weeks visit 10 the old country. HI
had a very pleasant trip, both goiDl
and coming, and found his father
in excellent health. While some o
the towns in Germany have made
advances in the past 20 years, mos
of the country looked very familiar
and the people were in the mair
plodding along at the old gait
Mr.. Marquardsen was glad to gel
back, however, and American sol
looks mighty good to him.
Oscar Borg thoroughly renovated
his place of business this week
giving it treatmint of new and
elegant paper. Artist K. l.. Berry
was the high muck-a-muck in
charge of the decorations, and OF
course it was done up just proper.
1t is said that what Ed dosn't
know about painting, paper hang
ing and house decorating wouldn't
fill very large book, but we are
willing to let him sing his own
praise. The Borg job speaks for
itself.

of Heppner, is up from Portland
this week, after an absence of
about four years. He is trying to
dispose Of his property interests

a location as a laborer on a ranch
here. Mr.. Quade is fine ma
chinist and a general all-round
man, ready to do any kind of farm
work, and he desires a location for
himself and wife.

a trip to Grant and Wheeler county

growing slow, and rain and warmer
weather is needed.
H. Scherzlnger was in town Sat
urday, accompanied by his family.
Hank states that is very dry on
the creek, and the water used in
seems to accomplish but
little good. However, as the wea-
ther is now getting warmer, vegc-
tation will begin to loom up. Rain
is needed pretty badly on the sheep
range.
