will be possible.

Tourist travel which will increase
by leaps and bounds in the next few
years, will be attracted to the Pacific
coast by reason of the great high
ways, Autoists travelling from one
end of the coast to the other will like
wise take the best routes offered 1t
behooveS the people of Morrow coun-
ty well to look out for this travel, and
good roads will be the strongest fac
tor we will be able to produce in di-
recting travel this way, The building
of main highway down Willow
creek will more than likely mark the
beginning of permanent road work in
Morrow county. and the sooner it
starts the better it will be.

COMMUNICATION.
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
! Since the discovery of successful
waiter getting in the finding of the
"gusher' gotten by those enterpris-
/ ing citizenS-the Newlons-all who
know of the wonderful natural re-
sources of Morrow county will admit
that it is destined to become the gar
den spot of Oregon, the renowned
Willamette valley not excepted.
Fruits of all kinds, grain, vegetables,
clover, dairy products and stock in
bounteous productions are there for
the application of energy in practic-
able ability.
1t is not expected that every one
who drills for water will strike a
gusher or even an artesian flow in a
country as undulated and ununiform-
ly located as Morrow county but since
the discovery of the late invention of
a cheap drilled rotary pump, now be-
ing manufactured here in Portland,
which was on exhibition at the State
Fair in Salem, has proved its ability
to take large quantities of water
from which successful irrigation can
be handled, no one should be re-
luctant in trying for water for irriga-
tion purposes in country so Won
derfully acclimated and fertile as
Morrow county.
In all drilled wells in that county
the uniform success of water getting
has been a great rise from the strata
in which it is found. By means of
this pump wells which do not flow
can be made to produce large guam
titles of water for irrigation purposes
with small upkeep for gasoline and
the installation of plant.
o. All praise to Mr.. and Mrs. Newton
and may their enterprise be taken up
by every citizen in that county and
all who have interests or can go there
to add in its development.

POTATOES GOOD PIG FEED

Because of the surplus of white or
Irish potatoes now on the market and
the consequently low prices, many
farmers have been seeking informa-
ton as to the possibility of feeding
them to hogs.
Many experiments have been con-
Quoted in Germany and other foreign
countries as we'll as in the United
States to determine the value of po-
tatoes as feed for swine. In Ireland
and Germany farmers feed large
quantities of potatoes annually. From
experimental data it has been con-
cluded that 4 to Y bu. of potatoes
when cooked are equal to about l
bushel of corn for putting gains on
hogs. Therefore, if corn is worth 80
cents a bushel, potatoes when fed to
hog would be worth only is to 20
cents bushel. There may, however,
be instances where it would be more
advantageous for the farmer to feed
to hogs right on his own place at
least part of his crop rather than
to haul these potatoes to an already
overloaded market.
According to the concensus Of
opinion, potatoes are fed to the best
advantage when cooked or steamed
and mixed with other feeds. Ex-
periments in which raw potatoes
we're fed alone have been reported.
In certain instances the raw potatoes
are said to have caused scours. How
ever, raw potatoes in small quantities
and in diet lacking succulence may
be conducive to health in pigs.
In cooking potatoes only enough
water should be used to make a
mealy mash and prevent burning.
The resultant meal should then be
mixed with corn meal or other grain
supplement. Tankage skim milk, or
meat meal would probably add to the
profit of the mixture. Potatoes when
prepared in the manner described
and under the conditions mentioned
can often be fed to pigs with advan-
tage.

A gloom was cast over great
many of lone's citizens last Sunday
when the report that Watt D. Brash-
ers and his mother had both died
within few hours of each other.
Some of us had heard of their not
being well but we could hardly be-
lieve it when we learned of their
death. Both bodies were taken to
lone where services were held at the
Christian church, Rev. Reynolds hav-
ing charge. The floral offerings were
lovely and the church was full to
overfiowing. The remains were laid
to rest in the lone cemetery. Eunice
Gray Brashers died Oct. "a, 1915,
aged 70 years. She was born at Elk
hart, Indiana February 18th, 1S45.

hoped that he might give single chap
ter to the development of his famous
herd of high bred cattle at the farm in
Kenosha county but evidently the de-
velopment of the herd has been a pas
time for the senator and he did not CON
slider it pertinent to the story of his
life or interesting in connection with
his recounting the story Of the develop
ment Of big industries in Wisconsin.
The story of the life and work of the
former senator is not published for gen.
eral circulation but efforts will be made
to have copy of it for the Gilbert M.
Simmons library. The copies received
in Kenosha this morning were addressed
to close personal friends Of the senator
with whom he had life time acquaint-
ance. The edition has been limited to a
thousand copies and as it is printed
privately it is not expected that there
will be any other editions of the work.
While the political interest in the
book will appeal to people who have
been in public life the charm of the
book comes in the chapters in which the
rancor of political bitterness is elimin-
ated. The former senator has told a
charming story Of the life in Wisconsin
in early times. He knew fully the rig
ors of the pioneer life and the story Of
his family brings out this feature in a
most interesting manner. The book is
not all in the first person. In his dis
cussion Of those eras in the history of
Wisconsin, Senator Stephenson has
made many references to the work of
his close personal friends and many
tributes are paid to men who gave much
to the development of Wisconsin.

HAS HURRIED MARRIAGE.
Main Street Saloon Man Brought fntc
Court on Monday Afternoon

Arranges to Marry.


Charles Bocjkowski, proprietor of the
America saloon on Main street was
arrested late Monday afternoon on a
statutory charge and on Monday even
ing he was released from custody after
he had arranged for an immediate
marriage with Mrs. Annie Kopts who
has been living with the saloon man
as his wife In Kenosha. Bocjk0wski
had come to Kenosha from Illinois
some two months ago and he brought
the woman and a large family Of chill
dren with them. Mrs. Kopts had been
known as his wife in Kenosha and
they had maintained home for the
children. Bocjkowski declared when
he was brought into court that he had
planned to marry the woman when
they came to Kenosha but that he had
been so busy with other matters con
nected with business that he had not
been able to find time to have the GER
emony performed Mrs Kopts was
not arrested but she gave assurance
that she was ready and willing to be
married at once. A license and a spe-
cial court order for the marriage has
been issued and it will take place dur

hour without weakening. "Well I am

said Christensen and then he poured
out his story.
He needed the money and he had
sought to borrow it from relatives and
they had failed to come to his rescue.
He wanted to develop some sympathy
which he could capitalize with cash

revolver against his head.
He cried little as he related the
story of a story, but he he pleaded
not to have any publicity in the mat

to Kenosha and he told his story to
District Attorney Drury. He was told
to come back today and face a charge
of operating an automobile without a
license and he left what money he had

Chapter Of Activities in

COPIES OF BOOK IN KENOSHA

Kenosha people are just little dis
appointed with the memoirs of Senator
Isaac Stephenson. Copies of the new
book issued by the senator reached Ke-
nosha this morning and the disappoint-
ment to the many friends Of the sena-
tor in the city and county comes from
the fact that he has made no mention
of his activities as "farmer' in Ke-
nosha county. While there is a lot Of
political history contained in "Recol-
lections of Long Life" it is not by
any means given over entirely to the
story of the political movements in
which Senator Stephenson was concern
ed On the other hand the greater por-
tion of the book is given over to de-
cidedly interesting recounting of early
personal history of the former senator
and the story of the development of
great numbering industries of the state.

jake just like they did those of
the more ancient liar who won the
title and held it.
Lest you may have forgotten, Jake
Christensen was the estimable young
man, who just like the fellow on the
road to Jericho, fell among thieves.
The road to Jericho was not in this neck
of the woods so Jake pulled his falling
up on the Lake Shore road on Tuesday
morning. He made an excellent job of
it, but like all great liars Jake was too
good. He attempted to stage a come
back and an encore. This first rob-
berry happened on Tuesday right in
broad daylight and on Wednesday with
only few hours for the tired deputy
sheriffs to rest from their arduous
hunting Jake pulled another robbery.
He called Sheriff Stahl and advised
him that he had been held up again
right in the same place of the road.
Then Sheriff Andy got suspicious.
He had been suspicious before. On
Tuesday he had brought into Kenosha
the rope which had been used to tie
Christensen up. He went out to the
garage on Tuesday afternoon. He
smelled fish. "Have any of you fell
lows been cleaning fish about here, =
the sheriff asked his aids and when
they declared their innocence he got
busy looking for the fshy smell. He
found that the strong odor of decaying
fish came from the rope with which
Christensen had been tied. "Wonder
if his story is as fshy as that rope, =
asked the sheriff. Then he got busy
thinking. He was still thinking when
he got the second notice that thieves
had set on Christensen. tsThe fellow Is
lying Stahl confded to the men
about his Office, "and we're going to
catch him at it. Stahl got hold of
Chief Baker in Racine and asked him
to pick up Christensen. Baker found
his man and put him over the hurdles
of the third degree for two hours on
Wednesday afternoon without results.
He is telling straight story
Baker told Sheriff Stahl when the Ke-
nosha county official reached Racine.
"Maybe he is, but this rope smells a
