8 JULY FOURTH
Elgin is planning for a great two
days'' celebration of the national
birthday anniversary this year.
Backed by the newly organized com
mercial club and sanctioned last eve
ning by a mass meeting of the citi
zens of the city, Elgin invites every,
body from everywhere to spend eith
er Friday or Saturday July fourth
and fifth with them in a good old
time celebration. It is too early to
make any definite announcements as
yet, but all the details will be told
in due time. . '
As a city to be counted on every
season in every year Elgin' stands
second to none. Sometimes business
is better, but it is always good. This
year the lumber mills promise to cut
the largest run in their history, esti
mating the season's output to total
about twelve million feet. A new
creamery has been started in Elgin
.and is becoming one of the important
industries of the town.' - - r
Many improvements are being plan-,
ned for this summer, and to start the
.year off right last week was cleanup
week which was well observed.
O.-W. R. & N. Improvements.
It has become known that the O.
W. R. & N. is planning to make some
important improvements in Elgin, It
is proposed to change the location of
the depot, building a new depot a
block nearer the center of the town,
and marking a beautiful park out of
. the several extra acres that the rail
road owns. These improvements will
not only give Elgin much- better 'de
pot facilities, but also add material
to the attractiveness of the town.'

promises to be excellent.
Mrs. Frank Victor of the Wallowa
canyon, had the misfortune of having
her strawberry ." and blackberry
patches run through and mostly de
stroyed by a fire, supposed to have
been set by a tramp. Quite a piece
of fence was also destroyed .by the
fire, it being one of those dry warm
days we had. Mrs. Victor 'found it
very difficult to keep the blaze from
spreading, but finally got it under
control without' further damage.

Mountain commenced the season's
run Monday. All things indicate a
very busy and successful run this
summer.
