local field in an able way and keeps
the Sun shining on the valley all of
the time. His people are loyal to him
and as a result Wallowa has a first
class country newspaper. '
Postmaster Tully takes care of Un

Notice : the name of Holmes Well,
somehow, when one sees that name In
an Eastern Oregon .town, he at once
labels the institution with which it is
la ' Wallow
connected as first-class. Yes, it is
the same Holmes blood that has de-'
veloped enonnous, enterprises In the
Grande Ronde valley. They possess
the business Judgment which brings
success. : ';,''.
