" So the ad vance party, in order , to mark the route for those who came after and also to guide the force on their return Journey, twisted the saplings along the way tyito living knots. The war end ed, but the tied up trees grew and flourished, although uncouthly twisted and distorted, and are now the only reminders of that uprising of the der vishes. ; ' SOTICE OF STREET IJIPEOYEMEST TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: Nr. tlc-9 is hereby given that in pursuance of a resolution adopted by the common j council of the city of La Grande, Ore gon, on the 30th day of August, 1911, ti eating improvement district No. 16 and designating Sixth street as such district, and in pursuance of a resolu tion adopted by said common council on the 30th day of August, 1911, where by said council determined and de clared its intention to improve all that portion of Sixth street, in said improvement district as hereinafter described, by laying thereon bltulithlc pavement, the council will, ten days after the service of this notice upon the' owners of the property affected and benefited by such improvement, order that said above described im provement be made; that the boundar ies of said district to be so Improved are as follows: . ; All that portion of Sixth street, from the north line of K avenue,.. to the south line of Washington avenue.
