lish descent. His birth was In
Haverhill, New Hampshire, on
November 27, 1916, in which place

early years of his life. His educat-
ional advantages were good and we'll
improved, being an alumnus of
leading academy. At the age of
sixteen years, he enlisted In Com
pany X, Seventh Kansas Cavalry,
where he served for nearly one yeai
or until the end of the war, being

At the close of the war he came via

remaining five years in San Francisco,
four of which were employed in the
mercantile business and one in the
service of the internal revenue de-
partment. In 1859, he migrated to
Portland, Oregon, engaging there in
the general mercantile business for
four years, and in 1875 came to this
country, or the region that is en-
braced in Morrow county, settling on
Rhea creek. Here he took up a Sec
tion Of land and started in the stock
raising business which developed into
the largest personal achievement of
any in this country Four years ago
Mr.. Farnsworth retired from active
business life. He served as city coun-
Gilman for eighteen years and two
terms as mayor of the city, giving
universal satisfaction by his faithful
ness and efficiency in the discharge
of the trusts thus incumbent upon
him.
Mr. Farnsworth was married to

COMMERCIAL CLUB IN
| TERE$TED IN PROJECT

There was meeting of the Com.
mercial Club on Monday evening
wiaA hut few chairman of commit
tees, together with the president and
secretary present. Several matters
of interest were brought up, and a
report was presented by F. R. Brown
showing the present status OF the
work being done to organize the
John Day irrigation district, which
comprehends taking in the entire
north end of Morrow county, and
reaches as far south as the line be-
tween townships one and two north,
not coming quite to the base line,
and also takes in portion of Gillian
and Umatilla counties. Mr.. Brown
made a very interesting report and
stated that the work of preparing
and circulating the petitions was
being pushed and it would not be
long, he thought, before the nee
ossary preliminary steps il the On
ganl2atiCn Of the district would be
completed MIR. Brown has so far
put in good deal OF time on this
work in getting maps and descrip-
ti0ns, and it will be necessary for
him to do lot more yet before the
business is ready for presentation to
the county court. He has a lot of
faith, however, that success will
ultimately result and that the John
Day project will be properly rec
ognized by the Government and that
proper aid from that source in put
ting over the big project will be
secured. 1t will take work. however,
and he feels that it is the imperative
duty of every citizen to think, talk
and work John Day Project" and
to boost for it in every possible way,
realizing that big undertaking, that
means so much for Morrow county
and Eastern Oregon is we'll worth
working for, and that this must be
done to get the proper authorities at
Washington interested. Too bad
that more of the Club members were
not present to hear this report.
A special meeting of the Club will
be called by the president this COM
ing week to perfect plans for the
road bonding campaign. and also to
hear a discussion of the various bond
ing measures coming up at the
special election on June 3rd.

SPEAKS At LENA IN "a
VOR OF ROAD BONDS

Having day off from other points
of his itinerary, Jas. S. Stewart
formerly of Fossil, but now res.
ident of Corvallis, came over tc
Heppner from Condor, thinking that
he could give us a boost for the
road bonds. He was billed for Lena
by the local management, as there
was big doings there on Friday even.
ing and good hearing could be
assured him, Whereas. the short
notice given of his coming would
not assure very large crowd in
Hoppner. On this same occasion
also, it had been arranged for a
party of Heppner people to visit
Lena in the interest of the proposed
rural mail route, and two cars OF
men went along with Mr.. Stewart
Mr.. Stewart had opportunity to pre-
sent the various bonding bills to the
A]Ohu pCoRiC, anu llO Ndo Wtli it-
ceived. AT this time he urged the
support of all of the road measures
coming up at the special election, as
we'll as the six per cent bonding
measure for permanent roads, set,
ting out that it would not be
obligatory on any county to vote
this sum under this law if they did
not need it, but that If they did need
this sum of money they should be in
position to get it. Mr.. Stewart left
on Saturday, morning for Marion
county, where he will assist in put
ting over their campaign for a
special road bond issue. The Lena
people gave good support to the
proposed rural route which will put
them in closer touch with Heppner,
and we have been informed that they
also made some very pertinent sug-
gestions that might we'll be acted
upon by the Heppner Commercial
Club, these having reference to the
John Day project and better train ser
vice on the Hepner branch, as well as
building the railroad to Heppner.

DR.. AND MRS. MCMURDO RETURN
HOME FROM TRIP To ROCHESTER

Dr. A. d. McMurdo, wife and
young son returned home on Tues
day. Dr. McMurdo has been absent
for about month, during which
time he was at the Mayo Bros. in
stitution at Rochester, Mimi, attend
ing the clinic. While there, the
doctor was able to gather in much
of benefit to him in his profession.
He got the latest developments being
made in the handling of the flu germ
and also picked up much along other
lines in medicine and surgery that
will prove OF benefit in his practise.
The Mayo institute is certainly a fine
place for physician and surgeon to
go and get hold of a lot of knowledge
in short time
DR.. McMurdo would like to correct
the impression given out at the time
of his departure last month for
Rochester, Mimi, that he was going
there to have his little son treated
There was nothing the matter with
the boy, and was taken along simply
to be company for his mother, while
DR.. McMurdo was attending the
clinic and visiting the Mayo hos
pitfalls. His visit to Rochester was
purely professional and for the pur-
pose of getting hold of what know
ledge he could in the short time he
had to spare from his practice here.
