and dropsy. Mr.. and Mrs. Williams
left on the night train Tuesday for
Dayton, where the funeral will take
place. She leaves three daughters and
five sons, besides her grandchildren.
We surely miss the train service
in here and hope the railway company
will soon get to work and put in a
new bridge and give us service again.
In the meantime, couldn't they help out
by running a train in from Kenne-
wick two or three times a week for
express? Hedges community would
certainly appreciate it and if the peo-
pie of the district would unite in ap-
preaching the OR. & N. Co. for re-
turn of train service there is no reason
why we should not have them running
again in the near future.

pensed with Saturday evening and Mr..
Dunbar gave very interesting talk
on cows, urging the need of more
buyers to cooperate with him in his
dairy project: also Professor Crane,
from Pullman gave some valuable and
instructive points on the drainage
question. This was very appropriate
at this time as the board of directors
on the drainage system here is trying
to work out a plan for that particular
need. There was a fair attendance.
A number of grangers went to Locust
