several evenings of each week. While
we hare a namber of boys who are
making remarkable development for
the time and practice they have had, it
will t&ke several weeks for them to
know just where their strong points
are. While it may not be the . proper
thing to give the time of any of the
events at this date, yet Raymond Mo

ing cherry blossoms with foliage. The
groom wore' the conventional black,
and looked very happy (as a Broom
should.)
After the ceremony, a dainty supper
was
served, after which the vouna

one of the most promising of La
Grande's young contractors and is
rapidly making a place for himself
among the best builders of the county.
Their many friends loin In wlshina
