THRESHER BURNS
Wm. Gillett. who brought his steam
thresning outfit over from Umatilla county,
suffered a loss Sunday evening while
threshir.g on a farm near Nibley. The
seperator and derrick was a total loss as
well as about one half a stick of barley.
They had just blown the whistle and part
of the crew was in the act of leaving
when the blaze was discovered. Aside
from the personal less to the owners of
the machine and grain, this will reduce
the number of machines, which means
those who had expected Mr. Gillett to do
their threshing, will now have to look
elsewhere, and as all of the machires are
well supplied with orders, these may
have their harvesting delayed.
HUE PEACHES

ments. Grande Ronde valley is becoming quite
a peach, country.
