business in Heppner yesterday, be-

before the county court. He was in
company with Charley Bartholomew

creek farmers have hopes that before
a great while they may be able to-
get their crops to the railroad easier
and cheaper than possible at present.
This time of the year their road be-
comes almost impossible because of
deep chucks and dust, and 1t would
appear that nothing short of the ex-
pense of macadamizing that thoro-
fare will solve the question.

has the contract to put down new

that building, covering the entire
ground space of the corner is in con-
temptation by the present owners but
that nothing In this line will trans
pire before another summer, perhaps.
To get the corner cleaned up and
the new walks down will be a splen-
did improvement just at this time.
and our people can we'll afford to
await the pleasure of the owners of
tba nronertv as to further improve
