steps have recently been taken by the
He e.aingway High School and the two
schoSln. Old Johnsonville and Muddy
Creek consolidated with it in the cen
tralized high school, at this place.
Hemingway was the first centralized
high school in the State. 1t was put
on foot year ago and laid the found
,ation of success. This year the for
ward movement and success has been
notable.

in pupils, and a corresponding in
crease in the teaching force made it
necessary to raise more meney. To do
this series of community meetings
were held All were successful, nota-
bly, Muddy Greek and Hemingway.

nearly S2,500, Hemingway leading
over $1,000 in cash raised.
The school has already purchased
a $1,50Q- two-ton truck in which to
transport the pupils to school who
live too far to walk. AS it stands to-
day, three country schools under one
management has sixteen teachers and
an enrolment OF over $50 pupils, be-
ing by far the largest school in the
county. the high school has about
sixty pupils, with four teachers.
There is immediate need for more
teachers, at least four, who will be
provided as soon as they can be
found. There is on foot movement
for a new grammar school building
in the country, with kitchen, canning
department, auditorium for commu-
nifty work, also new rooms at Hem
ingway, with 81 teachers house and
dormitory for boarding pupils. 1t is
confidently expected that the central
high school next year will have at
least 100 high school pupils and the
consolidated schools from twenty to
: twenty-five teachers and an enroll
ment reaching fully 600 pupils.
At the Williamsburg County Fair,
last week, Hemingway school carried
off first prize for the best exhibit in
the parade, and second for the best

$4,000 Involved In Land
Transaction Near Morgan

One of the most important realty
deals of the season was transacted
this week when H. A. Edmonds of
Morgan, Oregon, purchased the c. H.
Veghte ranch near Morgan for a con-
sideration of approximately $4,000.
The ranch comprises 1900 acres of
good wheat land. Mr.. Edmonds for
merly farmed in the Walla Walla
country, coming to Morrow county a
few years ago. The success of Mr..
and Mrs. Elmonds and their family
of 4 boys and girl is one of the
many examples of the opportunitieS
offered for people who do good farm
ing in our locality. When Mr.. Ed
monds' oldest son Forest entered the
service, his II year old sister, Pearl,
put on overalls and drove an eight
horse team on all the farm work un-
til Forest returned a short time ago
Mr.. Edmonds sold a $4,000 wheat
rcop this year, and with the Winslow
ranch which he now farms and the
ranch recently purchased he will
farm over 1000 acres and will have
1000 acres in wheat the coming year.
Mr.. gdmonds was represented by the
agency of Brown & McMenamin in
the purchase of this ranch.

MORE MOISTURE rs
NEEDED ON RANGES

The recent rains and snow in the
mountains have not provided enough
moisture to do the range much good.
according TO Forest Supervisor W. w.
Cryder, who is back from a field trip
into the forest. The green gass is
coming up some, but not geat deal,
and there will have to be great deal
more precipitation to make the win
ter range good. However, range
conditions are about the same as they
were last year at this time, although
the cattle are coming down a little
earlier than usual, perhaps. and most
of the sheep have been or are being
driven out.
A report reached Mr.. Cryder while
he was out on this trip TO the effect
that there was II inches of snow on
Lookout mountain. II this is true,
and the report came through reliable
channels, it means that the mountain
will be snow-covered for the remain
der of the winter, as 1t is in high al
titude. a
While on the trip Mr.. Cryder at
tended a meeting Of the Blue Noun
tain Cattle and Horse Raisers' asso-
citation, which was held at Albee yes
terday, and which had a large at

PROJECT DIRECTORS
PLAN FOR ACTION
Legal Tangle VIII Be Unraveled and
Engineer VIII Make Preliminary
Surveys on John Day River.
Plans Are Feasible.

''It may be necessary to build the
highest dam In the world and 1t may
be found necessary to drive the long
est tunnel on record" said Z. J. Davis
OF the United States Reclamation Ser
vice, but withsl, the project is most
feasible"
Mr.. Davis met with the directors
of the John Day Irrigation District
in this city Tuesday morning when
we're present chairman of the board,
C. c. Clark of Arlington. NJ. D. Clark,
director, F. A. McMenamin, attor-
ney. and F. R. Brown, secretary. The
third director, John Kilkenny, was
unable to attend.
Inasmuch as the validity Of the
warrants issued by the district have
been questioned, owing to some ir-
regularity in the process OF organiza-
tion, the directors have decided to en-
ter into a friendly suit in the court
and straighten out the legal phases
now in question. In the meantime,
Attorney McMenamin has been in
structed to prepare available data
and present it to Geo. T. Cochrane Of
Of the state water board in La
Grande, and it is believed tina: Mr..
Cochrane's opinion in lie matter will
have considerable weight with the
court.
1t is the desire of the board of di-
rectors to have Mr.. Davis make pre-
liminary surveys on the John Day
river before winter sets in. Surveys
for the project have been made be-
fore, but according to Mr.. Davis they
are now valuable only from the stand
point of the data which they contain,
as he figures it the project must be
attacked from a different angle en-
tirely.

KEEN INTEREST SHOWN
IN ROOSEVELT MEMORIAL

County Chairman McMenamin re-
ports that the people of Morrow coun-
ty are taking keen interest in the
National movement to raise funds in
order to construct suitable memor-
ial to the late Theodore Roosevelt.
A number of our citizens have al
ready signifed their intentions to
help.
1t must be kept in mind, however,
that this campaign for funds depends
entirely upon free-will offerings, be-
cause several millionaires offered to
finance all expense of erecting a mon
ument, but this was refused in order
to give every citizen in our country
an opportunity to subscribe,
Every one who contributes to this
fund, no matter how small the dona-
ton, will receive a certificate ack-
nowledging receipt of his donation.
Before October Goth, each school dis
trict in Morrow county will be asked
and offered the opportunity to have
its subscription mailed in as early as
possible. A blank coupon card is
published in this paper this week,
which may be clipped out and mailed
to the Morrow County chairman with
your subscription.
