of their surplus fruit is probably mov- /
ed every autumn on account Of the 4
great crowds that come TO Pendleton

1--WE have shown that we are able
o forego temporary benefits for the
,enefit of a community larger than i,
oendleton. The assurance that the

cres of land right at Pendleton's front :
oor to be flooded. There was some
opposition TO the loss of this land, but ,

vershadow the loss and Pendleton is
costing for this project
