OFFICIAL LIST Of
MORROW CO. DRAFT
First 100 Men From Here, of Which
First 81 Are Subject to
First Draft.

We are publishing herewith the
name and serial number and In the
order drawn of the first 100 Morrow
county men in the master draft list.
Morrow county has been among the
last in the state of Oregon to receive
the official list. Local officials expect
to receive it from Adjutant General
White today. We have taken this
list from the official list as published
in the Portland Oregonian. Owing
to the fact that Morrow county's
quota is Al and fifty per cent allow
ance made for exemption, 1t is expect
ed that the first draft will effect only
the first 80 men drawn in the coun-
ty. Subsequent drafts will call forth
the men in the order in which they
were drawn.

PEOPLE ARE SLOW
TO ACT ON PAVING
Street improvements Are Wanted BY
Some But Big Majority Are In
different to Serious Situation
Which COnfrOnts City.

The property owners of Heppner
move slow. The agitation for street
improvement is waning but the sit
uation is not only as serious now as
formerly but is growing more acute
at the days go by.
Another meeting of city officials
with property owners and tax payers
was held Wednesday evening in the
city council chambers and Mayor Not
son announced that from expressions
received to date, the ratio stood 16 to
10 in favor of crushed rock as against
paving.
The question as it stands today is
not one of absolute paving and moth
ing else. 1t is question of doing
something soon to improve our
streets and thereby eliminate the
chuck holes which are growing deep
er and rougher.
The statement was made by city
official a short time ago, and it is
statement that stands we'll nigh in
vulnerable so far as the attacks of
those who are opposed to any kind of
street improvement is concerned. He
said, 'the condition of our streets
next winter will be such as to make
them impossible to traffic unless
some immediate steps are taken to
improve them" He called attention
to the present worn out condition of
Main street, brought about largely
by the continual wearing of heavy
automobiles and trucks. The holes
which are apparent now, will fill
with water when the fall rains come
and the process of erosion will 60 on
unabated.
Now that a majority of property
owners have decided for crushed rock
it is possible that the city council may
be able to 60 ahead with that kind
of improvement. 1t Is possible that
the cost may not be so great that
bond issue will need to be voted.
However, We believe that If bond
issue of this nature was put before
the peopl it would carry with an over
whelming vote. Again, it is possible
that the money needed might be
raised by popular subscription. One
thing appears certain and that is, if
nothing is done for our streets now,
there will be larger demand for i'm
provement later on, and when that
time comes, it seems logical to be-
lieve the cost will be greater.

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
Wallis, July 31.-Growers of win-the-

part of their surplus products by
evaporating them at home in SIM
pie and cheap homemade evaporator

almost anyone who cares to under
take it may build at home an effec-

The capacity of this evaporator is
six bushels, Since most of the evap-
GRATED products can be dried out to a
good keeping stage in about six hours
it is readily seen that the products
may be handled in commercial guam

quently be possible to construct the
drier out of such materials as are at
hand, or to remodel some unused
building, such as the smoke-house,
with heat produced by the idle heat

Men and women who used to sun
dry their fruits and keep off the flies
by mosquito netting for several days
to each batch find great satisfaction
in drying their fruit and vegetables
in few hours, rain or shine.

auto salesman. He has sold two car
loads of Chevrolet cars in as many
weeks. This car is proving popular
with Morrow county people and bids
fair to become a real rival to the
Ford. 1t is light car, but costs
more than the Ford.

To Those Who Have Signed pledges to the
RED CROSS WAR FUND:

1t is hoped that those who have signed pledges
for Red Cross payments will respond promptly to
the notices of installments due, which were mailed
out last week.
Wherever possible, payment should be made for
the ENTIRE balance due, rather than just for the
respective installment. This will save needless
bookkeeping for those who are volunteering their
services in this connection. &c. if at all possible, pay
up in full now for the entire amount you have sub
scribed. Make checks and money orders payable to
the First National Bank, Heppner, Ore, and mail
them in promptly.

day settlers of Delaware county, died
at the home of his daughter, Mrs
Cecilia Stansberry, in this city, March

ton had reached the age of SO years,
month and 81 days. He was born in

A LIVELY RUNAWAY.

Franklin Lawrence, son of Mrs.
Adah Lawrence, figured in a run
away on the streets Of Manchester
Monday afternoon, which threatened
serious results. The team started on
Franklin street and came down the
street at break-neck speed. The light
road wagon to which the team was
hitched was being swung from one
side of the street to the other, until
it. landed squarely against a heavy
lumber wagon on lower Franklin
street. The young man was thrown
from his wagon and landed several
feet from the wreck, striking the pave
ment with full force. Fortunately he
had on heavy fur overcoat, and when
he was thrown to the pavement, it is
believed that this is what saved him
from receiving serious If no fatal in
juries. Aside from severe skin bruises
Franklin escaped with slight bruises.

BOY PASSES RIGID
EXAMINATION,

Roscoe Bowman, son of DR.. and Mrs.
l.. j. Bowman, successfully passed the
mental examinations required by the
United States government in order
to gain admittance to the naval acad-
emy at Annapolis, Maryland. These
examinations are about as strict as
government officials know how to
make them. The yong man took the
first examination at Dubuque, in COM
petition with large number of young
men from many of the best high school
in eastern Iowa. He passed this ex-
animation successfully. Then he was
notified to take an examination in
the western part Of the district, at
Waterloo, in December, and again
received the highest marking. Last
month he took the last of the three
examinations, in Cedar Rapids, and
was again successful Congressman
Burton E. Sweet notified Roscoe last
week that he would be summoned to
Annapolis early next June for the
physical examination, and admission to
the United Safes naval academy.
Naturally, the young man and his
parents feel rightly proud Of the re-
markable record made. While natur-
ally of keen intellect, Mr.. Bowman and
his parents say that his success in
passing the examination is due to the
careful training and schooling re-
ceived in the Manchester High school
under such efficient instructors as
Miss Riddell and Miss Graham and
Superintendent j. S. Hillard. The
Democrat congratulates the young man
upon his excellent showing, and we
predict that some day he will work
himself to position Of prominence
in the service of his country.

AMES GRADUATE GOES TO RUS.

Manchester people will be interest
ed to learn that Mr.. and Mrs. Hull,
the latter OF whom was formerly Miss
Vira Moore, and and daughter of
Rev. J. Frank Moore, are soon to sail
from San Francisco, California, for
Ekaterinburg, Russia, where Mr., Hull
will superintendent the construction
of large smelling and copper res
fining plant for an English Copper
company.
Mr.. Hull holds degrees in both
electrical and mechanical engineer
ing departments OF Ames. During the
past seven years preceding the pres
ent year he was employed by the en-
gineering departments of the Anacon-
sda Copper Mining company both il
Great Falls and Anaconda, Montana
The latter plant is the largest cop
per producer in the world, turning out
at the present time approximately
3O00O,000 pounds pei. month. This
vast output represents vast SIN,
when it is known that copper is SELL
ing at % to 80 per pound. Dur
ing the past year Mr.. Hull has been
chief construction engineer for the
Arizona Copper company. Ltd, with
headquarters at Clifton. 'The new
position which he IS t. FL i Rus
sia will be that Of chief engineer for
an English Copper COMPANY, operating
at Perm, the great mining district Of
Russia. The headquarters Of the com
rany are at Ekaterinbure. on the east
slope of the Trails, city ~ 100000.
Nv Hull will :iperin ,iden. among
o;uer buildings the co.'s: action Of a
new smelter, en- electric refinery, and
q large power house. lie will install
the new flotation system in connec-
ton with the concentrator-a system
which uses oils and acids, agitated by
electricity for extracting copper which
uSou u De lOSt Ill I'N' "hSIC' hS
company plans alSo It. manufacture
On the groull e large part OF the
machinery used in the plant Mr.. Hull
will have charge OF all the designing
of such machinery. After the per-
old of construction is over he will
remain in charge Of such engineer
ing as is constantly needed in a
plant of such size.
Mr. and Mrs. Hull will sail from San
Francisco on the 18th Of April. going
by way of Hawaii, Japan and up the
Vladevostock, where they will take
the Siberian railway to Ekater-
inburg.
We have an idea that the services
of Mr.. Hull will cost the E;-rlish
company a. neat sum in salary. Mr..
Hull's securing this position from a
foreign company speaks volu i,s for
his ability as an engineer. and for
the engineering college at .Anes in
preparing young men for surh vx-
cellent position
Manchester friends wish Mr.. and
Mrs. Hull and their baby a safe
journey.

The above is the list of success
full candidaes at the city election on
Monday. Interest centered in the al
dermanic elections which furnished
the only contests of the day. Some
confusion was experienced in the
nominations of candidates owing to
the fact that no one seemed to have
noticed the change in the law requir-
ing the nomination of candidates at
least fifteen days before election in
stead of ten days as heretofore.
The supporters of the candidates ION
the Manchester" ticket were active
rolling in the votes. while the candi-
dates for alderman on the "Union"
ticket made no effort on election day
to carry the election, several having
been nominated without their consent
and having declared they would not
qualify if elected. The same was true
of some of the candidates on the "Man-
chester" ticket.
Considerable energy was exerted in
behalf of some Of the individual can
didates by friends of candidates for
positions to be filled by the new coun-
Gil The position of city manager is
looked upon as desirable job, with
its salary of s125 per month, and we
presume we may expect that as long
as the present system obtains there
will be a scramble for it every two
years and it will go to the man who
can obtain the favor of majority Of
the council.
The members of the new ouncil
have many problems to wrestle with,
and we have no doubt they will use
their best efforts and Judgment to fur
ther the interests of Manchester The
Democrat hopes the new council will
give it's attention first to the improve
ment Of it's streets all over the city
not necessarily by paving them all but
at least by systematic and regular
dragging. The application of an ordin-
airy King drag will round up the
streets and keep them smooth and frea
from water pockets, ruts and mud
holes. The past condition Of some Of
our streets has been disgrace to this
enlightened community. Some of the
main travelled thoroughfares, of course
need hard surfacing and we trust the
public and the council will cooperate
in furthering the intelligent Improve
ment of our streets. The new coun-
Gil should also take over the super
vision of the oiling and sprinhng of
the streets.
