GOOD AMUSEMENT AS
SURED FAIR VISITORS

Proof that good amusement is as
sured the Fair visitors by the North
west Show Company is taken from a
clipping in the Colfax Commoner and
shows what the people of that city
think of the shows:
The show is located on the base
ball grounds and is being enjoyed by
both the residents of this city and
the farmers of the surrounding coun-
try. A record crowd visited the show
on the opening night and every one
was we'll pleased with the program.
Prof. LaRose with his wonderful
illusion shows was the center Of in
terest for the adults while the young
visitors flocked to the nierrygo-
round and the ferris wheel.
The company is putting on a good
show and they are drawing splendid
crowds. A number of startling free
acts are shown before the big tent be-
fore each performance and Saturday
evening at s o'clock championship
wrestling match will be held between
Oscar Scharberry, the champion mid
die weight wrestler of Iowa and A
Lambert, the best middle weight of
San Francisco.
One Of the pleasing features of the
show Is the high class and clean form
of amusement which is being furnish
ed by the company.

CHAMBERLAIN ASKED
:. TO HELP WHEATMEN

In connection with various efforts
made to have the government price
fixing board give northwest farmers
the same price for wheat as is guar
anteed at Chicago a message was
yesterday sent to Senator Chamber
lain asking for his aid in the matter.
The message was written by H. j.
Taylor and when sent carried the sig
natures of many prominent local far
mers. The message is as follows:
Pendleton, Ore, Sept. 8.
Hon. George E. Chamberlain,
Washington, D. C.
We, the undersigned farmers, re-
spectfully request and urge you to
join Senators McNary and Botah in
trying to secure same basic price for
wheat for Portland and Seattle as
has been established at Chicago. W,
feel that northwestern farmers are
being Disseminated against owing to
heavy freight rate to Chicago and es.
pecially so as we understand most or
our wheat will be milled on this
coast. Portland and Seattle are nat
ural terminals for northwest. We
understand 1918 crop minimum price
Is established on basis Portland and
Seattle as primary markets. We can
not understand why this should not
apply to this crop. We also under
stand Canada's price of $2.40 is based
on western as well as eastern ter
minals.

LEXINGTON SCHOOLS
WILL OPEN MONDAY

The Lexington public schools open
next Monday, September 10 under
the supervision of Professor n. E.
Fertig, who succeeds Professor S. H.
Doak. Professor Fertig comes from
Hood River and is man who has
had wide teaching experience.
Professor Fertig has specialized to
a considerable extent in organization
work and one of the new features
which he will inaugurate will be the
apartment work, wherein every
.tacher instructs every pupil and ev-
ary pupil in turn becomes RESPONSE
BILE to every teacher. This is sys-
tenn worked out successfully by Pro-
fessor Fertig and he is confident it
will meet with success in Lexington.
A new course, tha 4 music and
art, is being intrCC-,ed for the first
time this year a. will be under The
direction of Miss Bauer, who comes
with Professor Fertig from Hood
River.
The enrolment will be large this
year, is the belief of Professor Fer
tig from present indications. AL
though the call to colors has effected
the high school to a considerable en-
tent, many new families are moving
into town and the net result will
make for an increase.
The teachers chosen for the year
are Miss Ballard, Miss Millett, Miss
Baker, Miss Bauer, Miss Holdredge
and Miss Carmichael.

NEW BUTTER AND
MILK LAW EXPLAINED
Portland, Ore, Aug. 2S, 1917.
Editor Times:

Portland, Ore, Aug. 2S, 1917.
Editor Gazette-Times:
Judging from correspondence COM
ing to this office it would seem that
considerable misapprehension exists
among dairy farmers relative to the
requirements of the law passed by
the Legislative Assembly of 1917,
which requires the pasteurization of
all milk and cream sold to consumers
and all by-products of creameries or
cheese factories if not produced from
tuberculin tested cows.
Would you, therefore, do ME the
favor and your subscribers service
by allowing me space in your valu-
able columns to place before your
readers the exact text of the law
which is known as Chapter 332 of the
General Laws of 1917; Section 2 of
which reads as follows:
That from and after Sept. 1st,
1917, it shall be unlawful for any per-
son, firm, company, corporation or
association, to sell or offer or expose
for sale or exchange, for human con-
sumption any milk from cows that
have not passed the tuberculin test,
unless such milk shall have been pas
teurized as hereinafter provided. 1t
is understood and hereby expressly
stated that nothing in this Section
shall apply to the delivery of milk or
cream to creameries, cheese or con-
densed milk factories by the producer
of such milk or cream, or in bulk to
the wholesale trade
1t will be noted from the reading
of the above that this part of the
law does not apply in any way what
ever to any dairy farmer who is SELL
ing his milk or cream to a conden-
sery, creamery, cheese factory, milk
depot or any manufacturing plant,
but said condensery, creamery,
cheese factory, milk depot or manu-
featuring plant are held responsible
for the process of pasteurization.
On the other hand, if dairy farm
ers are making what is known as
dairy butter" or any other milk
product and selling the same direct
ly to consumers, then and in that case
they come under the purview of this
Act.
Section 5 of the Act makes provis-
ions as follows: milk from any COW
or cows whose owner or leesee shall
apply to the State Livestock Sanitary
Board to have such COW or COWS tu-
berculin tested shall be exempt from
all of the provisions of this Act un-
til such time as such COWS shall have
been tested" This application should
be made to DR.. W. H. Lytle, State
Veterinarian, Salem, Oregon.
Signed,
j. ID. MICKLE,
Dairy and Food Commissioner.

OREGON'S WHEAT MEN
MAY NOT GET 2.2O

Portland, Or, Sept. 3.-That Ore
gon wheat growers will not get$2.20
for their wheat, but something more
nearly 81 rs in the average was the
assertion Saturday of E. j. Sommer-
vile, pioneer wheat grower of Una
tilla county, who is registered at the
Imperial hotel from Pendleton.
"The $22O price is for No. 1
northern hard wheat, the very best
American grade, in the Chicago mar
ket," said Mr.. Sommerville. "In the
first place, most of the Oregon wheat
will not grade up that high. There
will be very little No. l wheat and
most of. it will run second, third and
even fourth grade. There will be a
slight differential on the grading,
from to 10 cents off, and in addi-
tion the Oregon price will be the east
ern price less the freight to Chica-
go, which is 80 cents So you see
the grower here can hardly get more
than $1.90 and with the inferior
grades predominating, the average
probably will be around $1.75 or
$3.50.
"On the whole. there will be no
complaint from the ranchers about
this circumstance, except that we do
think some adjustment in rate diff
ference should be made. For in
stance, growers in Illinois, Iowa and
Minnesota, with the shorter haul to
the Chicago market, will not have the
freight cost discount and they proba-
bly, will receive from Is to 20 cents
more than we do out here"

Dear Editor:

Lowell is in the Bisbee copper min

At this time they will not allow
any stranger to enter the district
without him proving his business

The people here are very bitter
against the l. w. w. and will not
stand for any foolishness at all.
There are about 10000 people locat-
ed in this district within radius of
about five miles. 1t is in the noun
tains and the climate is ideal, much
cooler than at Heppner. We have
a fine camp and excellent accomo-
dations, just on the outskirts of the
town. l am in command of the medi-
Seti wi po at bulo pldCC.

YOUNG PEOPLE URGED
TO ATTEND SCHOOL

The following is an editorial ap-
pearing in the Oregonian August %:
Bishop Carroll, of Helena, saw
clearly the need of the future when
he issued an appeal to young men and
women not to neglect their oppor-
tunities for higher education this
year. TOO many of our boys" he
said, "are satisfied with the know
ledge that enables them to manipu-
late the plow and the harrow and the
reaper. But if we are to feed our
selves and oar allies during tha.com,
ing years, our farmers boys in vastly
increasing numbers must fit them
selves by higher education to solve
the problems of the scientific culture
of the SOIL"
1T would not be economy in the
end to neglect education for any tenn
porary advantage that might be gain
ed. We shall need knowledge of
scientific methods more than even in
the future, whether fate holds war or
peace in store for us. All during the
time Europe is being restored, we
shall be called upon to help in the
work. This is not confined to farm
ing, but the rule holds good in every
vocation. Broad vision and wide
sympathies, Bishop Carroll points
out, will be essential, a well. as
craftsmanship, and they are the po-
sessions of educated men and women.
The day has gone by for the man who
is content to fit himself for nothing
better than to work with his hands.
"In any event, the great work to
be done will call for directing hands,
and modern methods and labor-sav-
ing management. The door of op-
portunity is only beginning to open
to the trained man. The high schools
and colleges, now about to resume
their activities, have lost heavily in
the upper classes, whose members
have heard the call to action, but
there ought for the good of the coun-
try to be heavy freshman enroll
ment. The youngsters can serve
their country we'll by sticking to their
books and laboratories for while
longer"
The above expresses admirable
provision and hard-headed advice
There never was time when tie de-
mand for higher education was as
paramount as at the present, nor one
in which the opportunities for trained
men and women as great. If the
world is to be made safe for democ-
racy, it must come thru higher intel
lectual and moral training, and if the
present generation is to reap the full
est benefits of the industrial era that
will follow the war, the young men
and women must prepare for it thru
thorough cultural and technical in
struction. Civilization is not a myth.
This war is only the dying throes of
absolutism-the worlds fifth intel
lectual awakening. We believe as
never before that our fathers were
right when they said Religion, NOR
ality and knowledge, being necessary
to good government and the happi-
ness of mankind, schools and the
means of education shall forever be
encouraged" The board of educa-
tion of Heppner has acted upon that
belief and have endeavored to make
the coming school year the best pos
sible. They have added to the high
school classes course in domestic
science and art, have increased the
