none at that price can compete with
the Sumpter Valley railroad in the

a price on timber east Of Baker City
as yet. There is no timber for COR

mer can get mere than $40 worth of

It was contended that the law had
always been interpreted by the ram
gers in this district that mining
man could not have what timber he
wanted up to the time his mine was
dividend payer, but could only have
$40 worth.

The feature of the afternoon was
Mrs. C. T. Donnell's paper. "The His

was prepared some time ago and was
read at White Salmon last fall and
hegins with the first mention of the

That son is now Hon. A. s. Roberts.
The coming OF J. r. Warner and

the settlement at Hood River, could
not be omitted. Mrs. Donnell also
mentioned the Indians, who had been
friendly to the whites and had given
warning of the troubles, among whom
was Sapotwil, johnson and John Sill

"reminiscences of White Salmon.
