low a tract of land consisting oi
$50 acres and lying on Rhee
creek just above the Henry Gay
place. This is creek bottom and
hull land, lying on both sides Of the
creek. Mr.. Barlow willimmediate-
| ly begin the construction Of a
dwelling on the place and mov5
there. He will improve the prop
erty with view to diversified
farming, and ID few years will
have one of the best creek farms
in the county. This land is suit
able for fruit raising, gardening,
hog raising, dairying and general
diversified purposes. We hope to
hear Of many more like deals,
as the era of diversified farming is
beginning to dawn upon the county,
and this Rhea creek section Is one
of the very best. It is the opin-
ion Of this paper that ere long
there will be some of the very
finest orchards along this creek
that can be found anywhere. In
fact tie Hood River section is not
ahead of it when it is developed
up to the stage that it can be.
F. NJ. Griffin and Jake Bortzer,
of the lone section, were in
Heppner on Monday looking after
business matters. Jake has about
$50 acres of prime summerfallow
in shape to be sown, and is now on
rustic to get seed wheat. He, in
common with quite a number of
other farmers of the county, failed
to raise anything the past season,
and is without wheat necessary to
seed his ground. Some action
should be taken to help out such
worthy people, and more especially
so when the prospect is such that
they will reap an abundant harvest
the coming season. Jake is only
one of quite number who are
badly in need of help, and there
should be some one ready to play
the part Of the GOOD Samaritan

Junction by the branch line train
on Sunday to bring home the
greater portion cf the Morrow

it home on Sunday. and these came
in on Monday evening. What
little good money they had was
for the most part left with the
people of our sister CITY,. All re-
port a good time, even if it did
come little high.
