At present allied soldiers in the

A HEALING LOVE.

When forth into life's rough highway
they fare
To make anew each old mistake
And lade themselves with error-purchaseo
care,
Let not the old home love forsake
Them in that piteous hour of sorest neeo
AS in a hostile world they roam.
Instead, this gentle resolution heed:
Love still shall wait for them at home
The wrong things they may do you'n not
Condone
STU is no need to stand aghast
Or speak to them in harsh and chldlhs
tone
God knows they know, and it is past
One time you kissed the baby hurts oil
them
AS they sobbed to you, in the gloam
Theren be no lack of those who will
condemn
So let love wait for them at home!

One OF the finest special editions
ever coming to the Gazette. Times
desk arrived last week. 1t was the
40-pages Christmas number of the
terprise Record-Chieftain, Of
which George p Cheney is the able
editor. The number will be of much
value from an historical standpoint,
as the events in the growth and de-
velopment Of Enterprise and Wall
owa county are given chonologically.
The business men of the progressive
city OF Enterprise bought literally
of space in the Record-Chieftain COL
umns, in order to tell the people Of
Wallowa county the advantages Of
doing their Christmas buying at
home. Altogether, the paper is
splendid and reflects credit upon

people who make up the rapidly
growing metropolis Of Wallowa coun-
ty.

STUDENTS WILL WORK
FOR WOMEN'S BUILDING

Mr.. Arthur Campbell and Miss
Cecile DeVore have been appointed
by the student council of the Uni

Greater Oregon student committee
in handling the local end of a $50,
600 campaign the students are start
ing to complete the unfinished Wo-
mems Building on the University
campus, and have arrived here to
take charge of the work.
The state has been divided for the
purposes of the campaign into seven
districts by the students of the Uni
versity, who have taken entire charge
of raising the last $4,000 needed to
finish the 100000 building. The
district including this county is un-
der the direction of Lindsay Near
thur of Baker
The Women's Building will house
the women's gymnasium, the depart
ment of household arts and others
of the women's activities on the cam
pus. Half of the necessary $780,
600 must be raised by private sub
scription, the legislature having sup
piled 100000 to match the indiv-
idual generosity of citizens of Ore
gon.
With its enrolment almost doubl-
ed since its last new building was
completed, the University finds its
buildings entirely inadequate to han
die the students already there, to
say nothing of the large increase GER
tain for next fall. The students,
aroused to the emergency, have call

campaign in which they feel conf

NEW MARKET ROAD
AND MAIL ROUTE
Farmers in Western Part Of Coun-
ty Tire of Long Road to Mar
ket and Absence of Mail
Service-Propose New
Road

A new Market road is being pro-
posed by farmers residing in Goose
berry and Dry Fork Districts that
will shorten the haul to market from
to Is miles and will offer a bet
ter and shorter route for mail SER
vice, say those farmers of that part
Of the county who have given the
matter much study.
The new road would follow Dry
Fork Canyon to its junction with
Rock creek, thence to the nearest
station on the Condor branch Of the
o. W. R. & n. railroad. Reports
from those having gone over the
route claim it can easily be put on a
five per cent grade.
Such road, it is contended, would
be great loss to the commercial In
terests of the county, as it taps a
vast area of Morrow county's best
wheat land.
On the other hand, bonds have al
ready been voted for road leading
from lone into the Gooseberry sec
ton, and Gooseberry farmers are
getting restless and want the work
to start sometime in the immediate
future. They have been without
mail service for a number of years.
Our farmers on the west are entitled
to more consideration and The Gaz-
ette- Times would like to see the COM
mercial bodies of lone and Heppner
cooperating in the matter Of bet
ter roads and mail service for the
Gooseberry and Dry Fork districts.
