Gall tonight and see it 4 Zgbit HAY, GRAIN, WOOD Following- the announcement of David Ecclee yesterday, which ap peared in last evening's Issue of the Herald, comes Indications that very soon the Snake river country will show signs of returning; life in a Way that will make all Interested In east ern Oregon and western Idaho abund antly happy. George . C. Thompson, who has charge of the work for the Utah Con struction company, is In Baker City today arranging for supplies to be sent to the Snake river country, says the Herald. He informed a reporter for the Herald that a shipment of Powder was on the way and upon its arrival the quiet atmosphere would be excited along the Snake river by the continuous blasting as workmen dug their way Into the mountains and made openings through which the trains of commerce would later hurry as they carried their cargo from east ern points to the Pacific coast. Mr. Thompson will leave this evening for Huntington and from there to point of operation on the Snake. . n. O msu, manager of the Ox bow tunnel project, was in Baker to day. It will be remembered that Mr. O'Dell succeeded Mr. Wlnslow as man ager of this great undertaking. Work has been going on continuously at the Oxbow, but now that the railroad work will be resumed It Is understood more men will be employed on the power project and the vicinity of Homestead and Copperfleld will be alive, with working people who earn good wages, making business In that part of the country as good as any place In the northwest. We have in stock a lot of fine timothy, wild, grain and alfalfa hay, bought before the price advanced. We are selling this hay at low price, quality guaranteed. iy1 We'buy and sell oats, barley and mill stuff ofjall kinds. We'll sell flour at lower price than others. Try us. We are closing out our wood business. Have about 1 00 cords left. Get some at a reduced price before it is all gone. kTHE REAL ESTATE, LOAN AND COMMISSION IX).
