JOHN DAY DIRECTORS
NET HERE TUESDAY
Engineer Will BE Employed just as
Soon as Finances Are Available
John Day Picnic Will Be Held In
May.

The directors of the John Day IT.
rigation district held a profitable
meeting in this city on Tuesday with
President c. c. Clark, Eddie Reit-
mann, M. D. Clark, directors; and sec
retary F. R. Brown all present
The directors plan to engage the
services Of competent engineer Just
as soon as the finances of the district
are put in a more liquid form. AT
the present time the district is is
suing warrants but there will be no
money available until next year when
tax money will be provided in the
budget. In the meantime it is a pro-
position of the district finding some
one who is in position to cash the
warrants. Until this phase of the
situation is solved, all plans of the
district are held in allegiance.
Portland business men, who have
been enthusiastic over the project
from the beginning have again as
sured the directors of their desire to
cooperate and the directors feel
greatly encouraged. President Clark
recently met with Congressman Sin
mott in Portland and together they
went over the plans of the project.
Mr.. Sinnott advised that the directors
act as rapidly as possible in order

Colonel Boon was up to Lexington
Wednesday from his turkey farm
down the creek. The colonel is rails
ing his usual number of turkeys this
season and the new birds are now
coming forth 70 bsttie with the reali-
ties of life and prepare themselves
for the Thanksgiving and Christmas
seasons. Mr.. Boon suffered the loss
of his turkey crop last year, owing
to the fact that the commission man
to whom he made his consignments
down Portland way failing to make
good and going into bankruptcy. He
is not discouraged by this, however,
and will profit by the experience.
Eldrid Corson, son of BILLY" Cor
son, head clerk with Jos. Burgoyne,
spent the Easter vacation visiting
with his folks in Morrow county. He
is a student at Washington U, Seat
tie and returned to his studies on
Sunday last.
Two cars of last seasons wheat
were loaded out from the Burgoyne
warehouse the first of the week. But
little grain remains in the Lexington
warehouses for shipment.
The Leach G Scott warehouse is
distributing lot of fine seed barley
among the farmers of their section,
which would indicate that a portion
of the re-seeding at least will be to
barley.

plation.

The city dads of Lexington have
determined on a policy that they be-
lieve will in the future prevent dam
age to their streets and other prop
erty Of the town when the freshets
come down Willow creek and Black
horse. They are preparing to do
some diking on the upper edge of
the city that will confine the water
in Willow creek to its proper chan
mel, and in like manner similar work
| will be done at the mouth of the
| Blackhorse canyon, where it enters
the city limits. They expect this
work to be sufficient to overcome the
difficulties of the past. Work on the
Improvements begun on the streets
last season is to be continued, and
the street running to the bridge that
crosses Willow creek in the south
east part of town is to be filled in
and raised to the level of the bridge.
This improvement will be valuable,
and will prvent that street and the
one intersecting below from over
flowing when high water time comes,
and will also enable the property
| owners to fix up their lawns and
beautify their premises without the
fear that little later all their work
will be covered up with mud and
sediment
Z. Nordyke, who recently disposed
Of the extensive Penland holdings in
which he was interested, to Fred Lu-
cas-, is figuring on putting a bunch
Of the money thus acquired back into
property in Lexington. He is now
completing his plans for the erection
of large garage on his lot across
the street from the Broadley black
smith shop. The building will be en-
tirely of concrete construction and
large enough to accommodate the
needs Of that section for many years
to come. Mr.. Nordyke is also figur-
ing on the erection of a large resi-
denCe on his lot on the hill, which,
he states would be so fitted up that
it would furnish Accommodations for
number of roomers who would de-
sire to do light housekeeping-some-
what on the apartment house order.
Mr. Nordyke should certainly have
the encouragement of his neighbors
at Lexington in these proposed i'm
proyements.
The members of the Christian
church have been making some very
necessary and handy improvements
to their parsonage property. The
interior arrangement has been chan
ged, new paper applied, a garage and
woodShed constructed and a sleeping
porch added to the residence. New
paint will now be applied to the en-
tire structure and in all about $1,000
spent in improvements. The church
building is to be tackled next, and
these people hope that by fall con-
templated improvement to this build
ing will have been completed. The
building is to be considerably en-
'larged and many needed repairs are

And the public, friendly now cross;
Away from the chickering's and small things,
To prosper and be my boss.

Wife, let's sell and go back to the city,
Said the farmer who dropped in his chair;
Let's go back andl i've like folks ought to;
Rest once and respect gray hair
I'm sick of these long hours of labor.
The dust and the mud and the snow,
The hail and the drouths and the lean years
We're prey to all winds that blow
Let's clean up, retire and have comfort;
Mix with friends, go to church the show;
To smile and to work with our fellows
Come cheer up Old Partner, let's GO"
The real estate to the rescued
The business man gets what he asks
The farmer comes back to the city,
Away from his back breaking tasks
The life of each is made happy
smile has dethroned the dark frown
One strong in the country,
And fat back in town.
They both thank this talkatve booster
The knockers hate like the flu;
Who puts the brooms where they re needed
The mho makes dreams come true
