for the children to be riding on, anJ
consequently was not apprehensivc
that an accident might happen t
one of the little tots. The first tina,
he knew that anything was wrong
was the apparent checking of the
weeder, and stopping to examine
found that the child was missing
In some unaccountable manner she
had been drawn under the machine
and her neck broken. There were
no other marks or scratches on the
body except slight abrasion on one
leg, which might indicate that the
little one had been letting her feet
drag on the ground and was in this
manner pulled under the weeder.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gammell were pros
trated with grief over the sad ac-
cident and it comes to them as a very
great shock, indeed. The little girl
was buried at Lexington on Friday,

AN EXAMPLE OF COOPERATION

AS an object lesson is cooperation
on the part of the State Highway
Commission in road building we call
attention to the work now under way
across the north end of the county
on the Columbia Highway.
Morrow county put in $4,000 for
hardsurfacing last year, and then our
Court also turned over what funds
Districts l and 2, Of the north end,
had, amounting to S22, ,000, making
total Of $4,000. To complete the
Highway through the north end of
the county will require the possible
expenditure on the part of the State
Highway Commission of about $780,
600 more. This is the way the Com
mission is cooperating and shows
what can be expected for other work
in the county when we have worked
out our program and are ready to
cooperate further with them.

st. Patrick's Made Enjoyable Season
In Heppner.

The annual celebration of St.
Patrick's season was made an en-
joyable occasion in Heppner, and
many were the citizens of Celtic ex-
traction gathered in Heppner on Sat
urday, Sunday and Monday to en-
gage in the various exercises. The
program had in the main been ar
ranged under the auspices of the
Hibernians and a special program
was given on Saturday evening at the
High School Auditorium, the main
feature of which was an able address
by Thos. Mannix, of Portland. Mr..
Geo. c. Hennesy, also of Portland
was present. This premier entertain
er remained over until the close of
the festivities on Monday evening and
injected fun and merriment into all
the various meetings. Loca. talent
assisted, also on the program Satur-
day evening. Special services for
the Hibernians were held at the
Catholic church Sunday and Monday
forenoon. Monday afternoon was
given over to the field sports at the
Monahan farm. Rugby football was
played and there was footracing and
general good time, all of the
festivities closing with big banquet,
prepared and served by Mrs. Mike
Curran at the banquet room in |. O.
o. F. hail. thus fittingly closing a
season of real pleasure and profit,
in which the traditions of Ireland
were fully sustained.

COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER
MORROW COUNTY'S ROAD PRO-
GRAM,

County Judge Campbell has for a
time past been is some doubt as to
just what was the proper procedure
in getting the county started OFF On
its road program. The former court
had put $4,000 OF money into the
paving of the road between Heppner
and Lexington and it was expected
that this would be returned in cash,
and that work down the line Nigh,
thus be continued and more grading
done this Spring. The Judge had
worried oyer this item a lot, and
finally he concluded The best thing
to do, after having written the COM
mission and getting no satisfaction,
was to go to Pendleton and take the
matter up with Hon. w. l.. Thomp-
son, acting chairman of the commits
sion, and thresh it out. With this
end in view, he invited Messrs. c. e.
Woodson, w. O. Minor, Vawter Craw-
ford, F. r. Brown and Commissioner
G. A. Bleakman to accompany him to
Pendleton en- Saturday and assist in
putting the claim of Morrow county
before the commissioner. This was
done, and our delegation learned a
number of things to the benefit of
themselves and the county at large
We had been informed on many
points in regard to highway work by
Jas. F. Stewart in the meeting last
week, and were prepared to get down
to business in the short time allotted
by Mr.. Thompson, and it is only nee
essary to state at this time that if
Judge Campbell had any doubts as
to the proper attitude to be assumed
by the County Court in reference to
bonding the county for road funds,
these doubts have been everlastingly
removed and he now sees his way
clear
This paper is fully convinced from
what we have learned during the past
two weeks that but one thing can be
done by our people in this road mat
ter. bond the county and get Just as
large sum of money as this proceed
ing will permit. There is no use to
go up to the State Highway Commits
sion with empty hands we will get
nothing and will thus be shut out
from participating in the splendid
road program that is being prepared.
1t will be our purpose to keep our
readers informed the very best we
can in regard to the progress of the
bonding measure in this county. At
this time there is a splendid senti-
ment in favor Of going the limit. We
have a fine example in the election
recently held by our sister county,
Umatilla, whose people have gone III
for bonds by vote of 8 to l, and
they are now getting lined out for
their share of the state funds, though
not a single bond has yet been dis
posed of. There can be no doubt
q about what Morrow county will do
and the preparing. of petitions and
the calling of special election
should progress just as rapidly as
possible. No argument is required
to convince the people that they need
good roads. 1t should require but
little argument to convince them that
the way to get what we want is tc
go after it and put up the money The
state is going to do its full share,

THE STATE CHAMBER OF COM
MERGE.

The drive for Morrow County's
quota of memberships in the Oregon
State Chamber of Commerce Is on
this week ond should be closed up in
proper time. As was stated last week
Mr., Scott of Lexington took over Lex
ington's quota and guaranteed 1t,
while 27 business men of Heppner
stood for the portion to be raised
here. There should and will be no
question of reaching our entire quota.
After reviewing the plans and pur-
poses of this organization, Mr.. Sidney
B. Vincent, writing in the Oregon Re
tailers Journal of February, 1919,
makes this statement:
"The State Chamber of Commerce
functions very much as any city com
mercial organization, except that the
scope Of its activities are so much
greater, and in many respects per-
haps even more important than city
commercial associations. The oregon
State Chamber Of Commerce was
brought into life for one prime OBJ
ject-the creation Of unity of SEN
timent for all things beneficial to the
State Of Oregon That is the whole
story in a few words.
"The State Chamber can demand
and obtain cooperation in all matters
of vide interest; it can secure proper
legislation upon matters pertaining
to state Development; it can secure
the further extension Of our good
roads system; it can take up irriga-
tion matters and cooperate with the
Irrigation Congress; it can assist in
the development Of Oregon's logged
off and burned-over lands; it can in
fluence railway extensions and assist
in the solution of land settlement
problems; it can build up markets;
it can assist the dairyman, the farm

Morrow county says that a special
election will be held soon for the
purpose of voting bonds for good

Hosed to bond the county to the limit,

Morrow county are much encouraged
over the road bonds vote in Umatilla

APPLICATIONS FOR LAND
SWAMP WIN. HANLEY
Receives Over $50 Letters
Asking Information About
Small Tracts.

William Haniey did not expect to
be put TO such a Showdown" when
he gave an Interview to q Portland
paper the other day respecting his
Intentions to cut UP his holdings and
dispose OF them on easy terms to
actual home seekers; but that's just
what II has come to.
Readers Of The Times-Hcraid will
recall a clipping from the Portland
Journal published I'm last issue out
lining Mr.. Hanleys intention to dis
pose OF land I'm small tracts TO farm
ers on attractive terms. This pub
licity has caused Mr.. Hanley to re-
ceive over 150 letters during the few
days since the publication In Port
land, asking for information as to
details of his plan and what the
terms will be.
Mr.. Hanley says there Is no ques-
tion rs TO the land hungry people.
They want Just such q proposition as
he has offered and are ready to come.
II has opened up a big thing and II
IL taxing his energy right at present
to meet the situation I'm the proper
way. We infer from his converse
tion that Mr.. Hanley has not fully
settled upon the plan he intends to
follow I'm disposing OF these small
tracts. therefore he In not ready to
answer these numerous letters.
They have come In such numbers
that he has not been able TO classify
them and form the replies. but Il Is
his intention TO keep In touch with
the writer's and arrange with them
at the proper time for the purchase
of the land.
This brings to mind the possibiiit-
ias OF this big country and what
might be done under proper exploita-
tion In cooperation with the big
land holdings. II we could but get
together on the irrigation schemes
and place the lands In shape for such
segregation as Mr.. Hanley outlines,
we would soon have much larger
population and "a more prosperous
country. Every feature necessary
to such u result IL here. provided we
store the water and have u available
