WHAT OTHERS SAY
THE so.CALIED CUTOFF

The appeal of Eastern oregon citi-
zens before a committee Of the Port
land chamber of commerce for that
body not to throw its further jnflu-
ence in behalf of the so-called Wallula
cutoff. challenges public attention. 1t
would be folly for the state highway
commission to spend approximately
S40O,O00 of highway money on road
that would practically parallel high
way already completed and paved,
The so-called cutoff would take tour
lists through a countryside wholly un-
inviting and give to them unfavorable
Impressions of the state, while paw
ed parallel highway but few miles
away would carry them through one
of the greatest producing belts in Am
erica. Since the proposed cutoff is
to be principally for the benefit OF
tourists. is it business to route them
through a desert or through a para
disc?
The claim that the alleged cut of
would be more direct route to Yaki-
ma is absurd To reach it, Yakima
would have to journey III miles east
TO Pasco and then cover approximate
Ily the same distance westward tc
reach Portland.

ROBERT MtKIN IN
pOAfIgEII, mol


The producing genius Of Benjamin
b. Hampton, maker Of great photo
plays, is many-sided 1t is seen in his
photodramatization Of the novels he
films and in the musical scores written
for them; in the art backgrounds
painted to interpret the subtle mean
ings Of written titles and in the tech
nical detail of his big productions. But
next to the work of dramatizing, IT it
most apparent and most to be appre-
ciated in his selection Of the players
to portray the characters Of his film
stories.
Mr.. Hampton made a particular
find" in Robert McKim, the polished,
mastery and subtitle histronic artist
who has appeared in many Of his pro-
ductions. In "rhe Mysterious Rider"
adapted from Zane Grey's novel, a
sweeping tale Of love, thrills and ad-
venture with an ample spicing Of de-
licious humor, air McKim has pow
erful, sympathetic role.
Movie customs. tradition and wor-
ship Of the established once held Mr..
McKim in strictly VILLAIN" roles, and
he achieved great note for the exccll-
ence Of his villauy. But Mr.. Hamp-
ton saw that McKim was q great VII
lain not because he was better fitted
TO be "a villain than anything else, but
because he was great actor. There
were even Greater possibilities for him
in other roles.
The first step from his speciality was
made in his tremendous central role,

should be spent for the benefit and
profit of the people of Oregon who
supply it for the roads. There is very
little Oregon population that would be
served by the purported cutoff be
cause the territory is little settled,
while there are hundreds of unimproV-
ed roads all over the state where there
are big populations that want roads
over which they can haul produce to
market. Since there is already scar
city of highway money and since
there will be other calls for money to
build roads where they are badly
needed. the confidence of the public in
expenditures of such money should
not be impaired by 100000 appro-
priation on a road that few Oregon
people would use.
The money would be far better
spent if applied on the road from
Pendleton to La Grande or on other
unbuilt stretches in Eastern Oregon.

A KILLER BY NATURE

No one can see 'The Killer" the

The story-Stewart Edward Whites

most fascinating and sinister charac-
ter that ever figured in fiction Henry
Hooper was killer by nature. To
him. destroying life was as permiss-
able an act as playing the piano, or
reading his favorite books. In little
book he listed the people he had
marked for destruction, then crossed
them off, one by one, when his wicked
plans had been consummated.
Because Ruth Emory and her little
brother were part owners of his ranch
they were trapped in his net, They
were prisoners in his beautiful home
and watched and spied upon every
moment by the killer or his servants.
Ha allowed no living thing on his
ranch that wasn't his, body and soul,
and there was no one the distraught
girl could turn to for help. Her posi-

ace to I'D whole people.
One Of the concluding paragraphs
Of the first article is significant. Here
it what it says: "The menace in the
situation is obvious. The country may
view with tolerance the doubtful gene
sis of the American Farm Bureau
Federation. 1t may show only a pas:
sive interest in this class grouping OF
large part of the population. 1t
may not, in view Of the Unfair burden
resting upon the farmer, object to
the Federation's growing political
power. But if the Federation's Com
mittee of Seventeen and its National
Sales Agency attempt to carry out
any plan to control through a so-called
holding company the grain of the ma:
ton, the issue must be mat in behalf
of all the people and not class"
1t is, therefore, apparent from this
attack made upon the Farm Bureau
that large magazines Of the country
who represent the business, view in
America are going to leave nothing
unturned to stay the power of the
farmers of the nation to pool their
produce at price that will guarantee
to them a living wage on the soil.
We are interested to know who will
be next in the TRADE against the farm
ers movement.

CELEBRATE 5oTH

Mr.. Hans Oppegard. of Darcy, N. D.,
was caller at the Times-Record Of
fee this morning. Mr.. OppegaN tells
us that on March seventeenth was his
fiftieth anniversary Of his marriage
and to celebrate that event he and his
good wife were the victims" Of a
very pleasing surprise party pulled off
by their neighbors and friends who
wanted to show them an appreciation
Of neighborly kindness by helping
them celebrate the important event in
their lives, about fifty of them storm
ing the Oppegard residence on this
particular evening. After the first
surprise and greetings had been got
ten over the time was spent in 9 So
cial way. Rev. Svennungsen acted as
POSTMASTER and in very happy
mood called upon several of the
friends present for little talk, all of
whom congratulated the worthy cou-
pie on this event and wished them
MANY wears of future happiness and
good luck.
Mr.. and Mrs. OpPegard are pioneer
settlers of Barnes county coming here
in 1879, and have been honored citi-
zens of this county during all the
years they have lived here and are
very highly respected by aaarge Cir
Gle of personal friends all over Barnes
county. For seven years Mr.. Opper-
gard served faithfully and well as a
county commissioner of this county
and for two terms was sheriff Of. the
county. During the evening Mrs.
Oppegard was presented with. a beau
tiful cameo brooch and although she
was so full of gratitude for the splen-
did remembrance she managed to get
on her feet and thank the donors most
gratefully for the gift. The men folks
were not going to let it be one
sideds affair when it came down to
gifts. so they presented Mr.. Oppe-'
gard with q very handsome gold
headed cane, and he also in his happy
way expressed his delight and thanks
for the kind, remembrance. a very
satisfying luncheon was served and
the entire evening was one OF good
cheer and sociability. Upon the de-
parture of the guests Mr.. and MIS-.
Oppegard were wished many happy
returns of. their, anniversary and the
hope expressed that 72theys would all
be present to help them'celebrate their
seventy-fifth anniversary. The.
':young" couple are very much re-
spected by their friends and neigh
bors and this expression Of good will
only demonstrates that true friends
are the biggest asset that any man
and woman can attain in this life.
