WORK is UNDERWAY
TO PUT B0ARDMAN
TOWNSHIP IN SHAPE
Crew of Men Engaged in Grading
the Streets of the New Village.

Work was commenced last Monday
on the Boardman townsite when a
crew of men and teams began grad
ing the streets. Owing to the severe
winter the townsite company has
been delayed in its operations but
work will now be continued as rapid
ly as possible. When the streets are
graded sidewalks and tree lines and
grades will be established and trees
planted along every street and around
the entire town.
The railroad company has con-
structed a sidetrack and lumber will
be unloaded in few days on the lots
of the lumber company adjoining the
railroad right of way. The building
of six business houses Will then be
commenced and others will be con-
structed later in March and April
Dodd & Kennedy of Hermiston,
who own the townsite, will erect an
office building and open an office at
Boardman and will handle the town
site and lands adjoining. They will
sell the Northern Pacific lands and
other private holdings and will have
maps showing the homestead lands in
that locality. Al of these lands will
be under the government canal and
none will be offered except those that
are to be irrigated this year. An
nouncement of the opening of these
lands will be made in few days.
A school building will be provided
for the oponing of the fall term this
year. The townsite company will do
nate sites for church buildings.
Boardman is on the Columbia river
and the main line of the O.-W. R &
N, just west of the junction of the
new Coyote cutoff and the Spokane
line. The lands adjoining are of the
best grade of alfalfa soil and easy to
reclaim. The water is ready for the
land and the government is behind
the proposition. Twenty years is CIV
en-, without interest, on the water
right and the private lands must be
sold at lowest prices. The homestead
lands are free and can be fled on in
about 40-acre units to each entry
man.
The land slopes gently from the
government canal toward the Colum-
bia and there are many slightly and
desirable tracts. Boardman will be
the trading point for all land within
six miles of the town, covering 20,-
900 acres of irrigated land. The
main body of the lands of the great
John Day project, on which the new
governments have just been made,
lie from three to fifteen miles from

GOOD ROADS MEAN COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT; NEEDED HERE

1t has been said that "the high
waymen are the real builders of com
munities." The man who said this
did not mean those men who rob pee
pie on the highway, but he did mean
those who have anything to do with
the building Of good roads, from the
man who prepares the plans and
specifications to the man who handles
the pick and shovel as well as the cit
izens who boost for good roads. By
good roads we mean the public high
WAYS to and from market and not the
scenic bouieyards. The taxpayers
realize that it is right and imperative
that they be taxed for the construc-
tion of roads but they demand that
the money be spent as judiciously as
possible and this is right. 1t is es-
sential in this county that good roads
be built so as to render the market
easily accessible eft all time Of the
year. But this does not mean that
this county should have hard sur
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1916-03-02

faced roads. On the contrary they
are not wanted here and in fact are
not needed. What is wanted and
needed here is that the roads be es-
tablished on the proper grades and
the drainage properly arranged. Then
macadam should be used where nee
essary and the road should be grad
ed and rolled, perhaps oiled, else
where. Aside from the market value
the good road has a social value also.
The isolation of farm life, and this is
worthy of especial mention here, will
be largely overcome by the construc-
tion Of better roads. There will be
developed a real community spirit,
which will radiate from the commun-
ity center. Rural social life will be
uplifted and the neighborhood spirit
strengthened, adding to the efficiency
of the schools and churches. The
taxpayer has many reasons for want
=; ing good roads and he has the right
to demand prudent expenditure OF
| his money.-Condon Globe.

Millions Lost.

1t is estimated that so to 500 mil
lion dollars are lost by farmers of
this country every year thru ravages
Of rodent pests-squirrels, gophers
prairie dogs, sage rats and the like
Years of effort has clearly proven the
uselessness Of guns, traps or serums
The only safe and certain wholesale
method rests in the effective use OF
properly prepared poison at the right
moment.
Experience has proven that farm
ers can seldom prepare these poisons
in an economical or efficient manner
The columns of this paper carry the
ads of reliable preparations of this
nature. Strychnine-coated grain,
properly treated and marketed by re-
liable firms, constitutes a much more
afe and certain method of Kidding
he farm of these pests than any eX-
2erimental treatment thru printed
formula.
Grain and alfalfa growers, or
chardists, should bear in mind that
the psychological moment to exter-
inmate the pests is when they first
awaken from their winters sleep,
ravenous for food, At this time they
will eat dry grain without hesitation,
and if properly placed, every one can
be exterminated, including the fe-
male with unborn generations Of
rain eaters. AS soon as the grass
egins to throw out its roots and
ndrils, the rodents turn directly
, them from the dry grain. Delay
4 this time means failure, no mat
er how efficient the poison may be.
No farmer can afford all the ex
pense of plowing, seeding, paying
taxes on the land and harvesting
half or a fraction of a crop because
Of neglect to kill these pests at the
right moment. One pound of stan
dard squirrel and gopher poison has
been known to kill hundreds OF
squirrels. Could there be any better
investment than this for the farmer? ?

Some Tick.

A tenderfoot in Canyon City grew
intensely interested in the subject OF
ticks. He was impressed with the
danger that comes from the bite Of a
tick, but he had no idea of what a
tick was. Returning from a short
walk up Canyon creek he said that he
saw several ticks crossing the road
and was afraid to get near them
What he saw was grounding, but
as ignorance is bliss, it would have
been cruel to inform him of the truth
and SO today he is telling his eastern
friends how big the tick grows out in

ment inasmuch as he holds the title
and is in a position to dictate the
terms, although 1t must be admitted
that McNulty has succeeded 30 far IN

Wartnik has come to the front lately
with an offer to fight Ertle any num-
Der Of rounds and in any place In the
country under the same conditions that
the boys boxed at st. Paul, and VIII
put up any kind Of 4 side bet that

London recently the gloves worn by
Charlie Mitchell ex-champion Of Eng
land, in his three-round bout with the
great John L. Sullivan in Madison
Square Garden. New York, when for
the first time In his life John was
knocked of his pins. were sold for
$12.5o. There are many keepers Of
buffets in this country who would have
paid twice that amount for the same
gloves The match at the time at
racted a great deal OF attention. and
1t was due to the fact that Mitchell had
knocked John L. OF his feet that
brought about their championship bat
tie In Chantilly. France. in 1888. when
they fought thirty-nine rounds to
draw. In that contest John L. was
badly handicapped by the wet condi-
ton Of the ground. and he was about
exhausted when the seconds of the
fighters finally agreed to call 1t draw.
At the same sale the colors worn by
Dick Burge when he fought Kid La
vigne for the lightweight title were
sold for 81. Burge was beaten in this
battle, but 1t was a desperate one.
