Not a boy In West La Grande but what could be called an Intimate friend of Pedro. " To the Cochran family be was high ly attached arid his relations were re ciprocated.

On last night's westbound train were many colonists. The accommodations of the usual-size train was Inadequate, and required three additional coaches. The influx ja not spasmodic, ap parently, for In tonight's westbound train are 15 coaches. This enlarged train Is loaded with homeseekers. There Is a possibility that the train will be reduced before It reaches La Grande, but the train that left Po catello was composed of 15 coaches to day. To all appearances, the first week of colonist rates this spring will break all former records for one week. A goodly portion of homeseekers reach ed I-a Grande today, so all the mlgia tlon Is not passing by. More are com lng tonight. IIusIihxh Ilt-ks I' p.
