BUILDING NEW GRADE.
Ten Miles of o. X. & N. Grade Worl
About Complete Out of Wallowa.

ID. X. Nicley, formerly a resident of
this county, but now residing in Elgin,
is in the city for a few days looking
over the country and visiting.
He says that practically 10 miles of
the o. r. & N. grade on the Wallowq
extension of the o. r. & N. is now
complete out of Elgin, excepting the
bridges. Work is being pushed as
rapidly as possible and there is every
indication that track laying will begin
early in the spring.
Property values in Elgin are ad-
vancing as a result of the railroad
building and there is every hope that
next year will be an active and pros
porous year for the little town.

board, which will be held within the
next 10 days. The remaining two
members will perhaps be selected out
side of Pendleton.
The academy is more popular and
widely known this year than ever, be-
cause of the wide advertising given it
during the past two years and the at
tendance is very good. Arrange
ments will probably be made to es-
tablish a dormitory within the next
year, thus providing for an unlimited
number of outside students.

card bears the symbol letters FIJI,
and is numbered from l to 500. Each
red ball station has a different symbol

lions are that freight cars thus marked
shall be handled with all possible haste,

ton, its number and symbol is report
