FIRST RAILROAD
TRAIN IN COUNTY
Crosses Temporary Bridge Over
Grande ROnde, Tuesday
Work Stopped.

The first railroad train entered Wal
Iowa county Tuesday morning over
the temporary bridge across the
Grande Ronde, and If the suspension
of work orders are lifted in day or
two, rails will be laid as far as the
Minam by the middle Of this month.
Engineer Long Of the o. r. & N. re-
ceived orders Wednesday to have con.
tractor J. E. Patterson suspend work
OH the grading of the depot grounds.
Mr.. Patterson, who has subcontract
from Erickson g. Peterson phoned their
headquarters at the Bridge Thursday
morning, aud was told to go ahead
with his work. The Elgin oilioe o!
the o. R. & N. told Mr.. Long to allow
Patterson to proceed under orders
from Erickson & Peterson.
All kinds of rumors are afloat but it
is not believed the suspension will be
for more than few days. Only Tues
day the Bridge camp received orders to
send IS teams to the mouth OF the
Wallowa to distribute ties up the
canyon.
Work is proceeding on the grading
in the valley at this time, Thursday
afternoon.

test For Pupils Of WallOwa
County Schools.

The firm of w. ]. Funk & Co. inaugu-
rate this week in the News Record a
unique contest that will no doubt
awaken interest from one end of Wal
Iowa county to the other, especially
among the young folks.
The Buster Brown pictures and reading
matter accompanying them have attain.
ed the greatest and most desc, we'd popu-
larity of any series ever published. They
are as far ahead of the ordinary "Comic
page" illustrations as the modern
half-tone is ahead of the old wood cut.
They are different. They are worth pre-
serving both for their artistic quality al d
the philosophy so quantity taught in
the reflections of Buster. Now add to
that cash prizes of SIS and every boy
and girl in the county has an incentive
to cut out the pictures and save them.
In the advertisement on this page, w.
j. Funk & Co. announce series OF
Buster Brown pictures to run every
week in the News Record for one year,
To the pupil of a Wallowa county
school who brings to their store at the
end Of the year the largest number o.

F. A. ReaviS Buys
Lakeside Tract

Through the efforts of the o. R. & l..
Co. deal was contaminated this week
wherein F. A. Reavis acquires possession
of the 120 acre tract at the head OF
Wallowa lake formerly owned by Alex
Donnelly. Although the price paid is
not given out, il il understood that Mr.
Reavis secured the place at bargain.
Unless one has been keeping tab on
prices OF land in that locality the prices
at which it is going would be surprising
Mr.. Reayis is to be congratulated in
this purchase as it is the only tract left
ON the market and property adjoining
has already been laid off into townsite
and cut up into lots. Mr.. Reavis con-
templates building fine summer cot
tage in the near future, and has land
enough to let some of his fri ends in on
| the deal when the proper time comes

Post, the referee appointed by the Ne
braska supreme court to take testi.
mony on the alleged lumber trust,
made his report. He finds that the
Nebraska Lumber Dealers assocla.
tion, as now maintained, is not con.
trary TO the state trust laws. The in.
vestigation made by the referee GOV.
cred a period OF several months, in
which practically all the lumber deal
ers of the state were made defendants.
If the supreme court sustains the ref.
cree. it means the dismissal Of the
Suits
