VIOLA NEWsLETs

Another tree which has been stand
ing on our main street for as many
years as most % us can remember
was cut down last week because it was
in the way. It was the pretty tree
standing in front of the drug store
which had been so carefully trimmed
and noIlrished by C. F. Mathews all
these years. A concrete pavement
was to be put in on this street and it
would not hardly do to run the cement
around the tree so it was cut down.
It makes big change in the appear
ance of the street and it will be some
time before we are used to it. I

"A Lancaster girl recently discov-
cred a package Of love letters that had
been written TO her mother by her
father before they we're married. The
daughter realized she could have some
sport ard read them to her mother,
substituting her own name for that
Of her mother and a nice young man
for that Of her father. The mother
shifted her feet, terribly disguised and
jumped up and down IN her chair
forbade her daughter having anything
to do with a young man who would
write such sickening, nonsensieal stuff

letter TO the mother to read, the house

Farm Bureau Votes Market
Road Money for Farmers

tBy L A. Hunt County Agent.)
The referendum decided upon by the
joint committee Of the Farm Bureau
and Commercial Club at its last beet.
ing asked to ascertain the will Of the
farmers regarding the use Of market
road funds ia this county on the Will
low creek highway resulted In a very
decided defeat Of the use Of this money
for this purpose. The farmers feel that
market road money should be placed
on market roads. We are not positive
that this issue was clearly understood
By all the farmers but believe that this
referendum expressed the sentiments OF
the majority Of the people in the coun-
". There was a considerable complaint
from various places that they did not
receive the ballots sent We must say
that this must have been through some
error Of distribution as copy was
mailed to every farmer in the county.
The Irrigon people held their meeting
and took a strong vote In favor of the
use Of the money strictly on farmers
roads. The Farm Bureau officials are
very much gratifed at the result of the
referendum and feel that they will sub
NIT other referendums to the farmers
as the occasion demands The final
vote stood at the ratio Of three to two
against the use Of the market road
money on the Willow creek highway

O.-N. HIGHWAY CAP
To Be COMPLETED
BY Action Taken at the Meeting of
Highway Commissioners In Portland
Last Week Gaps VIII he Closed aud
surfaeing Proceed.

News Of a highly gratifying nature
to the people Of this section was con
yeyed in telegram received early Fri
day morning from Commissioner Bar
ratt stating that the Oregon Wash
lngton highway across Morrow county
would be completed, and that further
bids would be called for to close up
the gap existing between Heppner and
Lexington, this to be followed by let
ting Of contracts for the surfacing
from the Beymer place by units on
through Little Butter creek, just as
rapidly as possible
Mr.. Barratt returned home on sun
day and in speaking Of the matter
stated that 1t was the intention Of the
commission at first to call for bids on
the grading Of the Lexington gap to
be opened at the meeting Of the COM
missioners on April 22nd, but owing
to the fact that the engineer would
be unable to get in his full estimates
IN tire To have the Unit properly ad-
vertsed, ii will not come up until the
regular May meeting At that time
IT is expected the contract will be le.
and the work of grading will be imme
diately proceeded with.
AS stated above, the present program
carries the work only as far as Little
Butter creek, which takes in the Hin
ton creek section and Jones Hill This
will leave several miles yet to be dis
posed Of, and it is presumed that as
soon as the route around Franklin hill
is definitely located, the commission
will then proceed with the letting Of
contracts that will Join up with the
Umatilla county section. This will then
leave a short section in Gillian county
to be disposed Of in order to connect
with the Columbia river highway at
Heppner Junction.
We understand that Commissioner
Booth did not hesitate long in making
his decision on this matter after he
had travelled over the route of the high
way on through to the Umatilla county
line. He was fully impressed with the
importance of getting the Oregon
Washington highway completed thru
Morrow county and was ready to help
this county in putting over the Job
that has proceeded to a point where
some financial aid was absolutely nee
essary. The commission seemed to rec
ognize, too, that through the fault and
acknowledgement Of their own engfn-
eers, the county's money did not go as
far as it should have. hence their de-
sire to help out in this manner at this
critical time. Their action is source
Of great qualification to our people.

some considerable experience as touch

his time with number Of suggestions
for improving and making more attrac-
tive the home and community life OF
the rural districts Mr. Minor followed
with other good suggestions, gathered
from his ripe experience, and he strong
ly advocated the taking in Of the wife
in full partnership on the farm; give
her a chance to have some Of the
things about the premises that a wo-
man likes and help her in getting

Mr., Minor had to say and spoke earn

too much of the spirit OF merely exist

Following these speakers, and pre-

Hand BADLY Hurt.

George Thomson is carrying about a
badly hurt hand this week. Just be-
cause he thought he was still young he
is suffering; one party, who claimed to
know, says that George was trying to
"show Off hefore the ladies, but what
ever thoughts he might have entertain
ed at the time does not salve his hurts
George had received information that
his cabin on Willow creek, Just a short
distance below the Slocum sawmill, and
where his family spends their summer
vacation, had been broken into; so he
travelled up that way Sunday afternoon
to make an investigation. Arriving
opposite the cabin he found 1t necessary
to get across Willow creek; so he pick
ed up a pole lying in the edge Of the
stream that seemed just the proper size
and proceeded to vault the creek The
pole was slick from lying in the water
and when the weight of Mr.. Thomson
bore down on it his left hand slipped
over a broken nail or two, with the re-
suit that the member was badly torn
and lacerated in a zig gag fashion.
Luckily there was bottle of peroxide
in the cabin and Mr. Thomson used this
literally on the wound and 1t was thop
oughly cleansed, While at present he Is
caused considerable pain, he does not
anticipate any serious results He found
the cabin had not been disturbed.

T|SE OREGON IN EAST

Portland, ore9 April Especial. y
Definite steps toward carrying out the
land settlement plan announced BY the
Oregon State Chamber Of Commerce
whereby prospective immigrants from
the middle western states would be
grouped together and brought to Ore
gon in a body, were taken at a meet
ing of the executive committee yes-
terday through the appointment of
William "Bill' Hanley, Of Burns a d.
rector of the State Chamber, and J. r.
Heuring, formerly with the Eastern
Oregon Land company. to represent
Oregon and the State Chamber in the

men will leave for Omaha within the
next ten days, 1t was announced.
"Bill" Hanley is probably one Of the
best known men in the State of Oregon
in agricultural and stock raising cir.
cles- Coming to Oregon in the pioneer
days when the state, ssas practically an
untouched wilderness, he has grown
up with the West" and has become a
powerful figure in all movements per-
tanning to the development of the state
AS director of the State Chamber and
through his belief in the future of Ore
gon, he has become enthusiastic over
the plans for bringing settlers to the
state, and offered his services without
remuneration for the campaign in the
Middle West this summer.
"rm going to tell those people in the
middle west what we've got in Oregon"
said Bill Hanley, we don't have to
eXaggerate or tell any big stories but
just tell them the truth about the state.
What Oregon needs is more farmers to
settle up the state and develop our idle
land, and that is the kind of men we're
going to bring here from the middle
west"
J, r. Heuring, who will do the field
work in the middle west this summer,
has been active in colonization work in
the Northwest for number Of years.
He is familiar with the agricultural
possibilities and resources of every sec
tion Of the state, and as a Representa-
tive of the Eastern Oregon Land COM
pany and the Warm Springs Project,
has personally located more than 25O
families in Oregon during the past FIVE
years.
Great interest in the plan for land
settlement as announced by the State
Chamber has been manifested, not only
in oregon, but as far east as Owasso,
Oklahoma, and Duluth. Minnesota. AL
most every mail brings in inquiries as
to when the party will leave the mid
die west for Oregon. according to Sec
retary Quayle. A number of these
have declared themselves ready to join
the party when it starts for the west,
The plan for land settlement as an
nounced by the State Chamber recently,
includes the grouping together of a
large party of prospective settlers to
be brought to Oregon from the middle
west in a body taking advantage of the
hameseekers' rates over the lines serv-
ing oregon. Arriving in this state, the
party will be conducted over the var
ious communities by automobiles for
personal inspection of the attractions
that the state has to offer.
The cooperation Of the railroads has
been assured and 1t Is believed that a
large number Of substantial citizens
will be added to the state through this
means

ters that the last call is being sent out
for the Far East Relief A vessel Is
being loaded at Portland with Oregon
wheat and other relief supplies and
this ship is to sail for Chinese ports

A number have made promises but the
grain has not been delivered at the
various points along the railroad to be

that the response he prompt now for
the time is very short in which to
make up the ear and get 1t to Portland
