FARMERS SuFFEE
AS RESULT OF DROP
IN MERCURY

According 10 all reports. the east
end Of the county. the apple growers
in this section have been hard hit by
the sudden change in temperature and
the heavy frosts, during the last week
or ton days. A considerable part OF
the crop had already been placed out
Of danger, but there was large
quantity OF apples picked and ready
for packing in the orchards when the
weather changed and II is expected
that these win be unfit for shipment
now.
In the west end OF the county rne
damage to fruit win not be as great
because Of the relatively smaller crop,
but many Of the farmers who have
been planning on reaping large re-
turns from their potato acreage this
year find 1t almost a total loss. Tho
frost has reached several inches into

PROSPECTS ARE GOOD FOR
ROADS ACROSS THE BLUES

Following a report Of John w. Cum
ningham, a government agent sent 70
Investigate the demand for and prac-
t:cability Of improved roads connect
ing Wallowa and Union counties with
Umatilla county and the Walla Walla
Valley movement that has been
encouraged in every possii:s way by
Walla Walla good roads men-those
who are deeply interested in the inn
provement begin to see a ray Of light
because Of the possibilities Of state
and federal aid for these roads, says
the Walla Walla Union.
Inspector Cunningham went over
both the proposed routes-one from
La Grande by way of s;eacnam to
Pendleton and the other way by way
Of Elgin and Toll Gate to Milton
and reported to the District Forester
at Portland that the first roads route
wasnot good one but that one would
probably be worked out that could be
made feasible; while the second road,
the one in which local people are more
interested. is entirely feasible and
needed.
Mr.. Cunningham advised the people
and the courts Of Union, Umatilla
and Wallowa counties to concentrate
their efforts on one of the roads first
SO far as federal aid is concerned.
1t now appears, however. that the
La Grande- Pendleton road win be
assisted by the state and the Elgin-
Milton road by the government for
estry service. as this latter road lies
largely within the federal reserves
while the first road does not.
The Elgin Recorder believes the
prospects for the two roads is now
good and invites comments from other
papers and persons interested.

surrounding country are now CORE
lating the raising of purebred sheep
with their agricultural operations and
to great profit. and as a consequence.
the raising of purebred sheep in the
Meridian country promises to become
one of its most highly featured indus
tries.
