from Heppner, which he purchased
last Fall from Warner Bros. This
is one of the best ranches on the creek .
being q combination of creek bottom
land and wheat land There is about
three hundred acres of fall-sown
wheat on the place that is doing fine
and Mr.. BAuman gets the benefit Of
this, and the ranch will also bring
good returns from its alfalfa fields.
He expects to make an ideal home out
of this ranch as he has had abundant
experience as farmer in the Wash
ington country and has grown-up buys
to help along with the work We
acknowledge a pleasant call from Mr..
Bauman, and he has started in right
by getting his name on the list OF
Gazette Times readers. More fam
lilies on our ranches is what is need
ed, and we bespeak for these new ar
rivals abundant success.
J. A. Keihn, who resides on the
Jameson ranch northeast Of lone, was
in Heppner on Saturday. He is we'll
pleased with the outlook and expects
a harvest of at least 35 bushels to the
acre if present prospects hold good.
Mr.. Keihn is new arrival in Nor
row county, and is we'll pleased with
his place and surroundings. He is
interesting other people from his for
mer home, and expects quite a num-
ber to locate here. A number will be
down FROM Spokane this week and
will be shown over the lands near
where Mr.. Keihn is living, and they
will doubtless be interested enough
to make purchase and locate here
permanently. They are from an in
dustrious farming class and just the
kind of people desired to settle on
these lands and put them in a state
of cultivation again. Geo. P. YoKum
a b1other-in-law of Mr.. Keihn, is in
charge of these people and is working
to get large number of the farming
class interested in Morrow county farm
lands. We hope for his success.
The U. S. supreme court has de-
MED H. H. Hendricks application
for new trial in his land fraud case
that has been pending for seven
years. A petition to the President
for a pardon is being circulated in
this vicinity, and is being signed by
everybody, it being the universal
opinion here that Mr.. Hendricks has
been sufficiently punished already for
an offense that was committed by
thousands of other stockmen who were
not molested, in the davs when the
government winked at all sorts of
in acquiring title to
public lands. Fossil Journal

this Office on Tuesday. He brought

disposed of the hides and the total
amount realized for the catch was over
)ne hundred dollars in cash.
