In the meantime the bonfires blaz-

and waited at Meacham and Bingham
springs and finally about 1880 a. m.
the so picnickers at Meacham after
having burned up all the old lumber
ties, brush anr every other combus-
tible article tributary to the station,
sleepily snuggled down into their seats
and pulled their hats over their eyes,
secretly vowing that it was their "last
time" in the mountains
But still the misery continued at
Bingham springs where a large party
still pressed the hard boards OF the
depot platform, turning an anxious
ear toward the mountain occasionally
to listen for the sound of the laggard
train.
1t was about $3.50 when the last
weary Pendletonian on the mountain
division Of the o. R. & n. climbed into
the coach, madder, colder and perhaps
wiser than ever before this season.

when the first bunch of Pendleton
people found seats and closed their
eyes for brief snooze leaving La
Grande.
