COUNTY INVESTS IN
METAL ROAD SIGNS

Nothing smaller than German
Krupp gun will be able to mutilate
the new metal signs which Morrow
county has recently purchased and
will shortly put up at the many road
crossings throughout the county.
About 100 of these signs have been
bought. Many of them point out the
way and the majority of them have
the number of miles between given
towns. In the past it has been hard
to maintain wooden sign boards for
the reason they were so easily des-
troyed.. The new signs should wear
forever. The county made a good in
vestment.

LEXINGTON SCHOOL OPENS NEXT MONDAY

The Lexington high school building
was completed January l, 1915, at a
cost of $4,000.
1t is splendid building, is modern
and up to date, with plenty of room
and equipment to offer the very best
of advantages in school work to all
pupils both in the grades and high
school.
In the basement is the well equipp-
ed labratory and manual training
room.
On the first floor are three grade
rooms, teachers office and domestic
science and lunch room.
On the second floor is one grade
room, two class rooms, library and
the assembly hall A feature of the
new building is the incline, which
makes going up and down stairs an
easy matter. The building is steam
heated and electric lighted through
out.
School will open September II, and
we would urge an early enrolment to
secure all the advantages. We are
looking forward to a successful year
of work, and you will aid greatly by
coming in early.
Our school will be Standard

|PENDlETON JUDGE
MEETS MANY Elk
PendletOn Tribune.

Surrounded by a herd of fear
crazed elk, Judge J. w. Maloney, OF
this city. went through a hair-raising
experience during his hunting trip In
Union county. The judge saw an elk
standing on hill a short distance
away. He cut down below and un-
Willingly came upon the whole herd
of 20 or more not 20 feet from where
he stood. He crouched in the brush
under a tree but the animals got his
scent and stampeded. They couldn't t
locate him and charged all over the
place in their efforts to discover the
invader. One Of them came so close
that the Judge says he could have
|poked him with the gun. They fin
|ally ran off and the judge was re-
leased from his imprisonment.
The party included besides the
Judge, DR.. H. S. Garfield and ]. F.
Mason of Pendleton and J. f. Nowliu,
former county school superintendent,
who is visiting here. Mr.. Nowlin was
the only one of the party to get a
deer. He brought down fine five
point buck on the first day and they
thought they would easily be able to
get the limit. The ground was too
dry, however, and there were too
many other hunters in the neighbor-
hood so they were forced to content
themselves with the one. They had
meat enough to last through the trip
from that one animal.
They found few birds but were not
watching for them. They went out
from North Powder and hunted in the
section just east of the Grande R0nde
river.

ChOpping Helps Alfalfa.

BY chopping alfalfa hay for feed
ing cattle. even after allowing $3.50
per ton for the chopping, the Eastern
Oregon Branch Experiment Station at
Union was able to make gains at the
usual cost and at the same time put
on little more finish. "The trouble
with the fattening of steers on hay is
that they often do not get quite fat
enough for market" says Professor
e. l.. Potter, in reporting these ex-
periments. 'If there is any way In
which they can be made to gain just
a little more finish, it will be Of i'm
mense benefit. 1t would seem from
these tests that cutting the hay may
be the solution"

HarvestC lost but ;
IL Cents Per Bu.

1t cost Chas. Pointer of
Lexington the low price of
three cents and a half per
bushel to harvest his 1916
wheat crop. Mr.. Pointer
and j. F. Mcmillan pur-
chased a threshing outfit at
the opening of harvest and
they followed the system of
heading and threshing to-
gether. Mr.. Pointer figures
he saved ten centh a bushel
by this method for had he
hired his grain harvested he
would have had to pay in the
neighborhood of 13 cents.
There are many advan-
tages in the method they
used, according to Mr.. Poin-
ter. But the main one is the
saving made over the old
method. The Pointer-Mc-
MILAN outfit had a four
weeks run and during the
entire time lost only a half
hour. Mr.. Pointer has about
$500 sacks of wheat which is
now being hauled to the
warehouse in Lexington. He
has not yet sold the crop.

A quiet wedding took place at the

Wheat Makes Yield
Of so Bu. Per Acre

One acre of wheat on the
Ed Hunt ranch south Of
Heppner made yield of six
ty bushels, is the report
brought to town by Tom
Driscoll, Jr., who is sewing
sacks for Mr.. Hrnt.
Mr.. Hunt is following the
system of heading and
threshing together and all of
his grain is exceptionally
heavy this year. An acre of
the best of it was marked off,
cut and threshed with the
result of the sixty bushel
yield. Mr.. Hunts average
will not come near this figure
but from present indications
it will produce between 35
and 40 bushels per acre, ac-
cOrding to Mr.. Driscoll.
All fields in the south end
are making a better yield
than was predicted before
harvest started.

Store Men Catch Real Bird"

A real bird" as w. E. Leach called
1t, was on exhibition at the Leach
Brothers store in Lexington last Sat
urday. The bird" was nothing more
or less than big black tarrantula
which had come into the store by the
banana route. When the bananas
were opened by one of the clerks, the
huge spider jumped from his home
among the fruits and went jumping
across the store. Several women we're
in the store at the time and from the
reports. they must have jumped about
as fast as the tarrantula. That the
bird" can Jump was evidenced when
he jumped out of a jar before the lid
could be placed thereon.

From present indications, the 4th
Annual Morrow County Fair will be
greeted by the largest crowd in its
history, when the doors at the Fair
grounds swing open next Thursday
morning.
Secretary Smead has received COM
munications from people in neighbor-
ng cities who announce they are COM
ing to the fair and are bringing the
family In a letter from s. R. Old
aker at Hermiston, Mr.. Smead re-
ceives the welcome news that large
number of people are coming over
from the project city. Similar reports
have been received from Echo, Pen
dleton and Pilot Rock 1t is highly
possible that special train will be
sent over from the Umatilla county
metropolis.
More good news comes from Port
land. The Chamber of Commerce. of
that city is making arrangements to
send up delegation, and in addition
to the usual crowd of former Hepp-
nerites who take in the annual event,
the Rose City will be represented by
the largest number that has yet come
to the fair.
Undoubtedly the greatest feature in
the free attraction list will be the
daily flights by Herbert Munter, the
Seattle aviator. Munter has a repu-
tation that is nationwide. His menu
of dips and turns will give the spec
tators hearty meal of awes and
thrills. Nothing has ever yet been
done in the dizzy heights that Munter
does not do. His Dive of Death was
never excelled by Lincoln Beachy,
say those who have seen this peerless
aviator perform Two years ago the
fair board gave Morrow County Fair
visitors their first opportunity to wit
ness the flights of an air navigator.
Silas Christofferson was the first man
to bring an airship into the county.
His flying was of very conservative
order, although he did not fail to
please his crowds. But Munter has
some thrills not given by Christoffer-
son.
The board has arranged for lee
lures on dairying, horticulture and
agriculture by speakers who are spec
ialists'along these lines. The lectures
will be given in the new city hall,
which will be appropriately fitted up
for the occasion. One of the speakers
at this time will be F. w. Kehrli of
La Grande, dairy expert who is a
graduate of the Oregon Agricultural
College and at the present time en-
ployed by the college in its extension
uCpuI tAlCuI
| At meeting Of the business mer
Tuesday afternoon, it was unanimous
ly decided by those present that the
business district of the city should be
decorated during the fair. At the
present time Secretary Smead Is cor
responding with Pendleton decora-
tor, and it is probable that he will be
given the contract for decking the
city streets in systematic and pleas
, ing manner.
The city council had planned to
have the streets oiled before the fair,
but they have been unable to secure a
car load of oil at this time. so the
streets will be sprinkled with water.

Padberg farm for the past five years
and will now give that up and go
