LOCAL IRRIGATION PRO-
JECTS BEING MAPPED
One Site on Rhea Creek Said to Rival
OchocO-WillOw Greek Water U.s.
ers Will Convene Here Last of
June, Say County Agent.

Through the efforts o. the Morrow
county farm bureau committee on ir-
rigation, a number of feasible dam
sites for local irrigation projects
have been selected on Willow and
Rhea creeks and their tributaries.
These sites are now being mapped
by County Agent Hunt, who has been
making preliminary surveys during
the past several weeks Mr.. Hunt
says that there is one site on Rhea
creek which rivals that of the Ocho-
co. The Ochoco irrigates $4,000
acres.
The purpose of working out local
irrigation projects is to conserve the
water that now goes down to the Col
umbia, a waste, to the end that more
land may be put under irrigation and
land that is now partially irrigated,
may be thoroughly irrigated.
While steps taken thus far have
been only preliminary to the big
move which is to be taken soon, a
water users convention will be held
in Heppner the last of June, at which
time the subject will be given thor
ough discussion, questions of cost
taken up, and methods for financing
evolved.

Motors and Tires.

The value of the motor truck for
efficient service has been demonstrate
ed in hundreds of instances during
the recent railroad strikes. Thous-
ands of tons of foodstuffs and other
commodities have been carried in and
out of our large cities by motor We
hicles and satisfactory delivery made
in every instance, thus furnishing ad-
ditional proof of the increasing value
of motor transportation.
Greater possibilities for the devel
upment of the ship by Truck
movement are becoming apparent
every day, as the utility of the truck
is no longer limited to suburban
freight movements. This was recent.
ly illustrated by the ARRIVAL of 8
truck in San Francisco on a 1906
mile journey and every mile of the
distance it was carrying paying
load, and again when motor trucks
were put in service hauling fish from
Monterey Harbor to San Francisco
and other California markets, thus
preventing serious loss to the Mon
terey fishermen, with which they
we're threatened on account Of the in
ability of the railroads to handle the
business with necessary dispatch, o~
ing to the tie-up caused by the
switchmen's strike.
The Importance Of the tire indus
try is further illustrated by the re
markable growth of the city of Akron
Ohio, whose population has increased
from 69,067 in 1910 to 20S,435 ii
1920, a gain of POI $40 per cent
Akron's growth can be attributed on
ly TO her industrial development, an(
principally to the tremendous expan
sion of motor traffic and the city''
chief product-tires-which has be
come the basis of one Of the worlds
greatest industries-E, F. Hutton &
Co., San Francisco

Indictments Returned By
Grand Jury-Trials Later

After remaining in session for sew
eral days, the Morrow county grand
Jury brought in several indictments
last Friday and were relieved from
further duty. With but one exeep-
tion, all the cases will go over until
the November term of court for
trial. Following are the indictments.
W. H. Hayes, who had been brot
to Heppner few weeks ago and for
mally charged with rape, indicted by
grand jury and pleaded guilty. Sen-
fenced from one to five years. Hayes
is an old man. The crime involved
an adopted daughter.
Jess Coats entered plea Of not
guilty to the charge of rape and was
blaced under $1,000 bail.
Another statutory crime involving
Ralph Hymer, Elmer Cochran and
John Blake of lone brought forth in
dictments in all three instances. All
entered a plea of not guilty and Hy-
mer's bail was placed at $2500 while
Blake and Cochran were released un-

STAGE IS ALL SET FOR
PRIMARY ELECTION
Strenuous Campaign Made for Pass
age of Educational and Road Bond
Measures-Wood and johnson
viii Lead.

The stage is all set for the primary
election in Oregon tomorrow. Siren
uous campaigns have been carried on
all over the state for the success of
the educational measures and the
four per cent road bond bill. Every
city, town and hamlet has had brot
home to them the pressing need for
additional money with which to carry
on the work Of education in this
state. The future of education,
which means the future of every boy
and girl of Oregon, is in the hands
of the people, and with the ampaign
of enlightenment which has been car
ried on, it is safe to say that the
higher educational tax measure, the
soldiers aid measure and the elemen-
tary school measure will all three re-
ceive the hearty endorsement of the
voters of Oregon.
In the preferential vote for presi-
dent the contest appears to have mar
rowed down to Wood and johnson in
the republican party. Democratical-
ly speaking, the field is conceded to
McAdoo. While Governor Lowden has
many warm admirers and support
ers throughout the state, his strength
is considered not strong enough to
bring him through the local primar-
les winner Therefore 1t is con-
tended that a vote for Lowden, would
in effect, be vote for johnson. For
that reason, many republicans, who
do not want to risk the chance Of
their vote going to Hiram, are going
to make themselves doubly sure by
voting for Leonard Wood.
Morrow county people have an op-
portunity to put Morrow county
boy on the public service commission
by voting for Rhea Luper. Mr.. Lu-
per's qualifications are too well
known for us to take up the space OF
enumerating them. His chances of
winning, up to the time of the cleo
tion are considered good

Plant Pathology; Scab causes
enormous losses every year in Ore
gon. Loss in 1915 was more than
one million dollars. 1t is the most
serious disease of the apple and pear

Farm Management: The farmer
who keeps accounts knows how to
fill out his income tax report. Farm
accounts show profits in each partic-
ular field of production, as we'll as
the losses, If there be any.
The federal income tax law has
as now in effect requires every single
person with a net income of $1,000
or over and every married person
with a net income of $4,000 or over
to render an annual statement The
farm record books will prove of great
help in prepaing these statements.
Soils: Legumes, crop rotations
and livestock, are used on the sta
tion farm as important measures in
keeping the soil in right condition
and fertility to store and hold the
SOS tons of water used in making a
ton of dry fodder, or other useful

bond HOUSE REFUSES
| TO STAND BY CONTRACT
Morris Brothers Get Cold Feet When
Market Drops and viii Not Take
City Of Heppner $4,000 Refund
ing Bonds-City May Sue.

It's a plain case of cold feet with
Morris Brothers, Portland bond firm,
when they try to back down on a con-
tract which they have with the city
Of Heppner for the purchase of $l5,-
600 refunding bonds. The Portland
bond firm wanted these re-funding
bonds, oh ever so bad until the mar
ket went a little bad, then they de-
cided it was a poor contract and that
the bonds could not be taken BY them
until said contract was somewhat
altered, making the transaction a lit
tie more favorable to the buyers.
Mr.. Hattrem, representing the
bond company, was in the city last
week and informed city officials that
the bonds, which originally were call
ed to bring u per cent, maturing in
twenty years, should be changed to
bring per cent and maturing in ten
years, or otherwise his company
could not accept the Donds. he urs-
ed the city council to change a city
ordinance governing the sale of these
bonds, in order that Morris Brothers
might make a few more dollars in
the Transaction. But the city has
firmly decided to handle its own bus
iness and will not take any dictation
from the bond house. The bonds
have been sold to Morris Brothers
upon their own solicitation, and while
no definite action has been taken by
the city fathers, in the face Of the
bond house refusing to take the
bonds, it is not unlikely that the city
may bring suit against the brokers,
in an effort to make them stand by
their contract.

Binder Twine Plentiful, Cheaper.

The wheat grower need have no
apprehension as to the supply of
binder twine-this season. Reports
coming to the Bureau of Plant Indus
try, of the United States Department
of Agriculture, indicate that there
will be a plentiful supply of this COM
modify available for the American
farmer. Not only will it be plentiful,
but it is likely to be cheaper this year
than for some years past.
Yucatan-the chief and cheapest
source of heneQuen, from which the
twine is made-producei large crop
this year; which, coupled with the
termination of control of prices by
the Commission Reguladora, was re-
sponsible for a drop in the price of
fiber from Is to 10 cents a pound in
March. The price is now reported to
be cents a pound. This reduction
should be reflected in the price Of
twine this season.
Thus far the recent revolution in
Mexico has not affected the heneQuin
industry of Yucatan and Campeche,
the two important fibre growing
States of that country. 1t is too late
now for any disruption of this indus
try to affect seriously this years DIP
plies of Irvine for this years harvest
as practically all the fiber necessary
for the present needs have already
been imported to the United States
Although there is no danger for
this years tyine supply, officials of
the Department of Agriculture are
somewhat apprehensive over the eff
feet that the new prices for fiber pre-
vailing now will have upon the pro-
duction of henequin during the next
few years. Low prices, according to
reports to the Department, are lead
ing the growers in Yucatan to reduce
their planting, with the result that
a real shortage of the fiber five or
six years hence is very likely pos
sibility.
