Our news columns carry this week
the announcement that the State
Highway Commission will now pro-
coed to the completion of the Ore
con-WaShiugton highway through
Morrow county as far as Little But
ter creek. This will still leave a gap
between that point and the Umatilla
county line, which includes getting
over Franklin hill. Just what is to
be done here will be a matter of flu
ture development, but We are pretty
well assured that the entire road
through Morrow county will be built
according 10 original estimates and
further, that the gap that exists in
Gillian county will be closed also,
ana thus connect the road up with the
Columbia river highway at Heppner
Junction. This is good news to our
people, and is evidence of the fact
that the commission is adhering to
the policy Of completing the main
highways as they have been adopted
and put on the map.
The taking over of the grading
from a point beyond Lexington tc
connect with the macadam road JUS
west Of Heppner by the commission
has now eliminated any controversy
that might have arisen over the sug.
geStion that the market road funds be
applied there. This is fully settled
now and We presume there will BE-
no further agitation in this regard
1t was a question as to whether thest
funds could be thus applied, ant
there was no intention to so place
them until the matter was full,
threShed out and it was found to b.
acceptable to all parties interested
We presume that the suggested ust
of the market road money on til,
Willow creek highway was more II
get at some way of reaching til,
desired end-that of completing
job that was so near done, and plac
my the county in a position to receiv,
the additional money that would b
spent by the state in s~urfacing an
maintaining the highway. As til
highway commission has now take
the matter over and will let the nee
eSSary contracts and finance tn
same, we can dismiss the burden an
turn attention 10 other matters Q
road construction.
The action of the commission in re
gard to the Oregon-W ashington higf
way was no doubt the result Of tn
visit of Mr.. Booth and Mr.. Barra
to this section recently. when the
went overt he entire route in Moro
county and Mr.. Booth was readi'
convinced Of the necessity Of ii
commission taking over the work ar
accepted the views of Mr.. Barratt
regard thereto. The action they ha,
taken is very gratifying to the pc
pie Of this county.

Take Time to Heal A Deadly
Wound.

Impotence can almost become a
sin. 1t is anyway a world vice to-
day. In every city newspaper and
from every other person you see
come grouches because of this, that
or the other uncomfortable fact caus-
ed by the war continues with us.
The farmer is blamed because he
feels that he is still entitled TO war
prices. The workingman is roasted
because he sticks like a leech to his
abnormally high wage. Russia is put
under the ban because she is still
crazy as a loon from the heat of war.
The big newspaper editors spend
coolies Of money in cables to show
that peace is not yet here. The f.
nancier walls because peace did not
instantly bring back the normal cor
ditions Of 1914. Pretty nearly all of
US are entirely out of patience with
the antics, worldwide of the ignorant
reds and extreme radicals every
where.
If the average intelligent mar
would stop to think a few minutes
he'd realize that the supposedly un-
natural conditions which are world
wide today are only natural, after
all. When a great storm has deluged
a field, you don't 60 out and plough
the next minute. You are lucky If
you al take the old pillow through il
two or three days later; it is the ex-
pected, and you take II as only natur-
al. If a FIRE destroys a factory, the
hands TO not 60 TO work at their
machines the next day as if nothing
had happened nobody expects them
to. The natural thing is to rebuild
the factory first. If a great flood
washes out a mile Of railroad track
nobody expects the trains to be run
ming smoothly over the spot in a few
hours. It takes time to make repairs
There has been a great human
storm; a terrible human fire; a cata'
clysrnic human washout. The signing
Of apeace paper did not make actua
peace. If full peace comes in Il
years after such a fearful conflict the
world will be lucky. If farmers ant
wokingmen and industry and com
meree and finances settle down meas

Catch Large Sturgeon

An unusual large number of stur-
geon are being caught in the Kootenai
river this spring and local fishermen
state that the sturgeon this season are
the best that have ever been caught.
The largest sturgeon caught this
season was sold to the City Meat Mar

Frank Nichols. This fish weighed
over 200 pounds. The largest sturgeon
ever caught in the Kootenai river was
captured in July, 1918, and weighed
$50 pounds.
A great many of the sturgeon be-
ing caught this season are sold in the
local market. The City Meat Market
has been shipping sturgeon to Spo-
kane and to Montana points for sew
eral weeks. The wholesale price is
1919 cents. Sturgeon in Spokane re-
tails for 80 cents a pound.

the Berengaria sluggish and she nestled

Tells Dudley Field Malone
Divorces Are Not Bought.

day to the interview given In Chicago by

Walska, with the following:
"It seems Incredible that any lawyer
could have made such a proposal" (Mr.
Malone said 1t will cost Mr.. Cochran
100000 TO get a divorce.) Divorces in
this country are not bought and sold on
the auction block. They are granted by
the courts and only for cause. There is
no demand for the peculiar character of
commodity in which Mr.. Malone desires
TO trade. Her bid to rid Mr. Cochran Of
his client is accordingly respectfully de-
clined.
when my client gets good and ready
he will get rid of the lady in the way
the law provides. With all bidders and
no takers, it looks just now like rather
one sided auction. doesn't it? Nothing
doing. MIR. Malone. Your client missed
her chance. She cannot get both money
and publicity. She has made her choice
1T is gratifying, by the way, to learn
from Mr.. Malone that Nine. Walslea has
so much money she doesn't know what
to do with 1t, even after paying Mr. Ma
lone for his arduous legal and publicity
work. What then can she possibly want
with that bagatelle OF 100000 from Mr..
Cochran as a condition of giving him his
freedom. which will come In due time
