S. Z. Notson returned home Mon
day forenoon from a trip into Union
and Wallowa counties, where he
made a few speeches on behalf Of the
Republican State Central committee.
He spoke Saturday evening at Enter
prise and on Sunday was taken to
Joseph and Wallowa Lake by o. G.
Crawford Of the Joseph Herald, who
misses no opportunity Of showing up
the beauties Of that section to visit
ors to the valley from h~ereabouts.
Mr.. Notson found some pretty cold
weather at the head Of the lake and
that section is not far removed from
the embrace Of winter at this time.
Carl Peterson, who farms quite
extensively In the lone section, was
doing business in Heppner Saturday,
and this Office acknowledges a pleasant
call from him. He states that he
finished his seeding quite early on
about $50 acres Of summerfallow, the
grain is all up and growing fine. Mr..
Peterson is a strong believer in early
seeding and thinks our farmers are
rapidly coming to this method, as in
the majority Of cases the grain is
quite fully developed before the hot
winds Of the early summer, which
are always disastrous to the yield.
Willard French came in from his
home at Midvale, Idaho on Friday and
is spending sometime with his rela-
tives here. Mr.. French states that con-
ditions in his part Of Idaho have been
pretty dull for the past several years
owing to short wheat crops, and the
past season was just a little the worst
Of all. 1t is still dry in the Midvale
and Cambridge sections, and sown
grain Is not coming along well. That
part Of Idaho does produce some
great crops Of both fruit and grain
when the conditions are right.

counting Company of Walla walla,
was a visitor In the city on Monday.

first Of the year. Mr.. Cosper was

nal Revenue office at Portland, under
Colonel Miller.
Harvey Bauman was up from the
farm on Willow creek for q short
time Monday. The early sown grain
on the Bauman lands is doing fine,
but moisture is needed to help out
the later seeding, much of which has
not yet made a start, though Mr.. Bau-
man feels that 1t will come along al
right with the encouragement Of mois-
ture, and this should be on the way,
either in rain or snow.

in Heppner for a few days the end Of

we'll, but moisture is needed there

mote good growth Of fall sown grain.
