Sunset Magazine.
Numerous discoveries of the bones
of animals and rocks containing the
perfect imprint of the plants OF the

unearth the fossil remains Of a cam

Within recent years many fossil
beds of beautiful palm leaves have
been found in eastern Oregon.

the smile on the faces OF the local

The government has appropriated
$333,333 to be advanced to the farm

ALREADY IN distress on account Of the
drought, and steps have been taken
TO assist the same class in some 9th

She has lived on Estes street In one
OF the little shacks under the ridge
for the last few months and tho
nelghbors know little OF her, says the
Baker City Herald.
The scene at the home Is one OF
great desti:ution. The one room
which she occupied contained a bed,

there were few crusts OF dry bread
and some old fruit which was not M
