POTATO WAREHOUSE NEEDED

W. l.. Rayborn is convalescing from
an attacl; of influenza but has been
forbidden by his physician to resume
farming activities for week or two.
He finds it exasperating to "kill
time" with all kinds Of duties on his
mountain farm demanding his atten-
tion. He finds some relief in talking
potato warehouse, and says an insti-
tuition of this character is demanded
at Weston if the potato men are to
reap full advantage Of the growth
Of their industry. Mr.. Rayborn is
much interested in plans submitted
by Fred Bennion, county agent, for
a warehouse Of one hundred cars
capacity, and says that it seems to be
well adapted to the needs Of this dis
trict. Mr. Rayborn still has about
rs tons of certified seed potatoes to
dispose of. He sold about half his
crop at $50 per ton.

CLEANUP DAYS At HAND
RUBBISH WILL DISAPPEAR

NThe season Of municipal Cleanup
Day is at hand, and in all probability
the mayor will designate the date on
which Athena residents and property
owners will be expected to clean up
their premises.
A large number Of Athena home
makers have not waited for the off
cial call this year, but have gone
ahead and cleaned up the rubbish
that accumulated during the fall and
winter months, and have either
burned it or had it hauled away to
the city dumping grounds.
With the permanent Improvement
Of streets last year came the civic
obligation to keep adjoining proper
ty free from debris collection. And
also notable fact is that alleys are
also receiving attention, with the re-
suit that in spots, rubbish accumu-
lations have been removed. However,
SO far the cleaning up process has
been Of a spasmodic nature and the
official cleanup PROCLAMATION by the
mayor is awaited.
With the propects of an ample sup
ply of water for the coming season
Of irrigation, considerable parking
activity will soon be under way.
Many of the parkings have already
been filled in with fertile soil and
seeded to grass. Other parkings are
in different stages of completion, and
the summer will see practically all
parkings along the paved street Sec
tions seeded to grass.
Considerable more lawn yardage
will be added to Athena residential
districts this year as result Of the
new parkings, and this will require
more water service from the city
water system than heretofore. A
copious store Of winter moisture; and
the fact that several feet Of snow
covers the summit Of the Blue Mount
aims, augurs well for supply salts
factory for the demands of Athena
this year.

.M|LT MILLER FOR GOVERNOR
WALT PIERCE FOR CONGRESS

The East Oregonian announces
that Umatilla county democrats are
grooming Milton A. Miller to run for
governor and Walter M. Pierce for
congress.
Owing to the mixup in political af-
fairs this year and the prospects of
disaffection nomination for governor
assumes considerable Importance.
The view was held by those present
at meeting in Pendleton Tuesday
evening that Mr.. Miller is the logical
democratic nominee and he is being
formally asked to get into the race.
His name has frequently been men
toned in this connection but thus
far no announcement has ever been
made by Mr.. Miller. He is widely
known and generally popular.
There is also much talk that Con-
gresham Sinnott will find heavy
slump in his vote if he has formid-
able opponent. Consequently the
democratic congressional nomination
may carry Importance. Mr.. Pierce
is well known throughout the district
and being good campaigner is ex-
pected to make a stronger race if he
enters the field. His friends predict
that he will beat Sinnott if the two
men run.
The democrats are also considering
the proposition of having man on
the county ticket for county commits
sioner and several men out for the
legislature. The names Of w. T.
Reeves, Of Stanfield, J. w. Campbell,
of Hermiston and E. G. McCook Of
Pendleton are most prominently men
toned for the commissionership.
For representatives from this coun-
ty those at the meeting would like to
see DR.. Fred A. Lieuallen and Bruce
Shangle of Milton on the ticket. No
attempt was made to secure a senat-
orial candidate or candidate for the
joint senatorship.
There are some $500 registered
democratic voters in this county.

Town OF; /. UMAT|LLA
'T0SsEs HAT IN RING
ON COUNTY DIVISION
Would Take in West End Towns
Of Echo, StanfieId, Hermiston
Irrlgon and Town Of Boardman

Is Umatilla county to be thrown in
to the tormoil of county division
schemes, such as used to mark the
stakes Of political campaigns when
Milton and the East end used to
sow divisional lines of discord?
1t would seem SC from reading an
account in the Pendleton Tribune of
action taken to divide the county by
the Commercial Association of the
town Of Umatilla. said lines Of divis-
ion to take in the towns of Umatilla,
Hermiston, Irrigon, Boardman, STAN
field and Echo. The Tribune says:
Umatilla Commercial club proposes
to divide Umatilla county.
A resolution endorsing such a move
has been adopted by that association
which recommends that new county
be formed which would include Echo,
Stanfield, Hermiston, Umatilla, Irri-
gor and Boardman and adjoining ter
ritory.
Growth in prosperity and popula-
tion of that part of the west end of
Umatilla county and the north end
of Morrow county, contained in the
Umatilla Irrigation project warrants
separate county government, in the
opinion of the Umatillans, who de-
sire to see the home town again desig-
mated as county seat. The once
county metropolis, was many years
ago the county seat but history tells
Of a sudden moving Of the records,
courthouse and other paraphernalia
Of an official county to Pendleton.
This has long been the desire Of
Umatilla, and is not a surprise to local
citizens Of long history here, who
were apprised of the resolution last
night.
Prominent west county men called
by long distance last night from
towns other than Umatilla, washed
their hands of the resolution, but ad-
mitted that it would possibly be a
regretable situation. President E. P.
Dodd Of Hcrmiston declared that he
did not believe the proposal would
even be discussed at the commercial
meeting in his town today and said
Count us out of that"
Umatilla is close to the edge of the
county and is located on the line of
the proposed Wallula cutoff.

bert stones WIFE
|DESPONDENI, TAKES
LIFE At PORTLAND
Woman a Granddaughter Of Mrs.
Kennedy Of Weston, Formerly
Lived Here With Her Husband.

Violet, wife of Bert Stone, nephew
Of Sanford Stone of this city. COM
mitted suicide at $40 Kirby street,
Portland Tuesday night by taking
chloroform from a bottle that evil
IDENTIFY had been purchased at the Per-
kins Hotel Pharmacy.
The unfortunate woman, who was
a granddaughter Of Mrs. H. L. Ken
nedy of Weston, had recently left
her husband and had been living with
one Francis Lane, an O. W. r. & N.
employe, at the aboye-named address.
Lane told the police that his wife
had committed suicide. Investigation,
however, revealed that she was the
wife Of A. L. Stone, said by police to
be employed at Kerr Clifford company,
whom she left for Lane. She and
Lane had lived in the Kirby street
house about six weeks, said neigh
bors. They knew Mrs. Stone, they
said, as Mrs. Bert Lane.
Police closely questioned Lane, who
gave straightforward narration. He
was not held for further questioning.
Police will ascertain who purchased
the bottle from which the woman took
the fatal dose.
Lane is deaf. To converse with him
she wrote notes. Police found them in
all parts Of the house, written on all
kinds of paper. When the conversa-
tion was calm they were written in a
good hand. At other times they were
scrawled, almost illegibly.
Their love affair came to crisis
Tuesday night, Lane said Wednesday,
the woman told him she had made up
her mind to leave him.
Il went down town with her." Lane
said, "and kissed her goodbye at 4th
and Washington streets. She said
she was going to get room. asked
her if she loved anyone else and she
shook her head.
"When went home at 1 o'clock
in the morning, she was there.
That thought nothing unusual, as
she had left me before only to return,
but this time when I found her she
was dead. She was lying on the
floor, dressed only in her chemise.
She left note"
Lane, without hint Of reserve, ex-
hibited the following note, testimonial
of woman's devotion all for naught:
"Please forgive me for the angry
things have said. love you"
Bert Stone and Miss Kennedy were
married at Walla Walla several years
ago, he having met her at the home
Of Mrs. Kennedy, who at that time re-
sided in Athena, and for some time
the couple lived here. They have
one child.
