A very pretty wedding occurred at
the home Of Mr.. and Mrs. E. L. Pad
berg, Of lone, Sunday, March 26th.
when their daughter Opal May was
married to Walter Guy Cason. At
1880 o'clock the young people en-
tered the room to the strains Of the
wedding march rendered by Miss
Muriel Cason, where they we're join
ed in the bonds of wedlock, E. Tenn
pie Starkey. pastor Of the Baptist
church, officiating.
The bride is one of the popular
young ladies Of the vicinity and is
loved and admired by all who know
her. The groom is young man Of
high ideals and sterling worth. In
view of their nobility of character
and loyalty to each other we predict
for them a bright and happy future.
Their many friends join in heartiest
congratulations and best wishes.
They will make their home in lone.
M. Hansen, Of Spokane, is here
looking after his land interests. He
is the owner of large tract of land
to the north of lone and is arranging
to transfer a portion of 1t to other
parties who contemplate opening up
stock ranch. Mr.. Hansen is pion-
eer farmer of the Palouse country,
settling there some 40 years ago, and
for many years had to undergo great
hardship and would have been glad
to give away his land to anyone that
would take 1t. This was before the
railroad reached Whitman county
and there was no market for any,
thing the people there could raise.
After that event the advancement of
that famous section was very rapid,
and Mr.. Hansen says that much of
the farm land there could not be had
now for less than $3.50 per acre. 1t
is his opinion that Morrow county
will soon come to the front and he
freely expresses the opinion that all
people who are holding lands here
simply for speculative purposes, just
as he has been doing for number
Of years, should place their holdings
on the market and encourage actual
home builders to locate here and de-
velop the farms. It is his intention
to do this, and he Is we'll satisfied
that II the lands here are properly
handled, profitable results will fol-
low. He points to his neighbor, Mr..
H. Slender, as being one who has
amply proved this theory, and what
he has done others can do in the
same section of country. Mr.. Han
sen is right.
Walter Cochran was down from
Heppner over Sunday. He has pur-
chased the plant used in publishing
the lone Journal, and will make
some necessary additions thereto pre-
paratory to beginning the publication
Of an entirely new paper at this
place. Walter Is a native of lone
and q young man Of splendid quail
flcations that have been developed
somewhat along the line of country
newspaper work, and his numerous
friends here will be pleased to en-
courage him in the new venture.
A pleasant surprise was in store
for the large audience that gathered
at the Congregational church on
Tuesday evening to listen to a recital
given by the music pupils of Miss
Margaret Jones. Miss Jones has
class Of a dozen pupils on piano, and
they each one had a part in the pro-
gram, the rendition of their pieces
proving that they are making rapid
advancement. The church was filled
by parents and friends of the per-
formers and the program was greatly
enjoyed.
