A relic of olden times in East- ern Oregon, was an old range mare 16 years old which was brought in this week to be shod for tbe first time. Tbe animal during 16 years of liberty on tbe range had never been roped until a few days ago, when the old nag was caught up and, worked in on a freight wagon from Long Creek. The! job of shoeing was not to be envied. In early days range horses ran out on tbe range for years without be dog roped or bothered, but tbe progress of settlement has changed this condition of affairs. Tommy Brennan and a Gazette representative accepted an in vita tion to spend Sunday out at the country home of Mr and Mrs D O Justus. It is unnecessary to -state that a second invitation was not waited for. The trip np Hin ton creek now is a pleasant one. The atmosphere is filled with the fragrance of new mown hay. Tbe eoond crop of alfalfa is now be jng harvested with all possible ibaste. The crop is unusually good and the almost continuous alfalfa rfield separated only by the barbed wire line fences of the different owners up tbe narrow valley for a distance of eight or bine miles, presents a scene of oceans of hay. Out at the big stock ranch of Mr Justus the busy season is no on. This ranch which contains 7,500 acres, is one of the best im proved places in Monow county. Mr Justus has 50 acres of alfalfa land but is just getting started in to the growing of this valuable forage plant. The big ranch con tains a good sized body of rich farming land. The writer saw wheat out there that would go 35 bushel to the acre, but nothing is Hhrebbed, everything goiog into ttbe etaok lor feeding purposes. Mr Justns will put up 3"0 tons of choice grain hay. And not to overlook ihat elegant luncheon .aud dinner. Itwasfitfora king. George W. Vincent, a well known Monow county pioneer, died in Portland, Monday morn ing, August 1. The remaiuB were shipped to this city yesterday evening and fuueral services were conducted by Rev Warren from tbe South Methodist church this afternoon. The remains were laid at rest in the Heppner cemetery. The life of Mr. Vincent was one of activity and enterprise and done much toward tbe substantial develop merit of Morrow county, while bis fine executive "ability and praotical juda ment were freouently called into public service by bis fellow men as mark of their appreciation of hla capabilities. He was born in Winnebago county Wisconsin on February 7. 1808. At the age of four years bis parents moved to Minnesota, where be received his education in tbe publio schools after which be went to Nebraska for a year, thence to Fort Worth, Texas, where he engaged to ride the range continuing this antll 1883.

After one year he rented tbe plaoe where ha has continuously resided, two miles west of Galloway this he worked for. three years and then purchased it. His industry and good financiering were manifested in this course. To this he added 160 acres later. The old log cabin was replaoed by a fine modern residence. while many necessary outbnildingi added to the improvements that made his place a model in every respect. The land has all been ditched for irrigation and produces from COO to above 1000 tons of alfalfa hay per season. He was married at Fort Worth. Texas, on September 16. 1881 to Miss Lizzie Beard, a native of Missouri. whose parents ware early poineers to Texas. To this union five children were born; Nora and Lorina, both deceased; Oora.

Tunnel follows tunnel for mile after mile. Frequently, on the steeper and more threatening slopes, the tunnel line does not come to the sur face at all. but is reached for con struction purposes by side drifts or adits .through which the exoavated material and the concrete for lining are conveyed. Canyons are crossed with steel pressure pipes ten feet in diameter, and with pressure heads varying from 200 to 900 feet. The materials for construction are oon veyed np the mountainsides by aerial trams, and in these districts the engineering work is bold and impos ing. The next section of seventy miles is "cut-an-cover" construction through the desert plain. Here steam shovels excavate a deep trench about twelve feet wide and ten feet deep. in which the aqueduct is built the cover being kept constantly balow tbe eurlace of the ground so as to offer no obstruction to tbe occasional "cloudbursts" which rush down -the desert slopes. When tbe crest of tbe coast range is pierced, the grade drops from an elevation of 3000 feet to 1000 feet in the, San Fernando valley, immediately commanding by gravity all the suburbs of tbe city, rrom the Elizabeth tunnel to the San Fernando, the line is boldly located in a rugged country. As the work has progressed and the efficiency of tbe organization baa developed, tbe cost data have shown that the tunnel work was being done with surprising cheanness. and con sequently the amount of tunneling has been increased from 28 miles. originally contemplated in the loca tion of the ilne, to a total of forth- three miles. Tunnels are the most secure and permanent form of con struction possible. Thirty-eight miles of tunnel has been excavated in the past two years. "The western mines have yielded to the Los Angeles Aqueduct a most efficient tunnl organization.
