the sole object of developing the resources
of that portion of the northwest. We bid
it hearty welcome to the field of Journal

Heppner Gazette: Messrs. Beckett and
Bsymer, of the Eight Mile section, were in

as on the Blues proper, a mantle of snow is
seen, which has been falling for several
days past, when the lower regions OF bunch
grass were getting rain. The crop outlook
was never better.

use the copy as a memoranda and make his
mark opposite the number according to
copy-otherwise there will be many ticket
lost for marking the wrong name.
Chances are favorable for the establish
ment of the proposed telephone line from

he local exchange, and others interested,
will 60 over the route and perfect arrange
nents. The building of the line will be a
,reat advantage to Pendleton and to places
Ill along the route.
